63: Chapter 63 Calamity of the Divine Kingdom!
"Hum."
Accompanied by a slight spatial fluctuation from the teleportation array, the figure of Lin Yunfei appeared right on time outside the door of Class A-1 Tiered Classroom at the Creator Academy.
It was still ten minutes before class, but the circular tiered classroom, which could easily accommodate over a thousand people, was already packed to capacity.
An indescribable sense of heaviness and tension permeated the air.
With the regional grand competition imminent, this concerned not only the future resource allocation of every elite student, but also whether they could enter the sights of those top-tier major powers.
Everyone attending today's impromptu tutoring session consisted of the absolute top elites within the academy.
Lin Yunfei pulled down the hood on his head without making a fuss, and walked straight to a secluded corner in the back row of the classroom to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, the class bell rang out with a boom.
On the light-and-shadow podium at the front of the classroom, space twisted slightly, and an old man with a full head of silver hair and dark golden robes appeared out of thin air.
The old man had a lean and refined face, but his pair of eyes were as sharp as a falcon's.
Standing there casually, an invisible law pressure swept across the entire venue like a tide, and the previously somewhat noisy classroom instantly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
"It's Elder Mo!"
"Elder Mo is actually coming to give us a tutoring session in person? He is the most senior divine kingdom theory master in the academy!"
Several students in the front row couldn't help lowering their voices in exclamation, their eyes filled with awe.
Lin Yunfei also straightened his body slightly.
He had naturally heard of Elder Mo's reputation; this old man's research on the evolution of divine kingdom laws enjoyed great renown throughout the entire federation.
"Quiet down."
Elder Mo's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying a penetrating force that struck straight at the soul.
"There is less than a month left before the regional grand competition.
I know that all of you present have already polished your divine kingdoms to the Tier 1 peak, and are making final preparations to break through to Tier 2."
Elder Mo kept his hands behind his back, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire audience.
"The conventional divine kingdom advancement routes are nothing more than the mutual generation of the Five Elements, the alternation of light and darkness, or forcibly deducing laws by relying on the massive power of faith from dependents.
These basic things have long since been beaten to death in regular theory classes, and today this old man won't say a single extra word about them."
"Today, this old man is going to tell you about an extremely niche route within a niche, and also the most dangerous and desperate path in the Creator system."
Elder Mo paused, his tone turning incomparably chilling.
"Calamity Divine Kingdom!"
As soon as these words came out, gasps of cold air immediately resounded throughout the large tiered classroom.
Many students looked at each other in dismay, even revealing a trace of fear in their eyes.
Lin Yunfei's eyes, however, suddenly lit up, his mind instantly focusing intensely.
It's here!
This is the knowledge he needed to understand most urgently right now!
"The so-called Calamity Divine Kingdom..."
Elder Mo turned around, his withered fingers quickly sketching in the void.
Soon, a divine kingdom projection filled with a destructive aura appeared before everyone.
Within that projection, raging fires burned the heavens, poisonous miasma permeated the air, and weak water poured backward—it was simply a living hell.
"Some idiots who boast of being geniuses, in order to pursue absolute invincibility within the same tier during the Tier 1 period, will forcibly introduce ultra-conventional destructive laws at the initial creation of their divine kingdom.
For example, Netherworld Earth Fire, Nine Nether Dark Wind, or even the legendary xuanming heavy water!"
Hearing the four words "xuanming heavy water", Lin Yunfei touched his nose and thought to himself: Elder Mo, you might as well just read out my ID number directly.
Elder Mo gave a cold hum and continued:
"Undeniably, introducing these calamity laws can allow you to possess terrifying combat strength capable of crushing the same level during Tier 1.
While other people's dependents are still beating each other with wooden sticks, your divine kingdom directly brings down natural disasters.
Within the same tier, who can block it?"
"However!"
Elder Mo's volume suddenly rose sharply, like a heavy hammer smashing into everyone's heart.
"This kind of behavior is no different from quenching thirst with poisoned wine!"
"The core of a divine kingdom stepping from Tier 1 to Tier 2 lies in 'creation' and 'expansion', which requires a stable foundation of endless vitality.
Yet calamity laws instead represent 'destruction'!"
"When you attempt to impact Tier 2, the divine kingdom barriers expand, and the laws undergo a qualitative change.
Those calamity powers that were originally barely suppressed by you will instantly and completely go out of control!
They will be like wild horses breaking free from their reins, backlash-ing against the origin of the divine kingdom!"
Elder Mo flicked his large sleeve, and the divine kingdom projection on the podium shattered with a boom, turning into countless dots of light filling the sky.
"Ninety-nine point nine percent of Calamity Divine Kingdoms will directly collapse at the moment of impacting Tier 2 due to overly violent energy!
Creators will lightly suffer shattered divine godhoods and become cripples, or heavily suffer backlash on the spot from the calamity power and be reduced to ashes!"
The classroom was dead silent.
All the elite students swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cold sweat soaking their backs.
"Too terrifying.
Fortunately, I chose the wood-attribute vitality route back then, taking steady and solid steps."
"Yeah, who would be so thick-headed as to walk the calamity route?
Isn't that purely looking for death?"
"What's the use of being invincible in the same tier?
If you can't advance to Tier 2, you don't even have the qualification to qualify in the grand competition!"
Listening to the relieved whispering of the surrounding students, Lin Yunfei sat in the corner, his brows tightly locked.
Wasn't the "backlash of calamity power" described by Elder Mo exactly what was happening inside his own divine kingdom right now?
Because he absorbed the power of the Ancient Blood Demon, xuanming heavy water had already lost control ahead of schedule, turning into floods filling the sky.
If according to what Elder Mo said, was this path truly a path of certain death with no chance of survival?
No! That's not right!
Lin Yunfei's gaze flashed as he stared at Elder Mo on the stage.
If it were truly a path of certain death, the higher-ups of the academy wouldn't need to specifically bring it up for discussion during such an important pre-battle tutoring class.
Sure enough.
Elder Mo on the podium looked at this group of frightened students below, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashing deep within his eyes.
Afterwards, his tone took a turn.
"Of course, the Great Dao is fifty, the heavenly evolution is forty-nine, and there is always a glimmer of life in everything."
Elder Mo's voice pulled everyone's attention back once again.
"Just now this old man said that ninety-nine point nine percent of people will die.
Then, what about the remaining zero point one percent?"
An unprecedentedly fanatical light erupted in Elder Mo's eyes, and even his breathing became a bit hurried.
"If, I am saying if!
If there is a monstrous talent possessing the foundation to break conventional logic, who can stubbornly endure the backlash of the calamity and successfully push the Calamity Divine Kingdom into Tier 2, then he will obtain the most heaven-defying hidden reward in the Creator system."
"Divine Kingdom Charm!"
"Boom!"
As soon as this word came out, several knowledgeable top students in the front row stood up abruptly, their faces full of disbelief.
"Divine Kingdom Charm?
Elder Mo, are you joking?
Isn't that the ultimate foundation that can only be nurtured after a higher divine kingdom of Tier 4 or above has experienced countless years of precipitation?"
one student exclaimed in shock.
"That's right!"
Elder Mo nodded heavily, saying sternly: "An ordinary Tier 2 divine kingdom is merely a simple superposition of laws.
But a divine kingdom that has withstood the baptism of calamity, with destruction and rebirth intertwined, will condense a wisp of charm that only a higher divine kingdom possesses in advance at the very instant of advancement!"
"For a divine kingdom possessing charm, the internal law hierarchy has already reached the strength of a Tier 4 divine kingdom!
This means that when your dependents face enemies of the same tier or even one tier higher, they will inherently carry 'Rule Suppression'!
The enemy's spell power will be halved, and your dependents will carry true damage even with just a basic attack!"
The whole audience was in an uproar!
Rule suppression?
Ignoring tiers?
This was simply cheating!
If someone could really condense this kind of thing when advancing from Tier 1 to Tier 2, did the first place of the regional grand competition even need to be fought?
Just hand out the award directly!
"Elder Mo, how on earth can one withstand the backlash of the calamity?"
a student shouted with bloodshot eyes.
Elder Mo gave a bitter smile and shook his head, looking like he was watching a group of whimsical children.
"Difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"To suppress the rampaging calamity laws, you need two conditions.
First, your divine kingdom must possess an ancient divine object with the characteristic of 'absolute suppression' to act as the array core.
For example, the [nine heavens breathing soil], which is legendary for being able to fill seas and create land with just a single grain."
"Second, you need a massive and pure amount of vitality energy to neutralize the destructive force of the calamity.
This level of energy requires stripping away the world origin of at least a complete Tier 2 or even Tier 3 world to accomplish."
"Third, and most importantly, wanting the calamity power to completely merge with the divine kingdom is no different from pulling chestnuts out of fire.
Once the calamity power enters the divine kingdom, it will cause destructive damage to the divine kingdom, so how can they be spoken of as merging together!"
Elder Mo sighed: "Do you think that a novice Creator who hasn't even reached Tier 2 could possibly acquire the [nine heavens breathing soil] and [High-Tier World Origin]?
This is simply a pseudo-proposition."
"Therefore, the calamity route is theoretically invincible in the world, but in reality, it is a dead-end road."
After hearing these two conditions, the students who had previously been boiling with blood instantly deflated like punctured balls, collapsing back into their chairs one after another.
That's right, mythical things like the nine heavens breathing soil—let alone them, even the principal and vice-principals of the academy probably had never seen them.
As for Tier 2 world origins, that was even more of a daydream.
A chorus of regretful sighs resounded inside the classroom.
However.
In that dim corner at the very back of the classroom,
Lin Yunfei sat within the shadows, the corners of his mouth beneath his mask, however, uncontrollably surging upward wildly, splitting into a heart-palpitating arc.
Other people couldn't get the nine heavens breathing soil, but he did!
And it was such a huge divine mountain!
Other people couldn't get massive amounts of pure vitality, but he did!
The massive origin power of the Ancient Blood Demon had just poured a torrential rain of vitality into his divine kingdom!
"So that's how it is!
The key to breaking the situation doesn't lie in how to block the water, but in borrowing momentum!"
"But how to merge this calamity power and the divine kingdom together still needs some thought!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yunfei immediately plunged his consciousness into the divine kingdom, where the five-colored cocoon of light surrounding Yushi emitted a dazzling radiance...
