Chapter 278: Chapter 216: The Divine Realm Expands Again, Northern Heaven Ridge

BOOM—!

As Chief Instructor Yang, in a single breath, finished explaining all the effects of infusing a Divine Realm with Subspace Origin, the entire Starry Hall fell into absolute silence.

It was as if time itself had frozen.

But a moment later, a wave of noise a hundred times more intense than the chatter from when the students first arrived in the Starry Hall erupted with a roar!

"What? A chance to load an extra Divine Domain Card this month!"

"How could something like that possibly exist?" some students asked in disbelief.

"What? To think that in the first year of a Divine Realm’s existence, there’s a month where you can load two Divine Domain Cards! How could something that defies all common sense exist?" Some students simply couldn’t accept the news.

"Didn’t all our teachers at school swear up and down that you can only load one Divine Domain Card per month during the first year of a Divine Realm’s existence? What is going on? What else are the higher-ups at the Blue Star Federation hiding from us?" some students demanded, openly questioning the Federation’s leadership.

Others even questioned whether they were dreaming. "Did I hear that right? Someone, quick, pinch me! I need to know if I’m dreaming or if this is real!"

...

At that moment, whether they were students in the Wooden Seats or those on the Bronze, Silver, or even Golden Thrones, every single one of them had lost their composure. No matter their status or how powerful their background, the only difference was the degree to which they lost it.

After all, if someone told you that a truth you had clung to for eighteen years—or even longer, far longer, if you counted the time spent in your Divine Realm—was a complete lie, anyone would lose their composure in disbelief! In Zhang Yi’s past life, during the Middle Ages in Europe, Bruno—the first to support Copernicus’s heliocentric theory and deny that the Earth was the center of the universe—was burned alive by the church.

Once a belief is shattered, people are capable of anything. Fortunately, Chief Instructor Yang’s earlier words had acted as a shot in the arm for the students in the low to mid-tier thrones, preventing them from suffering severe psychological trauma in that short time. However, a mix of complex emotions—ecstasy, anger, sorrow, and even a faint trace of fear—all merged. Like a volcano, they erupted, completely igniting the tense atmosphere in the Starry Hall.

The notion that one could only load one Divine Domain Card per month during the first year of a Divine Realm’s existence was something their parents and university professors had taught them. It was an unquestionable, iron-clad rule. Throughout the Blue Star Federation’s three long eras of development, countless books had warned them of this. These books cited innumerable case studies of self-proclaimed geniuses who had tried to load an extra Divine Domain Card in a single month during their Divine Realm’s first year, only to cause its collapse. All this evidence served to prove the existence of this iron-clad rule.

But now, Chief Instructor Yang was telling them something completely different: that during the first year of a Divine Realm’s existence, it was actually possible to load an extra Divine Domain Card in a given month. The only price was a large amount of Subspace Origin. This undoubtedly shattered their previous understanding.

However, when he heard this, Zhang Yi’s first reaction was not doubt. After all, upon hearing Chief Instructor Yang’s words, Zhang Yi, who had been lost in thought, instantly recalled something he had seen in his grandfather’s collection room as a child. It was identical to the annotations his grandfather had written by hand. If it had just been Chief Instructor Yang saying it, Zhang Yi might have had his doubts. But since it involved his grandfather, Zhang Yi chose to believe it.

Meanwhile, Chief Instructor Yang didn’t let the students in the Starry Hall stew in that atmosphere for too long. The uproar lasted for only half a minute before he intervened.

As Chief Instructor Yang released a sliver of his vast aura as a Middle-Level Divine Being, an immense, invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Starry Hall. Every student felt their breath catch in their throats, including those on the Golden Thrones. The pressure returned, permeating every student’s heart and Spirit and slowing their thoughts to a crawl. This was a suppression stemming from a higher level of Life itself, and it crushed any thought of resistance.

However, once the Starry Hall fell silent again, Chief Instructor Yang withdrew that wisp of Divine Power.

Countless students from seats of all tiers, still shaken, looked at Chief Instructor Yang with expressions full of confusion and doubt. But he maintained his composure.

"Rules are not set in stone, and perception has its limits," he said, his voice as placid as a still well. "A technology that was impossible at the beginning of the Third Era doesn’t mean it’s still impossible in the Middle Stage of the Third Era.

"Sometimes, your status determines your perception. Something you believe to be impossible might just be because you aren’t standing high enough.

"Think about the invitation to the University Alliance Training Camp. When it was delivered to you, wasn’t there a sentence engraved on the back? ’You are forbidden from disclosing the specific details of your experiences at the University Alliance Training Camp in any form.’"

Chief Instructor Yang’s words seemed to possess a special Magic Power, guiding the students to unconsciously follow his train of thought.
