I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 501 Shattered Void
Is An coming?

Just a few words were enough to quiet down the noisy conference room.

They looked at each other.

Then, these old guys from the eighth floor saw something complicated in each other's eyes, and memories that none of them wanted to recall.

It had to be the minotaur who stepped forward first and shouted loudly.

"Lanxi Ranfeng, what nonsense are you spouting! An made those kinds of statements when he left back then, how could he possibly come back so easily now?"

The talking elf merely glanced at the minotaur, not wanting to say another word to this mindless creature.

"Ha, it's just An. He couldn't reach the ninth level back then, but he can now? What a joke."

At this moment, another minotaur chuckled and stood up abruptly.

"I can't reason with you. Even if I mention An, so what? What's the big deal about the Mina Fifth Floor? It has nothing to do with me. I still need to go to the Shattered Void to cultivate. Don't come to me with such trivial matters."

As he spoke, countless points of light appeared on the minotaur's body, and he vanished from the conference room.

"Why did Kadalit leave?"

“Breaking through the void, right, I still have the cultivation time for breaking through the void, so we can do it together.”

"I suddenly remembered that those middle-level kids still have classes, so I'm going to give a lecture. You can decide on Mina's matter."

As this was said, more and more of the old guys on the eighth floor chose to "log off".

In just five minutes, only thirteen people remained in the entire conference room.

At this moment, the black-robed old ape looked around, his expression strange, complex and angry, yet helpless.

"Since everyone has something to do, then Mina's matter..."

Before the words "temporarily put aside" could be uttered, the serpent Guana laughed and asked, "Has Elder Ape already made a decision?"

The old ape glanced back at Guyana, but just then the bronze dragon prince also asked, "What are your thoughts on Mina's resources, old ape?"

Old Ape was stunned. Didn't we just agree to give Mina the resources from the seventh floor? Why are you asking again now? I wanted to suggest putting it on hold for now, but you won't let me.

Ha ha ha.

The old ape remained silent.

“Since those resources were left to the descendants of Senanhill by the First Lord, then let’s give them to Mina.”

The Bronze Dragon Prince asked with a faint smile, "Oh? All of it? Including the part that shattered the void?"

However, these words caused a change in the expressions of the others, including the elf.

"Ahem, Mina is not yet capable of handling those things. Let's give him some things that are appropriate for his fifth level of status."

The old ape waved his hand, seemingly quite generous.

"By the way, since Lanxi has already spoken, then Olivia's applications for Mina are approved..."

"You can make the decisions on these matters. I still need to complete the level-up mission to the ninth level."

The Bronze Dragon Prince spoke calmly, then rose and left.

"Theoretically, the limit of starlight is nine layers."

Inside Mina's cabin, Olivia was giving Mina and the other two a detailed explanation of the world of starlight above the fifth floor.

She explained some key points and essential basic knowledge that Xinghui needed to master. As the guide for the three of them, she naturally had to make some things clear.

Although she still finds it hard to believe that Mina has reached the fifth level.

"Nine floors."

Lucy and Anshana's eyes lit up.

Having lived in this Void Tower for a month, I naturally know the power of the higher-ups and their numerous privileges and status.

It can be said that even a seventh-level expert would be considered high above on the first level, and many natives of the Void Tower would never be able to meet him in their entire lives.

Even Mina and the others had never seen the eighth floor.

Legend has it that above the ninth level, there are even Star Radiance experts who are said to be invincible below the Star Domain.

Those people were all indifferent to worldly affairs, focusing solely on the pursuit of the Star Realm.

Let alone Mina, even in Ovilia, it's rare to see one or two people like that.

Ansana asked curiously, "Even if you reach the ninth floor, are there only two ways?"

"That's right. Even if you're going from level eight to level nine, there are only two ways: challenging the keystone and completing the level-up quest."

"But compared to challenging the Keystone, most of the top players on the first few floors actually chose to complete the level-up quests."

Seeing the curious looks on Mina and the other two, Olivia patiently explained.

Once you reach the middle or higher levels, the difficulty of the Tower of Miracles increases dramatically.

On the first floor, Nightmare difficulty is equivalent to the second floor.

However, for level four, nightmare level is only equivalent to level five.

The fifth level of Nightmare difficulty is equivalent to the sixth level.

But the difficulty increases even more on the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is an epic difficulty level, which is equivalent to the eighth floor.

The epic difficulty of level eight is not even comparable to a small boss on level nine.

This is the gap.

"Even an epic team at level eight, the kind that can clear the level eight survival challenge raid, might not be able to clear a standard illusion at level nine."

Therefore, many veterans on the eighth floor usually choose to do quests in order to advance to the ninth floor.

Compared to the challenge of the nine-story Divine Tower, the level-up quests are obviously much simpler.

In fact, many of the top players on the ninth floor rose to their positions through level-up quests.

Once you truly ascend, the amount of void shattering and the benefits of the Void Tower far surpass what the eighth floor can offer.

Upon hearing this, Mina gradually understood.

Even among nine floors, there are differences between each nine floors.

I wonder what status Sister Purple Robe would have in the Tower of the Void.

It should be able to reach the ninth floor.

What about An?

That guy...

Thinking of An's combat strength, Mina felt it was at least eight levels.
Could this woman also reach the ninth level?

Mina remained silent.

Mina didn't know if she could get to the ninth floor, but she had a feeling that this woman, An, was at least at the eighth floor.

"Sister Ovi, I want to bring some people to the Void Tower..."

"Oh, I know, isn't that your fiancée in Gutaorn?"

When she heard the words "fiancée," Lucia rolled her eyes at Mina.

Mina pretended not to see Lucia's gaze and simply nodded.

"For the seventh floor, you need to complete tasks to have a chance to go back and recruit, but even that requires opportunity."

Olivia said that even as a high-ranking apostle who had been around for a long time, she didn't have many opportunities to "use her position for personal gain".

As for Mina and the other two, this was only after the teacher had given them prior notice.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to do it without invoking the teacher's name.

"As for the eighth level, you only need to pay some extra price, such as the time it takes to break through the void, in exchange for a spot."

"Of course, if it's a ninth-level big shot, as long as it's not too outrageous, it's basically a matter of a single word."

As expected, it would take at least 80% of the time to bring Catherine and the others over.

Nine floors...

This requires reaching the pinnacle of Star Power.

Even stronger.

The difference between the peak of the Heavenly Realm and the peak of the Heavenly Realm is so vast.

What about Starshine?
The difference between Starshine and Starfield is even greater.

The pinnacle of star power...

Flames rose in Mina's eyes.

There are too many mysteries in this Void Tower, and the improvement in strength is unimaginable to those outside. If possible, he wants to stay in the Void Tower to cultivate for as long as possible.

It will take at least a few years.

But now, I really miss Catherine and the others.

Three years... eight floors...

Ah, I think I should go back to visit my family.

Even Mina felt that three years and eight floors was somewhat impossible.

"Alright, back to the main topic. The key point of Starshine is that everything is important."

Olivia carefully explained to Mina the things Starshine should pay attention to.

Starshine, generally speaking, is the ultimate goal of a demigod.

Elements, fusion techniques.

Five stages is basically the limit that can be achieved.

It's incredibly difficult to climb up and break through to the sixth level.

Over the years, whether it's secret techniques or basic skills, very few people have been able to break through to the sixth level.

Therefore, at Star Glory, the key is to have a thorough grasp of everything that is within your control.

Elements and fusion techniques, mental power and physical body.

These are all fundamentals. Of course, on top of these, one must also master magic techniques, physical skills, and meditation methods.

Furthermore, one must combine this with fusion techniques and thoroughly understand one's own unique skills.

Even though they are both five-stage fusion techniques, the difference in the combat power they release is not small.

Mina, who had witnessed Ann's actions, was naturally aware of this.

Spark is actually an extension of this road.

His own summary of the power of magic is the same.

It's not just these basics.

Equipment is also very important.

After reaching the seventh level of Star Power, equipment also serves as an extension of combat strength.

A well-suited weapon can last for thousands of years.

Even when faced with stronger equipment and weapons, one may not be able to match the skill of equipment that has been honed over thousands of years—that is, a combat tactic that integrates the entire weapon into one's own combat power system.

"However, most high-level equipment, especially top-level equipment, requires absorbing fragments of divine essence before it can be activated."

Mina nodded slowly, feeling helpless.

The more he learned about the divine stone, the more he could feel the hardships faced by the agents.

For the geniuses of those great clans, they only need to frantically absorb fragments of divine essence to rapidly improve their abilities.

Cultivating in this Void Tower is twice as efficient.

If it weren't for Mina's six-stage meditation technique protecting him, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch up with those guys who were absorbing the fragments of divinity.

Similarly, many divine stone artifacts require the energy of divine fragments to operate.

This is obviously much simpler for the maker.

But for Mina and her agents, it was far too difficult.

The more advanced the product, the fewer suitable agents there are.

"But it doesn't matter. In the Shattered Void, there is actually a chance to find some Void equipment that is suitable for you."

Mina blinked, as if she had heard many words she had never heard before.

Ansana asked directly, "Sister Ovi, you've mentioned 'shattering the void' so many times, what is that?"

Olivia laughed and said, "It's an extremely special place. It's said to be connected by the Void Tower, and some say it's the ultimate manifestation of the Holy Spring."

"Anyway, you can get so many benefits there that you can't even imagine."

Speaking of shattering the void, Olivia's eyes were filled with emotion and hope.

"Generally speaking, once you reach the fifth level, you'll have the opportunity to enter that shattered void."

“Every year, the Void Tower also rewards time points for breaking through the void.”

"Five layers in a year means there's only one point in time."

"Three on the sixth floor, nine on the seventh floor."

"At any given moment, one can remain in that shattered void for an hour."

"For some people, an hour may be enough to comprehend a profound skill that would take decades, hundreds or even thousands of years to grasp."

Upon hearing this, Mina suddenly became interested.

"The void equipment you mentioned..."

"That's right, it's the equipment that appeared in that shattered void. There are weapons, clothes, rings, all kinds of equipment. Some are suitable for you, and some are not."

"Of course, generally speaking, if you were to search for it, it could take years—the Shattered Void is too vast, and the Void Equipment is too scarce and too small, making it very difficult to find."

"But it's not impossible."

"This relates to the rewards of the Tower of Miracles after the fifth floor."

Mina blinked, noticing the smile on Olivia's lips, and a thought struck him: "Could time points also be obtained from the Tower of Miracles?"

"Yes."

Olivia smiled.

"At level five and above, on Nightmare difficulty, there is a chance to obtain the Time Point. The higher the difficulty, the greater the chance of obtaining it."

Mina understood; only on Nightmare difficulty level 5 was there a chance to get game cards... at that time.

At a certain point in time... the void shattered.

That might be the opportunity for him to reach the eighth level...

"What exactly does shattering the void look like?"

Anshana held Mi Xiaohu in her arms, and the two of them were lost in their own fantasy.

Even Lucia was shocked by what Olivia said.

Shattering the void...

What on earth is…

Mina, however, recalled what Olivia had mentioned shortly after they arrived at the Void Tower: "Actually, challenging higher levels in the Heavenly Realm might be more advantageous."

Judging from the smile on Olivia's lips, it was clear that this woman had also thought of this.

"Let's not talk about how you got to the fifth floor yet; we can discuss that later. Now, I'll get to the point."

Mina immediately became serious.

The gazes of the other two and three pets also fell on Olivia.

"The Heavenly Realm has a natural advantage in the fifth and sixth level illusion challenges. The difficulty will be slightly adjusted, but the rewards will be greater."

"Even on the hard difficulty, resource settlement will be automatically adjusted, making it comparable to a nightmare. If the rating is high enough, it may even be comparable to an epic."

"More importantly, the timing."

"The drop rate will be much higher at certain times."

"Those with higher scores may even have more."

"This is an opportunity, and also a reward from the Void Tower to geniuses and prodigies."

"Of course, it's not just about the point in time."

"And the guide stone for Void equipment."

"In the shattered void, finding equipment on your own is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, but with the guiding stone, everything becomes much simpler."

"Perhaps we can find that equipment in that shattered void in a few hours, or even a dozen minutes."

"Remember, all Void equipment is extremely valuable. Even a seemingly insignificant ring is far more expensive than those so-called superior divine stones and divine stone equipment outside."

"There are even rumors that the so-called divine stones, divine stone equipment, and many secret techniques are all imitations of void equipment and void secret techniques."
