All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 341 Li Changhe's Invitation

It turns out that above rank ten, matchmaking is based on the player's rank, not their rank-based privileges. In other words, a player with rank ten and eight marks is only considered a rank ten player when matched with others.

The matched players and the dungeons they enter are all based on Tier 10.

Wouldn't that just be indiscriminate killing?

"Does that mean players without a mental imprint have absolutely no potential and are completely unable to turn things around?" Chu Xiu asked.

"That's not quite right!" Li Changhe shook his head and said, "Mind Imprint and Transcendence Imprint, once missed, cannot be replaced, but imprints above the tenth rank can be used as those two imprints. Theoretically, if a tenth-rank player obtains an imprint nine times in a row, they can also achieve the nineteenth rank with nine imprints, reaching the true maximum level!"

Alternatively, players with seven marks can obtain the eighth mark at level ten and use it as a mental mark.

Even players with eight marks can replace the Transcendence Mark with the ninth mark.

"So, you only need to run one more dungeon and get one more mark to reach the maximum level?" Chu Xiu said, "Not just you, all players above level 10 with eight marks are like this?"

This confused him.

"If that's the case, why has no level 19 player ever been born?"

To unlock the Primordial Era instance, we need to gather three thousand players who are at level nine and have eight marks, which is indeed quite difficult.

However, in worlds above level 10, starting a game is quite simple. Some people have even raised their base level to level 18 by running dungeons alone.

With such a large base number, is it possible that no one has obtained an imprint of level ten or higher?
"No, it's just that no known level 19 players have appeared. Whether anyone has even reached level 19 is unknown!" Li Changhe said. "Some say that after reaching level 19, one is forced to leave and go to the ultimate dungeon, like ascension in some worlds. Others say that there are many level 19 players, but they are all in the ultimate dungeon and unwilling to come out. Still others speculate... But one thing is certain: the difficulty of obtaining the mark after level 10 is indeed very high, no less than obtaining the Transcendence Mark!"

"Why?"

"Because the Heavenly Heart is hard to obtain, and upgrading is even harder!" Li Changhe said, "Unlike lower-level worlds, in dungeons above the tenth level, simply fusing with the Heavenly Heart and taking control of the Heavenly Dao is not enough to exchange one's heart for the Heavenly Heart, because there are special beings that transcend the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, one must subdue or kill all these special beings in order to fully take control!"

This step is already very difficult.

As mentioned earlier, higher-level worlds do not have hierarchical divisions; they are all small parts of a larger world.

For example, in the mortal world, when you come to the human realm, that's not all; there's also the immortal realm. In the world of "Against the Gods," there's not only Wang Mazi; you'll have to defeat all the "Heaven-Treading" powerhouses within the same worldview.

Needless to say, the world of "Covering the Sky" is even more extreme.

Learn about the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

"Furthermore, while upgrading doesn't necessarily require cultivating three world-surpassing powerhouses, whether it's creating a new race or opening up a higher-level world, you have to surpass the existing ones," Li Changhe said. "Let me ask you, in a world where the powerhouses are already at least at the eighteenth rank, how do you help them upgrade? How do you open up a higher world for them?"

Chu Xiu shook his head at this.

"It is indeed a bit difficult!"

"Therefore, there is a hierarchy of contempt above the tenth rank. Having a mental imprint and not having one will result in different treatment everywhere. As for whether or not to try to obtain the 'Transcendence Imprint,' that's a matter of opinion!" Li Changhe said, "Obtaining the Heavenly Imprint above the tenth rank is difficult, but obtaining the Transcendence Imprint is not easy either—that damn Primordial Book, I've been waiting for over a thousand years and it still hasn't been opened!"

It turns out that he had also waited for the Primordial Era.

They waited for over a thousand years.

Unfortunately, it never got to be available, and I finally couldn't wait any longer and opted to upgrade.

"By the way, I have two things to tell you this time!" Li Changhe said, "One is to invite you to the upper reaches of the Changhe River to participate in the 'Transcendence Conference,' which is open to all 'potential players' throughout the entire River of Time!"

Next, he explained the definition of "potential player" to Chu Xiu. Only those who possess a mental imprint, or have an infinite-level talent below the ninth rank, a special "human" tail talent, or are an ultimate mental player can participate.

Apart from that, players with god-level talent are not considered to have potential.

Among them, players with the Mind Imprint, as well as those with unlimited talent below level nine and those with the ultimate Mind Imprint, can participate directly.

Special "人" characters ending in "人" below the ninth rank require review.

"In short, only players with the potential to reach the nineteenth rank will receive an invitation!" Li Changhe said. "During the conference, there will be no distinction of rank or status, all disputes will be prohibited, and everyone will pool their wisdom to study the method of obtaining the 'Transcendence Mark' in order to find the path to the nineteenth rank!"

These words piqued Chu Xiu's interest.

"Are there a lot of 'Ninth-Tier Eight-Mark' players over there?"

“More than a thousand!” Li Changhe said. “There’s always been a saying that the reason the Primordial Era instance can’t be opened is because there aren’t enough players to match. If all the direct players from the ‘Transcendence Tournament’ in the upper reaches of the river participate, maybe the Transcendence instance can be opened!”

After pausing for a moment, he added, "But whether it's true or not, I don't know!"

“Alright, I’ll go!” Chu Xiu said. “Actually, I’ve also done some research on the opening of the Transcendence Book. With everyone’s wisdom, we might actually be able to open one.”

He then frowned.

He said, "But here's the problem: is it safe? What's the standing of our Overlord Forum in the long river of time? Is it really true that all disputes are prohibited there?"

Considering the chaos in the Crimson Region, he had little confidence in the upper reaches of the Long River.

Upon hearing this, Li Changhe smiled and said proudly, "The All-Heavens Game is divided into four major regions, from strongest to weakest: the Upper River, the Lower River, the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, and the Spring of Time. The overall strength of the Upper River is about twice that of the Lower River and about four times that of the Spring of Time. However, the Upper River is divided into three major forces: the Transcendence Conference, the River Travelers, and the Noob Alliance, while the Lower River only has one Overlord Forum!"

This surprised Chu Xiu.

"The Noob Alliance?"

"Actually, it's called the 'Star Lord Alliance.' It's a group of players who believe that great power only resides within themselves and doesn't need the mark of the heavens to band together and create this group. Because the name clashes with ours, everyone here calls them the 'Chicken Alliance'!" Li Changhe said, "Damn it, if it weren't for the Transcendence Conference and the Long River Traveler wanting to maintain the diversity of the player community, we would have wiped out those bastards long ago!"

Chu Xiu nodded in agreement.

The Hegemon Forum and the Star Lord Alliance—to the uninitiated, they might seem like powerful forces.

Indeed, there is a way to die!
"And what about the other thing?" Chu Xiu asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Changhe revealed a solemn expression and said, "I would like to invite you to join forces with me to try and see if we can combine the power of the three of us to take down the Heavenly Mark of the Shrouding the Heavens world!"

This surprised Chu Xiu.

"Covering the Sky World? Are you sure?"

“Confirmed!” Li Changhe said, “Covering the Sky, Perfect World, and Sacred Ruins! The three worlds are one, with three Heavenly Emperors at the eighteenth level of the limit, but they are in different periods. If we can open three matches at the same time and dominate the three periods respectively, perhaps we will have a chance to merge them into one and achieve ‘exchanging the hearts of the people for the hearts of the heavens’!”

After saying that, he gritted his teeth.

He added, "By then, you can retreat. My partner and I will fight to the death against the world of Shrouding the Heavens. Even if we don't find a way to upgrade the world, we will never retreat until the ten-thousand-year limit is reached and the long river erupts!"
