Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 304 Rules
"The Eternal Day Scripture".

Not long after, Yuan Xing handed a book to Ji Fuyou.

"The arrival of the two previous civilizations made many demands of us. Correspondingly, they also developed a deep causal entanglement with our civilization. In just one month, a fog enveloped their civilization, and the ordinary spiders in their civilization turned into highly venomous spiders."

Ji Fuyou took the book, and his admonitions echoed in his mind.

"Therefore, unless you ask, we will not offer you any more help, because the more help we provide, the deeper the karmic entanglement will become."

"I know."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He could tell from their interactions over this period of time.

Yuanxing doesn't actively promote anything.

He only ever answers the questions he raises, never initiating unnecessary conversations or trying to sell anything that can be traded.

The more Ji Fuyou learns about this civilization, the deeper the causal entanglement between the two becomes.

"Given your status as a Celestial Venerable, and out of diplomatic courtesy, my master should theoretically receive you personally. However… I can see your hesitation and doubt. Furthermore, if you were to meet with my master, not only would there be no substantial benefit, but the karmic entanglements would inevitably deepen further. Therefore…"

Yuan Xing bowed to Ji Fuyou again: "Please forgive our rudeness."

"No, you have done very well, and I have fully felt your sincerity."

Ji Fuyou said, "In the future, if we can withstand the three rounds of trials, I will visit again and hope to have a long talk with the Holy Venerable at that time."

After three rounds of trials, the crisis facing the Crimson Star Civilization is no less severe than that of the Blood Moon Demon King.

At that time, he naturally didn't care about cause and effect.

"We look forward to Ji Tianzun's return."

Yuan Xing said sincerely.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Yuan Xing listened, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

But in the end, I didn't force them to stay.

After all, for Ji Fuyou and the others, staying in Rainbow Sun City would only deepen their entanglements with karma.

At that moment, he could only say, "Let me see you off."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

On the way out of the city, Yuan Xing said with some emotion, "Actually, before inviting the two of you, we were prepared to give a lot of resources. We never expected that Master Ji would be so rational and only choose to pass on his cultivation technique."

He didn't say exactly what he had prepared, but Ji Fuyou knew that those things must be quite valuable.

but……

He wanted to try to get some more time.

It is really not advisable to have too much cooperation with Hongri City.

but……

He still took out a token: "A few months ago, I encountered Zhaoyue, the captain of the Heavenly Sword Legion squad, who was under attack, but at that time I was too weak to come to her aid..."

Yuan Xing accepted the token with both hands and nodded solemnly: "The Heavenly Sword Legion... they are all excellent."

But when the topic of the token came up, he seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Do you... know about the Snow Region?"

"Snowy region!?"

Yuan Xing looked slightly bewildered: "Where is this place?"

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment, then handed him a token obtained from a snowman in the snowy region: "This force seems to have reached some kind of cooperation with Blood Moon Canyon. I hope you can remain vigilant."

"Blood Moon Canyon!"

Yuan Xing solemnly accepted the token.

No one in Rainbow Sun City dared to be careless in the slightest when faced with this force that existed to completely annihilate them.

Their current situation is akin to dancing on a tightrope, leaving no room for any accidents.

"I will bring the token to consult the Holy One."

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou responded.

Next, Yuan Xing introduced some matters related to cultivation to Ji Fuyou.

These contents are almost all recorded in the Eternal Day Heavenly Scripture, and even if Yuan Xing dictates them, it will not increase the ties between the two great civilizations too much.

After some conversation, the group arrived outside Rainbow Sun City.

here……

It's almost time to say goodbye again.

For a moment, Yuan Xing hesitated again, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

This expression clearly suggests that someone wants to say something, but is constrained by some rule and dares not say more.

"Have we overlooked a very important issue?"

Ji Fuyou realized something and added, "Is it more important than the Eternal Day Heaven Scripture, a body-refining cultivation tradition?"

"The key lies in your choices..."

Yuan Xing smiled wryly.

"This involves such a large area... is it a lineage of the Refining Spirit Path?"

Ji Fuyou asked.

"No."

Yuan Xing shook his head, becoming ambiguous: "This matter... could actually be big or small. If you were to present it or bring it up, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if we were to bring it up... we can't predict what the consequences would be." Ji Fuyou vaguely understood something.

It's not that the problem is very serious, but rather...

If they bring this up, their civilization will have to bear the consequences.

For them, who already walk on tightrope, this risk was simply too much to bear.

Just as Ji Fuyou was pondering what information was so crucial, Gu Qing suddenly asked, "What...are these powers?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xing's gaze immediately fell upon him.

His expression even carried a hint of relief.

He said with almost absolute certainty: "Power is very important! Extremely important! It is the great foundation that relates to the ultimate potential of a civilization!"

He quickly said, "When we first met, we took advantage of the miraculous things you did when you entered the Eternal Day Secret Realm and brought up the matter of authority, placing it on the same level as the Civilization Trial, precisely because the power of authority carries such weight!"

"authority?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou seemed to suddenly realize something: "Wait, authority... is bestowed upon their followers by the gods... the gods of the Misty World..."

"Although He is served by different races, displays different divine abilities in different races, and is revered as having different identities, there is only one god in the Misty World, and that is the great one who established the Heavenly Ranking War!"

Yuan Xing quickly said, "And authority... is the most precious gift bestowed upon some nascent civilizations according to the rules left behind by that great being."

He said solemnly, "Some civilizations have been passed down for hundreds of years in the Misty World. They are only one step away from the ninth round of trials. Once they pass, they will achieve new greatness. And authority... is the only great power that can achieve a leapfrog development!"

"Great power..."

Ji Fuyou was reminded of the incredible nature of the power of the void...

At that moment, he finally realized the preciousness of this power.

authority……

It's at the rule level.

Its effects may vary in magnitude and quality, but it surpasses any divine weapon or inheritance.

"Is authority a great power? How many kinds of this great power are there? And how can one obtain it?"

Ji Fuyou asked a series of questions.

"I don't know how many there are, but our civilization has recorded nine."

Yuan Xing quickly said, "Nothingness, emptiness, rebirth, life, equality, soul, destruction, luck... and the power of time!"

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Fuyou: "If I'm not mistaken, what you wield is the power of the void!"

Then he looked at Gu Qing again: "Your power should come from the void authority!"

"Nine powers..."

so much!?

"The Power of Rebirth, as its name suggests, allows one to be reborn from the dead, to be resurrected on the spot! The Power of Life grants one inexhaustible vitality, allowing even the most severe injuries to heal rapidly. The Power of Equality ensures fairness and justice between two parties at all times. The Power of Soul allows one to substitute spiritual power for life force. The Power of Destruction can destroy the structure of any inanimate object. The Power of Luck can significantly reduce or increase the probability of any event occurring..."

Yuan Xing said heavily, "The most terrifying thing is the power of time! This power can directly freeze a person's time state!"

“These powers…”

Upon hearing Yuan Xing's explanation, Ji Fuyou realized that all kinds of authority seemed to be so powerful that they made one's scalp tingle.

Especially the power of time, which freezes the state of time in others...

Wouldn't that turn the other side into a sitting duck, allowing them to be killed at will?
"If someone can wield all nine powers, wouldn't that be equivalent to being invincible?"

"The nine powers are very difficult."

Yuan Xing said, "It is said that a living being can be granted a maximum of two kinds of authority."

After saying that, he added, "I have also heard of a theory that if someone is repeatedly granted the same authority, he can gain a deeper understanding of that same authority and make it one with him. In this way, the maximum number of authority he can hold is equivalent to four."

Four types are only twice as many as two types, but if used well, they can still allow a person to easily defeat a stronger opponent and even affect the balance of the existing power system.

"These powers are only available to civilizations that have not yet truly begun their trials. Furthermore, the powers will disappear upon the death of the recipient. The way to obtain them is through the demonstration of potential!"

Yuan Xing said.

"Potential demonstration?"

"Turning the impossible into the possible, doing things that are theoretically impossible, will trigger certain rules, grant authority, and allow one to exercise the power of the rules held by that great deity."

Yuan Xing explained incisively.

The ultimate purpose of this great being in establishing the Heavenly Ranking War and promoting the trials of civilization was to select a successor.

Therefore, the successor should naturally be as outstanding as possible.

To prevent promising talents from dying out when they are still weak, the rules established by the great beings grant them authority, protecting them and allowing them to grow at a faster pace.

"Therefore, before the first trial of civilization arrives, do your utmost to demonstrate your true potential talents, unleash your greatest strengths, and obtain the authority bestowed upon you. Only in this way can you truly lead your civilization to victory in each trial of civilization, and even..."

Yuan Xing gazed with some awe at the blazing sun in the sky: "The civilization trial has failed, but the flame of civilization has been preserved, and there is still a chance to integrate into other civilizations for a 'resurrection competition'!"

As Ji Fuyou listened to his words and felt the immense power emanating from the blazing sun...

"Is it the authority of life? Transforming into a blazing sun with endless life force, illuminating the entire Eternal Day Secret Realm?"

He had an epiphany.

"Power is the true force of hope that turns the impossible into the possible!"

Yuan Xing reminded him again.

Ji Fuyou nodded upon seeing this: "Thank you."

"Helping you is also helping ourselves."

Yuan Xing looked at him and said, "I hope to see the day when you survive the third, or even the fourth, round of trials!"
