"Universe Level!"
When the Vortex Galaxy in his mindscape finally stabilized and a faint blue mist of mental power swirled around him, Tang Ping slowly clenched his fist. The strength he felt in his fingertips made him grin.
This wasn't just a breakthrough in cultivation. It was a leap in status, from a "fringe nobody" in the cosmic civilization system to a "cornerstone figure" capable of supporting a faction.
He recalled the levels of civilization Babata had once explained: in a low-level civilization like the Silver Blue Empire, which ruled eight galaxies and had a population of eighty billion, Universe Level powerhouses were considered "strategic deterrents."
If an entire civilization could gather ten Universe Level powerhouses, it could be called a "regional power" among the star domains.

As for mid-level civilizations like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, Universe Level powerhouses were bona fide members of the "elite class." They could serve as governors of interstellar colonies, with authority over the distribution of resources for trillions of people.
They could also join the Universe Mercenary Alliance as Silver-Rank Mercenaries, taking on high-risk missions like intergalactic assassinations and resource raids. Their pay was measured in hundreds of millions of Ganwu Coins.
