Chapter 709 SSS Level Talent
A few weeks later, in the Astral Continent's Testing Ground.
Trillions of three-year-old children stood nervously, waiting for the upcoming unified test.
Conducted in all of the administrative continents and starry dimensional continents, it was a grand event second to none.
Not wanting to let any unburied talents, all children of eligible age were required to come.
Gathered into one place, with their young minds, many of the children cried, looking around in search of their parents.
Unfortunately, as a designated testing ground, no outsiders besides the evaluators were allowed to enter.
Amidst the chaos, Nero was already kneeling on the ground with paleness apparent on his face.
"Let me out of here..." he muttered softly.
To him, any imperfection was filth, and being thrown into this cesspit of testing ground nearly shattered his mind.
Clutching the necklace his father had given him, Nero barely managed to calm down.
"Hah... Please, let this be over with…" he whispered, closing his eyes.
Unfortunately, his ears and nose still picked up the overwhelming filth surrounding him.
As for shutting off his senses? His damned father had placed a restriction on him.
Finally, after hours of torture, the evaluators descended and began the test.
"Line up~"
With their calming aura, the evaluators soothed the crying children, who unconsciously lined up in response.
One by one, each child was tested for their physique.
Ranks ranged from D to SSS, with each score totaled after completing all the tests.
Meaning, getting a D didn't automatically disqualify someone.
One could have trash-level talent yet still possess extraordinary comprehension, willpower, or even luck.
To ensure fairness, the test examined not just physique but also comprehension and willpower.
As for luck, a random quota was distributed among the failed students.
Of course, many believed this was just a scam, allowing the rich to buy their way through.
Soon, Nero's turn arrived.
[Scanning physique…]
[Heaven Grade: Score A!]
"Next!"
Unfazed by his results, Nero moved to a quiet spot and sat down, trying to calm his nerves.
Thanks to the special accessory his father had given him, he slowly grew accustomed to the imperfections of those around him.
However, being accustomed didn't mean he felt comfortable.
Still pale from the filth, Nero watched everything in a daze.
Just when he thought things would proceed normally, a sudden commotion caught his attention.
"SSS-level talent?!"
"How could there be an SSS-level talent?!"
"Did the test malfunction?!"
If an A-rank talent corresponded to a Heaven-grade physique, S to a Dimensional-grade physique, SS to an Ultimate-grade physique, then SSS was an Origin-grade Ultimate physique.
Looking at the result, not just the evaluators but even Maximus and his family, secretly watching from the outside, were shocked.
Before Maximus, only a dozen individuals had ever possessed such a physique.
No amount of strands of causality could produce an Origin-grade physique.
To elevate his family to such a level, Maximus had to cooperate with countless strands of causality, the Origin Manual, and the system linked to him.
He even suspected his success was thanks to his Plane-level ability, True Path.
Yet now, witnessing such a talent emerge within his dimension, instead of feeling joy, Maximus was filled with doubt.
As the Dimensional Master and an Absolute powerhouse, how could he have failed to notice such a monstrous existence being born within his domain?
It was just like when the Heavenly System had appeared out of nowhere.
Thinking of this, Maximus was in shock.
Through a normal scan, no matter the angle, method, or treasure he used, the child only displayed an Origin-grade physique.
However, when Maximus urged True Path using strands of Plane Origin, he received a different answer.
The Plane of Balance—a Plane-level physique similar to his own!
"This—"

This was even more ridiculous than a mortal turning into a Tier 12 Overlord overnight.
In this mind, there was only one answer—just like him, this little girl had been smuggled in from outside the Aeon Plane.
Ever since discovering the existence of the Heavenly System, Maximus had noticed the gears of fate beginning to turn against him.
Like a catastrophe waiting to unfold, all kinds of ghosts and miracles came pouring in.
From the Heavenly System to this little girl… Maximus wondered, what next?
With deep thought, he continued watching.

Meanwhile, after multiple retests, the little girl Mira was finally confirmed as an SSS-level talent.
Feeling unprecedented shock, the evaluators immediately reported the results to the Etherium Academy and the Etherium Council for instructions.
Receiving a green light to proceed as usual, they calmed down.
Mira was taken to rest in the most comfortable spot while the testing of other children continued.
As for Nero, after the initial shock, he simply sat back down, suppressing his nausea.
In his mind, an Origin-grade physique was nothing special.
After all, his entire family had the same grade—wasn't it normal for one or two others to have it as well?
Unable to hold himself back, Nero closed his eyes, waiting for the test to end.
Days passed as each child was carefully tested.
Who knows if another SSS-level talent would appear?
Though there was no other miracle, they still found two more children with SS-level physiques and 130 children with S-level physiques.
With the first phase of testing complete, Nero finally woke up.
"Finally, the second test… I'm halfway through this hell!" Nero sighed in relief.
As a designated testing ground for children, the place was fully equipped with food, entertainment, open resting areas, and more.
There was even a soothing mana field that nurtured everyone, ensuring their bodies remained at peak condition at all times.
If they wished, they could go years without sleeping or eating.
Prepared for months of testing, this site was considered a holy ground across the Administrative and Dimensional Starry Continents.
Soon, the trillions of children were taken to the next testing venue.
Seeing mountains of books neatly divided into different areas, Nero had already guessed what the next test would be.
"This test will be a comprehension test."
"Choose your area of expertise—you will have one month to comprehend everything before the exam…"
What do you think?
