"Clan 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.
Mentor Yoda floated in midair, his body still faintly emanating the formidable aura he had yet to fully restrain after completing his breakthrough.
It was an aura far beyond the Universe-level!
"That's right! I did it! I finally did it!" Yoda laughed loudly.
The three Universe-level clan members were ecstatic upon hearing this!
"That's wonderful!"
"Congratulations, Clan Ancestor!"
"Congratulations, Clan Ancestor!"
The three were overjoyed, so excited that they could barely speak coherently!
Their Clan Ancestor was already over ninety thousand years old and had been nearing the end of his lifespan. In recent years, he had even begun arranging the family's affairs after his death. Yet who would have thought... that he would break through today?
A Universe-level expert had a lifespan of one hundred thousand years, while a Domain Lord-level expert had a lifespan of one million years!
With this breakthrough, their Clan Ancestor's lifespan had increased tenfold. He no longer needed to worry about his lifespan or what would happen after his death. Moreover, with a Domain Lord-level powerhouse in their family, their status would be completely different!
At that moment, a figure flew over from afar. It was Wang Yu.
[Elite Citizen "Yoda" has broken through to Domain Lord Level. Reward: 1 trillion Origin Energy]
"Congratulations, Mentor. You finally got your wish and became a Domain Lord." Wang Yu smiled and clasped his hands, his face filled with sincere congratulations.
A reward of one trillion!
Mentor'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 calculated in Chaos Yuan Units. Those who used Chaos Yuan Units were usually at least World Lord-level powerhouses!
An incredible profit from producing a Domain Lord! Wang Yu sighed inwardly.
But it really wasn't easy. I still don't have the means to cultivate Universe-level experts into Domain Lords in batches.
A Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion costs 20 Chaos Yuan Units in the System Shop. Using one would mean losing 19 Chaos Yuan Units, and a fake Domain Lord with no real strength probably couldn't keep making money for me either. I can't do that...
Mentor Yoda looked at Wang Yu, his gaze incredibly complicated—gratitude, shock, understanding...
In the end, all those emotions turned into a knowing smile.
He was not ignorant. The potion's effects were overwhelmingly powerful, and the extent to which it enhanced one's genetic bloodline was simply astonishing!
It far exceeded his expectations!
Such a powerful effect clearly could not have come from an S-Type Bloodline Evolution Potion.
It had to be of a higher grade!
A Universe-level Bloodline Potion...
Why does he have so many of these things? He even had enough to spare for me?
Are the benefits at the Virtual Universe Company really this generous?
Or has Wang Yu found another powerful backer?
Though he thought this inwardly, Yoda did not mention Wang Yu's assistance at all.
If it really was a Universe-level Bloodline Potion, then this matter was far too significant. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
He had already possessed a certain chance of breaking through anyway. This time, he would simply treat it as good luck and a fortunate breakthrough, without creating unnecessary complications.
Wang Yu was quite satisfied with this outcome.
Breaking through was actually no different from an ordinary battle. It was shaped by many factors, such as one's genetic bloodline, skill realm, soul and will, treasures, energy...
The vast majority of people had all aspects of themselves roughly at the level appropriate for their rank. However, some true geniuses valued even by Universe Masters could kill Marquis Immortals as World Lords. Though their basic power was far inferior to that of Immortals, their profound understanding of the laws, advanced secret techniques, and heaven-defying treasures could compensate for their weaknesses, allowing their true combat strength to surpass higher-level powerhouses.
The same was true for breakthroughs. If all factors were fairly ordinary and none stood out greatly, then one would usually have only a certain chance of success, with the outcome uncertain.
However, 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 successful breakthrough was guaranteed.
Mentor Yoda's overall foundation was already quite good. His only weakness was his genetic bloodline. As long as he used a potion to improve it, breaking through naturally became possible.
Why go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield? That's just asking for trouble, Wang Yu thought.
A mentor skilled at teaching is rare. The universe is so dangerous, so why go out there?
He should stay here obediently and teach this lord's citizens. That's the proper thing to do.
Wang Yu now had a Domain Lord-level subordinate.
News of Yoda's breakthrough to Domain Lord Level spread through the surrounding starfields like the wind.
Many people's first reaction upon hearing the news 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 ruined him, yet he dared to take the risk again and actually succeeded?"
"His luck is ridiculously good!"
Shock aside, success was success.
A Universe-level expert nearing the end of his lifespan and a newly advanced Domain Lord with nine hundred thousand years left to live held vastly different statuses.
If a newly advanced Universe-level expert could easily obtain dozens of life planets as territory, while a powerful Universe-level expert 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 tens of thousands of life planets. A powerful Domain Lord could completely control planetary territories numbering up to a hundred thousand!
Originally, Yoda had only possessed some influence among the middle ranks of the White Dragon Sea Empire. But after this successful breakthrough, his worth had increased 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 were close. Yoda had personally helped Wang Yu kill the invading star pirates, and he had even moved most of his family to Wang Yu's primary planet. He had clearly joined Wang Yu's side.
Previously, Yoda had felt it difficult to break through, so he had sought Wang Yu's protection for his family. But now that Yoda had broken through on his own, 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 surprised many people.
Even though 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 the opening of the Seventh Battlefield being such a major event, the powerhouses of every faction were too busy with their own affairs. The addition of one more Domain Lord was not a trivial matter, but compared to that, it was nothing. Before long, no one was interested in paying further attention to it.
A year quickly passed after Yoda's breakthrough.
Finally, Tian Shi crossed the threshold of Unity of Heaven and Man and comprehended the Fire Domain at the Planetary-level.
Tian Shi stood suspended in the sky, surrounded by roaring flames. His fire domain unfolded, covering an area a thousand meters across!
Scorching waves of fire rolled outward, and the entire sky seemed to transform 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 looked up at the sky in shock.
Even Mentor Yoda, now 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 peerless genius!"
One had to know that those capable of comprehending a domain at the Planetary-level were peerless geniuses chosen from hundreds of millions!
Even in a major faction like the Ganwu Dojo, they could become First-Class Elites and receive the highest standard of cultivation!
As long as such geniuses did not die young, their future achievements would be limitless!
"How old is Tian Shi? Th-this is too outrageous!"
"I heard he isn't even twenty yet..."
"He comprehended a domain before turning twenty? My god!"
The crowd discussed animatedly, their gazes toward Tian Shi filled with shock and envy.
Especially Ji Qiyue, his junior sister. Looking up at the senior brother in the sky who was younger than her, she was utterly stunned!
"Hiss! What an overwhelming presence! Senior Brother Tian Shi... He has only been accepted as Teacher's disciple for a few years, yet he comprehended a domain in such a short time?"
"Senior Brother Tian Shi's comprehension is simply terrifying!"
Wang Yu was also inside the palace, watching his eldest disciple show off in the sky. He was quite satisfied.
A disciple's achievements were naturally worth celebrating, but there was more than one good thing happening.
[Elite Citizen "Tian Shi" comprehended a domain at the Planetary-level. Reward: 10 billion Origin Energy] [Elite Citizen "Tian Shi" meets the requirements for a Third-Class Elite. Lord level upgraded to 1-Star. Reward: Lord Special Building "Lord Palace." The attribute panel gains "Space Origin Laws."] [Elite Citizen "Tian Shi" meets the requirements for a Third-Class Elite at the Planetary-level, exceeding the upgrade requirements. "Inheritance Talent Tree" unlocked.]
"Finally, I've upgraded!" Wang Yu was somewhat excited.
Even this first upgrade of the lord level required him to cultivate a genius capable of comprehending a domain. To receive the additional rewards, that genius had to comprehend a domain at the Planetary-level.
Such requirements truly were not easy to meet. It had finally happened only now!
