Chapter 11
"You know" mused Hua Cheng lightly, " there are times I wonder what ghost or demon managed to arrange the heavens and set up the ascension systems."
There was silence on the other side of the link. Then came a gravelly voice, " what do you mean?"
"Well it seems like to ascend you need to be the best at your field, supposedly."
"The best fighters, generals, academics, healers and so forth are the ones to ascend. All the people with skills needed to do something or help others go and become gods and then the gods are forbidden from interfering in mortal concerns, correct?"
"It seems like the sort of system that a smart demon would set up to get the people with the best chance of noticing or interfering with them out of the way while puffing up their egos and making them less likely to look for who would benefit from having them out of the way because they are gods and therefore deserved to ascend to the heavens."
There was nothing but crickets from the other side of the link and then the voice replied. "That makes far to much sense. I want to be there when someone tells The Heavenly Emperor that heaven was created by demons to get the threats out of the way."
