This was not Kalatis by any means, but Lirian did sense a power equal to that of the dragon god Kalatis, a power that sat just a hairs breath away from the third-grade of gods.
"Who are you?" Lirian asked.
"You can perceive me!?" the god said in wonder, "Just like the other one," the god said and as Lirian listened to the voice he felt that it was rather strange, if Lirian had to say what it sounded like, it was as if the god was mentally deranged, it wasn't all that uncommon though.
Gods did tend to be of their rockers a majority off the time, living for so long that you had few peers who could relate to you, was enough to drive anyone crazy, even gods could not escape that fate.
Lirian was just about to ask another question when the gods laugh echoed in his head, he laughed like a lunatic and when he finished laughing Lirian felt the presence vanish entirely.
Lirian saw it as an opportunity to learn of the current state of the god realm, it had been 100 000 years since he left, thanks to the unstable portal he left through, that launched him 100 000 years ahead of where he should have landed.
To his knowledge the void tears had been opening rather quickly in the god realm, and it was likely that the invaders from the other plains had discovered the tears and were using them to send forces into the god realm.
While it was very unlikely that the god realm would fall so soon, it did stand that Lirian's father as well as the seven sins and seven virtues as well as four of the greatest beast gods, were all afflicted by his curse.
All them were the elite forces of the gods, and his father was the main power of the gods, but due to his curse the gods titled them as the traitors, so without their aid it was likely that things weren't to favourable for the other gods.
Especially if the invading plain had any existences equivalent to a third-grade god, it would make for some very bad times for the gods.
But now he had no way of learning anything since the god's consciousness vanished.
The darkness started to retreat when the presence vanished, the darkness rushed back in the steps and Lirian found himself still at the top of the stairs, it no longer released any pressure on him, and an image with a name branded itself in his mind.
Lirian could hear grunts coming from the nobles as they held on to their heads as if suffering from a severe hangover.
"What was that?" many people were asking as they grabbed their heads tightly and tried to recall what they saw, but everyone was coming up blank, the only thing they remembered was one of the seven dots that hung over their heads lighting up.
Several people came running into the ball room and came running to the emperor and empress telling them that a black shadow enveloped everything on the planet.
They were getting reports from all over the world of people saying that they found themselves in a black world where seven dots hung over their head and one of the dots shone like a brilliant star.
As it turned out the steps released the phenomena across the entire world.
"Lirian dear," Taliyah called out, "Do you know what happened?" she asked as she thought back to her husbands' story about how the guardians were unable to recall the phenomena when Arthur Pendragon ascended the steps.
"Nope, nothing at all!" Lirian said with a shrug of his shoulders, Taliyah could tell that he was lying, but as she thought on it more she realised that it was dumb of her to ask about it with such a large audience.
She glanced at Albus and as their eyes met they nodded, it would appear that their thoughts were the same, now wasn't the time to get into the details, Lirian still had the other tests to complete.
The other test weren't all that flashy or rather they weren't flashy at all, it was essentially a test of knowledge, the history of the empire, the power structures, the lineages that link the various houses all of that was a part of the next test.
In history there were numerous people that passed the talents steps 9th step, but this is where almost all of them ended up failing.
In the test of knowledge, the academies were created with a two hundred year system, that was how long it would take for a person to complete the academies course.
The two hundred year course was made to present all the information a candidate needed to pass the test of knowledge, but it was there that the problem lay.
Candidates only had twenty years before leaving for their trial, which made it practically impossible for them to complete this part, it wasn't the talent steps that made this an unbeatable test, it was the knowledge part.
As they say knowledge is power, and any candidate who wanted to truly earn a place in the universe, needed to navigate and understand the powers of the empire before they did anything, that knowledge was fundamental, but it was too much for a twenty year old to possess.
In the history of the empire there were a few that passed this phase, but only a few in 52 billion years of history and including all the other great civilizations, the total number did not exceed the triple digits.
But the main reason this was called the unbeatable challenge was due to the final phase, the trial world, the time limit given to candidate's was cut in half, but that wasn't why it was called unbeatable.
There were a total of 46 worlds marked out by the great civilisations they all knew of the 46 worlds, and those worlds were the trial worlds that a candidate who passed the knowledge phase of the unbeatable challenge had to choose from.
It was a rule from the time the seven civilizations were founded, and the civilization upheld that rule despite the fact that not a single one of those geniuses returned alive from those trial worlds.
Supposedly when Quaria negotiated with the gods to aide the mortal realm of the sixth universe, this was apart of the agreement they made, and should the agreement ever be broken, the vengeance of the gods would sweep across the universe.
It was a well known fact that Lirian had practically cleared the entire coarse of the academy and the nobles that followed the news about Lirian had been anticipating this part for a long time, they wanted to see if the rumours were true about Lirian's knowledge.
It had to be known that Lirian was only 14 years old, yet he already supposedly completed the 200-year course of the academy.
Only by completing the knowledge phase of the academy could Lirian face the trial ahead of time, which is why he chose to do it, but there were still problems with facing the trial ahead of time.
If Lirian waited six years and went for his trial he'd get his full 100 years, but since he opted to do it before the time his batch of candidate were sent on their expedition, he'd be batched up with the previous batch, it was 14 years since they left, which took 14 years from Lirian's time, hence he only had 86 years to complete his trial, which was also a trial that was extremely likely to kill him.
With the added rush to grow stronger faster, who knew what additional dangers Lirian would expose himself to, it severely increased his odds of death.
When Lirian began the trial of knowledge, everyone was blown away by how quickly he answered every question thrown his way.
It was two hundred years' worth of knowledge so it only stood to reason that there were thousands of questions to go through, which took almost two days to complete.
For cultivators staying awake for an entire year without rest was easy, but Lirian was only a mortal yet he showed not a single sign of being tired or tried to abbreviate his answers, every last one was detailed and filled with careful deliberation.
It wasn't like the nobles didn't know the answers, but they all felt that even they would need some time to carefully consider the answers before giving them yet Lirian's answers were given as soon as the question was asked, without a breath of delay.
He even managed to navigate around many of the trick questions that were thrown in there to shake things up, hack many of the well versed nobles were tripped up by the questions, yet Lirian answered with absolute ease.
In all that time there was only one question that Lirian answered wrongly, but it was a very interesting answer that Lirian gave.
It was a question about how the resolution of the Uldwin family was taken care off.
In the history books during the reign of Emperor Albert, the Uldwin family were trying to establish their power in the old Golgoth empire, and they were establishing a huge power, but they declared that all their gathering forces was to make for a powerful push in the exploration of the universe.
There were numerous other powers that were on board with the idea and concealed the intel, but the empire still found out however there was no proof that the empire could use to forcibly stop the push.
That was when the twin brother of Emperor Albert, Alfred Dao tried to advise the Uldwin family against such action, but ultimately failed.
A short while later it was discovered that Alfred Dao had been assassinated and the empire declared that the Uldwin family did it due to Alfred saying some heated words to them in anger.
This is what allowed the empire to stop the Uldwin families push for power and it made all their allies back off and scrap their plans.
But Lirian however had a different opinion on the matter.
Lirian claimed that there were no heated words between Alfred and the Uldwin family, he even stated that even if there were such words it made absolutely no sense for the Uldwin family to assassinate the brother of the emperor when they were so close to their goal.
Lirian said that it was a ploy created by Telamon Dao who was the emperor's advisor, Lirian claimed that Telamon convinced the emperor to kill his own brother who he had dearly loved from child hood, and claim that he was assassinated after saying some heated words to the Uldwin family.
Lirian also said that, it also explained why the Uldwin family was still alive instead of being completely exterminated, it was because Emperor Albert felt guilty about laying a false charge on them so he spared them from total annihilation and only stripped them of most of their power.
The final straw that Lirian pulled on to justify his theory was Emperor Alberts suicide after he passed on the mantel of emperor, Lirian said that it was due to his guilt over murdering his own brother, that made him take his own life.
And Lirian pinned all the blame on Telamon, it was his final attempt to smear Telamon's name, he knew it to be true he wasted tons of fate particles to form and confirm his theory.
But that didn't mean the nobles bought it, at most they thought that it was something to look into at a later date, and fun topic to talk about.
It wasn't like no one had ever thought of the possibility that in his desperation to prevent the Uldwin families schemes, Emperor Albert killed his own brother.
But it was ridiculous so most people thought little of the possibility, and Lirian pinning the blame on Telamon, just proved how far his hate of Telamon went.
All in all, with the exception of that one question that was declared wrong, Lirian passed getting everything else correct, scoring an almost perfect score, it was likely the only test that Lirian didn't get full marks in.
