Chapter 885: The Rules of the “Prophet”

While Wei Shao and the others were looking at this Global Masters Ranking List, the Weibo account of the young American player “Prophet” Kaisen had already been pinned by the official forum moderators. The “Global Masters Ranking List” and the “Global Eccentrics List” received over ten million clicks and tens of thousands of replies in a short time.
The hype grew even stronger!
The title “Prophet” was quickly mentioned by countless people, and Kaisen became famous overnight.

On the Global Eccentrics List, each entry included a REP record of over 180 minutes, along with a detailed text description spanning tens of thousands of words… Information such as the person’s birthplace, sect, martial arts, internal energy, four innate attributes, cultivation level, mastery of supreme martial arts, as well as their special skills and equipment was all listed in great detail.
Their life stories, reasons for fame, and famous battles in the martial world were also detailed thoroughly!
There was ample reason for each person to be on the list, leaving no room for argument…

Additionally!
The Eccentrics List provided contact channels and application methods for those interested. To be included, one only needed to provide their name and REP data to gain the Prophet’s attention and review… As long as their strength was sufficient, the next eccentric might emerge.

However!
Besides the impressive REP data that could keep people engaged for days and nights, the biggest draw was the “Global Masters Ranking List”. The Prophet stated that the top 100 masters would not be ranked based on the number of enemies killed or reputation, but rather on their overall strength based on equipment, combinations of martial arts, and the most powerful NPC opponents they had defeated in the game:
A full set of 4th-tier legendary weapons earned 1 point;
A full set of 3rd-tier demonic weapons earned 2 points;
A full set of 4th-tier demonic weapons earned 3 points.

For supreme martial arts:
Life-and-Death Realm lightness skills, Life-and-Death Realm protection techniques, Life-and-Death Realm mental techniques, Life-and-Death Realm martial arts, Life-and-Death Realm flying knives, archery skills, and hidden weapon techniques…
Any one of five types of martial arts at the Life-and-Death Realm level earned 1 point (supreme martial arts earned 1 point regardless of rank), for a maximum of 5 points!

Then there was the number of Mythic Realm masters defeated—each defeated Mythic Realm NPC earned 1 point…
The Global Masters Ranking List was a score-based ranking that was continuously updated based on each person’s changes—avoiding diverse opinions and judgments.
It was for this reason that many people were initially surprised by the names at the top of the list but soon accepted it…
The person at number one was actually “The Emperor” from the Central Plains!
Once one checked The Emperor’s stats, everyone was convinced of his superiority.

Apart from obtaining the full set of 4-stage divine weapons, which earned him 3 full points; he also had Life and Death Realm lightness skills, Life and Death Realm protection techniques, Life and Death Realm mental methods, and “Thirteen Deadly Swords.” Except for lacking skills in throwing weapons, he scored a total of 4 points. The last item… made him the highest-scoring among all the strong figures on the Ranking of Global Masters. A full 5 points! In other words, the Emperor in charge held the lives of at least 5 Mythical Realm NPCs. Mythical Realm! A power that seemed unattainable in the eyes of countless players, but not so formidable in the eyes of the Emperor. As for the other dozen or so people, their equipment and martial arts skills were at full score, totaling 8 points, but they had only killed 1 or 2 Mythical Realm stronglings, earning 10 or 9 points each. Happy was the same… 9 points. Because his full set of equipment was only 4-stage famous weapons, he received a pitiful 1 point. As for his martial arts skills, he only got 4 points. However, Happy’s kills in the Mythical Realm accounted for 4 points—on the grasslands, he killed two lower-level Mythical Realm enemies, as well as some powerful demons below the rank of Heavenly Monarch… “So many formidable people.” The emergence of the Ranking of Global Masters quickly caught the attention of Western countries as well as the Central Plains. For the first time, the Central Plains was affected by foreign martial artists. “Can foreigners really kill Mythical Realm stronglings?” “That’s a lie.” “Are foreign martial arts systems that powerful?” The internet was in an uproar. On the Ranking of Global Masters, although there weren’t many with full sets of 4-stage demonic weapons, that still represented a certain status; the number of Mythical Realm kills represented an even more unattainable level! While many arrogant martial artists from the Central Plains were still striving for Life and Death Realm skills, 3-stage, or 4-stage first-class famous weapons, the legend of the Mythical Realm had already been broken by a few foreigners. This forced some people to reevaluate foreign masters… Even Happy temporarily left the game to carefully check out what was on “Prophet’s” Weibo. The butterfly effect caused many plot developments in this world to change unexpectedly—all because of him! The Liberation Realm appeared earlier; group missions in the Central Plains came sooner; foreign forces landed and entered the Central Plains earlier; and there was also this “Prophet,” along with the “Ranking of Global Eccentrics” and the “Ranking of Global Masters,” making this world increasingly complex.

“Using ranking rules to sort out the experts—those with less than 8 points don’t get a place in the rankings; they’re only listed on the fame chart from 101st to 1,000th based on achievements and reputation… This guy called ‘Prophet’ is quite interesting.” After watching for a while in the living room, Kai Xin sighed sincerely, “It seems someone wants to take Bai Xiaosheng’s job.” “It’s not that easy.” Yin Hu, who came over upon hearing this, stood up indifferently, speaking in a calm tone, “Bai Xiaosheng is from our Central Plains. He’s good at divination, not data analysis, and his advantage lies in the Tianji Inkstone… This guy called ‘Prophet’ can at most do some summarization on websites. Their fields are different.” “Not necessarily. If it’s just about gathering information from websites, this guy called Kaisen wouldn’t dare to call himself ‘Prophet’ and use such a prominent title. Besides… if it’s just information gathering, it requires a lot of manpower, resources, and time. No large company can handle it.” At this point, Kai Xin paused and said solemnly, “The opponent is likely an expert from a foreign astrology faction. Their methods are similar to those of the I Ching in the East. They can obtain a lot of information just like Bai Xiaosheng can.” “It shouldn’t be possible, right?” “It’s absolutely possible!” Kai Xin declared firmly, “Not many people know that I killed Jin Jiuyin Shiyin. Also, there are few announcements online about killing NPCs at the Mythical realm level, but this chart clearly records over sixty such cases… This guy called ‘Prophet’ is no ordinary person…” “There’s more!” With a less than pleased expression, Kai Xin clicked on the list of global oddities on ‘Prophet’s’ Weibo and selected his own name. “The information provided about each person is extremely detailed! They’ve managed to gather all the martial arts techniques I’ve replicated using the ‘Jiuyang Divine Skill’ completely. Just that alone—ordinary I Ching masters could never do this.”
