Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 494 End of Volume·Ivy War

"Ivy Wars?"

Xia Xiu's face was full of doubts, and then he asked the question that went straight to the core, "Who defined this war?"

"This concept was originally proposed by the Edici Federation. I continued to improve along the points they proposed, and finally came up with the definition - Ivy War."

0-03 stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the holographic projection equipment in front of him that he had just adjusted. The outline of his palm appeared particularly clear in the faint light, and every movement showed precision and confidence. Immediately afterwards, he delicately pinched an image in the projection with his index finger and thumb, then gently pulled it and began to magnify the image.

"As you said before, the [Golden Tree] houses a 'beast', and the opponent's inner being is an abominable evil that tries to devour everything. That is also the essence of [Financial Street]; [World Tree] is similar to In the ordinary existence of Terra [Alaya], she always gives birth to gods, but the gods she gives birth to always exclude the human race.

Now, the Edici Federation has combined the two, and the financial evil has forcibly merged with the World Tree to form the [Golden Tree-Godhead]. This new existence has now gone from absolute rejection of humans to relative and periodic rejection of humans. According to the report issued by the Edici Federation, the Golden Tree and the Golden Royal Court each inherited the shortcomings of [Financial Street] and [World Tree]. "

“[Financial Street] operates through financial cycles, which are the natural fluctuations that financial circulation must go through, including the four stages of expansion, peak, recession and trough.

Expansion, the rising phase of the economic cycle, is characterized by increased economic activity, including growth in production, employment, and consumption. During this period, investment in extraordinary companies increased, and the credit conditions of the Twelve Federal Savings Banks in [Financial Street] were usually looser. Extraordinary people's confidence and spending increased, and they were willing to pay themselves more [future] in exchange for [now].

Then comes the peak, when expansion reaches its peak and economic activity reaches its maximum. During the peak period, there are usually phenomena such as increased inflationary pressure and increased resource utilization. According to current parlance, the so-called ‘economic overheating’ is prone to occur at this time.

Nowadays, many economists and financial risk controllers in Terra are arguing fiercely about whether the current economy is overheated. The debaters can be divided into the 'overheating' faction and the 'not overheating' faction. The 'overheating' faction also includes the 'global overheating' faction. and 'locally overheated' pies. "

0-03 While the hands-on operation is taking place, the conversation continues.

"What follows is the familiar recession. From the peak to the recession stage, economic activity begins to slow down, and production and capital growth slow down or even turn negative. The recession period is usually accompanied by individual extraordinary people and extraordinary enterprises overdrawing their future, investment reduction, [Financial The collapse of the streets means the emergence of "unemployed people" in large numbers.

These 'unemployed people' are not as simple as dying. They will gradually become 'financial ghosts' because they cannot repay their debts; and banks are facing great difficulties such as a large number of bad debts, falling asset values ​​and tight liquidity, and they may even go bankrupt. .

Finally came the low point.

It brings economic activity to its lowest point, but it is also a signal that the cycle is about to reverse. During the trough, the recession stops, paving the way for the next round of expansion.

Week after cycle, eternal reincarnation, this is [Financial Street]. "

As the holographic projection gradually shrank, Xia Xiu's eyes moved downwards, finally locking on the image showing the [Golden Tree]. In the picture, the lush branches and leaves of the [Golden Tree] gradually converge, revealing the mysterious realm at the bottom of the World Tree - [Utgard].

Here, far away from the sky, no daylight.

“We angels in heaven all like to call [Financial Street] – ‘the all-powerful holy machine that overdrafts the future’.

[Financial Street] The most basic gameplay is: according to the range from 1 to 100, you can overdraft at will - when your ability is 1, the most rational overdraft range should be 5; that 1 is your original capital. That 5 is an overdraft of healthy capital, because you can afford to repay this overdraft.

But humans are always greedy, and finance also collapses due to human greed.

Someone will definitely use 1 to overdraft 100, and someone will definitely try to collect more 1 to continue overdraft.

Someone will definitely find a way to transfer the 100 debt that should be paid by themselves to someone else.

Someone will definitely create a chain of countless 100s, swallow up all the 100s on the chain, and throw the debt to others.

There are definitely people who will continue to accumulate overdrafts, blow up bubbles, and cash out other people's 100.

The hell of others has nothing to do with me, and the collapse of others has nothing to do with me.

In the financial chain, financial evils continue to accumulate. Standing at the top of financial evils, those who have made great achievements look down on those who are desperate.

Losers cannot pay their overdrafts, despair and misery become demons, and the financial tide requires those who contract to pay off their debts to calm the tide; the fruitful top ignores them because they only need to pay their 'debts'.

If the wave of anger cannot be quelled, the power that essentially represents collapse will devour the existing concepts along the so-called causal line - the borrower's relatives, friends, fellow tribesmen, even the race, the entire country, and the entire civilization. "

In the dark [Utgard], the holographic image revealed a heart-stopping scene: countless miserable and terrifying ghosts crowded and entwined with each other in the darkness, forming a vast sea of ​​the undead. The wails and resentments from these innocent souls converge into the wind, blowing through every corner, making people feel a kind of coldness and despair that goes deep into their bones.

There is no trace of life here, only endless silence and coldness, and all souls are immersed in eternal pain.

"After [Financial Street] merged with [Yggdrasil], all the unemployed who failed to repay their loans were thrown into [Utgard], the country of the dead. Unless someone redeems them, they must Forever fighting for the Golden Tree, the gods of the Golden Court.”

0-03 The fingers are still enlarging.

In the waves of this sea of ​​the dead, stands a huge temple - [Hall of Valor].

In front of the hall stood a golden ash tree, and from the ceiling of the hall hung golden shields.

Various creatures live around [Hall of Valor], such as stags and goats.

There are also undead there, but their appearance is countless times better than the monsters in the terrifying wave outside.

"The shortcoming of [Yggdrasil] is the 'Twilight of the Gods', which happens to merge with the periodicity of [Financial Street], and forms the so-called cyclical crisis of the end of the world. It happens to merge with the financial cycle, resulting in A very interesting phenomenon has emerged, that is, the originally erratic doomsday can now be observed."

0-03 Zoom the image again, this time moving the image from the bottom to the top.

The towering golden tree stands in the center of the world, its branches and leaves shining with dazzling golden light, as if it absorbs all the brilliance between heaven and earth. This is not only a tree, but also a mysterious hub connecting nine worlds. Every leaf and every drop of dew contains endless wisdom and power.

Surrounded by the vast starry sky, the stars are dotted and the Milky Way stretches across, adding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to this golden tree.

Under these stars, stands a pure white palace - the "Silver Hall". It is made of countless pure white silver bricks. Each silver brick shines with a soft and holy luster, shining the surrounding golden light. The reflection is even more dazzling.

The white and silver hall is like frost and snow in the morning light, pure and flawless, exuding an inviolable sanctity.

The door of the hall is open, and the invisible force invites all onlookers to enter this mythical place.

Passing through the tall hallway, what comes into view is the "Supreme Throne" that exudes supreme majesty in the center of the hall.

This throne is made of the purest gold and silver, and is engraved with complex runes and totems. Each carving demonstrates supreme power and wisdom.

There is a bright broken golden halo suspended above the throne, which illuminates the throne and makes it look like a place where gods have descended.

In front of this throne, time and space seemed to slow down, all sounds were silent, and only soft light flowed in the air.

This is not only the core of the Golden Tree, but also the place where the order and destiny of the entire universe are controlled.

Standing here, you can feel the intersection of past, present and future, and hear the breathing and heartbeat of the deep universe.

"The golden ring standing on the Supreme Throne is now broken, but it longs for completeness - according to the cyclical law, the initial golden tree is expanding, and when the expansion is completed, the golden ring will be completed.

The ways to complete the Dharma Ring are - the boundary wedge of all realms, the faith and surrender of the people in the realm, the completion of the Golden Tree Law, and the contribution to financial circulation...

When the magic circle is completely completed, it will transform into the most powerful godhead.

Of course, you can also understand it as a [miracle].

Moreover, the Golden Tree gives more than that. Along with this [miracle] is: the godhood of the entire branch of the gods, a huge plane, the qualifications of the supreme commander of the Golden Court, the authority of the Supreme Seat... "

"And the most interesting thing is that this [miracle] and generosity belong to all realms, and the [Golden Tree] promulgates the "Ivy Law" to the outside world.

Specifically, this method can be understood as - artificially detonating the periodic crisis that should have occurred, that is, using the law to limit the war between the worlds that could have triggered the end of the Golden Tree. This law has the greatest restrictions on those high-stage extraordinary beings. If other external groups want to enter, they must also be recognized by the Golden Tree. "

These two laws are too targeted, and they are obviously directly aimed at the Kingdom of Heaven.

Students from the two houses of Heavenly Kingdom were obviously excluded.

"According to outsiders, the war induced by the Ivy Law is essentially a combination of divine agent war, alien war, secret sect war, academy war, and world war.

You can start a war and seize the Wedge;

You can evolve peacefully and capture faith;

You can set up a secret religion and establish a complete path to complete the ascension of the divine system;

You can research academics and advance rule completion;

You can run companies and facilitate financial flows.

Everyone who wants to complete the Golden Ring can choose one or more of the war routes to advance.

The settlement method of the war is calculated based on the overall value of route completion - among all routes, whoever has the highest completion rate and has not been killed at the time of settlement is the winner.

This is an absolute and irreconcilable zero-sum game - the sum of the interests among all game participants is a fixed value, and the benefits (or losses) gained by one player are entirely determined by the benefits (or losses) of another player or multiple players. Loss (or reduced profit) to compensate - and no matter who the winner is, the [Golden Tree] itself will never lose. "

"Hugh Abraham, whoever becomes the winner of this war will surely reach the top of the miracle and become a saint in the eyes of the world."

After hearing 0-03's words, the blond young man couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the vacant "Supreme Throne".

Now he naturally understands that he asked himself whether he wanted to be the principal before 0-03.

It seems that the Kingdom of Heaven has found a loophole, stuck the bug of "Ivy Rules", and found a way to build a school inside the [Golden Tree].

The [Kingdom Domain] in his [Crown] has completed one-third of the domain structure, and there are still two-thirds of the domain structure that needs to be completed.

Although there is still a long way to go before [miracle], it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day.

As the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, Xia Xiu had already inquired about the various steps and requirements for climbing to the top [Miracle] through his own authority.

After the [Kingdom Realm] of the Crown Stage, there is the [Essential Realm].

The so-called [Essence] is the most essential existence in the world. There is only one focus that constitutes this field, and that is - [Miracle Wedge].

Ordinary extraordinary beings who reach this realm can choose to miraculously transform the [Essential Prototype] produced during their [Authority Realm], or turn a creation that symbolizes [miracle] into their own wedge.

Of course, most people choose to have it all, because if they don’t want it all, it won’t be a miracle.

When the wedge is fused, it means that the extraordinary person begins to move towards a miracle.

Next, they need to meet some specific conditions and a special process. This process is called the "canonization ceremony."

The process is generally divided into four stages, each stage has its own special name.

The first stage: self-denial.

Through the wedge, the self-denying ones begin to move toward great spirituality. They will be the first to enter the seven levels of solitude and begin to try to penetrate the seven levels of ether.

Second stage: His Holiness.

After experiencing the seven levels of loneliness, the world has become a dream-like existence in the eyes of the venerable, and they begin to have the authority unique to the miracle itself - [World Bubble].

The third stage: Blessed Ones/Holy Ones/Genealogical Defenders/Rulers…

This stage has different names among various lineages and extraordinary beings, because at this stage, the most important thing about miracles is to declare miracles.

This stage usually requires proving at least one miracle. This miracle must be recognized by [Ether Ocean], have a huge impact on the world, and be considered to be the result of its single-handed leadership.

This stage can be called the declaration of beatitude, declaration of holiness, declaration of lineage defenders, declaration of dominion...

These vary from person to person, and this is the meaning for miracle workers to declare their existence to the world.

Most major forces will rely on the stock of the lineage itself to issue lineage guardian declarations. This is the case in the [Solar Period] of Iberia, which is why it is difficult for them to have a reset number [miracle].

The only thing that is the same in this stage is that everyone who completes this stage will start to construct their own - high-orbit world cannon, low-orbit world cannon, low-orbit ion cannon...

These cannons carry [World Bubbles] that miraculously change the world.

Finally, the fourth stage – miracles on earth.

Extraordinaries at this stage usually need to prove a second miracle. This miracle does not have to be greater than the first miracle. It just symbolizes the replicability of the miracle.

This is the reason why both the [original proof prototype] and the [miracle wedge] mentioned above are necessary. The first miracle is completed through the [miracle wedge], and when entering the final stage, the miracle transformed by the [original proof prototype] The transformation has been completed, and the second miracle has been naturally announced.

Before the crisis [the Seventy-two Hours Incident] broke out, the 0-13 who decided on the meeting were a ‘self-sacrifice’.

Many angels in heaven suspected that the main reason for his fall was that he was deceived by the four monarchs when he entered the seventh level of loneliness. Although he may have finally overcome the seven levels of loneliness on the surface, he did not overcome the [intrinsic] loneliness. Yes, and it is extremely possible that he was corrupted by the chaos in the ether.

The coronation of the Four Monarchs and the Red King, one-third of the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven, the wreckage of Financial Street—this was his first miracle announcement.

After that, his second announcement was that of the Messiah (genealogy).

The president of the Mayflower Foundation reached the top of the miracle and took advantage of the financial wave of [Financial Street] to transfer and merge with [World Tree] to declare the first miracle.

Then, the new world constructed by the reborn [Golden Tree] was his second miracle announcement.

The scale of Miracle Declaration is better to be lacking than excessive, because Miracle Declaration represents the slot, quality, and scale of the wedge that [Miracle Maker] itself can fuse.

The power of [Miracle Blessing] is already comparable to that of divinity.

Saint Valentine, the greatest swordsman in the Kingdom of Heaven, was known to the world as possessing more than one [Miracle Wedge] representing destiny.

Xia Xiu had seen one of Mu's Miracle Wedges - "Miracle Sea of ​​Glass" when he was at [Spiral Road] before.

He can be sure that Mu, as the defender of the Kingdom of Heaven, definitely has more than one wedge.

If Xia Xiu participates in the Ivy War, there is no doubt that the winner of the war will be a declaration in itself.

Moreover, he can use the Ivy War as his main resolution.

"Where is the school? How many students are there? What about the teaching resources?" Xia Xiu fired three consecutive questions.

0-03 showed a mysterious smile at the blond young man. He stood up, patted the other man on the shoulder, and said seriously:

"Well, you have to go to the Edici Federation to have a look.

Moreover, don’t forget your identity as the second-in-command of the Administration. The current headquarters of the Administration is located in the Edici Federation, and the main business of the Administration is also there.

Most of the current reserve decision-makers of the Kingdom of Heaven are also gathered in the Edici Federation. The representatives of the decision-making meeting and even themselves are also there. Don’t forget that you are also in the stage of competition for candidates for the decision-making meeting. Some of the decisions need to be handed over by you. Plans, some require you to order them yourself.

Don’t forget to advance the five-year plan, and you must read Eden’s instructions regularly. You, the fourth sword holder in heaven, are still hanging..."

Looking at the blond young man's increasingly serious expression, 0-03 said slowly:

"There is still a long way to go."
