Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

Hearing everyone suggesting that the Jade Emperor allocate more resources to Luo Qiuyue, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"If we're talking about who's worth nurturing, isn't Qin Le even more worthy?" She directly voiced the question in her mind.

In her view, Qin Le, a prodigy who could easily comprehend the Dao of Immortality, was a rare breed throughout history and deserved the most resources.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officials who had just suggested cultivating Luo Qiuyue were stunned and didn't know how to respond.

The Jade Emperor smiled and continued, "It's not that we're unwilling to nurture Qin Le, but... we simply lack the ability to do so."

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Li asked curiously.

"He is a direct disciple of the Goddess Nuwa. With the Goddess around, we don't need to provide him with cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, or spells. Furthermore, his 1% affinity for spiritual energy makes most elixirs virtually ineffective against him. As for magical artifacts... he simply can't use them; they must be at least at the level of spiritual treasures for him to use properly. So, tell me, how should we train him?"

The Jade Emperor revealed Qin Le's special circumstances in one go, and the other high-ranking officials nodded in agreement.

It wasn't that they didn't value Qin Le, but rather that they genuinely didn't know where to begin. Anyone qualified to mentor Qin Le would at least be a sage personally guiding him.

However, the sages of the celestial realm all have important matters to attend to. They can only spare a moment to give a wisp of their incarnation to preach, which is already a rare treat. They simply cannot find the time to carefully cultivate a disciple.

This is precisely why, although the Celestial Venerable of Morality tested Qin Le's comprehension, he did not accept him as a disciple—he simply did not have the time to teach him.

Below the level of a sage, even a quasi-sage like the Jade Emperor is helpless.

If it weren't for the return of the goddess Nuwa and her taking in a disciple, Qin Le would probably still be the number one useless person in history, stuck in the early stage of refining essence into qi.

After hearing this, Ye Li was also taken aback: "I see... no wonder you didn't focus your attention on him."

Faced with a freak like Qin Le, neither the human nor the demon race could find a suitable way to raise him.

His path had long since deviated from the conventional understanding they had.

At this moment, a high-ranking member of the alliance spoke up again: "Your Majesty, what is your decision? That girl is indeed worth cultivating."

"I understand what you mean," the Jade Emperor sighed softly. "But if we decide to allocate resources based solely on a whim, what will the other young people think? If this causes resentment, how will we resolve it?"

He looked at the crowd, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The key issue wasn't the allocation of resources itself, but rather how to win people's hearts and minds.

After all, some of those traitors who defected to Chaos did so because they felt they had been treated unfairly and harbored resentment, which ultimately led them astray.

If they repeat the same mistakes in the mortal realm, and after these people ascend to the heavens and turn to Chaos, then this war, which has lasted for more than a thousand years, will probably never end.

"this……"

Upon hearing this, the senior executives were speechless.

Indeed, many of them acted on a whim without giving it much thought. After being reminded by the Jade Emperor, they had no choice but to re-evaluate the potential consequences of this resource allocation.

In fact, some imbalances already exist in the mortal world today—for example, the number of university admissions slots.

Before university, there are no barriers to further education for everyone; only when entering university do people need to pass an examination, and the number of places is limited.

However, in the actual college entrance examination, every year there are always a few students with extremely high talent who are unexpectedly eliminated and unable to enroll. Even if those who fail are unwilling, they have nothing to say - before the rules, everyone is equal.

As for special admissions to universities, the review process is extremely rigorous. In over five hundred years, only two people have received this honor:

One of them was a student from over two hundred years ago. She was naturally close to spiritual plants and could sense their emotional fluctuations. Because of this unique talent, she was specially recruited by the university to specialize in cultivating spiritual plants.

The other person was Qin Le's mother, Lin Wanrou. During her student days, she often studied various strange elixirs, and because of her outstanding achievements, she was also specially admitted to the university.

The fact that these two were specially recruited is truly convincing—their specialness lies not in their ordinary cultivation talent.

Although the third special admission spot has not yet been determined, almost all students believe that it will be Qin Le.

If Qin Le were to be specially recruited, no one would object.

Qin Le's uniqueness even surpasses that of the previous two.

Even if the goddess Nuwa never returned, and even if he never comprehended the Dao of Immortality, no one would say anything if he were specially admitted to the university.

Because everyone knows that Qin Le doesn't rely on regular resources. He was specially recruited into the university department, more as a teacher than a student.

The Jade Emperor spoke again: "I have considered your thoughts. But I also hope that you can all think about how to do something that will leave others with nothing to say."

Upon hearing this, all the senior executives said they needed to go back and think it over carefully.

Ye Li, standing to the side, watched them struggle with such a simple matter and didn't know what to say.

Although the demon race is no less intelligent than the human race, there are certain behavioral logics of the human race that the demon race can never understand.

Even among the traitors in the Three Realms, humans make up the majority, while demons account for only a very small minority.

Inside the secret realm.

After a full day of repeated drills, the operation of the Myriad Spirits Returning to One Formation has basically met Luo Qiuyue's requirements.

On the second night, everyone unanimously decided to set off to hunt down the domain lord.

Choosing to act at night was to maximize the power of Lu Qingshuang's Moonlight Divine Power. This divine power can only exert its strongest effect under moonlight; although it can be used during the day, it is ultimately not as effective as at night.

Chen Yun and Chu Xiaonan, however, are not subject to this limitation, and can exert their maximum power both day and night.

At this moment, Li Yanran suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, we haven't decided yet—which domain lord to hunt?"

All eyes turned to Luo Qiuyue.

She smiled slightly, already prepared: "My personal suggestion is to choose the 'Snow Leopard Domain Lord'. If you have any other ideas, you can bring them up."

"I disagree," a male student from Sanqing Academy raised his hand. "Although it is the smallest and may not have a significant impact on the formation, it is extremely fast. The formation's core may not be able to keep up with its speed."

Information about the five domain lords of the secret realm is not a secret—almost every year, students who like to court death go to provoke them, so the characteristics of each domain lord have long been public knowledge.

Luo Qiuyue calmly replied, "Qin Le can inflict at least a 'tenfold deceleration' on the Domain Lord, while simultaneously providing a 'tenfold acceleration' to the array's core. With this balance, I don't think its speed can still pose a threat."

Upon hearing the figure of a tenfold increase or decrease, the group of people who had previously expressed doubts were immediately rendered speechless.

What else can be said?

With this absolute advantage of increasing and decreasing, if the array core still can't keep up with the domain lord's speed... then it's probably not that the domain lord is too fast, but that it's time to change the array core.
