Since there were very few people in line, Sebastian didn't wait long before it was his turn. After reluctantly paying the price of 5,000 Star Points, Sebastian walked in. Inside, someone led and took Sebastian to an empty room.
After pushing the door, Sebastian's eyes lit up. There is a bright, starry sky. This made his body and mind relax unconsciously. In this unique space, Simulation training can be carried out. Of course, this simulation refers to extracting Traits, rather than a simulation of Planetary Promotion, which is the assessment of the Awakening Space, and it is impossible to simulate. Sebastian started his simulation journey.
It took a whole 30,000 star points and six training sessions before he roughly figured out the Traits that he can extract. Pikachu electricity, of course, there is no doubt. As for the others, some cannot be extracted, but most are ok. As for the weapons of the Astra Militarum, that is what he is most concerned about. However, somewhat unexpectedly...
"So it is." Sebastian's face was a little weird. He can't imagine the fact that this has come to be, but he was not so worried about the subsequent Planetary Upgrade Assessment anymore.
"Can I go to the Planetary Promotion now?" Sebastian exhaled, but just in case, for the rest of the time, Sebastian continued to hone his Supernatural Traits.
Time passed, and soon a month passed by with Sebastian spending a total of 150,000 points on simulation training. Sebastian suddenly received a message from Miss Este to inform him to come back. So he got onto his spaceship and went to the Island again. Unlike last time, this time, the old man in black, who is the housekeeper, is already waiting outside.
"The master is in the estate; you can just walk over there." The old man said with a smile, and his attitudes are markedly different.
Sebastian nodded slightly. He crossed the water with ease and entered the estate. It is still the same layout as last time, with running water underfoot, and in front is the blue and white throne. Este sat on the throne, but he still couldn't see her face.
"Greeting, Sensei," Sebastian said.
"How is your preparation now?" Este asked straight to the point.
"It's almost ready," Sebastian replied.
"That's good." Este nodded slightly and said, "Stay here for a few days and leave when the Planet is going to be promoted." Sebastian did not object, as the Island is even better than the ordinary Star Island.
"Good." Este paused, looked at Sebastian, and said, "There is one thing you may want to know."
"Please, Sensei."
"You should know that within the Endless Star Territory, it is not just a superpower like the Star Council," Este said.
Sebastian nodded. The Endless Star Territory is almost limitless. The Council of Stars is just a behemoth that controls a part of its territory. Outside the Council of the Stars, there are other superpowers out there.
"Like the Stars Competition, other superpowers also hold similar battles." Este's voice was cold and ethereal, and he said, "This year's newcomers have materialized many geniuses. A few of these talents are so excessive that it is possible to challenge the Eternal Difficulty."
Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
"But it's only a possibility." Este smiled and said, "Every few years, there will be such a statement, and in the end, none of the challenges succeeded. You prepare well, and don't stress too much."
Sebastian immediately said goodbye and left.
"Sensei seems to be locked on me." Sebastian thought while walking, but he didn't care. It's his teacher, so she absolutely won't hurt him. On the Island, Sebastian found a place at random and continued to evolve Greater Terra.
Three days passed by, and quickly came the day of the Planetary Promotion. Sebastian bid farewell to Este and took a spaceship to return to the square. Inside the square at this time, it is already crowded. Sebastian glanced at the Planet Panel, and there was quite a distance from last time. It seems to have undergone a lot of changes.
[ Planet Name: Greater Terra ]
[ Planet Level: 2 ]
[ Planet Diameter: 8,135 kilometers ]
[ Planet Species: 2,492 ]
[ Planet Talent: Eternal ]
The diameter has only just passed 8,000 kilometers, but with such a size, who dares to come to participate in the Promotion of the Planet? But Sebastian felt there was no need to wait any longer; the present combat power was sufficient to cope with various assessments.
"Sebastian, you are here." A familiar voice sounded.
Sebastian turned his head to look, and it was Kong, Shia, Aiya, and others. Everyone's goal is very consistent, that is to pass the Difficulty of the Great Myth Level.
"You are here too." Sebastian greeted with a smile.
"A little nervous." Kong let out a sigh of relief and said, "If I accidentally fail the Great Myth Difficulty, it will be awkward."
"With your strength, there should be no problem." Aiya laughed.
"Just in case." Kong shook his head and said, "I read the previous records, there is no 100% success rate for this kind of thing. Talent falls to the Small Myth Level, the Legendary Level, and even the Epic Level."
"Small probability event." Aiya comforted: "In the end, it depends on how you prepare yourself?"
"This Level 2 Promotion to the Level 3, compared to before, has one advantage, which is that..." Kong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry about the fall, especially our group."
Everyone smiled slightly. Level 2 to Level 3 Promotion Assessment is different from Level 1 to Level 2, but they are the most talented group.
"Instead of worrying about this, why not consider whether to challenge the Eternal Difficulty?" Aiya said with a smile.
"Eternal Difficulty!?" Hearing these three words, everyone was slightly startled.
Kong immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not even sure about the Great Myth Level, but the Eternal Level? This should be reserved for you monsters. It has nothing to do with me."
"No, no." Aiya also shook his head and said, "It doesn't have much to do with me either, or rather, it doesn't have much to do with us. In the past, no one has beaten the Eternal Difficulty, even those peerless geniuses who can leave a name in history have not been able to do it. This time, it's not that..." Kong hesitated for a moment, then said: "Is there any other power that has produced many geniuses who are not born in this world?"
"They say that every year." Aiya smiled and said, "But the geniuses that are passed down every year are all failures in the end."
Shia shook her head and said, "This time is not necessarily true."
"Oh?" Both Kong and Aiya looked at Shia suspiciously.
"Have you forgotten that when you were promoted to level 2, someone had already passed the Eternal Difficulty that is considered unprecedented?" Shia explained: "If it is this unknown genius, it is very likely to pass again."
Hearing this, Kong, Aiya, and the others all frowned slightly.
"Up to now, about this genius, we still don't know his origin or identity." Aiya frowned and said.
Huo Kong said, "If it were a hostile force, they would have taken it out and bragged."
"Geniuses of this level will be more cautious." Aiya said solemnly, "I hope not; otherwise, in the future, I will be overwhelmed by this pressure."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. The assessment is about to start." Just like last time, this time, the Level 2 to Level 3 Planet Promotion Assessment is also the entire Endless Star Territory. They started at the same time, but the exact time is uncertain.
Time passed. When it is ten minutes before the test, the countdown appears. The sound in the square gradually disappeared and finally became silent. The tension in the air started to rise little by little.
Although there is no risk of falling, there is the possibility of talent falling. And this is the first time they participate in the assessment as a Planetary Lord, so this makes everyone have to be cautious.
In this unprecedented silence, after about 20 minutes, Sebastian awakens in a space. A row of numbers appeared; it was a countdown, and it was decreasing.
"Come on." Kong clenched his fist toward Sebastian and the others. Sebastian and several others also show their fists.
Finally, after the countdown is over, everyone felt a flower in front of them. Look again and discover that it's the same as the last Promotion Test. Surrounded by a void and turbid space, while only by yourself. During the Planetary Promotion Mission, this is a measure taken by Awakening Space to protect the Planetary Lord.
Sebastian probed his consciousness into the awakening space. In the awakening space at this moment, an extra line of text has been added.
[ The Planetary Promotion Assessment has officially started. Please be prepared. The assessment difficulty will be divided into eight levels. Respectively: Normal, Elite, Commander, King, Epic, Legendary, Myth, and Eternal. ]
[ On the right side of the Myth level, there is also a parenthesis. There are two more options in parentheses: Minor Myth and Great Myth. If it fails, this examination will end. There is only one chance. Please take good care, Planetary Lords, the assessment will start timing in one minute. ]
The remainder of the awakening space this time is a little more human, not the same as last time. This time, there is no such frozen atmosphere, so Sebastian's mood is naturally extremely relaxed.
A minute is fleeting before Sebastian felt a flower in front of him, and he was transported to an open space. There is still nothingness all around.
"Challenger, I've been waiting for you." A sharp voice sounded.
Sebastian turned his head to look, and he saw a black-clothed man with an extremely ordinary face, but there was a strong aura about him.
"Are you an examiner of Normal Difficulty?" Sebastian looked at the man in black and asked.
"Yes." The black-clothed man's eyes flashed sharply, and he said, "If you want to pass this Difficulty, then defeat me first."
The man in black holds a large blade in his hand, and he rushes toward Sebastian. He is very fast. With the pressure from the man, Sebastian can judge that the other party is a Peak Level 2 Planetary Lord.
"He is a Martial Artist?" Sebastian saw the movement and momentum of the man; he made a preliminary guess in his mind. But no doubt, Normal Difficulty won't be too difficult.
A light flashed, and the man in black immediately dodged to the side. Sebastian continued to emit an electric light and hit the sword, which was smashed into pieces. This is the result of Sebastian's extraction of the Traits of Pikachu. With another flash of light, the man was unable to escape this time and was electrocuted.
Boom-! His whole body became a piece of char and fell.
At the same time, a prompt appeared in the awakening space, [ Normal difficulty, Pass. ]
Sebastian was not surprised. Normal Difficulty for people like Sebastian is too simple. The scene before him changed, and Sebastian found himself in another field. Not quite the same as just now.
"Challenger, I've been waiting for you." A man's voice sounded.
Sebastian looked ahead and saw a man in blue. Unlike the man in black just now, the man in the blue shirt is thin. At first glance, it is impossible to be a Martial Artist, Energy User, Fighter, or other melee power superhuman.
"You can pass the Normal Level, so your strength must be quite good." The man stared at Sebastian and said, "But if you want to beat me, it's still a long way off."
After the voice fell, the man in blue also started instantly. He saw the blue man's eyes move slightly, and suddenly, dozens of sharp flying knives flew out toward Sebastian.
"Psychics?" Sebastian immediately determined that the man could use mental power to manipulate various objects. Throwing knives are the most common weapons used by psychics.
Dozens of flying knives, all shot at Sebastian's fall with a crash, sounded continuous. Sebastian was fine because he was wearing the armor taken from Terra. This time, Sebastian could have shot and killed the man, but he wanted to try the defensive effect of this new version of armor.
"Not bad." Sebastian glanced at the armor. It can withstand several waves of these flying knives, but there is no need. The next moment, Sebastian launched a counterattack.
Seeing that Sebastian is safe and sound, the man was slightly taken aback. When the light flashes, he wants to dodge, but the action is very slow. This is also a weakness of the Psychics; their physique is not strong. It is incomparable to Martial Artists, Fighters, or other melee-power superhumans. After the Electric light falls, it kills the man.
A reminder appeared in the awakening space at the same time, [ Elite difficulty, Pass. ]
A flower appeared in front of him, and the surrounding scene changed again. This time it turned into a snowfield, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Fortunately, Sebastian was wearing the armor, so he was not much affected.
"Challenger, here you are." A voice sounded.
Sebastian looked forward. The examiner this time was a thin woman holding a magic scepter in her hand. He can see without guessing that this woman is a Magician. Sebastian could feel it, from the Normal Level to the current level, the Difficulty of the examination is getting quite harder. If he is replaced with an average Level 2 Planetary Lord, they might not even get past this.
"You can overcome the aforementioned difficulties, which speak of your strength, but..." The female Magician looked at Sebastian and said, "Here, you will be defeated by the great magic."
Sebastian became impatient. This time, it was Sebastian's turn to take the initiative to attack. An electric light shot out and went straight to the Magician. But she seems to be well prepared; she waved her wand in her hand, and immediately, a cloud of ice condensed in the air and blocked the light.
Boom-! Electric light can only blast this piece of ice apart.
"Challenger, your methods are ineffective against me." The female Magician said to Sebastian with a calm expression.
"There's plenty more where that came from." Sebastian stopped the electric attack and started using High-Tech weapons from the Astra Militarum.
