If our final match against Jack is in book 4 it would be kinda funny because it would mirror the dragonball online ending for Vegeta and Goku where they go far out in space to decide whose better once and for all and let it all loose.
Nah, it would be like Jack deciding to be a demonic cultivator and be known as Majin Jack just to be able to throw a fade with a resurrected John Auraclash, which inadvertently leads to the two fighting Majin Stu together in the Upper Realms trustIf our final match against Jack is in book 4 it would be kinda funny because it would mirror the dragonball online ending for Vegeta and Goku where they go far out in space to decide whose better once and for all and let it all loose.
Majin Stu smoking the ascendants after killing everyone in the planet.Nah, it would be like Jack deciding to be a demonic cultivator and be known as Majin Jack just to be able to throw a fade with a resurrected John Auraclash, which inadvertently leads to the two fighting Majin Stu together in the Upper Realms trust![]()
This, despite the match Trapper has with Mido, you're unironically better off with Herbalist or Merchant. You really can't beat the extra money or the extra AP you get from both backgrounds. The birb ain't even helpful if you're gonna be aiming to be able to win your fights anyway.I know it's against the Mido larp but abandon trapper for herbalist or merchant.
Actually switched to herbalist because of it. My default was always aoyu+merchant bc of the early currency you can amass as a merchant but herbalist positively surprised me with all the mini events and AP gains scattered about. Money ended up not being much of an issue as I hoped especially on getting to nanhou where you have ample opportunity to get more funds.Trapper rn seems by far the worst background with nothing other than us getting the bird. Even blacksmith has something like being able to dual wield if you're on Eldra's mentor route if you don't meet the other requirements for dual wielding beforehandThis, despite the match Trapper has with Mido, you're unironically better off with Herbalist or Merchant.

Book 4, actually.Considering the Thunderfaller is obviously gonna end up ascending by the end of Book 2 or later, what happens if they're a Demonic Cultivator? Get trapped in hell? Furthermore, what about Monkey Yokai with Sun Wukong's inheritance? Won't the Heavens recognize that immediately?
Also, will Reptile Yokai just become a Dragon after ascending? That'd be so lit ngl, might just become the best race after Oni in my opinion if that's the case
Do you gain anything from passing all 6? Plus the companion and weapon check?Do you guys have any advice on maximizing Mido run with no corruption? I really struggled on that 6 per core check before the Taio fight, literally only missing one, which probably wouldn't have happened if Trapper wasn't so ahh and the Walking Dragon Technique didn't bug
You unlock fang's questDo you gain anything from passing all 6? Plus the companion and weapon check?
Just a little bit more AP IIRCDo you gain anything from passing all 6? Plus the companion and weapon check?
If only dude.You unlock fang's quest
LIterally just a few more AP, but I'm a sucker for AP and can't handle any check fails, so I always use Handseals to cheat my way through every situation. I had min-maxed this Mido build with the right Core Distribution, removed my Weighted Clothing just for that single check to increase my Agility by 1 core, then was only left lacking a single Soul Core, something that would have not happened if Walking Dragon actually worked! Bro that was the entire reason why I chose Reptile YokaiDo you gain anything from passing all 6? Plus the companion and weapon check?
So the endgame is we literally become a Demon Lord with our own Dungeon World? Bro why would we ever choose to be in Chinese Heaven instead, that sounds a lot better.Book 4, actually.
Book 2 is about our Archon training & Missions. Book 3 about our Grandkid. Book 4 return to Thunderfaller, being now a Top-Tier of the world.
Regarding Demonic Cultivators. As Corrupted Chi is unbalanced and outside the Heavenly Dao/Will, a corrupt cultivator can't ascend. Their option, basically, when a Demonic Cultivator is strong enough for/Some extremely powerful Demons/Fiends: Is to a open a Artificial Domain that will be know as a "Hell". It's based on Soul Anchor(s) that if destroyed would indeed cause in the collapse of the Dimension, but that is nearly impossible. As Anon said, it's extremely difficult to find the Soul Anchor and the closer you get to one the stronger is the Demon-Ruler power in the environment, to a point that reality-warping powers are a possibility.
Some of the "Thousands Hells" were already invaded and it ended extremely bad to the invaders, because the most usual end is to the Invader fail to a Soul Trap and end being turned to fuel to the Hell.
Hells are artificial pocket dimensions rather than a proper Realm, as compared to the Mortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm/Bureaucracy. There are thousands of Hells(And they're informally called of it, "Thousand of Hells"), and usually they're bigger than the world they're linked to. By Anon words, some of the Hells are so much bigger that they indeed can be confused with a proper Realm, although they aren't, formally.
If I'm not mistaken, Anon also commented that a Hell being generated "naturally" by a huge agglomeration of corrupted Chi is also possible.
In short, a hell is a artificial pocket dimension created by a Extremely Strong Fiend/Corrupt Cultivator that now rule it as a "Demi-God". These hells have a Soul Anchor and some of them are extremely bigger than the World they're linked to, with multiple branches. So much bigger that is natural to think it's a proper Realm.
Anon was ambiguous regarding this one, but based on his explanation, although is extremely difficult to find and destroy a Soul Anchor, a particularly strong Ruler of one Hell may can invade and conquer another.
My prediction is that it will be extremely useful in the 2nd book, and we'll look like total losers choosing Merchant for the cash. Mido is obviously Anon's favorite style, so it wouldn't really surprise meWhy hasn't peer pressure forced anon to make Trapper good yet?
Because you are very weak in that grand scales what totenkopf described is the best scenario the average hell is smaller than an inner kingdom in size and you are still an ant to even the weakest Ascended and still even the biggest best hell will be cooked by a United Rasen not the world just United Rasen can destroy hells according to Anon.So the endgame is we literally become a Demon Lord with our own Dungeon World? Bro why would we ever choose to be in Chinese Heaven instead, that sounds a lot better.
How many books are planned in this series then? And will the ascension be the ending of the book, or through the book itself? I kinda want to play as a Demi-God Demon Lord Aoyu Oni, who obviously will have his own Devil Transformation from the context clues, and managed my Hell. It'd be funny if I just made my Hell really luxurious and comfortable, with the Demonic Chi being gathered from just the positive emotions I gather with Aoyusumu powers. Literally making my own Heaven just because I don't want to deal with bureaucracy...
I see, I thought this was more like Xianxia where Demon Lords and the Ascended are actually the same thing, just different factions. It seems that Demonic Cultivators really are bums, though I'd wager that Anon will probably write something that allows Demonic Cultivator Thunderfaller to become a God. I mean, I feel like you're essentially wasting your time if you don't demon cultivate as an Oni. There are certain tropes like being a 'Heavenly Demon', after all, and even in Dragon Ball, the Demons are equal to the Gods.Because you are very weak in that grand scales what totenkopf described is the best scenario the average hell is smaller than an inner kingdom in size and you are still an ant to even the weakest Ascended and still even the biggest best hell will be cooked by a United Rasen not the world just United Rasen can destroy hells according to Anon.
"That being said, if they ever wanted to, a united Imperial Rasen could demolish any one force. Nothing is really safe. It's just a question of why the Exalted Council would give up the status quo to risk it, when the current situation has them on top"
This was in regards to talk about destroying hells it only ever ends bad because it's just the temple alone doing it now support from the capital or the 5 inner kingdoms and even then few times the temples have been successful without any real support.
So with all the hell stuff you are only stronger than the people in real World only inside your hell if you are outside it you aren't that far above you are only one of the top tiers like legitimately Wukong can still beat a demon lord solo even a few others can in a 1 vs 1 Wukong himself is stuck as a wild god and is weaker than any ascended.
If it isn't Obvious the only reason they need a force is because of the demon lord not being in the real World.
The reason why the demon lords aren't stronger simply because without ascending you lack the resources for a higher ap and second demonic chi is temporary and like a fuel you need to keep filling it back up it's a temporary source.So solo Power gains are stuck at a level and you need to be in your hell to actually be above the other top tiers.
As for heavens in AC the bureaucracy is easy going unlike the Chinese one and there are a lot of gods from throughout the vast universe of Aura Clash so it isn't Chinese mythology you will have some names from there but then names from other mythos there is no one king in heavens it is like a council of the strongest Ascended.
A Hell's lord is still a Country tier and inside his hell he is stronger still not even a continent tier really.
While the newly Ascended is already a planet buster and after that it's only bigger levels like solar system,then galaxy then more and more.
The only reason hells aren't eradicated on spot by Ascended is because they are hidden and even if they weren't an Ascended destroying it from heavens will cause a lot of collateral to the world.
Having kaito's foundation and then trying to get something similar to a shard dome is way better deal if you don't want to ascend simply because hells only has brutes and people who are basically fuel even though some do make other things it's still not an Actual society because even if the lord is smart and visionary the people who partake in demonic Cultivation are unpleasant and shortsighted bums for the most part.
Ac already has a structure also the demons in Db still are inferior to destroyers so nah even if you take db you will be weak as hell ascended are more like Angels of db since they aren't supposed to even interfere with the planets unless something big happens and even then limited,still the comparison doesn't matter here.I see, I thought this was more like Xianxia where Demon Lords and the Ascended are actually the same thing, just different factions.

There are certain tropes like being a 'Heavenly Demon', after all, and even in Dragon Ball, the Demons are equal to the Gods.
I feel like Taio's research will be exactly this. What is his plan anyway? I believe he is already on the cusp of becoming a Demon Lord (Original Taio), but is poseponing it so he can research a way to ascend as a Demonic Cultivator. Demonic Thunderfaller will probably acquire this special method from absorbing his ahh, and I believe that White Tiger Chi might be a key component to this, which is why he even bothers being an Akuma Lord and always urges the MC to cultivate as much White Tiger Chi as possible so he can use our body in the future if we fail.
Though I wouldn't it put it past him if this wasn't the case, as Taio is the biggest bum we fight.
Regarding the existence of Evil Gods, which must exist considering you only have to not have Demonic Chi to Ascend, not be a good guy, I wonder if any of them would be interested in assisting our research to become a Demon God.
Furthermore, is Sun Wukong really not ascended? Well, perhaps his journey hasn't finished yet and we'll probably help him Ascend if we're Monkey Yokai.
...Or he's actually just a Mist Clone, which would be fitting considering the first time we see him is when he gives us this weird *** technique that creates Clones without using any elements.
