Born Sacred-Chapter 38: Ghost Level Disaster

"The harvest isn’t great," Noah said with some disdain. Not only were both rewards of Ordinary quality, but they were also useless.

Aside from the attribute crystals, the drops were much worse than the zero-order instance. At least the zero-order instance gave Excellent quality rewards. He didn’t know if his luck was bad or if the best items were in the Difficult difficulty.

Regardless, Noah wasn’t planning to enter the Ordinary difficulty again. Choosing Ordinary difficulty for the first run was just to get the team accustomed.

...

After browsing the forum for a while, a message notification sounded. Noah checked and found it was Rose. She had sent over a relatively detailed document.

This included the current number of First Order Blue Star Awakeners, the top teams, which instances they were clearing, and so on.

"This is something I can see?"

Noah couldn’t help but sigh, giving a thumbs-up to the officials.

Generous and open-minded.

Rose sent a message: "The higher-ups are very concerned about the progress of other countries. Privately, countries exchange some important intelligence. Although there are definitely concealments, it can still serve as a reference."

"For example, the reward situation for the Easy difficulty of the First Order instance was provided by Sunrise Nation."

"Hehe, Sunrise Nation asked for quite a price. This time, we cleared the Ordinary difficulty. Only we know the reward situation, which is perfect for making them pay up."

Noah flipped through the document, occasionally checking Rose’s messages.

The number of First Order Blue Star Awakeners wasn’t large, about over three hundred people. There were over fifty top teams currently clearing or preparing to clear the First Order instance.

Some of these top teams were clearing Ordinary difficulty, while others were clearing Easy difficulty.

After the Sun Goddess Squad was the first to clear Easy difficulty, the latter group unhesitatingly gave up their progress and joined the former.

As for the Difficult difficulty, no team dared to enter yet.

After all, Ordinary difficulty was already that hard, let alone Difficult. It was the smart choice to gather enough intelligence in Ordinary difficulty, get stronger with the rewards obtained from clearing, and then attempt the Difficult difficulty.

"Three hundred is too few. Next, the number of First Order Awakeners should increase," Noah said with certainty.

Based on the current situation, an SS-grade Talent was basically required to pass the Advancement Instance.

Globally, there were nearly ten thousand Awakeners with SS-grade Talent.

These people had either failed the clear and were in the ten-day cooldown, or were unable to enter the instance for various reasons.

Therefore, the number of First Order Awakeners was far from just this.

Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t advance without reaching SS-grade. It depended on the specific team. Zara, with S-grade, also reached First Order, not to mention Claire with E-grade.

If there was a perfect guide, sufficient equipment support, or good skills and items, perhaps S-grade Talent could also pass the Advancement Instance.

If there were more items like Spiritual Rice Root seedling, the clear conditions would decrease.

Speaking of perfect guides, Noah thought of the Guardian.

The document showed that among the Blue Star Awakeners, the number of people who had reached full growth value but were stuck at the Advancement Instance was a hundred times the number of First Order Awakeners, and it was increasing at an extremely rapid pace.

This situation was thanks to the Guardian, who published a perfect guide on the Supernatural Awakener forum.

"The perfect guide for the Advancement Instance is probably coming soon," Noah mused.

According to his guess, the Guardian could write perfect guides because of their special Talent. So, writing a perfect guide for the Advancement Instance was also reasonable, it just depended on whether the other party was willing to publish it.

At that time, the number of First Order Awakeners would surge again.

Noah didn’t feel much pressure.

If Rose and the others were the first echelon among the First Order Awakeners, he was undoubtedly an existence beyond the standard.

"Overall, the relationship between the countries on Blue Star is a mix of competition and cooperation."

At this point, Rose sent a message.

Noah saw it and casually said, "It would be great if we could really cooperate."

As far as he knew, the conflicts between the countries on Blue Star were not small, and some countries even had long-standing feuds.

"We can, because of the Ghost-Level Calamity," Rose paused before replying.

Ghost-Level Calamity!

Noah’s heart tightened. He naturally hadn’t forgotten the sudden appearance of the Disaster countdown and the so-called Ghost-Level Calamity.

However, having no information channels, he didn’t know what this so-called Ghost-Level Calamity meant. Now that he heard Rose mention it proactively, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to ask.

"What is a Ghost-Level Calamity?" Noah immediately inquired.

"It’s a terrifying Disaster that sweeps across the globe, requiring everyone in the world to resist together. It’s countless times more terrifying than the warning-nature global monster attack that occurred when everyone first awakened," Rose slowly replied.

"The Supernatural Management Bureau has an SSS-grade Awakener with a precognitive Talent. He can see parts of the future, and it was he who issued the warning."

"Disasters are divided into five levels: Heaven, Earth, God, Human, and Ghost. Ghost-Level is the weakest level. However, even the weakest Ghost-Level Calamity is an immense threat to Blue Star. Among the countless Demonized Monsters that attack, there are powerful Three-order existences, and not just one. In the vision he saw, Blue Star paid an incredibly heavy price to repel them."

"The countries on Blue Star also decided to put aside their conflicts and strengthen cooperation because of the threat of the Ghost-Level Calamity. Of course, because the Ghost-Level Calamity hasn’t truly arrived, they are all half-believing and half-doubting, and the extent of their cooperation is very limited."

By the end, Rose also sounded a bit helpless.

The information about the Ghost-Level Calamity was naturally provided by Lin Ming. To conceal the existence of this reborn person, they used the guise of precognition. It was normal for other countries not to believe it, but Starfall Country didn’t rely on them anyway.
