Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514

Having acquired the item, Du You logged out of the dark web and returned home, sharing the information with the two sisters.

While reviewing it, the trio kept discussing back and forth.

"It seems that if you want to advance quickly at the seventh tier, aside from gaining understanding on your own, there are only four conventional methods. Let’s disregard the slow comprehension approach, as it is unsuitable for us Earthlings."

Du You was right, the Earth’s expansion was very rapid and so the dangers were huge. Occasionally, they would encounter other high-level worlds of equal standing, with both sides experiencing wins and losses. For their future and to avoid enslavement, people on Earth had no choice but to opt for the fastest and most dangerous methods. The previous batch of experts had all grown stronger this way.

"The most dangerous but also the most direct approach is the first method, which might suit us, and we even have a place for it."

"We do have a place, the Battlefield of the Gods is a good one, but with our current strength being weak, entering such a place might be akin to delivering food to our adversaries," Lin Yucha outright rejected the idea.

Inevitably, only those with strong power could reap rewards there, whereas the weak would be harvested.

As for how the weak were lured into such places, that remained unclear, but it was none of their concern.

This method is the most straightforward: directly hunting down those at the seventh tier could yield a great amount of exclusive Crystal Coins, and burning them could deepen one’s understanding. If the killed being is similar to oneself at the seventh tier, then one can also absorb Law Crystals for additional understanding.

Isn’t that how Earth produced eighth-tier powerhouses in just a few hundred years?

This method is even considered mainstream in many worlds, especially for aggressive worlds like the Abyss. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Let’s look at the second method, the most traditional one, which involves directly taking on tasks. This approach is too random; sometimes you come across suitable tasks, and sometimes you don’t," Du You murmured.

Lin Yucha also spoke, "It’s indeed very random, but the risks are high as well. Most tasks that are rated at the seventh tier directly involve encounters with beings of the same tier, and we still need to enhance our strength."

Du You said with a hint of gloom, "If only my Summoned Beasts could break through a few more tiers."

"Master, you’re still doing well, at least your profession as a Summoner is among the stronger ones, much better than many awkward Summoners." The upper and lower limits of a Summoner were both too high, leading to a polarized divide.

Du You was aware that a significant part of Summoners was plagued with the search for suitable Summoned Beasts. Without finding Summoned Beasts of equivalent tier to their own level rise, their combat power could not be fully unleashed.

After reaching a certain height, without assistance from others, one could only rely on oneself, which was a pitfall.

However, there were some like Du You who constructed Summoning-type skills directly. If their skills were constructed well, each could match one’s own tier. Although one could not exhibit the full strength of a powerhouse at the same tier, having a higher quantity could be exceedingly terrifying in combat, making such Summoners stand out at their tier.

The special trait of Du You’s profession was this type. It may not show much at first, but as one progresses to later stages, the troubles decrease, and the exhibited combat strength grows stronger.

Summoners who rely on capturing Summoned Beasts would find themselves virtually useless after reaching the seventh tier.

"Forget it, let’s not think about this anymore and continue reviewing the other methods."

The third method, the one Du You was currently employing, was related to the Farming Faction. One would find a world of the seventh tier or above and completely control it through one’s own territory. By controlling a world, one could acquire a continuous stream of Crystal Coins. The advantage of this method is stability, and the benefits grow with time.

However, for someone like Du You who had risen rapidly, the rewards in the short term were not very apparent.

Nevertheless, Du You made a decision: "Moving forward, whatever the method is, we must manage our farming well. As long as we have enough worlds, our strength’s progression will not slow down. This method is suitable for everyone."

"Master is right, having a few worlds might not show much, but having many worlds is a different story. Most importantly, this method is stable, and once a large order is established, there are hardly any mishaps," Lin Yushi concurred.

Du You acknowledged that the top powerhouses on Earth definitely employed this method.

Finally, there was another method which Du You found particularly objectionable. This was a destructive approach—directly targeting an Outer World and obliterating it to extract its World Origin.

This method could quickly heal one’s injuries and bring an abundance of benefits all at once. Initially, Professionals even encouraged this practice, albeit they destroyed minor worlds under enemy control.

However, it was later discovered that this practice was highly inappropriate. Destroying a world would generate massive resentment, and each world entailed numerous complications.

Destroying a world is simple and brings substantial short-term benefits, but the consequences are real and impossible to erase. Many who destroyed several worlds became increasingly distorted in character, eventually setting their sights on worlds controlled by others. Some even betrayed Earth outright.

When people began to notice the drawbacks of this approach, the practice largely fell out of favor and was practically banned.

Occasional indulgence is still permitted; the ban isn’t absolute but restricts the practice to once within a certain period.

The Blood Lotus Sect Master had just discovered their Yalan Great World and immediately wanted to destroy it, probably with this intention. Destroying the world to heal and recover, while taking the opportunity for revenge.

What the Blood Lotus Sect Master did not anticipate was the capability of several newly-advanced individuals to suppress and seal him, which turned out to be his greatest misstep. In fact, this method was most utilized by Chaos Beings.

For example, Demons primarily rely on this tactic. The reason for openly disclosing this method is to ensure awareness, because even if it was hidden, people would discover it from other sources eventually. Uninformed and reckless usage could cause significant loss to Earth.

At that point, the impact would extend beyond the loss of just a few individuals and could even trigger a chain reaction.

"Although I’m unsure of the specific dangers this method entails, it’s best to avoid using it if possible."

"I agree, if the world is needed, why not occupy it instead of destroying it? Don’t we want to develop further in the future?" Lin Yushi was the first to take a stance. Despite being involved in countless killings, they were not yet at the point of becoming utterly ruthless.
