The next moment, faint threads of light began to emerge from her body as well. A blooming lotus flower appeared, as if appreciating its own beauty in solitude. The light of this lotus enveloped her figure, and when facing the little mouse ahead, she looked as if she were confronting a formidable enemy.
Violet Bennett was secretly startled. Her divine blessing guardian had actually manifested itself automatically for defense. Could it be that the divine object her little brother was visualizing was actually from some powerful deity?
However, in that very instant, Logan Bennett gave his wrist a slight twist, and the mouse in his palm instantly vanished. He looked at Violet Bennett with joy in his eyes and said, “Sister, did I succeed?”
Violet Bennett gave him a deep look and said, “Yes, little brother, you succeeded.” She said solemnly, “Rest well today. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the temple for the divine blessing entry test. But during the test, I need you to do one thing.”
Logan Bennett nodded repeatedly and said, “Sister, just tell me. I’ll definitely do it.”
“All right, when the divine blessing descends upon you, I want you to suppress your power. No matter what, you must not let it fully manifest as a diagram.”

“Manifest as a diagram?” Logan Bennett looked utterly incredulous. “Sister, you must be joking. How could I possibly make the divine object manifest as a diagram?”
Right now, he had only just set foot on the path of cultivation. Although, thanks to beast chess, he had repeatedly received divine blessings—not only successfully refining his body with starlight, but even achieving the manifestation of divine grace.
But that was already his limit. As for the manifestation of divine grace as a diagram, as Violet Bennett described, that was a miracle born only when the power of divine grace and one’s own starlight were both pushed to the extreme and fused together. It was said that only after receiving the “divine blessing’s awakening” could one possess such formidable, superhuman power.
Although Logan Bennett was brimming with confidence from the repeated favor of the divine, he had never imagined he could achieve such a miracle in one leap.
Violet Bennett sighed softly and said, “Little brother, I know that manifesting as a diagram is basically impossible, but you’ve received divine favor after just a day of cultivation, refined your body with starlight, and in less than a month, you’ve even managed to manifest divine grace. A faint, bitter smile appeared on her face. “The first time you participate in the divine blessing trial, it often triggers the greatest degree of divine empowerment. At that time, even I can’t be sure whether you’ll create another miracle.”
Rubbing his nose, Logan Bennett widened his eyes and said, “Sister, aren’t you overthinking it?”
Violet Bennett shot him an exasperated look, and that rare, charming, delicate expression made Logan Bennett stare in a daze. Enraged, Violet Bennett reached out and flicked him hard on the head. “You little rascal, did you understand what your sister just told you?”
Logan Bennett clutched his head in pain and nodded repeatedly. At this moment, it was best to just agree, whether he’d heard it clearly or not.
With a light snort, Violet Bennett continued, “I’ve taken the rank assessment several times myself, and I know it well. The first assessment is the most important, and the amount of divine blessing you receive is crucial. Judging by your performance, I really can’t say how far you’ll go.”
Logan Bennett rolled his eyes, then suddenly said, “Sister, when others take the entry assessment, they give it their all, afraid they won’t get enough divine blessing. Why do you want me to hide my power?”
Violet Bennett’s expression changed slightly. She sighed and said, “Little brother, you’re still young and don’t know some things. But I promise you, as long as you can make it through a year, I’ll take you to the continent to see a whole new world.”
A look of delight suddenly flashed across Logan Bennett’s face. “Sister, does that mean we’ll be apart for at most a year?”
“Mhm.” Violet Bennett let out a soft hum from her nose, threatening, “But you have to listen to Big Brother Sullivan’s instructions. Don’t go around causing trouble. If you can’t do that, I’ll leave you here and never come back for you.”
Logan Bennett quickly put his hands together and solemnly promised to behave.
Only when he saw Violet Bennett’s expression improve did he suddenly say, “Sister, you want me to hide my divine blessing power—are you trying to keep it from others?”
Violet Bennett hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “Since you want to know so badly, I won’t hide it anymore. If your divine blessing talent were discovered on the continent, it would indeed be a tremendous good fortune. But here, that’s not necessarily the case.” Her expression grew extremely serious. “The four great families on the island control everything. If you reveal your full power, how could they possibly let you go?”
Logan Bennett raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and said, “I understand. Thank you, Sister.”
Seeing the thoughtful look in his eyes, Violet Bennett asked suspiciously, “Do you really understand?”
