Throne of Gods: The mighty power of the heavens, the holy dragon descends upon the world!

Chapter 1: The Protection of Light, the Name of a Genius!
"Tick tock..."

Sweat dripped down the wooden sword in his hand, and Su Zhe let out a long breath.

"1000 sword swings..."

Su Zhe sheathed his sword and stood still, when a little girl who looked no more than six or seven years old quickly ran forward.

"Brother Su Zhe, let me wipe it for you."

The girl smiled sweetly and took out a handkerchief that she had prepared beforehand.

"Thank you, Xin'er."

Su Zhe did not refuse, letting the girl wipe his cheek with a handkerchief.

Beside him, a rather plump middle-aged man smiled helplessly.

"Alright, Xin'er, let your brother Su Zhe get some rest."

After a pause, the middle-aged man continued, "Su Zhe, your external spiritual power has reached its limit, hasn't it?"

Su Zhe nodded. "I feel like I've reached a bottleneck, and I think that's it."

Although the middle-aged fat man had expected it, he was still somewhat shocked when he heard the news.

"An eight-year-old with 200 external spiritual power, what a monster."

Nalan Shu was overjoyed. With Su Zhe, this prodigy, their Haoyue branch palace was bound to rise to prominence.

"Well done. Tomorrow I will arrange your Holy Awakening, and then I will personally take you to the Holy Mountain of Knights to choose a mount."

Nalan Shu had no doubt about whether Su Zhe's external spiritual power had reached 200. In the test half a month ago, Su Zhe's external spiritual power had reached 195, so it must have reached 200 now.

"Yes."

Su Zhe gave a knightly salute and turned to leave.

Leaving the cultivation room, Su Zhe's expression became one of realization. Eight years after transmigrating to this world, had he finally achieved some success?

That's right, Su Zhe is a time traveler who traveled to another world after saving a child from drowning.

A classic orphan start, without a system yet. Fortunately, he was picked up by the people of the Haoyue Branch Hall and adopted by the branch hall. Otherwise, Su Zhe would not have been able to embark on the path of cultivation so quickly.

On his way back to his dormitory, Su Zhe was planning his future.

Li Xin hasn't started cultivating yet, and there are at least ten years before the plot unfolds, enough time for her to develop again.

I just don't know how much innate spiritual power I'll have after the Divine Awakening tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Su Zhe frowned.

The amount of innate spiritual energy one possesses is related to future growth.

With an innate spiritual power of 70 or above, as long as one survives to the ninth rank, one will almost certainly become a Divine Seal Knight!
"My external spiritual power has improved so quickly, so my talent must be pretty good too."

Su Zhe comforted himself, even though he knew that the cultivation of external spiritual power and the talent of internal spiritual power were basically unrelated.

The next day, Su Zhe arrived at the Awakening Room, where Palace Master Nalan Shu and Chief Instructor Ye Hua had been waiting for a long time.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Su Zhe, Nalan Shu asked with a smile, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

Decades ago, Nalan Shu faced the same situation when he was about to awaken. He couldn't sleep all night and spent the entire night waiting in the awakening room.

Ye Hua, however, was not in such a good mood. The deficiency of his innate inner spiritual power was always a pain in his heart. If it weren't for Su Zhe being the one to awaken today, he wouldn't have come to the awakening room.

"Lord Nalan, Instructor Ye Hua." Su Zhe respectfully performed a standard knightly salute.

"Get yourself ready to awaken." Nalan Shu took out the Awakening Stone.

Su Zhe nodded solemnly and pressed his right hand on top of the Awakening Stone.

Focusing his mind, Su Zhe's breathing became steady.

Almost instantly, a pale golden beam of light burst forth from the top of Su Zhe's head.

Watching the beam of light move so fast, Nalan Shu smacked his lips.

It's 10 o'clock...

Before he could even give Ye Hua a glance, Nalan Shu was shocked to discover that the pillar of light had already reached a height of thirty.

Nalan Shu and Ye Hua exchanged bewildered glances. At this rate...

forty……

Fifty……

The speed remained the same, and Nalan Shu and the other two looked excited. They originally thought that Su Zhe's innate spiritual power could reach fifty, which was already quite good. They did not expect that Su Zhe's talent was far higher than they had imagined!
You should know that having fifty innate spiritual power means that as long as you don't die young, you will almost certainly become an eighth-order holy knight!
Eighth rank!
Nalan Shu was breathing heavily; he was a very important figure in the entire alliance. "That's not right."

Ye Hua's sudden voice interrupted Nalan Shu's beautiful fantasy.

Nalan Shu was somewhat displeased, "Shh... if something is wrong, don't disturb Su Zhe's awakening."

Nalan Shu turned his head and saw that Ye Hua's zombie-like face was full of shock.

Nalan Shu looked at the pillar of light, puzzled, only to find that it had reached a height of seventy.

Seventy! Divine Knight!
Nalan Shu opened his mouth wide.

Moreover, it's still rising.

The beam of light finally stopped at eighty-five. Su Zhe opened his eyes with a refreshed expression, only to find two fifth-tier knights, who had seen many storms, standing there dumbfounded.

"Palace Master Nalan? Instructor Ye Hua?"

Su Zhe shook his hand, waking the two of them.

"what happened?"

Nalan Shu and the other man snapped out of their daze and grabbed Su Zhe's shoulders excitedly.

"Su Zhe, you... your innate spiritual power is eighty-five points!"

"Eighty-five! The legendary Light-Protecting Physique!"

Nalan Shu's expression was almost manic, and his usual composure had completely vanished.

Nalan Shu could hardly contain himself at the thought that the child he had raised could become a Divine Knight in the future.

"Well done! Let's go to the Knight's Holy Mountain!" Nalan Shu said excitedly.

"and many more."

Ye Hua's expression returned to calm as he interrupted Nalan Shu.

"The journey to the Holy Mountain of Knights is long, why are you, a mere Earth Knight, getting involved?"

At this point, a rare hint of pride appeared on Ye Hua's face.

"Of course, we should have the Sky Knight take Su Zhe on that trip."

Seeing his old friend's unusual emotions, which he hadn't felt in years, Nalan Shu was speechless.

On one hand, there's the return of an old friend's emotions; on the other hand, there's the selection of mounts for the future Divine Knight.

Nalan Shu felt that it was clearly the latter that was more important.

"You still have to teach the students, I'll go."

Seeing that Nalan Shu looked ready to fight, Ye Hua narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, Ye Hua grabbed Su Zhe and ran outside.

Before Nalan Shu could react, Ye Hua and Su Zhe were already on the back of the Shaking Mountain Eagle.

"Damn it!"

Nalan Shu clutched his chest. That was a mount chosen by a genius of the Divine Seal Knight level. Who knew what powerful and precious magical beasts it might encounter? This was a huge loss.

But since things had come to this point, Nalan Shu could not possibly chase after someone else's flying magical beast on his own four legs, and could only leave in disappointment.

High in the sky, Ye Hua's rare excitement finally subsided, and he talked to Su Zhe about the precautions for the Knight's Holy Mountain.

"With your current talent, perhaps only the Starry Unicorn is worthy of you."

As he spoke, Ye Hua couldn't hide his envy.

The Starry Unicorn is hailed as the most suitable mount for knights.

Su Zhe didn't answer. The Starry Unicorn...

An adult Starry Unicorn is a level 8 peak magical beast, comparable to a level 7 professional. It's sufficient in the early stages, but in the later stages, it may only be used for transportation.

Even the King of Starry Unicorns is only a level nine magical beast.

Su Zhe's talent destined him to face various demon gods in the future, and level nine magical beasts would hardly be of any help to him.

"If we can't find a suitable magical beast, then this is the only option..."

Su Zhe was helpless. If it really came to that, he would have no choice but to find a way to upgrade the Starry Unicorn to a Divine Unicorn.

The level of the Starry Unicorn is somewhat controversial. In the original novel, when Long Haochen first went to Knight's Holy Mountain, it was clearly written that the Starry Unicorn was a level 8 peak magical beast when it grew up. However, some people say that it was later changed to a level 9 magical beast. Let's stick with the first time. The protagonist's mount is not this, so it does not affect the plot.
