The exchange between Ding Yun and Jin Xin Xin was brief, as the specific methods for dealing with advanced civilizations were uncertain and subject to too many variables to plan in advance.
They would have to adapt to circumstances as they arose.
What if a few capable followers emerged?
Perhaps they wouldn't even need to worry about it.
However, not long after, Ding Yun's Sun Saintess avatar and Jin Xin Xin's Bright Moon Holy Son avatar jointly announced that a simulated interdimensional evangelism test would begin in one month. The test would include psychological assessments, ability evaluations, character appraisals, and virtual practical exercises, among other challenges.
The entire assessment would take approximately seven days and seven nights.
Those who excelled would have a chance to enter a lottery, while those who passed would have the opportunity to become attendants. Those who failed would not even have a chance to be attendants.
Furthermore, the assessment content would strictly analyze the type of worlds and civilizations for which each candidate was best suited for evangelism, aiming to assign them tasks that maximized their potential and increased the chances of success.
It could be said that while their previous approach was extremely relaxed, allowing anyone to enter the lottery and go anywhere, their current approach was suddenly very strict. Although the assessment standards were not impossibly high, they were by no means easy to pass.
Students who were not academically inclined and lacked ability would struggle to even pass, let alone excel.
Upon hearing this news, the focus of believers from various countries and even planets shifted from the live broadcast to this announcement, sparking widespread discussion.
There was agreement, and there was dissatisfaction.
There was debate, and there were those actively studying and preparing.
"I don't want to sign up, but my dad and brothers all really want to win the lottery. They think my participation will increase our family's chances, and even though I'm unwilling, they force me to sign up every time. Since I can't beat them, I can only pray constantly after each registration that I absolutely don't get drawn. Now that there's an assessment, with my poor academic performance, I won't be able to pass. This way, my dad and brothers will have no reason to force me to sign up anymore, as I won't even qualify to register."
"Uh… if, I'm just saying if, is there a possibility that your dad and brothers will continue to force you to study hard, with classes twenty-four hours a day, so that you find a way to pass the exam?"
"This new change is truly wonderful. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Although there are many people in our world, there are also many useless ones. Giving such a great opportunity for interdimensional evangelism to those useless people is simply a waste. Only when we elites get the opportunity can we maximize our value! Support, support with both hands and feet!"
"To be honest, cultivation is really difficult for those who are uneducated, lack perseverance, and are older. My grandfather didn't go to school when he was young, and even understanding the cultivation techniques was difficult, let alone practicing them. So far, he only broke through to level three a few days ago. Breaking through to level four seems like a distant prospect."
"Indeed, the difference in talent is too great. Geniuses and ordinary people seem like two different species. If I remember correctly, the three Saint Envoys broke through to demigod status many years ago and are currently accumulating resources and contribution points. The most powerful one is said to have almost accumulated enough contribution points and will ignite the divine fire and condense the divine spark to officially become a god in half a month. If it weren't for their insufficient contribution points and the need for time to accumulate them, and to obtain the Goddess's permission to ignite the divine fire, they would have become gods ages ago."
"Um, I timidly ask, will this lead to class stratification? For example, those with more ability become increasingly powerful through interdimensional evangelism, perhaps even becoming divine families after many years, while those with less ability become weaker and weaker, especially after missing out on such good opportunities. Their descendants might not even be able to catch up."
"If you don't have the ability, don't blame others. It's not like the past. In the past, due to factors like family conditions, just surviving was a full-time effort, let alone spending time learning and improving. But now, resources are extremely abundant. Monthly government subsidies are enough to maintain a basic standard of living. If you want to learn, there is plenty of time and energy to do so. High-end technology requires contribution points, but general knowledge is freely available. And you still don't learn, don't improve, and lack ability. Who can you blame for that?"
"That's right. My mother only had the educational level of a second-grade elementary student back then and always regretted not being able to continue her studies. She didn't have time to learn further later on. But now, through her own persistence and hard work, her cultivation has reached level six, and she has successfully obtained a master's degree. To be honest, I really can't understand why some people can't learn after gaining some cultivation. Clearly, the higher the cultivation, the clearer the mind, the better the memory, and the stronger the logical thinking!"
"Let me give you an example. After my dad reached level three and became immune to all illnesses, he lost the motivation to continue cultivating. He also stopped working and just stayed at home playing games, occasionally urging my sister and me to study and cultivate diligently, and asking us to save more contribution points to buy him heavenly treasures. This way, he could improve his cultivation without too much effort."
