All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 228 Death God Karl Requests a Call
"It's done!"

Chu Xiu did not refuse.

He was also curious about Qin Tianze, who had previously been ranked number one on both lists and was described by Zhou Wudao as having "limitless potential" and being able to compete with or even surpass god-level talents. Just how capable was Qin Tianze?

"Then I'm here?" Qin Tianze said.

"bring it on!"

The next moment, Qin Tianze suddenly pulled out his axe and swung it at Chu Xiu with extreme force. Chu Xiu took out his Thousand Manifestations Umbrella, transforming it into a long sword to block, only to find that they were evenly matched!
Despite being over a thousand levels high and having skill enhancements, he managed to fight Qin Tianze to a standstill.

"You've got something!"

“That’s for sure!” Qin Tianze said, “I have a developmental talent. Maybe I’ll be no match for a god-level talent at first, but as long as I have time to develop, I think I’m qualified to compete with the top player on the server list. Just think about being the ‘number one on the server list’!”

As someone whose name ends in "人" (ren, meaning person), possessing talent comparable to that of a god, he naturally has his own pride.

The title of "King of Kings" is not just a figurehead.

"Forget about it, let me develop to the late game, and I'll be number one on the server!" Chu Xiu said, activating the Angel's ultimate skill, rendering Qin Tianze's attacks ineffective.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the Barbarian King's ultimate ability.

Even with low health, they won't die.

Then, he used Kindred's ultimate ability.

Then, he used the Sword Demon's ultimate skill.

There's also Laurent's Mind Blast, Master Yi's Q, the old Fiora ultimate... Finally, Kayle's ultimate and Tryndamere's ultimate are activated again, and so on in a cycle.

This completely baffled Qin Tianze.

"You can also achieve infinite invincibility?"

"I can only say it's close! But I still have several hundred skill points left. If I use them all, I might not be able to create true invincibility, but pseudo-infinite invincibility should be no problem!" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Also, don't underestimate the effects of the skills themselves!"

As he spoke, he cast the Time Elder's resurrection spell on Qin Tianze.

Then, with a "dog head Q" (a powerful attack), he was instantly revived on the spot, leaving Qin Tianze dumbfounded.

"Are you... cheating?"

Unlike Zhou Wushang, he couldn't see Chu Xiu's skill panel under special circumstances. Therefore, he only knew that Chu Xiu had more skills than ordinary people, but he didn't know exactly how many.

They were even more unaware that Chu Xiu could break through the skill level cap.

"In a sense, our talents are like cheat codes, only some cheat codes are more powerful than others," Chu Xiu said, glancing at Zhou Wushang, and added, "Furthermore, some people are cheat codes themselves, possessing dual talents!"

In reality, no one dares to say that talent alone makes someone invincible in this game.

That "Barbarian King" whom he suspected had limitless talent, his talent must be amazing, right? But in reality, if Zhou Wushang were level six with five marks, he could have taken him down by directly competing with the opponent in marks and mental power!

Qin Tianze wasn't entirely without a chance; he just hadn't developed to his "maximum" potential.

Talent, Imprint, Mental Power!
Talent is one of the three key factors in measuring a player's strength, and while it is crucial, it cannot directly determine the outcome.

Chu Xiu's mark power is also top-tier, and he has also comprehended the power of the mind. "Old Qin, your talent ends with the character '人' (human), and your potential is in no way inferior to god-level talents, and you can even compete with infinite-level talents, but that's on the premise that other aspects keep up—you seem to have the mark of the heavens as well, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tianze smiled and said, "Level six, five marks!"

It turns out that, like Chu Xiu and Zhou Wudao, he was covered in marks.

"Then why did you come with me?" Chu Xiu asked, somewhat puzzled. "If we make it into the top three, you'll level up directly, but you'll lose a mark!"

Qin Tianze shook his head at this.

"The mark isn't necessarily that important. If the tide of time rises, it's all just empty talk. As for what happens after that, in the perpetual server, you can actually 'reincarnate' and start over from scratch!"

This was the first time Chu Xiu had heard this claim.

Even Zhou Wushang looked surprised and asked, "Who told you that?"

"Hui Wannian!" Qin Tianze said, "At first I thought he was lying to me, but when I explored the River of Time myself, I obtained some corroborating evidence, which confirms that the Heavenly Marks can indeed be replenished later. The difficulty of obtaining the first seven marks directly or replenishing them later is not much different, and they can even be used as consumables. Only the eighth mark, the 'Mind Mark,' cannot be dispelled and cannot be replenished, and the ninth mark, the 'Transcendence Mark,' can only be obtained once!"

These are things that Zhou Wudao might not even know.

At this moment, Zhou Wushang spoke up: "Hui Wannian is quite mysterious. Before my father rose to power, he was the strongest in the Eastern District. After that, he was the second strongest in the Eastern District for many years. Later, when Shen Dufu reached the eighth rank, he became the third. After you went up, he became the fourth. He clearly had many opportunities to reach the eighth rank. Even in the case where my father failed, if he had wanted to, the overlords of the Western, Northern, and Southern Districts wouldn't have had a chance to advance, but he just didn't!"

"Deliberately not upgrading?" Chu Xiu frowned.

“Yes!” Zhou Wushang nodded.

Chu Xiu secretly memorized the name "Hui Wannian".

Then, talking about the match, Zhou Wushang said, "I have a feeling that this game won't be as simple as just the skill mechanics. In the late game, something beyond our imagination might happen!"

Qin Tianze frowned at this.

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "If there really is an infinite-level talent, the competition in the later stages won't be about skill mechanics, but about development. The reason it's called 'infinite' is because it has 'no upper limit' in a certain aspect. The resulting mechanics are just a guarantee for early development. Its true strength lies in having infinite possibilities!"

……

Meanwhile, Liang Bing was communicating with Karl, discussing their plan to join forces to assassinate the Holy Keisha.

“You don’t need to worry about those three newly emerged gods on Earth. Although they have some cooperation with the angels, it’s just a transaction. They also have cooperation with me, and our relationship is just as good!” Liang Bing said. “But there are some things they care about. That Taotie fleet can be withdrawn now, otherwise we’ll just be forcing them towards that bitch Keisha!”

However, Karl shook his head upon hearing this.

“Many things, once started, cannot be stopped. Even if I were their god, I could not stop them—to be honest, I don’t believe they are really the gods of the Pangu civilization. I also know some gods who are similar to them!”

This startled Morgana, who asked in confusion, "Some?"

“Yes!” Karl said, “Perhaps because they think I’m a good person, quite a few ‘Void Gods’ have come to me. Some of them asked me for ‘Black Hole Engines’, and some asked me for ‘Phantom Bodies’. I didn’t want to agree at first, but they were all very enthusiastic and talked to me a lot about things related to the Void, and even traded some very interesting things with me. So, I finally satisfied them.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Bing remained silent.

You fucking think you're a good person?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
“Speaking of which, I’m actually quite interested in those three Void Gods you encountered. They probably know far more than the average Void God!” Karl added, “Compared to dealing with Keisha, I’d rather you help me make a connection and have a chat with that Void God named ‘Nantian’!”
