Chapter 159 End of Volume·Ivy War(1/2)
"Ivy Wars?"
Xia Xiu's face was full of doubts, and then he asked the question that went straight to the core, "Who defined this war?"
"This concept was originally proposed by the Edici Federation. I continued to improve along the points they proposed, and finally came up with the definition - Ivy War."
0-03 stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the holographic projection equipment in front of him that he had just adjusted. The outline of his palm appeared particularly clear in the faint light, and every movement revealed precision and precision.
Confident. Immediately afterwards, he delicately pinched an image in the projection with his index finger and thumb, then gently pulled it and began to magnify the image.
"As you said before, the [Golden Tree] houses a 'beast', and the opponent's inner being is an abominable evil that tries to devour everything. That is also the essence of the [Financial Street]; the [World Tree] is similar
In the ordinary existence of Terra [Alaya], she always gives birth to gods, but the gods she gives birth to always exclude the human race.
Now, the Edici Federation has combined the two, and the financial evil has forcibly merged with the World Tree to form the [Golden Tree-Godhead]. This new existence has now gone from absolutely rejecting humans to relatively and periodically rejecting humans.
According to the notification issued by the Edici Federation, the Golden Tree and the Golden Royal Court each inherited the shortcomings of [Financial Street] and [World Tree]."
“[Financial Street] operates through financial cycles, which are the natural fluctuations that must be experienced when financial circulation occurs, including the four stages of expansion, peak, recession and trough.
Expansion, which is the rising phase of the economic cycle, is characterized by an increase in economic activity, including growth in production, employment, and consumption. During this period, extraordinary business investment increases, and [Financial Street] Twelve Federal Savings Banks' credit conditions are usually looser.
Extraordinary people's confidence and spending increase, and they are willing to pay more of their [future] in exchange for [the present].
Then comes the peak, when expansion reaches its peak and economic activity reaches its maximum. During the peak period, there are usually phenomena such as increased inflationary pressure and increased resource utilization. According to current parlance, this is when the so-called ‘economic overheating’ is prone to occur.
Nowadays, many economists and financial risk controllers in Terra are arguing fiercely about whether the current economy is overheated. The debaters can be divided into the 'overheating' faction and the 'not overheating' faction. The 'overheating' faction also includes the 'global overheating' faction.
and 'locally overheated' pies."
0-03 While the hands-on operation is taking place, the conversation continues.
"Then what follows is the familiar recession. From the peak to the recession stage, economic activities begin to slow down, and the growth of production and capital slows down or even turns to negative growth. The recession period is usually accompanied by individual extraordinary people and extraordinary enterprises' future overdrafts and reduced investment. [Financial
The collapse of the street means the emergence of "unemployed people" in large numbers.
These 'unemployed people' are not as simple as dying. They will gradually become 'financial ghosts' because they cannot repay their debts; and banks are facing great difficulties such as a large number of bad debts, falling asset values and tight capital liquidity. They may even go bankrupt.
.
Finally came the low point.
It brings economic activity to its lowest point, but it is also a signal that the cycle is about to reverse. During the trough, the recession stops, paving the way for the next round of expansion.
What goes around and over again, the eternal cycle, is [Financial Street].”
As the holographic projection gradually shrunk, Xia Xiu's eyes moved downwards, and finally locked on the image showing the [Golden Tree]. In the picture, the lush branches and leaves of the [Golden Tree] gradually converged, revealing that the world
The mysterious realm at the bottom of the tree——[Utgard].
Here, far away from the sky, no daylight can be seen.
“We angels in heaven all like to call [Financial Street] – ‘the all-powerful holy machine that overdrafts the future’.
[Financial Street] The most basic gameplay is: according to the range from 1 to 100, you can overdraft at will - when your ability is 1, the most rational overdraft range should be 5; that 1 is your original capital.
That 5 is an overdraft of healthy capital, because you can afford to pay back the overdraft.
But humans are always greedy, and finance also collapsed due to human greed.
There will definitely be people who will use 1 to overdraft 100, and there will definitely be people who will try to collect more 1s to continue overdrafting.
Someone will definitely find a way to transfer the 100 debt that they should have paid to someone else.
Someone will definitely create a chain of countless 100s, swallow up all the 100s in the chain, and throw the debt to others.
There are definitely people who will continue to accumulate overdrafts, blow up bubbles, and cash out other people's 100.
What does the hell of others have to do with me, and what does the collapse of others have to do with me.
In the financial chain, financial evils continue to accumulate. Standing at the top of financial evils, those who have made great achievements look down on those who are desperate.
Losers are unable to pay their overdrafts, despair and misery become evil spirits, and the financial tide requires those who contract to pay off their debts to calm the tide; the fruitful top ignores them because they only need to pay their 'debts'.
If the wave of anger cannot be quelled, the power that essentially represents collapse will devour existing concepts along the so-called causal line - the borrower's relatives, friends, fellow tribesmen, even the race, the entire country, and the entire civilization.
"
In the dark [Utgard], the holographic image revealed a heart-stopping scene: countless miserable and terrifying ghosts crowded and entwined with each other in the darkness, forming a vast sea of the dead. These
The wails and resentments from the wronged souls gathered into the wind and blew through every corner, making people feel a kind of coldness and despair that penetrated deep into the bones.
There is no trace of life here, only endless silence and coldness, and all souls are immersed in eternal pain.

, that is, the Kingdom of the Dead. Unless someone redeems them, they must forever fight for the Golden Tree and the gods of the Golden Court."
0-03 The fingers are still enlarging.
In the waves of this sea of the dead, stands a huge temple - [Hall of Valor].
In front of the hall stood a golden ash tree, and from the ceiling hung golden shields.
There are various creatures living around [Hall of Valor], such as stags and goats.
There are also undead there, but their appearance is countless times better than the monsters in the terrifying wave outside.
"The shortcoming of [World Tree] is the 'Twilight of the Gods', which happens to merge with the periodicity of [Financial Street], and forms the so-called cyclical crisis of the end of the world. It happens to merge with the financial cycle, resulting in
A very interesting phenomenon has emerged, that is, the originally erratic doomsday can now be observed."
0-03 Scale the picture again, this time moving the picture from the bottom to the top.
The towering golden tree stands in the center of the world. Its branches and leaves shine with dazzling golden light, as if absorbing all the brilliance between heaven and earth. This is not only a tree, but also a mysterious hub connecting nine worlds. Every leaf
, every drop of dew contains endless wisdom and power.
Surrounded by the vast starry sky, the stars are dotted and the Milky Way crosses it, adding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to this golden tree.
Under these stars, stands a pure white palace - the "Silver Hall". It is made of countless pure white silver bricks. Each silver brick shines with a soft and holy luster, making the surrounding golden light shine.
The reflection becomes even more dazzling.
The white and silver hall is like frost and snow in the morning light, pure and flawless, exuding an inviolable sanctity.
The door of the hall is open, and the invisible force invites all onlookers to enter this mythical place.
Passing through the tall hallway, what comes into view is the "Supreme Throne" in the center of the hall, which exudes supreme majesty.
This throne is made of the purest gold and silver, and is engraved with complex runes and totems. Each carving demonstrates supreme power and wisdom.
There is a bright broken golden halo suspended above the throne, which illuminates the throne, making it look like a place where gods have descended.
In front of this throne, time and space seemed to slow down, all sounds were silent, and only soft light flowed in the air.
This is not only the core of the Golden Tree, but also the place where the order and destiny of the entire universe are controlled.
Standing here, you can feel the intersection of past, present and future, and hear the breathing and heartbeat in the depths of the universe.
"The golden ring standing on the Supreme Throne is broken now, but it longs for completeness - according to the cyclical law, the initial golden tree is expanding, and when the expansion is completed, the golden ring will be completed.
The way to complete the Dharma Ring is - the boundary wedge of all realms, the faith and surrender of the people in the realm, the completion of the Golden Tree Law, and the contribution to financial circulation...
When the magic circle is completely completed, it will transform into the most powerful godhead.
Of course, you can also understand it as a [miracle].
Moreover, the Golden Tree gives more than that. Together with this [miracle] is: the godhead of the entire branch of the god system, a huge plane, the qualification of the supreme commander of the Golden Court, the authority of the Supreme Seat...
"
"And the most interesting thing is that this [miracle] and generosity belong to all realms, and the [Golden Tree] promulgates the "Ivy Law" to the outside world.
Specifically, this method can be understood as - artificially detonating the periodic crisis that should have occurred, that is, using the law to limit the war between the worlds that could have triggered the end of the Golden Tree. This law has the greatest restrictions on those high-stage extraordinary beings.
If other external groups want to enter, they must also be recognized by the Golden Tree."
These two laws are too targeted, and they are obviously directly aimed at the Kingdom of Heaven.
Students from the two houses of Heavenly Kingdom were obviously excluded.
"According to outsiders, the war induced by the Ivy Law is essentially a combination of divine agent war, alien war, occult war, academy war, war of all realms, etc.
You can start a war and seize the boundary wedge;
You can evolve peacefully and capture faith;
You can set up a secret religion and establish a complete path to complete the ascension of the divine system;
You can study academics and advance rule completion;
You can run companies and facilitate financial flows.
Everyone who wants to complete the Golden Ring can choose one or more of the war routes to advance.
The settlement method of the war is calculated based on the overall value of route completion - among all routes, whoever has the highest completion rate and has not been killed at the time of settlement is the winner.
This is an absolute, irreconcilable zero-sum game - the sum of the interests among all game participants is a fixed value, and the interests (or losses) gained by one participant are entirely determined by the interests of another or multiple participants.
To compensate for the loss (or reduced profit) - and no matter who the winner is, the [Golden Tree] itself will never lose."
"Hugh Abraham, whoever becomes the winner of this war will surely reach the top of the miracle and become a saint in the eyes of the world."
Hearing 0-03's words, the blond young man couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the vacant "Supreme Throne".
