When Yang Tian was taking the test, Great Priest Tai Yu wasn't actually in the Tai Yu Palace.
There were a total of thirty-six great priests gathered in the Maze Palace where Great Priest Yu Chen was.
These thirty-six were the most senior members of the Super Star Divinity Temple.
Even a new Great Shaman like Hong Yujiu wasn't qualified to participate in the research of the thirty-six of them.
Great Priest Kaya, Great Priest Tai Yu, Great Priest Guan Yu, Great Priest Yu Chen …
These people were all very proficient in certain aspects.
Kaya had traveled the universe for a very long time and was very knowledgeable. He had a unique understanding of everything in the universe.
Great Priest Tai Yu was proficient in runes.
Great Priest Guan Yu and Great Priest Yu Chen were prophets of the temple. In fact, they were proficient in using known information and time runes to calculate future outcomes.
There was also Great Priest Mei Chen, who had great mental power and came from the Music Realm Star Field. He could see through the essence of cultivators at a glance.
Great Priest Empty God cultivated three types of energy at the same time. He was a genius in cultivation and the number one expert of the Super Star Divinity Temple.
These thirty-six people had been gathered together for a very long time.
The object of their research was the mysterious youth's headless corpse that Yang Tian had brought back.
The Super Star Divinity Temple had existed for a very long time. It was so long ago that even the great priests of the temple no longer believed the temple's claims about the universe.
These thirty-six people were all extremely talented people. At the same time, they were also the oldest.
It wouldn't be long before they died one by one.
That was because their lifespans were reaching the end.
Long, long ago, everyone knew that the higher one's cultivation was, the longer one could live.
However, realms were limited for the humans in this universe.
The publicly recognized peak cultivation was the Great Star God.
Great Star Gods had very long lifespans. They could live for at least three hundred thousand years.
Three hundred thousand years was a very long time!
For ordinary humans, this was simply unimaginable. Perhaps they felt that it was enough for them to live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
However, for these experts who had lived for close to 300,000 years, or had lived for more than 300,000 years, time was still too short.
If they couldn't break through to the Great Star God realm, what awaited them would be forever disappearing from the universe.
However, this mysterious corpse gave them hope.
Thirty-six High Priests gathered here and studied it for a long time, but none of them made any progress.
Their method of experimentation was to first extract some of the powerful cells from the corpses and implant them into human bodies.
Ordinary humans couldn't do it. They possessed great strength for a short period of time, but soon after, with a 'peng' sound, they exploded, leaving behind a pile of rotten flesh.
After several experiments, the results were the same.
Next up were the cultivators.
Meteor state, planetary state, star state, and even super state cultivators were captured and used for experiments.
As a result …
The bodies of these cultivators exploded just like those of ordinary humans.
The only difference was the time of destruction and the power of the explosion.
As for the Great Star Lords above the Superstar State, the Great Priest had already experimented on his own body, which proved to be a failure.
Through his mental power, Mei Chen penetrated deep into the Flying Cloud Grand Priest's cell nucleus and understood the entire process of the changes clearly.
These experiments proved that the human body could not withstand such cellular changes.
In that case, he would experiment with other types of creatures.
Exotic beasts, beastmen, insectoids …
Countless organic lifeforms had been experimented on, but there were still no results.
Of course, the failures of these experiments didn't make the Great Priests give up.
They began to experiment, using technology and all kinds of energy to stimulate the powerful cells of the body …
At this moment, the Great Priest Yu Chen's' Maze Palace 'was more like a scientific laboratory.
In this spacious space, there were countless scientific instruments, runic instruments, and all kinds of tools to store energy …
These Great Priests usually looked down on scientific instruments, but now they had to use them.
As for the use of the instruments, they were all operated by intelligent programs. One sentence could make them work.
The operation was even more precise than manual labor.
Each of the thirty-six Great Priests had a detailed division of labor.
Great Priest Kaya was responsible for making suggestions and observing the results of various experiments. Great Priest Mei Chen was responsible for observing microscopic changes and providing detailed observation data. Great Priest Tai Yu was responsible for using runes to set up a rune array to prevent energy from leaking out.
Great Priest Guan Yu and Great Priest Yu Chen were responsible for calculating the future according to the changes in various data.
Every once in a while, the thirty-six Great Priests would sit together and have a discussion.
They would also take care of the matters outside while they were at it.
The Super Star Divinity Temple had a lot of work to do, from small things like the reward for each Divine General to big things like conquering a star field.
During this process, Great Priest Guan Yu and Great Priest Yu Chen would also make some calculations.
Both of them had half a time rune tool in their hands. When they worked together, they could see some vague scenes of the future.
The past couldn't be changed, but the future could be changed by the present.
This was also in line with the theory of karma.
"Yang Tian has entered my Great Universe Palace and is undergoing an examination," Great Priest Tai Yu said indifferently.
The thirty-six Great Priests present all had very old faces. Their hair was like withered grass. Judging by the age of Earth, each of them looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Great Priest Tai Yu had neatly combed long white hair. He was one of the youngest of the thirty-six Great Priests, around seventy years old.
He wore a black robe that was similar to the one worn by Great Priest Fei Yun, but it was newer.
The black robe was also embroidered with runes.
Under such circumstances, the reason Yang Tian was mentioned was because the two prophets, Great Priest Guan Yu and Great Priest Yu Chen, had calculated the name 'Yang Tian' a long time ago.
All of this seemed to be related to Yang Tian.
When Yang Tian was mentioned, Great Priest Guan Yu said, "Something happened in the first round of the examination and the results changed."
After Great Priest Guan Yu said this, Great Priest Yu Chen added, "That's why I decided to let him stay."
Great Priest Tai Yu smiled, "It's better not to calculate now. It might change later. Let's wait until it's decided."
After Great Priest Tai Yu said this, a female Great Priest said, "Will it affect the Lady Goddess?"
When this female Great Priest mentioned the Lady Goddess, Great Priest Guan Yu and Great Priest Yu Chen's expressions turned ugly.
If Yang Tian and the Lady Goddess were to be calculated together, it would cause them great harm.
During the last calculation, Great Priest Guan Yu had vomited blood and his lifespan had decreased by at least a hundred years.
It was obvious that someone even more powerful had used some method to prevent them from calculating.
This was too frightening!
This also indirectly proved that there were cultivators even more powerful than the Great Star God in this universe.
Perhaps … it was that group of people from back then.
