In wave after wave of attacks, although it was clear that Qingming Hetong Heaven was not weak, the three worlds could also plainly judge that Qinghe Heaven and Earth's overall strength was still far from sufficient to raise its sequence ranking from twenty-eight to sixteen.
The Co-lords of Heaven and Earth of the three worlds were all vastly experienced, and they unanimously believed the latter possibility was more likely.
The reason was that the emergence of geniuses was limited in number. Although mutations could bring unforeseen variables, they normally did not greatly elevate a world. After all, few people could truly realize something as intangible as potential.
Judging by Qinghe Heaven and Earth's current improvement, either one or two monstrously gifted existences with a chance of becoming emperors had emerged, or there had to be a vast number of ordinary prodigies.
However, from their interrogation of the Lingxiao Palace captives they had seized earlier, the information provided after those captives were brought under control indicated that prodigies had indeed appeared within the world, but there were no exceptionally heaven-defying figures, nor had a large number of "geniuses" emerged—at least not on the surface.
