The deities of China are vast and boundless like the sea!

However, Su Fu had a question she couldn’t quite understand.

She asked, “Inspector Zhou, in this test paper, even though I’m a newcomer, it seems like I didn’t feel a significant gap compared to the others?”

Yet, she still got soundly beaten by Shen Yunling.

Zhou Nanyuan remained calm: “You’re right. There really isn’t much difference between you.”

He propped his chin thoughtfully and said slowly, “That’s because you’re all too weak.”

“The difference in divine power is minimal, so when you fight, it all feels about the same.”

“How should I put it—like weaklings pecking at each other?”

Su Fu was speechless.

Jiang Qingyu was too.

His words were blunt but made sense. Su Fu realized that even top students like Shen Yunling and Jiang Qingyu were viewed by Zhou Nanyuan as mere novices.

If the full score for divine power was set at 100, then Shen Yunling and Jiang Qingyu’s power was no more than 10, and Su Fu’s was zero.

But inside the test paper, the Divine Derivation AI assigned an average divine power of 1000 to each participant, so 10 was just a fraction—far from decisive.

In other words, even the lowest-level D-grade test paper required participants to have at least 1000 divine power to handle the anomalies inside.

For the Divine Derivation AI, letting them enter the test paper was a pure loss. That’s why the Divine Academy had a duty to cultivate students; a financial consortium or noble family wouldn’t bother doing this.

Zhou Nanyuan looked at the two: “So, if your ultimate goal is to enter the Lingxiao Province Divine Academy, this is far from enough.”

He gestured in midair, and a light screen unfolded, revealing a map.

“Lingxiao Province Divine Academy oversees twelve districts. Xinghui District is just one of them—and ranks at the bottom.”

“Simply put, you’re the weakest of the weak, just weaklings pecking at each other in the test.”

Su Fu thought: …Is he really that straightforward?

“If you judge your strength based on this pecking match,” Zhou Nanyuan’s voice was calm and steady, “then forget about Lingxiao Province Divine Academy.”

Su Fu recalled her ranking in divine power—2980 out of 3000 in all of Lingxiao Province.

It sobered her instantly.

No matter how she ranked first in Xinghui Seven High School, she had no competitiveness when facing a broader selection.

The preliminary contest was just the beginning; the real selection was the Lingxiao Province Divine Academy’s assessment.

So, she absolutely had to improve her divine power quickly!

Su Fu asked another question: “Inspector Zhou, why do you say that the divine power gained from training rooms is too little?”

Even now, she knew she could gain a lot of divine power from the test paper, but she had no way to participate.

On the other hand, the training room was currently the only way she had to cultivate divine power.

Zhou Nanyuan raised an eyebrow. Knowing Su Fu’s weakness, he explained from the beginning.

He drew a glowing pattern in the void, and countless streams of golden data flowed through the air, outlining a three-dimensional star map.

“These represent the distribution of divine power,” he said, pointing at the flickering lights. “Divine power pervades the entire universe. Theoretically, everyone can cultivate it on their own.”

Su Fu’s eyes lit up.

This sounded much simpler than the test paper! Couldn’t one just find a place and lie down to cultivate?

Zhou Nanyuan’s tone shifted: “But it’s not that simple. No one can directly use this raw divine power. You need to purify the divine power compatible with your own body, like a filter.”

“For example, Jiang Qingyu’s skill is the Hecate Divine Skill, so she needs to purify Hecate divine power.”

“But the problem is, Hecate divine power can’t be found everywhere. For instance, in Xinghui District, it’s scarce. Even if you want to extract it, you can’t.”

Suddenly, Su Fu understood why holy lands were especially suitable for cultivation—they naturally contained dense divine power.

Cultivation there was naturally more effective.

“Moreover, filtering and purifying divine power takes a lot of time,” Zhou Nanyuan’s fingers traced gently in the air, mixing countless colorful divine powers.

“To turn this mixed divine power into usable pure power, it takes at least a month.”

He looked at them: “After a month of hard work, you might find the usable divine power isn’t even enough to sneeze with.”

Su Fu was speechless.

That was just too cruel.

“So,” Zhou Nanyuan summarized, “almost no one chooses to cultivate on their own because the cost-effectiveness is too low.”

“The training room is a specially modified spatial filter that can pre-select divine power corresponding to specific divine systems.”

“The higher the level of the training room, the better and more targeted the filtering.”

At this, he gave Su Fu a meaningful look: “But…”

“There are too few believers of the Huaxia divine system,” Zhou Nanyuan said bluntly, “so the training rooms at school naturally have very little Huaxia divine power.”

“That’s why I said you must rely on the test paper.”

Because there was simply no other choice.

Waving his hand, the data streams in the void became clear and transparent.

“The divine power in the test paper is different. It’s non-attribute divine power uniformly distributed by the Ministry of Education,” he explained. “Think of it as purified water refined by experts, usable by anyone without any rejection.”

Su Fu listened quietly to Zhou Nanyuan’s explanation, but a bold idea flashed through her mind.

Wait a moment…

There were two bottlenecks with self-cultivation: the distribution of divine power, and the purification filter.

Regarding the first, maybe other divine systems really couldn’t spread their divine power throughout the universe…

But the Huaxia divine system was different!

The most remarkable feature of Huaxia gods was their complex but specialized structure:

Page 3/3

There were mountain gods for mountains, water gods for water.

Heavenly gods for the sky, earthly gods for the land.

Even ghosts had ghost gods…

The Huaxia divine system was vast and innumerable!

Boundless as the sea, present everywhere!

As for the second issue—the purification filter—what if the divine power of the gods was abundant enough to rival that of a holy land?

Remember, most Huaxia gods had their own domains.

These domains were essentially small-scale holy lands.

This was Huaxia’s greatest advantage—gods were everywhere!

But the premise was that she had to summon the corresponding deity first.

So, she still had to pass the test paper first.

But that was enough. Compared to other divine systems, Huaxia’s advantage was absurdly huge.

Once she got through the tough initial development period, it would be an easy win afterward!

Truly, the Huaxia ancestors were incredible!

Moreover, Su Fu thought of an even more crucial point.

Is having many skills really no match for stronger skills?

What if the skills just happened to counter each other?

When the gap between opponents isn’t a chasm, skill counterplays are clearly the key to victory.

Besides, the test paper assigned divine power, further narrowing the gap between contestants.

Not to mention environmental buffs—deities well-matched to the environment could unleash tremendous advantages. For example, this test paper favored Tang Sanzang’s skills against demons.

She believed that well-matched skills gave those deities even greater advantages!

And this was precisely another strength of the Huaxia divine system.

How many Huaxia gods were there?

Countless divine powers and abilities!

No matter the environment or the opponent, there was always a deity that could counter them!
