An Examination of Divine Hierarchies
Su Luo took the [Genli Zhi Mo] out of the Dream World and began to calculate the [possibilities].
"But these problems aren't the most serious. Where, then, will the most serious problems arise?"
"The batch of knowledge I planned to buy before leaving."
"Yun Xiaoxiao, what changes have you noticed recently regarding the Library's knowledge base that I've been asking you to keep an eye on?"
Yun Xiaoxiao checked. "A new discipline has been added—[Alchemy]. However, its content and publication date are changing; the earliest appearance was ten years ago."
Just a few days ago, Alchemy was still a simple concept, with only a few instructors giving trial lectures.
Now, Alchemy has transformed from a niche concept with only a handful of people attempting to teach it into a mainstream academic discipline.
The library's collection of books, textbooks, teachers' resumes, historical records... were all falsified.
History is being overwritten, including the knowledge in college Libraries, which is also changing silently.
That's quite insidious.
Even Su Luo didn't know where the knowledge had been tampered with, so she couldn't just throw it away without hesitation like she had when facing the alchemical scrolls before.
Upon arriving at the Library, Su Luo purchased some general knowledge and books, then stopped buying anything else, refusing to purchase any more technical or knowledge items of great value.
"Why don't you just leave?"
Yun Xiaoxiao ran outside to look at the bustling students in the academy, then ran back and asked.
"What's the rush? I've already said it: the Career Advancement Dungeon requires finding a balance between risk and reward."
"We don't know where Kin Number One Crossing to yet. Let's talk about it in a few days."
Even if the environment of the Career Advancement Dungeon is harsh, it is still valuable.
One is resources from other Paths, and the other is the acceleration of time.
Su Luo went to a sister research group of the [South Force Research Group] and borrowed two resources directly from the Work-Study Students at an exorbitant price: [Martial Saint’s Remains] and [Incense-Prayer Mantis].
"Look, these are the ones doing proper experiments. These two are [Demigod] level experimental subjects, unlike the [South Force Research Group] which treats students as experimental subjects."
With a human skin in her left hand and a small insect in her right, Su Luo returned to the Library, completely satisfied.
The research group could apply to the college for experimental supplies. The "[Nancun Groupmates Praise My Potency Research Group" applied for all of its experimental funds and used them for lending, while the "[Nancun Groupmates Mock My Impotence Research Group" properly applied for experimental supplies.
Logically speaking, these two items should not be lent out, but the exorbitant price of tens of billions for a one-week loan blinded the Work-Study Students.
Problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems.
Afterward, Su Luo Jingjing observed the changes throughout the academy, occasionally attending a simple pre-made class to freeload off the time flow of the classroom.
Even all three Attributes increased by Attribute, which is about 30%.
The knowledge and books in the Library are also slowly changing.
For example, there was a book Su Luo had previously purchased called [The Origin of Divine Order: Divinity Hierarchy Examination].
This book is considered a general knowledge book, recording several power divisions on the Faith Side from the perspective of an interviewer.
It also has limitations, but Su Luo believes that its minor ranks are divided in a relatively detailed way, which can be used as a reference for the Faith Side.
The book begins like this:
In the beginning, the Order Chaos. Primal chaos ravaged Ten Thousand Worlds, and all living beings lived in constant fear.
Thus, the Supreme God descended from Ethereal, establishing laws, hierarchy, and suppressing the chaos of antiquity; this is the origin of Divine Order.
Divinity has a strict hierarchy, progressing step by step, and cannot be transgressed.
This book describes the Faith Side as the first transcendental system in the heavens, because the author himself is from the Faith Side.
People are always accustomed to explaining the world with the most complex and incomprehensible things, and this author regarded these World Rules of the entire heaven as [Divine Order].
He even believed that Supreme God existed in the heavens, and that the so-called world, living beings, and time and space were all [Divine Order] bestowed by the Supreme God.
That's nothing. Beings from different perspectives will put forward different viewpoints and theories. Su Luo even saw a book that analyzed the All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds as if they were a novel.
[First Tier: Spirit-Favored
The Divinity blessings of heaven and earth permeate the plants, animals, and devout mortals.
It possesses a faint divine breath, understands the basics of bestowing blessings, and is responsible for protecting the land and its people.
With pure Mind Nature and blessed by Divinity, they are the most fundamental executors of Order.
Second Tier: Apostle
He travels the world, spreading the sacred teachings, quelling Calamities, building shrines, and winning the hearts of the people. [A mortal body imbued with Divinity]
[Third Tier: Throne Spirit
Deification the divine body, break free from the shackles of mortal form. Assume Godhead with a fixed domain, protected by orthodox Divine Order law.
[Mu Ri] used to be at this level; I wonder what level it has reached now.
The next level is the [Demigod] level, which is also the reason why Su Luo read this book.
[Fourth Tier: Oathbound God
Ignite the Divine Fire, exalt the divine throne, establish the Divine Kingdom, and wield Authority; however, power is still linked to the number of believers, and a decrease in believers will lead to a decline in strength.
To be honest, I've never seen a god like this Su Luo. It's like he's in a transitional phase before becoming Demigod.
[Fifth Tier: Authority Chief God
By defining the Fate of the world, the divine office is no longer limited to a single phenomenon, but can encompass a category of concepts.
The Divine Kingdom is vast and capable of independently formulating its own internal laws and appointing lower-ranking deities...
Such beings can often establish an entire pantheon; the Chief Gods of the [Divine Court World] are at this level.
This power has transcended the influence of believers and transformed into the strength of the world upon which it depends.
Su Luo read it carefully. The author said that most [Demigods ], regardless of whether their strength differs by a thousand or ten thousand times, are actually at this level, and it is mostly a matter of the strength of the world.
There were also some sub-ranks within, which Su Luo recorded.
[Sixth Rank: Dao Venerable
Through countless ages of decline and endless Reincarnation, year after year, Reincarnation the ebb and flow of life, by reciting His true name with a single thought, He becomes Immortality, He is reborn, and He Authority eternally.
One surname can govern all laws, and one name can determine a thousand autumns.
The destruction of the world, the collapse of the starry sea, and the extinction of civilizations cannot diminish the Dao Venerable's foundation in the slightest. He is Immortality being who walks outside the order of time and floats outside the Reincarnation.
That's just bragging.
But Su Luo looked through the information again and found that it wasn't just a rumor.
That unknown dean is at that level.
Because such powerful beings truly exist within this World Cluster, the author wrote based on their descriptions.
It is definitely an existence above [Demigod].
"Speaking of which, didn't the dean already take that step? Why is [Audrey] still asking me how to proceed?"
Su Luo thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she moved on to the next one.
The last one was pure fantasy. Su Luo glanced at it and felt it was written a bit unrealistically.
