Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Spreading the Greatness of the Emperor
Only a magician can understand the true significance of “creation.”
If so-called technology is essentially the pursuit and application of the truths of the material universe, then the magic road is the pursuit and application of the truths of magical power.
All creation, all application, is built upon this infinitely vast, endless truth that seems to hold limitless possibilities.
But what did he see?
The Chosen One, known as “Emperor,” actually created a truth that clearly belonged to himself?
Even if the end goal of the transcendent is truly to follow such a path, is this really something the current Chosen Ones could achieve?
In this moment, Leman finally seemed to realize the level of that supreme Emperor Wu Shang!
Although he had long since elevated him infinitely high, regarding him as far beyond the ordinary Chosen One, even a divine being, it was not until now that he truly understood the depths of his existence.
We can win!
Even if it costs half of the Chosen Ones and half of the magicians, the next trial of the Sky Spirit Civilization is not easy to get through, but at least for now, the Sky Spirit Civilization can continue to survive!
Moreover, the mere thought of the culture and history of the Sky Spirit People continuing alongside human civilization in the Civilization Trial filled Leman with immense joy.
He was not certain whether human civilization could continue indefinitely within the Civilization Trial, but without a doubt, their chances of continuing were far greater than any civilization he could imagine!

“Spread the imprint and the grandeur of Emperor Wu Shang! Pass it on to every Sky Spirit Warrior!” commanded Leman.
If everyone could master such powerful magic, even with only this one aid, the hope of defeating the undead would greatly increase.
However, what Leman didn’t know was that the imprint’s powerful effect wasn’t solely due to its own abilities.
After all, the control of significant power becomes more difficult; to wield such strength with a weak life level inevitably comes at a greater cost.
This is a universal rule for most Extraordinary Systems.
However, this kind of cost was shared by Shen Hao.
Yes, in the underlying settings of the [Emperor’s Seal], Shen Hao endowed the Sky Spirit Planet with more strength, borrowing a trace of power from himself for every use of the seal to satisfy its operational rules, making it simpler.
“Thank goodness I have advanced to the third stage,” Shen Hao whispered, “Otherwise, it would have been difficult to meet the needs of the Sky Spirit People.”
His basic strength had grown considerably over the past ten or so days.
After all, the past ten days have been the fastest-growing stage in the entire human civilization.
The integration of various species and the rapid assimilation of technologies from various fields, including the rewards from the newly acquired civilization ranking, have greatly increased the strength of human civilization and enhanced its foundation.
This indirectly accelerated the growth rate of Shen Hao’s strength.
Although he has not yet reached Level 22, he is actually very close; with the addition of equipment and potions, his current actual strength is nearly comparable to that of an ordinary Chosen One at the fourth stage.
This was not Shen Hao’s own belief but the judgment of Erin Ellie.
“Erin, you and your twin should also go to support the Sky Spirit Planet,” Shen Hao ordered Erin Ellie.
“Yes,” Erin’s eyes lit up.
She is a Golden Legend follower, but aside from initially healing some injured and later assisting in capturing some undead, her greater contribution is providing intelligence about the Civilization Trial?
She is a warrior!
She is also the strongest force in the entire civilization next to her master!
Indeed, as a Golden Legend, Erin Ellie’s greatest assets are her potential for growth and her ability to quickly recover.
Her level has now reached Level 20, and she is just a hair’s breadth away from Level 21, which signifies the third stage!
“I will send you directly to the battlefield,” said Shen Hao.
He suddenly thought of this theoretically strongest subordinate because a battlefield of the Sky Spirit Civilization had actually reached a very dangerous situation.
That was where Qiuyue was.
A massive city with a population of 30 million people.
Named Idris.
The Sky Spirit People seem to like building such large-scale cities with massive populations, which added a lot of conveniences for them in the early stages of the Civilization Trial; after all, creating one huge magic barrier is more efficient than creating several of average size.
But now, it has become a nightmare for the Sky Spirit People.
“Another one has been destroyed!”
Qiuyue received another piece of bad news.
This was the fifth one since the last communication cut off.
There are only four hundred thirty-two magic array nodes in the entire city of Idris. The sudden outbreak of the undead had directly destroyed nearly fifty, and now, within just these few short minutes, another five had been destroyed.
This had caused the strength of the city’s magic barrier to drop sharply.
The temperature in the city has been declining steadily.
It has reached a point that even the average citizens cannot bear.
What’s worse, once more than one quarter of the nodes are destroyed, the magic barrier will become difficult to sustain! The terrifying cold wave would engulf the entire city in just one minute, snatching away the lives of 30 million Sky Spirit People in a single breath!
“Tell me the most dangerous node!” Qiuyue said swiftly.
“The direction has been marked,” her deputy, a female cultivator with excellent talent, quickly replied. “There, there is a Level 16 Ghost King!”
“Level 16…” Qiuyue took a deep breath.
Her current level was Level 18 and, with her powerful foundation, a mere Level 16 Ghost King was no match for her.
But she deeply understood how immense her advantage was!
It was the result of her elder brother’s high Store Level and his relentless training.
The most powerful Chosen One of the entire Sky Spirit People, her sister Amamin, had taken the Extraordinary Path from an early age and was only at Level 16 even now!
A Ghost King of this level, along with a vast and powerful Undead Army, would be difficult to resist—not just for the Sky Spirit Magicians, but even for the supporting Legion from Human Civilization.
“Wind!” exhaling a breath, Qiuyue was enveloped in a substantial gale that wrapped around her increasingly tall stature, hurtling towards the target in a howling rush, her skin hinting layers of Dragon Armor as she instantly reached supersonic speed!
Her Purple Epic profession, the “Wind Dragon Boxer”, possessed the bloodline of a wind dragon, a Boxer.
Endowed with a powerful physical body, tremendous strength, and control over wild winds!
Although it appeared to be a close-combat profession, in reality, it was a bona fide “Magic” profession.
She was like a supersonic missile, as soon as she saw the massive convergence of Undead, she crashed into them fiercely.
Boom——!
The violent winds burst forth like a blade’s edge in an instant, with the magic power carrying the force of her punches instantly reaping a swath of the Undead.
However, Qiuyue’s youthful face was filled with gravity.
There was no great joy to be found.
Because there were too many of them!
Apart from the Level 16 Ghost King she had just conveniently killed with one strike, the other Undead were far too numerous.
She might still be too late!
However, when Qiuyue scanned the battlefield, she found that this magic node still existed!
Because the familiar Golden lightning permeated the battlefield!
But that was not the attention from her brother; it came from the hands of Sky Spirit People Magicians!
“By Emperor Wu Shang’s Order!” these Sky Spirit People abandoned all their spells, fervently chanting what seemed to be a prayer or a magic spell, converting their magic power into streaks of golden lightning, mercilessly striking the Undead around them without holding back!
With their original magic power quality, even killing an Undead of the same level would have been difficult.
But now, just one hit could effortlessly annihilate an Undead far stronger than themselves!
It was the effect of the power borrowed from Shen Hao, combined with the specific attack of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder!
Qiuyue was somewhat stunned.
It was as if the attack power of all Extraordinary Soldiers had been elevated several levels!
Especially the Sky Spirit Magicians!
After all, the legions from Human Civilization would use various weapons and equipment and would not rely solely on their own Extraordinary Power, but the Sky Spirits believe in magic, and their use of equipment is mainly magic wands; under this Imprint, the enhancement they gained was extremely evident!
Every bit of their magic power, every bit of their spiritual power, could be maximized in output!
“There’s hope!” Joy bloomed on Qiuyue’s face.
She had thought that unless her brother took action, it would be very difficult to hold the city.
But she never expected her brother’s power to have reached such a level already.
“It’s like Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s hurried decrees!” Qiuyue’s deputy exclaimed in the communication, “Moreover, we humans seem not to need to recite any spells.”
“Why not recite? Building an Imprint takes some time anyways,” Qiuyue also stretched out her palm, trying for the first time to construct this unique Imprint of her brother’s.
But with just a thought, the Imprint formed at an incredibly fast pace!
Then, with a light flick.
Boom boom boom——!
Dazzling golden thunder burst forth from the palm of her hand, in an instant blasting open, with countless Undead screaming as they vanished.
This left Qiuyue with widened eyes.
“I forgot to say,” the deputy also seemed frightened by the scene, swallowing noticeably before explaining, “It seems the ‘Direct’ can borrow power directly from the President; not only that, but the ‘Divine Gifted’ can also borrow a portion.”
Yes, Shen Hao had clearly differentiated the usage rules of the Imprint!
Without any of his power, merely using the Imprint under his permission, assisted by a sliver of his power, and directly borrowing his power for output were made into distinct levels.
