197: Section 197
Those who were chosen were relatively excited, while those who weren't were naturally different.
However, many people knew that it was fortunate that many Prodigies from higher-level regions like Liyang Dynasty didn't have any intentions this time.
Otherwise, no one knew what the competition would have been like; it was highly probable that even Great Grandmasters might not have had a chance to become a Saintess Candidate.
Of course, the people chosen were connected to numerous forces.
Undoubtedly, these forces are now targets for many congratulations.
For example, the Daoist Heavenly Sect from the Qin Dynasty Era region definitely hit the jackpot!
Chapter 209: Reactions from All Sides, Choosing for Oneself
Qin Dynasty Era Region
Countless people watched this selection through the light screen, and even Qin Shi Huang was no exception.
Among the final hundred, there were also two princesses from Great Qin.
It could be said that Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but pay attention!
Of course, Great Qin accounted for a large proportion of the final hundred this time.
Especially with Heaven Human Realm level existences, there were quite a few.
These individuals still had a high chance of becoming a Saintess of the Dawn Divine Cult.
Even Qin Shi Huang had to admit that these people had a much greater chance than his own daughters.
In retrospect, this was mainly because Qin Shi Huang had overlooked the Cultivation of his daughters.
In fact, some of his daughters had quite good Aptitude, at least potentially more promising than his sons.
Speaking of his troublesome sons, Qin Shi Huang was particularly grateful that he had extended his lifespan for a generation!
If he hadn't extended his lifespan, the future of the Great Qin Dynasty would truly be uncertain.
"The results are out!"
Just as Qin Shi Huang was momentarily distracted, he saw the final results.
He hadn't expected the Divine Being to choose two Saintesses, though this Divine Being didn't seem to have specified choosing only one.
Furthermore, the appearance of Saintess Candidates also seemed a bit surprising.
However, Qin Shi Huang didn't dwell on this point too much.
Because he was more concerned that the Sect Head of the Heavenly Sect had been chosen.
Before, Qin Shi Huang had made some deductions regarding the different possibilities arising from the selection of various Hundred Schools of Thought members.
The selection of the Heavenly Sect's Sect Head was a good outcome.
At least it was better than someone from the Yin-Yang School being selected!
One must know that the Yin-Yang School's strength was not weak now; if a Saintess appeared from them, coupled with Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Breakthrough to Land Immortal.
Then, Great Qin might find it difficult to suppress the Yin-Yang School's existence.
In contrast, the Heavenly Sect was different; the Daoist Heavenly Sect pursued eternal life and freedom, and was not particularly interested in earthly power.
Moreover, the Heavenly Sect was also a supporter of Great Qin, and this person becoming a Saintess would perfectly counterbalance the Yin-Yang School.
Taiyi Mountain
Countless Daoist Heavenly Sect Disciples showed excited expressions on their faces.
They had no objections to their Sect Head becoming a Saintess.
After all, the Heavenly Sect pursued eternal life, which Divine Summer could now easily achieve.
Including Divine Summer's current situation, which was also what the Daoist Heavenly Sect Disciples yearned for.
In short, being able to become a Saintess would definitely be a great development for the Heavenly Sect.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Sect no longer had to worry about its demise; even if the Great Qin Dynasty fell, it would not affect the Heavenly Sect.
After all, no one wanted to offend a Divine Being; in a sense, the Heavenly Sect had latched onto a powerful backer!
Of course, the reactions throughout the Qin Dynasty Era region were also significant.
"I didn't expect the Heavenly Sect to be the ultimate winner!"
"I previously thought the Yin-Yang School might take the lead."
"One must know that many people from the Yin-Yang School participated in the selection, while the Heavenly Sect only had Great Master Xiao Meng participating."
...The people of the entire Qin Dynasty Era region began to discuss animatedly, with the Yin-Yang School being particularly singled out for comparison.
Mainly, this time, the Yin-Yang School didn't even have a single Saintess Candidate.
This surprised many people, as the Yin-Yang School did have Heaven Human Realm level experts.
"Could it be that the Yin-Yang School incurred the displeasure of that Divine Being?!"
For a time, many people couldn't help but think this way.
Unfortunately, many people didn't know that this time the Saintess Candidates were chosen by the Pope on his own initiative.
The reason the Yin-Yang School was not chosen was simply that he felt that the few individuals from the Yin-Yang School didn't have too many distinguishing characteristics.
That was all!
At the same time, in front of the Temple of Dawn in Divine Capital, the hundred people who heard this result had varied expressions on their faces.
First, the two chosen by the Divine Being: Xiao Meng smiled calmly, displaying an air of composure whether favored or disgraced.
She seemed to have quite a bit of confidence in being chosen.
However, with these Prodigies from Liyang Dynasty giving up, there weren't too many competitors.
As for the other person, Shi Qingxuan, she was excited and thrilled.
"I didn't expect to be chosen!"
Compared to Xiao Meng, Shi Qingxuan's reaction was more like a normal person's.
However, Shi Qingxuan herself didn't have much confidence; although she had stepped into the Heaven Human Realm, she was at the bottom among Heaven Human Realm experts, and not even very good at combat.
In all aspects, she was only slightly better than a Great Grandmaster!
To be honest, even Shi Qingxuan herself had no confidence, yet she was chosen.
Shi Qingxuan was not foolish and knew that some previous affinity must have led the Divine Being to choose her.
Besides the two Saintesses, there were also those chosen as Saintess Candidates.
Most of these people were also quite happy, as many of them had Cultivation levels below the Heaven Human Realm.
The Saintess position was out of reach, so a Candidate position was also good.
Who knows, there might still be many opportunities in the future!
Moreover, the treatment given to ordinary bishops by Divine Summer was also quite good.
Many people had a good understanding of Divine Summer's faith system before.
In Divine Summer, an ordinary bishop could almost preside over a town's church.
They all required a certain level of strength and faith, and basically, they were considered influential figures in their respective areas.
The treatment was quite excellent!
Firstly, these people could directly exchange for some resources from the Divine Cult.
Additionally, every year, the Divine Cult also provided special supplies for bishops.
There were also daily stipends and so on; it could be said that this was definitely a high-level standard in Divine Summer.
Moreover, Divine Cult personnel were ranked one level higher than official positions within Divine Summer's normal system.
What's more, these individuals were Candidate Saintesss, and they might be promoted to full Saintess status at any time.
It wasn't impossible!
Under such circumstances, the treatment could not possibly be bad.
Basically, all those chosen as Candidate Saintesss agreed.
Perhaps Wang Yuyan was a bit more conflicted!
Because even she hadn't expected to be chosen, even if it was only as a Candidate Saintess.
However, after experiencing betrayal, she hesitated but then accepted.
"This time, I chose for myself!"
Wang Yuyan thought silently, not for her cousin or anything like that.
It must be said that after experiencing many things during this period, she had undergone quite a few changes.
Of course, for Wang Yuyan personally, it was at least a good change.
Moreover, Wang Yuyan even intended to Cultivate, abandoning her previous dislike...
Chapter 210: Complex Emotions, Generous Rewards
With those who were chosen, there were naturally those who were not.
Some who had already given up, and those whose Aptitude and Comprehension Ability were at the bottom of the hundred, were fine.
After all, these people knew their own limitations and understood that they were unlikely to be chosen.
So, they weren't too surprised by this result!
But there were some who felt that they weren't that bad, yet they didn't even get a Candidate Saintess spot.
