The great teacher groups from the Nine Greats immediately went into their formations when they saw the Daybreak Starlord’s group, as if they were facing formidable enemies.
“Everyone, calm down!”
Sun Mo quickly stood between the two factions to prevent a great battle from erupting. “Our enemy is someone else!”
“Sun Mo, move aside! These people killed a lot of our school’s teachers and students! I have to settle this score with them!”
A vice-leader of one school bellowed furiously as if he wanted to eat these people.
“Can everyone listen to me for a moment?”
Sun Mo kept his explanation brief, primarily focusing on saying that saints were food prepared for God.
Everyone was stunned by this piece of news and momentarily lost their ability to think.
“Then where is this place?”
Someone asked.
“God’s ‘nest’!”
Sun Mo’s words caused everyone to immediately tense up, and they subconsciously became wary of their surroundings.
An Xinhui shrank in a corner, not saying a word.
Sun Mo threw a glance at her, wanting to console her, but didn’t know what to say.
Amidst this silence, Bai Xiqing made a move. She was the renowned Moonshadow Starlord, so her movement caused others to immediately go on their guards.
“Don’t panic! I’m only going to meet my idol, have a chat with him, and ask him for a signature!”
Bai Xiqing explained as she walked over to Sun Mo’s side, “Idol, you’ve really made me see you in a different light!”
“What are your thoughts on what’s going to happen next?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Take things as they come! If we can’t fend it off, then we’ll just die!”
Bai Xiqing shrugged.
“Is anyone here?”
A great teacher shouted.
Unexpectedly, a deep and hoarse voice replied.
“Inferior aboriginals, you’ve disturbed my peaceful sleep!”
“You’re that God?”
The Daybreak Starlord was curious.
“I’m not God!”
The voice denied.
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief and didn’t feel as much pressure, the voice continued, “But to a civilization like yours, the abilities I possess are no different from God!”
“I can destroy this planet two times within three minutes!”
Everyone fell silent. Some of them didn’t believe that, while others were shocked.
“If you’re that good at boasting, then come out here and fight it out with us. What’s with the hiding?”
The teachers and students from the Westshore Military School all had a fiery temper. Hence, their 7-stars great teacher bellowed and planned on fighting it out with the owner of that voice.
“Fight? That’s rough work!”
The voice was neither enraged nor pleased. “But ‘God’ mustn’t be questioned. Since you want to ‘have a taste’, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
“Be careful!”
Everyone reminded each other, having a bad feeling about things. However, they had just said this when a beam of light appeared suddenly, hitting this 7-stars great teacher.
Ssss!
The 7-stars great teacher shattered into a ball of black smoke and dissipated in the metallic hall.
Sssss!
This scene made everyone’s heart turn cold.
“This is over, we’re really going to die this time around!”
Bai Xiqing felt troubled. She couldn’t see through the other party’s attack at all.
“The sheepdog of this generation is really not reliable. It seems that there’s a need to eliminate him. But before that, I’ll take care of these aboriginals first.”
God thought as it spoke up again.
“Although An Zaiyi is willing to submit to me, deep inside, he is still filled with resistance toward me. The fact that he found an excuse to teleport you guys over might be because he’s still having his hopes up.”
God laughed. “I can only say that he is too naive!”
“However, members of the An Clan have been loyal to their duties as sheepdogs over the years. As a reward, I, the owner, will give him the chance to resist this time around!
“An Xinhui, take a good look! No matter how these aboriginals put up a struggle, they are just a bunch of aboriginals!”
Swoosh!
Countless gazes landed on An Xinhui. Although everyone couldn’t understand some of the things this God was talking about, one thing was for sure: the An Clan was a bunch of traitors.
An Xinhui’s head sank even lower.
“Everyone, this matter was done by An Zaiyi! It has nothing to do with An Xinhui!”
Sun Mo helped to speak up for her.
His words carried a lot of weight. In addition, the Starlords who knew the inside story gave him face and didn’t rebut his words. Therefore, everyone believed An Xinhui for now.
An Xinhui gave Sun Mo a grateful smile.
“If you guys want to come face-to-face with me to talk to me or kill me, you must pass three stages. If you feel that you’re capable enough, then come!”
After God was done speaking, the central part in this metallic hall opened up and a huge cube rose from the bottom.
This cube was formed from countless smaller cubes, looking like a Rubik’s Cube,
Swoosh!
The metallic ceiling suddenly became translucent, but it was then filled by the Milky Way and stars. The other great teachers hadn’t seen this thing before, but Sun Mo knew that this should be the scene of a certain galaxy.
“What is this?”
“The images on that cube seem to be messed up. Are we supposed to piece it together based on the image on the ceiling?”
“What rubbish. How can we piece such a big image together?”
Everyone talked amongst themselves.
It wasn’t just big; even some of the patterns on the cubes looked exactly the same. How would they know how to pick between them?
“Aboriginals, this stage is purely a test on your intellect. Piece this Galactic Rubik’s Cube together based on the galactic image on the ceiling and you’ll pass.”
God introduced.
This was the most complex intellectual-type game from the country God had come from. It tested one’s memory, observation, and mental calculation capabilities.
It was like how, for the modern day’s Rubik’s Cube, many ordinary people wouldn’t be able to solve it without knowing the necessary technique to do so.
Everyone felt troubled. Just the thought of doing this made them feel helpless. At this moment…
Swoosh!
The image on the ceiling suddenly turned black, like a television that had been switched off.
“Huh? We aren’t even allowed to look at it anymore?”
Someone asked in surprise.
“That’s right. This galactic image will only be displayed for a minute each time. You can only have yourselves to blame for not being able to remember it!”
God laughed.
“You seem to have forgotten that we’re all great teachers. Most of us have Retentive Memory!”
Mei Yazhi let out a cold snot.
“It’s regretful, but the great teacher halos’ abilities are what I have given you. Therefore, I can take them away from you too!”
God made another brutal announcement. “In this place, you guys can only rely on your own intelligence to clear the stages!”
“Really arrogant!”
A short-haired great teacher from the Skyraise Academy couldn’t stand the words said by this ‘God’ and walked straight to the cube, wanting to solve it.
“Just stand in that circular area and stare at the piece you wish to move and it’ll move.”
God was bored too. Since a group of aboriginals had come to become its toys, then it’d just carry out a pre-meal entertainment activity.
The short-haired great teacher did as he was told and soon got the hang of things. He started from one corner of the cube and started to solve it. However, five minutes later, his speed slowed down.
It was because once a piece moved, some other parts would move too. As a result, they’d need to pay more attention to the bigger picture and not just focus on the small picture before them.
Ten minutes later, the short-haired great teacher became so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“How is it?”
God asked.
“I… I admit my loss!”
The short-haired great teacher sighed.
As a great teacher, they should have the courage to admit it when they were unable to accomplish something. However, he didn’t expect to shatter like a broken porcelain item after he had just finished his sentence.
Swoosh!
Everyone’s expression tensed up and they went on full defense!
“Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Once you fail to clear the stage, you’ll be ‘eaten’ by me on the spot.”
God laughed.
“F*ck your mom!”
The Daybreak Starlord cursed.
Most people’s faces revealed troubled expressions. The ‘Galactic Rubik’s Cube’ was a hard stage to clear to begin with, yet they would be immediately eaten up after failing it? Who’d dare to try to clear the stage then?
“Oh, right, to prevent there from being no one playing the game, every 12 hours, going by the Nine Provinces’ time, I’ll randomly pick someone to devour.”
God added.
“Why don’t you go die!”
A great teacher with a fiery temper cursed.
Pa!
He had just finished his words when he shattered as well.
“Speaking vulgar words will cause you to be wiped out!”
God displayed its great power with great ease, and these people were unable to put up any resistance at all.
Photos of everyone present appeared on the ground. There were a total of 302 people here.
“Sect Lord, what should we do?”
Some people felt despair and looked toward Sun Mo.
Sun Mo kept quiet.
“Wait to die!”
“That’s right, this thing is too difficult!”
“It’s probably impossible to clear this stage. That God is just trying to find an excuse to kill us!”
Everyone started making noise.
“Eldest Martial Sister!”
Lu Zhiruo looked toward Li Ziqi and then at Tantai Yutang. In her heart, the two of them were the smartest.
“I can’t do it! It’s impossible for the human brain to calculate the end result. If we have brought the spirit rune brain that Teacher invented here, we might be able to find the pattern and technique to do it.”
Tantai Yutang shook his head.
However, Li Ziqi took out paper and brush, sat down, and started scribbling away, occasionally looking toward that Galactic Rubik’s Cube.
Seeing this, some great teachers immediately gave up on complaining and started to think of a way to solve it.
Five minutes later.
“Aboriginals, is anyone willing to give it a try?”
God’s voice rang out once again.
Everyone fell silent.
God didn’t ask a second time but started to draw lots. Someone’s photo lit up and then it switched to another, just like the slot machines in game arcades.
“Hold on!”
Sun Mo panicked.
“Once the draw starts, there’s no stopping it. Please pick out a participant earlier next time!”
God informed them.
This God had a horrible sense of humor; it even started to play music. The drawing process was a tormenting 30 seconds.
When everyone saw their picture light up, their heartbeat would become faster. It was the same for Sun Mo.
It was because the person who was picked would die.
In the end, the light stopped on the picture of a female great teacher.
“Congratulations for becoming my meal!”
God teased.
“I… I don’t want to die!”
Pa!
The female great teacher had just said this when her body shattered and disappeared.
Everyone’s expression was different. Some were thankful for having escaped the death ordeal, and some also grieved for the female great teacher as someone in a similar plight. However, they all felt very regretful for coming to this ancient divine hall. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have gotten themselves in this situation.
“What… What should we do for the next round?”
A girl from the Jixia Academy asked.
“I’ll go!”
Seeing the students from her school feeling so horrified and anxious, Mei Yazhi smiled and gave a gentle and responsible reply.
“Mother!”
Mei Ziyu was given a fright.
“Someone has to stand out.”
Mei Yazhi’s expression was calm. “Let’s not waste time and try hard to think of a way to solve this!”
Li Ziqi sat there. After seeing that she wasn’t picked, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued with her calculations. (This is good, we’ve gained another 12 hours.)
(I must win! Not for myself but for Teacher and my junior martial siblings! In such a dangerous situation, I must assume responsibility as the Eldest Martial Sister!)
