Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"Sis~!"

Yan Dinghan's voice carried a hint of guilt that was barely perceptible, and his eyes darted away, not daring to look directly at Yan Shuangling.

"Um!"

Yan Shuangling responded softly, her tone flat and even, but her gaze passed over Yan Dinghan and landed on Luo Yuerao beside Gu Ye.

His eyes were clear and cold, without any superfluous emotion, as if he were examining an ordinary object, yet there was a subtle, almost imperceptible scrutiny in them.

Luo Yuerao also saw her and was shocked. She didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful girl next to Gu Ye.

It seems Yan Ding was right; his sister is indeed very beautiful.

Gu Ye, however, failed to grasp the subtle difference in their eyes, taking it merely as the normal curiosity of strangers meeting for the first time, and quickly stepped forward with a smile to introduce them:

"This is Luo Yue Rao from the capital!"

"This is Yan Dinghan's older sister, Yan Shuangling."

"Hello there."

Yan Shuangling's expression remained unchanged; she merely nodded slightly, her tone still aloof and cold, offering no further pleasantries, yet still maintaining her politeness.

Luo Yuerao smiled slightly and nodded politely, saying in a gentle tone, "Hello."

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Dinghan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret; he hadn't witnessed the carnage described in the novel.

He had his phone ready for this scene.

"Shuangling, what's the purpose of those stairs?"

Gu Ye looked at the steps in the distance that were already covered with people and asked curiously.

"Ascending the Divine Stairs!"

Yan Shuangling's voice had just fallen.

At the same time, Ye Qihuang's voice rang in Gu Ye's mind, her tone filled with rare shock and doubt, echoing clearly in his mind in unison with Yan Shuangling:

"Ascending the Divine Stairs!"

Gu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned to look at Yan Shuangling, asking, "What is the purpose of this Ascension Steps?"

These words were directed at Yan Shuangling, and simultaneously posed to Ye Qihuang in his mind.

Luo Yuerao and Yan Dinghan both looked at her, wanting to hear the information as well.

Yan Shuangling parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and cold like the clash of jade stones, and slowly began to speak:

"Do you see that huge stone monument over there?"

The three looked in the direction she pointed, and there indeed stood a huge stone tablet beside the steps in the distance, surrounded by a crowd of people.

"The [Ascension Stairs] in front of us is a test, but also an opportunity to obtain the [Spirit Sealing Cauldron]."

"If you can climb to the highest point, you will obtain the [Spirit Sealing Cauldron] and control the fate of others."

Yan Shuangling's eyes gleamed as she stared intently at the deepest part of the stairs.

Gu Ye noticed that the people from each faction on the mountaintop were maintaining a brief period of tranquility because no one had yet obtained the [Spirit Sealing Cauldron] and they were all still observing.

"I've been here two days longer than you, and I've also gathered some information."

Yan Shuangling led the three of them toward the [Ascension to Godhood Staircase], talking as they walked.

"At this moment, the candidate from the Nine Earths Federation, Nie Xinghe, has climbed to the top of the ladder, at step 5467."

"The Nine Lands Federation!"

The strongest force in all the federations, and it's not even a native force on Earth.

The Nine Earth Federation is the original inhabitants who emerged from the Card Domain when the "Domain River" descended and invaded reality.

After thousands of years of development, they absorbed countless natives from the card domains and formed the current Nine Earth Federation.

Yan Shuangling continued, "Second is Cui Lieqiong from the capital of our Yanxia Federation, at level 4978."

Upon hearing that she was from the capital, Gu Ye turned to look at Luo Yuerao beside him:

How much do you know about Cui Lieqiong?

Luo Yuerao shook her head upon hearing this. "He is the number one genius of the Affiliated High School of Imperial Capital University. The Cui family is very mysterious and protects him very well. Even the Luo family has not been able to find out much information about him."

Upon hearing Luo Yuerao's words, Yan Shuangling couldn't help but glance at her.

"Third is Li Weihuan of the Yanxia Federation, rank 4843; fourth is Devon Dudley of the Meiying Federation, rank 4814; fifth..."

Hearing the names of each genius and competing against them made Gu Ye feel his blood boil.

"Sis, where are you ranked?" Yan Dinghan raised an eyelid, his eyes full of curiosity.

"The thirty-ninth, step 4543."

Yan Dinghan gave her a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

Gu Ye nodded in agreement. She was indeed impressive. With ten powerful forces, one could imagine how many talented young people there would be. To rank thirty-ninth showed just how strong Yan Shuangling was.

"Sister, I want to hear what the rules are for the [Ascension to Godhood] ceremony. I want to participate and show them what a genius from the Yan family looks like."

Yan Dinghan interrupted Yan Shuangling, looking at the steps ahead with longing.

Yan Shuangling glared at him speechlessly, then began to discuss matters related to the [Ascension to the Divine Staircase].

"The most important first point about the [Ascending the Divine Stairs] is that you can fight on it. As long as you are strong enough, you can kill everyone on the stairs."

At this moment, Yan Shuangling looked somewhat puzzled. "The second point is tempering. When climbing the stairs, the longswords on the stairs will generate sword energy, which tempers the card master's body, spiritual energy, and mental strength."

Gu Ye was overjoyed upon hearing this, never expecting that climbing the [Ascension to Godhood Staircase] would bring such benefits.

"The third point is that each card master has one chance to climb the [Ascension to Godhood Stairs] once a day. Each stair has a hurdle of one thousand steps, and the test for each hurdle is different."

Yan Dinghan looked at his sister and asked, "Is it over?"

"Um!"

Seeing his sister nod, Yan Dinghan excitedly grabbed Gu Ye's hand and walked towards the [Ascending the Divine Staircase].

Seeing this, Yan Shuangling shook her head helplessly and quickly followed the two with Luo Yuerao.

Just then, Ye Xihuang's voice rang out again:

"Gu Ye, there's one thing that the woman didn't make clear."

"What does that mean?" Gu Ye asked in his mind, puzzled.

"This [Ascension Staircase] was specially designed by the Celestial Venerable of the Mysterious Sword in order to break through to the mythical realm. It contains the divine energy of the corpse of a mythical-level powerhouse."

Sitting in the Soul Card Space, Ye Xihuang could clearly see the magnificent staircase in the distance through Gu Ye's perspective. Her eyes were calm as still water, and she murmured:

"I didn't expect him to actually do it."

Ye Qihuang clearly remembered that at the time, the Ghost Sword Celestial Venerable's face was filled with excitement, saying that he wanted to create a treasure that could help everyone become a myth, but until he was killed by Ye Qihuang, there was no news of it.

She thought he had failed, but she never expected to see him in this card domain.

"Mythical level?"

"What exactly is the function of the [Ascension to Godhood]?" Gu Ye asked hurriedly.

"It can grant divinity to those without divinity, and enhance the divinity of those with divinity, making you stronger faster."

Hearing this information, Gu Ye understood that after leaving the [Tianding Mountain] domain, the restrictions that aristocratic families placed on commoners who were at the mythical level might be greatly reduced.

However, it still requires the card players to grow and improve.

"You can stay up there as long as you want, and the effect of the [Ascension to Godhood] is continuous. You get one chance every day, and you can grow a lot."

"OK!"

Gu Ye now realizes that having an elder in the family is truly like having a treasure.

If it weren't for her, Gu Ye wouldn't have known so many things.
