Chapter 1101 - Chapter 1101 Chapter 1100 Seeker Craftsman and Substitute

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: Seeker, Craftsman, and Substitute Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: Seeker, Craftsman, and Substitute Under the shelter of the Black Umbrella,

not only were the external perceptions of the interior cut off, but even Han Dong’s own senses of the outside world were blocked.

Although the Black Umbrella only covered the two of them, Han Dong felt as if he was placed in the Dark Abyss, even unable to touch its borders.

“This Black Umbrella must be a high-quality Chaos Equipment.

Coupled with the Priest’s Mythical Level domain formation, it creates a combined effect of a Barrier.

Mythic Bodies are indeed terrifyingly strong, beyond measure… No wonder the Expeditionary Army strategizes by calculating Mythic Bodies by the unit of captains.

Certainly not as strong as Captain Marlon, probably about the same strength as the vice-captains and the first Platoon Leader.

However, the Black Night Priest seems to have a good impression of me.

Putting aside what the Black Night Priest’s stance and ultimate goal are, getting the information of the Holy Level World in advance is also a good thing.”

The battle on the stone platform did not end immediately; White Rimu also played his trump card, continuing to stalemate with his opponent.

Rimu’s goal seemed not to be victory, but merely to stall for time… He intended to extract secrets from his opponent as much as possible, enabling his two Element Body teammates to gain a deeper understanding of the [Craftsman], ensuring victory in subsequent fights.

Thus, this duel turned into a stalling battle supported by Rimu’s powerful vitality.

The Priest had no interest in the competition on the platform and began discussing with Han Dong in detail matters related to Seekers, Craftsmen, and the Sanctification.

“[Sanctification] is the ‘foundation’ of their world, and outsiders uniformly refer to their world as the Holy Level World.

I won’t go into detail about the characteristics of their world, and my understanding is not deep enough.

You will have the opportunity to go and understand it yourself in the future, but here I mainly want to talk to you about these Craftsmen, as well as the Seeker matters.”

“Alright.”

“Unlike us Demons, perhaps even before becoming Demons, they might already belong to a certain faction… After all, the Old Kings have all thrown out their Land Deeds, which are managed by their trustworthy subordinates.

Even inferior Evils and wild beasts would have ‘small Land Deeds’ and corresponding factions to take them in.

Once they belong to a certain Old King’s faction, their development method is more or less influenced… Severely like the subordinates of the Blood Ancestor, who need to drink Blood Brew for the Blood Descendant transformation, only given one path of development.

But they are different.

They advocate ‘self-directed seeking of the path’; initially, individuals can pursue their desired ‘path’ according to their own ideas and interests, and they are not restrained before ‘finding their path’.

At this time, they are called [Seekers], and Seekers are subdivided into the following three categories:

They can choose to be ‘travelers,’ wandering between heaven and earth on their own to find their path.

They can join some organizations in cities becoming ‘apprentices,’ studying and seeking the path under systematic education and guidance similar to that of academies, along with other apprentices.

They can traverse mountains and rivers and head to Mountain Craft.

Individuals with higher talents or certain specialties can be recruited by Mountain Craft before ‘finding their path’, joining as ‘students’ to prepare for crafting studies, speeding up their progress compared to the previous two.

Their so-called ‘finding the path’ is akin to our ‘becoming a demon’.

However, our Evils here can become Demons at any time segment, in any area, in any form.

Some newly formed New Born-Demons aren’t even known by others, choosing to stay in a certain area, reaching the level of Mature Body alone before coming out of their caves to join under an Old King by ‘negotiating terms’.

Their so-called ‘finding the path’

requires fulfilling specific requirements,

going to specific areas,

and completing specific events,

only then can they find their path and become Craftsmen.

Here, the ‘requirements’ refer to reaching the final stage of seeking the path, with the heart already showing the mark of the path.

The ‘area’ refers to a certain Mountain Craft,

‘The events’ refer to the upgrade ceremonies arranged by the Mountain Craft Workshop, and even before ascending to the small Saint Grade, there are still two things to do.

1. Create the Heart: Removing the heart that has shown the mark of the path, using the top artifacts to create the [Heart of Craftsman].

2. Body Forging – Using a lifetime of skills to create a “Substitute” that meets standards.

After completing the above two points, one is officially recognized by the Mountain Craft Workshop and becomes a craftsman.

The process in between is even more complicated than what I’ve described. It involves various types of tests and selections, and even requires going to some secret realms for training… This is what you wanted to know about Seekers, Craftsmen, and Substitutes.

Craftsmen have a grading system similar to ours, divided into five major stages.

Or rather, the “stages” are the same in every world, all related to the Truth.”

After hearing this, Han Dong immediately fell into deep thought.

As an old hand who had dealt directly with multiple Old Kings, he felt no pressure when facing the Black Night Priest.

After a moment of thought, he directly expressed his thoughts:

“Thank you, Priest, for clarifying.

Their world system, which allows individuals ample freedom of choice, specialized training, and strict discipline and rules.

It’s like a world specifically created to cultivate strong individuals, or perhaps a world specifically manufactured to target our Demons.

But it does have flaws…”

“Oh?” Han Dong’s remark piqued the Priest’s interest. “What flaws?”

“In my view, even though such events have occurred in London City… in terms of loyalty and will, Demons are surely superior to these craftsmen.

Demon development, though seemingly chaotic, is actually based on an absolute adoration of the individual Old Kings, a kind of adoration that borders on madness, without any hesitation, not only willing to gaze into the Abyss but even to jump into and embrace it, pursuing this adoration to the extreme.

I believe this is something these craftsmen pursuing Saint Grade can’t achieve.

In terms of numbers, in the Holy Level World, where freedom and standardization of training are practiced, there may be more craftsmen than Demons, and even the overall quality and foundation of strength might be better.

However, when it comes to true elites, our side definitely has more.”

Han Dong’s explanation not only expressed his viewpoint but also had another purpose.

While expressing this sort of comparative statement about the worlds (biased toward the Demon World), he observed the Black Night Priest’s expressions to ascertain the Priest’s true stance.

The Priest gave a weird smile, briefly commenting, “Not bad, you are indeed very special.”

With that, the Black Umbrella moved aside.

The darkness enveloping Han Dong was removed as well.

The match on the platform had just ended, without any suspense… The true form of the White Rimu was chopped into minced meat by the Butcher, and all these pieces were absorbed by him.

But due to the Worm’s vitality.

Rimu allowed a Worm Tentacle to detach from the main body early and fall out of the ring, seeking survival.

But it was already extremely weak, and participating in subsequent upgrades was probably impossible.

Who knew, Butcher Lu had no intention of letting him go, even though falling out of the ring signified the end of the match.

As Lu, with his pig-headed Substitute, was chasing out of the ring,

a young man with a thick goatee suddenly blocked his path… Unable to stop due to his sprinting speed, Lu, along with his pig-headed Substitute, crashed directly into him.

Despite being a Butcher weighing over 400 pounds of solid flesh, along with the pig-headed Substitute connected to his belly, they were both flung out, taking a hard fall…

Yet the young man he crashed into remained unmoved, looking at him with a cold gaze.

Smelling a hint of danger, Lu did not pursue further.

Given that he had already depleted much energy in the long match and had won the match, there was no need to take further risks.

As Lu left, he threw out a tough statement: “I’m merely the weakest in our team, barely sparing this Worm a chance to live… As for you, you will surely be completely killed by my companions.”

The goateed young man didn’t respond to him but overflowed with absolute confidence and even a premature smile of victory. As the main champion of the Demon Team, he ascended the stone stair platform.

He was none other than the Competitive Hop, the Seventh Element.

As for the Craftsmen Team’s champion, it was the only woman in the team, the Silk Dyeing Craftsman, wrapped in five-colored silk, whose geisha-like appearance and floating silk ribbons behind her looked quite eerie.
