"Are these the gods and goddesses of various races?"

"I heard they were directly promoted to the third trial; that's the treatment a prodigy from a great clan receives!"

"That's normal. After all, those who are chosen as the gods and goddesses of their respective races are no ordinary people. If they really come to participate in the assessment with us, the second stage will probably be extremely dangerous."

"That makes sense."

People gradually emerged from the temple, all discussing the matter.

Outside the palace, numerous divine sons and daughters hovered high in the sky, indifferently glancing down at the people inside the palace before scrutinizing the divine sons of other races. To them, the divine sons of other races would be their competitors when they entered the Heavenly Dao Academy in the future.

"Um?"

Su Ping also walked out of the temple and glanced around. He saw that there were two or three hundred of these divine sons and daughters. This number surprised him slightly. Could it be that all the races in the entire divine realm had sent their own divine sons?

Soon, Su Ping spotted a familiar figure inside.

"Look, isn't that the person we met earlier?" Tang Ruyan exclaimed in a low voice from the side.

Among the group of divine sons and daughters, four or five people stood together, all with the same hair and eye color, and all wearing the same purple clan emblem on their divine robes. One of the young men was none other than the Lin clan youth that Su Ping had encountered earlier.

Beside the young man stood two men and two women, all with extraordinary bearing and graceful bearing, calmly surveying their surroundings. They did not appear to be the young man's servants.

"There are more than a dozen high-ranking gods here," Joanna said in a low, solemn voice.

"Only a dozen or so?" Su Ping was taken aback. When he saw this group of divine sons and daughters, he thought they were all high-ranking gods.

"In the entire Primordial God Realm, there were only about thirty high-ranking gods. How many are left now is unknown. The sons and daughters of the other mid-ranking gods are not to be underestimated either. Some of the top geniuses born from mid-ranking gods can even easily defeat the sons of high-ranking gods, but..."

She suddenly stopped talking at this point.

"But what?" Tang Ruyan asked curiously.

Joanna paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "However, such prodigies either need to pledge allegiance to a high-ranking god race and become its vassal, or find a powerful force comparable to a high-ranking god race, such as the Heavenly Dao Academy, or join a sect founded by an ancestral god. Otherwise, without protection, these prodigies will not go far."

Tang Ruyan exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that these high-ranking gods would actually suppress us? That's incredibly petty!"

"This isn't a matter of being petty. The territories allocated by the high-ranking gods are the most fertile places. Every time a high-ranking god is born, the interests of the other high-ranking gods will be harmed. To become a high-ranking god, not only does the strength of one's entire clan need to be raised to a corresponding level, but one also needs connections. Of course, if an ancestral god is born, then one can undoubtedly become a high-ranking god," Joanna explained in a low voice.

Tang Ruyan realized what was happening, her expression turning strange. She said, "How come it sounds like the competition between us and other families isn't much different?"

"Since ancient times, many things and rules have been universal across different social classes and species," Su Ping said calmly.

Joanna nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "The ones next to the Lin Clan's divine son should also be divine sons and daughters of the Lin Clan. Generally, high-ranking divine clans will elect four or five, or even more than ten, divine sons. This depends on the number and quality of the geniuses born in the clan. The divine son who can eventually succeed as the clan leader and become the divine emperor is the strongest among the divine sons. This competition usually begins when the divine son reaches the Godhood Realm."

"However, the competition among the divine children begins the moment they are chosen to become divine children."

Tang Ruyan asked curiously, "What about the divine sons who lose the competition? Are they killed?"

"Some were killed, some were exiled, it was inevitable. Although those chosen to become the children of gods are all geniuses, in order to obtain the strongest genius, the others are just supporting roles. After all, the strongest top power only needs one, and no matter how many secondary powers there are, they cannot shake or be exchanged," Joanna said.

Seeing her calm expression, Tang Ruyan suddenly realized that compared to the other person, her mentality was not mature enough.

"Father made me his sister's mask back then, all for the sake of the family... But..." Her eyes flickered, and she shook her head slightly, suppressing the thoughts in her heart.

As they were talking, three elders of the Heavenly Dao Academy appeared in mid-air. The elder with the gentle face smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Today is the third test. I'm sure you all know what the test is about. It tests your divinity. Because the standards of my Heavenly Dao Academy are a little different, there are no qualified people. Don't be discouraged. Cultivate your mind and character in the future, and you will have another chance."

His words were like a gentle breeze, and no one felt slighted.

After saying a few words, the old man flicked his sleeve, and a dazzling golden divine stone appeared. The stone was about six zhang long and was inlaid with black metal nails. Black metal lines were strung between these nails, and the ends were connected to a sphere the size of a head.

"This is the Golden Divine Stone, also known as the Tears of the Gods."

"This object is extremely sensitive to divinity, and therefore it can also be used as a sensor to explore divine treasures."

"After the modification, you only need to touch the sphere at the front with your palms, and the concentration of divinity deep within your souls will be sensed."

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced ahead and said, "Now, the divine children of each race will come first. Who wants to be the first to come up for the test?"

"I!"

"I!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight voices rang out, both male and female, all of whom were clearly confident and aggressive, and acted swiftly and decisively.

"Come out, one by one," the old man said gently.

These people immediately flew out, the fastest of whom was a woman who was closest to the golden divine stone. This woman was wearing a black skirt with countless crystal points on it, which seemed to be twinkling with stars. This was an extremely powerful defensive treasure.

As they flew off, several figures dressed in white Daoist robes flew in from the void beside them. Su Ping discovered that these people all possessed the aura of the God-Sealing Realm.

"State your name and family, then come forward for the test," one of the middle-aged men wearing a star-studded crown said in a deep voice. He held a divine book in his hand, which he slowly opened, revealing a brush made of divine power, as if it were ready to be used for recording.

The woman in the black dress spoke in a voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's, carrying a hint of pride and confidence: "Yao Clan, Lingyin!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and placed his hand on the black sphere.

Soon, the pitch-black sphere began to emit a golden light, which appeared in wisps until the entire sphere was dyed gold. Then, along the black metal behind the sphere, the light spread to the black nails on the divine stone.

One, two, a total of seven black nails were dyed gold.

When the golden light stopped, the middle-aged man wearing the star crown gestured for her to step down. The divine brush on his chest automatically recorded the information in the divine book, and then said, "Next."
