Cosmic ruins, Nanming Realm.

This world was originally located in the Ghost Golden Sheep Star Domain in the Seven Houses of the Southern Vermilion Bird, and later a corner of the star field where the Nanming Realm and hundreds of other worlds are located were refined into a astrolabe by Qi Tianzun with great divine powers, and nearly 100,000 years have passed.

Except for the first few thousand years after being refined into an astrolabe, there was a violent turmoil in the Nanming Realm, and it has always seemed "peaceful and peaceful" since then...... Since the astrolabe has always been in the Xuanhuang Universe, the Nanming Realm can also be regarded as a prosperous immortal realm, with a large number of immortal cultivators, and many people practicing the "Dragon Transformation Mantra", and finally turning into a true dragon "Ascending to the Dao"!

With the entire astrolabe being smashed into the ruins of the universe by the Heavenly Venerable, the Nanming Realm has once again undergone earth-shaking changes as it did 100,000 years ago.

Hundreds of millions of immortal cultivators in the realm suddenly noticed that the stars in the sky had changed again, and then, almost at the same time, these high-ranking "immortal masters" completely lost their immortal path cultivation, and all kinds of immortal means such as magic weapons, talismans, and formations were all invalid, and many spiritual materials such as gold, stone, grass and trees also completely lost their spirituality, and it was difficult for birds and beasts to open their spiritual wisdom.

The immortal path in the ruins of the universe was not strong, and the hundreds of small worlds in the Nanming Realm and the astrolabe all became the same as the Shinto world back then, and they instantly lost all their extraordinary powers.

Since then, the Nanming realm has entered the era of the end of the law.

The stable order within the boundaries of Nanming quickly collapsed in just a few years.

The immortal cultivators in the realm originally possessed great power beyond mortals and could surpass hundreds of millions of mortals, but after losing all immortal cultivation and various transcendent means, even though they were still stronger than ordinary people in terms of physique and wisdom, they no longer had a world of difference from ordinary people as before, and lost their absolute advantage.

The original power structure is no longer stable, and the sects, the immortal cultivation family, the state and other forces have been overturned in large numbers in the world changes.

After many immortal cultivators lost their strength, they fell into confusion, panic and madness, and mortals who had no chance to climb to the top also took advantage of this opportunity to fight for power and profit, and all kinds of behaviors further aggravated the chaos in the Nanming Realm, many people rose in the chaos, and many people died in this chaotic world.

With the passage of time, the creatures of the Nanming Realm gradually adapted to this world without extraordinary powers, and initially established a new order based on the reality of the changes between the old and new forces.

Thousands of years later, there is still no sign of the recovery of the Immortal Dao in the Nanming world.

Gradually, the cultivation classics, pill magic weapons, talisman formations and other things that were originally carefully preserved were no longer valued.

Since ancient times, there have been various rumors about the "Immortal Master", which have gradually turned into legends, many exercises and immortal techniques have been cut off, many mountain gates of immortal cultivation forces are overgrown with wild grass and trees, and many formation prohibitions have become ruins.

Due to the lack of protection by the power of the Immortal Dao, many objects that can be preserved for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years are difficult to survive for a long time.

Time passes.

Seven thousand years after entering the end of the Dharma era, the traces left by all the immortal cultivators have almost disappeared, and only in the corners and deep underground, some long-collapsed architectural ruins, jade objects, and exquisite magic weapons that have not yet been completely rotted can be excavated!

But no one believes in the existence of immortal cultivators, only that these are the traces left by the ancient sages.

All kinds of "immortal masters" have become unattainable myths!

But soon, the Nanming world ushered in a new turnaround.

On this day, a piece of pitch-black iron floated from outside the territory and fell like a meteorite to the most powerful country in the Nanming Realm.

The entire world has undergone mysterious changes again, and the transcendent power that has disappeared seems to have returned, but no one in the Nanming Realm knows how to use this power.

After the pitch-black iron fell into the Nanming Realm, it circulated among several powerful forces, trying to study the mystery of this object.

Hundreds of years passed, and finally a country established a connection with the pitch-black iron block with the means it already had, and finally realized that it was actually "alive".

What's even more shocking is that this piece of pitch-black iron contains infinite wisdom beyond the imagination of mortals, almost "omniscient, omniscient", and can also teach everyone the truth of the Dao, so as to use the inexplicable power of heaven and earth out of thin air...... It's the same as the original Tianyuan Realm

, the people of the Nanming realm enshrine the pitch-black iron as sacred.

Since then, under the preaching of the pitch-black iron, a new era has opened in the Nanming world.

And the year when the pitch-black iron fell into the Nanming Realm from outside the sky, it was called the "First Year of Divine Apocalypse" by the people in the realm!

Just like the era of the end of the law 7,000 years ago, after the people of the Nanming Realm came into contact with the pitch-black iron, they fell into a series of turmoil and changes again, but they also developed rapidly in the turmoil.

The overall development trend is somewhat similar to that of the civilization of the Tian Yuan Realm.

However, in addition to exploring outwards and attaching importance to the technology of foreign objects imparted by pitch-black iron, the Nanming world also attaches great importance to inward exploration;

Through the study of the soul and the study of the power named "psionic energy", we try to achieve the goal of transcending and sublimating the individual and even the whole race!

Three hundred years after the first year of the Divine Apocalypse, the Nanming realm stabilized again.

In the year 2996 of the Apocalypse, the technology of the Spirit Race in the Nanming Realm had developed to an extremely high level, and it was able to create powerful treasure ships, travel to other small worlds to spread the Spirit Clan's Dao, and exploit the remaining resources of the withered world and the wreckage!

Even if there is no need to conceive an heir in a woman's body, as long as the male and female each provide a drop of blood, the nursery under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao Palace, the highest institution in the Southern Ming Realm, can use the spirit clan technology to cultivate batches of newborns.

And just when the nursery received the task of the Heavenly Dao Hall and was preparing to cultivate 100,000 newborns, seven drops of blood appeared out of thin air in the few spare vessels that contained the blood of men and women and made embryos.

……

Time passed, seventeen years passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to the three hundred and thirteenth year of the Divine Apocalypse.

Xuanji No. 1 Secondary Psychic Education School.

Under the jurisdiction of the Spiritual College, there are 3,000 higher spiritual education institutions, more than 30,000 secondary spiritual education institutions, and more than one million primary education institutions in Nanming Realm alone, providing spiritual education for about 300 million school-age people every year.

Xuanji No. 1 Middle School is the best secondary school in Xuanji City.

At this time, the mid-term assessment of second-year students has ended, and the assessment results will be displayed on the big screen in the hall of the school building.

Due to the highly developed technology of the spirit clan in the Nanming realm, the teaching form has also undergone great changes.

Only in elementary schools, students who receive primary psionic education need traditional classes because they are relatively young and their brains are not yet fully developed.

Students who receive psionic education have basically fully developed their brains by the time they reach secondary schools.

At this time, with the help of large instruments, through the way of brainwaves, the vast amount of knowledge can be directly input into the students' brains, while teachers in secondary schools are only responsible for solving doubts and doubts most of the time during teaching.

Even so, there is still a big gap between each student.

On the one hand, everyone's brain has a different carrying capacity.

Some people are gifted enough to hold more knowledge, while others are more "dull" and can barely accept a portion of the knowledge even if they are directly input through the instrument.

On the other hand, different students have great differences in the absorption, classification, integration and application of various knowledge and information.

For example, through the instrument input of the shuttle driving method, some smart people can quickly understand, spend a little time to explore, can be proficient in driving the shuttle, while some students do not know the essentials, even if they have accepted all the knowledge about driving technology, the mind is still a mess, let alone really get started with the shuttle.

Therefore, even with psionic devices that transmit knowledge, institutions still need to pass assessments to assess students' mastery of this knowledge.

In front of the big screen in the hall of the school building, there were standing students in the second grade of Xuanji Academy, looking forward to the announcement of the midterm assessment results.

Among this group of students, there is a young man who is particularly conspicuous, giving people a feeling of standing out from the crowd, and the students on the side unconsciously leave him at a distance of one position, making some areas around him slightly vacant.

The appearance of the young man has more than ninety percent similarity with Shen Mo, which is the clone created by Shen Mo after he used a wisp of his own essence and divine origin to invest in the Nanming realm.

Shen Mo's reincarnation doppelganger was named "Shen Xiaobai" by the nursing home, and because he didn't know who his parents' surnames were, his names were randomly generated with his spirit brain.

Although Shen Xiaobai carries many extraordinary characteristics on his body, in the Nanming Realm, where the Immortal Dao is not prominent, he is no different from the mortal, and he can't exert the slightest immortal Dao cultivation, if he has to be more serious, then his body is stronger than others, and his brain is smarter than others.

Like most people in the Nanming world, he was raised in a nursery school, raised in a residential nursing home, and entered primary school at the age of six.

After nine years of study, at the age of fifteen, he was admitted to Xuanji No. 1 Secondary School with excellent results, and under normal circumstances, he still needs to receive three years of education, and then participate in the examination for promotion to higher education.

In the past two years of receiving spiritual education at Xuanji Academy, Shen Xiaobai has also been smooth.

Thanks to the fact that his true body has been cultivated into an immortal, his brain carrying capacity is extremely strong, and the absorption, classification, integration and application of various knowledge and information are far beyond others, so his results are among the best in every assessment, and he has opened a ravine-like ravine with the people behind him.

It's just that Shen Xiaobai is not the one who dominates the second-year students, and since he entered the Xuanji Academy, there has been more than ten assessments, and every time a student named Yang Yao has overwhelmed him.

According to the practice of previous years, the top three higher psionic schools in the Nanming world will probably only recruit one student in Xuanji No. 1 Secondary Psionic School every year, and the admitted students will be evaluated according to the usual assessment results and the final assessment results after the completion of the three-year study.

In other words, since Shen Xiaobai's usual assessment results have always been slightly inferior, even if his final assessment results are better than Yang Yao's, there is a high chance that he will not be admitted to the top three institutions of higher learning.

If the final assessment score is not as good as the other party, then there is no chance at all!

Only the top three schools have the opportunity to come into contact with the legendary Divine One and further enhance their spiritual attainments.

"Xiaobai, you did well in the test!"

A friend in the same class squeezed over from the crowd and patted Shen Xiaobai on the shoulder with a smile.

Looking at the familiar names in front of him on the screen, Shen Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, raised his fist with some annoyance, looked left and right, and then smashed it into the chest of his friend next to him.

"I didn't do well in the exam, and I was pressed under Yang Yao again."

His companion and friend were punched inexplicably, and when they heard him speak loudly, they were so angry that their noses were crooked, and they clamored for Shen Xiaobai to treat him and make amends.

Shen Xiaobai was so annoyed by him that he had to agree to come down and walk to the cafeteria with him.

As soon as he left the hall of the school building, Shen Xiaobai saw a familiar and graceful figure, it was Yang Yao, who had pressed him in the previous assessments, but she did not follow the crowd to the cafeteria, but walked in the direction of the gate of the school.

Shen Xiaobai was a little strange, now is not a holiday, what did Yang Yao do when she left the school?

It can't be a school trip home......

Many years ago, the concept of "family" was lost.

In the early years of the Apocalypse, there were still traditional families, even huge families, but with the development of spirit technology and the changes of the times, men and women in the Nanming world became more and more reluctant to reproduce and raise offspring, and the technology of cultivating newborns became mature, and gradually most of the newborns were born in nurseries, and then handed over to nursing homes to raise.

Therefore, for most people, when they live in a nursing home, the nursing home is their home, and when they reach the age of entering school, they enter a primary or secondary school to receive spiritual education, and the school is their home.

The closest "family members" are the same group of peers who have entered nursing homes and institutions and have better relationships.

In general, students who are still receiving psionic education rarely leave the school.

"What is Yang Yao doing when she goes out at this time? Could it be that I have participated in a training institution outside the school, or has the nutrients from the secret channel arrived?"

Outside of Xuanji Academy, there are many training institutions that have all kinds of strange ways for students to receive more knowledge, and even buy some nutrients that are not very legal and compliant to improve the carrying capacity of the brain.

The school has repeatedly ordered students not to believe in the outside

of training institutions and illegal nutritionists.

After all, even if it is a relatively poor secondary school, the various resources provided will not be bad, and more importantly, it is extremely safe, and many of the methods used by outside training institutions, as well as the nutrients sold, have unknown hidden dangers, and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

But under the pressure of going on to higher education, there are always people who can't help but go down the wrong path.

In Xuanji City, every year, there are many students from secondary schools, because of the gullibility of the methods of external training institutions and the nutrients produced by various small workshops, which eventually cause irreparable damage to the body and brain.

Yang Yao's results in each assessment are the first among the students in the same class, and the living expenses she receives from Xuanji Academy are very considerable, which is more than enough to support two or three training institutions and small nutrition workshops.

Of course, Shen Xiaobai didn't think that she relied on these crooked ways to get what she is doing today, just a casual guess!
