"Cleric Rank: First-Class Cleric".

"Neuron reaction speed: 647% above the standard value."

"Cleric integration: 90%, rating: excellent."

"Soul certification passed, granted No. 27 of the No-Seat Sequence."

After a series of tests and investigations, it was already dusk when everything was over.

Accompanied by a mechanical announcement, a silver badge engraved with stars and the number "27" floated in front of Ling Feng.

"Lord Long Fei, from now on this will be your number in the Seatless Quiet Domain, and also the serial number of your palace."

After confirming Ling Feng's qualifications, the testing personnel became much more respectful towards him.

Although Ling Feng is only a "God without a seat" for the time being, it has been detected that he is a powerful first-level god.

In the future, clergy will have the opportunity to obtain a divine throne and rise to the top in one step.

Although this has little to do with the testing personnel, we should still maintain a certain level of respect for such powerful individuals.

"Thank you."

Just as Ling Feng reached out and caught the badge, the door to the testing hall behind him suddenly opened, and the two female deacons from the Starry Sky Temple hurriedly walked in.

"Lord Longfei, please follow us to the Amaterasu Temple. The Goddess of the Stars and the Goddess Amaterasu have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Amaterasu, the goddess..."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow; it seemed that everything was going smoothly for Long Ze Li Yue.

I think I've passed the test smoothly on my side.

"Thank you for leading the way, ladies."

Ling Feng bowed to the two stewards.

The girl on the right chuckled, "After all these years in the Cleric Academy, this is the first time I've heard someone call me 'sister'!"

"Della, don't be rude!"

The older deacon on the left looked serious and then corrected him, "Lord Longfei, you are now a seatless god of the Cleric's Office, while we are just ordinary deacons without clericate positions, that is, servants of the Cleric's Office. You don't need to be so polite."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, then said no more.

……

As dusk falls, the Sky City is bathed in a magnificent purple-gold hue, with its floating palaces casting long shadows in the twilight.

When Ling Feng stepped into the Amaterasu Temple, he saw Long Ze Liyue sitting on a throne forged from sunlight, the sun emblem between her brows exuding an awe-inspiring majesty that made people dare not look directly at her.

After merging with the divine throne, this woman was indeed somewhat different.

Both its aura and its essence of life seem to have changed.

Sariel stood beside Ryuzawa Liyue, her starlight dress intertwined with Amaterasu's radiance, each with its own unique charm, like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.

“Congratulations on passing!”

Upon seeing Ling Feng, Long Ze Liyue swiftly flew to his side and asked gently, "How was it? Was everything alright?"

The Star Goddess Sariel smiled and said, "Those guys in the testing hall didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

"With the help of the Goddess of the Stars, things went relatively smoothly."

Ling Feng shook his head slightly, then took out his badge engraved with the serial number "27" and said calmly, "They gave me this thing."

Sariel's heterochromatic eyes lingered on the badge for a moment. "Number 27, huh?"

She stared intently at Ling Feng and continued, "The Silent Domain is strictly hierarchical, and the serial number is directly related to resource allocation and permissions. Number 27 means that you have been identified as a potential first-level divine official and will directly reside in the core area."

"The core area?" Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly.

"Yes, the Silent Domain without a seat is divided into three rings based on strength."

Sariel traced three halos in the air with his fingertips. “The outer ring is for the residences of third-level priests, the middle ring is for second-level priests, and the inner ring is for first-level priests and those who have the potential to ascend to the throne. Your residence number 27 is on the edge of the inner ring, which can be considered the gateway to the core area.”

As she spoke, she took out a crystal talisman that shimmered with starlight and handed it to Ling Feng: "This is an identity token that I had someone expedite for you. With this, you can freely enter and exit the public areas of the Cleric's Office. It will be more convenient for you to come and find me or Liyue in the future."

"Thank you!" Ling Feng accepted the token. Sure enough, having connections at higher levels makes things easier.

Without the connection to the Goddess of the Stars, there would probably be a process to go through to get this badge.

"By the way, the 'Source Dust' allocated to the clergy in the inner ring of the Silent Domain is extremely precious and will greatly benefit your understanding of the origin of the clergy."

Sariel paused, then continued, "You cannot initiate a seat challenge within a year of joining the Divine Academy. If you get bored in the Seatless Realm, you can spar and fight with other Seatless Gods of the same stage, which is also one way to earn extra Source Dust."

"Uh-huh!"

Ling Feng nodded repeatedly. Even a powerful figure like Sariel, who was at the God Throne, highly praised "Origin Crystal Dust," so this thing must be extraordinary.

If given the chance, I might bring back more.

"in addition……"

Sariel suddenly lowered his voice and said with a solemn expression, "Lord Wuzhao seems to be very interested in you."

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, that lord of the First Divine Throne? How could he have noticed... cough cough, a newcomer like me?"

"You don't need to belittle yourself!"

Sariel smiled slightly, "If you are summoned by Lord Wuzhao, it might be a great opportunity for you."

"Ha ha……"

Ling Feng chuckled dryly, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

The First God Throne must be the most powerful being in the Divine Court.

Moreover, judging from Sariel's attitude, the other divine thrones and the first divine throne are not on equal footing at all.

Having been noticed by such a being, it seems I'll have to keep a low profile for the foreseeable future.

"Long Fei, I'm rooting for you a year from now!"

Sariel smiled at Ling Feng, "If possible, it's best not to challenge me. I don't like fighting, but for the sake of my family, I still have to occupy a seat of godhood, so..."

"Don't worry, Sariel. Since you consider me, Long Fei, a friend, I naturally won't challenge you."

"That's good……"

Sariel patted his chest, then smiled and took his leave from Ryuzawa Riyue, before departing with a butler.

However, she left the butler named Della with Ling Feng, so that Della would follow Ling Feng from now on.

Ling Feng didn't refuse the "gift" too much, since he was new to the place and needed a servant to help him get familiar with the environment.

After seeing Sariel off, Ryuzawa Liyue had Della wait outside the hall, and then activated the soundproof barrier inside the hall.

Seeing Long Ze Liyue's nervous appearance, Ling Feng also became somewhat uneasy. "What's wrong?"

"I'm just a little worried."

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "You haven't seen the eyes of the First God, Lord Wuzhao... I always felt that he could see through everything! When he specifically asked about you, my heart was in my throat!"

Ling Feng was silent for a moment before asking in a deep voice, "What did he mention about me?"

"He said it's interesting that you can fuse the Seven Deadly Sins without being harmed by the backlash."

Long Ze Liyue leaned closer and whispered, "What's even stranger is that he didn't ask me anything after that, which is very unusual."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng frowned slightly, unsure of the First God's intentions.

"In short, you must be very careful!"

Long Ze Liyue said with deep concern, "Before we figure out Wu Zhao's intentions, it's best to keep a low profile. This is the headquarters of the Judgment Council, full of experts. One wrong step could mean utter destruction..."

"I see."

Ling Feng nodded. He had originally planned to find out Yu Bingqing's whereabouts as soon as possible, but now it seemed... he would have to slow down!

We must remain calm and not rush!
……

When Ling Feng stepped out of the Amaterasu Temple, dusk had already soaked into the Sky City.

When Della saw Ling Feng come out, she quickly came forward to greet him. She first gave Ling Feng a graceful curtsy before speaking, "Master, shall I take you to the Silent Domain now?"

Owner?

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. It wasn't a problem that Sariel had given Della to him and she called him master.

"What's wrong?" Della blinked her big eyes and looked at Ling Feng with some suspicion.

"It's nothing." Ling Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, "Lead the way."

"Uh-huh!"

Della nodded, then summoned a starship and carried Ling Feng toward the seatless serene domain in the center of the Divine Office.

The entire area is suspended above a sea of ​​energy clouds flowing with seven-colored light, with countless palaces of different styles dotting the landscape like stars.

Some palaces resemble burning flames, their entire bodies crimson, radiating violent heat; others are like frozen snow-capped mountains, crystal clear, exuding a chilling aura; some are twisted like shadows in a nightmare, constantly shifting their shape; others are as silent as ancient tombstones, radiating a deathly pressure…

Each palace is self-contained, like an independent little world, enveloped by an invisible energy barrier, separating the inside from the outside.

As Ling Feng stepped into the Silent Domain, he could clearly sense that the divine aura of the Silent Domain was far inferior to that of Sariel and Long Ze Liyue's temple.

However, the deeper one goes, the more the divine energy gradually increases.

This must be what Sariel meant by the difference between the outer ring, the middle ring, and the inner ring.

About half an hour later, Ling Feng and his companion finally arrived at the core area.

"Master, that is your residence."

Della's voice carried a hint of admiration.

Having a place in the core level represents unparalleled strength and status!

Ling Feng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the core area.

He could clearly sense at least seven or eight hidden yet powerful divine thoughts, like invisible tentacles, reaching out from those core palaces, scrutinizing and curiously landing on him, the newcomer.

Della clearly felt those gazes as well. Her body tensed slightly, and her voice lowered a few decibels: "My lord, the lords in the core layer... all have different personalities. I hope you will pay close attention to them."

"It doesn't matter."

Ling Feng's voice was calm. In fact, this was not the first group of people to scrutinize him as they came in from the outside.

At first, the third-level priests in the outer areas curiously came out of their palaces, thinking that another "new recruit" had arrived.

However, when they saw Ling Feng enter the second-level central area, the attitudes of those third-level priests immediately became visibly respectful.

In comparison, the secondary priests in the Central District are much more aloof.

However, as Ling Feng entered the inner ring area, the aloof second-level divine officials could no longer maintain their aloofness. They all bowed and scraped to Ling Feng, looking obsequious.

Indeed, no matter where you go, strength is the only thing that matters.

Upon entering the core area, although none of the other powerful individuals who held the same first-level divine authority had yet come to greet him, almost everyone noticed Ling Feng's presence immediately.

"Oh, right, Della!"

Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. "According to Sariel, there should be no more than twenty Level One Clerics in the Silent Realm, so how come I'm only ranked 27th?"

“Master, it’s actually like this.” Della blinked. “Because many of the first-level clergy who initiated the challenge have already perished in the seat challenges.”

"So the seating arrangement challenge is a life-or-death battle?" Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly.

"Not all of them."

Della continued, "Among the top ten gods, the personalities of each person are quite different. Some people fight to the death, while others, like the Goddess of the Stars, rarely kill even if someone challenges them."

"I see!"

Ling Feng nodded, then said no more, transforming into a streak of light and landing directly in front of his own "27" main hall.

The palace has a simple and ancient design with no superfluous decorations. Only above the main gate, a number "27" that emits a faint gray light floats quietly.

"Master, we've arrived."

Della turned to look at Ling Feng and said respectfully, "Use the badge you obtained in the testing hall to activate all the central control systems inside this hall. Each hall is equipped with a super intelligent life form, which is very convenient to use."

"Ah."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, and couldn't help but recall the "tentacle monster" he had unexpectedly obtained on the spaceship of the Divine Civilization.

The intelligent life forms inside this hall must be the same kind as the tentacle monster.

Having been in the Divine Civilization for so long, I still don't know how everyone in the Immortal Realm is doing.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion once again.

After a moment of silence, Ling Feng raised the badge in his hand, and a silver light merged directly with the "27" light sphere in front of the palace gate.

next moment--

hum!
The door slid open silently, and an incomparably pure divine aura rushed out!

Although it is not as good as the temple of a god-level expert, it is almost comparable to the hot springs of the Zerg hive.

"Not bad!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.

One day of cultivation here is probably equivalent to a hundred days of practice in the Upper City!
The next moment, countless rays of light converged into a virtual humanoid image, which gradually transformed into a faceless human form and walked straight toward Ling Feng.

Immediately afterwards, the virtual shadow bowed deeply to Ling Feng, saying, "Number 27 greets Master."

"number 27?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow; clearly, this was the intelligent life form within the hall.

"Yes."

Number 27 nodded. "Master can set my gender, appearance, and voice according to his own preferences. Once set, I will become his permanent image."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "Let's just generate it randomly..."

"OK……"

Number 27 nodded, and in the next moment, her figure and face changed continuously. After a while, she transformed into a petite and delicate young girl.

"Master, Master, you can come in now!"

After transforming into a teenage girl, Number 27's personality seemed to become much more unconventional.

Ling Feng felt helpless. He should have designed it as a calm and composed butler type.

He took a deep breath and was just about to lead Della into his mansion when a gentle male voice came from not far away.

"Oh? A new neighbor? I am Moria, number 25, here to pay a visit!"

Number 25?
It's two numbers higher than mine, so it seems we really are neighbors!
The next moment, a handsome man dressed in a black tuxedo, holding a metal cane, landed in the open space in front of Lingfeng's mansion.

"Brother, it's been a long time since any newcomers have come to the core area! May I ask your name?"

Moria had a very gentle smile on his face, and his every move made him look like a gentleman.

However, he was shrouded in a faint, almost imperceptible, shadowy aura that seemed to devour light, suggesting that his divine role was likely related to light and shadow.

"My name is Long Fei."

Ling Feng bowed respectfully to Moria, his voice carrying a deep, resonant quality through the gleaming gold mask on his face. (End of Chapter)
