Chapter 681 - 208: Climbing the Peak, Shifting Offense and Defense_4
The battle method in this world is also modeled after the creation of the Shuyan Domain.
For example, when two authors clash due to various conflicts, they each unfold their Book Realm domains, generating the characters they set up to engage in battle.
This world is also a trump card in the eyes of Shuyan.
It has established a rigorous author strength level for this world, divided into six grades.
They are:
Literary Disciple: Initially mastering the power of Scholar’s Ascendance, capable of writing simple stories.
Scholar: The power of Scholar’s Ascendance becomes solid, capable of writing battle stories. The author can simply release abilities from the Book Realm, such as unleashing the fire power mastered by characters in the book during combat.
Literary Master: The power of Scholar’s Ascendance takes form, capable of writing war epics, condensing Literary Soldiers, meaning the characters in the book can manifest within the Book Realm domain.
Literary Sect: The power of Scholar’s Ascendance reaches the heavens; the content written can alter the environment and weather, and the generated Book Realm domain can trigger celestial phenomena to support Literary Soldiers in battle.
Scripture Lord: The power of Scholar’s Ascendance becomes divine, perfectly generating self-written characters and endowing them with a certain degree of self-awareness.
Literary Saint: The power of Scholar’s Ascendance becomes immortal, capable of opening the Scholar’s Ascendance Domain and modifying the rules of one’s created Book Realm domain.
...
This growth system in the eyes of Shuyan is designed to select good works.
For this purpose, it created an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao in this world, "Scholar’s Ascendance."
Scholar’s Ascendance is the origin power of this world and the foundation of all existence.
Scholar’s Ascendance is formless and intangible, providing feedback of spiritual power through novels that combine text and stories.
In the eyes of beings in the inspiration world, Scholar’s Ascendance is the first wisp of energy born when the heavens were first opened. It differentiates into time, space, matter, and rules, forming the framework of the world in their eyes and the foundation for the operation of all things and world order.
Imagination is the key to touching the essence of the world and gaining the blessing of Scholar’s Ascendance power.
For example, if an author can imagine an entirely new energy system, that system will be directly transformed into the rules of the Book Realm, manifesting in the author’s own Book Realm domain and becoming reality.
Scholar’s Ascendance is also the world’s connoisseur of literature, with the content created by authors like examination papers, and Scholar’s Ascendance will give the corresponding score.
The score determines the height of beings in this world.
One can also understand Scholar’s Ascendance as a literary master hidden behind the scenes of the world, silently watching the efforts of every author, judging the quality of the works through the flow of literary energy and evolution of the Book Realm, then granting the corresponding power.
The rigorous logic of the story, the sincerity of the story’s emotions... after the judgment of Scholar’s Ascendance, corresponding literary energy power is bestowed upon the author’s Book Realm.
This growth system has no privileges; it does not favor authors because of their power and fame, nor does it add points because of the power of the author’s parents. It only recognizes works for their depth and imagination.
Shuyan created this world precisely to perfect the combat system of the Shuyan Domain.
Then, using the rules of Hold, Pen, and Book, it generates Shuyan Domain worlds of different systems in Monster World, producing powerful War Corps.
Other small worlds are all producing Ink Power, only the inspiration world requires it to continuously invest Ink Power to aid growth.
The city it descended upon is called Wen City, the literary holy site of the inspiration world, gathering countless scholars and literati and Scholars and Cultivators of Scholar’s Ascendance.
Every inch of land here is filled with rich literary energy, and when it created the inspiration world, it established a building here.
The entire city was also constructed around this building as the center.
The building is shaped like a tower piercing the sky, with a library inside, collecting the peak works created by the beings of the inspiration world, and ranking them in the tower based on literary energy levels.
One could also understand it as the novel ranking list of the inspiration world is set here.
Shuyan came this time to check the latest works ranking list and seek inspiration for creating a new combat system.
Its consciousness scanned the sequence of works at the top of the tower, and countless pieces of information presented themselves in Shuyan’s mind.
