An Overview of the Transcendent, Tier 17 Pyramid

"An Introduction to the Endless Plane's Power System."

This was the second reward Yan Anqing received after completing Main Quest 2, aside from the copy-paste function used to fix loopholes.

He had originally thought it would be a book or a Word document appearing directly on his computer, but he hadn't expected it to manifest in this form.

"If it becomes possible to directly transmit information into the human brain, to what extent will this world develop?"

Yan Anqing couldn't help but start imagining the future.

Language, stone tools, fire, writing...

Bronzeware, metal machinery, steam engines, electricity, computers, nuclear energy...

Every revolution in energy, information, and materials propelled human civilization forward by a significant leap!

If he could develop this kind of black technology that directly transmits information to the human brain, the world would undoubtedly undergo earth-shattering changes.

Humans would no longer waste vast amounts of time learning and accumulating knowledge; even the efficiency of conversation and communication would increase thousands of times over.

Through language alone, one could at most transmit a few hundred bytes per minute, barely reaching a speed of 1KB per second.

People always wasted a lot of time talking.

"Thinking too far ahead, let's first take a good look at what this so-called 'Introduction to the Power System' actually is..."

Yan Anqing shook his head, collecting his thoughts.

About half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes.

According to the information from his golden finger, within the Endless Planes, the power levels of extraordinary individuals were divided into 17 tiers, like a pyramid.

Tiers 1-6 had different designations under various power systems.

Magic, Daoism, Cultivation, Battle Qi...

Psionics, Arcane Arts, Martial Souls, Potion Sequences, Driving Levels...

And so on, the list was endless.

From Tier 7 onwards, the myriad planes had a unified standard.

Tier 7 was [Legend], Tier 8 was [Epic].

Tier 9 [Fantasy]—Their deeds were recorded in writing, making it easy for people centuries later to mistake them for purely fictional characters, hence the name.

Tier 10 was [Divine Life], they could be called gods or True Immortals.

Extraordinary individuals in Tiers 11-15 were known as [Dominators].

Tier 16 [Supreme], as the name implied, was supreme and ruled all planes.

Tier 17 [Sin]—It was said that their very existence was the greatest original sin in the myriad planes. If they lived, all things would perish, and currently, no such mighty beings existed in the Endless Planes.

It wasn't just the tier names.

The introductory information also included the specific manifestations, advantages, and disadvantages of various cultivation systems at certain stages.

After the outline of individual power tiers appeared in his mind, Yan Anqing felt a sense of sadness.

The universe where Earth was located was called the [Demon-Sealing Plane].

In such a world, whether it was magic or cultivation, extraordinary individuals below Tier 10 would be suppressed to absolute zero, unable to cultivate their original core extraordinary systems.

Even a Tier 9 Fantasy-level being, if they came here by chance and wasn't careful, could be killed by an ordinary person with a knife.

Only by entering the [Dominator] realm could one resist this suppression and spread a sliver of divine radiance.

Only at the Tier 16 [Supreme] level would one not be suppressed.

For beings of this caliber, the Demon-Sealing Plane was a barren land with scarce resources and a lack of talent, offering no value for development.

After solving one problem, new doubts emerged.

Based on the information he had obtained, Yan Anqing couldn't guess how the so-called game bound to his soul had come into existence.

Pushing this doubt to the back of his mind, Yan Anqing made a rough calculation of the current progress of his modifications.

Yu Hongyi, who was progressing the fastest on the path of individual transcendence, was already considered an extraordinary individual at the peak of Tier 1.

Ma Ran, due to issues with his willpower, had only managed to touch the edge of the mid-Tier 1 stage.

The other golden-eyed and Silver-Eyed individuals had just had Limitless Cells implanted.

According to the classification of the Endless Planes, this was equivalent to condensing a battle qi core, constructing a meditation model, implanting a Daoist seed, and refining the first wisp of Spiritual Power.

They had barely entered the early Tier 1 stage.

As for Yan Anqing himself, by cheating reality through modifying images, he was directly at the peak of Tier 1.

He was forging an unprecedented path of transcendence in the Demon-Sealing Plane, researching every step thoroughly and completely.

It could be said that as long as Yan Anqing was willing and had the time, he could turn everyone in the world into peak Tier 1 individuals, ushering in a new era of universal transcendence!

However, doing so would consume too much time and energy, and it would also pose a certain degree of harm to social stability, hindering the exploration of the path of transcendence.

Therefore, Yan Anqing decided to put it aside for now and proceed slowly.

Knock knock knock...

The door was suddenly knocked on.

"Come in."

A pale-faced, golden-eyed individual appeared before Yan Anqing.

Ma Ran.

The experimental subject A, who constantly broke through his limits yet was still far inferior to Yu Hongyi.

"I know what you want to say."

Yan Anqing looked at Ma Ran intently. "You're too self-deprecating. Why do you have to compare yourself to others? Isn't it better to compare yourself to yourself?"

Hearing this, Ma Ran fell silent, completely lacking the liveliness he had when they first met.

"Perhaps you don't have a clear sense of it yourself, so let me help you feel just how strong you are now..."

As Yan Anqing spoke, he took out something that looked like a pen from his pocket.

He unscrewed the cap and pointed the tip at Ma Ran's nose.

"Try your best to dodge. If you can't, you'll get hurt..."

Although Ma Ran didn't know what this pen-like object was, his brow twitched, and a strong sixth sense made him instinctively dodge.

Bang!

Snap!

A faint gunshot sounded near Ma Ran's ears.

At the same time, the water cup on the table suddenly exploded!

Glass shards scattered across the floor, and water splashed everywhere...

A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head. Ma Ran broke out in a cold sweat, his face showing a look of lingering fear.

"Wait! Is that a gun? You don't actually intend to kill..."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three more shots.

Ma Ran's body reacted before his mind could.

Each shot was aimed at a vital spot.

He successfully dodged every single one.

Yan Anqing safetied the "pen," put it back in his pocket, and looked at him expressionlessly. "See? Even if ordinary people hold a gun, they can't hit you."

"Do you still think you're useless?"

In this shooting game, Yan Anqing had deliberately suppressed his abilities, firing with the comprehensive capabilities of an ordinary person.

Ma Ran's speed had not actually reached the level of dodging bullets in flight.

He had merely observed the aiming point of the gun and made a preemptive dodge when Yan Anqing pulled the trigger.

Even so, dodging bullets...

The visual impact was immense!

In a daze, Ma Ran, who had narrowly escaped death, let out a silly grin.

He felt like Neo from The Matrix.

This sense of accomplishment and the feeling of "I have indeed become stronger" invigorated his spirit.

Seeing that he had somewhat recovered, Yan Anqing unhesitatingly poured cold water on him again. "You're still far from it. If someone shoots you a few times from behind, you'll still die."

The lethality difference between firearms was enormous.

For smaller caliber police firearms, transcendent beings like Yan Anqing and Yu Hongyi at the peak of Tier 1 could withstand more than a dozen shots head-on. As long as they didn't die immediately, they could recover and be back on their feet after proper treatment.

However, being blocked by several large-caliber submachine guns could easily turn them into a bloody pulp.

As for large-yield nuclear weapons, according to comparative data in the theories, they could even threaten, injure, or even eliminate Tier 7 Legends.

This was why Yan Anqing said that Ma Ran was still far from ready.

At this moment, the little panda, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly popped out again.

"Main Quest 3 initiated..."

Roar! Please vote with your recommendation tickets! They refresh daily! If you don't use them, they go to waste! It's such a shame!
