Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Lin Moyu steadied himself, returning to his usual calm and indifferent demeanor.

Gu Qingxuan was waiting outside the door. The moment she saw him emerge, she asked eagerly, ”How did it go? Were you able to bring out your talents?”

Although Old Luo had already given her the answer, she still wanted to hear it directly from Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu nodded, ”I was.”

He had indeed brought out his talent. It simply hadn’t happened just now, and he hadn’t brought out only one.

A graceful smile spread across Gu Qingxuan’s face, ”Good. Now let’s head to the final assessment.”

”Remember what I told you. Go all out and do your best to earn the highest evaluation possible.”

”If you want to enter God City in the future, this assessment is extremely important.”

God City accepted only true geniuses. Anyone who fell even slightly short would be turned away.

Moreover, the better Lin Moyu performed, the greater the rewards Gu Qingxuan would receive as his guide.

To ensure he received the best possible baptism from the greater world’s laws, she had even invested 100 points.

If his performance was disappointing, that investment would be wasted.

Lin Moyu took her words to heart.

God City was a place he absolutely had to enter.

Along the way, Gu Qingxuan had mentioned it numerous times. It was the destination every human cultivator dreamed of reaching.

Gu Qingxuan herself longed to enter God City and was working tirelessly toward that goal.

She led Lin Moyu toward the site of the final assessment.

Before long, voices drifted over from ahead.

A crowd had gathered at the site.

Since entering the War God Temple, the atmosphere had been quiet and deserted. Only this place was fairly lively.

Lin Moyu recognized many of the faces. They were the same people who had been waiting outside the registration office—newcomers like himself, accompanied by their respective guides.

His arrival immediately attracted numerous glances.

Earlier, in front of the War God Temple, everyone had witnessed him staring directly at the five massive characters.

Several people looked at him with undisguised jealousy and defiance.

They had all come from small worlds. Why could Lin Moyu withstand the pressure of those five characters while they could not? Did that mean they were inferior?

Every one of them had reached the Transcendent God realm before emerging. Each had once been the greatest genius of their respective small worlds and carried immense pride.

Ignoring the stares, Lin Moyu walked to the back of the line and waited quietly.

The assessment took place inside a sealed chamber, making it impossible for people outside to observe the things happening inside.

Only after the assessment concluded would the final evaluation be announced.

As for the process itself, it remained strictly confidential.

It was said that, aside from the War God Xiao Zhantian himself, no one could peer into the chamber, ensuring the assessment takers’ privacy.

Gu Qingxuan pointed toward a crystal beside the assessment chamber, ”See that Star Crystal?”

”Once the assessment is complete, it’ll light up to display the result.”

”White means poor, green means good, red means excellent, and gold means ultimate.”

An excellent evaluation was the minimum requirement for anyone hoping to enter God City. To guarantee admission, however, one needed an ultimate evaluation.

Lin Moyu suddenly became curious, ”Have you taken the assessment?”

Gu Qingxuan answered honestly, ”I have. My result was ultimate.”

As a disciple of God Sovereign Night Breeze, her aptitude was unquestionably among the best.

Achieving an ultimate evaluation was only natural.

Yet even someone like Gu Qingxuan had still been unable to enter God City, which spoke volumes about how difficult it was to gain admission.

Just then, the Star Crystal lit up.

A red glow spread across its surface, though the light was somewhat dim.

Gu Qingxuan explained, ”Even within the same grade, there’s a difference in quality. The brighter and richer the glow, the higher the evaluation within that grade.”

”Someone like him can only be considered low-tier excellent, the absolute bottom of the barrel.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than a cold voice sounded, ”Even if it’s the bottom of the barrel, it’s still an excellent evaluation. I wonder what kind of evaluation the person you brought will receive.”

They turned toward the speaker.

A man was glaring at Gu Qingxuan with open hostility.

Her remark had clearly offended him. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

His expression suggested he intended to settle the matter through competition.

Gu Qingxuan remained composed, ”We’ll find out soon enough.”

His expression suggested he intended to settle the matter through competition.

Gu Qingxuan remained composed,”We’ll find out soon enough.”

The man let out a sneer, ”I remember you. We accepted the God City mission together back then. That makes us rivals.”

Gu Qingxuan thought for a moment before shaking her head, ”I don’t remember you.”

Her extraordinary beauty made her unforgettable wherever she went.

The man, on the other hand, possessed an aura every bit as powerful as hers, yet his appearance was so ordinary that he blended effortlessly into any crowd.

His expression stiffened, and he raised his voice, ”You’ll remember me. My name is Sheng Gaoxuan. One day, my name will resound throughout God City.”

His words overflowed with absolute confidence.

Lin Moyu nodded inwardly.

The man might be arrogant, but his confidence was undeniable.

Confidence was the cornerstone of becoming a true powerhouse.

Without unwavering conviction, an indomitable will, and relentless perseverance, one could not reach the pinnacle of strength.

Gu Qingxuan simply smiled and said nothing more.

There was no point arguing with others.

Actions always spoke louder than words.

In that respect, she was remarkably similar to Lin Moyu.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, each understanding exactly what the other was thinking.

At that moment, the door to the assessment room opened, and someone stepped out.

His aura was noticeably weakened, while the law surrounding him still churned violently, not yet settled.

Combat was the truest measure of strength.

That principle held true everywhere.

After he emerged, another examinee stepped forward and placed a hand on the Star Crystal.

The Star Crystal glowed faintly, projecting a single number: ninety-eight.

The door opened, and he walked inside.

Gu Qingxuan explained, ”That’s his age. Age is also part of the assessment. Generally speaking, among people of equal strength, the younger examinee receives the higher evaluation.”

Lin Moyu understood.

Among True Gods, a younger cultivator usually possessed greater talent and potential.

It wasn’t an absolute rule, but it was true in the vast majority of cases.

A Transcendent God’s lifespan began at five hundred years, increasing by another century with each advancement in tier.

At only ninety-eight years old, this examinee was exceptionally young.

Lin Moyu noticed the surprise in the surrounding spectators’ eyes.

They clearly hadn’t expected someone so young.

”Not even a hundred years old. Excellent, truly excellent.”

The examinee’s guide couldn’t hide his satisfaction.

Gu Qingxuan said in a quiet voice, ”He really is quite young. Even in the greater world, reaching the Transcendent God realm before turning a hundred is considered above average.”

Lin Moyu asked, ”At what age do people in the greater world usually reach the Transcendent God realm?”

Gu Qingxuan thought for a moment before answering, ”It’s difficult to say. The gap between individuals is enormous. Reaching the Transcendent God realm before a hundred is pretty good. Before eighty, you’re regarded as a genius.”

”They say some of God City’s true prodigies reach the Transcendent God realm before they even turn fifty.”

Lin Moyu recalled his own small world.

During its darkest crisis, the world force had awakened, allowing ordinary people to reach God-level in only a few years.

However, that method was little more than forcing growth by pulling up seedlings before they had taken root.

It permanently damaged their future potential.

People of the greater world naturally would never cultivate that way.

Therefore, reaching the Transcendent God realm before the age of fifty was truly extraordinary.

Gu Qingxuan didn’t bother asking Lin Moyu’s age.

They would know soon enough, so there was no need.

Three hours later, the Star Crystal lit up once more.

A brilliant red radiance flooded the surroundings.

It was another excellent evaluation, but the red light shone far more intensely than the previous examinee’s.

”Excellent, upper-tier!” The guide exclaimed excitedly, pride evident on his face.

Guiding someone with an excellent evaluation came with substantial rewards.

Although they belonged to the excellent grade, there were still clear differences among them.

The human race could easily have divided the ranking into even finer categories, but they deliberately chose not to.

Lin Moyu could roughly guess the reason.

The assessment represented only a snapshot of one’s potential.

No one could predict what the future held.

If the rankings became too granular, people might stop striving altogether, believing that talent alone determined everything.

But talent was only one part of the equation.

In real combat, victory depended on far more than talent. Experience, mastery of techniques, adaptability, and overall combat prowess all played equally crucial roles.
