"The first test: Soul power reaches level fifty, and you obtain the fifth spirit ring. Reward: the age of your spirit rings increases by one thousand years."

A soft female voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's consciousness.

Is this really a divine test?

Huo Yuhao appeared stunned.

Red-level Eight Tests? What level is that?

And, is the divine test really this simple? Is reaching level fifty in soul power enough?

There were no secretive instructions in the hint, so Huo Yuhao shared the information with Su Yu.

"Red-level Eight Tests? That should be the highest test level, second only to the inheritance of a true god. As for the reward for your first test, the age of all spirit rings increasing by a thousand years... that's not bad."

Su Yu felt that Huo Yuhao's first test had an implied message: your level isn't high enough, so you need to level up first.

*Divine Realm.*

"Little Purple, if I pass the divine position to him, who will inherit your divine position?"

The God of Life seemed puzzled.

After leaving Sea God's domain, her partner had helped her find this young person whose soul matched perfectly with her divine position.

However, they had originally agreed to pass on their divine positions together, then leave the Divine Realm.

"This Huo Yuhao has decent talent, and there's potential for him to develop towards destruction. But it's mostly a shift in his mindset. His martial soul probably isn't suitable for your divine position, is it?"

In response to the God of Life's question, the God of Destruction didn't answer directly. Instead, a cryptic smile appeared on his face.

Su Yu didn't express the underlying meaning.

It was true that a soul power of forty was a bit low for the divine test, and maybe this test really was what he had imagined.

But there was no need to say anything that would discourage Huo Yuhao.

After all, Huo Yuhao was just a year younger than Su Yu and had three times the innate soul power. Su Yu could understand that.

At fifteen years old, being a Soul Grandmaster with an extreme martial soul was already impressive.

Su Yu descended from the sky, stepping onto the inheritance platform. He released his spiritual power and began receiving the inheritance from the God of Life.

A green mark appeared on his forehead.

This mark resonated with the blade of life within him, drawing intricate, mysterious patterns.

The green faded, and the mark shifted from white to yellow, purple, black, and red.

"Life God's Test, Red-level Eight Tests!"

"???"

Su Yu didn't have time to absorb the content of the first test. His eyes opened wide in confusion, his face one of disbelief.

What's going on? Are they messing with me? They guided me here to take the divine test, and now they're not even giving me the divine inheritance?

The God of Life?

Wait, that's not right.

Su Yu felt that the God of Life in his memory didn't seem like this.

*Divine Realm.*

"Little Green, what are you doing?!"

The God of Life furrowed her brow, glaring at the God of Destruction.

"Hehe, Little Green, don't you think this little guy's talent is more suited for your divine position?" The God of Destruction spoke, though he sounded slightly guilty. Although this was his wife's inheritance domain and he was unlikely to be reported, something felt off.

"Hm?"

Upon hearing the God of Destruction's words, the God of Life's expression changed slightly.

Honestly, Su Yu was very well-suited for her divine position. His life attributes matched her divine position with at least ninety percent compatibility.

But truthfully, Su Yu's core talent didn't seem to be related to her divine position.

"Su Yu's greatest talent is his wisdom. Wisdom, huh? That's quite a significant power, and one of the few authorities in the Divine Realm that's not completely solidified. Moreover, the rules of wisdom on Douluo Continent need his appearance to be perfected."

The God of Destruction spoke confidently, but the God of Life still felt he was more concerned about going against the Sea God.

After Tang San ascended to Sea God and arrived in the Divine Realm, he and the God of Destruction never got along. Their debates often centered on whether to expand the Divine Realm.

"Little Green, you need to understand that the development of the Divine Realm doesn't rely on the inheritance of past gods, but on the formation of new divine positions!"

After the divine inheritance, the retired gods may explore the outside world or travel, but their contributions to the core development of the Divine Realm are limited.

On the other hand, the creation of new divine positions improves the rules of the Divine Realm and the rules of the lower realms that the Divine Realm governs. This is the true path to accumulating power faster.

Since the first generation of Sea Gods, the Divine Realm hasn't expanded in over thirty years.

"But didn't the Sea God say—"

"Humph, what about sensing a crisis? That's nonsense. If there's a crisis, the right approach is to fully develop and expand the Divine Realm, creating new divine positions to better deal with the crisis!"

The God of Destruction's prejudice toward the Sea God was anything but small. All the frustration that had been building up for so long was now fully vented.

His wife had been completely deceived by that guy, always thinking he was a good person who acted for the sake of the Divine Realm.

But he was nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing!

On the surface, he feigned kindness, while secretly plotting something entirely different.

The God of Life had no words in response.

Such a good inheritor, what a shame.

Now that it was already the Red-Level Eight Test, there was no way to cancel it and reassign the level, was there?

Moreover, if she had only found the inheritor herself, while Little Purple still remained the God of Destruction, wouldn't that be awkward?

Should she leave the Divine Realm or stay?

Su Yu had no idea what was going on in the Divine Realm and was still in a state of confusion.

He snapped out of it and focused on the voice echoing in his mind.

"First test: Comprehend the true meaning of life. Reward: 10,000 points of Faith Power."

Faith Power?

Su Yu didn't know what the God of Life was thinking, but he could try to understand her intentions through her test and rewards.

At this moment, Su Yu focused on one detail: Faith Power.

Was it possible that the rewards of the divine test could directly be Faith Power?

Why reward Faith Power instead of increasing the age of my spirit rings? Also, the true meaning of life?

Su Yu's mind raced as the symbols "Clear" and "Bright" gleamed within his consciousness.

What is life?

Life begins with the birth of wisdom, a collision of spirit, the essence of any being capable of independent thought.

In Su Yu's understanding, the most important aspect of life was wisdom.

Even creatures that appeared to lack intelligence had some form of wisdom or spirit, just in varying amounts.

To humans, some creatures' intelligence was so minimal it was labeled as lacking consciousness, or undeveloped.

But anything with vitality had its own spirit, and spiritual existence inherently possesses self-awareness, though this awareness might be hidden or dormant.

"First test completed. Reward: 10,000 points of Faith Power."

Su Yu felt a pure energy sealed within his spiritual sea.

However, the second test still had not arrived.

"Faith Power: The gathered thoughts of living beings form and condense into Faith Power. Pure Faith Power can increase the age of spirit rings, nurture spirit, and has countless mysterious uses."

Su Yu felt a sudden understanding about Faith Power rising from deep within him.
