Chapter 1189: Go for it, I believe in you!
The assessment was conducted within the Talent Garden.
This place is a scenic spot within the encampment.
In the garden, the proud sons of heaven enjoy the highest standard of treatment, holding special privileges of the Inner Alliance, an object of desire for countless cosmic human warriors.
The centennial assessment occasionally attracts the attention of the proud sons of heaven from the Talent Garden, who come to watch.
But purely out of a sense of curiosity.
After all, very few manage to pass the assessment.
Even though the number of cosmic human warriors taking part in the assessment is not small.
"Sister, sister," a delicate and beautiful girl with a thin figure, shivered and timidly hid behind another stunningly gorgeous girl, "I, I really can't do it."
"Have some confidence, little sister, you can do it!" the beautiful girl Lan Diewu encouraged: "You are a super genius of our Minren Clan, you can definitely get into the Talent Garden!"
"It's enough if you get in, sister, I, I really don't have the ability…" the timid girl Lan Yingti spoke in a voice as light as a bird's, barely audible, her head buried in her chest.
"Give yourself more confidence! Sister!" Lan Diewu glanced around: "Look, even a little Venerate has come to take part in the assessment. What is there for you to fear?"
Wang Ye: ?
Having just entered the Talent Garden, he was met with a salvo of gazes.
Especially the unbelievably beautiful and curvaceous girls, who were staring at him, left him somewhat startled for a moment.
Wang Ye flashed a handsome smile and greeted the two girls.
Indeed, Brother still has some charm.
But he didn't much care for the Minren Clan.
Each of their women carried an epic level of flatness. Neither front nor rear protruded, not only were their waists like A4 paper, their entire beings were, coming out like they were straight from a printer.
However, their facial features and attractiveness were truly top-notch.
"What clan is this?" Brother Slaughter asked from beside him.
"Minren Clan." Wang Ye answered.
Brother Slaughter was like a curious baby right now, asking about any clan he saw.
And not bothering to look at the data, claiming that seeing too many words gives him a headache, which made Wang Ye wonder how he ever cultivated.
"Very agile with extremely high speed," Wang Ye explained: "Those with high talent even possess the Red Pupil Technique, which can shake the mind, sway the soul, create illusions, and enhance explosive power, among other effects."
Brother Slaughter nodded, then pointed to another side: "What about that clan?"
"Heroic Sword Clan." Wang Ye took a glance: "Just look at the greatswords they carry, and you'll know. They worship the unity of man and blade, they are unstoppable, embodying the sword, having practiced from a young age, forging a sword is to improve their own cultivation."
"Sounds pretty powerful," Brother Slaughter's eyes sparkled.
"The Heroic Sword Clan is too extreme in the way of the sword. If their Unity-phase sword breaks or gets damaged, their cultivation may collapse overnight, even possibly leading to their demise," Wang Ye said.
"Which clan do you think is the most powerful here?" Brother Slaughter asked.
"High-dimensional races have their limits in power," Wang Ye said: "The Chaos Human Race can't enter the Talent Garden. Of the several dozen cosmic humans participating in the assessment, perhaps not a single one will get through."
"Not even you?" Brother Slaughter asked.
"I'm not sure, but I will give it my best shot," Wang Ye replied with a smile.
The two chatted as they waited.
Although the Talent Garden's assessments are held only once every hundred years, there are countless human high-dimensional races in the Great Bliss Divine Domain.
Yet, those who truly dare to apply are few.
The threshold of 100 contribution points deters many human talents.
After all, Combat Prowess can fluctuate, but potential generally doesn't change much.
Not to mention race.
Soon—
The buzz of conversation among the crowd quieted down.
Not far away, five figures appeared, two of them exuding the presence of Chaos Gods, causing many of the participating human talents to be taken aback.
Because the Talent Garden's assessment has always been managed by four Divine Races.
The fifth, who was it?

"Qionghua Divine?" Wang Ye blinked, also surprised.
Conversely, Qionghua Divine's gaze fell on him, nodding slightly, not too surprised, as if he had known about his arrival beforehand.
Wang Ye looked towards Qionghua Divine beside Zhuo Hua God.
The big boss of the temporary encampment.
The interaction and expressions between him and Qionghua Divine made it clear that they were more than acquaintances.
"The time has come, let's begin the assessment," Zhuo Hua God spoke tersely: "Those who haven't arrived will forfeit automatically."
"The process should be clear to everyone."
"First, we'll test potential, provide the corresponding evaluation, and anyone disqualified doesn't need to take part in the Combat Prowess assessment."
Everyone looked serious.
For the Talent Garden, potential comes first.
If the potential is insufficient, even becoming a Chaos Divine isn't feasible, and no matter how strong the Combat Prowess, it's useless.
Because it would only be a flash in the pan.
...
The human talents were divided into two lines to begin testing.
The Dragon-man Clan and the Alien Clan were responsible for the testing.
Mainly, it was to judge whether one has the potential to become a Chaos Divine, how high the chance is, and what the lower and upper limits are.
Basic eligibility is naturally the minimum requirement.
But to join the Talent Garden, possessing the potential of a top Chaos Divine at its peak is the standard.
If one has a peak Chaos Divine's upper potential, that would be considered High-grade Potential, and afterward, mere qualification in the Combat Prowess assessment would suffice.
As for the potential of a True Divine?
It's beyond the high-dimensional races.
"Disqualified, leave."
"Low-level Potential, pass."
"Disqualified, leave."
"Medium-grade Potential, prepare for the next test."
...
The two administrators worked efficiently.
Having overseen many Talent Garden examinations, they were proficient and adept at it.
Low-level Potential is only slightly better than disqualification, but without exceptional Combat Prowess, there's no hope of entering the Talent Garden.
Medium-grade Potential is the standard category. There's hope of entry as long as the Combat Prowess also meets the standard of a Peak Chaos Divine, and the race isn't too weak to be admitted into the Talent Garden.
Normally, the majority of those who enter the Talent Garden have this potential.
High-grade Potential, now that's impressive.
It's equivalent to a high-end configuration with a potential cap at the level of a Peak Chaos Divine; as long as the Combat Prowess is sufficient, they can join the Talent Garden.
Such individuals are rarely encountered even across several eras.
In fact, even Medium-grade Potential is rare.
But this time, there were two!
"Jian Xiang of the Minren Clan has taken the test for the ninth time, right?" Zhuo Hua God looked at the data.
"Right," said Wuyang Emperor from the Void Race. "His potential is decent, having reached the Talent Garden standard long ago, but his Combat Prowess has never broken through to the Chaos Divine level. It's uncertain how he will do this time."
"We'll see how much progress he's made this era," Zhuo Hua God said. "Lan Yingti of the Minren Clan... Is this her first time participating?"
Wuyang Emperor answered, "The Minren Clan has just suffered a devastating disaster, existing in name only. What a pity."
Zhuo Hua God laughed and said, "Isn't that the case with high-dimensional races? Rise and fall. Those who can't adapt to the Primitive Cosmic Sea are eliminated, and new high-dimensional races emerge."
Wuyang Emperor said, "Like this Primordial Human Race? Slaughter Emperor, what a domineering name. His potential is quite ordinary, barely qualifying."
Zhuo Hua God said, "A newly risen small race that's gained a bit from the chaos of war, with the strongest person in their race being just an ordinary Strongest Expert, and even a Sovereign Venerate has come to take the test."
Wuyang Emperor commented, "This Slaughter Emperor wouldn't meet the potential standard if he hadn't refined the Primordial Cosmic. As for Wang Ye..."
Hm?
The two administrators were slightly taken aback.
They saw Huang Xuan Huang from the Dragon-man Clan, with a shocked expression, approaching them.
"Brother Zhuo, Wuyang, check out the results of the potential test," Huang Xuan Huang urged them.
Zhuo Hua God and Wuyang Emperor leaned over and then their eyes widened in surprise.
"Full explosive power, peak willpower of the Strongest Expert?"
"Perfect Extreme of an internal cosmic?"
"Eleven strands of high-dimensional heavenly path comprehension, seven peak, four advanced?"
...
Staring at each result, the two great figures were dumbstruck.
They had seen exaggerations, but never anything this extreme!
How should this potential be rated?
"Sister, come take a look," Zhuo Hua God called out, still in shock. "We might have underestimated this little fellow from the Primordial Human Race. No wonder the Sovereign Venerate dared to participate in the test; he truly has the goods!"
"Hmm," Qionghua Divine didn't show much change in expression.
She, of course, knew how high Wang Ye's potential was.
But the results of the evaluation were even more outstanding than she had anticipated!
"Could he reach high-grade potential?" Qionghua Divine asked.
Zhuo Hua God frowned slightly, pondering undecidedly.
Wuyang Emperor spoke up, "Disregarding the Sovereign Venerate status, the potential qualifies, but with the Venerate boost, perhaps it counts as Medium-grade Potential? As for High-grade..."
Huang Xuan Huang said, "It's difficult to draw a conclusion now. Just because he has the potential of a Sovereign Venerate doesn't mean we can conclude he is supreme. The Strongest Expert may have even higher potential."
Wuyang Emperor nodded, "Moreover, his clan is too weak. A newly risen small clan has neither the foundation nor any special abilities."
Qionghua Divine, seeing Zhuo Hua God still lost in thought, suddenly communicated telepathically, "Brother, haven't you always wanted to meet the person who saved me?"
"Hmm?" Zhuo Hua God looked up in surprise, as if he had grasped something vaguely.
Qionghua Divine nodded slightly, "Yes, it's him."
...
While the discussion was inconclusive,
The high-dimensional cosmic human warriors present were also abuzz with heated discussions.
Wang Ye, the Sovereign Venerate, was already the focus of attention.
Seeing Huang Xuan Huang, who conducted the test for him, leave with a look of disbelief holding the results, everyone naturally became curious.
What was the background of this Sovereign Venerate?
"They are discussing you," Slaughter Emperor said.
Wang Ye smiled knowingly, "I said, let them witness the wider world."
Slaughter Emperor said, "What's your estimate?"
"Medium-grade Potential," Wang Ye replied. "That's based on my status as a Sovereign Venerate. Since we are an emerging human race, we don't get bonus points, and they might even deduct points. Considering everything, they'll most likely assign me Medium-grade Potential."
"If they find me unlikable, giving me Low-level Potential wouldn't be unreasonable either."
Slaughter Emperor said, "You seem rather unfazed by it all."
Wang Ye shrugged, "Doesn't matter. It'll be more satisfying to prove them wrong later."
Slaughter Emperor: "..."
Not far away,
Lan Diewu and Lan Yingti, two sisters, were also discussing.
"Sister, he seems quite formidable," Lan Yingti stole a glance at Wang Ye.
"It's just because he has the potential of a Sovereign Venerate that the administrators are having a hard time finalizing the result," Lan Diewu said loftily. "Speaking of potential, he definitely can't match you, little sister."
"I... I can't," Lan Yingti said softly.
"Be more confident!" Lan Diewu encouraged. "You've already received the standard potential rating. Just demonstrate a standard level of Combat Prowess later, and you'll be able to enter the Talent Garden—"
She suddenly stopped speaking.
Lan Diewu's and Lan Yingti's expressions changed instantly.
As did those of the other human prodigies present. They stared, wide-eyed and in disbelief, at Huang Xuan Huang as he returned from the discussion with the final result.
"High-grade Potential, very good!" Huang Xuan Huang patted Wang Ye on the shoulder with a cheerful smile.
"Good luck, I'm rooting for you!"
