Chapter 1630

"The way the Higher Realm identifies talents is very different from the Chaos Sea. In their eyes, no matter how strong a Dao Lord is, it's not worth mentioning."

Dao Lord Su's eyes revealed a self-deprecating look. "They are firm supporters of the bloodline theory. They divide all living beings in the world into four classes."

"What four classes?" Gu Chen listened attentively.

"First-class living beings are naturally born in the Primordial Chaos Dao World and grow up under the nourishment of the Primordial Chaos Essence Energy."

"Second-class living beings are those Chaos lifeforms that possess the power of Chaos."

"These two classes of living beings are nurtured by heaven and earth. Ordinary people are powerless to compete with them. They can only fight for third-class living beings."

"Living beings that can control the Origins of a world are Dao Querying cultivators. They can barely be considered third-class living beings." "Apart from that, they are all fourth-class!"

"How many classes do the envoys from the Higher Realm need?" Gu Chen pondered for a moment.

"It's impossible for first-class living beings to exist in the Chaos Sea. Second-class living beings are extremely rare. If they appear, they will definitely be chosen by the Higher Realm envoys."

"Fourth-class living beings are nothing. If they are brought to the Higher Realm envoys, they will definitely be scolded. Apart from first-class and second-class living beings, only lifeforms that are at least third-class and above have a chance of being chosen."

Gu Chen interrupted Dao Lord Su's analysis in time and asked curiously. "Third-class superior-grade? There are grades beyond the four classes? "

"Using the strength and rarity of the Origins to differentiate the grades of living beings is a method passed down from the Higher Realm. It's not a secret among the upper echelons of the various counties. Doesn't Frined Gu know about it?" Dao Lord Su was stunned. He felt that Gu Chen did not take the Higher Realm's selection to heart.

"I seem to have some impression of it." Gu Chen stroked his chin. He had indeed heard something similar somewhere.

"According to the strength and rarity of the Origins, they can be divided into inferior-grade, medial-grade, superior-grade, treasure-grade, and divine-grade."

"There are more than 65,555 worlds in the Chaos Hundred Counties. There are as many emperors as there are hairs on a cow. However, there are only a handful of them who possess superior-grade Origins.

"Even among us Daolords, there aren't many of them. Therefore, in the eyes of the Higher Realm Emissaries, most Daolords are only living beings below third-class high grade. How can they take notice of us?"

Dao Lord Su shook his head. The great Creator was nothing but trash in the eyes of the Upper Realm. It was ironic, but it was also the truth.

In the past, countless ambitious Dao Lords had wanted to enter the Primordial Chaos Dao World, but they had been beaten back by the words that their aptitude was insufficient. If there were people who overestimated themselves, they would even end up dying.

"The myriad of Origins in this world all have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the Origin of Water restrains the Origin of Fire, but it is also restrained by the Origin of Earth. How can there be a difference in quality between them? Is the Upper Realm's evaluation method reliable? "

Gu Chen had a pensive look on his face. He believed that there was no such thing as an innately strong or weak Origin Source. The most important thing was still the cultivator's degree of development.

"The emissaries from the Upper Realm have a Dao Artifact to test the grade of the Origin. They have always believed in the results of the Dao Artifact's test."

"There is no specific Dao artefact. Based on past experience and the rarity of its essence, I can roughly determine its grade."

Dao Lord Su paused for a moment, his eyes filled with envy. "Apart from Li Wuwei, no one else has successfully cultivated the Nature Origins that Frined Gu cultivates. There's no doubt about its rarity. It's very likely to be evaluated as a divine-grade."

"With a divine-grade Origin, there's no doubt that Frined Gu will be favored by the emissaries from the Upper Realm."

Gu Chen understood and muttered inwardly.

The Dao Lords thought that he only had one Nature Origin, but they didn't know that he also had three Origins — Spacetime, Soul, and Life and Death.

These three Origins were also very rare. I wonder what kind of grade I can obtain from the emissaries from the Upper Realm?

"From the looks of Frined Gu, it's clear that he hasn't thought about this matter carefully. I have to remind you that you have to think carefully about your choice now. The emissaries from the Upper Realm might not give you a chance to think about it. "Dao Lord Su's words carried a hidden meaning as his expression turned gloomy.

"Could it be that they will force me?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.

"The last time the Realm Sea opened, a well-loved leader of the Hundred Commanderies Dao Lords passed away. The cause was that he offended the emissaries from the Upper Realm!"

Dao Lord Su's hands suddenly clenched tightly. Through his sleeves, one could see the veins on his arms bulging, as if he was trying his best to suppress the negative emotions in his heart.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and said softly. "That Dao Lord was Lord Yao, right?"

During the last meeting in Sword Commandery, Dao Lord Su and Dao Lord Qin had brought up Lord Yao during their dispute. He more or less understood that person's situation from Dao Lord Golden Crow.

The Hundred Commanderies Dao Lords were all arrogant, and people like Dao Lord Qin even thought of themselves as the Nine Five Supremes. Under such circumstances, Lord Yao was honored as the leader of the Dao Lords with both virtue and talent. It was clear how charismatic this person was.

However, such a person did not die during the War Commandery Era, nor did he die during the Dark Upheaval. Instead, he died when the emissaries from the Upper Realm descended to the Lower Realm.

"It's good that you know what happened to him. When the time comes, you have to be very clear about what you can and cannot say, and what you can and cannot do, "Dao Lord Su said.

These words were clearly said to Gu Chen, but Gu Chen felt that he was warning himself.

"Thank you for your reminder," said Gu Chen. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression.

"In short, think it through as soon as possible. If your ambitions are not in the Primordial Dao World, it's best to prepare a way out."

Dao Lord Su finished what he needed to say and sold the favor he needed to sell. He got up to send the guest off.

Gu Chen left Dao Lord Su's residence with his mind full of thoughts. He thought to himself that he had to think of a way to hide himself from the emissaries from the Upper Realm.

He had yet to find his way home. After the Realm Pass closed, the Ninth Realm might experience Dark Upheaval. Under such circumstances, Gu Chen had no intention of heading to the Primordial Dao World.

He missed his family too much. In fact, he did not need to think much about his choice.

"Overlord, what a coincidence to meet you here."

On the way, a cold voice suddenly came from ahead, bringing Gu Chen back to his senses.

"Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."

Gu Chen smiled casually. The person coming toward him was none other than Crazy Dao Lord.

After he had knocked him unconscious in the Sword County, especially after seeing the outcome of his battle with Dao Lord Qin, Crazy Dao Lord had avoided him.

What was wrong with him today? Not only did he not stay away, but he even took the initiative to greet him. Could it be that his courage had returned?

"It's not like we're enemies. It was just a misunderstanding."

Crazy Dao Lord said confidently and calmly. He seemed to have let go of everything that had happened before.

Gu Chen was a little surprised when he saw his actions. This was not something the narrow-minded Crazy Dao Lord would say.

It did not seem like he had given in. It looked more like he was fearless.

Gu Chen was puzzled, but Crazy Dao Lord did not intend to talk to him. He sneered and walked past him.

"I'll cooperate with you no matter how crazy you want to be, but his head is mine."

Crazy Dao Lord muttered to himself when he was far away from Gu Chen. His eyes were extremely cold.

"Of course, I'll keep my word!"
