"Ivy War?"

Xia Xiu's face was full of doubts, and then he asked a question that went straight to the core, "Who defined this war?" ”

"This concept was first proposed by the Addison Federation, and I continued to refine the ideas they put forward, and finally defined it - the Ivy War."

0-03 stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the holographic projection device in front of him that he had just adjusted. The contours of his palms were particularly clear in the faint light, and every movement was precise and confident. Then, he delicately pinched one of the images in the projection with his index finger and thumb, and then gently pulled it to begin the magnification of the image.

"As you said before, the inside of the [Golden Tree] is the 'beast', and the other party's inside is the abomination that tries to devour everything, which is also the essence of [Financial Street]; The World Tree is a Terra-like being, who always gives birth to gods, but the gods he conceives always exclude the human race.

Now, the Addison Federation has combined the two, and the financial evil force has merged with the World Tree to form the [Golden Tree-Godhead], and this new being has now gone from an absolute rejection of humanity to a relative, periodic rejection of humanity. According to the notice issued by the Addison Federation, the Golden Tree and the Golden Court inherited the shortcomings of the [Financial Street] and the [World Tree] respectively. ”

"There are rounds of financial cycles in the operation of [financial streets], that is, the natural fluctuations that must be experienced when financial circulation, including four stages: expansion, peak, recession and trough.

Expansion, which is the upward phase of the economic cycle, is characterized by an increase in economic activity, including the growth of production, employment, and consumption. During this period, investment in extraordinary corporations increased, credit conditions at the 12 Federal Savings Banks were generally more accommodative, and the Extraordinary were more confident and spending, willing to pay more of their [future] in exchange for [now].

After that, there is the peak, the expansion reaches its peak, and economic activity reaches its maximum. At its peak, there are usually increased inflationary pressures and higher resource utilization. According to the modern world, this is the time when the so-called 'economic overheating' is likely to occur.

At present, many economists and financial risk controllers in Terra are arguing fiercely about whether the current economy is overheating, and the disputants can be divided into "overheating" and "not overheating", of which "overheating" includes "global overheating" and "local overheating". ”

0-03 While the operation is hands-on, the words continue.

And then came the well-known recession. From the peak to the recession phase, economic activity begins to slow down, and production and capital growth slows or even turns negative. A period of recession is usually accompanied by the future overdraft of individual extraordinary people and extraordinary enterprises, a decrease in investment, and the collapse of the [financial street], which represents the mass production of 'unemployed'.

These 'unemployed' are not simply dead, they will gradually become 'financial ghasts' because they cannot repay their debts, while banks will face great difficulties such as massive bad debts, falling asset values and tight liquidity, and they will even fail.

Finally, there is the trough.

It brings economic activity to its lowest point, but it is also a signal that the cycle is about to reverse. During the trough, the recession stops, paving the way for the next round of expansion.

Cycle after cycle, eternal reincarnation, this is [Financial Street]. ”

As the holographic projection gradually shrank, Xia Xiu's gaze also moved downward, and finally locked on the image showing the [Golden Tree]. In the picture, the lush foliage of the Golden Tree gradually converges, revealing the mysterious realm of [Utgard], which is located at the bottom of the World Tree.

Here, far from the light of day, you can't see the light of day.

"Our angels in heaven like to call [Financial Street] 'the universal holy machine of the future'.

The most basic gameplay of [Financial Street] is: according to the range of 1 to 100, you can overdraft at will - when your ability is 1, the most rational overdraft range should be 5; That share of 1 is your original capital, and that share of 5 is the benign capital of the overdraft, because you can afford to pay back this overdraft.

But human beings are always greedy, and finance is also a collapse caused by human greed.

Someone will definitely use 1 to overdraw 100, and definitely someone will try to collect more 1 to continue overdrafting.

Someone will definitely figure out a way to transfer the 100 debt that should have been paid by themselves to someone else.

Someone would definitely make a chain of countless 100s, swallow all 100 on the chain alone, and throw the debt to others.

There are definitely people who will continue to accumulate overdrafts, blow bubbles, and cash out other people's 100.

What does the hell of the other matter to me, and what does the collapse of the other have to do with me.

In the chain of finance, the evil of finance continues to accumulate, standing at the top of the evil of finance, and those who have achieved a lot of fruits despise those who are desperate.

The losers are unable to pay their overdrafts, the desperate and miserable become evil spirits, and the financial tide needs those who contract to pay off their debts and quell the wave; The fruitful top level ignores them, because they only need to pay their own 'debts'.

The tide of anger cannot be quelled, and the forces that essentially represent collapse will swallow up existing concepts along the so-called causal line—the borrower's relatives, friends, kindred, even race, entire nations, entire civilizations. ”

In Utgard, where the light of day is gone, holograms reveal a palpitating scene: countless horrible and terrible souls squeezing and intertwining in the darkness, forming a vast sea of the undead. The wails and resentment of these unjust souls converged into the wind, blowing through every corner, and people couldn't help but feel a kind of coldness and despair that went deep into the bone marrow.

There is no trace of life here, only endless dead silence and coldness, and all souls are immersed in eternal pain.

"After the merger of [Financial Street] and [World Tree], all the unemployed who failed to pay off their loans were thrown into [Utgard], the land of the dead. Unless someone redeems them, they must fight forever for the Tree of Gold and the gods of the Golden Court. ”

0-03 fingers are still zooming in.

In the midst of this sea of the dead, stands a huge temple - [Valhalla].

In front of the hall stands a golden ash tree, and a golden shield hangs from the ceiling of the hall.

[Valhalla] is surrounded by various creatures, such as stag and goats.

There are also undead there, but their bodies are many times better looking than the monsters in the horrible waves outside.

"The disadvantage of the [World Tree] is 'Ragnarok', which happens to merge with the cyclical nature of [Financial Street], and forms the so-called periodic crisis of the end of the worlds. It just happens to merge with the financial cycle, which leads to a very interesting phenomenon, which is that the otherwise volatile end can now be observed. ”

0-03 zoom the image again, this time moving from the bottom to the top.

Towering in the center of the world, its branches and foliage shimmering with a dazzling golden light, as if absorbing all the brilliance of heaven and earth. This is not just a tree, but a mysterious hub connecting nine worlds, and every leaf, every drop of dew contains endless wisdom and power.

Surrounded by a vast starry sky, dotted with stars and crossed by the Milky Way, it adds a layer of mystery and solemnity to this golden tree.

Beneath this star, stands a pure white palace - the "Silver Hall", which is made of countless pure white silver bricks, each of which shimmers with a soft and holy luster, reflecting the surrounding golden light more brilliantly.

The silver-colored hall is like frost and snow in the morning light, pure and flawless, revealing an inviolable sacredness.

The doors of the hall are open, and an invisible force invites all onlookers into this fabulous place.

Walking through the tall portico, you will be greeted by the "Supreme Throne" in the center of the hall, which exudes supreme majesty.

Crafted from the purest gold and silver, the throne is carved with intricate runes and totems, each of which exudes supreme power and wisdom.

Above the throne was a bright halo of shattered gold, which illuminated the throne, making it look like a place where a god had descended.

In front of this throne, time seemed to slow down, and all sounds fell silent, except for a soft light flowing through the air.

This is not only the core of the Golden Tree, but also the place where the entire cosmic order and destiny are controlled.

Standing here, you can feel the intersection of past, present, and future, and hear the breath and heartbeat of the depths of the universe.

"The Golden Ring that stands on the High Throne is now broken, but it longs to be whole—according to the cyclical law, the original Golden Tree is expanding, and when it is done, the Golden Ring will be shaped.

The way to complete the Dharma Ring is to complete the wedge of the realms, the faith and submission of the people of the realm, the completion of the law of the Golden Tree, and the contribution to financial circulation......

When the ring is fully completed, it will become the most powerful godhead.

Of course, you can also understand it as a [miracle].

Moreover, the Golden Tree gives more than that, along with this [miracle] are: the godhead of the entire branch of the divine system, a huge plane, the supreme commander of the Golden Court, and the authority of the supreme seat......"

"And the most interesting thing is that this [miracle] and generosity belong to all realms, and the [Golden Tree] has promulgated it to the outside world - the Ivy League Rule.

This law can be specifically understood as artificially detonating the periodic crisis that should have occurred, and using the law to restrict the battle of the realms that could have triggered the end of the Golden Tree, and the law is the most restrictive for those high-level transcendents, and other groups of external forces must also pass the approval of the Golden Tree if they want to enter. ”

These two laws are too targeted, and they are obviously nakedly aimed at the kingdom of heaven.

The students of both houses of heaven were clearly excluded.

"According to the outside world, the war induced by the Ivy League law is essentially a combination of divine proxy wars, xenomorph wars, esoteric wars, academy wars, and wars in all realms.

You can wage war and seize the wedge;

You can evolve peacefully and seize the faith;

You can set up a secret sect and establish a complete path to complete the ascension of the god system;

You can study academics and advance the completion of rules;

You can run a company and facilitate financial flows.

Each being who wants to get the Golden Ring can choose one or more of the war routes to advance.

The way the war is settled is calculated according to the overall value of route completions - whoever has the highest completion rate of all routes and is not killed at the time of settlement is the winner.

This is an absolute, irreconcilable zero-sum game – the sum of the interests of all the participants in the game is a fixed value, and the benefits (or losses) gained by one participant are fully compensated by the losses (or reduced benefits) of one or more participants - and no matter who the winner is, the [Golden Tree] itself never loses. ”

"Hugh Abraham, whoever becomes the victor in this war will surely ascend to the top of the miracle and become a saint in the eyes of the world."

Hearing 0-03's words, the blonde youth couldn't help but squint his eyes at the vacant 'Supreme Throne'.

He naturally understands now, and he asked himself if he wanted to be the principal before 0-03.

It seems that the Kingdom of Heaven has found a loophole, stuck the bug of "Ivy League Rule", and found a way to build a school inside the [Golden Tree].

The [Kingdom Domain] in his [Crown] has completed one-third of the domain structure, and there are still two-thirds of the domain structure to be completed.

Although there is still a long way to go [miracle], it is necessary to plan ahead.

As the fourth sword-wielder in the Heavenly Kingdom, Xia Xiu had already inquired about the various steps and needs of reaching the top [miracle] through his authority.

After the [realm realm] of the crown phase is the [intrinsic realm].

The so-called [Essence] is the most essential existence in the world, and there is only one focus that constitutes this field, and that is the [Miracle Wedge].

The average transcendent who reaches this realm can choose to miraculously transform the [Essence Prototype] that he or she created when he [authoritarian realm] is born, or he or she can turn a creation that symbolizes [miracles] into a wedge for himself.

Of course, most people choose to have them all, because if you don't want them all, you can't make a miracle.

When the wedge is fused, it represents the beginning of the path of the transcendent to the miracle.

They then need to meet certain conditions and a special process, which is called the "canonization ceremony".

The process is generally divided into four stages, each of which has its own special name.

Stage 1: Self-sacrificing.

Through the wedge, the self-denial begins to move towards great spirituality, and they will be the first to step into the sevenfold solitude and begin to try to penetrate the seven levels of the ether.

Stage 2: His Holiness.

After experiencing the sevenfold loneliness, the world has become a dreamlike existence in the eyes of His Holiness, and they begin to have the authority that belongs to the miracle itself, the World Bubble.

Stage 3: The Blessed One/Holy One/Lineage Arch Defender/Ruler......

This stage is called differently among the various lineages and transcendentals, because at this stage, it is the most important thing for miracles - to declare miracles.

This stage usually requires the proof of at least one miracle, which must be recognized by the Oceans of Ether, have had a great impact on the world, and are considered to have been the result of its dominance.

This stage can be called the Bliss, Holiness, Lineage, and Reign......

These vary from person to person, and this is the reason for the miracle being to declare itself to the world.

Most of the great powers will rely on the stock of the lineage itself to issue the lineage arch guardian declaration, and this is the case with the [Solar Age] in Iberia, which is why it is very difficult for them to have a reset [miracle].

The only thing that is the same in this stage is that everyone who completes this stage will start to construct their own - the High Orbit World Cannon, the Low Orbit World Cannon, and the Low Orbit Ion Cannon......

These cannons are equipped with the [World Bubble] that will magically change the world.

And finally, the fourth stage – a miracle on earth.

The transcendent at this stage, as a rule, needs to prove the second miracle, which does not have to be greater than the first, it simply symbolizes the reproducibility of the miracle.

This is also the reason why both the [prototype of the certificate] and the [miracle wedge] mentioned above are all required, and the first miracle is completed through the [miracle wedge], and when the final stage is reached, the miracle of the [prototype of the certificate] has been completed, and the second miracle is naturally completed.

Before the crisis [Seventy-Two Hour Incident] erupted, 0-13 of the resolution assembly was a 'self-denial'.

Many angels in Heaven suspect that the main reason for his fall is that he was bewitched by the Four Sovereigns when he stepped into the seven layers of solitude, although he may have finally stepped through the seven layers of solitude on the surface, but he did not step through the loneliness [of the essence], and he was extremely likely to be corrupted by the chaos in the ether.

The coronation of the Four Monarchs and the Red King, the third of the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven, the wreckage of the Financial Street - this is his first miracle proclamation.

After that, it was his second proclamation that he was the Messiah.

The president of the Mayflower Foundation ascended to the top of the miracle, taking advantage of the financial wave of [Financial Street] to transfer and merge the [World Tree] to make the first miracle announcement.

Then, the new world constructed by the new [Golden Tree] was his second miracle announcement.

The scale of the miracle proclamation is rather scarce, because the miracle proclamation represents the slot, the mass, and the scale of the wedge that [the miracle person] itself can fuse.

The power of [Miracle Blessings] is already comparable to that of divinity.

St. Valentine, the first sword-wielder in the kingdom of heaven, was known to the world to possess more than a plural [miracle wedge] representing fate.

When Xia Xiu was in [Spiral Road] before, he had seen one of Mu's miracle wedges, "Miracle Glass Sea".

He can be sure that Mu, as the defender of the kingdom of heaven, definitely has more than one wedge.

If Xia Xiu participated in the Ivy War, there is no doubt that the winner of the war was a declaration in itself.

Moreover, he can make the Ivy League War his main resolution.

"Where is the school? How many students are there? What do you say about teacher resources? Xia Xiu sent out a triple attack.

0-03 showed a mysterious smile at the blonde youth, he got up and patted the other party's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Well, you'll have to go to the Addison Federation.

And, don't forget your status as the Authority's second-in-command, the Authority's current headquarters is located in the Addison Federation, where the Authority's main business is located.

Most of the current Celestial Reserve Decision-Makers are also gathered in the Addison Federation, and the delegates of the Resolution Assembly and even themselves are there, don't forget that you are also in the Resolution Assembly candidate competition stage, some of which are resolutions that you need to hand over and deal with, and some of which need to be ordered by yourself.

The advancement of the five-year plan must not be forgotten, and you must also read the instructions of Eden regularly, and the fourth sword-wielder of your kingdom of heaven is still hanging......"

Looking at the blonde youth's gradually heavy expression, 0-03 said slowly:

"There's still a long way to go."
