Chapter 378: Grading the Boundless Ten Thousand Gods

The Demon Star Order had already made the prompt incredibly clear; by accepting the unique quest [Lord of the Demon Star], the impact on Li Yu would extend far beyond himself.

Once this quest is initiated!

The entire Boundless Spirit Realm might become thoroughly lively as a result.

Because the gods will be able to intervene in the "Demon Star Order," planting their own chess pieces within it in pursuit of a position as a sovereign.

The large-scale distribution of Order Master qualifications does not refer to distribution in the current world.

Rather, it is distributed across the entire Boundless Spirit Realm, and they are all powerful believers, kin, or god-chosen under the gods, or some other extraordinary existences... these Order Masters will compete on the same stage.

As the initiator, Li Yu is now the only one who possesses legendary status.

Without a doubt, he will surely be the target of everyone.

If Li Yu refuses, regardless of whether the Demon Star Order has the ability to erase this memory of his, this "Great Competition" will not exist and will be postponed until the next Order Master who gains legendary status and triggers the unique quest appears.

This day will not be long in coming.

Since that is the case, why can it not be him, Li Yu?

At the very least, by initiating it himself, he can seize the initiative.

This is one of the reasons Li Yu chose to accept.

The benefits of making the right choice, he began to enjoy the very next moment.

"Order Master of the Calamity Star accepts the [Lord of the Demon Star] quest; current legendary status is one percent."

"All functions and permissions of the Demon Star Order are being unlocked..."

Accompanied by this prompt sound.

Li Yu’s mind felt as if it had "boomed" and exploded.

Immediately, he had a sensation he had never experienced before.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into the Demon Star Order itself; he felt as if he were constantly undergoing ascension through the multiverse and higher dimensions, as if he had already become the Lord of the Demon Star, becoming a supreme divine entity. In the blur, he saw countless universes and planes, and saw clusters upon clusters of endless, brilliant radiance that could not be looked at directly.

Each cluster of radiance represented a divine entity.

While he was "gazing" at them.

He, too, was being peered at by them.

It was just that the gaze of all gods was blocked and shielded by the Demon Star Order.

Li Yu realized: this was one of the perks of becoming a "candidate for Lord of the Demon Star."

This kind of ascension was naturally fake, a kind of illusion.

But in the process, he also gained some benefits.

For example, he saw a massive group of gods, looked at them across the Demon Star Order, and even peered at the gods to a certain extent through the "authority" of the Demon Star Order to invade the boundless heavens.

This also caused Li Yu, who possesses a Truth Soul Body, to have a flash of inspiration at this moment, unexpectedly completing a vague classification of the gods.

That’s right!

Li Yu did something incredibly blasphemous, yet something no one could hold him accountable for.

He classified and graded the so-called great gods.

If he were a powerful god with the ability to roam all parts of the Boundless Spirit Realm, such as "Ten Thousand Changes," "The Furnace," or the "Lord of the Veil," and so on.

Then, grading would just be grading.

It is likely that for a god like the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes, there indeed exists a set of standards for the strength of the gods.

But Li Yu is merely an extraordinary who has barely touched the legendary level.

By what right does he have the qualifications to judge and grade the gods?

Of course, no matter how blasphemous, no one could stop these thoughts from arising in him at this moment:

"These countless gods of the Boundless Spirit Realm."

"Looking at the strength of their divinity, they can perhaps be roughly divided into several levels: Demigod, God-Spawn, Weak God, Ordinary God, Powerful God, and Sovereign God."

"Demigods and God-Spawns need not be mentioned; they are counted as powerful beings possessing divinity."

"Weak Gods are considered to have officially started; entities such as the [Earth Spirit God] are weak entities possessing divinity. This type of god occupies the majority among divine entities in the Boundless Spirit Realm, and they are usually the masters of a certain planet or small world."

"Ordinary Gods are entities such as the [Witch], [Cold God], and [Love God]."

"Previously, Weak Gods and Ordinary Gods were collectively referred to as secondary gods in the concepts of other extraordinary beings; now it seems there is still some difference."

"As for Powerful Divinity?"

"This is another extremely vast group. Originally, there was probably no standard, but now perhaps I can establish one."

"Possessing one's own Divine Kingdom, subsidiary gods, kin, more than one authority, or an authority that is heaven-defying to an extremely powerful degree... and add one more: being able to derive a path to godhood."

"Including the [Abyssal God], [Doomsday Rat God], [Vortex God], [Child of Hunger], [Hanging King], [Spider Queen], etc., are all in this category."

"And Sovereign-level divine entities?"

"On the basis of Powerful Divinity, add a few more criteria: possessing one's own faction, an extremely vast Divine Kingdom, believers spread throughout the Boundless Spirit Realm, and already being a 'synonym' for a certain authority, such as the [Lord of the Veil], [Lord of Ten Thousand Changes], [Blood God], [Ancient Saint], [Mother of Eternity], [Lord of the Furnace], [Lord of Judgment], etc."

"There is a widespread common knowledge in the Boundless Spirit Realm that the gods have a first tier, and the gods in this tier are all Sovereign-level existences."

"In addition, there are many special divine entities that hover between Powerful and Sovereign levels."

"Perhaps they do not meet the standards, but they are definitely stronger than Powerful Divinity. If they really fought or a conflict arose, they might not be weaker than a Sovereign, and might even gain the upper hand."

"The most typical are the [Toad God], [Spirit Venerable], and [Foolish God]."

When Li Yu’s thoughts reached this point, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Nothing else!

It was that he thought of another extremely special group of gods.

The Six Great Orthodox Gods!

If one were to apply the standards Li Yu had just established, these six could only be counted as Powerful Divinity.

But without a doubt, each of them is more powerful than true gods like the Abyssal God, Rat God, or Hanging King.

Like Haotian!

He even has a clear combat record; he fought the Blood God head-on and did not fall behind. One must know that the latter is already considered a synonym for authorities like "Slaughter" and "War," and his terrifying reputation resounds throughout the Boundless Spirit Realm.

Fortunately, Li Yu’s knowledge is truly vast now, and he soon reached a new definition:

"Those six should be counted as reserves for Sovereign-level gods."

"If they had entered the Boundless Spirit Realm together with the Ancient Saints, Ten Thousand Changes, and Blood Gods during the Primordial Era, then they should be able to dominate the Boundless Spirit Realm now, with believers spread throughout the multiverse."

"But for some purpose, they all stayed in the current world."

"Strictly speaking, they are not yet Sovereign-level... if a Divine Kingdom war broke out, one-on-one, these six would be surrounded and killed."

"But the current world is guarded by them like an iron bucket, and other Sovereigns can do nothing about it."

"However, if the Demon Star Order and Reincarnation Order’s pollution and expansion in the Boundless Spirit Realm go smoothly, and their path sequences are spread... perhaps a million years later, six new Sovereigns will be born together."

"Tsk tsk!"

"The Boundless Spirit Realm!"

"A chaotic war of ten thousand gods!"

"My mere Sequence Four is indeed still not enough to look at."

Just as Li Yu was sighing, a change that surprised him occurred.

At his eye membrane, that twenty-sixth truth bubble suddenly twitched. After the familiar billions of radiance flickered, this bubble, which Li Yu thought would take a long time to complete, was now fully charged, and Li Yu’s reliance increased by one.

Li Yu was first stunned, then had an epiphany.

Grading the gods was not the key.

The ascension perk given by the Demon Star Order, which allowed him to gain insight into the "ten thousand gods" in the process, was the reason for the full charge.

Clearly, this was a secret with a high grading judgment.

The twenty-seventh truth bubble, with a volume and radiance intensity much greater than before, burst forth, and immediately had a portion of progress, which can prove this point.

It is a pity.

This joy, Li Yu cannot share for the time being.

He graded the gods and even provided detailed standards; this matter cannot be leaked.

He, a Sequence Four, is still too weak.

Even if his achievements are already not low.

The title "Demon of Reform" he just obtained was even snatched by trampling on the followers of the Chaos Gods.

Not to mention that he also obtained one percent legendary status and triggered the Lord of the Demon Star quest.

But it is still not authoritative enough.

Once leaked, he would be troubled by who knows how many gods and their followers.

When he ascends to Spirit Venerable in the future, his voice will be authoritative enough.

And as a [Spirit Venerable], he is definitely not afraid of drawing hatred; that is what a fun-loving god does.

"Speaking of which, above the Sovereign level, there should still exist a level."

"Such as the Veil, Ancient Saints, Blood God... and even the Spirit Venerable."

"What they are doing seems to be plotting to ascend to that place...?"

Just as Li Yu was about to fall into new doubts.

The Demon Star Order’s ascension perk suddenly ended.

As soon as his soul returned, other benefits began to pour in.

This wonderful divine artifact forged by the gods is being completely unsealed.

Many functions and permissions that Li Yu had not heard of or used before began to brew and generate one after another.

In this process, Li Yu gained many perceptions and even saw some benefits he could take but had not yet gone to take.

For instance, the strange domain he had yet to leave: the Long Chao Star System.

He had already completed two major main quests!

He had helped the Demon Star Order establish a large number of space-time anchors, thoroughly conquering this star system.

Although quite a few "hidden dangers" remained.

For example, the rebellions on those various planets that had not yet completely ended, the three demigods—the Mad King, the Warmaster, and the Pope—and even the Lord of Judgment whom Li Yu had not yet sent away, all counted as obstacles and hidden dangers.

But in reality, none of these would affect the ending anymore.

The Demon Star Order now ruled this star system.

Unless those three demigods could find a way to summon the true forms of the All-Changing, the Blood God, and the Sin God, or at least the majority of their divine power, they would be unable to seize the entire star system from the Demon Star Order; none of the three could afford that price.

Of course, the Demon Star Order's progress in taking over the star system also required time to complete.

It might be half a year, it might be ten years, or even longer.

"Hmm?"

"Unless I continue to linger and complete those hidden side quests one by one, I can accelerate the Demon Star Order's takeover progress."

"Other Order Masters need to expend great effort exploring and triggering hidden side quests, but I do not—at least, not at this moment."

As Li Yu pondered, some secret information suddenly emerged within his heart and soul.

PS: There is more to come.
