Chapter 11: Chu Hao's Conjecture
While the instructors were still shocked by Chu Hao's "daring move,"
Chu Hao himself had already left the dormitory and headed to the Academic Affairs Office to apply for an early assessment.
He was doing this because he had figured out how to catalyze the creation of divine creatures like demons.
"A demon is a creature that is explosive, irritable, full of malice, and completely lacking in morality," Chu Hao thought as he walked.
"But these are only the surface traits of demons, not their defining characteristic."
"The true characteristic of demons is their endless desire for expansion!"
"These terrifying creatures are born to destroy and annihilate."
"Their greatest pleasure is invading various dimensions, spreading fear and destruction!"
Chu Hao sighed.
"Currently, in the Endless Abyss I've created, although the chaotic rules and harsh environment have been replicated, most of the abyssal creatures are just killing each other and competing for limited resources."
"While this slaughter may seem thrilling, it is simply adaptation to the environment…"
"So I need to give all abyssal creatures an external pressure!"
"They must understand that their existence is not just to dominate the Endless Abyss, but to expand outward!"
"Outside the Endless Abyss, there are abundant treasures and opportunities!"
"At the same time, they must realize that creatures from other dimensions are their greatest enemies!"
"Only in this way will creatures like demons, which are extremely eager to invade, be nurtured by the Endless Abyss!"
With this in mind, Chu Hao arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.

Meanwhile, the instructors, still unsure what Chu Hao was thinking, remained in chaos.
"This Chu Hao is really being carried away by the current favorable conditions," one instructor said irritably.
"There's nearly half a month before the assessment deadline. What he should do is steadily build his divine world, not bother with a flashy and useless early assessment!"
Another instructor offered a different explanation.
"I have a new idea. Could it be that Chu Hao deliberately applied early for the first stage, so that the assessment process would be extended as much as possible, allowing his world to recover sooner?"
It should be noted that the assessment at Tianding University is divided into three stages.
Each graduate can apply for the three stages in batches according to their own pace.
However, the process of these assessments is very bloody.
Large numbers of alien invaders entering a divine world can easily cause damage to it.
So most students take the first and second assessments in advance, leaving some time for the divine world to recover before attempting the third stage.
"Maybe, but even so…"
Another instructor rebutted.
"You must know, the strongest creature in Chu Hao's world is only a 4th-rank creature!"
These instructors could observe the strength of Chu Hao's world through the world projection.
In the projection, many instructors' attention was drawn to a muscular, clawed abyssal "monster."
Although the creature looked terrifying, appearance and strength are two different things.
"And there's only one of these 4th-rank creatures!"
"This single 4th-rank creature cannot take on a 5th-rank creature head-on!"
"…"
Hearing these discussions about Chu Hao's plan, Wang Zhi felt a headache coming on.
"Enough! Everyone be quiet!"
Wang Zhi slammed the table.
An invisible wave swept through, and all the instructors immediately closed their mouths.
"If Chu Hao wants to do this, then let him do it!"
"I admit Chu Hao is a genius, and the thoughts of a genius are not for us to speculate on!"
"I agree to let Chu Hao take the early assessment!"
After saying this, Wang Zhi stood up and walked toward the exit of the observation room.
Seeing Wang Zhi leaving, several instructors froze.
"Vice-Principal Wang, are you leaving?"
"Aren't you going to continue observing Chu Hao's progress?"
Wang Zhi sighed.
"No, I'm just going to the Principal's Office first…"
Hearing "Principal's Office," the instructors gasped.
"The Principal's Office?!"
"Isn't the Principal in seclusion, running her own divine world?"
"Yes, I remember she said before her last seclusion, we shouldn't disturb her unless necessary."
Several years had passed since the Principal last appeared, and during this time, almost everything inside Tianding University had been managed by Vice-Principal Wang Zhi.
No one dared to disturb the Principal in her seclusion.
After all, the Principal of Tianding University is a being at the peak of the High Gods…
Hearing this, Wang Zhi shook his head.
"No, you don't understand. The current situation is exactly the kind of necessary situation she mentioned!"
Saying this, Wang Zhi turned and left the observation room, heading alone to the Principal's Office.
In his mind, he thought,
"Perhaps the problem that had kept the Principal stuck at that stage will be solved by Chu Hao!"
Thinking this, Wang Zhi quickened his pace.

Elsewhere,
Chu Hao had finished filling out his forms and submitted them to the Academic Affairs teacher.
At this moment, he didn't realize he had already caused a stir among the teachers.
He had been fully focused on constructing the Endless Abyss.
So he felt…
The teachers were looking at him strangely.
"Ahem… Teacher, here's my form!"
Chu Hao handed over the form, but the teacher just stared at him, motionless.
"Ahem!"
Chu Hao coughed, rousing the teacher from shock.
"Ah! I understand. I'll process your first-stage assessment right away!"
Although the teacher was shocked, they ultimately said nothing to Chu Hao.
But Chu Hao's next words completely astonished the teacher.
"Uh, Teacher, I didn't apply just for the first stage of assessment!"
Hearing this, the teachers present were completely stunned.
"What?!"
"I applied for all three stages—from the first to the third! And each stage is only one day apart!"
Silence filled the room…
