The chance to enter the Seven Gods' Scroll was therefore extremely precious each time.
This was also why Xiao Hei and Bai Guangda had not yet entered the Seven Gods' Scroll for trials.
"King Xu Ying, King Jin Shi, you two have both entered the Seven Gods' Scroll. Guess how many deities my brother Chen will gain recognition from within the scroll?"
Chen Xiao had just entered the Seven Gods' Scroll and it was unknown when he would emerge. Tu Shan Che started the conversation casually.
"Two." /
King Jin Shi gave his answer after a moment of thought.
"Two? That's too few! King Jin Shi, how many deities did you gain recognition from back then?"
Xiao Hei asked with indignation.
"Three."
King Jin Shi replied indifferently, without any emotional coloring.
"Tch..."
Xiao Hei scoffed at the answer. "Even you managed to gain recognition from three deities, how could my father be worse than you?"
"Heh heh..."
King Jin Shi did not react, but King Xu Ying chuckled twice. "King Hei Hu, you don't know this, but we demons have believed in the Seven Gods since childhood and have already forged a bond with them, laying the foundation for gaining the Seven Gods' power. Mr. Chen, on the other hand, probably didn't even know who the Seven Gods were before today. How could he gain recognition from many deities?"
"Gaining the recognition of the Seven Gods is not as easy as you imagine. The Seven Gods do not recognize strength!"
Hearing this, Xiao Hei frowned. "Then what do the Seven Gods recognize?"
"Uh, this..."
King Xu Ying could not answer.
Xiao Hei burst into laughter. "Hahahahaha, King Xu Ying, I see you don't know what the Seven Gods recognize either, right? So, what you said earlier about bonds and believing since childhood might be completely meaningless. It has no effect on gaining the Seven Gods' recognition."
"You little brat!"
King Xu Ying was made a fool by Xiao Hei's laughter and reprimanded him. "If it were meaningless, why would Lord Yao Zun want you to interact more with the Seven Gods before daring to let you enter the Seven Gods' Scroll? It's not that he's afraid you'll go in and gain nothing, wasting resources!"
This time, it was Xiao Hei's turn to be speechless, because his adoptive father had indeed told him so.
However, at this moment, a voice filled with confusion and a hint of grievance suddenly sounded, "If Xiao Hei cannot enter the Seven Gods' Scroll for this reason, then why am I? I have believed in the Seven Gods since childhood. By rights, I should have gained the Seven Gods' recognition long ago. Lord Yao Zun, why is that?"
"Cough cough..."
Lord Yao Zun coughed twice, not answering the question directly, but explaining instead, "The so-called recognition of the Seven Gods is actually seven qualities, namely courage, loyalty, honesty, wisdom, kindness, light, and innocence."
After speaking, Lord Yao Zun glanced meaningfully at Bai Guangda, as if to say, "Now you understand, right?"
However, Bai Guangda had no clue in his heart. He scratched his head and said, "I possess all these seven qualities, and they perfectly match..."
Xiao Hei thought to himself that among these seven great qualities, Bai Guangda only vaguely touched upon loyalty. The other six had nothing to do with him at all!
Letting him enter the Seven Gods' Scroll would be a complete waste of resources!
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
Lord Yao Zun looked intently at King Xu Ying. "King Xu Ying, you haven't given your opinion yet. What do you think, can my brother Chen gain recognition from how many deities?"
"It's hard to say."
King Xu Ying shook his head.
"Tell me honestly!"
Lord Yao Zun said in a deep voice.
"Alright then."
King Xu Ying wore a helpless expression as if he was being forced to speak. "In my opinion, Mr. Chen cannot gain the recognition of even one deity. The reason, as I said before, is that he has not established a bond with the Seven Gods, so it is difficult for the Seven Gods to recognize him."
"Heh heh..."
Tu Shan Che chuckled and shook his head. "King Xu Ying, you have a pair of unique and sharp eyes in the world, yet you fail to see through some things."
"In my opinion, my brother Chen can at least gain recognition from three deities, and it's not impossible for him to gain recognition from four!"
As soon as Tu Shan Che finished speaking, King Xu Ying shook his head and refuted, "That's impossible..."
Before he could explain why, Xiao Hei suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey? Look quickly, what's going on?"
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction Xiao Hei was pointing. They saw that a part of the Seven Gods' Scroll had lit up.
"Red... it represents the God of Fire, who is brave and fearless. My brother Chen has already gained the recognition of the God of Fire. Excellent, excellent!"
Tu Shan Che stroked his goatee and was in a great mood.
Gaining the recognition of the God of Fire was not easy.
Everyone could claim to be brave and fearless, but how many could truly achieve it?
This was like Bai Guangda. He was clearly not associated with being wise and mighty, yet he had no self-awareness.
"Gained the recognition of the God of Fire so quickly? Hmm... Mr. Chen is indeed formidable!"
King Xu Ying said indifferently, a hint of shame in his eyes.
After all, just moments ago, he had confidently stated that Chen Xiao might not gain the recognition of even one deity.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei cried out again, "It lit up again, it lit up again! This time, it's green!"
In fact, everyone had seen it without him saying anything. Another part of the Seven Gods' Scroll had lit up.
"Uh, recognition from the God of Grass, who represents innocence. I never expected this, truly unexpected."
Lord Yao Zun Tu Shan Che smiled and shook his head, a hint of amusement on his face.
Not only him, but everyone else wore a strange expression.
Even Xiao Hei, a loyal supporter of Chen Xiao, was no exception.
He muttered softly, "I really didn't expect that Father was actually an innocent person. This, this is truly..."
He was at a loss for words, unsure how to describe his current feelings.
As for King Xu Ying, his focus was not on "innocence."
"In less than five minutes, he has consecutively gained the recognition of two deities. Lord Yao Zun, this achievement is not inferior to yours back then, is it?"
King Xu Ying said provocatively.
You were optimistic about Chen Xiao, so what if Chen Xiao surpassed you? Would you still be optimistic about him?
"Hahahahahaha, indeed!"
Tu Shan Che laughed heartily. "I didn't even notice it until you reminded me. It took me more than half an hour to gain the recognition of the first deity back then. Brother Chen used less than a tenth of my time. He is truly formidable, formidable!"
King Xu Ying's face was about to collapse. Damn it, this trick didn't work either. Didn't Lord Yao Zun feel any jealousy?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that it took him almost half a day to gain the recognition of the first deity.
This Chen Xiao was truly a damned genius!
