Truth-Seeker: However, reaching the Tenth Order through this method won't be so simple. Ultimately, before the Tenth Order, it's merely a matter of accumulating quantity. With enough luck, you could even fuse with a multiverse and instantly ascend to the realm of a Ninth Order powerhouse.
Truth-Seeker: But the Tenth Order is a dividing line—a qualitative leap. No matter how much you accumulate, without sufficient enlightenment, you'll never cross that threshold. You'll just keep stacking power infinitely at the multiversal level.
Truth-Seeker: Based on my speculation, the Divine Ring Master system should allow one to reach the Ninth Order at Ten Thousand Revolutions.
Truth-Seeker: Continuing to cultivate this system afterward would only determine how far you progress within the Ninth Order.
Truth-Seeker: It won't truly elevate you to the Tenth Order.
Truth-Seeker: Perhaps this is why the creators of the chat group don't pay much attention to realms below the Tenth Order across the multiverse.
Truth-Seeker: Sigh~ As expected, beneath the Tenth Order, all are but ants.
Dragon King Sprays Water: Impressive, impressive. But let's not dwell on the Tenth Order for now. None of us are at that level yet, so why overthink it?
Dragon King Sprays Water: Though… Ten Thousand Revolutions? That's still a long way off.
No-Shamelessness: Come on, Group Leader, at least there's hope. With our current cultivation systems, it's not even certain we can reach the Ninth Order.
Dragon King Sprays Water: Fair point.
No-Shamelessness: And Brother Tong, you've already done amazingly. According to the chat group's evaluation, your Spirit Master system genuinely has the potential to reach the Ninth Order. That's practically a path to the heavens.
Leisurely Stroll in the Mortal World: Zhang Chulan is right. Young friend Wu Tong, you've done exceptionally well. Merely reaching the Ninth Order is already the dream of countless people.
Don't Bully the Poor Youth: Yeah,大佬 (Big Bro), but I have a question—
Don't Bully the Poor Youth: Can you absorb energies like faith or incense offerings?
Don't Bully the Poor Youth: I thought faith was toxic?
Truth-Seeker: Ah, that? No need to worry.
Truth-Seeker: After the first revolution, the Divine Rings you condense act as filters.
Truth-Seeker: They can purify any energy, stripping away all harmful elements and leaving only the refined essence. After conversion, this energy can be absorbed to enhance yourself.
Truth-Seeker: However, note that the Divine Rings have their limits. They need time to self-adjust, and during that period, you'll have to rely on your own energy accumulation.
Truth-Seeker: But this isn't a real issue. The more Divine Rings you have and the higher their rank, the faster they convert energy.
Truth-Seeker: By the late stages, the energy you gather might not even keep up with the conversion speed.
No-Shamelessness: Holy crap, that's insane. Honestly, I'm tempted to switch systems now.
Don't Bully the Poor Youth: +1.
Truth-Seeker: No need to switch. I've tested it—the Divine Ring Master system, with the Martial Soul at its core, doesn't conflict with other systems. As long as you have the time, dual-cultivating two systems isn't a problem.
Dragon King Sprays Water: …
Dragon King Sprays Water: Brother Tong, sign me up! Quick—awaken my Martial Soul!
No-Shamelessness: Sneaky, Group Leader, stealing my first place.
No-Shamelessness: Brother Tong, I'm signing up too!
Don't Bully the Poor Youth: +1.
Camera Princess: Me too!
Leisurely Stroll in the Mortal World: To be honest, I'd also like to awaken a Martial Soul.
…
Hearing Wu Tong explain the advantages of the Divine Ring Master system, everyone was captivated.
This was a genuine path to the heavens!
Forget the potential to reach the Ninth Order—just the infinite lifespan after the first revolution was enough to tempt anyone.
In many of their worlds, immortality was outright impossible.
Now, all it took was cultivating a new system to achieve that goal effortlessly.
And on top of that, the Divine Ring Master system didn't clash with other cultivation methods.
Wasn't this just free benefits?
Only a fool would pass this up!
…
Truth-Seeker: Got it.
Truth-Seeker: (^_^).
Truth-Seeker: But for now, focus on your tasks. I'll help everyone awaken their Martial Souls during dinner tonight.
Truth-Seeker: Honestly, I'm curious about the awakening ceremony too.
Truth-Seeker: What kind of Martial Souls will you all awaken? Can't wait to see!
…
Though itching with anticipation after reading Wu Tong's message, everyone had to suppress their excitement.
After all, they couldn't just return now—none of them had spatial abilities.
And so, as the group yearned for time to fly by, the hours slipped away unnoticed.
Before they knew it, night had fallen on the following day.
Day and night cycled, and as the starry sky draped over the world, silence descended.
Only the occasional distant roars broke the stillness, casting a faintly oppressive atmosphere over the quiet night.
Japan.
Murozono City.
Inside a shopping mall.
By now, the zombies within the mall had been cleared out.
Corpses lay strewn haphazardly across the floor, ignored and unmourned.
Their deaths varied—some decapitated by a single slash, others with bullet holes through their foreheads, and a few with no visible wounds yet just as lifeless.
Under normal circumstances, such a gruesome massacre would have shocked the world.
But now, no one cared.
The mountain of corpses and river of blood went unnoticed.
And atop this macabre scene…
Was an entirely different sight.
…
The mall's rooftop.
Here, the space was brightly lit.
Warm, gentle lights filled every corner of the floor, leaving no shadow untouched.
The entire level looked as it had before the apocalypse—cozy and harmonious.
Surveying the preparations made by the others, Wu Tong nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad.
Quite the grand setup. It really sets the mood.
Once everything was ready, Wu Tong raised his right hand.
Snap—
A crisp sound rang out, followed instantly by the formation of multiple dimensional portals.
Dark-gray energy veils, shimmering with an air of mystery, connected to unknown realms.
As the portals opened, dozens of figures stepped through—members of the chat group and their assistants, gathered from across the world.
"Brother Tong, hurry—give me…"
The moment Zhang Chulan rushed out of the portal, his eyes locked onto Wu Tong like homing beacons.
