"Puppet Masters breaking through to the seventh tier can be quite challenging under the current talent conditions..."
This gift, which had yet to be fully digested, however, pointed Lu Ping’an down another path, a shortcut to power that merely required spending money.
After becoming Rule-level, Lu at this point also encountered various bottlenecks... But if it only meant allowing the Courtyard to consume more Rule Items, supplementing the rules of the courtyard world, it would not only raise Lu Ping’an’s upper limit in corresponding rules, provided he had enough support, he might even be granted usable power directly.
"Being able to use it is enough... but better mastery wouldn’t be a bad thing either."
At this time, Lu Ping’an realized that the Rule-Level and Truth-Level items he once saw as treasures weren’t so unattainable for him.
He could purchase Flaming Element Rule-Level items to enhance his Element Mastery abilities. Similarly, paths where talents like Runner and Heavy Armor Warrior were lacking, could all be compensated for through "burning money."
Top-tier Rule Items and high-quality Forbidden Items, powerful and rare, often the core equipment for a professional, were unrealistic to procure... But from what Lu Ping’an knew, those rule items that were undesirable, dangerous, or simply too costly to use were still available on the market.
Lu had acquired some before, but later found that exchanging them for points was a pure loss. Now, the situation was different; Lu Ping’an could indeed "burn money" to enhance his "talent."
And from his current perspective, this did not seem like a losing deal at all; for other high-tier professionals, it was too difficult to catch up, their talents alone barring their advance, yet Lu Ping’an could undergo a fundamental transformation from the root.
Although the short-term improvement might not be noticeable, it seemed Lu Ping’an now had enough time to accumulate, and to a high-level individual of the seventh and eighth order, several years of effort could be completed in a single stride.
"Now, having a channel, I could arrange a long-term purchase..."
Lu had offered bounties before, but some things couldn’t be obtained with resources and money.
Now, under the guise of the Heavy Commerce Association, Lu Ping’an should be able to receive some.
As a "Big Shot," Lu Ping’an now had the qualifications to make seemingly uneconomical long-term investments.
"Has it already started?" But some things wouldn’t wait for him.
And when the moonlight fell from the sky and the appointed time arrived, Lu Ping’an’s "digestion" had yet to finish, so he had to hurriedly attend the ceremony.
Night fell deeper into darkness.
On the deck, Lu Ping’an and the others admired the stars in the sky. When another "bright moon" emerged... it effortlessly overshadowed the luminance of the original moon, and as the infinite moonlight fell, the world’s oceans quivered slightly.
The wind changed, the moon changed, and so did the sea.
The moonlight called forth the tides, the tides stirred the undercurrents.
The undercurrents, blanketed in moonlight, were twisted by great power, and vortexes were born.
On the other side of the fleet, a large number of underwater vortexes emerged, growing larger and larger.
The "moon’s gravity" continued to pull, and as the vortexes sped up, when the celestial moonlight spilled into them, the vortexes collided and merged.
"Vibration?"
The others could only enjoy the spectacle, but Lu, who already held a high professional standing in this regard, truly understood.
It was the "moonlight" that shifted the gravity, and the moonlight drove the gravity, which in turn pulled at the water, its vibration changing the frequency of the sea’s surface.
"Power... The form of energy is constantly changing."
Worthy of being the Deity of the Constant Motion system at the pinnacle, her energy transformation was so efficient, the ...
And in the front row of the first ship was the Quasi-God Lu Ping’an had seen last time.
Surrounding these fleets, groups of Fishmen slowly swam about, seemingly already arranged in battle formations.
The Quasi-God and high-tier combat power Lu Ping’an had seen last time were also among the first to enter.

They were generally very excited, some shouting loudly, others even with tears brimming in their eyes.
"Revenge!!"
No one knew who it was, but someone shouted the Fishman word for "revenge," and one by one, tridents, long spears, and war flags began to wave, the atmosphere growing increasingly fiery.
And at some point, the Holy-emblem with the "Ark" had descended.
The illusionary massive Lamp Tree became a reality; the "God of Struggle and Redemption," though still a Quasi-God, was sufficient with the help of this world to bless this legion.
Pale blue light covered every arrow and blade edge—will equaled power, and hatred was the purest and most obsessed will.
When the injured cried out with the hope of revenge, the Deity of "Struggle" would bestow upon them the Divine Grace of revenge.
This benefaction, only against the "Octopus," should be able to exert most of its effect even in the opposing world.
"The third Divine Position, it’s truly revenge..."
This time, Lu Ping’an was merely a witness, yet he could sense the Gods above paying attention to this growing whirlpool.
Divine Grace, blessings, and even the sudden arrival of a Divine Envoy, They had fulfilled Their promises and began to interfere in this world-scale bloodshed in Their own way.
"Let’s go."
Lu Ping’an didn’t continue to watch because it was really not meaningful.
A great number of soldiers, warriors, would step into another world, facing an enemy several times their own in number, and they would have to quickly adapt to that world’s environment... Even the most optimistic of staff admitted that the casualties in this battle would exceed thirty percent at least.
With a snap of his fingers, a large amount of Life-points were consumed, and two super-sized Aquatic Lamp Trees rose on both sides of the whirlpool.
Lu, not yet able to bless them, would offer warmth and sunlight... Countless "maple leaves" fell on the sea, some warriors instinctively picking them up.
These glowing leaves could bring a degree of light and warmth even in another world.
On the other side, two Ark ships of the Rebirth Commerce anchored here, providing a degree of commercial service while also extending the "Trading Land network" to this location.
At least the "Weapon Sales" on Lu Ping’an’s side saw their revenue increase several-fold in the short term... Soldiers heading into battle often lost their sensitivity to money, willing to spend everything they had for something that could help them survive, even if it was clearly an amulet of luck born from superstition.
This time on Lu Ping’an’s shelves, though, most of the weapons were designed "for the Fishmen"... The Fishmen, both local and foreign, bought with a vengeance, unwilling to leave until they emptied their wallets.
After the Fishman warriors, serving as the vanguard, stepped into the whirlpool, the second wave to follow were countless Saphire warriors.
It is worth mentioning that some of the Saphire warriors, with Sub-dragon (tropical Lizard) bloodlines, who typically lived in the Desert Kingdom and were not accustomed to water warfare... Yet now, many sailors, doubling in their roles, bravely stepped onto the battlefield.
How would they perform, could they really adapt to the environment? The only consolation was that, with the intervention of professionals like Wang Xier and other Saphire people, they did not lack various ships and personal craft.
This place was already doomed to become a new frontline of battle, with more and more warships either anchoring here or directly entering the new battlefield.
Following the Saphire people were the familiar war flags and warships of Lu Ping’an... Since the "Comrade Legion" had already deployed, as the orchestrator, the Eastern Country’s military naturally followed suit.
Next, came local Free Fish People, Free Insect Race, and numerous Long Hand Clan warriors.
At this moment, the plane-wide war had fully commenced.
And this time, it shifted from defense to offense.
For revenge? For survival? Perhaps, it was for a world where one could live comfortably and not starve, to the end of one’s days.
