The Martial Unity

Chapter 2700 Individuality and Interpretation

Chapter 2700 Individuality and Interpretation

Rui simply gazed at the gathered Martial Artists with a blank expression, heaving a sigh.

"Let's begin."

Consul Sergenilius and Consul Notera narrowed their eyes.

It was an unceremonious start to what was perhaps one of the most important turning points in the history of the Nest of Terra. Consul Notera could only hope that he didn't intend to share the Scriptures of Terra with the people who had tried to kill him for it in the first place.

There was no way that he was going to be that foolish and forgiving.

"First, the breakthroughs." He activated his Realms of power before commencing the various breakthroughs of the various Martial Artists of the entirety of the Nest of Terra.

Consul Sergenilius heaved a sigh of relief that he didn't limit his magical breakthroughs to the Martial Faction.

Consul Notera was displeased but acknowledged that the power of the Nest of Terra was important enough to allow all Martial Artists, regardless of their affiliation, to be broken through. More than anything, the wave of breakthroughs was truly shocking when they beheld it for the first time. It was one thing to hear and read about it. It was an entirely different thing to actually bear witness to it with one's own eyes.

The atmosphere grew charged as they watched Martial Artists bloom galore.

It wasn't too long before it had entirely concluded.

"Now, for the Hellbringer model."

This was less flashy, yet the agonized expressions of the Martial Artists of the Upper Realms who received it were telling.

"This...!"

"Rgh...!"

"And most importantly, even if you were worthy of it and were able to inherit it, inheriting it from me or anybody else would sabotage your progress with it and earth-bending tremendously."

It was surely why the Shield of Gaia had told them that it existed and was within the Nest of Terra but didn't tell them what it was. This was something that Rui didn't realize until he discovered the Scriptures of Terra himself.

'Simply inheriting the Scriptures of Terra colors the Scriptures with the individuality of the person who shares it.'

In other words, in order to maximize one's affinity with the Scriptures of Terra, one needed to discover the Scriptures of Terra themselves and interpret them themselves.

Rui interpreted the Scriptures of Terra as a system of thought because his affinity for thought was enormous. And thus, he was able to maximize his synergy with his own interpretation of the Scriptures of Terra.

He was sure that the Shield of Gaia had his own interpretation and perspective on the Scriptures of Terra, which was synergetic with his own strengths and affinities.

Individuality was desirable because it maximized output by ensuring that one's Martial Art was compatible and synergetic with one's strengths, profile, and being as a whole. And when it came to the Scriptures of Terra, because the essence was the same, the only way to have individuality was by interpreting the Scriptures uniquely in a way that no one else would.

Someone like Amare would interpret it differently, perhaps as an everyday routine, compared to someone like Ieyasu, who would interpret it as power itself.

"The same is true for the Hellbringer model," Rui muttered with a hint of regret. "But alas, there's nothing I can do about that."

It wasn't impossible for people to reinterpret the Hellbringer model, but that was much harder than interpreting it in their own way originally. However, Rui couldn't afford to hope that they just happened to run into their own interpretation after giving them the Hellbringer model.

The apocalypse they were in was not kind enough to give them that much leeway.

"And so, I have decided not to share the Scriptures of Terra with anybody," Rui announced to all of them. "All I can say is simply say is what the Shield of Gaia told you more than a century ago."

His eyes narrowed.

"The Scriptures of Terra are within the Nest of Terra. Find it. Find it and gain the power you seek."
