Chapter 988 ends abruptly
The so-called boundary gate, as everyone knows now, is actually the vortex eye of the sea known as the "throat of the lord".

After the Tidal Cliffs were destroyed by the barbarians, the awakened sea creatures continuously poured out from the throat of the Lord.

Now, the Oracles are actually offering the essence of their Lord's remains to expand the gate and allow the Evolvers to enter!
If they succeed, the outcome will be equally devastating.

Despite the presence of many level 12 or 13 powerhouses among the elites of the Empire and the Barbarians, whose strength rivals that of evolved beings, the Black Tide Plane is, after all, merely an "ascension plane."

The powerful native warriors of the empire and barbarians are still different from true evolved beings.

True evolved beings possess an "evolutionary force field," which exerts a stronger suppressive force on "first-tier awakened skills," specifically manifested as a priority reduction of 5!

In other words, when using a Tier 1 skill on an evolved being, whether it is an equipment skill or a combat skill, a priority penalty of -5 will be imposed—which essentially cancels out all the additional priority of Tier 1 skills based on "star rating".

Among the Awakened Major Generals like Bai Pu, the best of the best are able to fight the Ascended Leaders to a standstill because of the special nature of the Ascended Dimension, which does not have an "evolutionary force field".

How about trying the Evolver with the hero template?
They're guaranteed to get beaten so badly they won't know where they're going!
This is the fundamental difference brought about by different levels of life.

"fire!"

Bai Pu shouted loudly.

Firing at the oracle was the only solution Bai Pu could think of.

One after another, magic crystal cannons were ready.

Bai Pu stood protectively in front of Wu Qingyun and the others, shrouded in the fog of war, preventing Prince Zaku, Rosen, and others from launching an attack.

Boom boom!
The magic crystal cannon roared, unleashing streams of purple energy.

However, the four oracles did not even blink.

Bai Pu watched helplessly as the energy torrent from the magic crystal cannon rapidly shrank and weakened as it approached the bodies of the four Oracles, ultimately failing to even touch their surfaces.

Seeing this, Rosen was somewhat surprised: "You really awakened your past life memories? No, if you had awakened your past life memories, you couldn't possibly not know that with such a huge difference in priority, no matter how high the damage, it wouldn't be able to reach the opponent..."

The oracles completely ignored Bai Pu.

Previously in the mental space, the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon could shatter the "hunter's" form.

That's because in the game of the Mind Space, Bai Pu and others played the role of "werewolfs," and the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon was regarded as an attack by the werewolves, which also had the power of the rule system.

Now back in the main brain chamber, no longer in the game, the huge difference in priority rendered the magic crystal cannon ineffective.

Gaia's will sent a notification, which served as an explanation for Bai Pu.

In battles involving Evolved Beings and above, the difference in priority will create a damage amplification/reduction effect similar to 'level suppression'. Each point of priority difference will provide a 10% damage amplification/reduction.

Bai Pu instantly realized that in the world of evolved beings, priorities are even more important, determining not only the judgment and effectiveness of control skills, but also the increase or decrease of damage!

According to Gaia's will, when the priority difference between the two is greater than or equal to 10 points, the weaker one's attack damage will be reduced to 0%!

In other words, they are literally "unable to reach each other," meaning they are not even in the same dimension.

Based on this calculation, the priority difference between the four oracles... that is, the four divine messengers and Bai Pu and others should be 10 points or more, belonging to the two sides "not on the same level".

Bai Pu felt a chill run down his spine. Just how high was the priority of the divine messenger? At least over 20, possibly even over 25...

The prompts from Gaia's will continued:

[The essence of the Lord's remains has been detected being released.]

[The strength and essence of the Black Tide world will be enhanced, elevating it from an Ascension Dimension to a Second-Tier Intermediate Evolver World.] [Due to unforeseen circumstances, your Ascension Trial has ended prematurely. As compensation, you will receive an additional 20% Ascension Infusion Points.]

ended.

The will of the spirit world will not issue tasks that cannot be completed.

Therefore, Bai Pu had no way to stop the Oracle's sacrifice, and Gaia's will naturally not generate related tasks.

Amidst the flashes of white light, Bai Pu's figure gradually became illusory. At the same time, all the Gaia Major Generals and all the otherworldly sea creatures also became illusory, clearly having been forcibly repatriated.

Bai Pu's ascension trial came to an abrupt end!

……

The clouds and mist are ethereal.

Beneath Bai Pu's feet were soft, fluffy clouds, and ahead lay a gate shrouded in mist.

Beside Bai Pu, the two shamans also appeared, looking bewildered.

[Dear Trialer Steelheart, congratulations on passing the trial of the Ascension Plane. Please pass through the Ascension Gate and receive the Ascension Infusion.]

The two witches had obviously received the same message.

"How about I go first?" Wu Mingyue readily took on the role of guinea pig. "Although I didn't participate in the third stage of the ascension main storyline, as a team member assigned different responsibilities, Gaia's Will still counts me as having participated in and completed the three stages. My ascension infusion points shouldn't be too few."

It's reasonable to assume that Wu Mingyue participated in and completed Ascension Quest 3, as Gaia's Will considers her involvement. This is because Wu Mingyue didn't betray the team; rather, as a crucial part of the main quest, she handed over the key map to Imperial Marshal Gallius.

If Wu Mingyue hadn't delivered the map, the Empire and the Barbarians wouldn't have so decisively united and entered the Lord's Remains.

Without the external pressure from the combined forces of the Empire and the barbarians, the Oracle would not have so decisively chosen the backup plan, sacrificing the essence of his lord's remains.

Perhaps after they get the Naga to drive away Bai Pu and the others, they will still have a way to continue the divine descent ritual.

Wu Mingyue stepped through the gate of ascension.

In an instant, the surrounding clouds and mist converged, transforming into a series of 3D stereoscopic scenes depicting Wu Mingyue's participation in the ascension trial, constantly changing and unfolding.

From the Rose Arena at the beginning, to the "Whisper Bottle" series of quests, to the naval battles on board, and finally to submitting the map...

After the ever-changing clouds and mist finished their performance, they transformed into solidified energy and surged into the gate of ascension.

On the base of the Gate of Ascension, light flickered and energy pillars rose upwards.

On either side of the Gate of Ascension are markings resembling bamboo joints. Each bamboo joint represents 10 Ascension Infusion Points.

The energy beam rose rapidly, climbing up 20 bamboo sections from the base!
This is 200 Ascension Infusion Points.

The rate of ascent slowed significantly afterward, but it was still climbing.

"Keep going, you must surpass 300..." Bai Pu looked up at the energy bar of the Gate of Ascension.

Through the introduction of Bart and others, Bai Pu now knows that the number of Ascension Infusion Points is generally only meaningful when it is a "multiple of one hundred".

For example, 290 Ascension Infusion Points and 210 Points are both "multiples of 100", and ultimately both increase the base priority by 2 points.

It's just that, given the same priority, the one with higher energy intensity has a greater advantage in the judgment.
