The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

However, the stone people's joy did not last long.

As the four defenses of the divine kingdom were breached and a large number of its people died, more and more alien races broke into the kingdom. The stone people guarding the mines eventually could not hold on and fell to the ground.

The dead stone figures began to split apart, but were immediately crushed by the densely packed alien army until not a single one remained.

"Lu Sheng, a freshman at Ziwei Academy, has completed the Divine Kingdom Defense Test. His ranking range is 2791 million to 2911 million. Based on the strength test of the Divine Kingdom's citizens, we are calculating your initial ranking on the [Prodigy Ranking]..."

"Calculation successful. Your initial ranking on the [Prodigy Ranking] is 22,937,319. Ziwei Academy has awarded you 10000 credits."

"Would you like to participate in the Prodigy Challenge?"

"Friendly reminder: The ranking of the opponent you can challenge each time cannot be more than 10,000 places higher than your own ranking. After entering the top 10 million of the [Genius Ranking], you will receive a special reward from the academy for every million places you advance."

"No." Lu Sheng refused to continue the challenge and withdrew his consciousness from the Ziwei Battlefield.

He was quite satisfied with the result.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly exaggerated number of 20 million students. The premise is that each year, Ziwei Academy has at least tens of millions of students, all of whom are geniuses who have joined the "Tianjiao Project".

Thanks to the Great Xia government's "balanced policy," even in remote star regions, students can occasionally gain admission to the three top universities.

Therefore, the number of students in the entire Ziwei Academy is not small.

On the other hand, the ranking of the "Top Students" list is for all students of Ziwei Academy, and as a recommended student, Lu Sheng's opponents at this moment are not only other recommended students, but also the senior students of the school.

Even if they are not as talented as Lu Sheng, it is normal for them to be a little stronger after coming to Ziwei Star to exchange for strategic resources and having a few more years of development.

After all, Lu Sheng had only been a demigod for a month, and even fifth-order beings were only at the early stage of strength.

"However, my divine kingdom's defenses are indeed ridiculously weak... If it weren't for the strength of my people, I probably wouldn't even have made it into the top 30 million." Lu Sheng frowned.

Although his monthly income exceeds 1.5 million strands of divinity, money is needed everywhere in the divine kingdom, and there is simply no extra fund to purchase defensive buildings.

It seems we can't rush the rankings.

At this moment, the intelligent butler Xiaofu slowly walked up and reported, "Master, while you were conducting your first test in the Ziwei Battlefield, your friend Pei Shaogong sent you a message urging you to go to the gate of Ziwei Academy as soon as possible. They are already waiting for you there."

"Okay, send them a message saying I'll be there soon."

"Yes," Xiaofu replied, then retreated to a corner.

…………

Ten minutes later, at the gate of Ziwei Academy.

"Brother Lu, you've finally arrived! How did it go? What was your ranking in the first test of the Ziwei Battlefield?"

As soon as Lu Sheng arrived at the gate and met up with the four of them, Pei Shaogong immediately came up to him and asked with great curiosity.

"2293 million," Lu Sheng said truthfully.

"What?! 2293 million?!" Pei Shaogong exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Brother Lu, you're amazing! I've been a demigod for almost three months and only barely made it into the top 20 million. You just broke into demigod status a month ago, and you've already achieved this ranking!"

Gu Qinghan and Fu Qing, the brother and sister, showed subtle changes in their expressions and gazes towards Lu Sheng.

Their rankings are all higher than Lu Sheng's, especially Fu Qing, who is the strongest among the five. He is now a second-stage demigod and ranks fifteen millionth on the [Prodigy Ranking].

Judging by the rankings alone, Lu Sheng is indeed the weakest and least talented among them.

But that's not actually how it's calculated.

Apart from Lu Sheng, which of the four of them wasn't from one of the super families of Great Xia?

The resources acquired, the environment, the strategic resources within the small world, the defensive structures—where could Lu Sheng, from a remote planet, possibly compare?

In addition, the time it took each of them to break through was one or two months longer than Lu Sheng's, nearly sixty years of development time, and the number of fifth-level citizens in the Divine Kingdom was far greater than that of Lu Sheng.

Yet, even under such circumstances, Lu Sheng was not much inferior to them.

If they come from the same background, the outcome is still uncertain.

Gu Qinghan praised him generously: "Brother Lu is exceptionally talented. It just so happens that three super families on Ziwei Star issue investment contracts to the geniuses of Ziwei Academy every year. If you can join them, you might be able to break into the top ten million of the [Genius Ranking] by your sophomore year."

Fu Qing, who was usually aloof and didn't like to talk much, nodded: "Based on this situation, we can form an army in our second year and conquer the alien demigods together."

Even Fu Jingjing, who initially looked down on Lu Sheng because of his background, now straightened her attitude and put away her contempt.

On the warship of Ziwei Academy, the decision to win over Lu Sheng, a newly promoted Class A candidate, was more or less due to the inability to recruit other more outstanding Class A candidates.

But now, they are truly placing Lu Sheng on an equal footing with them.

Sensing the subtle change in the atmosphere among them, Lu Sheng smiled slightly, not caring.

Ultimately, there are no true friends in this world. Seemingly strong relationships are often just based on sufficient mutual interests.

This made Lu Sheng miss Zhao Mingjian.

That guy was straightforward and easygoing, and we got along very well.

It's been half a month since the college entrance exam, and the scores should be out by now. I wonder if he got into Fangtian University?

As for Li Yang, who had previously regarded him as his lifelong enemy, he had long since forgotten about him.

"Brother Lu, now that Ziwei Star has passed its peak, haven't any companies or families extended offers to you? A genius from a small planet like you is exactly what they'd like to recruit," Pei Shaogong said with a smile.

"With your talent, you should be careful when recruiting other forces besides the three super families on Ziwei Star, as there are quite a few scammers among them."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Pei. I will pay attention."

Lu Sheng looked on with anticipation: "Compared to the company's recruitment efforts, I'm more interested in what Ziwei's trading area looks like."

"Haha, then Brother Lu will have quite a show to see!"

"Let's go, I've hailed a taxi, let's go to the trading area together. With our status as top-tier candidate prodigies, those merchants probably won't dare to rip us off..."
