Chapter 519
Saint rank, meaning entering the realm of the divine . Since it was called Saint, this was a realm that the great majority of mortals would never manage to achieve .
Iron Bloodline, Copper Body, Silver Might, Gold Will, Legend Master, Mortal Saint, Undying Myth, and Indestructible SemiGod . Those were the nicknames given to each power rank for the mortal plane, as well as a way to separate how much personal potential each person had developed .
Since the great majority of humans in the mortal plane were far too weak, this power level ranking system was far too detailed in the weaker ranks, but overly vague for the higher power levels . As the Elemental Tide increased at a furious pace and average power levels rapidly rose, this power level ranking system would start showing its outdatedness .
It was said that the fairies were in the process of creating a new power ranking system . It was also rumored that the previously well-known Three Heavy Doors of Myth, the hardest barriers to surpass in order to reach SemiGod, were each becoming their own individual rank . But as for the Saint rank, the fairies only separated this rank into True Saint and Almost Saint . And, the difference between these was whether the Saint rank could create their own realm or not .
Indeed, just their own realm, not a Soul World . Even in the past, when the highest-power-level individuals had far stronger foundations, only a minority of Saint-ranked individuals would have Soul Worlds .
Legend rank was all about finding one's personal path . And in the Saint rank, the personal path had already been determined . One's chosen personal path would now have the power to influence the surrounding environment . Those with the strongest will and belief in their personal path would even be able to create their Soul Worlds .
Saints were far stronger than Legends at controlling the surrounding environment and themselves . Perhaps a Saint wouldn't have a large increase in mana or strength compared to Legends, but the greater control over little details would allow them to do three tasks simultaneously for the same amount of concentration as a Legend . And, more importantly, Saints were finally getting into contact with 'Concepts', and would become capable of performing deeds that went against physical or even magical laws . And, the best example of this would be the most powerful Saint ranks, who were capable of using their very willpower to change the world around them .
But in the current generation, as power levels were easier to achieve, so-called True Saints' personal realms were only much weaker editions of Soul Worlds . These Saints were probably capable of no more than forcibly changing the four elements within a limited radius around themselves in order to buff their personal spells and techniques .
Using one's willpower to directly change the world was massively different from using willpower over the elements to change the surrounding environment . Since they were so different, it was only natural that the former was far stronger than the latter . It would seem that even though it became slightly easier to reach the standard of Saint rank, the foundational natural law that "hard work pays off" would never change .
Of course, there would still be new Saint ranks in this generation that could utilize personal Soul Worlds . There would always be a few geniuses out there in any generation . But, the great majority of new Saint ranks in this generation would likely never create a personal Soul World in their lives .
"So, it's quite normal that I don't have a Soul World anymore . "
Indeed, my Soul World had now transformed into the bugged personal world of Hell . Even though I had now reached Saint ranked, if you only looked at my personal mana pool, the change wasn't that big .
"But, don't tell me that you don't have a Soul World, Harloys . "
If it really wouldn't improve my power significantly, there would have been no need for me to forcibly improve my power level before the next big battle . Although it was impossible for me to obtain another Soul World as I had my personal Hell world, my magical pet could have her own Soul World!
Harloys, a former undead at the peak of Myth rank . Although I had never seen her Soul World before, with her powerful will (due to her incredibly deep grudge against the Elf Gods) and millennium of experience, it would be inconceivable for her not to have a Soul World .
The magical pet contract would limit the pet, making her unable to be stronger than the master . This ironclad law of magical contracts limited Harloys' personal development . But now that I had become Saint rank, she naturally entered Saint rank together with me .
"…Yeah, I have one that can be used . But, I'll be able to summon it one time at most in this battle . "
I was immediately delighted to hear this . After all, a Soul World would be the representation of an individual's greatest desire and ideal . There were also plenty of Soul Worlds that would be unsuitable for direct combat, such as Beifeng's ideal of all-encompassing love . Harloys' personal Soul World's information had never been leaked . I had thought that it was because her Soul World was also unsuitable for combat .
But, before I got a chance to ask what it was, a huge commotion started outside .
"The undead, the undead are coming!"
The undead arrived earlier than expected—on noon of the second day after theirvanguard was eradicated . As always, the undead flying units were the first to arrive . They circled the air as if they were vultures heartlessly following people in the desert—just waiting to enjoy your corroded flesh once you died, yet not intending to directly attack you .
"Undead Winged Tribe, phantoms, bone dragons, flying zombies, undead aerial knights, gargoyles, and so on . There's really such a wide variety . It would seem that Conservation brought the full forces of her Death Plane . "
The undead in the skies seemed like they could fill a museum . Of course, their power level would also vary wildly . There were low levels like level 2 or level 3 gargoyles, all the way to level 5 Legend rank bone dragons . And, there were also plenty of powerful undead individuals that were Undead Thanes or Undead Lords .
I even saw a Desecrating Beholder amongst the undead . This was a gigantic undead monster that possessed its own aura of despair, and it resembled a giant brain with a single eye . It also had several hundred smaller eyes on the tips of each of its tentacles, and each eye was glowing with a black light . These Beholders were almost completely extinct in the mortal plane, and could only be evolved from the corpse of a SemiGod individual .
It was said that each and every one of its smaller eyes was capable of casting magic spells . Perhaps the smaller eyes would be unable to cast stronger magic spells, but just one Desecrating Beholder would have the strength of an entire mage squadron . And, the large eye right in the center was rumored to possess true vision, curse, death beam magic, and all other sorts of powerful abilities . This one Beholder alone would already be like a super mega cannon turret .
"Tsk, there's even a divine mummy created from a God's corpse? What generation did this ancient artifact come out from?"
