177: Emperor's City

The three caught up with the main group.

The others were curious as to why they had been left behind, and the three did not hide it, as it seemed to be the Galaxy Lord's usual method for taking on direct disciples.

Everyone was filled with envy, especially Cadillac and Qing Feng, who had thought they were in the same tier but unexpectedly were not chosen.

"You don't need to be envious," Karl said. "If you yourselves are qualified, Master will also assign tasks to you, and if you complete them, you can also become a direct disciple."

"Then how do we become qualified?" someone eagerly asked.

"Generally speaking, the top student of each batch has this qualification. This time, your performance was so good that three of you gained this qualification. As for the rest, if you don't break through to the Star Domain Level and comprehend a Domain within a hundred years, you will be eligible for a test, and if you succeed, you can become a direct disciple."

The remaining people's hearts burned with passion, especially Qing Feng and Cadillac; this was their chance to prove themselves.

Louis and Karl led them to a city.

"This is the only city in the Galaxy Realm—Emperor Son City, symbolizing that all of you will become Emperor Sons. It is managed by artificial intelligence and can meet any of your needs; even if something is missing, you can pre-order it. Well, the leading is over now, you can disperse. Karl and I, as your leading Senior Brothers, can be consulted for any questions you have. This is also the task Master has given us," Louis said.

After speaking, the two flashed away.

Everyone was speechless. Alright, this hands-off approach was truly thorough.

So, they all departed according to their own arrangements.

Lin Ye first explored Emperor Son City. The facilities were very complete; they could even dispatch machines to construct a residence if you wished to build one.

It seemed the Galaxy Lord was not entirely a traditionalist; he was quite willing to use good things.

Besides that, the most striking feature was the thousand-meter-tall monument in the center of Emperor Son City Plaza.

It recorded rankings based on each disciple's Law progress.

Lin Ye checked it and was secretly astonished. The Galaxy Lord currently had 1,100 disciples, excluding those who had died, left, or become Masters.

The majority were registered disciples.

The Galaxy Realm currently had 891 registered disciples.

Clearly, among the nine batches still cultivating in the Galaxy Realm, nine had already entered the ranks of direct disciples.

After all, the Death rate in the Galaxy Realm was zero. Even if you went berserk or committed suicide, the Galaxy Lord would heal you back. Still want to die? A slap would make you forget all worries and sorrows; this was the sense of security a powerful being provided.

And the remaining two hundred-plus were direct disciples.

After becoming a direct disciple, after a thousand years, they would be sent to patrol various parts of the Galaxy or remain by the Galaxy Lord's side. At that point, it was no longer safe, so the Death rate was naturally high, which is why there were only two hundred existing direct disciples.

This ranking did not consider strength but only recorded Law progress.

First place: Barbara, Gold Law perfected, Water Law perfected.

Lin Ye was shocked; he was no longer an ignorant novice. He naturally understood what Law perfection meant: perfecting one Law was the basic condition for breaking through to the Master Level.

This Senior Sister was clearly not simple; she had more than one perfected Law, which was terrifying.

Among the remaining individuals, there were also five with perfected Laws, followed by those with great accomplishment in Laws, minor accomplishment in Laws, initial grasp of Laws, perfected Domain, great accomplishment in Domain, minor accomplishment in Domain, initial grasp of Domain, and force.

Lin Ye was ranked 73rd from the bottom, with initial grasp of Domain.

He wasn't discouraged; after all, there were very few people like him who were born without a Domain.

And his Domain had only just been comprehended.

The Galaxy Lord seemed to place great importance on Law comprehension. Aside from this ranking, there were no other rankings visible, indicating that Laws were extremely important.

Lin Ye also secretly prioritized Laws; this seemed to be the grand path to becoming a powerful being.

After settling the necessities for living and cultivation in Emperor Son City, Lin Ye found a good spot, ready to embark on his path of intense cultivation.

The Galaxy Lord was very generous; these things were provided free of charge, and one could even order food to be delivered regularly, satisfying one's appetite.

The Galaxy Realm was vast, and with most direct disciples out, only over nine hundred people were truly cultivating there.

So, it was quite easy to live alone.

If the mood struck for a gathering, one could simply arrange a table via the virtual world.

Lin Ye was clearly the type who preferred solitary cultivation. He found a beautiful place with clear mountains and waters, then began a long period of meditation.

The prerequisite for comprehending Fusion Domain was naturally to first comprehend two or more Domains.

This was not difficult for Lin Ye; he had comprehended the Star Domain in less than half a year.

However, his ambition was great; he didn't care for ordinary Domains.

The Domains Lin Ye decided to comprehend were related to Time and Space.

This was clearly much more difficult than the Star Domain.

Furthermore, one point was very important: existing Domains would affect the comprehension of other Domains, which was why most people would not comprehend multiple Domains.

Only upon reaching the Stellar River Level, when one's overall strength was greater, would they delve into dual-Domain comprehension.

The reason William was so highly regarded was that he was born with dual Domains; comprehending one would not interfere with the comprehension of the other, and they could even mutually promote each other. Moreover, they could naturally fuse, skipping the step of Domain Fusion altogether. It could be said that he was destined to be a super powerful being in the future.

However, the interference between Domains had little effect on Lin Ye; he possessed the Original Universe, which could intercept Laws, unlike others who, once they comprehended one, would find it interfering with the comprehension of others.

Therefore, as long as he proceeded step by step, everything would be fine.

Comprehending the Space Domain took Lin Ye a year.

As expected of the top-tier Law, even a small Domain took so long.

Lin Ye continued to work hard, spending a year and a half to comprehend the Time Domain.

"It's really difficult; this small Domain actually took two and a half years," Lin Ye sighed.

The reason the Star Law was easier was mainly because his core was primarily composed of Star attributes.

This was also why most professional systems primarily cultivated one attribute of power: specialization led to going further in the future, and comprehending Laws became easier.

Being broad but not specialized would never allow one to reach the peak.

According to the composition of Lin Ye's core, he could also rapidly comprehend Laws related to Soul and Destiny.

Self-Mastery, Intuition, and Undying Soul were all Soul-type, and Destiny was Destiny-type.

Aside from these, the efficiency of comprehending other Laws was very low, even with the assistance of the Original Universe.

It was worth noting that the Star Spirit's core could also help the host comprehend.

That was why Lin Ye was able to comprehend the Space Law.

Based on the current best cost-performance, the Soul Law should be the fastest to comprehend after the Star Law.

Lin Ye did not hesitate and began to comprehend the Soul Law.

The Soul Law was ethereal; so far, he had only seen Qing Feng use it.

Even among the chaotic Laws flying everywhere, there were very few Soul Laws present.

Even with so much assistance, Lin Ye still spent half a year to comprehend the Soul Domain.

(Law cultivation is divided into Force, Domain, and Law. Domain and Force are subordinate to Law, so they are also part of Law. This is a reminder, otherwise it might be confusing.)
