Upon hearing Li Chen's words, the many commanders looked at one another in surprise.
Xu Ruoxi, Dang Zhongcheng, and the other confidants had long since heard of the Small Universe, so their reactions were not as strong.
The two of them looked at each other, and sure enough, both their eyes carried an expression of just as expected.
But the rest of the commanders knew nothing about this power.
Someone could not help asking.
"Commander, are you asking whether we have awakened this Small Universe?"
Li Chen looked toward the commander who had asked the question and nodded.
"That's right. That is exactly what I want to ask."
"Because when my Gene Evolution reached Tier 10 and I crossed into a whole new threshold, I happened to awaken the Small Universe at the same time."
"I had always assumed everyone would be the same."
"But now, it seems that assumption was wrong."
Li Chen did not conceal the fact that he possessed a Small Universe.
The reason he had called everyone to the conference room was precisely to discuss this.
Gene Evolution Tier 10 was a dividing line.
It was the standard by which Evolvers truly touched the threshold of evolution and became genuine "Evolvers."
Therefore, after Li Chen broke through Level 9 Peak and entered the initial stage of Tier 10,

and that its mission had specifically required it to take back fifty thousand Earthlings who had evolved to Level 10 Peak.
Combined with these new clues,
