Pillar of Yita

But it’s hard to say, after all, Fang Hong can’t confirm if there really exist actual scenes beyond the Door to this world, where both time and space differ from the outside world. After the appearance of the pitch-black Clockwork Fairy, the central black stone pillar rotated with a click, projecting a beam of light, casting a virtual projection in front of Fang Hong and Tata just like the Summoners System.

Fang Hong immediately saw, it was a fictional metal plate—perhaps it really exists, but not here, and this solid light projection was just a projection after all. He saw many names densely inscribed on the metal plate, but before he could take a closer look, a voice unexpectedly sounded from the pitch-black Clockwork Fairy:

”Leaving a record of participants, one can choose to engrave a symbol representing themselves.” The voice was mechanical and neutral, identical to the previous prompt sound.

Fang Hong glanced at the pitch-black Clockwork Fairy with some curiosity, wondering if the opponent he had previously faced in combat was the owner of this voice. But when he thought of the hundreds of pitch-black Stars, he felt that the opponent’s strength was indeed unfathomable.

However, the owner of this voice seemed not to be a living entity since the previous scene could also be hypothetical.

And the words from the other party immediately made him understand that this was to prevent the existence of people with the same name, after all, in the millennia of the Silver Tower’s existence, there will always be some people with the same name or even the same surname. Especially in Eteliria, with things like old Little John and young George being quite common.

Just like him and the Great Alchemist Ade, sharing the same name, isn’t it?

Only then did he look at the metal plate, paused for a moment, and immediately realized that this record is about the Holy Choosers, as almost all the names and IDs on it were known to him. But if saying that not even a single Native was on this list a millennia ago, that is obviously impossible.

Among the young generation of Invokers, there are many top-notch Alchemists and Combat Artisans, but as they age, there are quite a few Natives with craftsmanship skills surpassing those of Invokers, even by a notch. Famous Alchemists in history are equally abundant among the Natives.

And in such a trial, what is compared is not the ability at a certain stage but the foundational mastery and potential, in which the Natives are not much inferior to the Invokers. Upon inquiry, he indeed got the answer, that mechanical voice told him—this is the list of the Holy Choosers.

Fang Hong looked upwards from the bottom.

He found the first ID he recognized at the seventh rank, Tactical Master Rubick, whose left mark was his iconic Baldy, shimmering and making Fang Hong speechless. The inventor of Overload Tactics retired many years ago, leaving countless legends in Eteliria, and in this hall, his achievements are quite striking.

Ninety-seven point seven percent.

Nearly a perfect score, but considering this person was the inventor of the Temperature Control Flow, the ancestor figure of Red Leaf, such an achievement is not surprising.

Above him at sixth place was an ID called Dark Elegance, also a long-retired famous personality, the top craftsman of the former Rose Cross Army and the guide of Construct Queen Ming, also a legendary beauty. Speaking of the Queen Nether lineage, from the Dark King all the way to the later Loofah, all were female Invokers, thus humorously referred to as being passed to girls but not boys by others.

Of course, now with him, Pigeon Fang has also broken this ’rule’.

Although not officially, Fang Hong could call himself the little junior of Loofah.

He didn’t recognize the fourth and fifth names, they should be the pioneers of the first or second generation, and apart from the few familiar figures of that era, most have already become legendary figures, with Fang Hong’s age, it’s natural not to have heard of them.

The third name is Silver Ash, one of the founders of the Silver Weslan Dynasty, a craftsman almost contemporaneous with Tactical Master Rubick, but with a much better score, reaching one hundred and seven percent, and their final accomplishments are worlds apart—a craftsman who founded a dynasty, nearly immortal—while the Tactical Master only left some tales through a few schools of thought.

The second, Fang Hong hadn’t yet seen the ID, but first saw the symbol, a gray fox.

This symbol in today’s times is known to everyone, as it is the Grey King, the symbol of FOX, every generation having ten different kings. However, FOX’s legend undoubtedly has written the glory of craftsman in this era.

No matter the borders, he has always been a banner of the Combat Artisans.

Fang Hong turned his gaze over, indeed saw the three clear letters FOX.

He couldn’t help but be curious about who the first place is, although curious, he already had his suspicion in mind. With just one look, he indeed saw that familiar ID—Loofah. Here, there’s no distinction of age, level, or equipment, craftsmen from different eras have completed a cross-age competition on a single list.

And Loofah, that rumored genius artisan who challenged FOX to become the next generation of the Ten Kings of craftsmen, considered the first of the contemporary Combat Artisans, has indeed recorded her own chapter here. She indeed appeared above the FOX ID.

Loofah’s score is one hundred thirty percent, seven percentage points higher than FOX.
