Chapter 138: Chapter 96: Creating My Own Position! I, Chen Chang’an, Am A Super Genius!_3
"As a prominent figure in the divine court now, my friend, you should have one."
"Within the token lies the location of our Taiyi Sect."
"From now on, with this token, you can freely enter and exit our Taiyi Sect, without any restrictions."
Chen Chang’an looked at the token handed to him and found that there are words carved on both sides.
On the front are four gilded letters: "External Affairs Elder."
And on the back, there is a line of small letters:
"Central Continent Divine Court, Chang Ge - Great Cultivator!"
Upon seeing the words "External Affairs Elder" on the token, Chen Chang’an wasn’t surprised in the least.
Almost every divine court Night God has such an identity.
However, except for divinities in the upper divine court, the rest of the night gods can only be called ’External Affairs Executors’
Simplistically put, it is a symbol of status.
Besides symbolizing status, this token has another use.
It keeps track of the holder’s contribution score.
This contribution score, also known as Taiyi Contribution Score, is something that the Taiyi Sect issues to all Night Gods of the divine court.
Every disciple of the Taiyi Sect or Night God of the divine court, who completes a task issued by the Taiyi Sect, earns relevant contribution scores.
The contribution score can be exchanged for various items in the grand hall of the Taiyi Sect, including as high as Seventh Realm legacies or Eighth Realm items, or can be directly converted into Dao Source Stones.
In general, it is a reward-rich system where the capable earn more. It’s one of the ways the Taiyi Sect motivates the divine court to work.
At this moment, the Dao Master of Fire spoke. He looked at Chen Chang’an and said:
"Just so you know, the list of tasks on the identity token will be updated regularly every month."
"If you want to accept any task, you’ll only need to slide and click on it with divine sense. Similarly, the rewards for the tasks will also be directly awarded in the form of contribution points, without you needing to come back to the headquarters."
"Of course, if you have any task you want to issue, you can also issue your own tasks. The currency required to issue tasks is contribution points, and the amount required will depend on the grading of the task you are issuing."
"I understand. Thank you, Master Dao." Chen Chang’an nodded and performed a bow.
The Dao Master of Fire and his companion also bowed to Chen Chang’an and said:
"Dear Chang Ge, we eagerly anticipate our next meeting."
Then they exited the grand hall.
After leaving the grand hall, instead of leaving immediately, Chen Chang’an went to the Taiyi Sect’s inner yard.
He headed directly to their library.
He had been yearning to visit the library of the Taiyi Sect for quite some time now.
Since he made it there, he decided to make the most of it.
Considering Taiyi Sect’s resources, perhaps he will be able to procure a few new "Royal Uncles" to add to his collection.
Meanwhile in the grand hall, after Chen Chang’an left, Jun Yang Daoist Master looked at the Dao Master of Fire with a perplexed expression.
He asked:
"Elder brother, I don’t understand."
"I don’t understand why a divine lord without a shard of the Heavenly Fate, would be worth your courteous treatment."
"Is there something I don’t know?"
Indeed, Jun Yang Daoist Master was bemused.
Heavenly Fate is a special status that some talented Night Gods develop after stepping into the Seventh Realm. Similar to a Great Cultivator’s Heavenly Dao imprint, it possesses great power.
However, the difference lies in the fact that the Heavenly Fate can be inherited.
It’s usually passed on a degradation basis.
The Heavenly Fate of the past divine Supreme Master was high in the hierarchy. Logically, his successor should at least have a medium-tier Heavenly Fate, or at the very least a lower-tier Heavenly Fate.
But something that baffled Jun Yang Daoist Master was his inability to detect the slightest scent of Heavenly Fate on the newly appointed Supreme Cultivator.
As a Daoist Master with the eighth stage cultivation, he had the confidence that there was no Heavenly Fate in the world that could evade his discernment.
Since he didn’t detect any, it could only mean one thing!
The new Supreme Cultivator, Chang Ge, doesn’t have the Heavenly Fate!
Could his inheritance of the previous Supreme Dao person’s Dao have resulted in a failure?
Immediately, Jun Yang Daoist Master thought of this possibility.
A failed inheritance of a Night God is not impossible.
Every Dao in the world has those it bonds with. If you forcefully combine a person with a Dao they are not in tune with, the result would be incomplete or failed fusion.
What’s worse, it could even cause one’s death and the vanishing of their Dao.
Death, with their Dao ceasing to exist!
True death in every sense of the word!
"No, junior brother, you are mistaken."
However, in response to Jun Yang Daoist Master’s doubts, the Dao Master of Fire shook his head.
He slowly spoke:
"It’s true that you didn’t sense any Heavenly Fate on him, but junior brother, didn’t you notice something else: He doesn’t have the Dao of Dao Master God Magnificent on him."
"What? Dao Master God Magnificent’s Dao isn’t on him?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yang Daoist Master exclaimed in shock.
He looked incredulously at the Dao Master of Fire, trying to see if his senior was joking.
"Indeed, he doesn’t have the Dao of Dao Master God Magnificent."
Under Jun Yang Daoist Master’s confused gaze, the Dao Master of Fire affirmed once again.
Then he went on to say:
"When I first met Chang Ge Dao Lord in the grand hall, I had the same query as you."
"I also thought his inheritance of Dao Master God Magnificent’s Dao had failed."
"However, upon closer observation, I found something abnormal."
"It’s not that he doesn’t have a status, he does, it’s just not of Dao Master God Magnificent."
"Isn’t of the Dao Master God Magnificent?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yang Daoist Master was taken aback, as he seemed to understand it.
"Elder Brother, do you mean he fractured Dao Master God Magnificent’s status and created his own?"
"Yes, I indeed felt the aura of a new status on him." The Dao Master of Fire nodded.
Then he looked in the direction where Chen Chang’an had left, and spoke literally:
"This disciple is acceptable, he is indeed a peerless genius of our Dao. If we get a chance in the future, we must try to take him into our Taiyi Sect."
"A grand era is about to dawn, backed by our nurturing, he could develop into a pillar of our Dao, standing solitary amidst all."
"Even, if nurtured well, even in the face of Emperor Song of the Rebirth Hall, he might be able to hold his own!"
"Good!"
Jun Yang Daoist Master nodded happily upon hearing this. The Dao Master of Fire was expressing his own hopes as well.
Because a genius who created his own status indeed had this potential!
But then, Jun Yang Daoist Master seemed to recall something. He expressed his own concern to the Dao Master of Fire:
"However, Elder Brother, could this Chang Ge Daoist possibly be a spy from the Demon Gate?"
"I have this strange feeling as if he allowed us to find out about his lack of status on purpose."
"Junior brother, that’s simply impossible!"
On hearing Jun Yang Daoist Master’s words, the Dao Master of Fire adamantly shook his head.
Then he spoke with affirmation:
"Junior brother, do you know this Night God mask is a transformation of the Dao legacy passed down by our Saint of Taiyi Sect? None, except those from our sect, can decipher it."
"Unless that person practises thousands and millions of divine skills and has profound knowledge of each till at least the Sixth Realm stage. However, my brother, do you think that’s possible?"
