Chapter 495: The System’s new function
Translated by: La0o9
Proofreader: Arya
As he heard Kitty’s explanation, Gu Qing Shan understood their intention.
If you think about it carefully, with both of their powers, survival can at least be ensured.
Even more important than that was the existence of this Super Dimensional world itself.
If it weren’t for this Super Dimensional world, there would be quite a few things that could go wrong in their plan.
After Barry was wounded and became weaker, he could hide in this Super Dimensional world and not leave.
It seems no one managed to do anything about that.
If you look at it that way, a Super Dimensional world would be similar to a safe room.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he remembered something important.
“I sincerely need to ask something” he clasped his fist and said.
“Go ahead”
Kitty answered without looking up as she was peeling another spicy boiled crawfish.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Excuse me for asking, but how do you divide levels of strength in the 900 million World Layers?”
“How to divide them?”
Kitty licked the spicy sauce on her lip and replied: “First you have to understand——— there are 900 million World Layers, so the amount of strange, weird and unusual powers and species is so large, that even the Spire Keeper Association can only compile a language dictionary without being able to record all known characteristics of different abilities”
“Even they can’t do that?”
“That’s right. They once spent 100 years to record in detail the course of growth and final form of a few ten thousand kinds of powers that was known at the time, then they gave up”
“Why?”
“Because they found out during their process of recording that there were already several generations of new Combatants, in whom new powers were developing and growing, totaling to an astronomical amount”
“…it’s true that they wouldn’t be able to finish recording them no matter how long it takes” Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“There’s another, slightly more important reason”
“Which is?”
Kitty wiped her mouth and continued to explain: “Let’s say we have three Combatant, A can destroy a planet with one punch, with his strength, he’s able to counter B’s spells and magic, can you imagine this?”
“I can”
“Good, then B is countered by A, but B can easily overpower C’s God’s Chosen Skill. But C isn’t afraid of A’s attacks—— because C’s God’s Chosen Skill counters A’s martial arts and physical skills”
“These three can win against one person, while being countered by the other”
“Tell me, how do you think we should divide their levels of strength?”
This question stumped Gu Qing Shan.
He thought for a bit, but wasn’t able to come up with a good way to categorize them.
Kitty continued: “Please, this isn’t a fantasy , it’s reality we’re talking about here, there are a few abilities so out of this world that even those at the Spire Keeper Association haven’t seen before. That’s why, for most people there’s only one good way to divide levels of strength”
“What is it then?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Can defeat or cannot defeat”
“…that’s quite the simple way of putting it”
“That’s why most of the time, you need to depend on your own battle sense and experience, together with your wits to know the opponent’s true strength”
While saying that, Kitty took out her notebook and scribbled a few things on it.
“But that reminds me, in reality we can only use experience to tell who is stronger, but a does need a scale of power, that way readers won’t be confused”
“…” Gu Qing Shan.
Seeing the look on his face, Kitty couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m kidding”
Her tail was slowly wagging behind her, it seems she enjoyed teasing him just now.
“The situation I explained just now only counts when the difference in power between two sides weren’t too great”
“Normally, we have a simple standard to measure if someone is strong or not”
“What standard is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Freedom”
“How is that calculated?”
“A Super Dimensional world connects to infinite worlds, you need to be able to stand in a Super Dimensional world and break through space in a single attack to make the infinite worlds reveal themselves before you, only then can you call yourself a Combatant”
“Can you be a bit more specific?”
Kitty smiled: “There’s no need for you to remember so much right now. I can sense a sharp feeling of sword qi around you, once you’re able to slash space apart while you’re in this world and make at least 1 world reveal itself, you’ll barely qualify as a Combatant”
“When that time comes, I’ll tell you the specifics”
Gu Qing Shan inhaled deeply, saying: “Alright, I’ll try my best”
At this time, screams began to come out from the club.
Sometimes it was the Devil’s screams.
Sometimes it was Barry’s
But near the end, only the Devil’s screaming could be heard.
“Stop, don’t hit me anymore, I surrender” the Devil loudly begged for forgiveness.
“Bullshit! You can’t fool me, I can clearly see you still have a dagger of destruction hidden in the crotch of your pants, why not take it? You looking down on me?” Barry’s voice came, scoffing.
“Die!” the Devil suddenly shouted.
“Come at me!” Barry excitedly said.
Another round of battle started.
Kitty felt like talking more so she asked Gu Qing Shan: “Which world did you come from?”
“A Scattered world”
“Scattered world!? It’s quite a miracle for you to have made it here”
“I also felt it was a miracle”
“Then after tomorrow, where are you heading?”
“I still haven’t thought of that”
Kitty’s tail waved from side to side.
She could tell he was telling the truth.
This made her impression of him a bit better.
“Unfortunately, the most we could let you stay is one day” she sighed.
“Why is that?”
“Because if someone stays here for an extended period of time, they’ll be found out by our debtors and taken away”
“Taking me?”
“Yeah, they’ll recognize you as a member of the club”
“Since they can’t beat me or bro, they’ll catch and force you to work for them to pay back our debt”
“That can’t be good”
“That’s why tomorrow, when time’s up, you have no choice but to leave” Kitty sighed regretfully.
“Haven’t you thought of a way to pay back your debt?”
“Before bro’s wounds are fully healed, we could only stay here”
Kitty sighed: “That’s why we still need to rely on what little book royalty I can earn to pay for food”
She dejectedly lowered her head and continued with her manuscript.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her from the side.
On one side was the Devil’s screaming, the other was Kitty focused on her writing.
So right now, Gu Qing Shan had a bit of free time.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze then turned to the War God UI.
“System, now you can tell me the secret”
[Ting]!
The System let out a chime in response.
[The System holds many secrets]
[Your Destiny Quest reward had been used]
[Please listen carefully and make a choice]
[If you want to return to your world, this secret will be related to your original world]
[If you want to take this chance to remain here and get stronger, this secret will be related to a rumor]
[Please choose]
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Whatever secret the original world has can wait until I return.
The most important thing right now——– is for me to become stronger!
“No doubt about it, I want to become stronger”
Gu Qing Shan answered. historical
As soon as he finished, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[You’ve chosen to remain here]
[The System will tell you a secret to get stronger]
[Please listen carefully]
Seeing how solemn the System was about it, Gu Qing Shan nodded to express confirmation.
Lines of text began to show up on the War God UI.
[Call of the Bramble Birds]
[This is an ancient rumor]
[Among the 900 million World Layers, there are a group of World Layers were all living beings yearn for]
[These World Layers exist at the innermost locations of the Outer Plane, collectively known as Mystic Zones]
[The Bramble Birds are one such unique creature of the Mystic Zones. They like to hide a few of their favorite and most precious worlds within their wings]
[Whenever a Bramble Bird runs into trouble, it will leave the Mystic Zones and call out to all 900 million World Layers]
[Because it can’t trust Combatants that are too powerful, the Bramble Birds only extend their calls to young people to come to it and help solve such troubles]
[Once the Bramble Bird’s troubles had been solved, it will give out some of the precious treasures it kept to the young people that helped it]
Reading through all this, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed: “Such a mystical thing actually happens in the infinite world, what an eye-opener”
When he was about to avert his gaze from the War God UI, another line of text popped up.
[Now I will tell you the secret you’ve received]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “That thing with the Bramble Bird just now wasn’t the secret?”
[It is common knowledge among Super Dimensional worlds]
“Alright, then that is the secret?”
[How to activate the new War God function]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
A new War God function?
He looked downward from the War God UI.
The UI itself was blue, but there was a row of buttons below it.
These buttons looked like blackholes, where black mist occasionally drifted out from.
The first three functions: [War God Skills], [War God Thaumaturgy] and [War God Title] have all been unlocked.
They were all extremely practical abilities.
Like [War God Title] for example, before every battle, Gu Qing Shan would quickly select the appropriate title to use.
Back in the Suspended world, Gu Qing Shan had been constantly using the title [You Ji General].
Because an extra 15% attack speed was terrifying in the hands of a sword cultivator.
That speed was used largely to make up for his disadvantage of not having high enough cultivation.
And then there was [War God Skills]——- without this function, Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t have been able to learn a few of his most important skills as fast as he did, or at all.
[War God Thaumaturgy] ensured that he would always be able to get a thaumaturgy whenever he had the chance to—– provided that he completed a few arduous Quests.
But just look at [Shadow Shift] and [Severance], were any of them lacking compared to what he had to do?
——I definitely have to unlock the new War God function!
Gu Qing Shan immediately decided and spoke: “How should I unlock the new War God function?”
[Ting]!
The System responded: [You must remain at the Super Dimensional world and accept the call of the Bramble Birds]
