Chapter 89 - 89 Overlord
89 Overlord
“After an awakener reaches Tier 9, the next level up is the overlord realm. Those who reach the overlord realm are no longer called awakeners, but are collectively called overlords.”
“This name was given by the awakeners from the West. It meant that one had a significant position as an awakener and hence could be called the overlord of a territory.”
“After reaching the overlord realm, the energy intensity of the ability and the degree of understanding of the ability’s law reaches a qualitative change.”
“An overlord could easily suppress the abilities of awakeners of the same element and also give awakeners of the same element a certain amount of power.”
“The Flame Messenger Brian that you killed earlier was the apostle of the Flame Overlord William.”
“As an overlord with fire-type abilities, William is able to suppress the fire-type awakeners’ abilities.”
“He could also give his fire energy to his apostle and help him obtain powerful abilities.”
“Of course, if the bestowment frequency is too high, it will harm the overlord’s own strength.”
Hu Changjun touched the jade box in his hand and muttered, “No matter what, the difference in strength between an overlord and an awakener is like the difference between heaven and earth.”
“Moreover, after reaching the overlord realm, one is even immune to nuclear attacks, and the country would have almost no deterrent to the overlords.”
“Although there was no actual evidence, according to the research of awakener scholars, the lifespans of overlords could be as long as 1000 years. They are truly long-lived species.”
“And this S-Class spiritual crystal is an essential item for a Tier 9 awakener to break through to the overlord realm.”
Hearing such a secret, Ning Shi immediately thought of the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition and could not help but ask, “In the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition held in January next year, there will definitely be overlords from the MieIn Federation and Kingdom of Mies who will bestow new awakeners abilities, right?”
“There should be overlords in our country, would they do this?”
Hu Changjun shook his head dejectedly and said, “The energy level of an overlord is very high, and they usually bestow it to Tier 7 awakeners and above.”
“If they grant power to newly awakened people, they won’t be able to withstand the intense energy and would likely end up either dead or injured.”
“Only a small number of lucky people could survive it and their strength would, of course, improve by leaps and bounds.”
“The ratio of newbies withstanding the power bestowment might not even be one in a thousand. We can’t do such a thing.”
“There would definitely be participants who successfully received power from the overlord in foreign countries. These people were estimated to be at least Tier 6 awakeners.”
“A newbie who’s only been cultivating for four months and has reached Tier 6. Our contestants are simply no match for them.”
“In this competition, the MieIn Federation and the Kingdom of Mies will definitely get the top two places. Our goal is to secure a position in top four and compete for the top three.”
“As for the international opinions saying that Yunmeng citizens are not suitable for cultivation and that it is a waste for us to take the awakening potion, we can only tolerate these comments for the time being.”
“We need time to digest the wealth from the awakening potion and the resources from the insect world.”
“After all, the time our country has come into contact with awakeners is 18 years behind that of MieIn and Mies.”
“In these 18 years, not only did our cultivation time lag behind, but our cultivation resources had also been seized on a large scale.”
“In the past, we might have unknowingly sold our precious spiritual crystals as ordinary minerals to foreign countries.”
Ning Shi’s expression was grave. In 18 years, Miein and Mies might have swept a large number of cultivation resources around the world, and the number and quality of their awakeners were leading the world.
“It seems that I have to strengthen the training of my disciples!”
Ning Shi thought to himself that he would never accept to only compete for the third and fourth places in this competition. He had to show the strength of Yunmeng Kingdom and shut the foul mouths of the foreigners with his strength.
Hu Changjun looked at Ning Shi and smiled.
“We’re getting off topic. This S-level spiritual crystal can be exchanged for 5000 merit points, and the right to exchange for it can only be obtained after the overlords discuss.”
“As long as you have enough merit points, you can come and exchange for this spiritual crystal at any time.”
Hu Changjun had been in management work for half his life, so he cherished talents very much. He sincerely planned for Ning Shi.
“Xiao Ning, I hit it off with you, so I’m just saying some things even though we don’t know each other well yet. If I’m wrong, please don’t mind.”
“There are two paths you can take in the future.”
“If you want to work in the government, you can first work as a principal for three to five years. After you have established a solid foundation in the awakener school system, you can then transfer to the government department and take up a leadership position.”
“Your career as a principal will be of great help to you in your official work.”
“If you’re not interested in becoming a government official, you can also take the path of enhancing your personal strength.”
“With your current age and strength, it won’t be a problem for you to become a Tier 9 awakener after a period of dedicated cultivation.”
“After that, you can use S-level spiritual crystals to break through the shackles and become a overlord.”
“Of course, one S-level spiritual crystal might not necessarily help you break through. I promise that as long as you work hard, you will receive at least three S-level spiritual crystals in the future.”
“Of course, you can also choose to take both paths at the same time.”
Looking at Hu Changjun’s sincere eyes, Ning Shi was really touched.
The style of the older generation of leaders was vividly displayed by him.
The old leaders would always sincerely help the young and plan the development path for the young. However, the new generation of leaders who were helped by the older generation seem to be gradually losing this good tradition.
Many people no longer cared about the thoughts and future of young people. They only cared about whether their performance or KPI was good or not.
Young people had become the screws of society. While they worked hard, they had to be careful not to let their leaders take away the fruits of their labor.
This might be the pain brought about by the rapid development of society.
“Minister Hu, thank you…”
Just as Ning Shi was about to express his thanks, Hu Changjun waved his hand and interrupted him, “I have two great pleasures in life. One is cooking. I’m happy when I see other people eating the food I’ve made with a satisfied face.”
“The other is to help the country cultivate useful talents. You are upright and have great potential. If we don’t spend resources on you, it will be a loss for the country.”
“You still don’t know your potential, so I’ll explain it to you in detail.”
“Although the Saturn world is vast, there is a limit or a total for all kinds of energy.”
“For example, if the world’s fire energy was quantified to be 100 points, the number of fire energy points that could be mastered by transcendent people might be 50.”
“The more fire element overlords there were, the more dispersed the 50 points of energy would be, and the more difficult it would be for the fire element overlords to cultivate.”
“Research had shown that, of all abilities, the first person to become a overlord would have the fastest cultivation speed. If a second overlord emerges, the first overlord’s cultivation speed would become slower.”
“From this point of view, overlords of the same element are natural enemies.”
Ning Shi instantly understood that under the situation where the total energy was fixed, the more overlords there were, the slower the cultivation speed and the longer the cultivation time.
Wasn’t this inner competition?
It seemed that even the transcendent world could not escape the fate of inner competition.
“As the only Tier 8 strength-type awakener, your strength is far beyond that of others. The moment you become a overlord, you will be able to enjoy the strength-type energy for a long period of time.”
This period of time will be enough for you to accumulate enough experience to even become the strongest overlord.”
Hu Changjun put the jade box back into the track and put the S-Class spiritual crystals back into the secret warehouse.
“There are only six overlords in our country at the moment. Whether it’s in terms of numbers or strength, we can’t compare to the MieIn Federation or the Kingdom of Mies. Fortunately, we are united, while the foreign overlords are constantly fighting.”
“Only in this situation can we gain a foothold in the transcendent world.”
“You’re the potential seed that I think highly of. Now that disasters are happening everywhere, the world is in chaos.”
“In troubled times, there will always be a large number of heroes and geniuses emerging. Scientist H is one of them, and so are you.”
“If I give you any resources, you should accept them with a clear mind. This is for the community, for the country, and not for selfish reasons.”
With that, Hu Changjun handed the Thunder Larva Saber and the insect brain ill to Ning Shi.
“These two items are my meeting gift to you. I’ve already paid for them using the merit points from my account.”
“When your strength reaches the ninth Tier, with the merit points you’ve accumulated as a principal and an advisor, you won’t have a big shortage to exchange for the S-level spiritual crystal.”
Ning Shi did not decline and accepted Hu Changjun’s gift.
The two of them walked out of the secret warehouse. Hu Changjun was busy with work, so he took his leave.
“I still have things to deal with. Xiao Yun, accompany Xiao Ning back to the hotel to rest. The meeting in the afternoon will be held at the hotel.”
“By the way, Xiao Ning, if you’re confident, you can find time to take a look at the insect world boundary and the inside of the insect world to broaden your horizons.”
After that, Hu Changjun drove away.
Ning Shi’s heart skiped a beat. Now that he had the super physique talent and the war insect armor, his defense was unparalleled. It was probably not dangerous to go to the insect world. He should indeed find an opportunity to go deep into the insect world to understand the situation.
Furthermore, the ultimate mission of the game was to enter the world of Moen with his main body and retrieve his avatar. He also had to find the boundary of the world of Moen.
It was necessary to get familiar with the world boundaries.
However, this was not urgent. The most important thing now was to return to the hotel and drink the perfect awakening potion.
“What kind of special ability will I get?”
