As Zhou Fan's favorite proverb goes, defeat the son, comes the siblings, defeat the siblings, comes the parents, defeat the parents, comes the grandparents, defeat the grandparents, comes the ancestor, defeat the ancestor, comes a god.
Luckily for Guang Fu, this was a competition with strict rules. Although the elder of the lion race was furious, there was nothing he could do.
The two brothers from before were the only ones in the family that had a cultivation between nascent soul 4 and nascent soul 6.
The elder had thought about lowering their fathers cultivation realm, a very painful and statistically improbable procedure, but he soon gave it up.
As a wise old man, even enraged, he decided to cut his losses for now.
Back in the zone Guang Fu was in, a year passed. In that year, only a single opponent came for Guang Fu. It was some deer race member, but she fell quicker than the first two.
After three defeats, the beast race temporarily held off on Guang Fu's square. They had 999 more years to worry about it.
As the time came and exactly a year had passed from the time when Guang Fu first arrived, he felt his talisman shaking.
"Guang Fu. I repeat. Guang Fu, are you there?"
"Here." Guang Fu replied.
"A year has passed. I repeat. A year has passed. You will be relieved of your duty and get a month off of defending before coming back. Your replacement will arrive shortly. Take care." The mechanical voice spoke before shutting off.
Guang Fu put the talisman back as he waited with expectations. Naturally, nobody expected to fight in a war risking their lives for free. Every time you successfully attacked or defended a square, you would receive contribution points.
In the current stage of war, which was quite lax, one would be recalled once a year in order to use their contribution points or simply relax.
In order to make it more fair, the stronger you and your opponents were, the more contribution points gained for defeating them.
After waiting for three hours, Guang Fu saw a heavenborn coming from the distance. Guang Fu got up and rushed over to him.
After a brief and unimportant conversation, Guang Fu went to the teleportation array that his replacement came from and entered it. He traveled across many battle zones until he finally reached the Heaven world's base of operations.
As he entered, the place seemed much more desolate and happier than before. While there were fewer people, those that were at the base were mostly those like Guang Fu who had come back and were ready to spend their contribution points.
After walking around the gigantic base that could be called a city, Guang Fu found the city center. There were no benches or wildlife, just a tall white wall with many black words moving and changing.
At the top in a large font were the words, "Contribution Wall".
The first name, ranked number one, was Tian Ren's wife. She had only fought a single battle so far, but she managed to kill a 1st level space shattering realm cultivator.
She was in front by a large gap.
After some looking around, Guang Fu found his name at the 558th rank. He had 1,617 contribution points.
500 were from each of his enemies, while the other 117 were from staying stationed there. Enemies from the 4th level of the nascent soul realm to the 6th level were defined as Nascent soul tier 2 enemies. They gave 500 points each.
Guang Fu saw his points and nodded. Neither too much nor too little. It was a fair amount.
Guang Fu walked out of the city center and entered a long and wide street with hundreds of shops on each side. While the earlier area seemed empty and desolate, this place was so packed that everyone was nearly touching shoulders.
This was the exchange area for contribution points. It worked similar to a large market, but contribution points were the only currency accepted.
Just about everything could be traded here. From great tasting foods to good weapons. Spirit stones could also be exchanged for contribution points, but that was something only an idiot would do.
The things in the exchange area were much cheaper than normal considering the spirit stone exchange rate.
Guang Fu wandered around the exchange area, looking for things that caught his attention. He didn't have anything specific in mind.
He directly looked over brothels and other such immoral things.
After wandering for a while, he saw a narrow and dark alleyway. It was barely wide enough for two people to walk shoulder to shoulder in.
Guang Fu, being a curious person, entered the dark alley and walked into it.
After a while, he saw an old man sitting on a carpet at the end of the alley.
"Hello young man, would you like to buy any of my wares?" The old man asked with a smile. He had a few missing teeth.
Guang Fu looked at the carpet and saw nothing but mediocre and even rusty goods.
He wanted to turn around, but he felt pity for the old man. He did not know why, it was just his nature.
"Fine, give me that." Guang Fu said as he pointed at a random object without looking.
"That would be ten contribution points." The old man replied.
Guang Fu gritted his teeth, paid the man, took his item, and speed walked away as he mourned the waste of ten contribution points.
He put the item in his pocket without even glancing at it. He spent a few more hours walking around before buying a good spatial ring for a thousand contribution points. After buying a good meal for 10 contribution points, he slept at one of the free hotels.
After waking up, he finally took a look at the item he bought from the old man. It was a rusty old emblem in the shape of a small shield.
Guang Fu sighed and turned it around. There, he saw a metal point. Guang Fu figured it was meant to be put on a shirt, but he naturally didn't wear it.
Just as he was putting it away, he carelessly touched the point and it pierced his skin, drawing blood.
Guang Fu flinched from the sudden prick and dropped the emblem on the ground. After a moment, he realized in shock that the emblem had pierced him.
Somehow, a trashy piece of rusted metal managed to pierce the skin of a nascent soul realm cultivator. Such a thing was hard to believe.
Guang Fu glanced at the emblem on the ground and saw that it seemed to be vibrating. As it vibrated, rust started to fall from it onto the floor.
At first, the emblem was vibrating so softly that it was barely detectable, but after a few seconds, it began making a noise.
Guang Fu watched quietly as the emblem continued to vibrate for an entire minute before a light could be seen coming out of an area where a piece of rust fell off.
The light was soon on other areas as the final bits of rust fell off of the emblem. The light stopped shining and a completely different looking emblem was revealed.
It was completely gold with bits of red in the shield's center. Guang Fu cautiously picked the emblem up off the ground.
As he touched it, he felt the power coming off of it. It was no normal emblem. Guang Fu felt that, at the very least, it was at the void traversing realm.
Without much hesitation and with much excitement, Guang Fu ran outside of the hotel and came to a large facility.
In order to stop cultivators from going away during the war, the people who set up the city sized camp added just about everything anyone could want.
Among those was a training facility. Each use of it only cost 10 spirit stones. Such an amount was pocket change for any core formation cultivator.
Guang Fu entered a private room and sat in the middle with the shield emblem. Despite his attempts, even after a day passed he had no idea how to use it.
Eventually, Guang Fu gave up and went back to the hotel room. He spent the rest of his break time attempting to figure out how the emblem worked, but was unsuccessful.
As the time passed, he felt the talisman in his spatial ring moving and took it out.
"Guang Fu. I repeat. Guang Fu, are you there?"
"I am here." Guang Fu responded.
"Break time is over. I repeat. Break time is over. Head back to your square." The mechanical voice said.
"On my way." Guang Fu said as he put the talisman into his spatial ring and moved out.
As he ran, he took the emblem out and pinned it on his chest.
In just a few hours, he arrived at the teleportation array that led to his square. As he stepped in, he was teleported away.
When Guang Fu opened his eyes, he was shocked and surprised to see a dome barrier not too far from him.
'The square is under attack!' He thought to himself before taking out his talisman and reporting his finding.
"Stay calm soldier. In the case that he wins, nothing will change. If he loses, immediately retreat without giving the enemy a chance to spot you. Good luck." The mechanical voice spoke in a tone stricter than usual.
Guang Fu nodded and waited outside of the barrier. The barrier was white and impossible to see through. Guang Fu could only patiently wait as the battle inside raged on.
After an entire hour of waiting, the barrier disappeared. Looking inside, Guang Fu was upset to see an injured crane standing over the corpse of his replacement.
Guang Fu was about to retreat, but he suddenly stopped. The reason he was told to retreat was because the replacement had been at the 8th level of the nascent soul realm. The zone was for nascent soul realm cultivators, but it did not differentiate between the three tiers.
The tiers only stopped someone from a higher tier from attacking someone from a lower tier.
Naturally, the coordinators did not believe that Guang Fu had the ability to defeat someone a tier above him. He was only regarded as a high tier talent. Not quite a top tier talent.
Tian Ren did not let them know much and Guang Fu had not displayed much.
Seeing such a heavily injured opponent that was only at the 9th level of the nascent soul realm, Guang Fu was tempted to go in.
'With my talent, it will be a quick and easy battle.' He said, convincing himself.
After just a moment of hesitation, Guang Fu jumped in the battle zone and a barrier appeared.
The opponent looked up at him and sneered when seeing Guang Fu.
Guang Fu did not waste any time and launched an attack at the crane. He covered himself with light Qi and created a sword of light Qi before shooting towards the crane.
His attack would be able to cause trouble to even an uninjured 8th level nascent soul realm cultivator, much less a severely injured 9th level nascent soul realm cultivator.
The opposing crane had bloody streaks on its body, likely from a sword. It was panting heavily but calmly watching Guang Fu.
Guang Fu did not think anything of it. All cultivators were arrogant towards those of a lower level or realm. It would be weirder if the crane wasn't arrogant.
Guang Fu reached the crane and jumped in the air. His sword was just about to reach the crane's head, but the crane suddenly launched to the side at an extremely fast speed.
Out of the corner of his eye, Guang Fu saw the crane. It was standing tall with no injuries on its body.
'An illusion! It's a trap!' Guang Fu thought to himself as his sword continued to fall on the empty space.
Guang Fu hurriedly stopped his sword and swung upwards, but the crane was faster. It dashed next to him and moved its wing covered in wind Qi.
Without a doubt, Guang Fu would be pierced by the full force attack of a level 9 nascent soul realm cultivator.
