Upgrade! 1-Star Lord!

"Ancestor!"

"Did you... did you succeed in breaking through?"

The three were both shocked and delighted. They hurriedly flew forward, their voices trembling with excitement.

Tutor Yoda floated in midair, a powerful aura still faintly emanating from him, not yet fully contained after his breakthrough.

It was an aura far beyond the Universe-level!

"That's right! I did it! I finally did it!" Yoda laughed heartily.

The three Universe-level clansmen were overjoyed at his words!

"Wonderful!"

"Congratulations, Ancestor!"

"Congratulations, Ancestor!"

The three were beside themselves with joy, so excited that they could barely speak coherently!

Their ancestor was already over ninety thousand years old, nearing the end of his lifespan. In recent years, he had begun arranging matters for the family after his death. Yet who could have imagined... that he would break through today!

A Universe-level warrior had a lifespan of one hundred thousand years, while a Domain Lord had a lifespan of one million years!

With this breakthrough, their ancestor's lifespan had increased tenfold. He no longer needed to worry about his lifespan or what would happen after his death. Moreover, their family now had a Domain Lord-level powerhouse, and their status would be completely different!

At that moment, another figure flew over from afar. It was Wang Yu.

[Elite Subject "Yoda" has broken through to Domain Lord Level. Reward: 1 trillion Origin Energy]

"Congratulations, Tutor. You finally got your wish and became a Domain Lord." Wang Yu smiled and cupped his hands, his face full of sincere congratulations.

One trillion as a reward!

His tutor's breakthrough to Domain Lord Level had directly brought him an income of one trillion Universe Coins!

Once Universe Coins exceeded one trillion, they could be counted in "Chaos Yuan Units." Those who normally used Chaos Yuan Units were at least World Lord-level powerhouses!

The birth of a Domain Lord really earns a lot! Wang Yu inwardly sighed.

But it really isn't easy. I still don't have the means to cultivate Universe-level warriors into Domain Lords in bulk.

A Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion costs 20 Chaos Yuan Units in the System Shop. Using potions would mean losing 19 Chaos Yuan Units, and a useless, watered-down Domain Lord without any real strength probably couldn't make money for me afterward. There's no way I could do that...

Tutor Yoda looked at Wang Yu, his gaze exceedingly complicated—gratitude, shock, understanding...

In the end, all those emotions turned into a knowing smile.

He was not without knowledge. The potion's effects were incredibly powerful, and the extent to which it had enhanced his genetic bloodline was simply astonishing!

It had far exceeded his expectations!

Such a powerful effect was clearly not from an S-Type Bloodline Evolution Potion.

It had to be of an even higher grade!

A Universe-level Bloodline Potion...

Why does he have so many of these things? He even has enough to spare for me?

Are the benefits at the Virtual Universe Company really this generous?

Or has Wang Yu found some other major backer?

Though he thought this, Yoda did not mention Wang Yu's assistance at all.

If it truly was a Universe-level Bloodline Potion, then this matter was too significant. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

He had already possessed some chance of breaking through anyway. This time, he could simply attribute it to good fortune and a lucky breakthrough, without stirring up unnecessary trouble.

Wang Yu was very satisfied with this outcome.

A breakthrough was not much different from an ordinary battle. It was determined by the combination of many factors, such as genetic bloodline, skill realm, soul will, treasures, energy...

Most people had every aspect at roughly the level appropriate for their rank. However, some true geniuses whom even Universe Masters valued could kill Marquis Immortals as World Lords. Their base strength was far inferior to that of Immortals, but with profound comprehension of the Origin Laws, advanced secret techniques, and heaven-defying treasures, they could make up for their shortcomings and possess combat power beyond higher-level experts.

The same was true of breakthroughs. If all factors were fairly ordinary and none were particularly outstanding, then the usual outcome was merely a certain chance of success, with success or failure impossible to predict.

But if certain factors were exceptionally outstanding and far surpassed ordinary standards—for example, stepping across the threshold of the Origin Laws at the Universe-level—then a breakthrough would be guaranteed.

Tutor Yoda's overall standards were quite good. His only weakness was his genetic bloodline. As long as he used a potion to improve his bloodline, he would naturally be able to break through.

Why go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield? That's just asking for trouble.

A tutor skilled at teaching is extremely rare. The universe is so dangerous—why go out there?

He should stay here obediently and teach this lord's subjects. That's the proper thing to do.

Wang Yu now had another Domain Lord-level subordinate.

News of Yoda's breakthrough to Domain Lord Level spread through the nearby star fields like a gust of wind.

When many people heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.

"That Yoda? Wasn't he about to die of old age? How did he suddenly break through?"

"Didn't he only have a small chance? His last failure nearly crippled him, yet he dared to take the risk again this time—and succeeded?"

"His luck is too good!"

Shock aside, success was success.

A Universe-level warrior at the end of his lifespan and a newly advanced Domain Lord with another nine hundred thousand years to live had vastly different statuses.

If a newly advanced Universe-level warrior could easily receive dozens of life planets as territory, while a powerful Universe-level warrior like the former Yoda could possess over a thousand life planets...

Then even a newly advanced Domain Lord could easily obtain several thousand or even ten thousand life planets, while a powerful Domain Lord could fully control territories containing as many as one hundred thousand planets!

Originally, Yoda had only been somewhat influential among the middle ranks of the White Dragon Sea Empire. But after this successful breakthrough, his worth soared a hundredfold. Many major factions immediately sent Domain Lord-level figures as representatives to congratulate him.

At the same time, even more people turned their attention to Wang Yu.

The two had a close relationship. Yoda had personally helped Wang Yu kill the invading star pirates, and he had even moved most of his family to Wang Yu's main planet. Clearly, he had joined Wang Yu's side.

Previously, Yoda had felt that breaking through would be difficult and had sought Wang Yu's protection for his family. But now that Yoda had become a Domain Lord himself, would he still be willing to remain under Wang Yu?

All sides watched with great interest, but they soon discovered that Yoda showed no sign of leaving War God Star.

This discovery greatly surprised many people.

Even if Wang Yu was certain to become a Domain Lord and had obtained the position of Commerce Department deacon at the Virtual Universe Company, making him no ordinary person...

Yoda had become a Domain Lord first, yet he was still willing to remain under Wang Yu. This was still beyond many people's expectations.

However, with a major event like the opening of the Seventh Battlefield underway, the powerhouses of all factions were too busy with their own affairs. The emergence of another Domain Lord was not a minor matter, but compared to that, it was nothing significant. Before long, they lost interest in paying further attention.

A year soon passed after Yoda's breakthrough.

At last, Tian Shi broke through the barrier of Unity of Heaven and Man and comprehended the Fire Domain at the Planetary-level.

Tian Shi stood suspended in the sky, blazing flames swirling around him. His Fire Domain spread out, covering an area of a thousand meters!

Scorching waves of fire roiled, and the entire sky seemed to turn into a sea of flames!

"Th-this is... a domain!?"

"He comprehended a domain at the Planetary-level? How is that possible!?"

"It's the Fire Domain! It really is a domain!"

Many powerhouses stared up at the sky in shock.

Even Tutor Yoda, who had become a Domain Lord-level powerhouse, could not help drawing in a sharp breath. "Hiss! He comprehended a domain at the Planetary-level... This talent... he's simply a super genius!"

One had to know that anyone who could comprehend a domain at the Planetary-level was a super genius chosen from among hundreds of millions!

Even at a major faction like the Ganwu Dojo, he could become a First-Class Elite and receive the highest-standard training!

As long as such a genius did not die young, his future achievements would be limitless!

"How old is Tian Shi? This... this is too outrageous!"

"I heard he still isn't even twenty yet..."

"He comprehended a domain before twenty? My god!"

The crowd discussed it fervently, their gazes toward Tian Shi filled with shock and envy.

Ji Qiyue in particular, as his junior sister, looked up at the senior brother in the sky who was younger than her, her heart filled with disbelief!

Hiss! What terrifying might! Senior Brother Tian Shi has only been accepted by Teacher for a few years, yet he comprehended a domain in such a short time?

Senior Brother Tian Shi's comprehension is simply too astonishing!

Wang Yu was also watching his eldest disciple show off in the sky from within the palace, and he was quite satisfied.

A disciple's achievements were naturally cause for joy, but there was more than one good thing happening.

[Elite Subject "Tian Shi" has comprehended a domain at the Planetary-level. Reward: 10 billion Origin Energy]

[Elite Subject "Tian Shi" meets the requirements for a Third-Class Elite. Lord level upgraded to 1-Star. Reward: Lord Special Building "Lord Palace." The point allocation panel gains "Space Origin Laws"]

[Elite Subject "Tian Shi" meets the requirements for a Third-Class Elite at the Planetary-level, exceeding the upgrade requirements. "Inheritance Talent Tree" unlocked]

"Finally upgraded!" Wang Yu was somewhat excited.

Even this first upgrade of the lord level required him to cultivate a genius who comprehended a domain. To receive the additional reward, that genius had to comprehend a domain at the Planetary-level.

Such requirements were truly difficult. Only now had he finally succeeded!
