Chapter 171: Divine Rank 5
Rei kept a stern face as he stood on the roof of the buildings.
"Master. Are you ok?" Fey asked as she landed lightly next to him.
"Mn, just thinking about something." Rei replied as he thought about his next actions.
He has a few requirements to complete for this world in order to get the second part of the god tempered body.
[ ✔ ]Must become a teacher at First Magic High School.
[ -- ]Must teach for a minimum of 3 years.
[ ✔ ]Must make sure your name goes down in history.
[ -- ]Must make sure you teach MC Tatsuya new knowledge.
He had done two of the four tasks so he was half way to the finish.
The end of the three-year limit would be Tatsuya's first year in First High School.
'If I remember correctly, it was Tatsuya's second year that he had to face the Great Asian Union. In his first year he had to deal with a terrorist attack by Blanche and the nine schools competition affected by the No Head Dragon's.' Rei thought trying to remember details about the series.
'Next year, Miya Shiba would die and Tatsuya's dad would remarry.' Rei remembered as he narrowed his eyes.
'Nothing significant is happening next year except for these two events. As for the butterfly effect, I doubt Blanche would attack the school data base due to me being there. No Head Dragon's won't interfere if they see me. Hmm....'
'I'll use this time to store power like what Vex did so when the restrictions are lifted again, I can charge for the next Divine Rank straight away. There are a few more abilities that are beneficial to me so I should go get them as well. Time is short, the figure told me I would die if I didn't reach my potential so I need to go for the God Realms as soon as possible. I also have the Trials to worry about as well.' Rei mused to himself as Fey waited patiently by the side.
"Yaiba! Harumi!" Rei called out as he waited for his two students to appear.
It didn't take long as they were nearby.
"What is it sensei?" Yaiba asked.
"Tell your grandfather that the vow has been completed. All of you can move and migrate to other places now. Also I'll be heading back early, I'll see you when the school term starts." Rei said as they both nodded.
"In that case then see you in the new term sensei." Yaiba said as he bowed. Harumi did the same as Rei nodded and flashed away with Flying Thunder God with Fey.
"Harumi, don't you think sensei changed a little?" Yaiba asked.
"I feel like sensei became more serious and... Anxious?" She replied slightly tilting her head in confusion.

Appearing back at his house, Rei quickly went to work with figuring how to cultivate more effectively whilst not harming the integrity of the planet.
'First step is to make sure everything is isolated like the space I was in earlier. The most likely solution is probably similar to using Kamui but instead of just the information plane, I need an independent space that isn't effect by this world's laws.' Rei thought as he decided to do some renovations with his room.
Storing everything away, Rei started to carve out seals around the room.
'Easiest way would be for me to make a connection into the God Ascension Realms or rather the cultivation tower.' Rei thought as he attempted to establish a connection but failed to do so manually.
'System, can you link me back to the God Ascension Realm?' Rei asked.
[Negative. For the host's current purpose, the system is unable to.]
Rei frowned as he sighed slightly.
'Then I'll just need to punch a hole through realms and connect it that way.' Rei thought as his eyes narrowed.
'System help me find skills needed to complete this task.'
[Browsing host's skill database.... Skills detected.
-Lock On
-Enhanced Power
-Warp
-Seal
-Duplication
-Terminal
-Law Editor
-Space Laws
Temporary Skills available.
Lock On + Enhanced Power + Warp + Seal + Duplication + Terminal + Law Editor + Space Laws = Transfer Realm Sector
Transfer Realm Sector: A skill that allows for the host to make a connection to a section of a known realm and copy the realm features such as laws and atmosphere. Great skill for close door cultivation.]
'Good.' Rei nodded as he channelled his energy into his fists. Through creating the Temporary Skill, Rei was able to understand how to use it straight away.
The energy from his fist encompassed the entire room as Rei imagined the room from the cultivation tower.
'Naturally, the only room he could copy was the weakest of all the rooms since he didn't battle for the higher tier rooms.' Rei frowned knowing that he would probably need to visit the towers again.
Seals around the room started to light up as they were the stabilising factors that Rei had just put in place to help him.
A familiar dark galaxy covered the room as Rei felt his restrictions get lifted.
Clenching his spare fist with power, Rei completed the room as fast as possible before stabilising it so it wouldn't break or run out of energy quickly.
'Cultivation room is done, I should tell Fey about what plan whilst I prepare to shoot for Divine Rank 5.'
###
"...And so that is the plan." Rei said after explaining the set ups for an hour.
"Understood master." Fey nodded simply as it wasn't her role to decide what Rei did and didn't do. She was only his maid/helper.
"There are still a little over two months until the new term starts so I want you remind me on the day." Rei reminded once more as she nodded.
"Have fun cultivating master." She said politely as Rei disappeared into his room.
Sitting himself in the middle of the room, Rei sat down as he calmed himself. The blessing the figure gave was really astounding as he could feel a rise in his cultivation already.
Rei started to gather energy as it was enhanced by the blessing.
'With my calculations, I should be able to enter Divine Rank 5 in a few days. I can also use that time to challenge the Element God Trials.' Rei thought as his task were laid out before him. All he needed to do now was to complete them all.
###
The world was quiet overall but had strong undercurrents. The strength Rei shown in the Nine Schools Competition, whilst not directly, had made them fearful. If any of the systems he had created were to be used against them by more talented magicians, they were sure that Rei could dominate them easily. Little did they know, Rei himself was a calamity. So with or without others help, he could still end them if he wished.
The only calming factor was that it doesn't seem like he was spreading the code out. Every organisation had put man power into trying to decode his sequences but they were too far behind in the knowledge required.
In a room with five people, every one of them had serious faces on.
"It seems like the other students aren't able to use these sequences without Yotsuba Rei's permission." A person said as he displayed the data.
"I was able to plant a few spies near the houses of these people and find out that except for enhanced base abilities and the simpler sequences, they aren't able to use any of the specialised sequences. Not even the automated common with the lower tier contestants of the Demon Class." A person followed up.
"The government had started to classify his sequences. The ones with the names of god are now known as the God Series. The others aren't as impressive as the God Series so they were just classified as Top Tier Spells." Another person replied reading the data.
"How many Valkyries have we sent up?"
"We've managed to send up 23 out of the 50 we need."
"Good. From the speed we're progressing, we should be done by 2096."
"Wait why would it be then? Wouldn't we be giving Yotsuba Rei more time to improve and get stronger?"
"We can't rush this. We have one chance and one chance only. Better be prudent than to fuck up because we rushed the preparations."
"Second that."
"But it also isn't without truth either. The more time we give Yotsuba Rei the stronger he could get. In fact, whilst we're doing this. Prepare plan Zero in case Valkyrie fail."
This caused the other four to nod.
"Sigh.... Such a shame. Yotsuba Rei, this kind of genius was born at the wrong time. He's too dangerous for the stability of the current world, we aren't ready for the kind of benefits brought by his genius."
"It's a shame but we have to do this. Powers all over the world are eyeing his intelligence. The moment he shows any kind of weakness it could lead to the next world war. But this time, the war won't end until only one faction remains with his data or that the data is destroyed. Otherwise, this war could be the very thing to end this world."
The five people sighed as it was something they had to do.
###
Breaking into Divine Rank 5 wasn't hard as Rei felt improvements all around his stats.
[Name: Rei
Age: N/A
Combat Rank: Divine Rank 5 (15%) New!
Body rank: Divine Rank 6 (25% -> 82%) New!
Soul Rank: Divine Rank 6 (42% -> 91%) New!
Will Rank: Low God (2%) New!]
[Element God Trials unlocked, would host like to challenge the Trial now? Y/N]
'Hmm... I still have roughly a month left... System, accept the trial.' Rei thought as his vision soon blurred.
He was inside a room as he could see six doors. Five were the generic element being Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and lightening. The last one was blank and Rei could theorise that it was the conceptual elements such as space and time.
'Let's go with Fire first.' Rei thought stepping into the Fire Door.
[Element God Trial 1 - Survive the baptism of fire.
Trial 1 of the Element God Inheritance. Many have tried but ultimately died after being burnt into nothingness. Can you survive?]
Reading the note, Rei raised an eyebrow.
'Surely it can't be that bad right? I also have gluttony so I can just eat the fire.' Rei thought as his vision was suddenly blinded by light.
[Restrictions activated - Skills disabled.]
O_o?!
Rei's eyes instantly became blood shot as he felt his lungs set on fire.
He wanted to scream but couldn't. The moment he opened his mouth fire would enter burning everything inside.
Rei clenched his teeth as his eyes glared at the fire.
'Fuck! Since I'm going to die if I don't try, this bit of pain is nothing!' Rei thought as he tried his best to ignore the pain and sat down.
###
"HOLY CRAP!" The Element God shouted out suddenly drawing the attention of the other gods. They were surprised that the normally calm Element God were shouting.
"What wrong?" War Saint Ophelia asked seeing this.
"That lad challenged the baptism of fire first! He's got the order wrong!" He said as he frowned.
"Even though there were three fails, the baptism of fire was a special one. This trial will cleanse the body and soul washing it through with the purifying flames. These flames are highly volatile and the moment there is a weakness, the flames will devour the person's soul. He was supposed to challenge the other trials first before the fire and blank. The gentle currents of water, the defences of earth, the adaptability of wind and the fighting force of lightning. These four trials will train his body up to the standard to fight the Trials of Fire!" The element god said as he frowned.
"What?! Why the hell didn't you write it down then!!!" The system god cried out in shock.
"I couldn't! The trials were passed down from God to successor. The element god trials never changed and it was all the same. The god was supposed to educate the successor on how to beat the trials." The element god said as he frowned. When he became an element god, his master had trained him arduously in hope of him to succeed his mantle.
"Are you dumb?! Does it look like any of us got the chance to teach him never mind telling him about the trials?!" Ophelia said as she felt like wanting to slap the element god into comatose.
"Hold up, so you're telling me you forgot to write down the basic instructions of your trial?" The war god said looking over at the element god.
"...." 'I sorry, please don't look at me!'
"What are you all worried about?" The beast god asked as she sat on the table playfully.
"We're worried that he will die and never reincarnate!" The war god said as he glared at her.
"Bitch please, we beast cultivators are more sensitive than most cultivators. I can sense his will power having the potential to never break. He's not going to falter don't worry." She said with a wave of her hand.
"Easy for you to say. He's not your successor." The war god retorted.
The beast god shrugged as she stopped responding.
"Enough, she isn't wrong though. He recently ascended into low god rank will power." The system god said as he looked at the recent updates. However, he wasn't able to see the blessing Rei received since the person who blessed Rei was the system's creator. If he didn't want people to see it, not even the system god could find out what he hid.
"Wait, did you just say low god rank will power?" The element god asked looking over.
"Yeah."
"Since he challenged your trial straight away, isn't he Divine Rank 5?!" Ophelia said with a 'what the fuck' face.
"Wait a second... element god what will power rank were you when you succeeded your ascension?" Ophelia asked looked at the element god.
"Cough!... Low god rank..." The element god replied realising he made a big deal out of nothing.
Seeing the gaze the other four gave him, the element god felt like he wanted to cry.
'Come on! It was an honest mistake!'
