The greatest difference between a magical world and a technological world was perhaps the tremendous difference in individual power levels.
The Gods' great deeds of creating the world were myths and folklore in the technological world. They were materials that poets and novelists repeatedly used as reference. But in a magical world, they were historical records that were recorded verbally and in written texts.
However, apart from a very small number of original Gods who were born with special circumstances, most Gods had advanced step by step. Even the God of Holy Light, who was the highest God in the old generation, had historical records of him being a mortal knight. There was also a history of him starting as a weak God and struggling to become the highest God.
After entering a new generation, the Aishi People's pursuit of individual power didn't decrease. Instead, it became even more intense and orderly.
When the Aishi People first opened their doors, some top-level individuals traveled the Heavens by themselves. After sweeping through the Heavens by themselves, they even traveled the Milky Way by themselves and traveled the universe by themselves. For a short period of time, a large number of powerful individuals and heroes from the immemorial generation suddenly returned. After causing a series of news, they directly went to the outer realms to explore.
This seemed quite inconceivable, but it was actually inevitable.
With a sufficiently long history, there would definitely be a tremendous number of powerful individuals. In their generation, they would be the center of attention and the favorites of the Gods. This sounded just like a beautiful fairy tale.
The problem was that the Aishi people were immortal. Although they weren't truly immortal, there were many ways to extend their lifespans. What if the heroes were unable to retire from the stage of history like in opera novels?
When a young village hero became a Myth-ranked hero, after his Myth-ranked story ended, the storyteller would say, "The hero and his successor lived a happy and peaceful life until they grew old." But in reality, those powerful SemiGod, Myth-ranked, dragonborn, divine bloodline, and demonkin heroes — the hero's successor, friends, and even mortal enemies — would all die of old age, while the hero himself might still be in the prime of his life.
The Aishi people had a tradition. Every one or two thousand years, there would be a major reshuffle. After the so-called Holy War, the ruling species would be replaced.
Living an old age didn't mean that they were smart or intelligent. But those with low intelligence wouldn't be able to live that long. Perhaps they would be fooled into becoming cannon fodder in the Holy War.
If they didn't want to become cannon fodder, they would naturally have to live in seclusion. And if they avoided the Holy War that belonged to their species, it would be even more impossible for them to participate in the following Holy War.
In the depths of the earth, at the edge of the Heavenly Realm, in the endless void, in the frozen polar regions, and in the bottomless abyss, there were countless darlings of the era and those who were once favored by the heavens.
They had been accumulating and accumulating for countless years. Among the oldest group, there were even Golden Bloodlines and Ancient Divine People from the beginning of the world.
And at the moment of dawn, the gate to the infinite worlds was opened, giving them a new choice to live in seclusion.
Many of them had already lost their emotional connection with this world and had left this world as soon as possible. The strong were still the strong, and the reputation they had made in the outside world had also caused the evaluation of Aishi by many civilizations to skyrocket.
Some saw that the Holy War had become meaningless and impossible due to the current situation. After the new generation, they chose to rejoin society and gradually gained a foothold in society … In the new generation of Gods, such ancient "returnees" made up a large portion of the Gods.
Most of them just went with the flow. Or, it could be said that they didn't even have time to think about how to deal with the new generation … Some of them participated in the Holy War of Dawn and left Aishi after the war, while others became complete wanderers who wandered around the world as they pleased.
The Holy War of Dawn was the most difficult time of all. It was also the time when the stars shone brightly.
Countless powerful individuals supported this world, creating a new generation of culture for the strong. For ordinary people, powerful job class individuals were no longer "landlords" or "unimportant people" like they were in the past. They were more like celebrities and businessmen, familiar strangers living in a dazzling world.
This was especially true for the large decrease in internal wars, as well as all sorts of positive publicity about the Holy War of Dawn, which was supposed to protect the world. This weakened the negative effects of the Holy War, and also highlighted the role of so-called "heroes".
The culture of the strong and the worship of the strong was unavoidable in this land. And in Eich, becoming a strong individual was just like becoming a star athlete with a positive desire.
Ansorenne wasn't a pure land. The high death rate of descenders was always a topic that couldn't be avoided.
However, there were still countless young people who chose to walk down this path. For this reason, they didn't hesitate to sign all sorts of slave contracts with various religious organizations. Of course, they all had their own expectations.
After so many years of polishing, Eich's way of improving had already been simplified and perfected to the extreme. Eich was basically a society with a rigid social hierarchy. Resources were already distributed, and the system was rather rigid. Perhaps it was meaningful for an individual to work hard, but it was highly impossible for one to become rich overnight or reach the heavens in a single step.
Although everyone knew that this was the right path, how many people would be willing to endure 30 years of hard work when they were just starting out?
The worst part was that even if you waited for thirty years, others would also wait for several decades. The competition would be just as fierce, and you might even have to face the competition of the younger generation's geniuses. Even then, you might not necessarily win.
Ansorenne was different.
With the high density of the Elemental Tide, various natural combat environments, and various local world laws and spells, there was far too much possibility of becoming rich overnight.
It could be said that every descender was a desperado who gambled their lives. They knew that they had a high chance of facing danger and death, but in order to obtain the possibility of reaching the heavens in a single step, surpassing the limits of time, and surpassing those legendary "heroes" and "demon kings", they gambled their own futures and everything they had.
Rorschach was the best example. Without Ansorenne, he would at most be at the second rank. But now, he was already a fourth rank job holder. Under certain conditions, he could even challenge those legendary "demon kings" and "heroes".
There was once a scholar who did statistics. Fifty percent of the new descenders in small and medium churches wouldn't be able to survive the first year. On the other side of the heavy casualty rate, low-level job holders would grow five times faster, while high-level job holders would advance three times faster. On average, they would be able to excavate their potential by one rank.
The descenders gambled with their lives for a future, and now, there was someone who could help them advance as if they were cheating. Moreover, they didn't need to take medicine or use divine power to stimulate their potential. Not only would this not affect their future development, but it would also excavate their potential. How could they resist such a temptation?
What was a penalty for breaking the contract? What was a temporary regression in strength after leaving the nourishment of divine power? Earning money and cultivating, weren't they all for the sake of reaching the peak? There was a cheating elevator that didn't have any side effects and even allowed them to break through bottlenecks. Why would they still need to painstakingly climb the mountain?
Not to mention the new descenders, even the middle-level backbone of the large and medium churches were quite a few of them.
Among the many applications, Rorschach even saw an acquaintance.
