The Eleventh Tier was the most critical realm in the Star Ruins Realm.
In the outer reaches, one could become the lord of a city and establish a power of one's own.
In the inner reaches, one could join a power or live freely on one's own.

Porter paused, then slowly let out a single word. By now, he had forged an unwavering resolve of his own.
Without Jiang Shu, he could still have deceived himself, telling himself that the outer-reach geniuses were simply no match for those in the inner reaches, and that clearing the fourth round was good enough.

At the very least, he had to try!
He still had time!
