Basically, using a forced-growth method to mass-produce Black Hole Lifeforms was something every Black Hole Civilization did in its later stages.
After all, relying solely on natural emergence was far too slow.
Even with the Federation's advantage of Azure Dragon's autonomous consciousness, only a little over a million had emerged over two thousand years.
Not to mention the civilizations and species born within ordinary universes.
But accomplishing this was hardly a simple matter.
So, after countless civilizations tried and still failed, a method akin to forced growth emerged.
Even the former Great Xia Federation had been unable to avoid using this method to rapidly increase the number of Black Hole Lifeforms.
Of course, while this method could mass-produce Black Hole Lifeforms, it also came with an extremely severe side effect.
Namely—
After becoming a Black Hole Lifeform through this method, a person's own potential would be completely drained.
In other words, after that, they would be unable to make any further progress along this path!
For example, someone with the potential to ultimately reach the Seventh Tier could become a Black Hole Lifeform in a very short time after using this method.
As for the Black Hole Lifeform's rank, depending on each civilization's technology, it would fall somewhere between the First Tier and Third Tier.
After all, even the Great Xia Alliance, which had once possessed the most advanced technology in the Black Hole, could only convert roughly fifty percent of a person's potential through this method.
As for the Noreya Empire, it could only convert around twenty percent.
Then someone might ask: if they possessed the potential to reach the Seventh Tier, why not take things slowly? Why exhaust all their potential in exchange for merely ten to fifty percent of the result?
The reasoning was simple. It was
