“Good kid! You’re really something. In the blink of an eye, you’re already above us.”
Ye Qiu’s expression was very calm, but Gu Sanqiu and the others beside him were not. Originally, Ye Qiu was just a junior to them. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, his status would surpass theirs?
Deity? What was that thing? That was an existence that was on par with the Heaven Mending Goddess and the Heaven Mending Saintess. Usually, only geniuses with heaven-defying potential could obtain such honor. His final potential could only be obtained after breaking through to the Dao Sacrificial realm.
Up until now, the position of the Heaven Mending Pavilion’s Deity had never been bestowed to anyone. Only Ming Yue could obtain the position of Saintess. She was the only person who could obtain this position in so many years.
Everyone present knew very well how Ming Yue obtained this honor back then.
She had relied on her terrifying combat strength to fight her way up from Star Picking Pavilion under the pressure of the elders. She had beaten up almost all the elders before barely obtaining this honor.
And Ye Qiu actually obtained the position of the Deity without any test.
This strange reaction stunned the elders. However, this decree was issued by Meng Tianzheng, so they naturally wouldn’t question it. This was because he would definitely not make a mistake in what he had decided on, and there was no need for anyone to question it.
They knew very well that Meng Tianzheng never did things based on his mood. It was all considered after careful consideration. He thought that Ye Qiu was worthy of this position, which meant that he really had the potential.
“Good kid! I couldn’t tell. At first, I thought you were just a lucky chosen one. I didn’t expect your potential to be so astonishing.”
After carefully observing and feeling the incomparably domineering power in Ye Qiu’s body, Gu Sanqiu was also shocked. If Meng Tianzheng hadn’t suddenly announced the decree, they wouldn’t have noticed Ye Qiu’s terrifying heaven-defying potential.
This momentum did not seem to be much inferior to Ming Yue back then. If there was another test, under the suppression of the realm, they might be beaten up by Ye Qiu again, just like Ming Yue back then.
“Hehe, Senior, you flatter me.” Ye Qiu smiled humbly. He didn’t show any pride and had always been very humble.
This performance made many people look at him in a different light. Gu Sanqiu even smiled in relief.
“Not bad, not bad. Not arrogant or rash. You’re a person who can do great things. However, you can’t call me Senior anymore. Your status is different now. You just need to call me Elder Gu.”
At this point, Gu Sanqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Originally, he felt that Ye Qiu’s character was not bad and his aptitude was excellent. He even wanted to take him in as a disciple. From the looks of it, this thought was going to be ruined.
As the Heaven Mending Deity, he did not need any master. His master was only the sky above his head. This was because if a genius of his level blindly acknowledged a master, then his teacher’s height would determine his height. Not only would it not help him, but it would also harm him.
At his level, the laws of heaven and earth were all in his heart, but it depended on comprehension. He could comprehend the Dao and transcend himself without anyone’s guidance.
Meng Tianzheng looked at Ye Qiu with satisfaction and liked him even more. This child’s talent was not inferior to Ming Yue’s back then, and he had a huge karma with Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu. If he was nurtured well, his future would be limitless.
Therefore, he decided to give Ye Qiu the honor of being the Heaven Mending Deity. That was the highest honor in the Heaven Mending Pavilion. His status was even above many elders.
“Ye Qiu, this is the Deity’s token! Take it. From today onwards, you are the most sacred Deity of Heaven Mending Pavilion. From now on, your every word and action will represent my Heaven Mending Pavilion. I hope you will speak and act carefully in the future and consider carefully.”
The First Elder said extremely solemnly. It could be seen how solemn this token was.
Ye Qiu stopped smiling and took a step forward to take the token. “Don’t worry, First Elder. I will definitely not disappoint everyone.”
“Agreed. From now on, you will enjoy the highest honor and treatment of my Heaven Mending Pavilion. I hope you will cultivate well and not neglect your cultivation.”
After a few simple greetings, Meng Tianzheng no longer had anything to say. He instructed Gu Sanqiu to bring Ye Qiu into the forbidden area and then entered seclusion. Now that he was full of vitality and had time to break through to the supreme realm again, how could he let it go?
The surrounding people did not want to disturb him and left the top floor one after another.
In a daze, Ye Qiu was brought away from the Star Picking Pavilion by Gu Sanqiu and walked towards the forbidden area behind the divine mountain.
Ye Qiu felt dizzy and didn’t know what happened until he left Star Picking Pavilion. He had unknowingly become the Heaven Mending Deity. He took out the token and sized it up.
In an instant, countless gazes were attracted over.
“Deity’s token!”
“This… Who is this kid? He actually obtained our Heaven Mending Pavilion’s highest honor, the Deity Token?”
For a moment, everyone cultivating in the mountains was shocked by this token and looked over.
“Impossible. For millions of years, only Senior Sister Ming Yue can break the legends of history and obtain the Heaven Mending Saintess Token.”
“Who is he? What right does he have to have a Deity Token?”
In an instant, news of someone taking the position of the Heaven Mending Deity spread throughout the entire Heaven Mending Pavilion.
When everyone heard this news, they could not accept it. Because that was the honor they had chased after their entire lives.
Who was Ye Qiu? He was an incomparably unfamiliar face. He had silently obtained this Deity Token without any test. Clearly, this action instantly attracted the dissatisfaction of countless people.
Why? How could he obtain the token? Was it because he was strong enough? Or was it because he had only obtained the First Elder’s recognition?
No matter what the reason was, his sitting in this position attracted the dissatisfaction of many people.
On the way, Ye Qiu seemed to gradually discover this. He suddenly felt that the token in his hand had become a hot potato.
“Good lord! So this isn’t an honor token, but a battle token.”
The corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth twitched. He felt like he had been tricked.
Ming Yue had relied on her own strength to fight her way up with this token. No one was unconvinced. Because those who were unconvinced had already been beaten into submission by her.
And Ye Qiu had inexplicably obtained the token without passing any tests. His strength was unknown, so it would definitely attract the dissatisfaction of others. indirectly, he might encounter many challenges.
Meng Tianzheng’s move was to push him into the abyss and become the target of everyone. He was an existence that everyone wanted to challenge.
“I think I’ve been tricked.”
