"We in Liancheng have also sent a survey corps. This matter is of great importance and has the potential to cause serious consequences. Once the cup appears, it is impossible for only a few people to be involved. It is like a highly contagious plague, and it is impossible to prevent it."
"Not only you, but other students will also learn some knowledge about the cup during class today."
As soon as Xu Zhi heard that "Liancheng also sent troops", he was certain that the incident in Zanjiang was definitely a conspiracy.
She didn't care much about the game between these cities, but was more concerned about whether they knew that the [Cup] had not completely disappeared?
The teacher at the podium continued, "You don't know what the cup is, because the cup has long been eliminated. Even history does not record its existence, in order to prevent it from making a comeback."
"Unfortunately, it's impossible to prevent them. Even if we completely erase their existence, we still can't prevent the cup from regenerating."
regeneration
Xu Zhi noticed the teacher's choice of words. It seemed that the teacher thought that the [Cup] was reborn, rather than having never died?
"You have never known the cup before. In this next class, I will teach you what the cup is, how to identify cup-attribute believers, and why the cup must be eliminated!"
Xu Zhi also became serious after hearing this. Although she could be said to be the one who knew the [Cup] best among the students present, she had never studied it in a specific systematic way. Maybe she could hear some different knowledge?
The teacher at the podium began to talk, starting with some special features, such as the dark eyes of low-level believers, the strange hierarchy between believers, and external manifestations that most Xu Zhi already knew.
"It's important to note that unlike the other attributes, which are mutually exclusive and absolutely incompatible, the cup is the most special and the most harmful. It is corrosive."
"I've said before that Cup-attribute beings can't be called transcendents. That's because after awakening the Cup-attribute, their self-awareness ceases to exist, completely transforming them into believers of the Cup. Past memories, worldly ethics and morals, and even their ego and soul disappear. They can no longer be called human, so they can't be called transcendents."
"However, even if we are transcendents, under certain circumstances, we can be infected by the cup and transformed from transcendents into believers. This is something that no other attribute can achieve. Moreover, once this erosion is complete, it cannot be reversed."
Once it is completed, that is, if the transformation is not yet complete, is there any hope?
"Of course, these alone are not enough to frighten the former transcendents into completely eradicating the existence of the Cup. The most evil and unacceptable thing about the Cup is..."
"They feed on flesh and blood."
"This is especially true of human flesh and blood. In fact, the flesh and blood of extraordinary beings is the best food for them. Eating the flesh and blood of living beings can help them gain strength, repair their bodies, or simply satisfy their hunger."
"Therefore, they are the natural enemies of all living things."
After the teacher finished speaking, the people in the audience looked at each other in surprise. They had never imagined that there was such a "special" extraordinary attribute.
Is this [Cup] really just a simple extraordinary attribute?
"I'm telling you this in advance because once the Cup appears, no one can tell how many Cup-attributed believers are hiding in the shadows. No one knows what they're planning to do, or where the danger will come from. But no matter what, the Cup will definitely not do anything good. In fact, they are committed to destroying all order in the world."
"So, you must be careful in the upcoming college leagues."
"It just so happens that the league has lowered the threshold, who knows if something will sneak in!"
"Remember, stay away from any red objects that emit an ominous aura and smell of blood!"
[Cup] If you want to expand your influence, you must preach and make more people believe in you. What could be more appropriate than making a big fuss in the league?
only
Xu Zhi thought about the blood food that suddenly appeared in his room. Does this have anything to do with the fact that the [Cup] finally reappeared in this world "openly and honestly"?
"Also, let me briefly tell you about another special feature of the cup."
"The way its followers advance is also different from that of ordinary transcendents."
"They don't follow the advancement path of ordinary transcendents. Some cup attribute believers are even born very powerful, but they also have their own system."
"The lowest-ranking believers are called fanatics. They lack reason and are merely physically strong. They exist purely as tools and cannon fodder."
"Next are the Sin-Freed. Believers at this stage possess rationality and extraordinary abilities. The strength of believers at this stage varies greatly. To put it in perspective, it's roughly the range from Level 3 Mastery to the early stages of Immortality."
"Next up are the Messengers. It's rumored that believers at this stage can hear the sound of the cup. Their strength ranges from the second level of Immortal to the Named Ones. Some Messengers are even strong enough to rival some Named Ones of comparable strength."
"Further up, there are some of the most special existences in the cup attribute."
Xu Zhi's eyes turned slightly, guessing that perhaps what the teacher was going to say was...
"archbishop."
"Unlike us Named Ones who can possess multiple Names at once, everyone is seeking this path. Although there are many Named Ones among the Messengers of the Cup's Followers, the most special one is the Archbishop."
"If I were to describe it, the archbishops are the Cup's most loyal henchmen. They possess great power and status, can communicate directly with the Cup, and command all believers under the archbishop."
"Also, the number of archbishops is limited, generally no more than ten."
"These archbishops are often comparable to the most powerful Named Ones, and are even more difficult to deal with due to the unique vitality of the cup attribute."
Is the Archbishop so awesome?
"There's one thing we Transcendents have in common: believers with the Cup attribute will receive their own names after entering the Messenger stage. The same goes for Archbishops. Generally speaking, if we know the name of a particular Archbishop, we can use it to infer how many Archbishops there are in that generation, and what their names are."
"For example, the last time the Cup was completely destroyed in history, there were seven archbishops."
The teacher did not specify which seven they were, but Xu Zhi knew them well.
"besides."
The teacher seemed to be about to say something very important. Her eyes slowly swept across the seven students in the audience: "I think you also know that what extraordinary people pursue is power, radiance, and supreme authority. These can be summed up in one sentence, that is..."
“Ascension!”
"Becoming a god is the ultimate goal of this path, but there is only one ascension slot for each attribute, and there can only be one god."
As the teacher said this, the classroom suddenly lit up with many intricate circuits carved on the walls, floor, and ceiling. They seemed to be blocking something, or trying to hide something.
"The named ones are qualified to enter the final competition, but above them, there is a most special existence."
【Agent】
“Those who exercise God’s authority, carry out His will, and walk among men on God’s behalf are called agents.”
"Each attribute will only have one agent. They are the people closest to God, God's right hand, and the people closest to ascension."
Xu Zhi's face seemed calm, but her heart was trembling slightly. She had never heard of these things before, but after the teacher's explanation, the path she had been walking vaguely and reluctantly seemed to become clearer, as if she finally saw the end of this foggy road and what the goals along the way were.
She thought, ascension, what an interesting concept, maybe she could give it a try.
The teacher at the podium did not stop, she seemed to want to tell the students something in one breath.
"You are the best and most talented students of this generation. You can even be said to be the future of Guangming Academy. Originally, I was going to slowly reveal these things to you after you graduate, but now it's too late. No one expected the Cup to suddenly appear. You must learn these things in advance."
"Remember, there are people like this in the cup too."
"It's called, The Pope."
"With the birth of each generation of the cup, there must be a Pope. Now that the cup has appeared in the public eye, it means that the Pope already exists in this world!"
