"How did the Ghost Fief's Godly Genius manage to develop his pillar of divine power in such a short time?" The woman, intrigued by this, let out a playful smile as she looked at her crystal ball.
She saw a group of Shura Race members in the Ghost Fief's slum built a temple for their Godly Genius. Inside it was a faceless statue which they worshiped and offered offerings to every day.
"I didn't expect that in less than a month, people would build a temple for him and worship him devoutly. Such merits are the reason for the sudden increase of the pillar of divine power. It seems that I did not choose the wrong person. How special!" the woman exclaimed with a grin etched on her face.
The next day, the square of the leader's mansion was once again overcrowded with people waiting for the announcement of the progress of the pillars of divine power.
Rocky, who would rather spend his time elsewhere, was forced to come. As a Godly Genius, it was his duty to do so. Otherwise, it would be simply disrespectful to the god who was about to announce the results.
The air was tense with anticipation. After waiting for nearly two hours, a spear of red light suddenly rained down the sky and was followed by a divine voice.
"I will announce the progress of each of the nine Godly Geniuses. From this moment on, I expect nothing from our candidates than to do their best with the remaining time they have."
"One foot and three inches for the Godly Genius of the Primitive Fief."
The nine fiefs all snickered as their excitement and joy boiled over. No one in history had ever managed to achieve such growth with their pillar of divine power in only a month.
The territory of the Primitive Fief also burst into a loud, triumphant cheer. They believed no one could stand up to their Godly Genius.
The next Godly Geniuses only managed to grow their pillars of divine power by about eight inches to one foot.
It was only when the result of the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief was announced that the audience began to stir. It managed to reach a height of one foot and two inches, second only to that of the Godly Genius of the Primitive Fief.
"I didn't expect the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief would be so talented. Good thing we agreed to let her get engaged to our Godly Genius," Gilbert said with a sigh of relief.
"I wonder how the progress of our Godly Genius is."
"Alas! He must be the weakest of them all! Humph, I bet his pillar of divine power doesn't even reach five inches!"
"A Godly Genius that spends his time treating the poor? If word of this goes out, he'll be a laughingstock!"
The big shots of the Ghost Fief all threw their banter at Rocky.
"Next, I will announce the progress of the last Godly Genius's performance. The height of the pillar of divine power of the Ghost Fief's Godly Genius is one foot," the godly voice announced.
People from the eight fiefs were all in shock. They couldn't believe what they heard.
"I didn't expect this unknown Godly Genius's pillar of divine power has reached one foot."
"Yes, I heard that he is a nobody!"
"It seems that the Ghost Fief can't be underestimated!"
Even the square in Gilbert's mansion was in uproar. No one, especially the elders and the officials, expected Rocky to do well in only half a month.
"And another five inches should be added!" the voice from the heavens continued. In an instant, the loud crowd suddenly fell silent. The members of the Shura Race had their mouths hanging wide open.
Dumbfounded, the leader of the Primitive Fief asked, "Exactly how tall is the pillar of divine power of the Ghost Fief's Godly Genius?"
