Before the Holy War, demigods were the top figures in the entire world, and the meaning of demigods themselves represented beings that transcended mortals, but were not gods.
Ordinary strong men often think that demigods are inferior to gods, but in fact there is no essential difference between the two sides. In a sense, gods are just demigods with duties, and the priesthood will bring them huge benefits.
Gains, but also bring constraints in various aspects.
It can be said that there is no limit to the level of demigods. Even those demon princes, demon lords, and undead emperors at the main god level can be called demigods if they do not have a priesthood and godhead.
In the past, the grading mechanism of the main plane, even to indicate the various stages of cultivation and improvement, was to give mortals a rough reminder, that is, "we need a few experts above level xx to be able to deal with opponents of this level." But now
, but it is no longer enough.
In the past, the grading mechanism of black iron, brass, silver...the demigods was very useful because most of the monsters in the main plane and the strong ones could be classified into lower and middle levels, although there was a huge difference between demigods.
Different places, but the number of demigods is not large. If there are only a few hundred demigods in a huge main plane, and each demigod is a national treasure of a certain big country, there is really no need to classify them.
The system exists for reality. The reality that most warriors spend their entire lives spinning below silver and gold makes this grading mechanism pay special attention to low-level and middle-level people. With the advent of demon tides and holy wars, advancement has become
Even easier, so-called quasi-legends, quasi-golds, and pseudo-saints appear in large numbers.
The most obvious thing is that in the past, strong men of the gold level were called "masters", beings who transcended the limits of mortals. They could receive respect and extremely high treatment wherever they went. However, during the Holy War, advanced gold levels were different from those in the past.
As long as you have perseverance and excellent training skills, you can 100% advance to the silver level. Even pseudo-legends can be regarded as the limit of "mortal". Then... if you still regard the gold level as a "master"
, the moisture is too sufficient.
Moreover, in front of the powerful demon army, the difference between gold and silver is not obvious... cannon fodder that dies in three seconds and cannon fodder that dies in ten seconds. There is really no need to classify.
It is foreseeable that in less than ten years, "pseudo demigods" will appear in large numbers, but the gap in combat power will be even more outrageous than now, whether low-level or high-level. If the evaluation mechanism of the past thousand years is still followed
, then, it is impossible to evaluate the existence beyond the demigods, and the classification system itself has become meaningless.
Therefore, when the demonic tide officially arrived, the Kingdom of Mages, the Adventurer's Guild, and the goblins re-formulated a grading mechanism based on the experience of past holy wars. The core is probably to blur the differences between low-level professionals and meticulously
Divide the top level powerhouses who transcend epics and demigods. Let the grading system have practical guiding significance.
This kind of thing probably happens once during every jihad, but this time, because the jihad broke out so quickly, it came a little early.
The new first level, including the original black iron, bronze, silver, and gold, can be said to be a huge leap forward. However, due to the lower level, there is not even a separate name. At this stage, mortals are still exploring the potential of self-reliance.
Warrior professions don't even have supernatural abilities. If they had to give it a name, something like "Peak Mortal" or "Master Craftsman" would be suitable.
The second level is the out-and-out "master". The general scope includes "legendary" and "holy level". In fact, there is not much difference between the two in actual combat. At this stage, the strong people begin to
Looking for their own path, the caster begins to have initial contact with the great magic that borrows natural elements. The world of mental images and soul imprints are all manifestations of "self" at this stage.
The third level is the "legendary" level. The past "epics" and "new demigods" are all within this conceptual category. The strong men of this period have sublimated their own path into a unique fighting style and life philosophy.
, they will integrate everything from the past into legendary weapons (epic weapons from the past).
Due to the existence of the three epic levels in the past, this stage will be extremely frustrating, but once it is crossed, it will be qualitatively different.
The fourth level is the "transcendent" of the original demigods. The strong ones at this stage are all unique beings. Their talents and hard work have reached the extreme. Their abilities are also very different, and they even take different paths. Naturally,
They cannot be graded based on how far they go, but they can be graded based on the combat power they show.
And because the evaluation is based on performance and combat power, a few weird low-level people can also enter based on their performance, such as the Forbidden Curse Mage, such as the low-level Beast King with an outrageous beast war group.
They classify them into twenty stars based on their demonstrated combat power (danger).
Five stars are a benchmark. The true bodies of ordinary weak gods are at this position. Ten stars are another benchmark. The true bodies of powerful gods are at this position. Twenty stars still represent the pinnacle of the entire world. The main gods are here.
This position, and further up, have no meaning of division.
Just as powerful demigods can defeat weak gods, the symbol of the main gods is also to defeat powerful gods. Now, in the early days of the Holy War, the vast majority of "transcendents" should still be below three stars.
But I know that as the Holy War progresses, the era when "demigods are worse than dogs" and when strong men of more than a dozen stars are flying all over the sky will eventually come.
As for whether there will be more than 30 stars of the Creation Goddess in the end, I’m afraid no one can guarantee it.
Obviously, this revision is the result of low-level powerhouses having no human rights, and transcendent beings above demigods having to be subdivided.
The title "Transcendent" may imply that the gods they transcended and despised were the gods who were superior in the past, and the era when weak gods are not as good as dogs may be coming soon.
The first-level unknown, the second-level master, the third-level legend, the fourth-level transcendent, the new divisions bring new meanings, and also bring new...bounties!
Yes, the Contract Hero system has been recognized by the entire world, and Justice Points have become a kind of hard currency that is more useful than the official currency, and the star-rated plane invaders also represent massive wealth.
Back then, the God of the Moon and the God of Destiny paid the price of downgrading themselves to build a network of starlight and destiny, marking out the invaders of the planes. But today's evaluation mechanism will give decisions based on the strength and danger of the opponent.
Give a relatively fixed bounty.
"What, you can't pay? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
Talking about playing money... In terms of earning points, that profession is comparable to a mage who can cast forbidden spells. How many abyss demons will be frozen forever if one forbidden spell is cast. If this is converted into justice points, how many should there be?
My contract wristband has recorded my results, and now I want to redeem points, but I was rejected.
The goblins in front of him were sweating profusely. Known for their elusiveness, they were everywhere. They had already contracted the work of exchanging justice points. But he took a pen and paper to calculate, but found that no matter how he calculated, the other party's request this time It exceeded the limit of circulation in his hands.
"Sorry. Sorry, I need to ask my superiors for instructions."
As soon as I found out that my arm could move, I called the point exchanger and asked for my justice points to be cashed in as soon as possible. That's because...
"Sorry, Your Highness Roland, we have just asked our superiors for instructions, and certain adjustments will be made to the justice point exchange rules. The maximum bonus for a single battle is 200,000 points. The bonus for killing the same kind of demons and invaders will be sharply reduced..."
Another little goblin jumped out. He talked about a lot of patches. The words can be omitted. The conclusion is that it is very likely to be millions or tens of millions of justice points. Don’t think about it. In the future, it will be up to 200,000. But seeing you This time, I worked hard to improve the system and found bugs. I will be rewarded with a special reward, up to 21,000 yuan.
"...It sounds like why you think so much about certain unscrupulous game manufacturers, such as Big Q Goose, Big Snow Daddy and the like."
I was a little helpless. I wanted to scold my mother, but I didn’t know who to scold. I immediately requested to exchange points because I was worried about this trick. However, it was me who proposed the compensation mechanism at that time... Should I give myself a two-fist?
Policies can never be perfect. In order to avoid being maliciously charged, I proposed that once obvious loopholes appear, they should be revised at the time and "appropriate" additional compensation should be provided.
What? Isn’t this a loophole? Isn’t it a loophole to swipe a large amount of money at once? As long as it causes fluctuations and affects the stability of the entire system, no matter what the reason is, it is enough to treat it as a loophole.
Indeed. No matter what the reason is, if you really give me tens of millions of points and exchange them for a dozen artifacts to play with, I can probably force some gods to jump off the building, and the entire point-based financial system will naturally collapse.
What does appropriate compensation mean? "Well, no matter how much it is, you won't be satisfied anyway, so just be a little more considerate and give me one percent or one thousandth."... Thinking of my own original words, I feel more and more I want to slap myself twice, but it seems that I have lifted a rock to trick myself again.
I’m not worried about being cheated by rebels and making trouble... Of course I’m not worried. At that time, I referred to the contracts of some earth dads, and when I received the wristband, I had to sign a series of "Dear Contracted Hero System Users, I am your dad." The contract (Guaranteed Version of the God of Contract, Sleepless Man), not only cannot be disclosed, but once it is revealed, it will cause any bad reputation impact, and you will have to pay compensation.
I fell silent. The father-to-father contract I drew up at that time was based on many classic father-style contracts. There really weren’t any loopholes to exploit, but my family had a big business and a lot of expenses. Such a huge amount of wealth just flew away from me. I am also very unwilling.
"...Actually, I have a very good relationship with your superiors, especially the boss behind the Justice Point System. Maybe, I can talk to him."
Well, since you can't play with contracts, let's try favors. Of course I am familiar with the boss behind the justice point system. He is the entire Hades pantheon and related terrestrial forces including the Sleepless Ones. The one who manages finances is the goddess of wealth, which guarantees authority. I am a sleepless person, and I can be counted as one myself, but I just left the shop without any dividends.
"...Actually, it was the boss behind the scenes who asked me to come. His exact words were, 'Enough is enough, the maximum is 200,000, which is enough for you to take what you want.', and Her Royal Highness Bayana's blessing, 'Don't go too far.
, I haven’t taken your kickback yet, cough, I’ve done too much, you know...'”
"Ahem, two hundred thousand, just two hundred thousand."
I interrupted the rest of my words, not to mention Mr. Ayer's understanding. If the petty goddess of wealth comes to hold a grudge, I don't want to go through another failed experience of dropping money when I go out.
Some time ago, I didn't know where I offended this eldest sister. The result... I always lost money when I went out, and my house was always stolen. I improved my diet. Finally, I found that eating other people's food would not trigger the curse of the poor god, so I started eating shamelessly.
He drank a lot, and eventually he was so poor that he went to Barton's bar to eat and drink.
[I have said it several times, you will not be cursed at all, it is purely your own bad luck...]
"Shut up, you're talking nonsense. I'm just temporarily cursed. There's still hope in my life! The worst I can do is give some kickbacks to Bayana...I mean donate some money to the goddess of wealth to change my luck."
"Hasn't the Church of the Goddess of Wealth already banned you from entering? Since you last spent half a year wandering around, eating and drinking, you were the first to be punished by the gods in anger..."
"Ahem, let's forget about the dark history."
After the battle in Hades, when I was wandering in the main plane, I had neither pressure nor responsibilities, which was the happiest day. However, my personal life separated from the organization exposed some shortcomings in my financial luck and living ability...
Well, in order to make a living, I did some shameless things, but Heloise, if you tell me about your dark history again, don’t you want the dividends from buying cosmetics?
Needless to say, not only was I hoping to redeem my points for some treasures this time, but Heloise and the system were also keeping an eye on my wallet. They were all ready for their year-end shopping spree.
"By the way, according to the new mechanism, you have been rated as a seven-star transcendent. With reference to your usual performance and camp tendencies, you can also make overdraft purchases with us."
I am not surprised by my overestimation. Although I have not yet entered the realm of demigods, the destructive power of the Light Forbidden Curse has far exceeded that of the so-called gods.
I laughed when I heard that I could actually get an overdraft.
"Can I still have an overdraft? Another hundred thousand!"
The little goblins are not like the goblins who play seven times and thirteen times, so the interest-free loan is naturally free of charge.
"Well, your upper limit is one thousand..."
Well, after a final round, it was still two hundred and one thousand. It turned out that someone had seen through it.
But despite the fact that this is a huge amount of wealth, the reward offered to me at that time was only 50,000 points. Maybe it would not be enough to exchange it for a tailor-made artifact (it is not on the redemption list either)
, but it’s also enough to purchase the things I desperately need.
"The Dusk Fruit of five years, I remember it costs 500 points each. Let's redeem 100 first. Even if it is a double diamond bloodline, this damn bloodline of 500 years should be able to reach adulthood or even enter the prime of life. There is also the ancient sword master.
Martial arts atlas and the like, check the inventory for me, mainly ice-type ones..."
Spending money is always pleasant, but the wallet is always empty before you know it, especially when the shopping cart is already full when you have no money to pay the bill. Now that the funds have arrived, I personally need to purchase the Dusk Fruit.
Magic martial arts and so on, spending nearly 100,000 points in one breath.
The rest I am not saving. Turning resources into real combat power as soon as possible is the first priority. It’s just that those things I named need time to mobilize, or to purchase from the treasury of various kingdoms in the main plane, or to cooperate with other gods.
The exchange can now be finalized only for those treasures that have been put into storage.
At this time, the floating fleet suddenly stopped and looked out the window. Finally, it was no longer the snow and ice in the sky, but for the elves, the cruel migration had just begun. (To be continued.)
ps: There was an error in the previous chapter. It missed the death of Kal, the Lord of the Abyss who lacked a sense of existence. Now there should be twelve Lords of the Abyss. Please revise it.
