Gu Qing Shan brought the topic back and said: “It’s not just teaching you to use spirit energy, there’s another very important thing to do, and that’s to re-standardize the level of power”

“How do you want to do that?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“We’ll use the degree of usage of spirit energy as a way to standardize power”

“The current power system is also quite useful; do you want to just discard it all?”

“No, if we were to use Fire Element as an example, with the first stage being Ember, second stage Flame, third stage Magma, fourth stage Burning Sun, fifth stage World’s End. These are the standard for the Skills that a Professionist is able to use”

“But the level of Skills that a person is able to use doesn’t necessarily tell their whole strength, it doesn’t encompass a person’s full fighting power. Once everyone had gotten used to spirit energy, the previous scales will no longer be a base of comparison, instead used as a subclass to divide fighting strength”

“So the main method of categorization would still be spirit energy”

He explained: “The reason is that the more spirit energy a person is able to use, the more powerful their attacks will be”

“If a cultivator reaches the appropriate level on their spirit energy usage, even if they’re only mediocre with their God’s Chosen, Martial Arts or Elements, they’re still able to casually beat those that are lower-levelled than them”

“Let’s say, two people who are both Elementalists at Burning Sun stage, the one that is able to use spirit energy will easily defeat the other without any doubt”

“The way that Professionists are ranked at the moment aren’t exactly strict and reliable, but the ability to use spirit energy will always represent a certain level of fighting power, so we’ll need to use spirit energy as the base for power standard from now on” he concluded.

Hearing that, Zhang Ying Hao was already boiling with excitement and couldn’t wait to ask: “Then can we learn it?”

“Of course” Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.

While they were talking, Gu Qing Shan’s Holo-Brain suddenly lit up.

[Sir, there’s 40 minutes left until the Game of Eternal starts again] Impartial Goddess reminded them.

“It’s almost been 12 hours?”

[Yes]

“Very well, we’ll stop here for now, everyone pack-up, we’re about to leave” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Where are we going?” Anna asked.

“The S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress”

“…”

“Ye Fei Li, help me out a bit” Liao Xing yelled out.

“Fine” Ye Fei Li answered.

Shortly after, Ye Fei Li carried a trunk out, while Liao Xing packed a small backpack.

“What’s in there?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Some snacks, some spices, there’s also my personal pillow and massaging tools. Hey, don’t look at me like that, the mission to create a miniature warp device isn’t easy, I have to maintain myself you know” Liao Xing spoke.

Anna directly asked Gu Qing Shan for a small-sized Interstellar Warship to pack her stuff.

“How does one person use so much stuff?” Ye Fei Li couldn’t understand at all.

Anna looked at him in surprise, saying: “I’m only bringing the bare necessities you know”

Gu Qing Shan looked at them all and shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, Zhang Ying Hao tapped him on the shoulder and whispered: “I just got a 40-year old bottle of Royal Fireworks from the auction house”

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes lit up, whispering back: “Are you bringing it?”

“If I go get it, Ye Fei Li would notice. The only thing he drinks is the price, I’m afraid he’ll chug it all down in one gulp if he knows it”

“In your wine cellar?”

“Yeah”

“I’ll go”

Saying so, he made way towards the mansion as well.

About half an hour later, when they were all gathered on the S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress, the Game of Eternal was just about to begin.

The old voice was heard once again.

『 People of the world 』

『 The Apocalypse has come, calamities erupting all over the world, your fate is no better than

an ant in a tsunami. Insignificantly small and not in your control 』

『 Do you want to change your fate? 』

『 Struggle, keep on moving forward among the

bloodshed, as only the strong has the right to survive 』

『 If you wish to become eternal, then challenge it. Once you succeed, you shall gain immense strength! 』

Suddenly, the old voice changed its tone.

『 But there is a clown, a pest that won’t stop at anything to obstruct humanity’s reach towards eternal life, shattering humanity’s only hope of escaping from the apocalypse, massacring our innocent warriors 』

『 We will definitely not stand for this behavior! 』

『 To restore order to the Game’s challenges, to ensure the safety of our champions’ lives, I hereby declare, the Game of Eternal shall begin its update 』

『 The update time is currently unpredictable, estimated to take anywhere from one to three days 』

『 Once the game finishes its update, all our challengers may immediately enter the game and enjoy our newest features 』

After saying that much, the old voice disappeared.

Everyone was stunned.

Nobody expected things to turn out like this.

“What is it doing?” Zhang Ying Hao was confused.

“I’m afraid it’s gathering its power” Gu Qing Shan made a guess.

“In the game community, we call this ‘charging the Ult’” Ye Fei Li tried comparing it.

The Freedom Confederate.

Chang Ning County.

Lake Island.

A huge banquet.

Night had fallen, the clouds darken, the wind was blowing ever stronger, but the atmosphere inside the large banquet hall was beginning to heat up.

There were many famous people here, happily dining and discussing among themselves.

After the night banquet, the most famous orchestra in the Confederate started to play.

The ball that everyone has been anticipating begun.

The musicians played their instruments very carefully, keeping the volume just enough that everyone can hear it, but not enough to interrupt their talks.

Occasionally, a male noble will come to a certain female noble, bowed to etiquette, wait for them to return with a curtsy and join each other in a dance.

Quite a few handsome faces didn’t immediately go and ask for a dance, instead opting to wait and watch.

They were looking for the main protagonist of today’s ball.

However, she wasn’t here.

She was outside the banquet hall, at a secluded place in the mansion, deep within Lake Island. An empty and lonely outdoor training ground.

Su Xue Er was sitting alone at the outer ring of the training ground.

No one was around, no one but her Blazing Angel silently stood next to her.

Su Xue Er didn’t want to participate in the ball, so she sat here by herself, blankly staring at her Holo-Brain.

She watched what was on the screen with intrigue.

Her sight was straight, staring intensely at the headline.

The Capital’s International Conference Center.

Fuxi Emperor’s lavish banquet.

Anna was smiling beautifully, holding Gu Qing Shan’s hand while making their way towards the Emperor.

Su Xue Er had paused the footage on the Holo-Brain, stopping right at that scene for a very long time.

“Blazing Angel, I have a question” she spoke.

[Madam Su Xue Er, please ask] the Blazing Angel responded.

“Can you connect to Impartial Goddess?”

[Normally, I do not connect to the Goddess, but if you make a formal request, I can attempt to connect to her] the Blazing Angel answered.

“Then please, contact the Goddess for me, I have something to ask”

[Yes]

A few moments later, a solemn and melodious female voice was heard.

[I am Impartial Goddess, Confederate Aristocrat lady Su Xue Er, as per your request, I have made my way to the Lake Island]

“Impartial Goddess, I want to ask you something” Su Xue Er said.

[Confederate Aristocrat Su Xue Er is a mainline member of the 9 Lords, as well as a person of interest per Confederate Leader sir Gu Qing Shan’s request, I shall do my best to answer your question]

“What is Qing Shan ge doing right now?”

[Sir Gu Qing Shan’s current work is listed as top-secret; I cannot reveal it. I suggest Su Xue Er ask him directly, this would be the best solution]

“It’s because I’m afraid to ask him that I’m asking you” Su Xue Er sighed.

She silently thought for a bit, then asked: “Why did princess Anna and Qing Shan ge appear together?”

[I believe that is part of their mutual agreement when they entered a professional relationship as business partners] Impartial Goddess casually answered.

“A professional relationship?”

Hearing that, Su Xue Er felt her entire body came back to life.

She quickly pursued: “What kind of business?”

[Anna had joined sir Gu Qing Shan’s team]

Impartial Goddess continued: [In light of your and sir Gu Qing Shan’s relationship, I have answered a question that exceeds your authority]

“She joined Qing Shan ge’s team?” Su Xue Er thought for a bit, then questioned further: “What does Qing Shan ge’s team do?”

[Top-secret, I cannot reveal it] Impartial Goddess spoke.

Su Xue Er contemplated a bit, then said: “Using my status as the eldest daughter in the mainline of a 9 Lords family, I request to see the Holy Empire’s princess Anna’s personal profile”

[Request accepted]
