Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1475: Chapter 380: This World Is Far Too Abstract_4

Completely opposite to the Righteous Path cultivation system, the realm’s numerical requirements are the same, but each realm is associated with the amount of debt.

Their growth core is to leverage strength through debt, converting potential future into current cultivation base ahead of time.

Choosing the path of the Demon Cultivator means that wealth cannot be accumulated through conventional means for advancement.

They need to sign contracts with other forces, even representing the "Golden Power Heavenly Dao" of the Golden Power Rule.

Using borrowed wealth for realm breakthroughs.

Debt and cultivation base are completely bound.

The borrowed wealth is forcibly injected into the demon cultivator’s body, forming a Demon Core.

The strength of the Demon Core is equal to the total amount of debt.

For example: a demon cultivator with 1 million wealth in debt has combat power equivalent to a righteous cultivator with 1 million wealth.

And the growth ability of the demon cultivator completely depends on their borrowing capacity.

Constantly prove their own value by enhancing strength, making their output sufficient to cover the demon cultivator’s consumption.

Therefore, demon cultivators plunder more crazily than conventional cultivators, with an ever-present risk of igniting a "debt bomb" behind them.

Their cultivation system also has six realms, which are:

Demon Possession Stage (Debt 100,000 - 1,000,000): Credit cashing, small loans.

Demon Soldier Stage (Debt 1,000,000 - 10,000,000): Multiple borrowing, using loans to sustain other loans.

Demon General Stage (Debt 10,000,000 - 100,000,000): Establishing shell forces, issuing junk bonds.

Demon General Stage (Debt 10,000,000,000 - 250,000,000,000): Shorting the market.

Demon Emperor Stage (Debt 1,000,000,000 - 10,000,000,000,000): Hijacking civilization’s economy.

Transcendance Tribulation Stage (Debt 10,000,000,000,000+): Facing the creditor tribulation of the Golden Power Rule; if one can transcend without dying, they can condense the debt Dao fruit.

The growth mechanism exclusive to demon cultivators is more complex than the Righteous Path.

The advantage is that the cultivation speed is very fast, allowing one to advance future wealth in advance, only needing to pay interest to the Golden Power Heavenly Dao or other institutions to quickly snowball growth.

As long as interest can be repaid, the borrowed principal becomes strength.

But each realm of the demon cultivator has the risk of tribulation.

For example, when the "Bad Debt Heart Demon" appears, it requires the demon cultivator to enhance borrowing ability to resist debt backlash.

If a bankruptcy death tribulation occurs, and the debt defaults and breaks, one will directly die and disappear.

To cultivate an "Undying Gold Body," it requires surviving layer upon layer of debt tribulations in the growth process.

In Bao Yan’s view, this world is too abstract.

Conventional cultivators and demon cultivators are divided into two factions, balancing each other.

Righteous cultivators rely on steady plundering and accumulating wealth cultivation base, while demon cultivators use debt leverage to enhance cultivation base.

The former despises the latter for overdrawing the future, while the latter ridicules the former for inefficiency.

But in essence, both are plunderers; the difference is only between being steady and aggressive, and together they maintain the unique ecology of the Golden Power Civilization living by plundering.

Conflicts often erupt between the two sides over interests.

Every battle is a contest of various numerical values.

The collision of numerical sizes can instantly determine the battle outcome.

If the value is 10% higher than the opponent, the opponent will be lightly wounded, and their value will temporarily drop partially.

If the value is 30% higher than the opponent, it will moderately hurt the opponent, causing them to bleed, making them unable to mobilize full strength in a short time.

If it is 60% higher, the opponent will suffer a heavy blow instantly, temporarily halving their value, losing the ability to resist.

Once the value gap breaks through 80%, the side with lower value will be crushed by an invisible force on the spot, disintegrating into golden light scattered everywhere.

And the slain cultivators, whether righteous or demon cultivators, their corpses will not remain.

They will be swept into the fissures constructed by the Golden Power Rule at the moment of death, sending them to the Golden Power Tower in the city center.

Thoroughly refining the corpse.

The wealth of righteous cultivators, the debt of demon cultivators, will be converted into pure numerical energy, absorbed by the ultimate victor.

For example, after a hundred-person melee ends, the leader of the victorious side might see the number above their head surge from 5 million to 8 million.

This almost brutal setup of transferring wealth makes every conflict a naked plundering of wealth.

Focusing on "you die, I inherit everything you have."

Even debt can be forcefully liquidated and converted by the victor.

This process is also the process in which the Golden Power Rule produces derivative energy.

Wealth is power.

Listening to the guidance narrative, Bao Yan was indeed shocked by this abstract civilization system.

They say that the Exploration Faction can see all kinds of weirdness outside.

But this world, which uses wealth value as cultivation base and directly simplifies combat into numerical crushing, still refreshed his understanding of "weirdness."

Compared to the combat power measurement model of Monster World, this is thousands of times more complex.

Corp structure, rule strength, the number of rules, combat skills... here, most forces systems were eliminated, drawing other civilizations into its rules for battles.

Theoretically, as long as the Golden Power Rule is stronger than the rules controlled by other forces.

They can use this "absolute logic" model to directly crush and win.

For example, when the Golden Power Civilization goes to Monster World, a war breaks out with other civilization forces.

This war will also be simplified from a legion confrontation to a civilization wealth total contest.

At the start of the battle, they show each other the total wealth amount, the Golden Power Rule conducts wealth weighing, then let the side with lower comprehensive wealth explode on site.

Hearing this, Bao Yan curiously asked a question:

"Brother Guide, if the other side has stronger rules, can they counter this civilization warfare mode that compares wealth?"

Facing the inquiry, Guide nodded:

[Correct, but not necessarily, having rules and mastering rules are two different things, the forces with rules, you can refer to the Dragon Wing Clan which is discussed a lot on the forums recently, they possess rules and use rules, but mastering rules refers to integrating with rules, players, Black Tide, Insect Race, Blue Lantern Clan, Shuyan... forces like these all master rules, each individual possesses rule characteristics, such forces do not have the possibility of being drawn into the domain of the Golden Power Rule for warfare by its logic way.]
