Chapter 827 – The Ninth Rank

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Charlie’s experience could prove that a person’s achievements were related to their talent and the environment around them.

For someone like Charlie to advance in the World of Gods and reach the Sixth Rank, his talent was definitely top-notch and not something an ordinary person could compare to.

But even such a person could not continue to advance in a dense environment. In this aspect, the World of Gods was obviously very bad. This was because it was a world where gods occupied everything.

In that world, the gods occupied all the fields and left deep marks in every aspect. Even though the gods had disappeared for tens of thousands of years, the traces they left behind still hindered the world’s progress in every aspect.

Just like the Cardo Empire under the God of Shadows, the existence of gods suppressed the development of other forces in every aspect.

Of course, the World of Gods did not seem to have reached that level of despair. However, this was not because the World of Gods was different, but because there was no god who could suppress everything in the World of Gods.

Because there were more than many gods in the World of Gods, and there were enemies like the Abyss. That was why there were gaps in the World of Gods, which allowed the people who lived there to achieve some developments. Otherwise, the final result would not be any different from the Cardo Empire.

Charlie was in such an environment, yet he could still achieve such achievements. This was evidence of how amazing Charlie was and how much potential he had.

But this was not an outcome that was worth being proud of. When he came to this world, the suppression of the environment disappeared. Everything returned to normal, and Charlie’s talent could be fully displayed in the brand-new environment of the Primogenitor World.

But even so, he also realized his own limits. In the past, Charlie had always thought that his talent was absolutely top-notch. He did not dare to say that it was comparable to the past gods, but at least it was among the most top-notch individuals.

However, after arriving in this world, he finally realized what it meant that there was always a higher mountain outside. He felt inferior when compared to Jameson and Chris.

One had to know that he had started early in the field of mages. He was a noble mage when he was in the World of Gods. After obtaining the identity of a transmigrator, he traveled through many worlds, witnessing and obtaining many things.

His accumulation was extremely rich; compared to others, he embarked on this path early on. But even so, he was still surpassed by others. Whether it was Jameson or Chris, both of them made him feel defeated.

He had never come into contact with relevant information and knowledge in the past, but after these two people embarked on this path, each of them was more terrifying.

One had created a brand-new path called the Elemental Knight, while the other had also opened up the path of the Bloodline Mage. They were undoubtedly the ultimate talents, no matter which world they were in.

And now, the gap was even more obvious. Chris was already close to the Ninth Rank level. He estimated that he would be able to complete the advancement this time and reach that level. Although Jameson’s progress was a little slow, he was still close behind. He was always trailing behind Chris.

On the other hand, Charlie’s initial strength was clearly above Jameson’s, but now he had been surpassed by Jameson. This was complicated. However, no matter how complicated his feelings were, he still had to do what he had to do.

In the end, Charlie was no longer the young man he was. To him, there were too many offsets in the world. Putting everything else aside, what could he achieve even if he was better than both Chris and Jameson?

What was he compared to someone who could tear apart the primogenitors with his bare hands and treat the Abyss as a cafeteria?

Thinking about it, all the dissatisfaction was balanced. All the dissatisfaction in the world was essentially a sign of powerlessness. Charlie was already used to this feeling.

So he quickly adjusted his state of mind and prepared to observe Chris’ movements. For the people around him, Chris’promotion this time was very important.

This was the first time in this world that he had attempted to advance from the Eighth Rank to the Ninth Rank. With the Primogenitor World’s strength, there were naturally Ninth Rank powerhouses in the past.

Not only that but there were also quite a number of them. However, these Ninth Rank powerhouses were the products of the bloodline power. They had directly inherited the power of the primogenitor and not from their hard work.

Thus, they could not give others a way to learn from them. After all, this path relied on reincarnation techniques and had nothing to do with them. Moreover, this path was no longer valid after Chen Heng sealed the power contained within the bloodline power.

Under such circumstances, Chris’ attempt appeared to be quite important. Whether he succeeded or failed, he would point out the way for everyone present and bring them new inspiration.

“Do you guys think he will succeed?”

A voice came from the side. Chris looked up and saw an old man dressed neatly in a straight suit.

The old man’s temperament looked very peaceful. There was no trace of the terrifying appearance of a top existence. Instead, he looked like an ordinary old man who was very amiable, making people feel very amiable.

He also wore a pair of glasses on his face. He seemed to have some thoughts. This was Jameson. He had also come this time.

Jameson looked at Chris, who was standing alone in front of him. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Compared to other people, his emotions toward Chris were much more complicated.

After all, he had watched Chris rise, surpass him step by step, and finally throw him away. That feeling was indescribable to those who had not experienced it themselves.

To put it bluntly, if not for Jameson’s rich experience and calm personality, it would have been difficult to figure it out. But no matter how helpless he was, there was nothing he could do.

After all, that was the reality, and it had never changed because of anyone’s thoughts. Moreover, it was not without benefits.

Although the original number one was gone, and now he was constantly being suppressed by others, and there was an extra person at the top, to be honest, this feeling was not bad.

After all, in the process of groping, the most important thing was to find the right direction.

And Chris was always standing in front of Jameson, which naturally allowed Jameson to save a lot of effort in finding the direction and directly analyze and study in Chris’ direction.

Compared to Jameson, Chris was a “young man” who didn’t cause much trouble. From thousands of years ago until now, Chris had never taken the initiative to expand his territory, nor had he ever had the idea of taking over the entire Primogenitor World.

One had to know that with his strength, he could be said to be the number one in the world for a long time. He could achieve this. Excluding the Violet Empire, the Cardo Empire, and a few other factions, the rest of the people would not have the strength to go against Chris.

It could be said that as long as Chris was willing, he could annex Jameson and the others’ factions at any time, taking most of the resources in this world into his hands.

However, he did not do so. He was like a sage who was bent on pursuing the Dao. In his eyes, other than the path ahead, nothing else was worth mentioning.

Of course, this was also the case in reality. As long as one’s strength was high enough, all other things were meaningless and did not count for much. Any force’s resources and glorious inheritance were nothing in the face of naked violence.

Jameson was not the only one who was very clear about this. Even the others present also knew this very well. Chris was even more so. He was once the primogenitor. If his power were at its peak, it would be enough to destroy an enormous world.

What kind of dynasty and what kind of power could enter his eyes? From the moment he awakened his memories, he had only one goal. To strive to explore the path ahead and become a divine existence in this world once again.

As for anything else, it was not important. At least for Chris himself. It was not that he did not have desires, nor was it that he did not have emotions and wants. At the very least, what he wanted was different from others.

Those things that were important in the eyes of the people of this world were completely worthless in Chris’ eyes. If he lost the control of the strong, he might not even be able to stabilize himself for hundreds of years, so what use was there?

“Still… I’ve finally reached this level…”

Chris sighed quietly in his heart. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind. Counting the days, it had been thousands of years since he reincarnated as a mortal.

It had been thousands of years before he had barely touched the boundary of the Ninth Rank. This speed was exaggerated for others but extremely slow for Chris.

For someone as sacred as Chris, even though his aptitude had changed greatly after his reincarnation and he had become much weaker, he shouldn’t have encountered any obstacles before reaching the divine level.

And now, it had taken him so long to reach the Ninth Rank. There were all sorts of factors, but the most important reason was that all the systems in this world were just beginning to be established.

Chris had to work hard to improve himself, and at the same time, he had to explore the path ahead. It was equivalent to both research and practical progress. One could imagine the amount of mental energy required.

Compared to Chris, Charlie at least had the accumulation of the past. Those mage systems that originated from the World of Gods and many things that he had accumulated in other worlds were ready-made and could be directly applied by him.

However, even under such circumstances, he was still no match for Chris and was completely surpassed by Chris. The problem in this was really hard to say. However, it was true that the winner was decided. This was also the reason why Charlie’s feelings were so complicated.

Chris did not care about Charlie’s feelings. Whether it was Jameson or Charlie, they were all the same to the current him.

If anything, Chris had rated Jameson highly. He thought Jameson had the potential to ascend to the divine level. But Chris didn’t think so highly of Charlie.

Maybe Charlie’s talent was already very good in his own eyes. To some extent, it could be considered top-notch. But for Chris, who was once a divine existence, this level was not enough.

His attitude toward Charlie was no different from his attitude toward other people. The treatment was even worse than Aimer and Grissom. At least these two people had an unusual relationship with Chen Heng. Aimer was Chen Heng’s wife and his closest person in this world.

This kind of person was naturally different and worthy of Chris’ attention. As for Charlie, he was just an ordinary follower. There was nothing worth noting about him.

With this thought in mind, Chris quickly turned around and looked forward. At this moment, he was standing on the tallest tower in the world.

The entire tower occupied a large area, and its height was even more astonishing. If one were to calculate carefully, it was probably much more terrifying than the so-called highest peak in this world.

When one stood on the tower and looked at the land beneath their feet, one would have a grand feeling of mountains and rivers flowing into their hands. It was as if the entire world was in their hands, giving birth to all things in this world. It was a unique feeling of being small and humble.

Chris looked at the land beneath his feet and just waited quietly. He had once worked hard and strived for this land.

In the past era, during the ancient times, which had been countless years ago, Chris had fought his way out of countless people to become a primogenitor. Traces of his past could be seen everywhere on this piece of land.

What about the rest?

Chris looked at the land, and his eyes could not help but reveal some realization. In his eyes, the world seemed to have changed. Mountains were no longer mountains, and cities were no longer cities. Everything had changed as if it had returned to its simple nature.

A unique power surged out of his body, circulating in various ways, and began to revolve. A powerful power filled his body, making the body stronger and stronger.

Boom!

Under the solemn gazes of Jameson and the others behind him, Chris’s body began to light up slowly. A powerful aura emerged from his body, shooting straight into the sea of clouds.

Bang!

Unknowingly, thunder suddenly appeared in the sky outside. A lightning bolt suddenly struck down, landing on earth in all directions. The loud rumbling sound continued to be heard, continuously flashing in this place, causing people to be moved.

Behind Chris, the many powerhouses, including Jameson, couldn’t help but react to this. They had already sensed something. They naturally wouldn’t react with their strength because of a mere lightning bolt. The change in Chris’s body caused their expressions to change greatly.

On his body, the aura that originally belonged to the Eighth Rank had already begun to transform again, breaking through to a higher level. And this breakthrough was much more terrifying than what others had imagined.
