Chapter 10, The Hall of the Gods

After a moment, Yu Ziyuan slowly said: "Little brother, is this what Brother Shen told you?"

Just as Ling He was wearing a pleased expression, he noticed that Zi Yuan's face suddenly darkened. She said, "At your young age, why are you thinking about such scheming matters? It's truly annoying. Hmph, make sure to rest well. Tomorrow, when you participate in the Divine Grace Assessment, you must grasp the proper measure, without any mistakes or overstepping your bounds"

Only when he saw the improvement in Ziyuan's complexion did he suddenly say: "Sister, do you want me to conceal the power of divine grace because you do not wish for others to know?"

Yu Ziyuan swallowed hard, forcing a bitter smile as she said, "Alright, little brother, you have indeed grown up, and I can leave with peace of mind"

He can now be said to have just embarked on the path of cultivation. Although due to the game of Beast Chess, he has repeatedly received divine favor, which not only allowed him to successfully refine the Star Force but also enabled him to manifest divine grace.

Yu Ziyuan quickly tugged at her younger brother, and the two hastened their steps to arrive in front of the person. Yu Ziyuan performed a bow and said: "Director Xu, we are troubling you again."

Touching her own nose, Yu Linghe widened her eyes and said, "Sister, you are overthinking it, aren't you"

Moments later, the great door of the temple was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out slowly. He bowed to Yu Ziyuan and said: "Miss Yu, Director Xu has been waiting for you for quite some time."

Ling He felt a stir in her heart and asked again, "Sister, you also performed very well in the past, so how did you manage to evade their recruitment and schemes?"

Ah, a woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the ocean, truly difficult to fathom

"Manifesting a finished image?" Ling He looked incredulous and said, "Sister, please don't joke with me. How could I possibly manifest a divine object into a finished image?"

Although Ling He had the care of his elder sister before, he was unable to absorb star power, and thus did not qualify to enter. This time, it was also his first time entering this legendary sacred place

Xu smiled and said, "Yu Linghe, you need not be so polite. If you are fortunate enough to receive divine grace and become a Star Dweller, then we will be peers and there is no need to be constrained by our ages." He slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Ah, as one grows older, one tends to talk more. Come, come, we must focus on the important matters at hand; let us begin."

Yu Ziyuan led the way, stopping only when she arrived before the temple

With her hands clasped together, she softly murmured outside the temple, her delicate voice seemingly possessing an indescribable magic that refreshed the spirit of those who listened

Only those favored by the gods, who are able to absorb the power of the stars into their bodies, can enter the Hall of the Gods

Inside the temple, there was a profound silence; anyone who stepped within would be enveloped by the solemn atmosphere and would not dare to speak loudly. Moreover, what astonished Ling He even more was that upon entering this place, he found that his body seemed to become lighter, a sense of inexplicable joy filling his being

Yu Linghe quickly clasped his hands together and earnestly vowed to be obedient

Yu Ziyuan shot him a glare filled with annoyance, her rare and charmingly delicate demeanor causing Yu Linghe to stare in astonishment. In a fit of anger, Yu Ziyuan reached out and flicked his forehead hard, saying: "You little rascal, do you understand everything your sister has said to you?"

Hmm. Yu Ziyuan let out a light snort from her nose, threateningly saying: "However, you must listen to Brother Shen's instructions and must not provoke trouble everywhere. If you cannot do this, I will leave you here and never take you out again"

The next morning, Yu Ziyuan immediately took her younger brother out of the house and headed towards the City of Dawn

Yuling He shook her head and said, "Sister, these matters will become clear upon reflection; is there really a need for someone to teach us?"

Although Linghe was filled with confidence due to the continuous blessings from the divine, he never imagined that he could achieve such miraculous feats in one leap

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Yu Linghe's face as she said, "Sister, does this mean we will be separated for at most only one year?"

The place where they reside is not some desolate wilderness, but rather on the outskirts of the city, in an area that is highly developed, almost adjacent to the city walls. Therefore, they arrived in the city in just one hour.

Looking at his seemingly contemplative expression, Yu Ziyuan asked suspiciously, "Do you really understand?"

With a light sigh, Yu Ziyuan said, "Little brother, I know that it is basically impossible to have a ready-made diagram, but you have received divine grace after just one day of cultivation, and within less than a month, you have even achieved the manifestation of divine grace." A hint of a bitter smile appeared on her face as she continued, "When participating in the divine grace trial for the first time, it often triggers the greatest extent of divine grace support. At this moment, even I cannot be certain whether you will create another miracle."

In the distance, a tall middle-aged man stands at the main entrance with his hands clasped behind his back, smiling quietly as he waits.

Yu Linghe quickly replied: "Thank you very much for your praise, I am truly honored but feel unworthy."

Xu chuckled and said, "The city lord has already issued an order that regardless of when you siblings arrive, the temple must immediately conduct a divine grace test for you." His gaze fell upon Yu Linghe, and after a moment, he continued, "I have heard that your younger brother has shown some improvement after taking the Star Essence Pill and has completed the Star Power Condensation. " He nodded slightly and said, "In just over half a month, he has progressed from having nothing to achieving Star Power Condensation; this talent is truly remarkable. Haha, Ziyuan, your younger brother is not inferior to you."

Yu Ziyuan was left speechless; this younger brother was someone she had watched grow up since childhood, and she had even raised him herself. His character and abilities were naturally clear to her. However, his performance now was so remarkable that it left Yu Ziyuan feeling utterly at a loss.

If Yu Linghe were to know that it was for this reason that his sister inexplicably threw a tantrum, he would surely stamp his feet and pound his chest, humbly admit his mistake, and thereafter keep all matters to himself.

Almost everyone in the Hall of Gods hears about it repeatedly from birth, yet very few are truly qualified to enter it

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and turned to clear the passage.

However, this is already his limit. As for the divine grace manifestation mentioned by Yu Ziyuan, it is a miracle that can only be born when the power of divine grace reaches its peak and the star power itself also reaches its peak, allowing these two to merge. It is said that only after gaining the divine grace and opening one's eyes can one possess such formidable superpowers.

With a slight change in her complexion, Zi Yuan let out a soft sigh and said, "Little brother, you are still young and do not understand certain things. However, I promise you that as long as you can endure for a year, I will take you to the mainland to see a brand new world."

Yu Ziyuan performed a bow and said: "Thank you, layman. hetushu.com.com"

Yu Linghe suddenly realized and said: "So that's how it is. I heard that the term of the city lord is coming to an end and she will be returning to the mainland. Well, since she is not taking care of me at the moment, I must act with discretion."

As Linghe followed his sister into the temple, his eyes faintly glimmered, curiously surveying the surroundings

Yuling He, in pain, clutched his head and nodded repeatedly. At this moment, regardless of whether he heard it or not, it was better to admit it first.

With a quick turn of her eyes, Linghe suddenly said: "Sister, when I go to participate in the entrance assessment, I give it my all, fearing that the divine grace I receive is insufficient. Why do you still want me to conceal and hide?"

However, he did not see that after leaving the room, Yu Ziyuan's expression changed, her lips slightly curling up as she softly said: "A little person dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me. Hmph, if I don't teach you a lesson, you will really turn the world upside down in front of your sister in the future"

With a light hum, she continued to Zi Yuan: "Sister has participated in the rank assessments several times and has gained considerable experience. The first assessment is the most important, as the amount of divine grace obtained is of great significance. However, based on your performance, I truly cannot say to what extent you will be able to demonstrate your abilities"

Everyone on the island refers to it as a temple, which is said to possess infinite wonders. In terms of history, the temple is even older than this city.

After a moment of restraint, Yu Ziyuan sighed and said, "Since you are so eager to know, I will no longer conceal it. If your divine grace and talent were to be discovered on the mainland, it would indeed be a tremendous blessing. However, here, that may not necessarily be the case." Her expression was extremely serious as she continued, "The four great families on the island control everything; if you were to fully display your power, how could they possibly let you go?"

The tallest building in the City of Dawn is not the Lord's Mansion, but rather the Temple of the Gods, which resembles a towering spire

It is as if every cell in his body is rejoicing, celebrating the arrival at this mysterious place

With a slight lift at the corner of his eye, Yu Linghe pondered for a moment and said: "I understand now, thank you, sister"

What is this? Overthinking has led to mistakes.

Indeed. Yu Linghe raised his head and looked directly into his sister's eyes, saying: "There are four major families controlling everything here, so when they see a genius from outside, they will undoubtedly resort to any means to recruit him. If I agree to one of them, the other three will definitely not let me off easily. If I refuse all of them, I will incur the wrath of the masses, and there will be no good outcome for me." He lightly clenched his fist and continued: "On that day, two rascals in the city came to trouble me, demanding the Star Essence Pill. If I agree to one of them, the other three will definitely not let me off easily. If I refuse all of them, I will incur the wrath of the masses, and there will be no good outcome for me." He lightly clenched his fist again and said: "On that day, two rascals in the city came to trouble me, demanding the Star Essence Pill. Hmph, this matter is clearly related to the Mao family, but Brother Shen and Uncle Fu have been trying to downplay it, which should also be out of fear of the Mao family." A hint of shrewdness that was not in line with his apparent age flashed in his eyes as he said: "With the power of the Mao family, even if I make a scene in front of the city lord, no one would believe those two rascals. If they were to retract their statements on the spot, I might even be the one to suffer the consequences."

However, Yu Ziyuan's face turned slightly red as she said, "I was fortunate; during the examination, the city lord happened to be present and took great care of me, which is why the four great families did not dare to act rashly."

... ...

Watching the swift and decisive figure of Yu Ziyuan turn and leave, Yu Linghe found himself utterly perplexed.

If the recruitment fails, it must be a setup. As for Yu Ziyuan, she is not only unscathed but is also living quite well, which naturally makes Yu Linghe feel quite envious and also has the intention of wanting to learn from her
