Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1150

"Just Energy?" Kyle asked in surprise. "Does that even count for the Fulfilled and Unique Realms?"

"There is no Fulfilled or Unique Universe Realm," Abyssal Depths answered. "You no longer get rewards or unique bonuses for being exceptionally talented. The world treats everyone the same in the Universe Realm. The Universe Realm has nine levels, and you need to reach the ninth level to advance. There is no tenth level."

Kyle furrowed his brows. This sounded so... simple. This was nothing like all of the earlier Realms. "But Immortals also gather Energy passively, right? Doesn't that mean that everyone can reach the ninth level, even if they never do anything?"

"Theoretically, yes, but in practice, no," Abyssal Depths answered. "When you fully focus on creating a Grade Nine Energy Stone with two Avatars, you can create one of them in 10,000 years if you're a New Immortal. If you have three Avatars, it takes around 7,500 years. You won't be able to focus on any other things while generating a Grade Nine Energy Stone."

"In order to become a Beginner Immortal, you need Energy equivalent to 100 Grade Nine Energy Stones. Assuming you have two Avatars, you would need to spend a million years to advance, and that's just the start."

"With every advancement, the speed at which you create an Energy Stone increases by about 20%, while the Energy you need to advance quintuples. That means the time you need to advance in every successive level quadruples. A New Immortal needs one million years to gather the Energy to advance. For a Zenith Immortal to become a Half-Step Lord..."

"16.4 billion years," Kyle answered with a deep breath. "7.5 million Grade Nine Energy Stones. The total time to go through the Universe Realm would be over 21 billion years."

"Correct," Abyssal Depths answered. "No one has ever managed to become a Half-Step Lord by just creating Energy Stones. A couple of dedicated Immortals have made it their life mission to do just that. From what I've heard, they once tried to get the resources elsewhere but failed to do so. They gave up and started creating Energy Stones."

"Some of them never stopped, and they've been slowly gathering Energy Stones for an eternity. As far as I know, the oldest one just recently became a Zenith Immortal. By recently, I mean about 25 million years ago. To them, 25 million years is a short time."

Abyssal Depths slowly shook her head. "I'm not even five million years old."

"Since they have to pay to stay in a Protected City, their speed of advancement is slower. According to them, they've been creating Energy Stones for over seven billion years. They even experienced the First Great Shift."

"The First Great Shift?" Kyle asked with a raised brow.

"The First Great Shift happened a bit more than five billion years ago. Its name comes from the sudden change in Energy movement. According to tales, Energy in the Supreme World used to move more smoothly but also more slowly. Apparently, understanding Laws used to be easier during these times."

"Then, the way the Energy moved suddenly changed. That was also the time when the Cult of Final Fate attacked for the first time. According to the World Seekers, the shift in Energy represents the change between rest and exertion. The Energy is more chaotic because the world is actively fighting against the Cult's God."

'Five billion years, huh...' Kyle thought. 'That's when the fight between this God and the invading God started.'

"If there's a First Great Shift, is there also a Second Great Shift?" Kyle asked.

Abyssal Depths furrowed her brows as she looked at Kyle. "Is this some kind of joke?" she asked.

Kyle blinked in confusion, while Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm not joking," Kyle answered. "Is there a second one? Seriously, I don't know. I've never heard of this Great Shift business before."

Abyssal Depths looked like she didn't believe Kyle.

Was it really possible that someone could become a Fulfilled Ascendant while being that isolated and blind?

"The Second Great Shift was the sudden change in Energy about 70,000 years ago. Don't tell me you didn't notice," she answered.

'70,000 years ago?' Kyle thought. 'If I take the time dilation of Ayuvar into account, that would've been about 700,000 years ago.'
