Chapter 69: Criteria for Classifying Ability User Power Levels, Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun's Strength

【Official Announcement from the Celestial Pivot Bureau—Criteria for Classifying Ability User Power Levels】

【In light of the progress of the Qi Resurgence and the growth in power of ability users and holders of Heavens' Treasures across the globe, in order to more clearly distinguish individual combat tiers, the "Criteria for Classifying Ability User Power Levels (Trial)" is hereby officially released.】

Ye Xuan looked at the information published on the Celestial Pivot Bureau's official website, his expression somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the Bureau to classify the ranks of ability users and holders of Heavens' Treasures at this particular juncture.

The Qi Resurgence had only passed a few months ago; by rights, they should have waited until at least after a Cultivation Technique accessible to the entire populace had been researched before releasing this.

He clicked open the document and began to read.

【Tier One (Awakened): Abilities have just awakened, are still unstable, possess limited lethality, yet can still surpass the limits of ordinary humans.

Manifestation: Single attributes such as strength, speed, and reaction reach the level of top human athletes, or possess weak elemental control capabilities.】

【Tier Two (Extraordinary): Abilities have initially stabilized, possess practical combat value, can easily defeat untrained humans, yet still fear modern weapons.】

Manifestation: Can briefly erupt with power surpassing human limits, or unleash small-scale elemental attacks.】

【Tier Three (Elite): Abilities are mature, can directly contend with small armed forces, and possess certain resistance to conventional thermal weapons.

Manifestation: Can sustain high-intensity combat for long periods, or unleash large-scale abilities.】

【Tier Four (Strategic): Possess the capability to change local battlefields, can fight armies alone, and are difficult for modern conventional weapons to effectively kill.

Manifestation: Can easily destroy building clusters, or unleash attacks covering hundreds of meters.】

【Tier Five (Nuclear Level): A walking human mushroom cloud, possessing single-person combat power against a nation, can easily destroy cities, with deterrent force equivalent to strategic weapons.

Manifestation: Can release destructive attacks (such as instantly evaporating lakes, triggering regional natural disasters, etc.); currently, only an extremely small number of existences within the global scope have reached this level.】

【. 】

Ye Xuan swept his gaze over the subsequent few tiers: Tier Six (Continental Level) could affect continental plates and easily destroy a nation; Tier Seven (Surface Level) could destroy the surface of Blue Star.

Tier Eight (Planetary Level): Capable of directly or indirectly destroying a planet the size of Blue Star; Tier Nine (Unknown): Surpasses existing cognition, unable to assess the upper limit.

Unlike the realm divisions in human fantasy works, what the Celestial Pivot Bureau released was merely a definition targeting the manifest power of ability users and holders of Heavens' Treasures.

Possessing a certain degree of manifest power automatically categorizes one into a specific tier.

Moreover, perhaps to allow everyone to understand more clearly, the division of tiers was extremely simple, and the definitions of manifest power were described in great detail; basically, everyone could thereby form a concept of their own strength.

As for Ye Xuan, he was currently at Tier Five (Nuclear Level), possessing single-person combat power against a nation, able to easily destroy cities, with deterrent force equivalent to strategic weapons.

However, even within the same tier, there are strong and weak; Ye Xuan did not possess the destructive power to destroy a nation in a single strike, and Lan Ran similarly did not; though both seemingly belonged to the Nuclear Level, Lan Ran's strength was far above Ye Xuan's.

【Note: This standard is for reference only; actual combat power is influenced by factors such as ability type, combat experience, bonuses from Heavens' Treasures, etc.

Currently, within the global scope, there are three known individuals at Tier Five (suspected); Tier Eight and above are merely theoretical deductions.】

"Tier Eight and above are merely theoretical deductions, so does this mean the definition for Elder Zhong, or rather Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun·Morax, is at Tier Seven?"

"Should I say this is appropriate or inappropriate?"

The true power of Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun had actually always been an unknown; even before the Qi Resurgence, there had been much discussion regarding his strength on the internet.

However, speaking only of manifest power, the majority opinion was that Morax's peak period was roughly at the City-Destroying Level; here, 'City-Destroying Level' refers to the strongest single strike or a basic attack being able to obliterate a city, not the kind that requires time to gradually destroy it.

But some people also believed Morax's strength lay between the Nation-Destroying and Continental Levels, and might even be greater in the real world.

The elemental power of Teyvat had limited their inherent strength.

Yet after the Qi Resurgence, perceptions changed; those who believed Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun's strength was at most City-Destroying Level vanished entirely, Nation-Destroying Level became the minimum, and Continental or even Surface Level became the mainstream view.

Hmm, Miha was the first to defect.

But looking at the document released by Great Xia now, has Morax's template in the real world truly had its upper limit raised? Reached Surface Level?

If Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun is like this, then will other characters in Genshin Impact also be like this?

As for the idea that Miha's modifications in reality caused Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun's strength to increase, Ye Xuan did not believe it; if such a thing were true, Emperor Emperor Yanwang Emperor Yanwang Di Jun's strength would not be merely Surface Level, but even higher.

Who doesn't know how to stack boxes?

Ye Xuan scrolled down the announcement and began reading the comments.

"The criteria for judging strength seem fine, but isn't the description after Tier Five a bit off? What does 'currently, only an extremely small number of existences within the global scope have reached this level' mean?"

"It means that besides Elder Zhong, there are others who have reached Tier Five?"

"Is this correct?"

One person opposing a nation is no problem, being a walking human mushroom cloud is no problem; all of this fits their impression of Elder Zhong, who obtained the Morax template.

But you're telling me there is more than just Elder Zhong who has reached Tier Five?

"It's noted later that there are supposedly three known individuals globally who have reached Tier Five? If there are two besides Elder Zhong, just tell us who they are."

"Did they also obtain templates of characters from the Heavens?"

"It couldn't possibly be that they cultivated to that level themselves, they aren't Huo Linfei."

Although it says 'suspected,' even if they aren't Tier Five, they must be at least Tier Four, otherwise it wouldn't cause misunderstanding; but the problem is, at this current point in time, when everyone is only Tier One or Tier Two, you suddenly have three Tier Fives appearing?

Sure, with billions of people globally, it's normal for a few to get lucky enough to seem like they have cheats.

But just tell us who the other two are.

Whether they obtained Heavens' Treasures with powerful amplification or character templates from the Heavens similar to Morax, just say it so we can prepare.

If nothing else, just tell us which country they are from; if they are from our Great Xia, then we wouldn't need to be nervous.

"This won't do, I must work hard at cultivation; I have absolutely no sense of security right now."

"Who isn't saying the same? Before, with Elder Zhong guarding us, we felt safe and worry-free no matter how the era changed, but now two more people comparable to Elder Zhong have appeared, and we don't even know which country they belong to; my whole heart is unsettled."

"My current strength is roughly at Tier Two; I originally thought this strength was already quite good, but indeed, compared to cultivating on one's own, obtaining Heavens' Treasures brings much faster improvement."

"But Heavens' Treasures aren't something you can find just by looking; I just hope the Qi Tide comes quickly; although it will drive other creatures to mutate, at least it can accelerate our cultivation speed, allowing us to catch up to those holders of Heavens' Treasures sooner."

"Speaking of which, is Bleach's combat power this exaggerated now? I checked the data and found that Ichigo Kurosaki's strength is directly Surface Level, while the Old Monk and Lan Ran are at least Continental Level; is this the setting? The manifest power in the anime and manga doesn't seem this exaggerated, one could even say the gap is quite large."
