112: Chapter 112 Star Domain Level Genius

The pale gold characters of the [Regional Genius Tournament] were still slowly swirling above the public domain.

All races saw this notification at the exact same moment.

The public domain fell into a brief silence.

Then, messages surged out like a bursting dam.

Countless races flooded into the discussion at the same instant.

Some were ecstatic, some were confused, and some repeatedly verified the authenticity of the notification.

Most voices were hearing the concept of a "Genius Tournament" for the first time; they didn't even know such a competition existed in the Spirit Energy Universe.

Chen Mo did not speak. He just quietly browsed.

The rules of the Genius Tournament became clear as lines of text emerged one by one:

[All living beings, regardless of race or age, are divided by tier.

The top one hundred of each tier can unlock the special abilities of the Spirit Energy Universe.]

Chen Mo had seen this line before.

All living beings.

Divided by tier.

One ranking list for the first tier, one for the second tier, and one for the third tier.

Every Realm has its own battlefield.

This meant that the lower the Realm, the larger the base of competition. The number of participants in the first tier could be tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of times that of the third tier.

But it also meant that even in a lower Realm, as long as one could enter the top one hundred, they would receive a reward.

The rules continued.

[The top ten will obtain additional qualifications.

The first place will obtain the title of "Strongest in the Spirit Energy Universe Region" and receive special qualifications.]

Another rule: If there is only one person within a certain tier, they automatically win.

Winning with only one person—this was clearly a rule meant for those super geniuses.

Possessing peerless talent, they would be the only person in an entire region to step into that Realm.

In that case, they wouldn't need to fight and would directly take the first-place spot.

This was a competition spanning all civilizations within a hundred thousand light-years.

Everyone had a chance.

It wasn't only those of high Realms who could participate; those in lower Realms could also prove themselves in battles of the same tier.

The direction of the discussions in the public domain was rapidly diversifying.

Chen Mo's attention was drawn to one of them.

The question was posted anonymously:

"Has everyone on the combat power rankings already reached the fourth tier? Why are they breaking through so quickly from the same starting point?"

Anonymous.

Races connected to the platform could choose to hide their identities or make them public.

A reply quickly appeared.

"Those on the combat power rankings are undoubtedly peerless geniuses, one in a billion across countless galaxies.

They mostly possess special abilities and generally hail from highly developed galactic civilizations. They have deep accumulations that help them rapidly open up new Realms."

The replier did not hide their identity.

It was not the Tianzhi Race, but another race Chen Mo had not seen on the rankings, the Tingwen Race.

The message continued:

"Looking at their combat power, they have indeed reached the fourth tier.

The combat power range of the fourth tier is between ten thousand and one hundred thousand."

Chen Mo's mind paused on this line of information.

The lower limit of combat power for the fourth tier is ten thousand.

His combat power was 11,328.

The reply still continued:

"But it's not like you can reach ten thousand combat power just by continuously cultivating within this tier.

Normally, as long as you can reach ninety percent of the tier's combat power limit, you have a chance to break through to the next tier.

Reaching over ninety-five percent already qualifies you as a Galaxy-level Genius—the very top tier among the millions of star systems in a galaxy."

"Those who can break through the upper limit of a tier's combat power—"

The reply paused briefly here, as if weighing the words.

"Those who can surpass it are, without exception, Star Territory-level Geniuses.

They master all kinds of incredible abilities and do not belong to a single galaxy.

They can span entire Star Domains, where one Star Domain covers tens of millions of galaxies. Such existences are extremely rare."

"In our region, there is currently only one confirmed Star Territory-level Genius, and that is Cang of the Tianzhi Race.

His combat power broke through ten thousand when he was in the third tier, and now he has already broken through to the fourth tier, ranking first on the combat power rankings."

"We just don't know if there are other Star Territory-level Geniuses among the remaining top rankers."

Chen Mo finished reading this reply and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Star Territory-level Genius.

Monsters that only appear once across tens of millions of galaxies.

His combat power was 11,327.

He was currently at the third Universe Realm, the Source Power Realm.

His Source Power had not yet accumulated to Perfection, and the Source Power within each of his cells was still quite far from saturation.

He clearly sensed that he was still a considerable distance away from the fourth tier.

His Inner World was still continuously strengthening.

But he had already reached a combat power of over ten thousand within the third tier.

His combat power had already exceeded the upper limit of the third tier.

In other words, by the standards of the Spirit Energy Universe, he was already...

[A Star Territory-level Genius]

Chen Mo did not get emotional; he simply confirmed his position and strength.

His control over the Inner World indeed far exceeded the normal scope of his current Realm.

The Complete Domain was an ability of the fifth Realm, yet he had mastered it two Realms ahead of time.

"The Inner World is just too overpowered."

Afterward, Chen Mo continued to browse the public domain.

Universe knowledge, basic mental training methods, navigation experience, and technical frameworks for ecological modification.

These contents were distributed across various sections of the platform, published by different races.

Some were published under real names, while others were anonymous.

The quality of the information was uneven, but the total volume was massive.

The Tianzhi Race was the party that published the most under their real name.

The quality of the content they shared was extremely high.

This included the core principles of basic mental training methods, structural models of Mental Energy, and recovery pathways for common mental damage.

Every single entry was clear and complete, without any ambiguity or omissions. There were also no demands for returns or attached conditions.

Chen Mo recorded them one by one.

This information was crucial for the next step of human civilization.

Currently, Blue Star did not even have a single person whose mental value reached the entry threshold of the Spirit Energy Universe, but once these methods were spread, the situation would completely change.

Chen Mo watched for a moment, and a thought popped into his mind.

"They really are good people."

This thought flashed by and was then overridden by rational analysis.

For the Tianzhi Race to dare to fully publicize the experiences they had thoroughly researched, they must have their own backing.

The duration of their civilization's existence was far beyond that of humanity, allowing them to carelessly display their research in a cross-Star Domain information field.

There was only one possibility: they had enough confidence not to fear being surpassed.

Still, while these shares could be viewed as friendship, when others far surpassed oneself, the cost of sharing was inherently extremely low.

They would not speak of the true core.

Chen Mo had a preliminary positioning of the Tianzhi Race.

This civilization was very powerful and very confident.

Their understanding of the rules far exceeded most races in this region, and every statement they made on the platform was precisely restrained, never revealing key information about their own race.

Cang was first on the rankings, and his clansmen's behavioral style in this public domain was consistent.

They outputted general knowledge to establish regional influence but maintained complete silence on any topics touching upon their clan's core.

As for the other top-ranking races, the Tyrant Elephant Race and the Yaojing Race...

Their members barely spoke on the platform.

Chen Mo could only indirectly piece together bits of fragmented information about them from the discussions of other races.

The home system of the Tyrant Elephant Race was a super-gravity planet with an extremely short rotation period, and its surface gravity was dozens of times that of Blue Star.

The silicon-based physiological structure of the Yaojing Race determined that their evolutionary path was completely different from carbon-based life; their publicized training methods were not universally applicable, and some knowledge could not be transferred across races.

This was all that could be confirmed.

Then, Chen Mo flipped through all the functions of the entire Spirit Energy Universe, from the first layer of the interface to the deepest subdirectories.

system panel, combat power rankings, communication area.

That was all.

There was no trading function.

There was no resource exchange platform.

There was no currency system.

There was no physical exchange channel of any kind.

The entire architecture of the Spirit Energy Universe was purely informational: communication, rankings, notifications, and the rules of the Genius Tournament.

Technology could be discussed and knowledge could be shared, but there was no flow of physical resources.

Perhaps it wasn't that the platform lacked this function, but rather that they were not yet qualified to unlock it.

This could be seen from the communication qualifications of the top ten on the combat power rankings, as well as the special abilities of the Regional Genius Tournament.

To want more, one needed to rank in the top three or take first place in the region.

And the Regional Genius Tournament was on its way.

Chen Mo pulled back his mind and logged out of the Spirit Energy Universe.
