The conversation continued, flowing from topic to topic with the ease of long friendship. Liam told stories about his training mishaps, Emma shared gossip from the outer zones, and Sophia offered quiet observations that revealed a sharp, analytical mind. Carla listened more than she spoke, but when she did contribute, her words carried weight."So," Liam said, leaning back in his chair with a satisfied sigh. "We've got Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III. What about Tier IV? Or Tier V? Is there a ranking below Tier III?"Carla shook her head. "The Holy Land only recognizes three tiers. Those who don't qualify for Tier III are simply not considered geniuses by the Council's standards. They can still train, still grow, still compete but they don't receive the same resources or opportunities.""That seems harsh.""It is. But it's also necessary. The Council can't give every cultivator in the human race access to the Holy Land's resources. The population is too vast, billions of cultivators acr
Lyra Voss
Carla nodded. "The Holy Land categorizes geniuses into different tiers based on their potential and progress. Tier III is for those who show great promise but still need time to develop. Tier II is for those who are on the right path and can compete for a seat among the elite. Tier I is for those who have already proven themselves the absolute best of the best.""And you're in Tier I?""I am. So is Lyra." Carla paused. Sophia also added, " I am in Tier II. Liam and Emma are in Tier III."Liam grimaced. "Way to make us feel inadequate, Sophia.""I'm not trying to make you feel inadequate. I'm simply stating facts. The tiers are not a judgment of your worth, they are a reflection of your current progress. You are both talented. You have the potential to reach Tier II, perhaps even Tier I, with time and training."Carla nodded then added, “ it's a ranking which is absolutely fair for everyone.”"Easy for you to say," Liam muttered. "You're already at the top.""I worked for it," Carla s
Tier I
The restaurant was warm and inviting, filled with the smell of roasting meat and fresh bread. The table they had secured was large enough to accommodate David's massive frame, and the food that arrived was plentiful spirit boar roast, glazed vegetables, steaming bowls of rice, and pitchers of cool fruit wine. For a while, there was no conversation, only the sounds of eating and the occasional satisfied sigh.Liam was the first to break the silence, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "You know, David, I've been meaning to ask you something."David looked up from his plate. "What?""Have you heard about the girl who reached Immortal King in just a few centuries? She was in the first competition, back when you were still in the Abyss. Started as an Immortal realm cultivator, barely qualified for the bracket. By the time the competition ended, she had broken through to Immortal King. It was... insane."David raised an eyebrow. "A few centuries? From Immortal to Immortal King?""E
Normal Life
David was silent for a moment. He glanced at Carla, who was watching him with curious eyes. She had been present for the entire fifteen years, listening to his explanations, absorbing his understanding. She probably knew more about the fusion than Liam did."The fusion of laws is the next step on the path to the God realm," David said. "It is the process of merging two supreme laws into a single, unified understanding. Time and Space are the two laws I am attempting to fuse. If I succeed, I will transcend the limits of the Universe Lord realm and can break through to the God realm.""God realm? Is that so easy to break through to the God realm?""The God realm is beyond the Universe Lord realm. The fusion of laws is the key to reaching it. How can it be easy? There are other factors as well."Liam leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. "So you're trying to become a god.""I'm trying to become what I was meant to do."The words hung in the air. Liam nodded slowly. Emma st
Friends
The silence that followed was normal. Liam and Emma exchanged glances. Carla watched her mother, her expression complicated.David met Matilda's gaze. He saw the hope there, the hope that maybe, just maybe, there was a path forward.He did not know if there was. But he also did not know if there wasn't."Not immediately," he said finally. "But you can come with us for dinner. After that, we can talk."Matilda nodded slowly. The hope in her eyes flickered but the other half of the sentence reignited it. "Okay, I won't be joining as you have friends with you. But I think you young people should go for food. I will come later to meet you."She turned and followed Erevan, her figure disappearing into the distance. Carla watched her mother go, then looked at David."You're being kinder than I expected," she said quietly as the others couldn't hear."I'm being honest," David replied. "I don't know what I feel about her. But I know I can't keep running from it forever."Carla nodded. She und
Liam Surprise
The moment was interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps.David turned to see two figures walking toward them across the training grounds. One was Lord Erevan the ancient Universe Lord, his white hair catching the artificial light, his expression calm but watchful. The other was Matilda.His mother.Carla straightened immediately, her posture shifting into something more formal. She had been relaxed a moment ago, laughing with David's friends. Now she was the Blackwood heir again controlled, composed, aware of every eye that watched her.Liam noticed the approaching figures. He looked at them with curiosity, then his eyes widened with recognition and whispered in David's ears. "Those are... those are Universe Lords. Senior members of the Council. I've seen them at the competitions.""Yes," David said quietly. "They are."He did not look at Matilda. He kept his gaze fixed on Lord Erevan, his expression neutral. But he could feel her presence, the familiar weight of her aura, th
