The Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da was majestic to the extreme, with ten thousand levels. Each level was like an independent world, with its own special characteristics.

The bottom level was the widest, as it was the location of the entrance as well.

On the docks, countless s.p.a.ce shuttles could be seen everywhere. From above, it looked like a stretch of blackness.

An energy gate could be seen next to the parked s.p.a.ce shuttles, obstructing people from entering freely.

A long line of people was queueing outside the gate. They were clad in all sorts of attires as they came from different places of the universe. Some of them wore tight-fitting armor, some in beast skin resembling primordial people, some clad in long robes with yellow skin and black hair. The latter were like the people of ancient Huaxia…

Humanity spread through the entire Milky Way Galaxy and had several thousand years of history. According to the changes in the environment, their lifestyles and traditions all naturally changed drastically.

Moreover, each planet and star region had developed societal structures that were filled with their own special characteristics.

Therefore, these people all had different origins, from various planets of the Milky Way Galaxy. Yet, all of them were gathered at the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da now. This scene was extremely majestic.

What sort of location was the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da exactly to be able to attract so many people over?

….

He could faintly sense that the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da wasn’t something so simple as a coliseum.

Feng Lin mixed within the long line of people, queueing as he silently mused.

He was completely unfamiliar with the things here. Although he knew much information about this place, it was a given that he wouldn’t know the minor details.

“Father, mother, I’m so hungry!”

From within the crowd, the sobs of a young child rang out.

Feng Lin turned his gaze over and saw a young couple consoling their child. The young man had a st.u.r.dy body and his vitality stat could be considered high, above 300. He was an elite cultivator.

The young woman was much weaker; she had only recently awakened a basic gene.

“I’m hungry…”

Becoming anxious after waiting for a long time, the child started crying because of hunger. The couple might be cultivators and had awakened mythological genes, yet they were helpless to do anything at this moment.

This was clearly a cultivation couple in dire straits…

When he saw the situation, Feng Lin’s heart couldn’t help but be stirred. He pushed out with his palm as three round sugar pills appeared in his hands. These were the by-products of his concoction.

In truth, given Feng Lin’s current status, it was impossible for him to take out any ordinary stuff.

The sugar pills were concocted from various spiritual medicinal herbs and emitted fragrance.

The attention of the child was instantly attracted. His gaze couldn’t s.h.i.+ft away as the light of drool could be seen glowing from the corner of his mouth.

(This fragrance?)

The expression of the young man changed when he smelled this.

However, his child was innately pure and innocent. He had already taken one sugar pill from Feng Lin’s palm and ate it.

The young man wanted to stop his child, but all of a sudden, he seemed to have sensed something and decided to retract his hand.

The sugar pill melted the instant it entered the child’s stomach, transforming into currents of warmth.

A smile appeared on the child’s face as he called out loudly, “Father, mother, this sweet is so delicious. I feel warmth in my stomach; it is extremely comfortable!”

A wave of heat emitted from the child’s body as his vitality stat began to increase rapidly.

As the child was still so young, he had no way to understand the changes his body was going through.

As for the elite cultivator that was the child’s father, how could he not understand what just happened? His child must have consumed some genetic pills. By just eating a sugar pill, his child’s vitality stat actually broken past 10 points. The possibility of his child becoming a cultivator in the future had increased greatly.

And all of this stemmed from that tiny sugar pill from this unknown man’s palm.

Staring at the smiling Feng Lin, the father was slightly shocked. His gaze changed, revealing respect and reverence.

This young man before him was absolutely not ordinary. His vitality stat was immensely powerful, exuding an invisible sense of pressure as heavy as mountains and as vast as the abyss.

How strong was he exactly?

(Why have I never heard of him before? Could it be an old monster who reverted to youth after cultivating in seclusion for a long time?)

…

The young father had countless speculations in his heart, yet he didn’t know that the energy waves he was emitting unconsciously were already captured in Feng Lin’s perception.

However, Feng Lin didn’t correct him despite having read his thoughts. He merely asked, “Can I ask you something? Why are you guys queueing up here?”

The man was startled for a moment before he recovered. He replied cautiously, “Sir, we are waiting to enter the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da to look for clues about our future cultivation path.”

“Searching for clues about your future cultivation path? What do you mean?” Feng Lin curiously asked.

The judgment of this young elite cultivator was extraordinary; he could tell that this was Feng Lin’s first time here. He then honestly shared what he knew, not having any intentions to hide things.

“The myths and legends of the past are in bits and pieces. Moreover, we are merely unaffiliated cultivators, so it’s simply too difficult for us to cultivate and we can only proceed forward blindly. We know that the risk is great. Yet, mythological knowledge is the most valuable treasure in the world. Thus, we can only find our future cultivation path by entering the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da. There are records in ancient times saying that there’s a divine paG.o.da named the Starry Babylon Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da which connected the mortal world to the divine realm. Even for mortals, as long as they can climb the paG.o.da, they would gain the qualifications to transcend into sainthood and gain the opportunity to evolve into something greater. And as for this Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da, it gathers all cultivators from the universe so that they would be able to find a path that leads to the great Dao. For cultivators who entered, they would obtain points in the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da as well as star coins for every level they pa.s.sed. They can then use the star coins to exchange for cultivation resources. To us unaffiliated cultivators with no teachers to guide us and no backgrounds to depend on, if we want to continue advancing on our cultivation path, this is the only way remaining for us!”

As the elite cultivator spoke, an unprecedented expression of reverence appeared on his face gradually.

So this was the case!

Feng Lin also didn’t expect that the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da would have such power.

This point wasn’t brought up in the information senior sister Zhao sent him. Maybe, she didn’t care about this small detail.

Because, there was almost everything in the Great Wall University. The best cultivation resources in the universe could also be found there. As long as one had enough contribution points, they could exchange for anything they wanted in the human world.

He silently rejoiced at his fortune of being able to enter one of the top ten universities. If not, he might have been the same as these people, traveling across s.p.a.ce to bitterly search for cultivation resources.

However, he couldn’t help but admit that the person who constructed the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da was truly an extremely capable person with great ambitions.

Gathering the cultivators of the universe in one place, and let them kill each other to determine the final victor.

The victor became the king and would obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, growing stronger than ever.

The strong grow stronger while the weak grow weaker.

This was a cla.s.sic example of a Gu nurturing tactic!

Each cultivator was like a gu bug; they would kill each other while the victor took all, continuing to climb the genetic ladder and walking all the way to the end of their path.

This was the true meaning behind the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da.

The starry Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da formed, yet what it wanted to search for was the invisible and formless path that allowed one to reach the heavens—the path of mythological genes.

…

“All these people are actually here to enter the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da? Why are they blocked from entering?” Feng Lin pointed to the surroundings and involuntarily asked.

That cultivator smiled bitterly. “People like us have no status and background, so it isn’t so easy to gain a slot to enter the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da. We can only enter the lowest level and have to queue repeatedly day after day. Only those people with wealthy backgrounds or great statuses can have special privileges and enter or leave the paG.o.da freely!”

…

From his words, Feng Lin finally knew many details regarding the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da.

The ten thousand-level-tall starry paG.o.da wasn’t built just for the height alone. It was also considered layers of cla.s.s division.

The higher one’s status and the stronger one’s cultivation was, the higher the level they could ascend to. The people here would be split into different grades.

The universe was simply too vast with too many humans. It was impossible for there to be true equality.

For genetic cultivators, their strength came from their vitality stats.

The great disparity in vitality stat caused the boundary between humans at the upper and lower level to be greater than two different races.

How could there be equality for the eagle in the sky and the ant crawling on the ground?

It just wasn’t possible

The so-called equal treatment was relative. There was only equal treatment for those on the same level!

After Feng Lin walked out of the solar system, he directly entered the Great Wall University and had never roamed other places in the universe before.

However, he had experienced the cruelty of the universe, and his act of concealing his strength earlier seemed to be somewhat naive now.

Since he was a tiger, why must he pretend to be a cat?

A smile appeared on Feng Lin’s face. He controlled his id microchip and sent his information over.

Very soon, the energy gate of the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da suddenly trembled as it began to open.

A cultivator akin to a soldier that was clad in mecha armor walked over, leading a group of people and robots. The people who were queueing up were all extremely shocked and hurriedly gave way.

“Could it be…” Upon seeing the guards of the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da walking over, the young father wasn’t foolish enough to think that the guards came here to look for him. He stared at Feng Lin in a daze.

Although he thought he had already overestimated Feng Lin by thinking that he was a powerful grand cultivator, right now it seemed that even after his overestimation, he had still underestimated Feng Lin.

“May I ask if you are Major Feng Lin from the Great Wall University?” The guard in the lead directly walked over and asked solemnly.

“I am.”

“So it’s a valued guest from afar. Please feel free to enter.” That guard’s expression turned even more serious after he heard that. The crowd instantly parted, opening up a pathway for Feng Lin to walk through.

Feng Lin smiled and walked forward.

That young father stood dazedly at his original location. When he looked at the mysterious cultivator entering the Heaven Reaching PaG.o.da under the escort of the guards, he silently clenched his fist.

“Major Feng Lin from the Great Wall University?”

“That’s how cultivators should be!”
