210: Ignite this fire of life!

There was no distinction between day and night here; it was always white.

Zhang Fan spent two days adjusting himself to his optimal state.

“Let’s begin!”

Zhang Fan’s mind sank into his Sea of Consciousness, where he saw his Yang God.

“My physical body is the furnace!”

“My Yang God is the fuel!”

“My spiritual will is the flint!”

“Ignite this flame of life!”

Zhang Fan activated his spiritual will.

Immediately, a tiny silver electric arc appeared on the surface of his Yang God, followed by a second, a third, a fourth...

The electric arcs grew in number, quickly covering his entire Yang God.

Willpower transforming into electricity!

Information transmission between nerves occurs through electrical signals!

However, these electrical signals are very weak and generally imperceptible!

But, when a person’s spiritual will becomes powerful enough, these electrical signals will become very strong!

This is willpower transforming into electricity, and igniting the Yang God relies on this very process!

As time passed, the electric arcs covering the Yang God grew more numerous, thicker, and more powerful...

Attempting to ignite the Yang God!

But Zhang Fan tried for a long time, and his Yang God showed no signs of igniting!

“Not enough!”

“My spiritual will is still not strong enough!”

Zhang Fan stopped trying; he knew his spiritual will was not yet powerful enough to ignite his Yang God!

Zhang Fan was not disheartened.

This was only his first attempt; failure was normal, success would be a ghost!

Moreover,

His Chaotic Green Lotus Visualization had reached minor accomplishment, the Chaos Green Lotus materialized, attracting the Law of Life!

This meant that, in the time to come, he could strengthen his spiritual will at any time by leveraging the Law of Life.

Therefore, his spiritual will would only grow stronger!

In contrast, his Yang God had already reached its limit and would be difficult to improve further!

One waxing, one waning!

One day, Zhang Fan would surely be able to ignite this flame of life!

“The path ahead is bright!”

“Why should I be anxious?”

“Take it slow!”

With the tempering of his past and present lives, what Zhang Fan possessed most was patience!

This was his greatest talent!

“Whoosh!”

The Chaos Green Lotus floated above his head, casting down streams of green light, nourishing Zhang Fan’s physical body, Yang God, and spiritual will.

His physical body and Yang God slowly improved, while his spiritual will soared!

After some time, Zhang Fan tried again, but failed once more!

Zhang Fan was not discouraged; he continued to manifest the Chaos Green Lotus and strengthen his spirit.

In the time that followed,

Zhang Fan tried again and again.

And failed again and again.

Finally...

On the 159th attempt!

“Crackling!”

Countless thick currents of electricity appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire Yang God, and terrifying lightning fiercely struck the Yang God inside and out.

The Yang God was scorched, smoking, carbonized—a truly horrific sight!

“Rise!”

Zhang Fan roared, like rumbling muffled thunder, echoing through his Sea of Consciousness.

“Boom!”

In an instant, a small flame suddenly shot up from the scorched Yang God.

Once this small flame appeared, it quickly began to burn, growing stronger at a visible rate, burning more and more fiercely.

Finally, it transformed into a raging inferno that enveloped the entire Yang God, burning madly.

The Yang God, originally in human form, was like dry firewood in a bonfire, gradually burned to ashes, and finally disappeared completely!

In its place was a fiercely burning flame of life!

‘Xing’ ( sex) refers to the soul!

‘Ming’ ( life) refers to the physical body!

The flame of life represents the dual flame of both the physical body and the soul!

This is the Divine Flame!

The ‘Shen’ ( god) here refers to both the divine soul and the divine body.

It has a dual meaning!

“The Divine Flame... it’s done!”

Feeling the fiercely burning flame of life, Zhang Fan was incredibly excited.

How many times had he failed!

Finally, he succeeded!

He finally succeeded!

The light emitted by the Divine Flame illuminated the dim Sea of Consciousness.

This boundless darkness finally had its own sun!

“Ah!”

Zhang Fan cried out excitedly, his laughter echoing through the white space.

Lingering for a long time!

“This kid...”

Zi Shu looked at the excitedly shouting Zhang Fan through the screen and smiled too.

“Four years and three months!”

“Less than half the time, and he became a Starry Sky Life!”

“Successfully passed the test!”

“His talent is overflowing!”

Zi Shu praised, “I must quickly inform Golden Light Master!”

Subsequently, Zi Shu contacted Golden Light Master; he had been instructed to notify him immediately once Zhang Fan passed the test.

Zi Shu dared not delay!

“Whoosh!”

Light and shadow projected, coalescing into an arrogant little golden monkey.

It was Golden Light Master!

“Greetings, Master!”

Zi Shu bowed respectfully, “That Zhang Fan has passed the test!”

Golden Light Master narrowed his eyes slightly, “How long did he take?”

Golden Light Master’s true body was at the other end of the universe, where time flowed much, much faster than here.

So, Golden Light Master found it difficult to judge exactly how long Zhang Fan had taken.

“Calculated according to the normal time flow of the universe, four years and three months!”

Zi Shu said respectfully.

“That fast?”

Golden Light Master was very surprised, “Less than half the time?”

Zi Shu explained, “Zhang Fan’s Chaotic Green Lotus Visualization has reached minor accomplishment, and the Chaos Green Lotus has materialized!”

“No wonder!”

Golden Light Master suddenly understood, then looked somewhat incredulous:

“He’s only a Demigod, yet his Chaotic Green Lotus Visualization has actually reached minor accomplishment?”

“Doesn’t that mean his Law of Life has already crossed the threshold?”

“Yes!”

Zi Shu dared not conceal anything.

Golden Light Master took a deep breath, looking at the smiling Zhang Fan on the electronic screen, and sighed, “Remarkable!”

“Top-tier innate talent!”

“Coupled with top-tier comprehension!”

“This kid is truly extraordinary!”

Zi Shu repeatedly agreed, “In fact, I think his spiritual will is also not to be underestimated!”

“Oh?”

Golden Light Master raised an eyebrow.

Zi Shu explained, “Ever since entering the test space, Zhang Fan has been exceptionally calm, his mindset terrifyingly stable!”

“For four years, he has been diligently cultivating without interruption!”

“His temperament, perseverance, patience, and will are extremely tenacious!”

Zi Shu mused, “I believe this might actually be Zhang Fan’s greatest strength!”

Zi Shu’s words were not flattery; it genuinely admired Zhang Fan!

The universe never lacked geniuses with extraordinary talent and top-tier innate abilities!

Like the Saya Golden Ape Race, most of them possess formidable physical bodies and extremely high bloodline levels, almost all of them being first-rate combat geniuses!

However, the temperament and comprehension of this race are truly not commendable!

Making them sit quietly in meditation is even more unbearable than killing them!

For someone like Zhang Fan to cultivate diligently for four years straight? It’s as hard as ascending to heaven!

This leads to the Saya Golden Ape’s physical bodies being more abnormal than the last, but their comprehension of laws is just... laughable!

Upon hearing this, Golden Light Master sighed, “No wonder Master would take a liking to him; he is indeed remarkable!”

At this point, Golden Light Master said, “Let him out!”

“Yes, Master!”

Zi Shu waved his small paw, and Zhang Fan abruptly appeared inside the cabin.

“Hmm?”

Zhang Fan, still immersed in excitement, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, his expression subtly changing.

“Don’t be nervous!”

Zi Shu smiled, “Zhang Fan, congratulations on passing the test!”

Seeing Zi Shu, Zhang Fan secretly felt relieved, “Greetings, Senior!”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!”

Zi Shu quickly jumped aside, pointing at Golden Light Master and saying, “Zhang Fan, quickly pay your respects to Master!”

Master... Sir?

Zhang Fan trembled; in the universe, Stellar Gods were called Main Gods, and only Black Hole Gods could be called Masters!

This meant that a Black Hole God had appeared here!

Zhang Fan immediately looked at Golden Light Master, and when he saw that the other party was a small monkey, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

However, Zhang Fan was not one to judge by appearance; despite his internal complaints, he still bowed and said,

“Greetings, Master!”

Golden Light Master revealed a smile, trying to appear amiable, “Junior Brother, no need for formalities!”

“Junior Brother?”

Zhang Fan was utterly confused.

“Let me explain!”

Zi Shu quickly said, “Zhang Fan, you had already joined the Cosmic Vientiane Academy and were an elite student!”

“Logically, I shouldn’t force you to join the Virtual Universe Company!”

“After all!”

“Genius is something we have plenty of in the Virtual Universe Company; one more of you isn’t much, one less isn’t little!”

Zhang Fan nodded; this was normal!

Would a county high school fight over a top-scoring middle school student, but would Peking University, Tsinghua University, Harvard, or Cambridge fight over one?

The answer is no!

The same logic applies.

Would the Three Great God-Level Civilizations compete for an indigenous genius?

The answer is also no!

Would a God-level Civilization lack geniuses?

It’s simply a joke!

“The reason I set up this trap to lure you in is because Supreme God Jin Yan took a liking to you!” Zi Shu said with a smile.

“Supreme God!!!”

The name Jin Yan was unfamiliar to Zhang Fan, and he had no concept of it.

But he had heard Golden Scale mention the three words “Supreme God.”

Black Hole Gods can be called Masters!

Universe Gods can be called Supreme Gods!

Representing ultimate supremacy!

Supreme God Jin Yan meant that the other party was a great Universe God!

“A Universe God took a liking to me?”

Zhang Fan felt dizzy; he wasn’t surprised or excited, but rather shocked and apprehensive.

“Yes!”

Zi Shu said enviously, “Supreme God Jin Yan is the greatest and most powerful Universe God in our Virtual Universe Company!”

“At the same time, he is also the Universe God most likely to transcend in the entire universe!”

“Zhang Fan, for Supreme God Jin Yan to take a liking to you is absolutely your good fortune!”

“How many people in the universe wish to catch Supreme God Jin Yan’s eye but fail to do so!”

“Why would Supreme God Jin Yan value me?” Zhang Fan couldn’t understand.

The gap between them was too vast!

One was the most powerful Universe God in the Virtual Universe Company!

And him?

Although he had a small reputation on Earth and his talent was considered good, in the universe, he was probably nothing!

Would the lofty Supreme God Jin Yan take a liking to him?

It didn’t make sense!

It simply didn’t make sense!

“This...”

Zi Shu hesitated, involuntarily looking at Golden Light Master.

Golden Light Master smiled faintly, “Master has far-reaching vision; since he took a liking to you, he has his own reasons, you don’t need to worry about it!”

“You just need to know that from now on, you are a member of the Virtual Universe Company!”

“As for the Cosmic Vientiane Academy, Master will handle it!”

“And this!”

Golden Light Master tossed out a ring, “This is our first meeting today, consider it a welcome gift from your elder brother!”

Zhang Fan was about to refuse.

Golden Light Master continued, “Junior Brother, cultivate well. After the Gods War, I will personally pick you up and bring you back to the company headquarters!”

With that, Golden Light Master directly disappeared, vanishing without a trace.

Zhang Fan opened his mouth, then swallowed the words he was about to say.

Looking at the ring in his hand, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Zhang Fan, congratulations!”

Once Golden Light Master left, Zi Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a grin:

“Tsk tsk! To be favored by Supreme God Jin Yan, your luck is too good; you, young man, have truly made it big!”

“When you get rich, don’t forget your old friends!”

“Senior Zi Shu, who exactly is that Supreme God Jin Yan?”
