Chapter 1119: Strive to Level Up! [7 More]
After a while, Da Bai began to explain the origin of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
In the setting of "Myriad Heavens", the Nine-Tailed Fox is a rather powerful branch of the primeval beast lineage; each time one cultivates and breaks through a realm, an additional tail grows.
Lower God has one tail, Middle God two tails, Upper God three tails, God Sovereign realm adds three more tails, God King realm has two tails.
An eight-tailed fox is a peak God King, very formidable.
Once the ninth tail grows, entering the Ancestral God realm, it's basically hard to die.
Legend says that in ancient times, each tail of the Nine-Tailed Fox beast represented a life. But that's just a rumor; actually their tails store magical power, and upon reaching the nine-tailed realm, their power is nearly limitless, ten times that of an ordinary person, making them extremely hard to deal with!
This lineage of strange beasts still exists to this day and holds a high status.
It is said that among the Eight Beast Gods of the savage beast tribe in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, one is a Nine-Tailed Fox.
But each of the Eight Beast Gods is a Venerable-level powerhouse, stronger than an Ancestral God; ordinary people aren't even qualified to see them, so naturally no one knows where that Nine-Tailed Fox Beast God resides.
Xiao Feng suspected that the Nine-Tailed Fox he killed might have come from the Myriad Heavens Battlefield into the Primeval World.
Because other bosses here don't speak; they're like mute dummies, only using simple skills.
But the Nine-Tailed Fox can not only communicate with people, but also adapt to circumstances, judge the situation, run when needed—clearly possessing independent thought and wisdom.
At first he thought this was because the Nine-Tailed Fox's rank was high.
But upon reflection, that doesn't seem right—would a God King-level boss have a low realm?
A God King is a regional overlord; in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield they can be called an extremely powerful boss, and ordinary players might not be able to defeat one even within three years of a server launch.
How could such a powerhouse possibly not be able to speak?
Perhaps.
The Primeval World is merely an event-exclusive world; those primeval monsters are just temporarily generated puppet monsters, unlike the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, which has evolved over endless ages, slowly growing into true living beings.
That's why they are all rather dull, unaware of fleeing, and unable to speak to communicate.
The Primeval Holy Whale and Primeval Flood Dragon are such creatures.
And the Primeval Nine-Tailed Fox is completely different from them!
Precisely because of this, plus what it said before dying, Xiao Feng feels that this Nine-Tailed Fox might have come from the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, or some other world, into the Primeval World!
Even, the "mother" it spoke of might very well be that Nine-Tailed Fox Beast God among the Eight Beast Gods!
The special item dropped by the Nine-Tailed Fox, 【Celestial Fox Blood Jade】, should be a proof of its identity; when the time comes, go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield to look for it, and if you encounter a Venerable-level Nine-Tailed Fox Beast God, take it out and compare—then you'll understand.
Well... the risk is relatively high; there's a chance of getting killed!
While speaking, everyone had already been flying in the air for a long distance.
"Are the bosses in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield really this strong... When will we be able to fight a level 2000 boss?"
After hearing Da Bai's explanation, the teammates felt both longing and apprehension.
Level 2000—that realm is too far away.
Now the leveling speed is getting slower and slower; even reaching level 500 is uncertain how long it will take, and challenging a level 2000 boss likely requires at least a team of level 1500 players.
That would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Month of the Horse?
Xiao Feng said: "The HP unit of a Venerable-level boss is 10^24, which is the square of 10^16 and the fourth power of 10^8. I estimate that as we go later, the growth multiplier of attributes will become even more exaggerated; even with my Ten Thousand Times talent, later on I might only be able to kill enemies by crossing one realm, incomparable to now. So, don't think about fighting such bosses; just consider aiming for a God King instead."
The game's data changes are not calculated by a fixed gradient increment; at low levels, each level-up grants only 2 potential points, plus 1 free growth point.
After becoming a god, each level automatically increases all attributes by 50 and gives 100 potential points; this gradient is obviously much higher.
In the later stages, the power gap between each major realm is calculated in tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of times.
At that point, trying to kill a boss by crossing realms is simply a pipe dream!
When Xiao Feng previously encountered the Xuan Butterfly Demon Emperor, he had already deeply felt the terror of a Venerable-level boss.
The length of that health bar's numbers was so long he couldn't even remember them!
"We probably have no chance to reach that realm, but Old Xiao's talent is good; he should be able to do it." Zhang Fan sighed.
"Just level up slowly; we'll eventually get there." Xiao Feng comforted.
Zhang Fan slightly shook his head: "From the 【Ancestral God's Blood】 one can see that ordinary players, after their level growth reaches a certain realm, will encounter a bottleneck and be unable to break through. The higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of breaking through. Some realms are definitely unreachable for the vast majority of people; otherwise, in the future there would be hundreds of millions of level 2000 players, and this world would likely be shattered."
The crowd slightly nodded, feeling that this made sense.
Zhang Fan continued: "Just like our world, with civilians, the rich, officials, soldiers, and various other professions, it forms a complete society. The game world merely reclassifies these professions using data, making it more three-dimensional. Over time, some will stop at level 250, some at level 500, a few will become God Kings, Ancestral Gods, even Venerables. Everyone's potential differs; eventually it will resemble real society, forming a robust power-based virtual society."
Population is like a pyramid; if everyone reached level 2000, the pyramid would mostly collapse.
The bottom layer is large, the middle small, the top smallest—this structure is most reasonable.
But……
Then how is this "potential" determined?
Who stipulates that a person must be a low-level player?
Who stipulates that the Venerable realm cannot be reached?
Actually, these are not set in stone!
Some extremely rare treasures can enhance a player's aptitude, assisting in realm breakthroughs.
Personal effort can also change the outlook!
Just as in reality, those who put in enough effort will surely reap rewards; even if they cannot cross class boundaries, at least in their own field they can achieve decent results.
If one cannot reach Venerable, then strive for Ancestral God!
If Ancestral God is also unattainable, then compete for a God King to clang clang!
One can't possibly stay at the ordinary God level forever, unable to even cross the threshold of God Sovereign, right?
While speaking, Xiao Feng and the others arrived at a desert region.
At that moment, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
According to the treasure map's indications, after crossing this desert, one can reach the Nine-Tailed Fox's treasure site.
"I wonder what good stuff we could dig up..."
Xiao Feng looked forward to it in his heart.
At that moment, a loud boom suddenly came from afar, as if a great explosion had occurred in the desert.
Immediately after, a red light shot up into the sky, piercing Ti Qiong and illuminating the dawn Tian Kong!
Seeing this light, everyone was startled.
"Mythic-level treasure, this truly is a mythic-level treasure!" Dun Dun exclaimed.
Before, the Withering Capital also emitted red light, making them think a treasure had appeared.
But when they arrived, it turned out to be a great battle.
Now, this red light is strikingly conspicuous, utterly incomparable to the ambiguous light of a fire explosion.
The true mythic-level ancient treasure has finally appeared!
