Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 678 - 657: Senior

The appearance of Crystal Sky Dust resembles a human, except that the joints and some parts of the body are inlaid with gemstones of various colors.

This was his second plane transaction and the first time he acted against an Elementary Civilization, which felt incredibly novel. With interest piqued, he began to express the tolerance, hypocrisy, and unmistakable superiority of a High-Level Civilization being.

"You know, I actually didn’t want to make a move, it was just self-defense, and I accidentally..."

"Of course, that’s not important. What matters is that I am a Plane Merchant."

"Since I was young, I have always remembered the teachings of my great-grandfather, a respected Void God. He said that as plane merchants, seeking business opportunities and reaping profits is the noblest mission..."

"Naturally, as a member of a High-Level Civilization, I received standard moral education from a young age. I won’t excessively force you..."

"However, since you attacked me first, I had to use my privileges a little."

"I am a moral and polite high-level being and will not deprive you of your rightful position as the True King. However, I hope we can engage in a transaction, if possible, allow me to replace the ultimate True King and receive the blessing of the Divine Spirit..."

"Although it’s not guaranteed to succeed, if it does, I will offer generous rewards..."

"Afterwards, I hope you all will engage in a transaction with me. You provide specialties, knowledge, cultivation techniques, information, and everything from your world, and I will give you some advanced treasures for cultivation..."

Crystal Sky Dust rambled on about a lot, with the sole purpose of making money.

The strongest of the Alien Giants, Broad Peak Dao, said: "As far as I know, you are bound by the rules of a High-Level Civilization, aren’t you?"

Crystal Sky Dust, with a translator tool, nodded and said, "You’re very smart, but sorry, since you attacked me first, some constraints are void."

"We can refuse the transaction."

"I can kill you all as punishment for offending me," Crystal Sky Dust said with a smile.

"It will cost you greatly."

"That’s a concern for many years later. The True King Star is located in an Unknown Celestial Region where it’s nearly impossible to send messages out." Crystal Sky Dust was indifferent.

"Aren’t you afraid of the curse of the Divine Spirit?"

"I have ways to avoid it. Oh, by the way, I heard you already have a Giant Dragon True King and Giant True King? Come out, let’s have a chat."

Crystal Sky Dust smiled as he scanned the dragon and giant lying on the ground.

At this moment, a standard Divine Text voice came from not far away.

"Crystal Sky Dust, did you get full marks on your Divine Text exam?"

Hearing the words "Divine Text exam," the muscles of Crystal Sky Dust instinctively tensed, recalling a nightmarish experience.

He looked in the direction of the voice.

Zhou Leng walked forward, continuing to ask, "I’m from level 41, and I got full marks in all the Divine Text simulated exams up to level 40, how about you?"

Crystal Sky Dust was taken aback for a moment, quickly assessing Zhou Leng, noticing the starry sky bag on his waist, traces of stellar true energy, a strong physique, and... absolutely no trace of a High-Level Civilization’s aura.

His heart tightened.

Another stowaway from a High-Level Civilization.

Moreover... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Crystal Sky Dust hesitated for a few seconds, quickly adjusting his mindset and smiled, "Hello senior, I’m from level 40, currently on a study tour, so my family allowed me to participate in plane trading..."

Crystal Sky Dust’s voice abruptly stopped when he saw the object in the other’s hand, something that required courtesy from both him and his family.

A Civilization Medal, shining like a star.

Playing with it in hand.

After perfectly completing all the Celestial Tier Trials, Zhou Leng received a bit of civilization merit.

Countless thoughts flashed through Crystal Sky Dust’s mind.

Standard Divine Text heritage, full marks in exams, Grandmaster-level Stellar True Energy cultivator, recipient of civilization merit, starry sky bag, absolute self-confidence...

Soon, he deduced the most likely identity of the other person.

A scion of a True God family, a divine descent seed.

Only particularly powerful True God families, perhaps even star royal families, have the power to send descendants into an Elementary Civilization, secretly support them, and ultimately let them lead the entire Elementary Civilization on the Path to Divinity.

Even if the attempt fails, they could still return to the family to rule over the stars, living as a wealthy aristocrat.

This is something the Crystal Sky family cannot achieve because it requires too many resources.

He had seen a few such divine descent seeds, who even if they failed to ascend to True God, were still overlords among Void Gods.

The power of civilization chains is too strong, and without High-Level Civilization bloodline, it is impossible to speak such fluent Divine Text.

Not to mention the abundance of evidence.

"Crystal Sky Dust greets the senior, may I ask your honorable name?" he said with a composed smile.

"Wanbang Winter’s End·Circulation of Extreme Cold Zhou."

Hearing this name, Crystal Sky Dust grew even more nervous.

Using this name signified that this bloodline controlled at least one "Deep Core Field," which is almost the entire cosmic scope that an Elementary Civilization can observe.

The Crystal Sky family is not considered weak, but it is merely a multi-star system family, far from being a galactic family, not to mention separated by an unknown number of orders of kingdoms.

"I came here to complete an important trade, not to lay claim," said Crystal Sky Dust, choosing his words carefully, first indicating that he wasn’t isolated, then stating his position.

Zhou Leng asked, "What’s your average score on the last ten simulated exams in Divine Text?"

Crystal Sky Dust, knowing it was not an exam for solely his grade but a large simulated exam, didn’t want to lose face, so he replied, "It’s always around 85 points, never breaking 90 points."

He exaggerated by 5 points.

Zhou Leng said, "Then you’re not bad. I’ve always stayed above 90 points. It seems you must complete all 50 years of content to pass with perfect scores."

Hearing the other person’s familiarity with the educational system of High-Level Civilizations and understanding the importance of passing with perfect scores, Crystal Sky Dust said, "It’s evident, senior, that you’ve put considerable effort into Divine Text. Without a doubt, you’ll shine brightly in a Celestial Region in the future."

"Why haven’t you cultivated Starry Sky True Qi?" Zhou Leng asked.

Crystal Sky Dust blushed and replied, "My talent is somewhat lacking. I failed my family trial and did not qualify for the Starry Sky True Qi Cultivation Method."

In fact, his small family didn’t have enough resources to train him early in the Starry Sky True Qi Cultivation Technique. He could only train step by step, and while becoming a Demigod was simple, the opportunity to become a Void God was very slim.

"What is your family’s business scope?" Zhou Leng proactively asked, avoiding Crystal Sky Dust discovering his façade as part of a High-Level Civilization.

Being a Plane Merchant, Crystal Sky Dust was most reluctant to provoke major forces and dared not doubt anything, honestly explaining.

Zhou Leng talked about some events recorded in Divine Text fragments, making Crystal Sky Dust hold unwavering belief, as some events were too ancient even for him.

While chatting, Winter of Death, who had been hiding behind his parents, stepped out and said, "Dad, Mom, am I awesome for finding such an amazing Divine Text teacher?"

"Shut up, don’t force me to slap you in front of everyone," Death Frost’s dragon wing flapped, stirring slight dust.

Winter of Death quickly ran to his father’s side, away from his mother.

Li Shenkong watched Zhou Leng talk confidently with the Alien Star People, feeling a faint ripple within himself.

From childhood, he had been the center of attention, whether in talent or family background, across Blue Star and even the Ten Realms, he was top-notch.

Even an Otherworld Demigod’s offspring would treat him with equality.

From a young age, he was hailed as the Human Race’s top genius, not just by individuals but even by Martial Saints and Zhao Dongjun.

He gradually accepted the title of Human Race’s top genius but always kept his original intent.

He never involved himself in various chaotic matters, focusing solely on emulating Zhao Dongjun, aspiring to become a Martial Saint, to turn the tide, stabilize the deteriorating structure, and win the final Ten Realms war.

Until he met Zhou Leng.

The Divine Sword’s gentle hum only left him helpless.

One person single-handedly battling sixteen Grandmasters made him feel the rise of a new star not inferior to himself.

Today, witnessing a similarly young Alien Star Person single-handedly overpowering two Alien races, treating Divine Spirits as nothing, caused a massive shock to his worldview.

He felt unprecedented helplessness.

It’s not just him being powerless, not just Blue Star being powerless, even the geniuses of the Ten Realms and the two major alien stars were rendered powerless in the face of this young man.

He felt the difference between Elementary Civilization and High-Level Civilization for the first time.

Overhearing the dialogue between Alien Giants and Alien Dragons, he speculated that this young man wasn’t even a powerful warrior, just a slightly more outstanding merchant.

Then, just as this Alien Star Person swept through the two races and intimidated the stars, Zhou Leng appeared.

Li Shenkong couldn’t understand what the two were saying, but it was clear that the Alien Star Person’s attitude shifted dramatically, from arrogance to humility, with Zhou Leng in complete control.

On Blue Star, he was the first amongst the younger generation.

In the universe, it was Zhou Leng.

Li Shenkong silently watched as the two conversed and laughed.

From the Ten Realms Giants, Mountain River Celestial Peak whispered, "Little Li, you must strive hard."

"Hmm! I’m determined to win this man’s favor!" Golden Li clenched her big fist.

Eye of Hell and Glittering Gold King lay on the ground, glanced at each other, whispering.

"Zhou Leng is of greater value than imagined..."

"If necessary, let Red Eyes take action directly. It’s already spreading throughout Dragon Mountain that Zhou Leng likes her..."

"You know too? I thought I was the only one who knew, not sure which big mouth spread it. I think it’s feasible. Either let the queen transform into a human, it’s only a spell’s matter, or let him grow larger, it’s also a spell’s matter..."

"They can take turns..."

"His and the queen’s descendants are Dragon-men, Dragon-men and Dragon’s descendants are Dragons. You see, his offspring will still become Dragons! He is our Dragon Race’s greatest hope in defeating the Giants!"

"I think his descendants should carry the surname of Death, true Divine Bloodline..."

The two dragons began discussing Zhou Leng and Red Eyes’ lineage...

Not far off, the heavily injured Spine-headed Demon Dragon Deep Dark Fury watched Zhou Leng and Crystal Sky Dust, sighing secretly.

He initially thought his Starry Sky Bloodline was enough to ascend to the top of the Ten Realms.

He ended up heavily injured by a whip from the Alien Star People.

Instead, Zhou Leng regained the face for the two races of the Ten Realms.

He then looked towards the Alien Giant Dragon.
