166: Geniuses of all races
New Radiance City is one of the key cities in the Galaxy Territory within the Star Realm, with relatively outstanding strength in all aspects.
The cities in the Star Realm mainly accommodate contestants who travel through Star Gates from distant places, as well as those who live locally.
Therefore, their strengths vary.
The locals of New Radiance City are very strong, while those from distant places are very weak.
Not only do cities in the Star Realm hold tryouts, but tryouts are also held on various planets within the Galaxy Territory.
These people are generally stronger than those outside the Galaxy Territory.
The Galaxy Territory, which has gathered and been nourished by the resources of the entire Galaxy, far surpasses external planets in all aspects of strength.
Lin Ye knew that among these people, there were opponents worth fighting.
The battles in New Radiance City were quickly concluded.
The ten selected contestants stepped onto the Star Gate leading to the center of the Galaxy Territory—Origin Star.
Genius individuals scattered across various regions converged here, competing together for those one hundred spots.
“Lin Ye, there are quite a few geniuses in this batch,” Beilu opened the conversation.
This genius of the Winged Human Race was, in fact, quite talkative.
“Oh? Are there any worth noting?” Lin Ye asked.
“There are quite a few. According to statistics, there are ten thousand individuals with Domains in this batch,” Beilu revealed.
“That many?” Lin Ye was shocked.
One hundred thousand contestants, and so many of them possessed Domains.
It was impossible for them to have comprehended their Domains on their own like him; Lin Ye was 99.9% sure of this.
It must be genetic inheritance.
So many Star Domain Level descendants were simply terrifying.
The more powerful an individual, the lower their fertility. Many Star Domain Level individuals might only have four or five descendants in their entire lives.
And how long is the lifespan of a Star Domain Level individual? At least on the scale of one hundred thousand years.
Such powerful individuals might not even produce a single descendant in tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, inheritance is not 100%; the probability is only higher if both parents are powerful.
Yet, in just a century, there were thousands of genetically inherited Domain geniuses. Lin Ye just made a rough estimate and calculated the number of Star Domain Level individuals in the Galaxy.
At least a hundred million.
Lin Ye gasped, feeling that things were not simple and increasingly marveling at the vastness of the universe and the multitude of powerful individuals.
“It’s quite normal; after all, Star Domain Level individuals are relatively common,” Beilu, however, was not so surprised.
“Although a Domain is a huge advantage, many of them haven’t fully cultivated their Star Nucleus and just rely on their Domain for crushing power, so they’re not worth mentioning,” Beilu waved his hand, somewhat looking down on those who relied on their parents’ bloodline but didn’t work hard.
“So, who are the geniuses you’re talking about?” Lin Ye asked.
“I divide them into five tiers. The first tier, King Level geniuses, possess a Domain—yes, like us,” Beilu said. Lin Ye had not hidden the fact that he possessed a Domain from him.
Although he had been in pain for a long time then, he thought of himself, Beilu, who hadn't even comprehended a single Force, let alone a Domain, except through inheritance.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye had already comprehended a Domain on his own.
These geniuses who inherited their parents’ genetic Domains could also comprehend Laws. If they comprehended Laws similar to their Domain, it would be even more effective.
As long as they gradually comprehended their Domain, they would be able to condense a Law in one go when breaking through to the Star Domain Level.
With a Domain as a reference, it was also easier for them to comprehend other Forces, but even so, Beilu still hadn’t comprehended a Force.
“The second tier: geniuses who possess a Domain but only have a Perfect Star Nucleus, as well as King Level geniuses who possess a Force.”
Lin Ye nodded in agreement. This tier was also relatively common; ten thousand inheritors of Domains only needed to work a little to reach this level.
“The third tier: geniuses who possess a Domain but an Imperfect Star Nucleus, as well as geniuses with a Perfect Star Nucleus who possess a Force.”
“The fourth tier, and the most numerous: geniuses with a Perfect Star Nucleus.”
“The fifth tier: lucky individuals with an Imperfect Star Nucleus.”
As for the last category, they were clearly those who came through due to less competition in certain areas, relying on luck.
“Of course, combat awareness, skills, and cultivation methods also affect combat power, but including these parameters would make it too difficult to calculate. I only classify them based on basic talent. We need to focus on the first tier,” Beilu said.
“Who are the people in the first tier?” Lin Ye asked.
He was very curious how many individuals of this level there were.
“Based on current data, there are eight,” Beilu said.
“That many?” Lin Ye was startled.
“It’s normal. After all, most who can become King Level geniuses aren’t lacking in talent,” Beilu said.
Lin Ye thought about it, and he was right. It was easy for him to break through to the Primordial Grade, but it would take ordinary people a lot of time.
For example, Beilu, even with his father’s help, took a full two hundred years to cultivate his Primordial Grade ability.
And those true wild King Level geniuses, who rely on themselves, are basically exceptionally gifted individuals. Unlike Beilu, they don’t need to deliberately focus on advancing to King Level. With so much time left, comprehending a Domain is quite normal, isn’t it?
For instance, the most outstanding contestant in the previous session, a wild King Level genius, broke through to the Star Level early, comprehended a Domain, and with extraordinary combat power, won the championship in one fell swoop, earning the favor of the Galaxy Lord.
“Among them, five are worth noting,” Beilu said mysteriously.
Lin Ye’s heart stirred, and he asked curiously, “Which five?”
“The first is a Stellar River Level descendant, whose inherited Domain is very powerful, and he himself is very outstanding, reaching the King Level.”
“The second broke through to the King Level and comprehended a Domain on his own. Most importantly, his race is very powerful, and his combat power is formidable.”
“The third is a Star Domain Level descendant, with a powerful Domain, reaching the King Level, and he is very skilled in combat, a true prodigy in skill creation.”
“The fourth reached the King Level and comprehended a Domain on his own, with formidable combat power.”
Beilu suddenly looked at Lin Ye.
“The fifth person is you.”
Lin Ye found it somewhat amusing that he was also ranked.
However, what surprised him was that quite a few people reached the King Level and comprehended a Domain on their own. And rightly so, how many people are there in the Galaxy? It’s normal for such geniuses to be born.
Domains comprehended on one’s own are even more formidable and do not have the inherent incomplete control that naturally occurring ones might.
And the Domain inherited by a Stellar River Level descendant would be extremely powerful.
This involves a concept: Twin Domains.
And the first person mentioned is precisely a super genius with Twin Domains.
A Star Nucleus Level individual being able to produce a descendant with Twin Domains is truly being born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
The more Beilu revealed, the more Lin Ye felt he had been short-sighted, underestimating the heroes of the world.
“However, Lin Ye, your age is a huge advantage,” Beilu looked at Lin Ye with envy.
“You’re right, I’m still young,” Lin Ye laughed heartily.
Among all the contestants, he could be said to be among the youngest batch.
Races in the universe, in order to ensure a better future for their children, would suppress their levels and hone their abilities.
Only when they reached their own limits would they be allowed to break through.
This is also why those contestants were generally older.
As for Beilu, he was already over two hundred and fifty years old.
The age limit for participating in the disciple selection was three hundred years old. The Galaxy Lord was also very benevolent; he didn’t want his age restrictions for accepting disciples to force some potentially promising talents to rush their breakthroughs prematurely.
