Hearing Consort Xi's words, Qiu Tu fell into thought. As he kneaded her breasts, his mind raced.
According to what he had learned from Zhu Wu and Qing Lan,
a Seventh Order Calamity Descendant had to meet several conditions to advance to the Eighth Order.
First, their Calamity Path had to advance further, reaching at least the Seventh Order Peak.
Second, they needed to control a sufficient number of areas.
At the Sixth Order Peak, a Calamity Descendant controlled an area the size of a province—nine cities, nine regions.
To advance to the Seventh Order, one had to control two provinces, or eighteen regions.
To reach the Seventh Order Peak and advance to the Eighth Order, one had to control an entire nation—nine provinces, eighty-one cities, and eighty-one regions.
That meant Qiu Tu still had to refine seven more provinces.
Third—and most importantly—the Area Energy Level of all eighty-one regions had to be at least Level 2.
Only by meeting all three conditions could a Calamity Descendant advance to the Eighth Order.
And from that third condition, one could see World Origin's purpose for Calamity Creatures—it was essentially granting living beings official positions and authority, helping World Origin govern designated areas.
After all, the higher an area's level, the denser its Calamity Power, allowing it to produce and accommodate more powerful Calamity Creatures and Calamity Materials.

High-grade Calamity Materials and Cataclysmic Treasures slowly released Calamity Power on their own. High-grade Boundless God Crystals could do the same, and crushing them released an even larger amount of Calamity Power.
If those two methods seemed too extravagant, one could spend heavily to buy and
