Chapter 1206 Rite Of Passage.
?Tanc830,428,723C replied, "It is a test of wisdom and also a learning exercise. You have proven your ability to fight and survive in the blood crucible. The reward for it is that your potential has been maximized. But it is another thing if you can realize your potential."
"The Supreme Alliance doesn't want to waste its resources on someone stupid. So you will be placed in any environment that will pressure you in hopes that the pressure will bring out your potential. The rite of passage will also increase your life experiences and broaden your horizon so that you will be able to pass the tribulation to become an Origin god."
Legion-5 asked, "So it is a test of intelligence?"
"Mostly, yes."
"Then I have nothing to wait for. Intelligence cannot be increased no matter how much time I have."
Tanc830,428,723C didn't agree. "You have spoken like a true ignorant child. Innate intelligence cannot be increased but there are other factors that determine intelligent decision making. There is knowledge and wisdom from experiences. I advise you to accumulate knowledge and experience before you participate in the rite of passage. You haven't experienced much at all."

"It is also a test. It is a test that you can fail. It is a test that you can't fail because your performance in the rite of passage will determine what kind of immortal you will be and what kind of power you will have as an immortal."
Legion-5 still didn't back down. "I am sure I will do fine."
Tanc830,428,723C sighed and said, "It is my job to advise you to take some time. I have done that. Do you still intend to start the rite of passage as soon as possible?"
Legion-5 replied confidently, "Yes. I want to start it as soon as possible."
His mentor grumbled for a while. "I thought you were smart but it seems you're still too young. This decision is rash but I will honor it. The next rite of passage is in a year. Let me see if they have a slot for you. I will get back to you about the details soon. I hope for your sake that there is no available slot."
The call went dead for a while. It left Legion-5 with his thoughts. The rite of passage might be very important and difficult for other Supreme beasts but he can't take it seriously since the blood crucible wasn't dangerous to him.
A lot of Supreme beasts died in the blood crucible. Only 1 in 256 survived. If he could pass the blood crucible easily, then he should be able to pass the rite of passage which his mentor has stated isn't dangerous at all.
The major reason why he wants to have the rite of passage so soon is because he doesn't have anything useful to spend his time on. Luxury and relaxation are good and all but Legion only cares about the increase in strength and progress towards the path of perfection.
Even Legion-8 who has not hatched yet is very busy in the egg. Legion-8 is undergoing trials to gain ancestral bestowals which is full of information about dragons. Legion's knowledge about the origin of dragons and some secrets of the world is increasing rapidly through Legion-8's efforts. The other clones are also busy and Legion-7 needs him to meet up soon so Legion-5 can't sit around doing nothing.
Besides, from what Soverick overheard, this rite of passage is important and there will be a lot of resources. He has to take advantage of it. It is not in his nature to let such a good opportunity go to waste.
Tanc830,428,723C called back after a few seconds. He said, "I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky. There is a slot for you. The location of the rite of passage is the Stellaris plane and the race of interest there are the Stellos. I will send you all the information you need to have about them to you so you can prepare."
Legion-5 knew that but he still asked, "What is the Stellaris plane?"
"It is a new plane that was subjugated 3 Origin cycles ago by the Supreme Alliance."

"You will find out when you get there. It changes depending on the mood of the supreme alliance and the current situation of the plane."
"What about my request for the world seed? Is there any update?"
Tanc830,428,723C replied with a mental chuckle of amusement, "Don't count on it kid. What you asked for is very big and very powerful. And you are very weak. They are not certain it won't go to waste if it is given to you."
Legion-5 said with slight disdain, "If they don't try then they have already failed. They shouldn't expect anything good if they are not willing to put in the effort. A world seed is worthy of being risked for the chance to become a world god."
His mentor did not agree. "It is easier to talk than to take action. It is even easier to fail in action than to succeed. You don't know the value of a world seed so you don't know what it takes to risk losing it."
Legion-5 didn't deny it. "I may be ignorant but I am not the desperate one. They are. I am also risking my life so I am not entirely clueless about the risks involved."
Tanc830,428,723C did a mental shrug. "You are right about that. You also have something valuable to lose. But you should forget about it for now. You won't be able to receive it until you become a Sovereign even if the world seed is available. That's the minimum power required by the Supreme Alliance to leave the plane."
