Great Life Ascension

The more than thirty thousand realms of advancement once again showed Tang Chuan the vastness and biodiversity of the Boundless Main Universe.

At the same time, they exhausted him. Without question, he was currently at the very bottom of those thirty thousand-plus realms—a completely undisputed Mortal.

However, Tang Chuan remembered that he was not entirely without support. Whether it was the Fantasy Weapon, Meatball, or the items in the Main God Hall's public Treasure Vault, all of them were resources he could draw upon!

With that thought, Tang Chuan reined in his helpless thoughts and said to Quintessa, "More than thirty thousand realms are too many. Quintessa, simplify it for me again."

"Yes, Master."

As soon as she spoke, the densely packed classifications on the information panel before him continuously vanished and reorganized.

In the end, the titles on the information panel had been condensed into more than a thousand.

Tang Chuan was still exhausted. "More than a thousand is still too many. Can't it be simplified further?"

Quintessa said helplessly, "This is already very simplified. There are simply too many things in the Main Universe that contain great power. Within these simplified thousand-plus life levels, every increase of one or two levels creates an indisputable crushing advantage over beings beneath them. Simplifying it any further would completely lose the meaning of classification."

Yet Tang Chuan still shook his head. "So it can still be simplified? How about this: directly treat every Great Life Ascension as one level. Even if the gap within the same level is enormous, as long as they can barely be called the same type of life-form, classify them at the same level. Like the gap between Sai Ya People and Azure Star people.

After all, although Sai Ya People can shatter planets as easily as playing around, they still follow the laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Then they can be considered creatures of the same level as Azure Star humans!

Otherwise, there are too many and they're too complicated. With tens of thousands of classifications, I couldn't memorize them even if I tried. Just looking at them is exhausting."

Quintessa said helplessly, "All right, then. Mm, based on Master's idea and after comprehensive consideration, I have divided them into eighteen major levels.

There is an utterly insurmountable gulf between each level. Every advancement brings about a major ascension in life-form, which could be described as... rising half a life dimension."

At last, the information panel before him could be taken in at a glance.

Quintessa had divided the life levels of Main Universe creatures into eighteen grades!

The notes behind every grade left Tang Chuan dumbfounded.

Just as Quintessa had said, nearly every rise in level elevated one's life-form by half a dimension!

That was not an exaggeration at all!

After the twelfth level, some creatures could actually become powerful enough to manipulate laws such as time and space at will, comprehend the true mysteries of the past and future, and possess the ability to alter reality within the river of laws!

After the thirteenth level, every grade possessed the power to destroy numerous Sub-Universes!

A Sub-Universe referred to the countless universes outside the Main Universe, as vast and innumerable as grains of sand, constantly being born every moment. Tang Chuan's hometown was one of them.

Of course, within the Main Universe, due to the suppression of its rules and the restrictions of the Main God Codex, these indescribable High-Dimensional Life forms could not act however they pleased. They all had to obey the order of the Codex!

These eighteen life levels were:

Planet Butcher, Fourth Cosmic Speed, Physical Star, Hyperdimensional Black Hole, Other Side of the Galaxy, Immortal and Indestructible... Orderkeeper, Demigod, Lower God, Middle God, Upper God, Omnipotent God, Supreme Main Gods!

Even though he had been prepared, Tang Chuan was still stunned.

A Demigod was at the thirteenth life level?

Every realm before that was already beyond his imagination. How long would it take, and what kind of opportunity would he need, to reach the thirteenth life level?

Just as Quintessa had said, because thirty thousand levels had been forcibly condensed into eighteen tiers, not only were the gaps between them impossibly vast, but the upper and lower limits of every level were also frighteningly high. It was utterly maddening.

Take the first level, Planet Butcher.

It roughly meant possessing the ability to slaughter Mortal civilizations. Its upper limit was being able to sink the continental plates of an ordinary planet, or even, through sustained output, damage the planetary core and thereby destroy a planet's "vitality."

The second level, Fourth Cosmic Speed.

It meant being able to adapt to most cosmic environments and, using one's own generated energy, break through the fourth cosmic velocity of a supermassive galaxy in the Main Universe. More importantly, one's own physical strength had to be sufficient to adapt to the vast majority of harsh cosmic environments.

The gap within this level was equally immense. After all, the extreme environments within the Main Universe varied enormously. In countless regions, even super-planets would be crushed full of holes. The Fourth Cosmic Speed in high-gravity regions could even rival the speed of light in certain Sub-Universes.

The third level, Physical Star.

It roughly meant that a single individual possessed the kinetic energy of a Main Universe star and could easily destroy several Planetary Systems!

Yet Main Universe stars differed as vastly as clouds and mud, whether in size or in the energy they contained. The difference was like an uncrossable chasm.

Therefore, the gap between the upper and lower limits of life at this level was also outrageously enormous.

The fourth level, Hyperdimensional Black Hole.

It roughly meant that one could use the physical body to touch upon the mysteries of time and space, travel through wormholes, or even carve out spatial tunnels with bare hands to cross galaxies.

Do not underestimate this level. Traveling through wormholes with one's physical body—the countless twisted laws within, the chaotic gravity differing by hundreds of millions of times, and the fragments of spacetime that occasionally shifted into abstract forms—could easily crush even a super white dwarf into dust in an instant!

To travel through them with one's body, cross countless light-years in a moment, or even create wormholes oneself, naturally far surpassed the level of a Physical Star.

The notes for the levels after that left Tang Chuan increasingly unable to comment. They were things that completely surpassed human imagination, yet truly existed!

Some creatures possessed dimensions so high that, if they were unwilling to "lower themselves," they might stand before three-dimensional beings such as Azure Star humans, and those three-dimensional beings would be unable to catch even a glimpse of them with the naked eye!

They stood right before you, yet existed within a time dimension before you. Just as two-dimensional creatures could not perceive the existence of humans, humans likewise could not perceive the outward form of such High-Dimensional Life!

The descriptions of the later levels became increasingly obscure and difficult to understand, their forms abstract enough to leave Tang Chuan utterly confused.

Fortunately, he did not try to analyze or comprehend them in depth. It was enough to roughly remember the eighteen life levels. In any case, they were still far too distant from him.

At that point, Tang Chuan began thinking about how he could quickly grow stronger.

Whether it was for returning to his hometown or surviving in this vast Main Universe, strength was an obstacle he could not avoid.

If he had the opportunity and the need, he would certainly go retrieve things from the Main God Hall's public Treasure Vault.

But definitely not now. Even if those items were given to him, it would be like giving an oil field to someone parched with thirst. Not only could his body not contain an oil field, he could not digest the substances within it at all!

At the very least, he had to wait until he could barely refine a portion of divine power into matter his life-form could endure before considering it.

Otherwise, if he carelessly disturbed anything and even a thread of energy leaked from those items, he would be annihilated in both body and soul. That would be even more absurd than a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.

Likewise, not only did he lack any clear, specific way to contact Meatball, he also could not go asking the Main Gods for help over every trivial matter.

Given the God of Calamity and Terror's usual personality, he definitely would not do such things. If Tang Chuan did it too often, he would absolutely expose himself.

So, using the help he already had available, what method could allow him to rapidly elevate his life-form and achieve a Great Life Ascension?

Suddenly, as Tang Chuan sank into deep thought, an idea surged out from the Divine Core, making him feel as though he had been enlightened and instantly opening his mind—

Power of Faith!
