Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 98 Leading Civilization, Exploring the Stars, the Future Belongs to Honkai Academy
“I used to think the Honkai Academy was mysterious and powerful, but now I realize… its strength isn’t in its raw power, it’s in ‘grasping the future’!” a wandering old soul master murmured.

"Joining Honkai Academy is like standing at the forefront of the times!" Countless young Soul Masters felt an unprecedented burning desire.

"No wonder the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall are scrambling to get in... This is something that ordinary sects can't compare to!"

For the first time, the lower-level personnel of various factions clearly recognized the gap between them.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong slumped on the papal throne, her face deathly pale. The scepter in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, but she was completely unaware of it.

The greed for the Tree of Life and for divine positions that I had previously possessed now seemed so ridiculous and insignificant.

"Honkai Academy, the guides of civilization, their goal is not to seize the right to speak on the continent, but to reach the stars and the sea?"

She repeated the words absentmindedly, overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and despair.

Her lifelong pursuit was to dominate the continent, to seek revenge and destroy the lineage of angels, and to achieve the status of a Rakshasa god.

But their goal has already transcended the continent and even the realm of gods!

This is no longer competition, but a difference in dimensions.

"I, the Pope, have become a frog in a well..."

She let out a groan that sounded like a mix of crying and laughing.

The moon and the ghosts lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to even breathe.

They knew that the era of the Spirit Hall might truly be over.

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu stared at the angel statue, speechless for a long time.

Finally, he let out a long, long sigh, as if he had aged a hundred years in an instant.

"Xue'er... your choice may truly resonate with the pulse of this era. What does the glory of angels matter against the backdrop of the 'sea of ​​stars' in the future?"

He bowed deeply before the statue, saying, "Great angel God, your believer, perhaps we need to rethink... the relationship between faith and the future."

He made a difficult decision to secretly allocate more resources to Qian Renxue to support her studies at the Honkai Academy.

This may be the only hope for Qianjia to retain a place in the future landscape.

……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena's silver hair flew wildly, and her purple eyes were no longer filled with simple disgust or fear, but with an unprecedented solemnity and a trace of tremor that even she herself did not notice.

"Leading civilization, exploring the sea of ​​stars..."

She murmured these words, and it seemed that there were also scattered records about the endless starry sky in the memories of the Dragon God's inheritance.

"This Zhang Yi, he actually possesses such ambition? What he's plotting is even grander than His Majesty the Dragon God's desire to rule the divine realm back then..."

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "My lord, this academy has already gained considerable influence, and its momentum is unstoppable. In the future, will it be friend or foe?"

Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The future of the Soul Beast race lies in survival and revival. Perhaps... we don't necessarily have to be enemies with such forces that pursue transcendence. Let's continue to observe, but pass down the order that all Soul Beasts must not provoke the Collapse Academy and its related personnel."

She realized that a direct confrontation with the Honkai Academy could drag the Soul Beast race into an abyss of no return. However, their ideology didn't seem to explicitly exclude Soul Beasts from "civilization," which presented an opportunity for all Soul Beast races!
As the ruler of all soul beasts, Gu Yuena naturally has to seek benefits for them, including the right to look to the future!

……

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Tears streaming down his face, Yu Yuanzhen kowtowed before the family ancestral hall: "Ancestors... Yuanzhen is incompetent and has failed to bring glory to our family. However, times have changed. For the sake of our survival, our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family will, from this day forward, follow the lead of the Honkai Academy! We are willing to pledge our allegiance and serve as its vanguard!"

Tiandou Empire.

Emperor Xueye struggled to sit up from his sickbed, and with his last strength drafted an edict: "I hereby...I hereby designate the Honkai Academy as a state within a state, granting it all privileges!"

"Dean Zhang Yi is hereby conferred the title of Guardian Saint Teacher of the Nation, a Sage of the Human Race, and honored on par with the Emperor! All resources of the Empire shall be prioritized for the needs of the Academy!"

Star Luo Empire.

They also used the highest national letter to express their utmost willingness to cooperate.

……

The divine realm, the divine realm committee.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the temple was extremely tense, even more so than when the divine tomb appeared in the world.

The God of Destruction was surrounded by a violently churning destructive intent, revealing the extreme turmoil within him:

"With mortal power, it has climbed to the top of the opportunity list... It has gathered many heaven-defying treasures and nurtured the divine status of the 'Civilization Guide'... This academy is no ordinary institution!"

The goddess of life's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder; her focus was on many things:

"The Tree of Life is only a part of it, and the [Star Guiding Disc] connects to other planes? What exactly does Zhang Yi want to do? Does he intend to lead the entire Douluo Civilization... to ascension?"

The Asura God remained expressionless, but his eyes were sharp as knives: "His ambition is not small. He does not pursue a single divine position, but rather aims to create his own civilization system, and even... explore the myriad worlds that the divine realm has not yet fully controlled. Such potential and vision already pose a potential challenge to the existing order of the divine realm."

Poseidon, the sea god, smiled wryly: "Now I realize how wise it was to choose friendship over enmity. This child... no, this academy, has already gained immense power."

The divine thoughts of both the god of evil and the god of good were also focused here, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, a magnificent will reached a consensus within the temple:

"Redefine the relationship with Honkai Academy. Shift from 'observation' to 'limited cooperation and cautious contact'. On the premise of not posing a direct threat to the core interests of the God Realm, tacitly allow its development, and try to understand its 'Starry Sea' plan through channels such as Qian Renxue."

For the first time, the divine realm felt such complex emotions towards a lower realm power, even carrying a hint of... apprehension and awe.

……

Honkai Impact 3rd's achievement of topping the Opportunity Ranking is significant far beyond a simple ranking.

Like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, it illuminated a brand new future full of infinite possibilities.

This also firmly established its unshakable, leading-the-era absolute core position in the Douluo Continent!
The old order is collapsing, and a new era, the age of stars and seas initiated by Honkai Academy, has arrived!
……

At the summit of the heavens, the golden scroll that had just confirmed the final rankings on the [Opportunity Ranking] did not immediately dissipate.

The four gilded characters of "Honkai Academy" slowly disappeared, replaced by an increasingly intense golden light that seemed to contain endless fighting spirit and sharpness!

Soon, the mighty voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded once again.

This time, its sound was like the clash of metal, carrying a thrilling and chilling intensity that was clearly imprinted on the soul of every living being:

[The Opportunities Ranking - Roundup Complete!]

[After a three-day rest, the Heavenly Curtain will survey all realms, penetrate their very essence, and announce—the Douluo Power Ranking!]
