Chapter 231 Blood God Trial IV!
"However, I can look forward to the changes in Blood Gods Eye after the fifth transition." Su Yu thought to himself.
He noticed the hint below Blood Gods Eye.
Currently, Effect 2 of Blood Gods Eye is equivalent to a top-tier conventional skill. Once he advances to a fifth-transition Professional, it will likely become a top-tier True Intent skill.
You must know that the skill damage coefficient of Blood Gods Eye's Effect 2 is outrageously high; even God-tier skills cannot compare to its damage coefficient.
After it turns into a True Intent skill in the future, it is estimated to be an extremely terrifying True Intent skill.
Afterwards, Su Yu checked the effects of Blood Gods Body.
[Blood Gods Body (God-tier · Second Seal Unlocked)]
[Effect 1: Your Health Points and Mana Points will be converted into pseudo-divine power.]
[Effect 2: Your maximum Life Level is permanently increased by 10 (maximum does not exceed Level 100), and your maximum Soul Level is permanently increased by 5 (maximum does not exceed Level 50).]
[Effect 3: Takes effect upon unlocking the third seal.]
"Huh? Life Level and Soul Level actually have a maximum limit?!" Su Yu was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that Life Level and Soul Level would also have limits.
Doesn't this mean that if other people's maximum Life Level and Soul Level limits are higher, then no matter how many resources he has, he will never be able to catch up to them?
"Xiaoyu, check if there is any information about the maximum limits of Life Level and Soul Level in the game database." Su Yu said in a deep voice.
A moment later, Xiaoyu's ethereal voice rang in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, there is indeed information about the maximum limits of Life Level and Soul Level in the intermediate paid game database."
"Under normal circumstances, for Professionals below the fifth transition, the maximum Life Level limit is uniformly Level 30, and the maximum Soul Level limit is uniformly Level 15."
"For fifth-transition Professionals, the maximum Life Level limit is Level 40, and the maximum Soul Level limit is Level 20."
"For sixth-transition Professionals, the maximum Life Level limit is Level 50, and the maximum Soul Level limit is Level 25."
"As for Professionals above the sixth transition, there are no records in the intermediate paid game database; it might be necessary to unlock a higher-level paid database."
Su Yu nodded upon hearing this.
According to the description on Blood Gods Body, doesn't he currently have a maximum Life Level of Level 40 and a maximum Soul Level of Level 20?
This is equivalent to the maximum Life Level and Soul Level limits of a fifth-transition Professional.
"However, what's holding me back right now isn't the maximum limits of Life Level and Soul Level, but resources!" Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
Right now, his Life Level is only 15.1, and as for his Soul Level, it is even lower, having just risen to Level 5.
There is still a huge gap from the maximum Life Level and Soul Level limits of normal Professionals below the fifth transition.
God-tier resources like life divine water can only raise the Life Level to Level 20; Su Yu didn't dare to imagine how difficult it would be to raise the Life Level afterwards.
"Xiaoyu, you say that after the Life Level reaches Level 20, what grade of resources should be used to improve it? Could it be Super-God Level?"
"If Super-God Level resources are needed after Level 20, what about after Level 30?" Su Yu's heart was filled with doubts.
He always felt something was not quite right.
Following this rhythm, wouldn't there be ultra-super-god level resources, ultra-ultra-super-god level resources afterwards...
"Master, according to the information mentioned in the intermediate paid game database, Super-God Level is actually a major grade."
"All resources higher than God-tier are called Super-God Level."
"However, there is also a huge gap among Super-God Level resources themselves."
"If viewed using the system's built-in Inspection, the grades are all Super-God Level, and at this time, experienced people are needed to judge."
"According to the conventional classification of Heavens and Myriad Realms, Super-God Level is divided into one to ten stars in total."
"Among them, a one-star Super-God Level resource has a value roughly equivalent to ten times that of an ordinary God-tier resource."
"A two-star Super-God Level resource is again equivalent to ten times a one-star Super-God Level resource."
"The resources for three-star, four-star... Super-God Level follow the same pattern."
"As for ten-star Super-God Level resources, I'm afraid the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms might not even have them."
"Uh..." Xiaoyu's explanation left Su Yu dumbfounded.
What do you mean by viewed using the system's built-in Inspection, the grades are all Super-God Level?
But in reality, it is divided into one to ten stars of Super-God Level, and one can only rely on experienced people to judge.
According to this statement, wouldn't Super-God Level Talents also be divided into one to ten stars?
Then how many stars of Super-God Level is this Super-God Level Talent, Infinite Growth, exactly?
"It's getting more and more interesting." A smile appeared at the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
In his view, his Infinite Growth Talent had infinite potential.
Even if he were to exchange it for ten or a hundred God-tier Talents, he wouldn't do it.
You must know that skill points or enlightenment pointsare extremely scarce throughout the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Even the peerless geniuses of those long-established civilizations might not use enlightenment points as lavishly as he did.
And most importantly, the Infinite Growth Talent could allow him to break the rules and turn decay into magic.
Even the most mediocre Common Grade skills in his hands could produce effects far surpassing God-tier skills.
Now that the Infinite Growth Talent is only Level 2, it can already allow him to break through the upper limit of True Intent levels.
In the future, when the level of the Infinite Growth Talent is even higher, could it also allow him to break through the upper limit of Law levels?
Su Yu felt that this was the most terrifying aspect of the Infinite Growth Talent—it could allow him to break the rules and break through limits!
If Su Yu were to evaluate it, he felt that the Infinite GrowthTalent must be at least a ten-star Super-God Level!
This was a talent with truly infinite potential!
"The three words'Super-God Level' are truly so misleading." Su Yu shook his head with a smile.
Between a one-star Super-God Level and a ten-star Super-God Level, there is a difference of at least nine zeros, a full one billion times!
Perhaps this is what they call being off by a "hundred million" points.
However, this also means that without sufficient vision, it would be very easy to fall into traps regarding Super-God Level resources in the future.
After all, viewed using Inspection, the grades are all Super-God Level. If one does not understand their actual value, falling into traps is completely normal.
After viewing the attributes of Blood Gods Body, Su Yuclosed the class panel and then opened the mission panel.
After claiming the reward, the original Blood God Trial IIIhad disappeared, replaced by a new mission.
Blood God Trial IV!
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly clicked on the mission details to check them.
[Blood God Trial IV (God-tier Unique Mission)]
[Mission Requirement: Raise the Demon Hunter rank to One-Star King.]
[Mission Time: 1 year.]
[Mission Reward: Unlock the third seal of Blood Gods Body and obtain the Blood God's Heart.]
[Mission Penalty: Lose the eligibility to claim subsequent missions of the Blood God Trial.]
Chapter 232: enlightenment futon!
"Raise the Demon Hunting rank to King One-Star?" Su Yuwas lost in thought.
Currently, his Demon Hunting rank had only just reached silver grade. Above silver grade, there were gold grade, diamond-grade, and finally, the King grade.
It would not be easy to raise his Demon Hunting rank to King One-Star.
Raising the Demon Hunting rank did not depend solely on the quantity of Abyss Monsters and Abyss Demonss killed; more importantly, it depended on quality.
Once the Demon Hunting rank reached diamond, even killing a peak fifth transition Abyss Demons would not increase the progress bar by much.
After unlocking the intermediate paid game database, Su Yu also understood the power division after the fifth transition.
Whether it was a fifth transition Professional or an Abyss Demons, the gap in strength was immense, so there was a unified set of rules for power division.
Generally speaking, based on the actual combat power of a fifth transition Professional, they were divided into five levels.
From lowest to highest, they were: Threshold, Initial Stage, Intermediate Stage, Advanced Stage, and Peak.
The fifth transition Threshold generally referred to Professionals who had just promoted to the fifth transition, with attributes reaching 20-star, a True Intent level of less than Level 2, and who had not yet mastered a True Intent skill.
The fifth transition Initial Stage meant a True Intent level between roughly Level 2 and 4, having mastered at least an Initial Stage fifth transition True Intent skill.
The fifth transition Intermediate Stage meant a True Intentlevel between roughly Level 5 and 7, having mastered at least an Intermediate Stage fifth transition True Intent skill.
The fifth transition Advanced Stage meant a True Intentlevel between roughly Level 8 and 10, but not yet perfected, having mastered at least an Advanced Stage fifth transition True Intent skill.
The fifth transition Peak meant a perfected True Intent, having mastered at least a Peak fifth transition True Intent skill.
Of course, this was only a general classification based on the strength of the vast majority of Professionals.
For those peerless geniuses of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, fighting across stages was a simple matter.
Even if their rank was still at the fifth transition, they could possess the power of a Peak sixth transition!
"My current strength is probably at the level of the fifth transition Advanced Stage," Su Yu thought to himself.
Although his True Intent of Thunder was already perfected, he had not mastered any True Intent skills, so he was naturally no match for a Peak fifth transitionProfessional.
Even a powerhouse among the Advanced Stage fifth transition Professionals would be a cut above him.
This was the combat power boost brought by a True Intent skill!
However, to learn a True Intent skill, one had to promote to the fifth transition and condense a True Core.
The process of learning a True Intent skill was to engrave the skill brand onto the True Core.
Without a True Core, there was no foundation for learning True Intent skills.
"Currently, I cannot learn True Intent skills. If I want to have the combat power of a Peak fifth transition, I must either raise my Fused True Intent to perfection, or break the limit of my normal True Intent!" A sharp light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Fused True Intent was different from normal True Intent.
If the combat power of a perfected normal True Intent was one, then the combat power of a perfected Fused True Intent and a limit-broken normal True Intent would be ten.
The gap between the two was massive!
Even if two perfected normal True Intents were stacked together, the maximum combat power would not exceed two.
Moreover, the more they stacked, the more the effect might even weaken; having more True Intents was not necessarily better.
No matter how many True Intents one comprehended, in actual combat, one could only use at most two or three True Intents at the same time.
Therefore, the vast majority of Professionals would only focus on majoring in a single True Intent.
After all, spending a lot of time to comprehend so many True Intents did not yield rewards proportional to the effort; it would only scatter one's energy.
With that much energy, it would be better to raise the level of one's True Intent skills, which would bring a much more obvious boost to combat power.
Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly remembered something else.
"Right, after completing the advanced trial of the Endless Sea just now, besides those 10,000 heavenly dao points, there seemed to be an enlightenment futon."
"Could this be an enlightenment treasure similar to the enlightenment jade bed?" Su Yu's eyes lit up slightly.
With a thought, he took the enlightenment futon directly out of his backpack.
It was entirely sapphire-jade in color, woven from an unknown flexible thread. Upon closer inspection, a faint flowing light could be seen rippling across the surface of the threads.
"[enlightenment futon (Special): Can increase the user's thinking speed and True Intent affinity.]"
"[Tip: enlightenment treasures cannot be stacked. Once the enlightenment energy contained within the enlightenment futon is consumed, it will slowly recover over time.]"
"It really is an enlightenment treasure similar to the enlightenment jade bed." Su Yu was all smiles.
This trip to the Endless Sea was definitely not in vain; it was an absolute steal!
Normally, the rewards for the Endless Sea's advanced trialwould likely be basic resources like gold coins, skill points, enlightenment points, and free attribute points, along with some epic-grade or Legendary-Grade high-tier resources.
The system would distribute different rewards based on everyone's actual performance in the Endless Sea.
Perhaps because Su Yu's performance in the Endless Seawas too outstanding, the rewards distributed by the system were so generous.
Setting aside the enlightenment futon, this supreme enlightenment treasure, the 10,000 heavenly dao pointsalone could be exchanged for a large amount of rare high-tier resources.
One had to know that some rare high-tier resources could only be exchanged with heavenly dao points, and the purchasing power of heavenly dao points was incomparable to gold coins.
"I should continue to comprehend the Slaughter True Intent. While the enlightenment energy in the enlightenment jade bed hasn't run out yet, I shouldn't waste the remaining tens of minutes," Su Yu thought to himself.
Unfortunately, enlightenment treasures could not be stacked; otherwise, he really wanted to try using the enlightenment jade bed, the enlightenment futon, and twenty enlightenment points all at the same time to see what the effect would be.
Afterward, he continued to completely immerse his consciousness into the Slaughter True Intent inheritance in his hand.
Before long, the final tens of minutes also quietly slipped away.
*Buzz!*
A beam of white light descended from the sky, enveloping Su Yu directly.
In the next instant, his figure vanished on the spot.
A moment later, Su Yu returned to the pavilion of the Yuhuang Mansion, still maintaining his cross-legged sitting posture.
"They really don't let you exploit even the slightest loophole," Su Yu stood up, completely speechless.
Each entry into the Endless Sea allowed a maximum stay of 30 days and 1 hour.
Not a single minute more was allowed; otherwise, one would be teleported straight out just like Su Yu had been.
"I didn't expect a month to pass so quickly. The Civilization Arena should be opening soon, I suppose."
Su Yu looked up at the blood moon in the sky, lost in thought.
"Let's put that aside for now. I'll ask the City Lord of Tianyuan about the situation tomorrow. For now, while the effect of the enlightenment points hasn't ended yet, I'll continue to comprehend the Slaughter True Intent," Su Yuthought to himself.
*Whoosh!*
With a thought, he pulled the enlightenment futon straight from his backpack and sat down on it.
The moment he sat down, Su Yu felt a strange power surge from the enlightenment futon into his body.
Instantly, his mind became incredibly serene, and his thinking speed skyrocketed accordingly.
"This is pretty powerful; it's actually almost identical to the effect of the enlightenment jade bed," Su Yu marveled inwardly.
He hadn't expected such a small enlightenment futon to exert such a terrifying effect.
It seemed that the medium of the enlightenment treasurewas not actually important; what mattered most was the enlightenment energy contained within.
However, compared to the enlightenment jade bed, the enlightenment futon was just a tiny thing, so the enlightenment energy contained within it was likely far inferior to that of the enlightenment jade bed.
"I hope the effect of the enlightenment futon can last a bit longer," Su Yu thought.
The enlightenment jade bed had allowed him to grind hard for over two days, and the enlightenment energycontained inside still hadn't been fully consumed.
But with the enlightenment futon's small frame, it would probably be good if it could last for a few hours.
Chapter 233: About to Open!
Time quietly slipped away, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, I didn't expect the enlightenment futon to only last for two hours."
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a trace of reluctance flashing through his pupils.
Without the blessing of the enlightenment state, Su Yu's enlightenment efficiency instantly plummeted, making it hard for him to adapt for a moment.
It is hard to go from luxury back to frugality!
"I don't know how long it will take for the enlightenment futon to fully recover its enlightenment energy. The enlightenment jade bed is still better, providing plenty of enlightenment energy."
Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
After experiencing the enlightenment jade bed, having him use the enlightenment futon now made the drop in experience simply too huge.
Although using the enlightenment futon for two hours was equivalent to at least two days of previous progress, he still felt it was far from enough.
He must collect more enlightenment treasures and strive to use them continuously for twenty-four hours!
He was someone who wanted to comprehend two fused True Intents. If he didn't have enough enlightenment treasures, he would probably be stuck here for a very long time.
It would have been one thing if he didn't know about enlightenment treasures before, but now that he already knew, it was impossible for him to let them go.
"Is there any possibility of obtaining enlightenment treasures in the Civilization Arena?"
Su Yu was thoughtful.
According to the City Lord of Tianyuan, the top three ranked people in the Civilization Arena could obtain super-god-tier resources.
Su Yu estimated that he could only obtain at most one-star super-god-tier resources here.
After all, only Third-turn Professionals could participate in the Civilization Arena. For Third-turn Professionals, one-star super-god-tier resources were already unimaginable good things.
However, although enlightenment treasures had no grades, they might be even more precious than one-star super-god-tier resources.
Of course, settling for second best, it would also be fine if he could obtain one-star super-god-tier resources that restored enlightenment energy.
Although this kind of resource was only a one-time use, it could at least boost Su Yu's enlightenment progress by a large margin.
"Right, as soon as I came back, I was busy comprehending the Slaughter True Intent and forgot to collect Tianyuan City's revenue dividend."
Su Yu slapped his forehead suddenly.
Afterwards, he opened Tianyuan City's main city management panel and found the page for withdrawing revenue dividends.
"Hiss, in just one month, it has actually accumulated more than 25 million gold coins?"
Su Yu looked at this scene in front of him with some disbelief.
Originally, he thought having just over ten million gold coins would be very good.
After all, players had only developed for a little over a month at most, and their strength was still not strong.
It would be good if Tianyuan City could earn a few million gold coins a day.
According to a 5% revenue dividend, he would only harvest a few hundred thousand gold coins a day.
Su Yu clicked open the daily breakdown and found that yesterday's revenue dividend alone was over 1.5 million.
At the very beginning, the daily revenue dividend was only tens of thousands, and then it became more and more as time went on, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, one million... until yesterday's over 1.5 million.
"It seems that Tianyuan City's development speed is even faster than I imagined."
Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.
As the vice City Lord of Tianyuan, the better Tianyuan Citydeveloped, the more revenue dividends he would receive.
Afterwards, Su Yu glanced at the resident management list.
He found that compared to a month ago, there had been earth-shaking changes.
Over this past month, Tianyuan City had gained many powerhouses, most of whom likely jumped ship from other main cities.
Now the number of residents in Tianyuan City had almost reached the upper limit, and the remaining slots were probably deliberately reserved by the City Lord of Tianyuan.
However, Su Yu didn't have any thoughts about managing the main city. Anyway, he wasn't professional in this aspect, so leaving it to the City Lord of Tianyuan to handle was fine.
As long as his daily revenue dividends could arrive on time every day, it was fine.
"Withdraw!"
With a thought in his mind, Su Yu directly chose to withdraw.
Originally, after exchanging for four soul pearls, he had almost spent all the gold coins on his body.
As a result, it instantly recovered to more than 20 million gold coins now, even more than before exchanging the four soul pearls.
"It seems I still have to find a way to increase my Tianyuan City contribution points."
Su Yu was thoughtful.
Right now, his revenue dividend ratio was 5%. As long as he spent 1 million Tianyuan City contribution points, he could additionally increase the dividend ratio by 1%.
At most, the dividend ratio could be raised to 10%, enjoying the same dividend ratio as the city lord.
Given Tianyuan City's current development speed, for every 1% increase in the dividend ratio, there would be at least an extra million gold coins daily in the future.
By then, harvesting 10 to 20 million gold coins a day really wasn't just an empty promise drawn for him by the City Lord of Tianyuan.
Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately sent a message to the City Lord of Tianyuan, asking him if there was a way to quickly increase his Tianyuan City contribution points.
Right now he only had 300,000 Tianyuan City contribution points, all of which were obtained through the Monster Siege and the Main City Rivalry Event.
But at the current stage, there were no major events related to the main city, and Su Yu really couldn't think of any way to quickly increase his Tianyuan City contribution points.
Tianyuan City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Little friend Yu Huang is back?"
The City Lord of Tianyuan looked at the beating friend panel, a flash of joy passing through his eyes.
The Civilization Arena was about to open at 12:00 noon tomorrow, and he thought Su Yu wouldn't make it in time.
He didn't expect him to make it at the very last moment. Perhaps this was the destined fortune of the Blue Star Civilization.
It avoided the terrifying penalty of civilization points being deducted into negative numbers!
You must know that these NPCs and the Blue Star Civilization shared glory and loss together. Since Su Yumanaged to rush back at the final critical moment, the heavy stone hanging in his heart could finally be put down.
The opening time of the Civilization Arena was not fixed; even he only knew an approximate time.
Only five days before the Civilization Arena actually opened would the city lords of all main cities receive system notifications.
Under normal circumstances, after receiving the notification, the city lords of all main cities would hold a pan-civilization competition with voluntary registration to finally determine the top ten.
Then these top ten would participate in this Civilization Arena.
Among them, the city lord of the main city where the first place winner resided would also obtain the authority to open the passage to the Civilization Arena.
However, Su Yu was the only Third-turn Professional in the Blue Star Civilization, so this time by default only he alone participated in the Civilization Arena, directly skipping the first step of the pan-civilization competition.
At the same time, the City Lord of Tianyuan also successfully obtained the authority to open the passage to the Civilization Arena.
The City Lord of Tianyuan took a deep breath, opened the friend panel, and clicked on the chat window with Su Yu.
"I didn't expect that the first thing little friend Yu Huang did upon returning to the Initial Continent was to ask me how to quickly increase his Tianyuan City contribution points."
The City Lord of Tianyuan smiled and shook his head.
The Civilization Arena was about to open immediately, yet Su Yu wasn't worried at all. It seemed that his strength had improved quite a bit once again.
Chapter 234: Civilization Arena Rules!
The City Lord of Tianyuan thought for a moment and sent Su Yu a message directly: "Little friend Yu Huang, since you're back, why not come to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat in person?"
"The Civilization Arena will officially open tomorrow at noon. It happens to be a good time to discuss the details and precautions with you again."
After sending the message, he added another line: "As for quickly increasing your Tianyuan City contribution points, we can talk about it when you get here."
On the other side, Su Yu raised an eyebrow upon receiving the message from the City Lord of Tianyuan.
He hadn't expected the Civilization Arena to open so soon, much faster than he had anticipated.
After all, according to what the City Lord of Tianyuan had said back then, the next Civilization Arena was supposed to open in about a month and a half.
At most, only thirty-some days had passed.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to make it back at the last minute without missing the opening time of the Civilization Arena, or else it would have been a huge trouble.
"Then I'll head over to the City Lord's Mansion." Su Yu's body flickered as he directly left Yuhuang Mansion.
Whoosh!
Su Yu flapped the Thunder Wings on his back, transforming into a flash of lightning that soared into the sky and sped toward the City Lord's Mansion.
...
Main hall, City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord of Tianyuan had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Su Yu enter, a smile broke out on his face.
"Little friend Yu Huang, you're finally back."
"Sorry to make you worry, City Lord," Su Yu said, scratching his head.
The City Lord of Tianyuan laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's good that you made it back in time. Come, sit down and have some tea."
As he spoke, he poured Su Yu a cup of tea.
Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony either. He sat down casually, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "City Lord, is there anything special I need to pay attention to for this opening of the Civilization Arena?"
The City Lord of Tianyuan didn't beat around the bush. His expression turned solemn as he said gravely, "Tomorrow at noon, the Civilization Arena will officially open."
"However, you need to enter the Waiting Plaza before ten in the morning."
"Tomorrow around nine in the morning, we will go to Tianyuan City's Teleportation Plaza together. I will use the power of the Tianyuan City teleportation array to send you into the Waiting Plaza."
Su Yu nodded slightly.
Previously, he indeed didn't know that entering the Civilization Arena required entering the so-called Waiting Plaza in advance.
The City Lord of Tianyuan continued, "In the Waiting Plaza, moving around, communicating, releasing soul power, or disrupting order are strictly prohibited. Otherwise, you will be obliterated on the spot. You must keep this in mind."
"Although there will be corresponding prompts once you enter the Waiting Plaza, I still need to warn you in advance so you don't break the rules and cause a disaster."
Su Yu listened quietly. The rules of the Waiting Plaza were quite strict.
The City Lord of Tianyuan took a sip of tea and continued, "Last time, I only gave you a general overview of the two-stage rules of the Civilization Arena. This time, I will explain the specific details to you."
"The first stage of the Civilization Arena, which is the preliminary, is mainly a free-for-all melee."
"This stage does not prevent trialists from teaming up against enemies. As the saying goes, 'enough ants can bite an elephant to death.' So even with your strength, you must be particularly careful not to fall into an ambush."
"I estimate that little friend Yu Huang's True Intent level should have reached Level 5 by now, or perhaps even close to Level 6."
"However, within a star zone, there are countless Professionals, and there are always supreme geniuses beyond imagination whose True Intent levels might even be Level 7 or higher."
"However, little friend Yu Huang doesn't need to worry too much. After all, with a whole thousand Trial Worlds, encountering these supreme geniuses won't be that easy."
"What's more, you master the True Intent of Thunder, which gives you extremely fast movement speed. Even if you can't win a fight, escaping shouldn't be a problem."
Su Yu smiled upon hearing this, saying nothing.
His True Intent of Thunder had already reached perfection, but there was no need to explain so much. When the time came, the rankings would speak for themselves.
The City Lord of Tianyuan's tone grew slightly more serious: "In this preliminary stage, killing fierce beasts yields fierce beast points. One fierce beast equals one fierce beast point, though you can only obtain up to one hundred fierce beast points."
"At the same time, everyone starts with one trial point. After killing or defeating an opponent, you will gain all the trial points they possess."
"As for the determination of defeat, it means the opponent chose to exit the Trial World during battle."
"After all, death in the Civilization Arena means true death. Once things look bad, many people will choose to exit the Trial World to save their lives."
"However, voluntarily exiting the Trial World has a prerequisite: you must obtain 10 fierce beast points."
"The fierce beasts in the Trial World are very powerful, making it no easy task to kill one alone."
"However, the reward is proportional to the effort. As long as you can gain 10 fierce beast points, it's equivalent to securing a life-saving talisman."
"You can choose to exit the Trial World at any time, at the very least guaranteeing your life."
"So right at the start, you must find a way to get 10 fierce beast points first; this serves as a safety net."
"That way, even if you encounter a formidable enemy, at worst you can forfeit the Civilization Arena rewards. As long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about lacking firewood."
"It seems the Civilization Arena still leaves people a ray of hope," Su Yu remarked with emotion.
The City Lord of Tianyuan nodded: "Of course. The original purpose of the Civilization Arena is to foster more experts across the Heavens and Myriad Realms. As long as you can prove your strength, you naturally deserve the right to survive."
"The final ranking of the preliminary stage is determined by the sum of trial points and fierce beast points. However, since fierce beast points have a cap, the primary focus is still on trial points."
Su Yu nodded slightly.
One must realize that a single Trial World holds hundreds of millions of trialists. If one could directly or indirectly eliminate 1% of them, they would gain millions of trial points.
A hundred fierce beast points wouldn't affect the overall situation at all. Their main purpose was for survival, having little impact on rankings.
The City Lord of Tianyuan paused for a moment and continued, "Now that I've explained the first stage preliminary, let's move on to the second stage main competition."
"The second stage main competition is divided into two phases."
"The first phase is scaling the Tongtian Pagoda. The more monsters you kill in the Tongtian Pagoda, the more points you receive. Ultimately, the top 128 based on total points will advance to the second phase."
"The second phase starts with head-to-head duels among the top 128, eventually determining the top 16."
"Afterward, the top 16 enter a round-robin tournament for rankings. Everyone will fight 15 matches, earning one point per win. The final rankings will be based on points, with ties sharing the same rank."
Su Yu listened quietly.
The rules for the second stage main competition were quite straightforward, relying entirely on one's raw strength.
Especially the ranking phase for the top 16, where everyone had to fight 15 matches—luck played no part whatsoever.
It could be said to be extremely fair!
Chapter 235: reputation token!
The City Lord of Tianyuan took a sip of tea and smiled. "If young friend Yu Huang can enter the top 128, besides gaining a massive amount of resources, you will also earn a large amount of Civilization Points."
"I estimate these Civilization Points will at least allow Blue Star Civilization to make it onto the star region civilization leaderboard."
"Civilizations that make it onto the star region civilization leaderboard receive corresponding rewards every year."
"At the same time, the higher Blue Star Civilization's Civilization Points are, the richer the resources on the Initial Continent will become."
"Furthermore, if young friend Yu Huang can obtain a large amount of Civilization Points, it will also be a great blessing for Tianyuan City."
"Didn't you ask me earlier how you could quickly raise your Tianyuan City contribution points?"
"This is the answer!"
"Civilization Points are measured at the civilization level externally, but internally at the main city level."
"The Civilization Points obtained by young friend Yu Huangwill ultimately be credited to Tianyuan City."
"The more Civilization Points you acquire, the greater your contribution to Tianyuan City, naturally allowing you to earn a corresponding amount of Tianyuan City contribution points."
Hearing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
He hadn't expected the issue of Tianyuan City contribution points, which had been troubling him, to be solved so easily.
With his current strength, taking first place in the Civilization Arena should not be a big problem, and he would definitely reap plenty of Civilization Points then.
It would likely cause his Tianyuan City contribution points to skyrocket, making it effortless to increase his income dividend ratio when the time came.
Afterward, the City Lord of Tianyuan chatted with Su Yuabout a few other minor details to keep in mind.
Once everything that needed to be said was mostly covered, Su Yu stood up, cupped his hands to the City Lord of Tianyuan, and said, "Thank you for informing me, City Lord. I shall head back to prepare then."
"Wait." The City Lord of Tianyuan suddenly stopped him, a smile on his face.
Su Yu looked at the City Lord of Tianyuan in confusion and asked, "Is there anything else, City Lord?"
With a thought, the City Lord of Tianyuan retrieved a token radiating a faint glow from his inventory and handed it to Su Yu, smiling. "I almost forgot, there's one more item to give you."
Su Yu took the token, and its information instantly floated before his eyes.
[reputation token (Special): Grants 15,000 reputationpoints upon use.]
The City Lord of Tianyuan explained, "According to the rules, before the Civilization Arena opens, Blue Star Civilization needs to hold a civilization-wide tournament. All Third-turn Professionals can sign up, and the top ten will be selected to participate in the Civilization Arena."
"However, as you know, Blue Star Civilization currently only has you as a Third-turn Professional. We don't even have enough people to host a tournament, so there's no need to hold this selection competition."
"However," the City Lord of Tianyuan shifted the topic, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile, "I've still saved the reward for first place in the tournament for you."
"After all, given your strength, if you were to actually participate in the tournament, first place would undoubtedly be yours."
"I specifically picked this reputation token for you. Ordinary rewards wouldn't catch your eye anyway, and I didn't know what you needed. reputation is quite flexible, so whatever resources you lack, you can exchange for them yourself."
The corner of Su Yu's mouth curved slightly. Without standing on ceremony, he cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you very much, City Lord."
"Go on. Head back, make your preparations, and get a good rest so you don't miss tomorrow's big event." The City Lord of Tianyuan waved his hand with a smile.
"Mm." Su Yu nodded slightly, then moved and walked toward the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
...
At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
With a thought, Su Yu directly used the reputation tokenthe City Lord of Tianyuan had just given him.
After acquiring those 15,000 reputation points, his total current reputation had reached 18,700 points.
"Let's exchange for three more portions of life divine water," Su Yu quickly made his decision.
Resources are useless if they aren't converted into strength.
The more attribute stars one condenses, the greater the power when channeling world force through True Intent.
Currently, Su Yu's life level was 15.1, having condensed fifteen attribute stars.
One portion of life divine water could increase his life level by about 0.96, so three portions would be 2.88 levels.
Adding it up, it could raise his life level to roughly 17.98.
"What a pity, just a bit short of reaching level 18." Su Yufelt somewhat helpless.
A life level of 17.98 would only allow him to condense seventeen attribute stars.
Seventeen attribute stars versus eighteen attribute stars seemed like a difference of just one star, but in reality, the combat power differed by at least 20%.
This was the combat power boost brought by attribute stars.
Furthermore, the further along one went, the greater the combat power boost each attribute star provided.
After all, the further along one went, the harder it was to raise one's life level, and naturally, the harder it became to condense attribute stars.
Even Sixth-turn Professionals might not necessarily exceed a life level of 20.
After all, to break through a life level of 20 required resources that were at least Transcendent God 1-Star level.
Transcendent God 1-Star resources were extremely rare even for Sixth-turn Professionals.
Swoosh!
With a flap of the Thunder Wings on his back, Su Yu sped off toward the Teleportation Plaza.
Before long, Su Yu arrived at the Teleportation Plaza and directly entered his personal space in the Heavens Battlefield through the teleportation array.
[Congratulations on obtaining life divine water * 3.]
"This reputation really burns fast." Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
One portion of life divine water cost 6,000 reputationpoints. After exchanging for three portions, he had a measly 700 reputation points left, leaving him practically penniless.
Sitting cross-legged, Su Yu pulled out a portion of life divine water from his inventory, poured out a drop, wrapped it in his soul power, and swallowed it.
About twenty minutes later...
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a smile touching his lips.
Three portions of life divine water yielded nine drops in total. After digesting them completely, his life level rose directly from 15.1 to 17.98.
"Should I match for a round in the Star Grade Heavens Battlefield now?" Su Yu pondered.
There were bound to be Fifth-turn Professionals in the Star Grade Heavens Battlefield.
Currently, his strength was around advanced Fifth-turn. If he ran into top powerhouses among advanced Fifth-turn or peak Fifth-turn Professionals, his chances of winning would be extremely low.
Moreover, peerless geniuses among Fifth-turn Professionals could even possess peak Sixth-turn strength. If he ran into them, he would likely be instantly killed.
Although his True Intent of Thunder had reached perfection, he hadn't mastered any True Intent skills, so the ceiling of his power was almost locked.
Unless he could break the limit of his True Intent of Thunder.
But right now, he didn't have that much time to break the limit of his True Intent of Thunder.
Currently, the most important thing for him was to raise his two Fused True Intents to perfection and complete stage six of the Shadow God Archer class advancement quest before anything else.
Thinking up to this point, Su Yu left the area with a thought.
Returning to the Tianyuan City Teleportation Plaza, Su Yudidn't hesitate for a moment; transforming into a streak of lightning, he soared into the sky and sped toward Yuhuang Mansion.
Now, he needed to get a good rest to build up his energy and prepare for tomorrow's Civilization Arena.
Chapter 236: Entering the Waiting Plaza!
The next day.
The sun had just risen when Su Yu climbed out of bed and came to the pavilion.
With his current strength, even going a month without sleep would not be much of a problem.
Having spent exactly one month in the Endless Sea, catching up on a bit of sleep after returning restored his energy and spirit back to their peak state.
Su Yu used ten enlightenment points in one go, causing his mind's operational speed to skyrocket instantly.
Afterward, he retrieved the Slaughter True Intentinheritance booklet and the enlightenment futon from his storage bag and began comprehending the Slaughter True Intent.
About twenty minutes later.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes and put away the enlightenment futon with a sense of loss.
"It seems the enlightenment energy restored by the enlightenment futon every hour is currently only enough for me to use for about five minutes," Su Yu thought to himself.
This meant that currently, he could only use the enlightenment futon for about two hours a day.
However, his soul level was currently at level 5. As his soul level increased in the future, the enlightenment energy consumed per second would also increase.
Enlightenment energy functioned as an amplification based on soul level.
The higher the soul level, the more enlightenment energy was naturally consumed to achieve the same multiplier of mental speed.
"It would be great if I could use enlightenment treasures continuously." An expectation flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
However, he also knew that this idea would likely be very difficult to realize in the short term.
Enlightenment treasures were definitely even rarer than enlightenment points.
At least there were ways to acquire enlightenment points—as long as one found ways to get skill points, items like the book of enlightenment could convert them into enlightenment points.
But most people had probably never even heard of enlightenment treasures.
At least in the game database currently accessible to Xiao Yu, there was no information regarding enlightenment treasures at all.
Su Yu had only made a major contribution in the Endless Sea by chance, allowing him to use the enlightenment jade bed freely for over two days and obtain the enlightenment futon.
The most unreasonable aspect of an enlightenment treasure was that it could stack with enlightenment points.
When stacked, the combined effect far exceeded the sum of their parts!
"Once I finish using the time from the enlightenment points, I'll head to the Waiting Plaza."
Su Yu shook his head and immersed his entire consciousness into the Slaughter True Intent inheritance booklet in his hands once again.
About an hour or so later.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
"It's time to head to the Waiting Plaza." A sharp light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
He would not stay at Stage 3 for too long, so this would be his first and last time participating in the Civilization Arena.
He had to take first place in the Civilization Arena for this trip to be worthwhile.
According to the City Lord of Tianyuan, in the entire Beiyun Star Domain, no trialist from a new civilization had ever made it into the top ten thousand.
This time, he was going to create a history belonging to new civilizations.
Swoosh!
With a shift of his body, Su Yu left the Yuhuang Mansiondirectly.
Then, with a flap of the Thunder Wings on his back, he turned into a streak of lightning, soaring into the sky and speeding toward the Teleportation Plaza.
At the same time, he sent a message to the City Lord of Tianyuan, letting him know that he was heading to the Waiting Plaza.
...
A moment later, Su Yu arrived at the Teleportation Plaza.
At this moment, the vast Teleportation Plaza had already been cordoned off by the City Guards, and unauthorized personnel were strictly forbidden from approaching.
"Greetings, Lord Yu Huang."
Seeing Su Yu arrive, the City Guards soldiers bowed in salute.
Su Yu was now the Vice City Lord of Tianyuan City, second in status only to the City Lord, so all City Guards soldiers had to salute him.
Su Yu nodded slightly, acknowledging the salutes of the guards.
Just then, a flash of white light appeared, and a familiar figure manifested before him—it was the City Lord of Tianyuan.
"Little friend Yu Huang, you've arrived so early." The City Lord of Tianyuan smiled.
It was only a bit past eight o'clock, much earlier than their agreed time.
"City Lord," Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting. "Since there's nothing else to do, I thought I'd go check out the Waiting Plaza first."
The City Lord of Tianyuan looked Su Yu up and down and smiled, "You look in great condition. It seems you rested well last night."
The corners of Su Yu's mouth curved slightly. "Thank you for your concern, City Lord. I am ready."
"Good." The City Lord of Tianyuan patted his shoulder. "Then let's go."
As he spoke, the two walked straight toward the teleportation array.
Arriving before the teleportation array, the City Lord of Tianyuan took out a golden seal—his City Lord Seal.
It could mobilize the source energy of the entire Tianyuan City!
"Get ready, little friend Yu Huang. I am about to activate the teleportation," the City Lord of Tianyuan reminded him.
Su Yu nodded slightly without saying a word.
In the next instant, a dazzling golden light erupted from the golden seal in the City Lord's hand.
Then, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, and Su Yu's figure vanished on the spot.
"I hope little friend Yu Huang can reach the top 128," the City Lord of Tianyuan muttered to himself as he looked at the place where Su Yu had vanished.
"It's a pity that Blue Star Civilization is still in its novice protection period and cannot connect to the Eternal Realm. Otherwise, one could go to the Eternal Realm to watch the text live-stream of this Civilization Arena." The City Lord of Tianyuan shook his head helplessly.
The Eternal Realm was a virtual world created by the Heavenly Dao. As long as one's rank reached Stage 5, one could enter it.
But the prerequisite was that one's current location could connect to the Eternal Realm.
For civilizations in their novice protection period, the Initial Continent would be covered by powerful rule force. This was the Heavenly Dao's protection for new civilizations to prevent them from dying prematurely.
Under these circumstances, even the power of the Eternal Realm could not penetrate, so Stage 5 Professionals within could naturally not enter the Eternal Realm.
In addition, in certain dangerous places throughout the Heavens and Myriad Realms, the power of the Eternal Realm could not penetrate either.
Stage 5 Professionals in these dangerous places were similarly unable to enter the Eternal Realm.
Within the Eternal Realm, Professionals of different civilizations and races could communicate freely and even hold simulated battles.
The realism of the Eternal Realm was as high as 99.99%. Even laws could be simulated—as long as they were not perfected laws, almost all could be perfectly simulated within the Eternal Realm.
It could be said that the Eternal Realm was the second world for countless high-stage Professionals across the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
"Still, it doesn't matter. As long as Blue Star Civilization's civilization points skyrocket, I will naturally know that little friend Yu Huang's results are good."
The City Lord of Tianyuan pulled back his thoughts, smiled, and with a movement of his body, vanished from the spot.
The first time the civilization points increased would naturally be when Su Yu completed the preliminary selection.
The second, third... increases would naturally occur when his ranking surged continuously during the second stage.
Although he could not watch the text live-stream of the Civilization Arena, he could still monitor Su Yu's situation through the changes in civilization points.
Chapter 237: Civilization Arena Opens!
In a secret realm of the Temple within the Dark Moon Star Region.
The Temple was the nominal ruler of the Dark Moon Star Region, and all civilizations and factions within the Dark Moon Star Region needed to pay tribute to it regularly.
At this moment, all the Third-turn Professionals from the entire Temple who were participating in the Civilization Arena had been gathered here.
The Civilization Arena was entered on a civilization-by-civilization basis, while the Temple itself was a gigantic faction composed of many civilizations.
The Temple was mainly divided into three major Divine Palaces: the Gucang Divine Palace, the Tieshan Divine Palace, and the Qinghe Divine Palace.
Behind these three Divine Palaces were the Gucang Civilization, Tieshan Civilization, Qinghe Civilization, and the numerous subsidiary civilizations under their command.
Each civilization could send up to ten people to participate in the Civilization Arena, yet there were over ten thousand people gathered here.
Behind them, they represented over a thousand powerful civilizations!
After all, those able to become subsidiary civilizations of the Temple were all quite strong; ordinary weak civilizations simply had no qualification to join the Temple.
At most, they could send some geniuses with immense potential to join the Temple and become one of its many members.
If these geniuses grew strong enough one day, their entire civilization would have the chance to join the Temple and become one of its subsidiary civilizations.
"Greetings, Sovereign Gu Yue!"
Tens of thousands of Third-turn Professionals looked up at that blurry, terrifying figure in the void, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
One must know that the title of Sovereign was not something just anyone could be called.
Only after advancing to an Eighth-Turn Professional could one be referred to as a Sovereign.
One of the prerequisites for advancing to an Eighth-Turn Professional was to comprehend any single Law to perfection.
Figures of this caliber were rare even across the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms.
For just an annual Civilization Arena, they had never expected that a Sovereign would actually make an appearance.
This was simply unbelievable.
One had to realize that even the first-place winner of the Civilization Arena each year might not necessarily become a Sovereign.
Reasonably speaking, such an existence would not pay attention to a minor event like a Civilization Arena at all.
"This year's Civilization Arena is extremely special. All of you, give it your all!" Sovereign Gu Yue's ethereal voice resonated.
"If anyone can enter the top 128, I will reward them with one million heavenly dao points and seven days in the Enlightenment Pagoda."
As soon as these words were uttered, the hearts of everyone present pounded uncontrollably.
One million heavenly dao points! And seven days in the Enlightenment Pagoda!
This was simply far too precious!
Not to mention Third-turn Professionals like them, even ordinary Seventh-turn Class Holders would go red with envy.
Just how special was this Civilization Arena to actually make Sovereign Gu Yue promise such a lavish reward?
Boom!
After Sovereign Gu Yue finished speaking, his blurry figure directly dissipated and vanished.
"You all heard him. This Civilization Arena is extremely special. After everyone enters the Trial World, immediately use secret communication techniques to confirm each other's locations."
"After confirming positions, prioritize grouping up with the nearest companions."
"Remember, during the preliminary stage, everyone must unite as one against outsiders. We must strive to get as many people into the main tournament as possible."
"Do you all understand?" a majestic voice boomed.
"Understood!" everyone called out in unison.
"Good. Now commencing teleportation into the Waiting Plaza!"
As the voice fell, countless rays of golden light descended from the sky, and all the Third-turn Professionals participating in the Civilization Arena vanished from the spot.
...
A scene like this was happening in almost every star region.
Although each civilization could only send ten people to participate in the Civilization Arena, almost all powerful civilizations possessed numerous subsidiary civilizations.
They could send thousands or even tens of thousands of people at once, giving them a massive advantage in this scenario.
For them, they had not only an advantage in strength, but also an advantage in numbers!
...
Meanwhile, inside a dark space.
"It seems the Waiting Plaza is quite far from the Blue Star Civilization's Initial Continent," Su Yu mused thoughtfully.
He had come to realize the pattern: if he was traveling to a very distant location, he would be wrapped in a mysterious force and enter this dark space.
If it was a short-distance teleportation, there was no need to enter this dark space; space would simply distort for a moment, completing the teleportation quickly.
The current scene was identical to when he had teleported to the Tianlong Continent and the Endless Sea before.
However, there was one difference: this teleportation took longer.
This most likely meant that the teleportation distance was even greater this time.
About tens of minutes later.
Buzz!
Su Yu felt the surrounding space shudder, and a soft, non-blinding light came into view.
A moment later, he found himself standing on a massive plaza.
Immediately after, a cold system prompt resounded in his mind.
[Welcome to Waiting Plaza No. 966. Trialists, please take note: inside the Waiting Plaza, walking around, communicating, releasing soul power outward, or disrupting order is strictly prohibited. Violators will be executed immediately!]
Su Yu scanned his surroundings.
This was an immense plaza, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Densely surrounding him were large numbers of Third-turn Professionals, most of whom seemed to have just arrived here like him.
Everyone curiously observed their surroundings, but with the rule warning given beforehand, no one dared to make big movements, lest they violate the rules and bring about disaster.
"There are so many Professionals from the myriad races," Su Yu muttered internally.
Most of the myriad race Professionals did not look very different from humans, except that certain physical traits varied significantly.
For instance, some races were covered in scales, while others had wings or tails on their backs.
Of course, there were also some races that differed greatly from humans, with some having human bodies and beast heads, while others had beast bodies and human heads.
This was Su Yu's first time seeing so many Professionals from the myriad races.
Previously in the Heavens Battlefield, he had seen a few Professionals from the myriad races, but very few.
Perhaps it was because humans were extremely numerous in the Dark Moon Star Region.
After all, under normal circumstances, matchmaking in the Heavens Battlefield prioritized distance.
Additionally, he had also encountered some myriad race Professionals after entering the Endless Sea.
However, their numbers were also tiny, as his month in the Endless Sea had been spent mostly in secluded cultivation to comprehend True Intent, without much exploration.
Su Yu quietly observed the numerous Professionals in the Waiting Plaza.
With the empowerment of the Blood Gods Eye, his vision was exceptionally sharp, broadening his horizons as he caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Although he lacked techniques to inspect Professionals, he could feel the strength of many from their fundamental life essences.
At the very least, their life levels were not low; while they couldn't compare to him, they far surpassed the other Professionals of the Blue Star Civilization.
This made him realize even more deeply that the Blue Star Civilization was merely an insignificant, newborn civilization within the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Finally, a cold prompt resounded in everyone's ears.
[The Civilization Arena has officially begun. All trialists in Waiting Plaza No. 966 are about to be teleported to Trial World No. 996!]
Chapter 238: Eternal Ancient Realm!
Meanwhile, the Eternal Realm also opened up various spectator spaces for the Civilization Arena.
The Civilization Arena is held with star domains as the unit, and a single spectator space represents a Civilization Arena.
In the spectator space, one can see the real-time text live broadcasts of one thousand Trial Worlds, as well as changes in the rankings.
"Hurry up, the Civilization Arena has opened, and we can enter the spectator spaces."
"Charge, charge, charge! I must make a big fortune in this Civilization Arena!"
"Hahaha, I spent a heavy price to collect information on the top geniuses of all major star districts in the Beiyun Star Domain. For just 10 Eternal Coins, you can take it all in a bundle. Does anyone want it?"
w k n. c o m Read Anytime
For a time, countless high-tier Professionals of fifth-turn and above entered the spectator spaces of their respective star domains.
Although the Eternal Realm has many spectator spaces, under normal circumstances, everyone can only enter the spectator space of their own star domain.
Unless authorized, one cannot enter the spectator spaces of other star domains.
In the Beiyun Star Domain spectator space.
"The betting is finally open! This time, I will win back everything I lost last time!"
"Hahaha, I bet on Heng Siming to take first place. Isn't this just coming to send me money?"
"Although Heng Siming won first place in the main tournament last time, he only ranked tenth in the overall rankings during the preliminary selection. What you're betting on now is the preliminary ranking, so you must be a fool now."
"Hilarious! The Trial World is vast and boundless. Strong combat power doesn't necessarily mean winning first place; it tests comprehensive strength and luck even more!"
"Bet on the hell of popular candidates! The odds for popular candidates are extremely low. Even if you bet right, how much money can you make? In my opinion, it's better to randomly pick hundreds of unpopular candidates, bet a little on each of them, and gamble that they can enter the overall rankings. Take a gamble, and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle!"
"The overall rankings only include the top ten million. The hope for unpopular candidates to enter the top ten million is far too slim."
"I actually think this brother is right. I find this Blue Star Civilization quite interesting; they only sent one person over, which shows that the entire Blue Star Civilizationcurrently has only one Third-turn Professional. I'm going to bet 1 Eternal Coin on him, gambling that he can enter the overall rankings."
"Hahaha, could this be the so-called hope of the entire village? Taking advantage of the fact that not many people are betting on him yet and the odds are high, I'll also bet 1 Eternal Coin on him, gambling that he can enter the overall rankings."
"Brother has a good eye! If we win the bet, we can instantly make a fortune of a million Eternal Coins."
"You two gambling dogs, if anyone could enter the overall rankings just by casually betting on someone, everyone would be rich."
Countless high-tier Professionals were frantically placing bets on the geniuses they favored.
Eternal Coins are a virtual currency in the Eternal Realmand can be exchanged with gold coins mutually.
1 Eternal Coin is equal to 100 million gold coins. If one could make an explosive profit of a million Eternal Coins, it would be equivalent to a trillion gold coins.
At least for a long time to come, they wouldn't have to worry about lacking resources.
...
In an independent space within the Beiyun Star Domainspectator space.
These independent spaces were equivalent to private boxes in the spectator space. As long as one spent a small amount of Eternal Coins, such an independent space could be created.
There was no need to crowd together with others in the main hall.
"Keep a constant eye on the changes in rankings on the leaderboard. If any dark horses appear, report immediately," a burly man dressed in black armor said in a deep voice.
"This Civilization Arena is extremely special. Whether we can recruit some dark horses before the main tournament starts is of utmost importance to us."
"Yes!"
Hundreds of monitoring personnel present responded in unison. In front of each of them was a light screen, with streams of information rapidly jumping across it.
Besides that, right in the center was a huge light screen displaying the information of the overall rankings.
The preliminary selection of the Civilization Arena had a total of one thousand Trial Worlds, and each Trial Worldhad a sub-ranking list.
In addition, there was also an overall ranking list, which displayed the ranking information of the top ten million trial participants.
The burly man in black armor stood with his hands behind his back in front of the central light screen, constantly monitoring the changes on it.
His name was Luoyan, coming from the Lieyang Palace, one of the three major super forces of the Beiyun Star Domain, and he was an ordinary elder of the Lieyang Palace.
This time, he was ordered to hold down the fort in the spectator space, mainly to recruit in advance some dark horses who had a chance to enter the top 128.
Normally speaking, a minor Civilization Arena would not be worth him paying such great attention to.
However, this Civilization Arena involved the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Anyone who could enter the top 128 of the Civilization Arena could enter the Eternal Ancient Realm.
The Eternal Ancient Realm opens once every hundred years, and only Third-turn Professionals whose awakening time is less than twenty years can enter it.
This condition was identical to the condition for participating in the Civilization Arena.
It could be said that the establishment of the Civilization Arena was specifically designed to select geniuses for entering the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Of course, every time the Eternal Ancient Realm opened, apart from the 128 slots from the Civilization Arena, the Beiyun Star Domain also had another 72 slots.
However, after these 72 slots were divided among the three major super forces, each super force only had 24 slots.
Therefore, the more slots one obtained in the Civilization Arena, the greater the advantage one would have after entering the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Once a dark horse that did not belong to the three major super forces appeared, they would recruit them at the first opportunity.
Of course, generally speaking, this situation was extremely rare.
After all, the three major super forces had almost carved up the entire Beiyun Star Domain. Those who could enter the top 128 of the Civilization Arena, even if they weren't direct members, were members under their subordinate forces.
"It is said that the Lieyang God Lord back then obtained immense benefits in the Eternal Ancient Realm, which is why he attained the Dao of a God Lord within a mere thousand years!" A trace of envy flashed in Luoyan's eyes.
The so-called God Lord was an honorary title for Ninth-turn Professionals.
To attain the Dao, one of the prerequisites was to transform any single Law into a Rule!
This step had stumped countless people!
As an ordinary elder of the Lieyang Palace, his personal strength reached the peak of the seventh-turn, and he was only one step away from elevating his Law to perfection to be promoted to an Eighth-turn Professional and obtain the title of Sovereign Lord.
However, this step of elevating a Law from Level 10 at 99.99% to perfection had trapped him for a full hundred years.
Just elevating the Law to perfection was already so difficult, let alone transforming the Law into a Rule!
If the difficulty of elevating the Law to perfection was one, then the difficulty of transforming the Law into a Rule was ten thousand.
The gap between the two could be described as a chasm!
Yet, the fortuitous encounters within the Eternal Ancient Realm were able to allow the Lieyang God Lord to attain the Dao of a God Lord within a thousand years.
This was enough to show just how terrifying the opportunities inside the Eternal Ancient Realm were.
The Lieyang God Lord even once said that the fortuitous encounter he obtained in the Eternal Ancient Realm wasn't considered a major opportunity.
A truly major fortuitous encounter could even allow someone to attain the Dao of a True God within tens of thousands of years!
The so-called God Lord was merely a nicer-sounding title in the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
From the perspective of the essence of life, Ninth-turn Professionals and fifth-turn Professionals were still in the same major stage, both belonging to Starry Sky Professionals.
Only by attaining the Dao of a True God would the essence of life be thoroughly sublimated, and one could even form a clan of their own.
Tracing back to the source, many races in the Heavens and Myriad Realms likely had a True God as their progenitor!
Chapter 239: Trial World!
Trial World No. 996.
Buzz!
As space warped, Su Yu's figure instantly emerged, and his gaze swept across his surroundings.
He found himself in the midst of continuous, towering mountain ranges, with towering ancient trees visible everywhere.
"Hmm? The gravity here seems to far exceed that of the Initial Continent." Su Yu felt the condition of his body.
Although the gravity here was strong, it could not affect him much.
[Remember this site's domain name, the top choice for following Taiwan novels is kan.com, super reliable]
It was nothing more than his flight speed being slightly affected, and his physical stamina consumption would be higher at every moment than before.
However, with his current stamina recovery rate, it could basically be completely ignored.
Right after, a system notification sounded in Su Yu's ear.
[Welcome to Trial World No. 996. Please open the trial panel to view the details.]
With a thought, Su Yu directly opened the trial panel, and his basic information was the first thing that caught his eye.
[Nickname: Yu Huang]
[Affiliated Civilization: Blue Star Civilization]
[Trial Points: 1]
[Fierce Beast Points: 0]
The content of the basic information was very simple; Su Yu glanced at it and skipped past it.
Currently, he hadn't obtained a single extra point, so there was nothing much to look at.
Afterwards, he found the introduction to the trial rules and carefully reviewed the contents.
Although the City Lord of Tianyuan had already explained the rules and precautions related to the Civilization Arenato him,
after entering the Trial World, he still needed to confirm it once more.
Caution keeps the ship afloat; if the trial rules had changed, it would be awkward.
"Fortunately, the trial rules have not changed at all, exactly as the City Lord of Tianyuan said." Su Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
Next, he only needed to continuously collect points and raise his ranking.
As long as he could enter the top one thousand on the leaderboard, he could enter the main tournament.
Of course, Su Yu's goal was not just to enter the top one thousand on the leaderboard; his goal was to become number one.
Closing the introduction to the trial rules, Su Yu opened the leaderboard again.
Currently, his ranking was 1,000,000+, and he was not on the leaderboard, as the leaderboard only recorded the trialists ranked in the top one million by points.
[No. 1: Muyang (Lieyang Civilization), Current Points: 12.]
[No. 2: Feng Wanli (Xuanyuan Civilization), Current Points: 8.]
[No. 3: Gu Changge (Qingya Civilization), Current Points: 5.]
[No. 4: Golden Bone (Giant Spirit Civilization), Current Points: 5.]
[No. 5: Bai Lan (Gucang Civilization), Current Points: 5.]
...
"These people have pretty good luck," Su Yu thought to himself.
The Trial World was immensely vast. If not for extremely good luck and having other trialists nearby, it would be very difficult to get such high points in just a few seconds.
"Let's start sweeping directly."
With a thought, Su Yu flapped the Thunder Wings on his back, transforming into a streak of lightning that soared into the sky, rushing forward.
He made no attempt to conceal his figure; endless lightning flashed in the void like a beacon in the dark.
"With my strength at the high-stage of the fifth turn, it is almost impossible to meet an opponent here."
Su Yu thought very clearly: instead of him looking for people, it was better to let people come looking for him.
Right now, the aura he revealed was not strong, just extremely conspicuous.
If he revealed an extremely terrifying aura, many people would probably flee for their lives the moment they sensed it from afar.
Suddenly, a spear emitting a dark aura abruptly emerged from the void, tearing through the air toward Su Yu.
"A Third-turn Professional who has mastered the True Intent of Darkness?" Su Yu thought to himself.
This was the first time he had seen a Third-turn Professional who had mastered a True Intent.
One must know that when he entered the Endless Sea last time, he had also encountered many Third-turn Professionals from the Heavens and Myriad Realms, but without exception, none of them had mastered a True Intent.
He didn't expect that in the Civilization Arena, the very first enemy he encountered would be a Third-turn Professionalwho had mastered a True Intent.
Su Yu raised his hand and clenched his fist. The True Intent of Thunder flickered in his hand as he punched out.
Bang!
The fist and the spear collided instantly, and the spear shattered directly into pieces.
The power of the True Intent contained within it violently surged in all directions, forming a shocking shockwave that blasted the dense surrounding trees into dust.
There was also a shockwave that hit Su Yu, but under the protection of the True Intent of Thunder and the shadow armor, it did not affect him at all.
The True Intent of Thunder covering his body surface formed a suit of thunder armor, which could absorb a massive amount of damage.
If the enemy's damage was truly too high and exceeded the absorption limit of the True Intent of Thunder, there was still the shadow armor to absorb the remaining damage.
Only the final small amount of damage would be directly sustained by Su Yu's body.
However, with his current defense and vitality, it would be extremely difficult to cause any noticeable damage to him.
Unless the attack's power could reach the peak of the fifth turn.
Even for a powerhouse among those at the high-stage of the fifth turn, a single strike would make it very difficult to cause any noticeable damage to Su Yu.
"What? He actually shattered my Spear of Darkness with a single punch!" In the dense forest thousands of meters away, a man wearing black armor exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, he knew he had kicked a steel plate!
The Spear of Darkness could be said to be his strongest single-target skill, and it was even infused with a Level 1 55% True Intent of Darkness.
In the past, relying on this move, he had never tasted defeat among those of the same rank in his own civilization.
He had not expected to encounter such a powerful enemy just after entering the Civilization Arena; it seemed the heavens wanted him dead.
Swish!
The black-armored man did not hesitate at all, transforming into a streak of black light and fleeing into the distance.
"Want to escape?" A cold smile curved on Su Yu's lips. "You'll have to ask my arrows if they agree first."
Swish!
Su Yu summoned shadow fang from within his body, and in the next instant, a Thunder Arrow shot through the air.
In an instant, the Thunder Arrow tore through the void, striking the fleeing black-armored man.
Boom!
Terrifying thunder power erupted, and the black-armored man instantly turned into a mist of blood.
[Congratulations on killing a trialist. You have obtained 2 Trial Points.]
"He who kills will eventually be killed," Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
Death in the Civilization Arena was true death. The black-armored man had just killed someone else a moment ago, only to be killed by Su Yu the next.
Although Su Yu was unwilling to slaughter the innocent, he was no saint either.
Here, if you don't kill others, others will kill you.
Once inside the Civilization Arena, there was no turning back.
Everyone who chose to enter this place had already prepared themselves to kill or be killed.
