At this moment, the Four Great Heavenly Gates were connected to the four cosmic directions, and the world barrier was infinitely strengthened.
Even if internal combat power reached Level 9...
it could not break through the barrier or damage the universe.
"Tomorrow the graduation assessment begins..."
Qin Mu stood in space, gazing at the vast universe he had created.
A sense of accomplishment welled up inside him.
However...
the true spirit of the Thirty-Three Heavens carrier platform remained asleep, still bonding and not yet awakened.
...
The next day, Jiang City University.
On a massive plaza, early in the morning, all the graduates were gathered together.
Chu Tiange and the mentors stood at the front, giving a pre-assessment briefing.
"Students!
First, congratulations on completing some excellent graduation projects!
As the principal, I am pleased that you have applied all the knowledge learned at this school to your projects!"
Chu Tiange's voice echoed across the plaza, radiating the dignity of a High-Level God.
Over ten thousand graduates stood solemnly, listening attentively.
"Today, we will conduct a collective assessment to test the true level of your graduation projects!
Whether you graduate smoothly depends on the evolutionary results you've achieved over this month!"
As his words fell, thunderous applause erupted.
Expressions across the crowd varied—some hopeful, some worried, others despairing.
Many struggling students wore despondent faces, certain they would be held back.
Qin Mu stood quietly among the crowd, listening to Chu Tiange's speech.
This assessment was indeed very important.
Graduating smoothly with Jiangcheng University's name would open many doors.
Failing would mean repeating a year, waiting for the next cycle.
"Ah, I'm doomed... I only have one Level 5 Living Being in my world. There's no way I'll pass this time!"
"I've been held back eight years already; I have to graduate this time no matter what!"
"Hey! You've only been held back eight years? My dad's been held back thirty! Now the whole family's hopes rest on me!"
"Last year, I heard there was a Level 7 alien and ten Level 6 aliens. I wonder how hard this year's assessment will be..."
...
The crowd began to buzz with talk.
This assessment's difficulty would directly determine their graduation fate.
The plaza grew restless all at once.
"Quiet!"
On the high platform, Chu Tiange snorted coldly.
The aura of a High-Level God radiated out, suppressing the entire plaza.
Immediately, the ten thousand graduates fell silent, closing their mouths.
"Next, the rules of the graduation assessment."
"First, this assessment targets your worlds; as in previous years, I am forbidden from intervening!"
"Second, killing all invading aliens counts as passing; if the aliens destroy your world, it counts as failure!"
"Third, during the assessment, I may enter your world to guide your Living Beings."
"Fourth..."
Among the crowd, Qin Mu listened carefully and nodded.
These rules were the same as in previous years.
The only passing criterion was to exterminate all aliens.
They could use any means to do so, but the aliens had to be eliminated.
After the rules, Chu Tiange added, "The invading aliens' strength this time: one Level 8 and ten Level 7!"
As soon as he spoke, the plaza erupted in uproar.
"WTF! That's insane! I just cultivated one Level 4 Living Being!"
"Wasn't it just one Level 7 last year? How come it doubled this year?"
"This graduation assessment is way too hard!"
"We're doomed! My dad and I are going to get wiped out!"
...
In the plaza, a chorus of wails filled the air.
After hearing the assessment difficulty, many showed despair.
The gap between levels was vast.
Many could barely pass with a single Level 7 alien.
Now...
one Level 8 and ten Level 7 aliens!
Though the number wasn't large, any one alien alone could wreak havoc, directly destroying their graduation projects.
...
In a corner of the plaza, Lin Ge, wearing a black robe, frowned after hearing the difficulty.
He had evolved an Ancestral Witch World, and had cultivated two Level 7 Ancestral Witches.
He thought he would pass easily this time.
But the difficulty shocked him deeply.
"I remember the school taught about alien weaknesses; if used well, there's still a chance to pass..."
He took a deep breath, looking around.
"Li Mingyi and Zhao Qiao's Divine Flame values aren't inferior to mine, and they evolved supernatural civilizations. They should be my strongest competitors."
"And Qin Mu..."
He paused, then relaxed,
"Technological Civilization has a very low combat ceiling. This difficulty...
will be hell for him!"
