Nature and Authority

• Supreme Experts are the ceiling of combat power in the Main Universe and the foundation by which a Peak Race measures its strength 221 360.
• Their past and present are one after leaving the Time River. Consequently, a dead Supreme Expert has no ordinary Life Imprint to retrieve through time reversal 338.
• Supreme Experts can resurrect other beings by reversing the Time River, though the backlash rises sharply with the target's strength. Resurrecting an Eleventh Order can significantly affect a Supreme Expert, while resurrecting another Supreme Expert would cause the resurrector to fall 234 338.
• An Eleventh Order's attempt to become a Supreme Expert has only two outcomes: success or death. Outside intervention would mean contending against the entire Time River 360.
• A deceased Supreme Expert may leave behind a viable evolutionary path. If that path is complete and its former holder is dead, another life may potentially reach the Supreme Expert level through it 221.

Abilities & Traits

Rule Integration

Supreme Experts possess profound mastery over multiple Rules, including fused pillar Rules.

• Xia Qin demonstrates integrated Space-Time, Life, Karma, and other Rules; his Space-Time Rule is formed from perfectly fused Space and Time Rules 235.
• A Supreme Expert normally transforms a Pillar Rule into a personal Grand Dao 406.
• Even an Eleventh Order with exceptional Space-Time comprehension remains vastly below a true Supreme Expert in combat power 436.

Time River Transcendence

Supreme Experts exist beyond the ordinary life-and-death cycle of the Time River.

• They possess eternal life rather than a conventional lifespan 221 360.
• Their transcendence prevents standard resurrection after death 338.
• They can bear the backlash of retrieving weaker deceased beings from the past, unlike ordinary evolutionaries 234.

Avatars and Remote Intervention

A Supreme Expert's avatar retains formidable power and can serve as a beacon for the true body.

• Xia Qin's avatar possesses basic Twelfth Order combat power; his true body can descend instantly through it 358.
• The true bodies of Human Civilization's Supreme Experts guard key positions in its territory as strategic deterrents 430.
• Supreme Experts may leave protective methods capable of briefly releasing an immensely powerful strike 442.

Perception and Pressure

The presence, body, and malice of a Supreme Expert can endanger lower-level lifeforms.

• Directly comprehending a Supreme Expert's severed body can overwhelm lower-order evolutionaries with information and Heart-and-Will pressure 429.
• The Super Large Battlefield blocks Supreme Expert perception because even a trace of their malice or killing intent could affect Eleventh Order combatants 445.
• A Supreme Expert's body can preserve numerous evolution paths, but some paths may be flawed or conceal dangers 221.

Supreme Expert Bodies and Evolutionary Paths

• Human Civilization publicly projected a partial essence of a fallen Supreme Expert's severed body into the Virtual World for qualified evolutionaries to comprehend 221 429.
• The actual body is too contaminating and dangerous for ordinary direct study; the projection was created by several Human Supreme Experts 429.
• The body contains Demon Evolution Paths. Comprehending every such path while below Twelfth Order is the requirement for becoming a Demon Jade Tower Sequence Disciple 429.
• A Supreme Expert corpse was important enough to provoke clashes between Peak Races decades before Lin Yuan's later rise 345.

Supreme Weapons

• Supreme Weapons are powerful enough to be considered part of a Peak Race's foundation 387.
• Eleventh Order lifeforms are normally not qualified to wield them; possessing one may attract a Supreme Expert's intervention unless it was bestowed by a Supreme Expert 387.
• Such weapons can greatly enhance legendary Eleventh Order combat power, though environmental restrictions may suppress their functions 387.
• Supreme Weapons are distinct from Clan-Protecting Weapons, which can provide escape, defense, suppression, or battlefield contingencies 444 451.

Human Civilization

Human Civilization originally had nine Supreme Experts, whose respective strengths and authorities supported the civilization across the starry sky 221 237.

Supreme Expert	Known distinction
Xia Qin	Known for combat power; guides and protects Lin Yuan, and leads Xia You Evolution High Tower 237 442
Feather Butterfly	Origin of Human Civilization's Virtual World authority; excels in illusions rather than direct combat 237 438
Gu Li	Among the highest in killing power within the Nine Supreme Experts 438
Void God	Possesses exceptional space mastery and follows the Space Grand Dao 401 438
Xuan Yuan	Human Civilization's first Supreme Expert; strongest among the Nine in overall capability and near the peak of the Dao Opening Realm 438 457

Tenth Supreme Expert

Lin Yuan, the Galaxy Star Lord, became Human Civilization's tenth Supreme Expert upon reaching the Twelfth Order 514.

• His arrival on the Shore of the Time River caused tremors across hundreds of Universes, and his Life Essence dwarfed that of other Twelfth Order beings 514.
• Human Civilization formally announced his ascension in Star Sea Calendar 2,609,782 514.
• Following his breakthrough, the other nine Supreme Experts recognized his authority in decisions concerning submitting races and Peak Race reparations 516.

Limitations

• Eternal life does not make a Supreme Expert invulnerable; they can be killed 221 338.
• A Supreme Expert cannot safely interfere with an Eleventh Order's Ultimate Leap, as doing so brings the backlash of the Time River 360.
• Supreme Expert clashes are rare, occurring only once every tens of thousands of years under normal circumstances 345.
• Direct action in the Super Large Battlefield is restricted by rules established among Supreme Experts, though preparations and indirect methods may still influence the conflict 440.
