Chapter 5: Book of Creation

"Who is that guy?" Lucius exclaimed in shock.

The doors that were tightly shut had opened up widely. An individual was wearing golden clothes. The man had long hair and a beautiful face. His eyes were blue.

The man started to walk towards the three inspectors, the moment he started to walk towards them without a care in the world. The doors behind him closed up automatically.

"He is not an ordinary guy since he can open up the doors" Lucius exclaimed.

He turned his attention to the inspector and silently observed.

The three inspectors had a frown on their faces. They scanned him from head to toe.

"May I know who you are?" The person who made the announcement asked politely.

He didn't dare rashly act since he had the authority to open the Door of the trial. Only a few in the kingdom can open them at will.

The guy didn't reply, he put his hand in his pocket. A second later, he took out a small Blue badge.

He showed it to the three inspectors, the moment the inspector saw the badge, their faces were covered in disbelief.

"I am an envoy from the Divine Kingdom, I have come here under the will of his majesty, the Emperor to inspect the Divinity exams. You may call me John" The envoy replied to them.

The badge was the symbol that represented an envoy of the Divine Kingdom.

"Please come here Senior John and honor us by standing beside us," Longan said in a respectful tone.

John then walked towards the inspector as he put the badge on.

"Divine Kingdom, huh" Lucius thought

The Divine Kingdom is the capital of the human domain, the leader and strongest person of the human domain, the emperor resides there with the highest-ranking officials of the human domain.

It's said that 70 percent of peak Divinity resides there.

Lucius looked around him and saw the morale of the people around him had dropped significantly after the arrival of the envoy.

"It's probably because they think the standard of passing the exam will be higher with envoys here," Lucius exclaimed.

He spotted Xin, Zoe, and Luca, their morales seemed to be even higher than before.

"Well, they are progdies so there are exceptions. Regardless no matter how hard the evaluation exams will be, I will surely pass" Lucius exclaimed, brimming with confidence.

A few seconds later, a powerful voice resounded through his and everyone's ears.

"The first round of the evaluation exams will begin now. I will now begin to explain the rules of the first round" Longan announced.

When the announcement was made, there was nervousness on the face of all the people participating.

Some lips were trembling in nervousness, while some eyes had turned cold. There were only a few people who didn't show any nervousness.

"It's soon starting" Lucius exclaimed as he tightened the grip on his sword.

"The rules and contents of the exam are fairly simple, you all just have to fight with D-grade Divinities who are on the left when your name is called to the best of your abilities.

There are a total of 15 testers each of them has a different class, you will compete with the tester who has the same class as you. If you show satisfactory skill and abilities or manage to land a hit on the D- grade Divinities then you will pass the first round. As for Divine Creators, you just have to show your skills in crafting to the tester" Longan explained the rules.

The nervousness of the crowd had increased by at least two times when they heard the contents of the exam. Their faces became even paler.

Longan ignored their nervousness.

"The exams will start now, testers start calling out the names of the Divinity seeds according to the list that's given to you" Longan announced as he looked at the Divinities in his life.

The testers nodded their head slightly in response. There were a total of 15 testers on their left.

They took out a piece of paper, then they read it. Then they shouted out the names.

"Han….."A Divinity shouted.

"Judge" A Divinity shouted.

...…..

Simultaneously the names of 15 people were called out, they had no choice but to go forward.

"The exams have begun," Lucius thought

On the surface, he looked very calm and chill but it was far from the truth. He was quite nervous but he was hiding it so that people wouldn't see him as a weakling.

"I can't win against the guard with my current skills, I need to open the book of creation to see if I can acquire some good spells of Summoning magic.

Let's see if I can take it out of my inventory now." Lucius thought to himself.

He looked around him and saw that no one was looking at him. Everyone's attention was on the performance of the 15 youths.

He knew that he had a chance.

"I can take out the book of creation right now, I just need to find a place where no one is watching me" Lucius exclaimed as he began to look for a deserted place.

He looked around for a bit before he realized that there was almost no one at the gate.

"That place will be perfect for me to take out the book of creation" Lucius thought to himself.

He began to walk towards the gate when everyone's attention was drawn towards the fight of 15 Divinity seeds.

After walking for a few seconds, he reached the place. He stood in a corner near the gate, the shadow of the gate made the corner as dark as night.

No one would be able to see him unless they paid Great attention to him. Even if they glanced at Lucius, he would be mistaken as a shadow due to how dark it was.

Lucius looked left and right to confirm that there was no one around him.

"Time to take out the book of creation" Lucius exclaimed after confirming that he was not looking at him.

Lucius opened up the inventory.

(Inventory:

1)Book of Creation)

He took a deep breath, he thought about taking out the book of creation. It didn't work so he pressed on the book of creation. Then a notification flashed in his retina.

(Book of Creation.

Description

....

Do you want to take out the book of Creation Yes/No)

"So for me to take out items from the inventory, just thinking about taking out the items won't do. I have to manually take them out" Lucius thought to himself.

He pressed the yes button without hesitation, right after he pressed the yes button.

Shiny and very tiny fragments of light began to appear out of thin air and started to gather in front of Lucius at an incredible speed.

At an incredible speed, the hundreds of thousands of tiny fragments of light had taken the shape of a book. The book was covered in blue light.

It began to descend to Lucius' hand, a few seconds later. It descended into Lucius' hand, the book stopped glowing and its true appearance was revealed to Lucius.

"So this is the book of Creation huh" Lucius exclaimed as he looked at the book in front of him.

The book that he was holding was red, there was some golden lining throughout the entire book. There was a diagram of the sun in the middle of the book.

Overall, the book looked very ordinary but it was emitting a dense amount of pure mana.

(You have received a buff due to the book of creation in your hand. Your mana recovery speed has increased by 50 percent)

Lucius just smiled slightly when he saw that.

"Let me open up the book of creation and see what it has to offer," Lucius thought to himself.

Lucius slowly began to open up the cover of the book of creation. The moment he opened up the book, he spotted hundreds of lines of words.

He began to read the lines of words in the book slowly, as he read them. A look of pleasure could be seen on his face.

"This is a summoning spell, let me quickly memorize this but I might not be able to learn the spell in such a short time". Lucius said with a frown.

He shook his head slightly. He began to memorize the contents at the. As he was memorizing the contents of the book, a notification flashed in his retina that caused him to jump into happiness.

(The special effects of the skill Divine Wisdom have been activated. You have learned the summoning spell, Skeleton summon)

A surge of information entered Lucius's mind after that notification flashed in his retina. Then a new notification appeared in his retina.

(1. Skeleton Summon, Grade: E

Description.

"Thank God, I was able to learn this spell, if it will greatly aid me in my exams" Lucius exclaimed in excitement.

As Lucius was jumping in happiness, he felt a hand on his shoulders that caused him to panic.

"Who is there?" Lucius asked.

He turned around, he couldn't believe who was behind him.
