#468 - Chapter 457: The Division of Divine Ranks
The evaluation of the God-level, though somewhat unique, is not complex.
It is graded based on the strength of the divine substance.
According to the information Jiang Han had previously encountered, it ranged from first to fifth order.
However, what Lucifer said went far beyond that, and whether this was due to different classification methods, or whether God-level itself had so many levels, was a matter of great importance.
“Fifth order?”
Hearing this, Lucifer smiled and shook his head, "Since the concept of 'God-level' existed, the ninth order has been recognized as the top. As for the fifth order you mentioned…"
He thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's because the divine substance has become scarce, making it difficult for beings to cross into the sixth order and above."
“Why is it specifically difficult to cross into the sixth order?” Jiang Han asked.
Lucifer explained, "I don't know if you've heard the saying that there are differences even among God-levels?"
“Of course, the distinction between strong and weak among those at the God-level is so obvious that it may be even greater than the difference between them and those who are not at the God-level,” Jiang Han said.
“To put it more specifically, the gap between the sixth and fifth orders is extremely huge.”
Lucifer smiled, "The sixth order, in that distant era, was called the threshold for top experts, and also the Upper God-level, considered to be truly entering the hall of fame."
“So those False Gods are all sixth order or above?” Jiang Han asked thoughtfully.
“That's right.”
Lucifer nodded, "Therefore, this group can be said to be blessed by heaven. It's not without reason that they are so arrogant."
“They?”
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow and voiced a question that had been hidden in his heart, "The name Lucifer should also belong to the 'False Gods,' right? Are you unwilling to associate with them?"
“I neither disdain them, nor am I essentially the same as them.”
Lucifer said, "The reason I am called Lucifer is because the first False God I slaughtered, and also the most powerful one, was Lucifer."
“So that's how it is.”
Jiang Han nodded somewhat surprised, "I thought the angel race should belong to the False God category. I didn't expect the origin of your name to involve these things."
“Then what order was the original Lucifer?"
“At the beginning of his birth, he was an eighth-order existence,” Lucifer said, "Among the False Gods, he was also a transcendent existence. If he could live to this day, he would have grown even stronger."
“Perhaps, he could have crossed into the ninth order.”
“Born as an eighth order?” Jiang Han's eyelids twitched, "Are there other such existences among the False Gods?"
“Of course, there are.” Lucifer nodded, "There's nothing to be surprised about. Among the False God group, there are at least three who were born as eighth order."
“In other words, there should be a ninth-order existence among the current False Gods,” Jiang Han's expression was solemn. Anun was already extremely powerful, but he was clearly not the leader of the False Gods.
Then how strong would the ninth order above that be?
The foundation of this race is indeed unfathomable.
“Not should be, it's inevitable.”
Lucifer said indifferently, "Otherwise, they would have lived in vain for so many years."
“But this is not surprising. In many worlds, there are even more peculiar existences, such as your few pet beasts.”
Lucifer reached out and pointed to the three Myth-grade pet beasts behind Jiang Han, his eyes full of emotion, "They, as long as they grow completely, will inevitably be terrifying ninth-order God-level existences."
“In that case, in terms of rank, the fully grown Little Grey and the others are even above you?” Jiang Han said with a smile.
“In terms of rank alone, that is indeed the case.”
Lucifer did not deny it, "However, if we talk about overall strength, that's another matter."
His face was filled with absolute confidence and arrogance, "The height of the rank is not absolute strength. External objects are also very important."
“That's true.”
Jiang Han nodded. Not to mention anything else, equipment has a huge impact on strength.
The amount of divine substance is just a foundation. As for how much this foundation can be expanded, it completely depends on individual differences.
Moreover, skills are also crucial.
Other pet beasts, even if they have the same stats as Little Grey, Little Luo, and Little Saint, will have vastly different damage and defense.
Since Lucifer was able to slaughter a God-level being who was born at the eighth order, he must have something unique.
After all, Brutal Fang is already a high-grade component. The complete Brutal Fang is probably only weaker than Holy Judgement.
“And now the most critical issue is, how can we ensure that these little guys can grow up?”
Lucifer said with a serious expression, "After successively losing two members who can move freely in the outside world, even if the False Gods are arrogant and foolish, they should realize the seriousness of the matter. It wouldn't be surprising if they send out even more powerful forces to kill you."
“That's a matter for the future. At least for now, with the Divine Tree blocking, it's not my turn to worry about it.”
Jiang Han shrugged indifferently.
“The Divine Tree may not be able to completely block those guys.”
Lucifer shook his head and said, "Also…"
As he spoke, he looked at Little Grey, who was still absorbing divine substance and evolving rapidly, "The origin of this giant dragon seems to be quite extraordinary."
“Which of these three little guys is ordinary? They are all Myth-grade pet beasts.” Jiang Han smiled and pointed to Little Grey, Little Luo, and Little Saint.
“Of course I know that, but what I want to say is not this.”
“What is it then?” Jiang Han frowned.
Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Whether it's the Undying Divine Phoenix or the Holy Kirin, they are all top existences. In a very distant era, they also used to be active in the Apocalypse Continent. But this Azure Sky Giant Dragon of yours, I have never seen it before."
“And if I'm not mistaken, its bloodline shouldn't have been so powerful at the beginning, right?”
“That's indeed the case.”
Jiang Han nodded, "However, Little Grey was a Myth-grade pet beast from the beginning. After obtaining the Dragon God's blessing, it further became stronger."
“Dragon God?” Hearing this, Lucifer frowned, "Are you talking about the god that giant dragons believe in?"
“Yes.” Jiang Han nodded.
“This thing actually exists?”
Lucifer frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the distance, as if trying to see through the void to find out the truth hidden behind it.
His heart was filled with doubts and incomprehension, and he murmured to himself: “From the information I have learned, the dragon race does have a powerful power, but compared to mysterious and powerful existences like the Undying Divine Phoenix, their individual strength is indeed slightly inferior. The Dragon Realm once had its own glorious period, but at that time, it relied on the emergence of many top powerhouses from the Holy Judgement lineage to achieve this prosperity. As for the so-called Dragon God…”
“In the end, it's just a symbol, a totem.”
Speaking of this, Lucifer couldn't help but shake his head, seemingly finding this conclusion a little unbelievable. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: “But you just mentioned the word 'blessing'... What exactly does this mean?”
“Perhaps, the blessing has existed from the beginning, which is why the Holy Judgement lineage is so powerful.” Jiang Han speculated, "I once went to a mysterious hall, where there may be a statue of the Dragon God. The power of the blessing was also obtained in the hall."
“This inference is not impossible.” Lucifer said thoughtfully, "However, I always feel that things are not that simple. If you have time, you can go to the Dragon Realm and take a look, maybe you can gain something."
“Do you know the location of the Dragon Realm?” Jiang Han's eyes lit up.
“The Dragon Realm is very mysterious. Apart from the dragon race, no one knows the exact location. However, you can ask it.” Lucifer pointed to Little Grey, "This is something engraved in the bloodline, there will be no mistake."
“I see.”
Jiang Han nodded, "But let's talk about this later. The Dragon Realm is too far away. What I want most now, do you know what it is?"
“What?” Lucifer asked.
“There's still no specific news about the complete Brutal Fang component.” Jiang Han touched his nose, "Didn't you say that this Apocalypse Continent is your backyard…"
Lucifer: “……”
Just say you want to get information from me, don't beat around the bush.
“For this matter, you should ask Asaron specifically.” Lucifer looked at the Apocalypse King.
“Oh…”
Jiang Han suddenly understood, "I forgot about this. You had already explained these things to him when he came last time, right?"
“My Lord.”
At this time, the Apocalypse King Asaron stepped forward. At this moment, the halo on his body had completely dissipated, revealing the true appearance of a six-winged angel, but compared to the previous six-winged fallen angel, he appeared more peaceful.
“The thirteen holy objects, hand them over to Ye Han.” Lucifer ordered indifferently, "He is the true inheritor."
“Yes.”
Asaron nodded. Although it involved valuable objects that he had painstakingly collected, he did not feel displeased at all. He calmly took out a milky white round bead and handed it to Jiang Han.
【Pure White Light】
【Grade: Divine Artifact】
【Description: It was once an important component of a broken object. It seems to have been preserved by some special means. Keeping it may give you the chance to replicate the glory of the Apocalypse one day.】
【Strength +30%, Spirit +30%】
“Divine Artifact?”
Jiang Han took it and looked at it, slightly surprised, not only because of the grade of the bead, but more because of the attribute column.
To be honest, this thing is so weak compared to a Divine Artifact that it's ridiculous. It doesn't even have a skill. It's like a person being cut off from their legs.
“Lucifer.”
Jiang Han put away the Pure White Light and looked at Lucifer with a serious expression, "Do you know why there are only eleven of the twelve constellations now?"
Lucifer was stunned, "What?"
Jiang Han spread his hands and said, "There's no Aquarius!"
Lucifer: “……”
“Even if it's a component, isn't this thing a bit too useless?” Jiang Han sighed softly, "It only has the simplest attribute bonus. Even if you give me a hundred of them, it's nothing… Oh no, at least I can sell them for scrap metal."
“……”
Lucifer continued to be silent, looking at Jiang Han's appearance, he really couldn't help but want to attack.
It's rare to see someone who looks down on Divine Artifacts so much these days.
However, thinking that the latter is so powerful with such a low level of strength, he must have good things on him. This kind of damaged Divine Artifact is indeed not of much help.
“It's true that the components are damaged, but if you have the ability to repair them, I guarantee that the final result will definitely satisfy you.”
Lucifer explained, "After all, that battle involved a wide range, and it's already very good to be able to preserve the core parts."
“I have to repair it myself?” Jiang Han was stunned, "Your other incarnation didn't say that."
“He is him, I am me.” Lucifer glanced at Jiang Han with a contemptuous expression, "Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
“……”
Jiang Han was silent, so this is a scam by incarnations.
“What are the specifics? How to repair it? You should know this, right?” After sorting out his emotions, Jiang Han asked.
Lucifer shook his head.
“Okay, it seems that I can't count on you either.” Jiang Han sighed heavily, "Bring the other components too, I'll find a way myself."
“Arthur…”
Hearing this, Asaron immediately issued instructions to Arthur Lant and others.
Soon, a group of royal court guards handed over the holy objects in their hands.
Including the Pure White Light that Jiang Han got, there were a total of twelve different objects, all of which were Divine Artifact level, and all of them were also damaged.
“Isn't it thirteen? There's still one missing.”
After collecting all the holy objects, Jiang Han looked up at Lucifer.
“The remaining one is naturally with me.”
Lucifer waved his hand gently, and a black staff appeared in his hand.
“Unlike the other twelve holy objects, this staff is a component of the same origin as Brutal Fang.”
He explained softly, "As for the method of repair, it's very simple. When Brutal Fang is completely fused with the beast blood, it will naturally complete self-repair with this staff."
“As for the final form of the weapon, you need to specify it yourself.”
“Can it be specified?” Jiang Han took the staff from Lucifer with curiosity.
“I used more of the magic power at the beginning, so I unlocked the magic form, which is this staff.”
“If you want to transform it into a physical form, just focus on Brutal Fang.” Lucifer said.
“There's no need for that, I think this staff looks pretty good.” Jiang Han said with a smile.
“As you wish.”
Lucifer naturally wouldn't argue with Jiang Han on such details.
He sighed softly, looking at the devastated Barren Canyon, "Using the last foundation of the angel lineage to exchange for a False God is also somewhat valuable."
“As for the rest, I'll leave it to you.”
“I'm looking forward to the day when the False Gods flee.”
“It will.” Jiang Han nodded with a serious expression.
Not to mention that the False Gods seem to be related to his rebirth, just these few feuds are destined that they will not give up.
If the False Gods don't come, he will kill them sooner or later.
However, for the time being, he needs to accumulate strength first.
“Then, goodbye for now.”
Lucifer opened his hands, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his figure turned into dust and slowly dissipated.
And with him disappeared all the fallen angels and Immortal-level BOSS in the canyon.
In just a moment, the entire canyon became extremely silent, as if nothing had happened, only the broken walls and ruins told what a fierce battle had just taken place.
