NOVEL NEXT Chapter 131: Upheaval of the Community (1)
The atmosphere was different from the Community of the past.
ㄴi applied for World! pls let me get in!
ㄴi failed last time and i’m training now. bruh they got nothing but monsters gathered over there idek
ㄴDespite reaching the Profound Realm… I am just Foot Solider No.1 in World. This has me worried.
ㄴme thinks to save karma n apply study in dat Xianxia exchange program dey callin cultivation sanctuary
ㄴBro’s rich…. Apparently u need an insane amount of Karma
ㄴi hear most can’t even afford the entrance fee, and it costs a ton more inside too.
ㄴlmfao karma refusing to accumulate. gotta cut down on food expenses prolly
ㄴHow can you resist chicken?
ㄴikrㄴSMH u Hopeless
ㄴBy the way, I heard someone hit the jackpot in World recently?
A whole new world had opened up to them, in every sense.
Too strong and bored? Feeling listless from the lack of worthy opponents? Nothing left to do after achieving all your desires?
The moment they stepped into World, they realized: There’s always someone stronger out there.
ㄴooly shet!
ㄴNothing but crazy bishes here….
ㄴi swer to god those Kaiju tho….
ㄴHAAH. almost died today when my immortality ability broke. accepting questions
ㄴIt feels like yesterday I was revered as an Archmage. Here I’m just a utility worker who can do some odd jobs.
ㄴ…I miss the peaceful times.
Some were curious.
ㄴthen why go there?
ㄴcan’t you just play king comfortably in your own world?
Certainly, some did exactly that. But it was a different story for Transcendents.
Those who reached the pinnacle of their worlds often fell victim to boredom. Usually, such powerful individuals had long lifespans, which made it all the worse.
Perspective shifts depending on where you stand.
For those who had already become the strongest, the weight of that boredom was something an ordinary person could hardly comprehend. Who could deny this?
Think about their path to the top: tireless effort, fierce determination, meticulous planning, endurance, achievements. When individuals like that suddenly lose all sense of purpose…
ㄴ…it wouldn’t be bad to pass away like this.
ㄴnow I’m treated like a retired old geezer
ㄴAlmost started a war just by saying a few words.
For them, the battlefield of the new universe World was nothing short of welcome news. Even if there were Transcendents who wished to remain frogs in a well.
ㄴyall gonna b bottom-feeding laborers wen oradge-sensei unifies the dimensions later
ㄴyeh Profound Realm cultivators will work farms and Archmages doin civil work~
ㄴthe noobs weaker than me r gonna be my superiors? ainnofckingway
If they were the type to grow complacent and soft, they would not have made it to the top in the first place.
Furthermore, this change within the Community was not limited to those confident in strength.
ㄴanyone taken the basic martial arts theory lecture? me don understand, can someone do tutor? will pay Karma
ㄴThe level of online lectures is insane. The martial arts in our world are basically all half-assed shit….
ㄴGraduated from the Magic Tower, now taking courses from the basics again.
ㄴrecommend me a dual cultivation instructor plz
ㄴo the succubus instructors are the real deal for dat
ㄴBRUH it woulda been hell without Oradge’s tuition support
ㄴLet’s work hard. That’s how we survive.
A wave of studying fever swept through the beginners.
-Metallurgy Taught By Your Top-Class Dwarf Instructor.
-Movement Lectures Even Third-Rate Swordsmen Can Understand, Taught By Unrestrained Realm Expert
–You Can Learn Magic From A Dragon? Enroll Right Now.
-The Intricacies Of Dual Cultivation: The Succubus Way (Not porn!)
Individual lectures popped up, and naturally, the instructors taught diligently—if only for the Karma. Plus….
ㄴOh, I think my lecture got registered in the Archive.
ㄴwoah congratulations.
ㄴThe royalties must be sweet…. So jelly.
ㄴif you open 3 Archive courses, Xianxia exchange is totally possible.
ㄴIsn’t that place… only for nobles even in the Community?
ㄴwell as long as u can get in, u’ll be in for a rags-to-riches story 100%
ㄴLet’s crack the Archive bros
ㄴHere’s a tip. First of all, you guys tend to explain difficult things in your own way, but that’s not the way. You gotta structure the lecture so even beginners can understand easily.
ㄴEasy for beginners to understand… noted.
ㄴayo who doesn’t know that huh
ㄴthen don’t follow the advice -.-
ㄴthe easier it is to understand, the higher the Archive royalties. work hard bruhs
The newly opened Archive was a Community Library certified by the Galactic Empire, which was Oradge’s home base.
The theories and lectures available were somewhat pricey, but their stability and effectiveness were guaranteed. On top of that, the Galactic Empire offered substantial bonuses—sometimes several times the tuition fee—based on the quality and quantity of lectures registered in the Archive.
When the Archive first launched, it caused quite a stir in the community.
ㄴmadshit lol they gon make all that public?
ㄴYou can acquire a Transcendent’s lifetime of knowledge for some Karma?
ㄴlez not misunderstand. being able to read it is different from acquiring it.
ㄴbut why they making this public? I mean it’s good for me
ㄴdunno. guess its nothing special to oradge
ㄴThe Archive knowledge level is hell. It’s not easy to understand with average talent. Don’t waste your Karma.
ㄴBut you can’t give up because if you find something that suits you well, you won’t ever get that lucky elsewhere.
ㄴIt’s almost free.
ㄴThe Karma cost isn’t exactly free….
ㄴu think that money is a waste to learn all that? r u insane?
ㄴLose the beggar mentality kids. The strongest in your world couldn’t hear these lectures even if they wanted to.
ㄴwhy they releasing this at such low price?
ㄴThe royalties are no joke, isn’t the rental fee not enough to cover it?
ㄴisn’t this kind of knowledge monopolized normally?
It’s not like they’re doing charity work, so why release such valuable knowledge? To what end? Just imagine the benefits of monopolizing that alone….
Yet Oradge went ahead with the massive public release, as if those gains meant nothing.
ㄴWow, Oradge’s generosity in releasing all this….
ㄴOradge is the light and salt of my life!
ㄴSimply light.
ㄴurgh! can’t open my eyes!
ㄴpraise da oradge!
ㄴPraise him!
ㄴWe shall now have an Oradge praise session.
ㄴO-men.
ㄴO-men.
Now, Oradge had ascended to the realm of the sacrosanct.
Above all, this allowed others to indirectly grasp the sheer power of the Galactic Empire.
ㄴIn the field of scientific theory… no, the Archive is just the truth of the universe.
ㄴits rumored the empire only uploaded knowledge that matches our level.
ㄴI’m the Dwarf Grand Chieftain. Even understanding the engineering basics was difficult.
ㄴwth is the galactic empire even….
ㄴcan oradge handle it if community users get stronger through the Archive?
ㄴye. even if we master all that, we can’t even reach the toes of the Galactic Empire.
What kind of place is the Galactic Empire to release such knowledge almost for free? How strong must they be? It was difficult to even imagine.
And as for Oradge, his true intentions remained a mystery.
ㄴweren’t they preparing for dimensional invasion?
ㄴget ur facts straight. with that difference in power, it’s not invasion just picking up new territory
ㄴActually we’d be grateful if they came. May the Galactic Empire descend upon us!
Judging by his actions, it looked like he was planning a dimensional invasion, yet now he was trying to nurture the Community users? What was he really up to?
Everyone could not help but be curious.
But as for the man in question…
“Yeah, no. I’m just going to play.”
[Oh, for heaven’s sake! I beg of you please! It is high time you dedicated yourself to puppetry!]
“Nope, I’m already doing what I need to do.”
[It is meaningless unless you reach the Nascent Soul Stage!]
“Oh yes, yet I already conquered a Xianxia world at just Core Formation.”
[Argh!]
He was busy messing around with a certain eccentric.
***Of course, Karlstein was not just idling around.
-What have you done… that is the history and essence of our sect!
-Stop! I would rather you trample me than—Gack!
-Hoho. A new era is coming. Instead of extorting, you are sharing the knowledge and techniques you have gained. As a Daoist, I have no reason to stop you.
-Hahaha! It’s over now! The cultivation world will perish!!
His first move was unifying the Xianxia world. It was effortless.
“Huh? They’re not listening?”
Click.
“What? You see signs of rebellion? Maxien! Deploy!”
“…”
Nothing was impossible for Karlstein. Furthermore…
“Really? That’s not difficult. We’re fellow disciples, after all.”
“I’ll serve you as my elder brother!!”
“Th-thank you!”
He even took care of the bald middle-aged man and the calm girl who could be considered his fellow disciples from the Flame Metal Sect.
“So, Senior Sister Zhang. What did your family say?”
“Uh, well…”
“It’s okay. Speak comfortably.”
“…Thanks.”
He also solved Senior Sister Zhang’s complicated family matters in his own way.
“If you feel they’re causing trouble again, let me know anytime.”
“Mhm…”
Ironically, it was the family members who sought refuge under her wing that perplexed her.
-Make him yours no matter what!
-Push him down!
-Get him in bed first!
Of course, these details were kept secret from Karlstein.
“Anyway, looks like things are settled here too.”
[Hmph…. Had you been serious about cultivation, becoming a True Immortal would have been nothing.]
“You think I’ve just been playing around? Don’t you worry none. I’m running an analysis in my home base for now.”
[Haah… That is not how cultivation works!]
Yeah, it is.
“Tsk-tsk. Everything should be done efficiently.”
[No…! How can you treat understanding the Heavenly Dao in such a manner…!]
“Nope. You wrong.”
[G-gah!]
Unlike a certain old man, Karlstein was achieving satisfactory results in his own way.
