Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Due to the sudden arrival of Mansfield and his group, Enzo was caught off guard.

However, since he had decided to delve into the Otrank Mountains to execute his fishing plan, he naturally had a strategy in place. The moment Mansfield made his move, Enzo instantly activated his Magic Shadow divine arts, transforming into a dark shadow to evade Mansfield's attack. He then concealed himself within the shadows and used Soul Fortress to mask his soul signature.

With his attack missing its mark and Enzo vanishing, Mansfield became furious.

He shouted to the others, "Everyone, search for him! That brat is definitely still nearby!"

However, after searching extensively, they found no trace of Enzo.

This drove Mansfield into a complete frenzy. The elemental energy within him erupted, bombarding the surroundings and destroying all nearby boulders and trees, sending debris flying and dust swirling, as if a disaster had struck.

By this time, Enzo had long since left.

From a distance, he observed the commotion caused by Mansfield and, with a cold expression, murmured to himself, "That guy Mansfield has probably locked onto my energy signature. It seems my plan to lure others in the core area won't work anymore. I need to find a different way to obtain the Elemental Origin Crystal."

But then something unexpected happened to Enzo.

Three days later, a massive ethereal figure appeared above the Otrank Mountains. This figure was an old man who simply opened his mouth and blew a breath toward the Otrank Mountains. In an instant, flying sand and stones filled the air, and the towering peaks of the vast Otrank Mountains were scattered like dust, transforming into an endless plain.

This was merely a change in terrain. The people within the Otrank Mountains were not seriously injured, but they were inevitably left in a state of disarray.

Then, the old man's ethereal figure spoke.

"You pups of the Primordial Beast Clan, I see you. Stop hiding!"

As soon as his words fell, countless beams of light descended from the sky.

These beams pierced through the bodies of a group of individuals—the very members of the Primordial Beast Clan the old man had referred to. After killing them, the old man's figure dissipated.

But the overwhelming pressure he exuded lingered, leaving everyone trembling with fear.

An immortal deity!

That man was definitely a powerful immortal deity!

Enzo was certain of this.

At that moment, he decided to leave the Otrank Mountains and head toward Otrank City. With the mountains flattened into an endless plain, Otrank City now appeared strikingly out of place.

Enzo moved quickly, and before long, he arrived at Otrank City.

In Otrank City now, there were almost no locals from the Fierce Beast continent. Everyone was a member of a faction from the Starry Sky. The moment Enzo entered Otrank City and actively released his energy signature, Patricia and Elsie appeared before him.

"Enzo, you're finally back!"

Patricia exclaimed.

Without giving him a chance to ask questions, she continued, "Come with me immediately. Lord Norman has dealt with those Primordial Beast Clan members, and the struggle over Eomaia's corpse has come to an end. The main forces of the Temple are about to return to Starry Sky, and you should leave with us."

"So soon?"

Enzo was a bit surprised, realizing he had no time to think it over.

However, he didn't refuse and agreed.

Though he still had some unfinished business on the Fierce Beast continent and several truths left to uncover, going to the temple didn't mean he couldn't return to the Fierce Beast continent later.

With that thought in mind, Enzo followed behind Patricia.

Just as Patricia had said, the main forces of the Temple of the Seven Gods had already begun their return to Starry Sky. This time, they were using a massive teleportation array, and the one activating it was none other than the enormous ethereal figure of the old man—Lord Norman, as Patricia had referred to him.

Enzo received a simple message from the person in charge, and he, along with Patricia and Elsie, was allowed to leave.

The three stood within a magical circle.

In the next moment, a flash of light occurred, and Enzo felt the scene before him rapidly shifting. Then, stars seemed to recede continuously. When the image returned to normal, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

It appeared to be a port.

But unlike any ordinary port, it was situated in the Starry Sky. Countless thick chains connected floating meteors in space, forming a massive platform. Countless spacecraft were docked on this meteor platform, leaving Enzo in awe.

This was the true Starry Sky.

It was vast and boundless. Even a deity could only traverse short distances within it. For long journeys, especially across huge starfields, one would need to travel by spaceship, which required a significant amount of time.

Patricia led Enzo and Elsie to a silver-white spaceship. As she approached, a mechanical voice came from the ship, and the hatch opened.

Patricia took the two inside.

Then she called out to the cockpit, "Quinn, start the ship and head back."

Quinn had already arrived here and entered the spaceship. Upon hearing Patricia's command, Quinn directly started the ship. With a slight jolt, the spaceship took off vertically and left the port in the Starry Sky.

Patricia then explained, "That was a transfer station in the Underground-River starfield, and the Temple of the Seven Gods is even farther away. At the speed of this ship, it will take at least three months to reach it. So, for now, you can take a good rest. Of course, there are plenty of books in the ship's lounge that introduce the Starry Sky and the Temple of the Seven Gods.

If you want to learn more, feel free to check them out."

After finishing her explanation, Patricia walked back to her room.

Enzo, curious, headed to the lounge Patricia mentioned. He pulled a few books from the nearby bookshelf and began to read.

<Rules and Guidelines of the Temple of the Seven Gods>

<Major Factions in the Underground-River Starfield>

<Local Customs and Culture of the Underground-River Starfield>

...

These books were mostly basic knowledge, used by Patricia for decoration, but for Enzo, they were extremely useful.

He quickly immersed himself in the information they provided.

Three months passed like this. With another slight jolt from the spaceship, Enzo was suddenly awakened from his rest, while Patricia shouted, "We've finally arrived!"

The place where the spaceship landed was not the headquarters of the Temple of the Seven Gods.

It was a life planet called Alfa, managed by one of "Temple of the Seven Gods", Rage Temple, which had a branch here.

At Patricia's invitation, the group exited the spaceship.

Once outside, Enzo was stunned by the scene before him: a vast city made up of countless bizarre buildings, prominently displaying a slogan—"Welcome to Alfa City." Numerous small spacecraft flew through the air, and many supernatural beings were bustling about. Compared to the cities on Fierce Beast Continent, this city seemed straight out of the future, leaving Enzo in awe.

Patricia then said, "Come on, I'll take you to the temple branch. However, even though you have Oris's recommendation, whether you can successfully join the temple will still depend on an assessment. For you, the assessment shouldn't be a problem."

The temple branch was not far away, and before long, the three of them arrived.

Patricia entered first and explained their purpose to the person in charge. Soon, someone took Enzo and Elsie to register their information. After the registration was complete, the official smiled and said, "Esteemed warriors, you only need to connect your consciousness to the temple's dreamland crystal to engage in simulated battles.

This assessment will award the top three in the simulated combat."

Enzo was the first to walk over and took a seat designated for him, connecting his consciousness to the dreamland crystal.

In the next moment, he felt the scene before him shift once again.

He found himself in a vast square, seemingly boundless, filled with countless individuals. Not only humans were present, but also many other races, such as orcs, elves, and even unique species that Enzo had never encountered before. These races coexisted harmoniously, gathered together, and engaged in animated discussions.

At that moment, Enzo received additional information regarding the dreamland crystal and the introduction to the simulated battles.

The dreamland crystal and this consciousness space had been created by a powerful immortal deity to facilitate combat training and the practice of spells or divine arts for members of the Temple of the Seven Gods.

After all, fighting in the real world could lead to unnecessary casualties, while dying in the dreamland would only leave one's spirit feeling uneasy for a day or two, causing no lasting harm.

This was regarded as one of the temple's greatest innovations.

The simulated battles took place within the consciousness dreamland. While they couldn't fully assess a person's true strength—since the dreamland was ultimately a simulation and even an immortal deity couldn't know all the abilities possessed by individuals—the simulated battles were used in less critical or large-scale combat scenarios.

The assessment for joining the Temple of the Seven Gods fell into this category.

Enzo's next task was to participate in a simulated battle with a thousand people, aiming to secure a spot in the top ten.

The rules dictated that participants would be divided into groups, with the dreamland autonomously assigning combatants. Victors would then be reassigned to battle other winners until the final ten champions emerged, who would qualify for entry into the Temple of the Seven Gods.

Those who passed the assessment were truly exceptional, selected from the best.

There was also a restriction: only those below the deity level could participate.

Enzo naturally met this criterion.

Before long, Enzo received the announcement that the assessment was about to begin.
