After the players departed.Su Xiao glanced eastward, preparing to investigate the information about that rogue God Disciple.
Just at this moment, a seven-colored beam of light spanned across the distant void, landing not far from his side.This rainbow-colored bridge was the Reception Rainbow Bridge from Tianshu Academy.
Tianshu Academy looked after every disciple who went out for training.At regular intervals, they would use the Reception Rainbow Bridge to bring them back and provide guidance on matters concerning the establishment of a Divine Kingdom.This primarily focused on how to recruit believers, how to nurture believers, and similar aspects.Disciples who had established a Divine Kingdom were also eligible to visit the Library Pavilion to claim cultivation techniques and divine skills.
"Now that I've condensed my Divine Spark, I should make a trip back."Su Xiao mused for a moment and stepped onto the Reception Rainbow Bridge.He currently lacked divine skills and had to return to acquire some.
As Su Xiao stepped onto the Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge, it vanished.
...
Ding, Dong, Dang...
On the vast square, clouds swirled like mist, and the long, lingering chime of bells echoed.This was Tianshu Academy's Reception Square.The square was paved with huge bluestone slabs. At its center stood an enormous statue, around which divine light swirled, looking incomparably sacred.This was the statue of the first-generation god who founded Tianshu Academy.Legend had it that this ancestor was also a genius who became a failure, but later, through his own unremitting efforts, found his opportunity in some ruins. From then on, he soared to greatness, becoming a legend in Shenmu City.
Surrounding mountains rose and fell, piercing the clouds, with divine light faintly visible.Countless reception rainbows converged from all directions, stopping at the edge of the square.Figures stepped down from the Reception Rainbow Bridges one by one. Some were beaming with delight, while others were dejected and downcast.Before long, over a hundred people had gathered on the square.
Su Xiao was among them, standing inconspicuously in the middle of the crowd, waiting for the academy elders to arrive.
"How's it going? Your Southeast Sea region isn't bad, what tier of believers did you recruit?""Haha, not yet. The Southeast Sea region belongs to the Fishmen race, they're not that easy to recruit. But it should be soon. I came back this time to ask for advice on some issues.""What about you?""Me? Don't even mention it. That Worry-Free Forest place has too few types of believers, and their levels aren't high. What good stuff could there be? Just recruited some Orcs.""What's wrong with Orcs? Those are Tier 3 believers, I'm so envious!""..."
All around Su Xiao, voices of students from various academies echoed in conversation.Some were showing off, others complaining.
After condensing a Divine Spark and establishing a Divine Kingdom, one could have believers.There were two ways to gain believers. One could rely on the Divine Spark to transform a low-quality species, evolving them into another, higher-quality believer species.But this was relatively difficult; generally, only Divine Sparks of three colors or more possessed this ability.The second way was to rely on one's own abilities to recruit existing species as believers. If one was lucky, they could recruit species of decent quality.

"Look quickly, Ming Ge is here!""Ming Ge awakened a three-color Divine Spark! The place he chose this time was also the best, the Lands of the Eight Directions. There are abundant life forms there. I wonder what tier of believers Ming Ge recruited?"Amidst the discussion, someone suddenly exclaimed.
Su Xiao turned his head and saw a young man walking slowly forward, surrounded by a crowd.This person was named Zhao Ming, the only student in this cohort who had condensed a three-color Divine Spark.Crucially, this Zhao Ming had some minor past conflicts with Su Xiao.
Su Xiao had ignited his divine fire at the age of eight, shocking the academy and attracting much attention. The academy's belle, the Heavenly Pride Goddess Yan Moling, thought highly of Su Xiao.Naturally, a goddess would have many pursuers, and Zhao Ming was one of them.However, Yan Moling paid Zhao Ming no attention whatsoever, which filled Zhao Ming with intense jealousy towards Su Xiao.In the time that followed, Zhao Ming harbored resentment. Seeing Su Xiao's prolonged inability to condense a Divine Spark, he had even deliberately humiliated Su Xiao several times.
"What tier?""You don't know how fierce Ming Ge is! He directly transformed the Reptile race, evolving them into the Mermen race to become his believers.""What? Mermen? Those are Tier 4 believers! Ming Ge is too amazing!""Wow, Tier 4 Mermen! I'm so envious I could cry! In the assessment half a year later, Ming Ge will definitely be first place in our cohort!""..."
The surrounding flattery made Zhao Ming feel extremely comfortable.
Whoosh...Just then, a gentle breeze blew past.A divine light appeared in the sky, and several figures floated past through the air.The person at the forefront was shrouded in divine light, her peerless beauty barely visible.Delicate features, fair skin, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, like a goddess stepping out of a manga.Her figure was tall and curvy, dressed in white robes, appearing holy and noble.
"Senior Sister Moling!""Goddess! My goddess just passed by!""Wow, Senior Sister Moling is so beautiful!"This woman was indeed Yan Moling.Although she was just passing by and didn't stop, her appearance caused quite a stir.
"Senior Sister Moling, you will definitely be mine, Zhao Ming's."Zhao Ming clenched his fists tightly.Suddenly, he noticed Su Xiao not far away. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly into a smirk. With a thought, he prepared to go over and humiliate him.But then he considered his current self – he completely crushed Su Xiao now. They weren't even on the same level anymore. Zhao Ming instantly lost interest.What was exciting about crushing trash?
However, Zhao Ming ultimately walked towards Su Xiao anyway. He stared at Su Xiao with a mocking gaze for a moment, then stood beside him with his hands behind his back, head held high, looking into the distance."Don't you think fate is truly strange?""If it were ten years ago, Senior Sister Moling would definitely have come down to ask about you. Now she just passed by directly. Does it hurt?""Ten years ago, you were someone I looked up to. Now, you can only look up to me.""I need someone to shine my shoes. Want to consider it?""Otherwise, I don't know what you'll do when you're expelled from the academy in half a year. After all, humans are the trashiest believers; basically, no Main God wants them. If you died, how could you possibly witness the day Yan Moling and I get married?"
That's right.In this world, the trashiest believers were humans.Because compared to beings like Mermen and Fishmen, who had inherent talents and evolutionary abilities, humans truly held no advantage.
"Do you know what I hate the most? Flies buzzing around nearby. It's really annoying."Su Xiao smiled and responded.
"What? How dare you call Ming Ge a fly?""Su Xiao, you really don't know what's good for you! The current you is not the previous you. Show some respect to Ming Ge!"Beside them, Zhao Ming's sycophants immediately condemned Su Xiao.
"Respect?""I could crush him ten years ago, and I can still crush him ten years later."Su Xiao snorted lightly.
"Crush him? With what..."Suddenly, everyone saw a divine light flare up behind Su Xiao.
"Su Xiao... condensed a Divine Spark?""Heavens! Su Xiao actually condensed a Divine Spark! This...""..."
The surrounding people looked on, their faces filled with shock.
Swish!Just then, a second color appeared in the halo behind Su Xiao, followed swiftly by a third, then a fourth...It only stopped after reaching the fourth color!
Abruptly, the entire square fell deathly silent, utterly noiseless.
