In The Age Of Mythology I Evolved Into A Stellar Behemoth

Destined Template, True Will

On May 11th, in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

Golden rays of light penetrated the glass and transparent curtains, illuminating the room with a bright and gentle warmth that made one feel cheerful.

On the bed, a girl slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was as bright and clear as the stars, her face like white jade, with elegant and poised features that seemed exceptionally charming under the soft laziness of the afternoon.

Lying on the bed, Yan Ruoyi stared blankly out the bright window, seemingly still not fully awake.

After a long while, a smile suddenly appeared on Yan Ruoyi's face: "Keep going, it's almost over." Saying this, the girl sat up from the bed.

Soon, dressed in a long dress with a blue base and purple lace, Yan Ruoyi walked out of her room, instinctively glancing towards the sofa.

There sat Chen Chu in a black suit, quietly reading a white book transformed from the secret classic, with countless rune phantoms swirling in his eyes, mysterious and unfathomable.

At this moment, sensing Yan Ruoyi coming out, Chen Chu's consciousness slowly withdrew from the secret classic.

"Brother Chu, what’s the progress of your secret classic?" Yan Ruoyi asked, a hint of curiosity appearing in her eyes.

Since knowing Chen Chu, aside from cultivating at night, he had been almost entirely engrossed in understanding the secret classic during the day, not letting even a moment slip by.

Such persistent determination was something even Yan Ruoyi found astonishing.

In her earlier years, she had followed her father and seen many geniuses.

There were prodigies who broke through to the seventh level of heaven by the age of twenty, like the monster Brudos who took shortcuts in gene martial arts, or the talents in the mechanical arts.

Additionally, she had seen a few heirs of kings and innate awakened ones.

But someone as young as Chen Chu, achieving such accomplishments and remaining calm and diligent in his cultivation, was quite rare.

After all, young people often had youthful impulsiveness, and their mindset would change once they surpassed their peers at a certain stage.

In response to Yan Ruoyi’s inquiry, Chen Chu thought for a moment: "It's almost completed."

There was nothing to hide about this progress.

Instantly, Yan Ruoyi was taken aback, then exclaimed in astonishment: "What? Your secret classic has already been created! How is that possible?"

Chen Chu shook his head: "Not completely, just the seventh layer."

Even so, a look of shock appeared on Yan Ruoyi's face.

Although it was only the seventh layer, it represented that the overall outline, foundation, and core rune structures had all been completely deduced, which was almost equivalent to having created the entire secret classic.

The subsequent eighth and ninth layers would simply extend step by step along the structure of the seventh layer.

What stunned Yan Ruoyi was that it had only been a month since Chen Chu created the secret classic, yet he had managed to create a top-tier secret classic from scratch.

This… even she didn’t know what to say.

After all, even those high-level experts at the ninth level of heaven took years to create a regular secret classic based on themselves, which just showed how terrifying Chen Chu's one-month timeframe was.

Especially since he was deducing and creating it from the sixth level of heaven, rather than deducing it in reverse after reaching the end of the path.

Yan Ruoyi's eyes sparkled as she marveled: "Sister feels that the Federation's evaluation of your talent is still too low. The so-called unparalleled prodigies are not as exaggerated as you."

"Even Xiao Tianyi from over a decade ago took three months to create a secret classic when he broke through from the sixth to the seventh level."

In the face of Yan Ruoyi's praise, Chen Chu shook his head: "Being able to perfect the secret classic so quickly is probably related to my refinement of the divine might dragon elephant runes."

"Creating on the foundation of the same source is much simpler than starting from scratch."
