Chapter 592 - 587: Recruit, Four Types Of Forces

'Everlore Association?' Su Mei's heart raced. The King of Everlore was a figure of the utmost prominence within the entire starfield. For the last eight thousand years, his achievements had defined entire eras, and propagated a near mythical legend. However, he wasn't a myth!

He was real!

Undoubtedly!

Yet they were just told that there existed an organization with his name. The questions in these youths' minds, Su Mei's included, were wildly surging! They had to know more, and if they could ever meet such an extraordinary figure.

A male youth with a sturdy build and firm eyes, vigorously rubbed his bald head to comfort himself before he worked up the courage to ask: "The King of Everlore is here? In this starfield?"

His question caused the clamoring youths to quiet down, their gazes focused on the middle-aged man like obedient students seeking out knowledge.

San Luoyang slightly smiled, seeing the ardent desire to meet their idol, but after a while, that smile lessened as a heavy light suffused from his normally calm eyes. The only reason they took action to save that starfield, or even to conceal it from the Tiangou for millenia, was because of the King of Everlore's imprint on their history.

"If you wish to know about the King of Everlore, first overcome the trial before you. This will determine your future, likely the height you'll reach in your lifetime. Do not ignore the importance of this moment." His expression grew stern, giving these passionately curious youths some advice.

With this reminder, the youths tried to calm down. But the lingering questions invigorated their thirst for knowledge, and some couldn't help but have the distinct hope that the King of Everlore, this legendary figure, was alive and thriving in this new starfield.

How many here wished to earn his favor? To become the next hegemon that rivaled the likes of Grand Monarch Wu Yu, the Divine King Han Xei, Sacred Elven Queen, or the Demonic Abyss Master! A single moment could rewrite their entire destiny.

While they had Qingye Ying, the Princess of Everlore, and Wei Wuyin, the Ascendant Emperor of Neo-Dawn, they weren't nearly as great or legendary as the King of Everlore, still just babies trying to grow. After all, the King of Everlore developed beings that exceeded the Astral Core Realm! The best Wei Wuyin had accomplished was a Realmlord, and only one.

Those at the Noble-rank have 'true' Mystic Ascendant Realm cultivators, at the Second Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, at the minimum. As for Imperial-rank, it wasn't very defined by their minimum requirement because it usually required being the strongest existence in the starfield. Therefore, Imperial-rank depended on the limits of the era. It would generally refer to the strongest Clan.

Pavilions, in their simplest forms, were businesses. They operated on business principles, oftentimes neutral, connected, and extremely wealthy. They functioned for the purpose to facilitate the needs and convenience of the other forces while expanding their reach. They even operated and maintained a variety of starfield-wide events and rankings.

Pavilions in the Mystic Tier were divided into two ranks: Chrome and Golden.

This wasn't defined by their overall strength, but their reach. If they reach at least five percent of the overall Aeternal Sky Starfield, they were considered Chrome, and if they reached ninety percent of the Aeternal Sky Starfield, they were Golden.

It was clear the monopoly of business was defined. There were only two Golden-rank Pavilions and four Chrome-rank Pavilions.

Sects established themselves off unique cultivation methods or doctrines, functioning in certain ways to grow a powerful and were often highly competitive. They, too, had bloodlines within their ranks, and were often jointly ruled by several clans with a similar purpose. The majority of sects were products of mergers of lesser clans that sought to survive in chaos.

Sects in the Mystic-tier had no division of ranks. They were all classified as World-rank, explicitly outlining their reach, but developing a sect was a difficult venture that required a strong unity. Sects had the highest failure rate due to internal conflict out of the four forces.

Despite that, they were considered the most terrifying because, if strongly united, sects eclipsed the other forces in power and scope.

Lastly, Associations were specialized forces that offered a variety of unique resources or skills. There were assassination associations, alchemist associations, forging asssociations, talisman associations, and more. They were defined by their specialty, and thrived on exporting their speciality and importing resources.

They had no ranks, and were defined by the two tiers. If an association was in the Mortal Tier, then they'll be referred to as Mortal Associations, and the same rang true for Mystic Tier.

After explaining it all, San Luoyang said: "While there are hundreds of thousands of Mortal Tier forces in our glorious starfield, there are only sixteen Mystic Tier forces that exist throughout the entire starfield. They are referred to as the Eight Noble Clans, Three World Sects, Two Golden Pavilions, Two Mystic Associations and the Imperial Clan.

"However, these are only the ones within the Aeternal Sky Starfield that have settled in our space. Keep that in mind," San Luoyang cryptically warned, but those who were keen realized the implications. These youths' expectations were at an all-time high, seeking to join these forces that had cultivators that rivaled those like Grand Monarch Wu Yu and the Divine King Han Xei!

However, San Luoyang's next words shattered all their hopes in mere moments.

"Out of these sixteen forces at the Mystic Tier, only the Everlore Association is present here today tor this recruitment. The rest are Silver and Gold-rank forces... So, let's see if you have the qualifications to join them!" San Luoyang smilingly said.
