Duan Dong River's words immediately made all the powerhouses listen attentively.
"I'll arbitrarily establish four titles: outer candidates, elite candidates, core candidates, and inheritors!"
"Those who previously met the requirements can only be considered outer candidates."
"Someone like Galaxy Lord of humanity counts as an elite candidate. Above that are core candidates, and one level higher are inheritors. They need not compete or undergo selection; they will directly obtain my Duan Dong River inheritance."
Duan Dong River swept his gaze over the universe's strongest beings. "You are all already universe's strongest beings and have long since nurtured miniature universes. Your strength is greater, so your bottlenecks are naturally higher. However, if you can solve the 6,000th game, you can likewise directly obtain the inheritance."
"Of course, I estimate that the possibility of any of you becoming inheritors by breaking through the fourth bottleneck within the time limit I set, or by directly solving the 6,000th incomplete game, is extremely, extremely low."
"So you need to work even harder at solving the games. The more games you solve, the different the level you reach, and naturally the different the inheritance you will later come into contact with. For example, right now, Galaxy Lord of humanity has dozens or even a hundred times greater a chance of obtaining the inheritance than you do—unless you also break through the second bottleneck."
"Work hard."
A deathly silence fell. All the powerhouses present understood.
The number of games solved made a fundamental difference. Once one reached a certain level, one could even directly obtain the inheritance, while all other powerhouses would be considered eliminated and unsuccessful.
There were four tiers. The fourth tier directly obtained the inheritance, while the first tier was merely the minimum requirement. If one failed even to meet that minimum, one
