The History of 26
In the ancient times, the Star Abyss, which gave birth to the universe and created everything, suddenly sensed three dimensional destroyers from outside.
Knowing that they would bring eternal destruction, the Star Abyss launched the ' Star Abyss War ', drawing power from existence to create gods to fight against the invaders.
Countless Star Abyss Gods perished in this war against the Three Great Destroyers. Even the six Supreme Path gods personally nurtured by Star Abyss were no exception.
At first, the battles of the gods went smoothly, keeping the enemy outside the Star Abyss, which is the outermost layer of the universe, even beyond the Abyss.
At that time, the gods created the universe themselves as a buffer zone and fortress, resisting for a long time, and the Destroyers never set foot in the true Abyss.
The [Destruction] system's chief god died in battle; the [Art] system's chief god perished; and the [Strange] system's chief god was split into three. Two of them almost disappeared, abandoning combat and confrontation. The [Source Abyss Celestial Lord] was relatively active, often giving mysterious whispers to the [Mutant].
The chief deity of the [Redemption] system, Lai Anding, had a very complicated situation. It can only be said that his fate was worse than death.
The chief god of the [Dominion] system, ' Morphedria ', died completely. It is said that he was devoured long ago, but his agent, the [God of Reality], continued to fight with his authority and divine power until he was also destroyed. He was besieged by countless [Society] beings and finally defeated due to exhaustion.
With Lioz's defeat, the last Star Abyss Main God also fell.
Incidentally, the name of that "God of Reality" is said to be ' Lioz '.
But Li Aoz knew very well that because of the widespread legend of Lioz's constant struggle, people had long regarded Lioz as the "Starry Sky Hero" and the "Savior Lioz".
This name has long been secularized; there are plenty of people who use this name.
People felt sorry for the story of Lioz's death and thought that such a loyal and brave god was very precious.
However, this history did not end there.
The myth continues.
The original [Plunder] main god, Red King, did the exact opposite of Lioz.
He was corrupted by the [Jewel Dragon King], one of the Destroyers, and betrayed the Star Abyss that nurtured and cultivated him. He can be said to be the most despicable collaborator, the most hateful traitor, and the most shameless beast.
Red King is still alive and well.
Moreover, Narrative-level Civilization like the United Company perpetuate Red King's divine name and faith by spreading their teachings.
The gods who dared to rebel during the same period have mostly disappeared and been buried in history, while the sinners of Star Abyss live better than anyone else.
But Red King's existence was not meaningless.
After all, the era of the Destroyers and the Star Abyss Gods has long since vanished, but the vacant divine seats they left behind radiate a maddening glow.
Times are always changing, and the evaluation of the same person will change in each era.
Former war heroes are now condemned as war criminals and sinners, while former traitors are rare and are regarded as peace ambassadors.
Those who once criticized and condemned the Star Abyss traitor ' Red King ', idealists with noble sentiments, lost their voice and support after Star Abyss ushered in peace. They were considered bastards who destroyed peace, old-fashioned people who only knew how to kill and had no ambition.
Red King is a living historical myth, the only existing supreme god. Who wouldn't want to join his ranks? Even if they couldn't become a supreme god, they could at least benefit from it.
The past is past.
Nowadays, all living things only want to compete for all resources in order to reproduce and thrive.
The era of gods protecting mortals has ended.
The struggle among mortals for the throne of the gods has only just begun!
It is truly a pity that an idealistic warrior like Lioz died under such despicable attacks.
It's a pity, but nowadays people would love to say, "Good death."
Don't interfere with your uncle's path to making money, becoming a god, achieving immortality, and dominating the universe.
With the end of the era of the main gods, the major Narrative-level began to compete for the path of cultivation and gradually figured out some rules.
Among them, the most important is that the path of enlightenment, which is the ' God-Embracing Path ' through which an individual gradually ascends to godhood, is divided into detailed levels.
Within the Star Abyss, the path to ascension is divided into 24 stages. Successfully Promote Stratum signifies a new level of personal development.
This was determined by Narrative-level Civilization, and no one knows why such a convoluted and mysterious alphabet was used.
In terms of player level, every 20 levels gained in the Main Class can be considered as advancing one rank in the path of cultivation.
However, there are exceptions. Most NPCs are different from players. They enjoy the bonuses from their secondary professions. As long as their Total Level meets the requirements, they can still advance even if their Main Class is not up to par.
First, there are the top 10 ranks: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Ita, Sita, Yota, and Kappa; (levels 20-200). In this range, a qualified Kappa-rank is already a key figure in the universe who can influence the outcome of the battlefield. However, advancing to the Kappa-rank is an insurmountable obstacle for the native creatures of the first layer of Star Abyss.
All the Kappa-rank are those who have descended to the Star Abyss, received blessings and trials there, and then returned to the first level, bearing the Ascension Curse.
Therefore, the first 10 orders are divided by the Kappa-rank and are also known as the ' Curse-Free ' interval.
The path is one of constant spiraling upwards, revolving around curses and blessings; it is the true Path to Divinity.
Within the ' Curse-Free ' zone, Li Aoz clearly remembered that there were two opportunities for individual racial ascension.
Upon advancing to the Epsilon-rank, one can achieve ' Initial Ascension,' resulting in optimized genetic structure, significantly increased lifespan, and further unlocked potential.
Next, when you advance to the Kappa-rank, you can achieve ' Second Ascension '. At this stage, your individual form will undergo a huge transformation, and your power level will change dramatically.
The most prominent feature is that they are able to live in the vacuum of space and become true 'cosmic beings'.
As for the subsequent 14 stages, they are further divided into two intervals.
From level 11 to level 23: Lambda, Mu, New, Caxi, Omikron, Pai, Rou, Sigma, Tao, Upsilon, Fei, Kai, and Pusi (levels 220-460) are in this range. Because they have to repeatedly dive and rise into the Star Abyss to continuously unleash their potential, they have to endure a lot of curses and have to stick together for warmth. Therefore, this range is also known as the ' Strong Curse ' range.
Within the range of Strong Curse, there is no fixed number of ascensions.
You can undergo ' Strengthened Ascension ' or ' Complete Ascension ', but at most, you can only achieve ' Deep Ascension '.
In his previous life, Li Aoz was at level 300 [Starcaller], Omikron-rank. As Master Player, he had already completed ' Deep Ascension '.
However, he was unlucky and suffered the Ascension Curse several more times.
Under normal circumstances, a Starcaller who has completed ' Deep Ascension ' should be over 1 million kilometers tall, but Li Aoz's character is only 300,000 kilometers tall.
Even so, achieving ' Deep Ascension ' is already considered to be at the level of Star Abyss demigod.
The final range is the unique ' Omega-rank ' (480 levels).
Li Aoz couldn't even imagine what the Omega-rank was like. Their existence was beyond what this universe could sustain. Most of the time, they were immersed around the lowest level of the Star Abyss, or huddled in the deepest part of the Narrative-level, not daring to act rashly.
Their bodies have been Ascension Curse, and the number of Omega-rank who can move and exert combat power is probably less than three digits. As for those who can ascend to godhood and enjoy the worship of the main gods throughout the entire path, there are even fewer than two digits.
Besides the commonly used name Omega-rank, this range, as well as beings above level 480, are also referred to as the ' Curse-Breaking ' range.
As for whether ascension still exists once the Curse-Breaking —that remains to be seen.
Different races receive different attribute points, talents, and abilities after ascension. The ascension process also gradually selects out the most powerful bloodlines.
