Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 526 Realm
"Not only the power of the void, but also the other eight powers!"

With his near-obsessive understanding and perception of all powers through his perfect realm, Ji Fuyou quickly discerned the other power.

In addition to the destruction, nothingness, rebirth, and time that he already knew, the three powers of equality, soul, and luck were also presented to him one by one.

These forces...

There is also the possibility that one can be enlightened without the aid of authority.

Or……

"The bestowal of authority is a form of bondage."

Ji Fuyou thought of the prerequisites for obtaining power.

Make the impossible possible!
Those who can achieve this level are exceptionally talented and can be considered true geniuses in this starry sky.

"The power of the Nine Great Rules is a level higher than that of Star Power and Star Body. However, it is ultimately a power actively shared by the 'Star God Cosmic Light'. This means that although the difficulty of comprehending this power is high, it is not so high that it is unattainable. In order to ensure that many people who comprehend the Nine Great Rules will not be controlled, the guardians forged the rules into authority. Whenever the Heavenly Ranking Rules discover a person with great potential, they will bestow an authority upon them!"

The power bestowed upon them, on the one hand, prevented those exceptional talents from comprehending the rules on their own.

on the other hand……

This is also to allow them to better monitor the growth of those prodigies and nip them in the bud when the time is right, so as to ensure that they will not grow to the point where they can threaten them one day.

"Indeed, all the gifts in the world have a price tag attached in secret."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts were in turmoil.

As the surrounding void power dissipated once more, he appeared on the edge of the snow country.

This place is far enough away from Red Star.

"Then let me see what you really are!"

Ji Fuyou chose a secluded cave in a snow valley, released a little stellar power to temper the ground into glass, and only after ensuring it was clean and tidy did he calm down.

then……

He directly visualized the remains of the "Star God Cosmic Light".

This time, he skipped the outer starlight and went straight into the depths of the starlight.

This is also the place where legends usually bathe in starlight and refine star power.

Originally, once a legendary figure reached this position, they would be affected by the starlight and leave after cultivating for a period of time, but Ji Fuyou…

Having reached a perfect state, he was in an invincible state, almost unaffected by any starlight.

as if……

At this moment, in terms of realm, he has reached the same level as energy such as starlight and star power.

Let alone staying here to bask in the starlight, it wouldn't be difficult to go deeper and reach the location of the "Star God's Cosmic Light" remains.

However, he did not rush to get any closer. Instead, he made sure that he was in a flawless state, without any aura or fluctuations, and then used the power of nothingness to cover himself up, gradually approaching the corpse of the "Star God Cosmic Light".

As he drew closer, he gradually sensed something.

He focused his attention slightly on the rules he had mastered...

The nine rules seem to be flowing subtly in nine directions.

Every direction seemed to point to a guardian.

Those guardians exercise the authority of the Nine Rules, controlling the bestowal and deprivation of the power of the Nine Rules upon all living beings.

Because Ji Fuyou had the deepest understanding of the void, he could clearly identify one of the guardians...

It was the Void Guardian who had stripped him of his Void Authority not long ago during his battle with the Star Devourer.

Based on the characteristics of the Void Guardians, he quickly determined the locations of the other eight Guardians.

"These guardians' understanding and mastery of the power of the laws are probably at the sixth, or even the seventh or eighth level... Hmm, no!? The power of authority may be at the seventh or eighth level, but the part they can use may not reach that level. It should be around the sixth level."

Ji Fuyou observed the Void Guardian from afar, assessing his strength by observing the flow of the Void Laws.

The sixth level of Void Mastery!

Furthermore, judging from their ability to command legendary fifth-tier star-devouring monsters...

Their strength is definitely no less than that of a legendary fifth-tier individual!

It might be a legendary sixth-tier level that even the six top civilizations have never encountered.
"Even if they are not Legendary Tier 6, relying on the power of the sixth level of rules, the combat strength of these guardians will not be lower than that of Legendary Tier 6, and may even be able to defeat stronger opponents to the point of being comparable to Legendary Tier 7?"

Of course, this is on the premise that the legendary seventh rank exists.

"The Nine Guardians... are they the source of that power...?"

Ji Fuyou pondered in his heart.

But his attention was focused on the remains of "Star God Cosmos".

Normally, he cannot sense it.

Having cultivated to a perfect state, a state comparable to the mysterious energy of stellar power, he could vaguely discern that the power that should have dissipated to every corner of the galaxy seemed to...

They are converging towards the remains of the "Star God Cosmic Light".

Just like...

He is alive.

Furthermore, it is necessary to reclaim some of the energy that one has previously dissipated.

The so-called "corpse" wasn't a real corpse; it was simply that he had accumulated too much of the collected star power, which he was unable to digest, thus forming a shape similar to the "Star God Cosmic Light's" corpse. The moment this thought arose, Ji Fuyou himself felt a sense of disbelief.

"How could it not be 'digested'?"

He stared in astonishment at the seemingly still-living corpse of "Star God Cosmos," feeling as if all his guesses had been disrupted and blocked at this moment.

If He truly represents the remains of "Star God Cosmic Light", then how do you explain why He was unable to digest the power that originally belonged to Him after taking it back?

Instead, they piled up and formed a "corpse" form that could be observed by all cultivators above the Heavenly Realm.
"The remains of the Star God Cosmos could not comprehend the Perfect Realm, but I, as his proxy, a 'Great One' simulated by the Void God Realm, was able to touch the Perfect Realm by resonating with the outside world, its rules, and the power of the stars. I even managed to completely enter the Perfect Realm through the closed loop of my mind. Is this... reasonable?"

In Ji Fuyou's mind, all the clues gradually came together.

This also brings to mind previous speculations about a "regent".

The truth, at this moment, seemed to be about to be revealed.

that……

The corpse of "Star God Cosmos" that he observed was not the real Star God Cosmos!
The true Star God, with his own death, had already shared all his power and the power of rules throughout the entire galaxy.

They also established the rules of the Heavenly Ranking, selecting their successors from this galaxy.

but……

After his fall, a being took his place and immediately tried to reclaim all the starlight energy he had scattered. It also interfered with and influenced the operation of the Heavenly Ranking rules, trying every means to prevent the birth of a successor.

Ji Fuyou focused his senses on the "corpse" that they had always believed to be there.

"Why are there so few advanced civilizations in the Heavenly Ranking War? According to the time system of the Heavenly Ranking War, a civilization that survives the ninth round of war should be born within a thousand years, and a successor should be selected from it. But in the end, such a civilization has not been born at all after so many years?"

His thoughts became clearer: "This life is the culprit. He withdrew the power that was supposed to be spread throughout the entire galaxy, causing all the civilizations in the galaxy to fall into a state of malnutrition. This is why, for nearly a thousand years, the successor has never been cultivated by the rules of the Heavenly Ranking."

Ji Fuyou's gaze was focused on the figure that everyone in the world had always mistaken for "Star God Zhouguang".

This is a false god!
but……

Undeniably, after nearly a thousand years of absorption and assimilation, the energy contained within this false god has become incredibly powerful.

The starlight emanating from him was far superior to that of the nine guardians!

If the nine guardians are only equivalent to the sixth rank of Legendary, or at most the seventh rank of Legendary in terms of combat power, then this false god...

The energy within his body has probably reached the ninth level of the legendary realm!
The ninth rank is far stronger than his current level, which is only equivalent to the fifth rank even with his perfect realm!

This……

It's practically like sending ordinary legendary characters like Red Phosphorus to challenge a star-devouring monster!
"Currently, the upper limit of my cultivation power is the fourth level of the Legendary Realm, wielding the power of the universe! However, relying on the advantages brought by the power of the mind and the closed loop of the mind, when I reach that level, I will have the combat power of the sixth level of the Legendary Realm. However... even if I have the strength of the sixth level of the Legendary Realm, compared with that pseudo-god, the gap is still as vast as heaven and earth..."

Killing the nine guardians is somewhat better.

But to kill the false god...

That road is completely impassable!
That's an invincible power in the current version!
Ji Fuyou observed this false god...

Feeling the immense and unparalleled power emanating from Him, there was absolutely no hope of defeating this false god.

and……

The "Great One" simulated by the Virtual God Realm can now only be a trump card.

Once it is unleashed, it will inevitably attract the attention of the guards once again.

and so……

When that moment finally arrives, it will undoubtedly be the final battle that decides everything.

"Even if the 'Great Ones' of the Void God Realm are one level stronger than my original body... they can only accumulate power up to the seventh level! How can the seventh level contend against the ninth level!?"

At this moment, Ji Fuyou couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock.

The gap between the two orders is almost insurmountable.

This can be seen from the fact that he used his legendary third-tier power to easily defeat the Snow God, who was equivalent to a legendary first-tier being.

"and many more!"

Just then, Ji Fuyou suddenly realized something.

"The power of a false god has reached the ninth level of the legendary realm... but... compared to the power of 'Star God's Light,' which can illuminate an entire galaxy, the ninth level of the legendary realm is still not on the same level. The difference between the two is like that between a star and a galaxy! If I could become the inheritor of 'Star God's Light'..."

Ji Fuyou paused slightly in thought.

He realized a very crucial problem.

When the Star God Zeus chooses a successor, is power truly what he needs?

If relying solely on strength...

That false god definitely fits the description.

Perhaps, for the Star God of the Universe, the selection of a successor is never about the accumulation of power and energy; what matters is the mind and the realm of understanding.

The power of the mind, absolute control, mental closed loop, the realm of perfection.

"The Perfect Realm is already at the level of 'Star God's Light'. If I could unleash the full power of this realm..."

perhaps……

He can directly inherit the power of the Star God Cosmic Light and become a Star God!
