Inside Star Garden Villa No. 10 at White Dragon University, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, gazing at the massive projection before him.
"A message from Teacher Qiu?" Jiang Ye read carefully. "Rules for the Great Stellar War."
Great Stellar War Rules
Tens of thousands of participants will enter the civilization ruins to compete in the Great Stellar War!
Upon entering the civilization ruins, each participant will receive a civilization fire. Defeating other participants allows you to seize their civilization fire. The more civilization fire you possess, the greater the power boost you receive.
Participants with Transcendent Aptitude will immediately enter the core region of the civilization ruins and await the start of the second-tier phase.
The Great Stellar War is divided into two phases. The first phase is a free-for-all where participants must compete to gather as much civilization fire as possible.
In the second phase, the top one hundred participants with the most civilization fire will enter the core region of the civilization ruins to compete for the championship against those with Transcendent Aptitude.
All participants will enter the civilization ruins at the early-stage of the seventh breakthrough realm.
The rules were remarkably detailed.
"civilization fire?" Jiang Ye murmured, slightly surprised. "Could this be related to the civilization fireseed?"
They probably weren't related.
According to the description, obtaining the civilization fire also granted a significant boost to one's strength, making it quite miraculous.
"The rules of the Great Stellar War are likely modeled after the rules of civilization strife crossing," Bai Gui's voice echoed.
"Civilization strife crossing?" Jiang Ye asked, intrigued. "Does it also require the civilization fire?"
"Not at all," Bai Gui replied, shaking her head. "Civilization strife crossing uses true civilization fortune! The civilization fire is merely an imitation of it."
Jiang Ye grew even more puzzled.
"I've absorbed a considerable amount of civilization fortune myself, but I haven't noticed any increase in my strength," Jiang Ye said, perplexed.
"That's because the fortune you absorbed all came from fallen civilizations," Bai Gui explained. "Civilization fortune, naturally, is also dead."
"But the civilization fortune used in civilization strife crossing is living fortune!"
"If you were to receive the blessing of such fortune, it would greatly enhance your own strength," Bai Gui added.
Jiang Ye suddenly understood.
He still only had a superficial understanding of fortune.
He never imagined there could be so many intricacies involved.
"civilization fire? Civilization fortune?" Jiang Ye murmured to himself. "Truly miraculous."
With that, he continued reading the rules.
"Transcendent beings can directly enter the second-tier?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.
He wasn't surprised.
The Great Stellar War was designed to select the most dazzling peerless prodigies.
Transcendent Aptitude itself represented the most brilliant Heavenly Pride of this era. They needed no selection process, only to await challenges from later contenders.
Of course, the rules weren't entirely biased toward the transcendent.
"According to the rules," Jiang Ye mused, "transcendent beings cannot participate in the free-for-all stage. Therefore, they can only obtain one civilization fire."
"Meanwhile, the hundred Heavenly Pride who emerge from the free-for-all stage will inevitably amass multiple civilization fire."
"It's truly difficult to say who will ultimately prevail."
Previous Great Stellar Wars had followed different rules.
Jiang Ye speculated that this year's unique setup was likely a preparation for the upcoming "civilization strife crossing."
"All participants uniformly at the early-stage of the seventh breakthrough realm?" Jiang Ye exclaimed inwardly, his eyes widening as he read the rules.
Uniform realm levels were common in tournaments.
Many competitions standardized participants' realms to ensure fairness.
However, the vast majority of such systems suppressed realms to a lower tier.
For example, in secret realms like the Extreme Sea Star System, an invisible force restricted everyone's realm to below the fourth breakthrough.
Yet the Great Stellar War had reversed this approach, imposing an upward suppression—a rare phenomenon indeed.
TL/N: Holy shit, this will be good.
"My realm will be elevated to the early-stage of the seventh breakthrough? How was that possible?" Jiang Ye wondered, his curiosity piqued.
"The universe's secret realms possess many divine and wondrous properties," Bai Gui explained.
"Realm elevation within these realms isn't uncommon," she continued. "However, such advancements are illusory. Upon leaving the secret realm, you'll revert to your original state."
"Still, this presents a unique opportunity for you."
"Reaching the early-stage of the seventh breakthrough will allow you to experience its power firsthand," Bai Gui said with a smile. "This will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
Indeed!
He was currently only at the fifth breakthrough. Gaining early access to the seventh breakthrough? This was an extremely rare chance.
"Alright," Jiang Ye said, a hint of anticipation rising within him. "This Great Stellar War is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for me."
"I must seize it!"
The Great Stellar War.
The entire Blue Star Federation, with its tens of billions of citizens, was watching with bated breath!
Of course, remote places like Ancheng in Xishan Province paid less attention.
But there was no doubt: the Great Stellar War was the most prestigious event on Blue Star.
Previous competitions Jiang Ye had participated in, such as the Twenty-Five School Genius Cup and the Ten Schools League, paled in comparison.
How much will my innate aptitude improve after this Great Stellar War? Jiang Ye wondered.
By earning recognition in the tournament, the system could gather world power, enhancing his innate aptitude.
Currently, the only method the system recognized for advancement was participating in tournaments.
Jiang Ye had already progressed from Primitive to Dao Bone Aptitude through the Penglai Newcomer Tournament, the Twenty-Five School Genius Cup, and the Ten Schools League.
But to advance further?
It would be incredibly difficult.
"Champion."
"I must win the championship!" Jiang Ye clenched his fist, a surge of ambition rising within him.
If he could claim victory,
he would gain the recognition of tens of billions, even hundreds of billions of people!
This would undoubtedly propel him forward, allowing him to ascend to the transcendent realm!
"My current strength..." Jiang Ye's gaze swept across his status panel.

"Three months of arduous cultivation."
"Not only have the Nine Luminaries Star-Treading and Heavenly Tribulation Fist reached perfection," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "but the True Divine Manual has also broken through to the mid-stage of the fifth breakthrough!"
"More importantly..."
"The Star-Piercing Arrow Technique! It has finally achieved great perfection."
Jiang Ye took a deep breath.
How terrifying was the Star-Piercing Arrow Technique at great perfection?
With a mere flick of his fingers, he could unleash two thousand arrows, each capable of posing a lethal threat to a mid-stage fifth breakthrough expert.
And with Jiang Ye's capabilities, he could unleash over ten thousand arrows in just a few seconds—enough to shatter an entire army!
"The arrow technique is secondary, though."
"My Luoshen Spear Technique might be the most terrifying killing move of all," Jiang Ye murmured, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.
Though the spear technique's improvement seemed modest, over the past three months, Jiang Ye had perfected all three ultimate moves.
Just how powerful was he now?
Jiang Ye didn't know.
All he knew was that if he faced his former self from three months ago, a single strike would instantly annihilate a hundred of his past selves.
