The Aishi people's path to power level was actually a path of evolution.
Meanwhile, the job class system of modern humans was based on the job class system of the past. However, compared to the simple and crude job class system of the past, the job class system of modern humans was now much more detailed. It was as if every floor of a building had many stairs, making it easier for everyone to climb.
Plus, the Elemental Tide was much more active now, which greatly reduced the difficulty of climbing. Many bottlenecks and thresholds had disappeared, and many special job classes were even removed from their names.
For example, in the past, a Soul Imprint was absolutely necessary in order to become a true Legend. But now, it could be said that more than 90% of rank 4 Legends didn't have a Soul Imprint, and more than half of rank 6 Legends didn't have a Soul Imprint either.
This couldn't be considered good or bad. After all, in the eyes of some veteran powerful individuals, high-level job classes were becoming weaker and weaker, but it was undeniable that the rate at which they improved and the success rate of their job classes had increased by more than a hundred times.
Of course, it was a good thing that the overall combat strength of the mortal plane had increased. And, these new job classes would also have the opportunity to make up for their mistakes. Even if they didn't make up for their mistakes, they would still be able to go to other peaks … To put it bluntly, with so many job classes, there would be all sorts of people. In the past, only one in ten job classes would be able to advance. But now, nine out of ten job classes would be able to advance. Not only was the number of job classes greatly increased, perhaps two or three of them would even be able to advance further.
This was the advantage of a high-level magic age. Times had changed, and some things would naturally change as well. No matter how much you thought about it, it would still be the past.
The greatest change would be in the high-level job classes. In fact, although this change would eliminate one job class, it would also change the entire world.
Above Legend was the Saint job class. That was the transition from mortal to immortal. At this level, the soul would be independent of the physical body, and lifespan would no longer be a problem.
With current standards, level 5, 6, or even 7 could be considered a level 5, 6, or even 7 job class.
Further up was the job class that had disappeared: Myth/Myth.
This stage was the final step before stepping into the true immortal/god realm. It was also an extremely difficult step.
The reason why this job class was called Myth was because the powerful individuals at this job class would start using external items to create their own Myth-ranked weapons.
Or, to put it another way, this job class would divide their own Concepts and power into actual weapons. This would be used to increase their own power, as well as completely conceptualize themselves and become a God.
From a certain perspective, those epic divine weapons were half of their creators' bodies. They were external tools used to break through the limits of humans and mortals.
It was also thanks to the existence of this realm that Aishi had so many divine weapons. In the past, most of the divine weapons came from this way. Sometimes, when the master ascended, the epic divine weapon would naturally evolve into a divine weapon. Even if the master died, the grade of the weapon would drop again and again, but it would still be a very powerful magical weapon.
Only a Divine Weapon that grew as a half-step True God could become a Divine Weapon for his Divine Soul to reside in.
This step was the dividing line between mortals and the extraordinary. There was no need to mention how important this step was. However, even the name of this step was lost in the records. Everyone had actually forgotten about this step … Could it be that this step was no longer so important in this new generation?
The answer, of course, was no.
However, compared to handmade divine weapons, humans in this era had better substitutes.
Magic Armor.
Yes, this was the reason why the Demonic Armor was a necessity for top-tier powerhouses, even though it was inconvenient.
Looking at it from a different angle, the reason why Star Knights who wore magic armor were able to do as they pleased in the universe was because they were one with their magic armor. The two of them could be viewed as one complete entity.
Only at this step could a Star Knight be called a true Star Knight.
Compared to traditional divine weapons, using magic armor as a medium to carry one's power and Concept had many benefits. It was impossible to explain all of them in a short amount of time.
The most obvious benefit was that the Star Knights could attack and defend simultaneously. This way, their weak physical bodies wouldn't be easily targeted by enemies, and they wouldn't be instantly killed.
Also, the Demonic Armor's design concept could be freely combined according to one's needs. Different modules with different functions could also satisfy the needs of various people.
The purpose of using tools was to magnify one's strengths and reduce one's weaknesses. This was in line with the Demonic Armor's design concept. In every aspect, the Demonic Armor's overall abilities were far superior to cold weapons with only one function.
From a certain standpoint, the rise of the magical engineering civilization played a terrible joke on the traditional swordsmen and mages of this world, causing their styles to become increasingly distorted.
Of course, not everyone would be able to reach that level. More accurately speaking, 99.99% of people … wouldn't be able to reach that level. However, the scenery at the highest level was reversed and determined the path at the lowest level.
It was just like how the ancient Sword Saints were ridiculously strong, so many newcomers started learning how to use the sword.
Cough, let's get back on topic. Let's talk about the most important matter right now — the Roland Sword in Rorschach's hands.
No matter if it was the Roland Sword or the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, from the most fundamental point of view, they were both evolved from Myth-ranked divine weapons.
They contained "Concepts" and "natural laws." They were the source of power that their creator had grasped. As time passed, they would continuously evolve.
As their master, Rorschach was barely able to decipher their true power.
The Book of Ten Thousand Laws contained the power of "memory." It was a lower-level branch of the soul. (There was no difference in power, only a concept.) The Book of Ten Thousand Laws treated the soul as a book that contained memories and compressed them. As long as one paid an equivalent amount of "memory (soul)", they would be able to use this soul book.
Although this sounded normal, and even a little sacred and philosophical, the style of using it was abnormally evil. I didn't know why, but Necromancy always had gray and black special effects, and Necromancers also liked to use bones and flesh as markers and casting materials. This was probably the reason why Necromancers didn't have a good reputation.
If the Book of Ten Thousand Laws' power could be deciphered, then the broken God Equipment sword that Rorschach had pieced together bit by bit contained something that Rorschach truly couldn't understand.
"Indestructible? Isn't this sword already broken? Why isn't it destroyed? "
Rorschach was rather confused. However, he could sense that this broken sword's power was so compatible with his own.
For a moment, he hesitated. Even though he knew that this sword was likely a trap, perhaps because he recalled the familiar name of this sword, he had always kept it by his side and even used his soul to nourish it.
Even though it clearly didn't have any power for Rorschach to use, Rorschach still had to spend extra mana on it … Rorschach had persisted for so many years, but this sword still hadn't changed at all.
Sometimes, no, most of the time, Rorschach even forgot about this God Equipment's existence, even though it was clearly always by his side.
But from today onwards, he would never be able to forget about it …
"Roland … Sword …"
