The World Tower (世界塔) mentioned here is different from the World Tower (世界之塔) located in Dragonheart Island.
The Greater God's Domain's World Tower was similar to the Trial Tower available in every God's Domain, and all players in the Greater God's Domain ranked their strengths based on their performance in the World Tower[1], rather than their accomplishments in the Realms of Refinement.[2]
Compared to the Trial Tower, the World Tower's difficulty was significantly greater.
Acquiring a World Tower[]
A Bronze Cross-Border Guild with 200.000 God's Domain Fame Points could apply with the Adventurer's Association to construct the first two floors of it's own World Tower.[3]
However, if a Guild managed to acquire its own World Tower, it could lower the Adventurer's Assossiation fee by 50%. This would drastically reduce the Seven Luminaries Crystals it needed to spend (from 100 to 50 units for each test atempt) to let its members take the Advanced Adventurer Certification (second-floor expert certification).
Floors Standards[]
The World Tower (世界塔) have a total of six floors, Off which, only five floors provided trials that directly tested a player's combat standards, while the sixth floor was a empty space. [4]
The World Tower did not provide players with any guidance whatsoever. It merely let players know whether they had reached a certain standard. [4]
First Floor[]
So long as players managed to clear the World Tower's first floor, they would be publicly recognized as experts in the Greater God's Domain. Meanwhile, experts of such caliber were welcomed by the various powers in the Greater God's Domain.[1]
Players were recognized as Basic Adventurers after passing the Adventurer Certification's first-floor test.
Second Floor[]
A second-floor player was a Void Realm expert that also reached the Truth Realm (entry-level to the Realms of Truth).
If a player successfully cleared the second floor, they'd become an expert that even the Greater God's Domain's various peak powers would actively try to recruit.[1]
Players were recognized as Advanced Adventurers after clearing the Adventurer Certification's second-floor test.
Third Floor[]
The third-floor experts were also known as God-ranked experts.
Only after a player reached the Ascension Realm (Second Realm of the Realms of Truth) on top of reaching the Domain Realm would they be considered a true third-floor expert,[2]
Typically, only Tier 6 God-ranked experts would be capable of clearing the World Tower's third floor. Of course, there were bound to be exceptions since not everyone would have the fortune to reach Tier 6.[1]
Players were recognized as Superior Adventurers after clearing the Adventurer Certification's third-floor test.
Fourth Floor[]
The difficulty of the World Tower's third and fourth floors was worlds apart from each other.[1]
The fourth floor's challenge was so difficult that every one of their God's Domain's current fourth-floor experts had only managed to clear the fourth floor after gaining access to the Greater God's Domain and sparring numerous times with the God-ranked experts there.[1]
Fourth-floor players reached the Transcendental Realm (Third Realm of the Realms of Truth), exhibiting the power of Bronze Combat Techniques with their every move. This combined with the Domain Realm’s second step, could allows combine even Bronze Combat Techniques with Skills and Spells.
Players were recognized as Top Adventurers after passing the Adventurer Certification's fourth-floor test.
Titled Experts[]
Titled experts were top-tier existences even among fourth-floor experts.[5] Experts that managed to reach the Domain Realm's third step on top of reaching the Realms of Truth's Trancedental Realm.
Pseudo-Fifth-Floor[]
A pseudo-fifth-floor expert could maintain peak focus at all times. They could even use their sixth sense becoming able to predict all of their opponents’ movements ahead of time and move in response to those predictions. On top of that, they could instinctively exhibit the power of Silver Combat Techniques with their every move. They reached the Extrasensory Realm, also known as Beyond Domain Realm. [6]
Fifth Floor[]
Fifth-floor experts were also known as Realm of God experts.
Experts who had reached the fifth-floor standard were existences standing at the apex of the Greater God’s Domain. Every one of these experts had their own specialty that they could use to integrate their sixth sense with Skills, Spells or Combat Techniques, and by doing so, they could create Exclusive Absolute Techniques.[7]
Theses experts reached the Extrasensory Realm, on top of exhibiting the power of Advanced Silver Combat Techniques, such as Absolute Techniques, with their every move.
After reaching the fifth-floor standard, experts could already consistently predict threats toward them. Unless there was a significant gap in Basic Attributes, any attacks launched by a non-fifth-floor expert against a fifth-floor expert would be useless. Under the same tier, a fifth-floor expert could defeat non-fifth-floor experts in a one-on-one situation without taking a single point of damage.[8]
There were hardly any Tier 6 experts at this standard in the Starlight Realm, let alone Tier 4 experts.[8]
Pseudo-Sixth Floor[]
To be considered a Pseudo-Sixth Floor Expert, players need to fulfill three requirements:
- Achieved the Unthinking Realm,
- Reached Tier 6 Peak Concentration.
- Developed their own set of Gold Combat Techniques.
Half-Step Mortal God[]
Right after Pseudo-Sixth Floor is the Half-Step God phase. It was a term used to refer to players close to becoming a sixth-floor expert, also known as Mortal God.
To be considered a Half-step God, players would need to fulfill two requirements:
- Develop their own Advanced Gold Technique.
- Reach the Tier 6 Limit Concentration standard.
The various Apex powers's old monsters of each race are at this standard.
In reality, once players reached the standard of a Half-step God, their ascension into a Mortal God was virtually guaranteed.
Sixth Floor / Mortal God[]
A sixth-floor expert is also known as a Mortal God.
The World Tower's tests would end when players reached the sixth-floor standard. This was because all that existed on the World Tower's sixth floor was empty space. Players would not be given any trials to determine whether they had transcended the sixth-floor standard or taken the wrong path in their journey of self-improvement. [4]
Every sixth-floor expert was the foundation of their race. [9]
Before players reached the sixth-floor standard, they would expend a lot of Stamina and Concentration when using Advanced Gold-ranked techniques. This held true even for pseudo-sixth-floor experts using their self-developed Advanced Gold techniques. While the cost of using self-developed techniques was lower, it wasn't negligible. [9]
However, once players reached the sixth-floor standard using Advanced Gold-ranked techniques would have a negligible cost. In fact, they could achieve the standard of Advanced Gold techniques with their every move.
Sixth-floor experts would remain at the Tier 6 Limit Concentration standard, their Concentration Pool would become seemingly inexhaustible. For this reason, they could multitask to an unbelievable extent, such as exhibiting 100% of their combat standard via numerous doppelgangers [9] and use multiple instances of a Profound Skill (from Divine Artifacts). [10]
Requirements[]
It was previously believed that when an expert’s Concentration achieved manifold execution through metamorphosis then they would achieve the Sixth-floor standard. Turns out that Concentration was never the key. Instead, the key is to merge Gold techniques with the Unthinking state. Using Gold techniques without conscious thought, only then can one freely use Gold-ranked techniques.
It is also revealed that the Mortal God standard primarily focuses on using and controlling the mind. Or, more specifically, the soul (Manifold Execution).
Categorization[]
The categorization method, called the Realms of Essence, divided the sixth-floor standard into:
- Refinement
- Flowing Water
- Void
Void Essence Experts were already capable of simultaneously fighting against several or even a dozen novice sixth-floor experts.[11]
