The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 571 - Fleecing

On the fifty-fifth floor, Han Wu was gripping a massive log and performing squats, surrounded by numerous Heroic Ratmen. Despite their rank, they were extremely fast, and it took Han Wu considerable time and effort to kill them all.

A strange energy permeated the fifty-fifth floor. As one moved through this space, that energy blended their muscles, strengthening them. This was the reason that Han Wu was performing squats while carrying a huge log.

Midway through his squats, a thought struck him. If training alone produced only a fixed level of improvement, why not multiply the effect? What would happen if he had his avatars train here at the same time?

He activated Avatar Creation, and numerous avatars appeared around him. Under the pressure of the floor, all of them were pinned to the ground and unable to move. Even so, their cells continued to function without pause.

Their breathing turned rapid. As their muscles became stronger, they managed to lift themselves enough to sit upright. From there, they started doing slow, deliberate exercises. Each avatar served as another vessel capable of absorbing the strange energy here.

Han Wu pushed things to the limit and turned the 126 Martial Castes into 126 additional avatars. With that, he maximized the absorption rate and began to grow stronger at an exponential pace.

When his avatars had absorbed enough energy to move freely in this area, he realized that they couldn’t absorb any more. It felt as though each vessel had reached its absolute capacity.

Han Wu waited until all of them reached this state before recalling them. The accumulated energy surged back into him, and his own figure expanded until he stood thirty meters tall. In this condition, his speed, strength, and even stamina increased tens of times their former levels.

On the fifty-fifth floor, where the crushing pressure immobilized other creatures, he could fly around with ease.

At that moment, he realized that he had found a loophole through Avatar Creation. What would happen if he repeated the process and sent all of his avatars through floors fifty-one to fifty-four? What effects would it produce, and how strong would he become?

Han Wu was a man of action and dispatched his avatars to the previous four floors to test the idea. Meanwhile, the two most powerful avatars of his Divine Jurisdictions headed to the fifty-sixth floor.

...

Xu Hai had just returned to his divine realm when he sensed the same presence lock onto him again. It was time for another reward.

He was jovial because he had chosen the right person as his student. Han Wu hadn’t even graduated yet, and he had already found ways to provide him with rare resources.

The gate opened like last time, but this time the result was very different. Hundreds of gift boxes burst forth simultaneously, almost knocking him unconscious.

Even after the gate closed, he was reeling from the shock. He looked at the pile of gift boxes at his feet and wondered whether the World life forms who had organized the Heaven Stair Challenge had made a mistake.

Maybe they are all empty? He activated his Eyes of Wisdom and inspected the boxes. All of them contained a complete Law! Meanwhile, the contents of the notes kept changing over time.

“Esteemed World expert, your representative has shown excellent results in the Heaven Stair Challenge. We sent you this gift to encourage them to work hard.”

“Esteemed World expert, your representative has shown incredible results in the Heaven Stair Challenge. We sent you this gift to encourage continued diligence.”

“Esteemed World expert, your representative has shown overwhelming results in the Heaven Stair Challenge. We sent you this gift to rein them in slightly.”

...

The twentieth note read, “Esteemed World expert, your representative is in a frenzy. Please stop him.”

...

The thirtieth note read, “Esteemed World expert, your representative... No, that young master. Please ask him to rest. Please.”

...

The 108th note read, “The Heaven Stair Challenge is about to be fleeced to nothingness by him. Take him away!”

...

The 172nd note read, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Heaven Stair Challenge has ended prematurely. Esteemed World expert, you and your representative are banned from all future participation and have been placed on the blacklist. The next Heaven Stair Challenge will be delayed for 1,000 years.”

Xu Hai felt his heart pound. What had Han Wu done inside the challenge to fleece so many Laws? In fact, the organizers had even pleaded for him to stop.

Han Wu drained the Heaven Stair Challenge so thoroughly that it had to end ahead of schedule, and the next one would be delayed for another 1,000 years.

What did he do? Xu Hai was still searching for an answer when Han Wu sent him a message.

“Sir, I got kicked out. The Heaven Stair Challenge’s organizers told me to get lost and then tossed me a medal. Could you help me check what this thing does?” Han Wu sounded panicked.

After Xu Hai obtained permission, he was transported into Han Wu’s divine realm. Shock washed over him when he saw Han Wu. The latter was a Heavenrender life form before he entered, so why was he now a Sage life form?

He quickly inspected Han Wu’s condition and confirmed that he hadn’t split into several avatars. This was his true body.

Han Wu quickly handed the medal to Xu Hai. “Sir, could you see what this thing does? I can’t decipher it at all.”

Xu Hai used the Eyes of Wisdom to check the medal, and an overwhelming torrent of information appeared before him.

“What the fuck?” Xu Hai blurted out.

“Sir, is it really that bad?” Han Wu assumed that the medal was so useless that it had driven Xu Hai to curse.

Xu Hai looked at him enviously. “No, you dolt. This is an amazing treasure!”

“A treasure?” Han Wu echoed. “I can’t even tell what that was.”

Xu Hai explained, “Only World life forms can use this. You can’t perceive all of its effects yet.”

“I see. What is it used for?”

Xu Hai turned serious. “Anchoring the world.”

“What does that mean?” Han Wu wasn’t a World life form, so the concept was unfamiliar to him.

Xu Hai elaborated patiently, “You use this after becoming a World life form and creating your own Microcosm. It renders your Microcosm invulnerable to external forces, and nothing outside can destroy it.

“Then, with your divine realm’s special properties, once you merge the two, your divine realm will also become permanently anchored. Outside forces will no longer be able to destroy it. In other words, you now possess an incredibly tough Core.”

Han Wu immediately grasped the medal’s true value.
