Chapter 47 Seventeen Top-Tier Forces

"The seventeen top-tier forces of the cosmic human race?" Xu Jingming shuddered.

Tianuo held his wine glass, took a sip, and nodded. "In the vast universe, human history is very long. Now, the area where we reproduce and survive is as large as 34 cosmic domains! Humans can be so powerful not only because of the deep accumulation of technology but also because some 'Supreme Realm' existences have emerged in terms of evolution. The deterrent power of Supreme Realm existences using some forbidden weapons of destruction is terrifying."

Xu Jingming nodded.

He knew a little about the Supreme Realm.

When he possessed 'Xuan,' Xu Jingming understood that Xuan was ultimately just a cosmic legend and failed to reach the Supreme Realm!

"Human history is too long, and much of it is lost, with no records to be found," Tianuo said. "But from ancient times to the present, according to speculation, there should have been about twenty Supreme Realm existences. This is a rough estimate, and the error won't be too large."

"And now, throughout the Cosmic Human Alliance, I know of three Supreme Realm existences who are still alive," Tianuo said.

"Three living Supreme Realm existences?" Xu Jingming listened to these secrets, memorizing them firmly.

Tianuo didn't intend to keep it a secret.

Because for the core members of the Cosmic Human Alliance, this was basic common knowledge.

"The seventeen top-tier forces have all produced Supreme Realm existences," Tianuo said. "Even if some ancient Supreme Realm existences have disappeared into the long river of time, the accumulation of the forces they left behind is also terrifying."

"The Cosmic Human Alliance has always protected the inheritance and continuation of the seventeen forces. Each generation of these seventeen top-tier forces has a large number of tenth-order powerhouses and even cosmic legends," Tianuo said. "With the accumulation of long years, it's hard to imagine how many secrets are hidden."

"It can be said that the accumulation of humans on the path of evolution is mainly in these seventeen top-tier forces," Tianuo said. "The highest-level members of the three major cosmic advanced civilizations and all star alliances are almost all members of the seventeen top-tier forces."

Xu Jingming understood and knew how terrifying these seventeen forces were.

"The entry threshold for the seventeen top-tier forces is very high," Tianuo said. "Generally, one must become a Source Lifeform to be recruited as a formal member."

"Source Lifeform?" Xu Jingming was secretly shocked.

This threshold was ridiculously high!

"Later, there was strong opposition within the Cosmic Human Alliance," Tianuo said. "Because the most numerous cosmic primary civilizations are too weak, and the power they can cultivate is limited. Even with the same talent, they can be cultivated into a ninth-order existence in an advanced cosmic civilization, but in a primary cosmic civilization, they can only be cultivated into an eighth-order existence."

"The original competition model couldn't maximize the strength of the entire human race."

"So..."

Tianuo put down his wine glass. "There is the Blood Rain World's 'Mysterious Land,' which is also the only open and fair recruitment channel, giving many ordinary cosmic citizens a chance."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"You are in the Mysterious Land, and your companions are also from the Hunter Cosmic Domain," Tianuo said. "Therefore, in addition to the seventeen top-tier forces, there are 352 forces from the Hunter Cosmic Domain secretly observing you."

"352 forces from the Hunter Cosmic Domain?" Xu Jingming's heart stirred.

"These forces are also quite strong, either overlords of a star alliance or powerful forces that have infiltrated multiple star alliances," Tianuo said. "It's not easy to be ranked among the 352 forces in a cosmic domain." Xu Jingming firmly remembered this information.

"In the Mysterious Land, your every move is observed by the seventeen top-tier forces and 352 regional-level forces. Those observers are responsible for reviewing and voting to determine whether to recruit you."

"The seven planets are actually seven trial planets. The further you go, the harder the trials become."

"Those who can successfully reach the fifth planet are generally selected by the 352 regional-level forces."

"Only those who successfully reach the seventh planet have a chance to be selected by the 17 top-tier forces," Tianuo said. "A chance?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Yes."

Tianuo nodded. "The 17 top-tier forces are very strict in selecting people."

"I still know their selection rules," Tianuo said in a low voice. "I'm telling you, so don't tell anyone else."

"Understood," Xu Jingming said, feeling grateful.

Selection rules? These were generally not made public. "You should know that there are many opportunities in the Mysterious Land," Tianuo began to explain.

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded. "I heard there are many opportunities." "In fact, each of you can only stay on the seven planets for a maximum of 330 days," Tianuo said. "During this process, you can try again and again to see if you can pass the trial and go to the next planet."

"And some people have limited strength and potential, such as stopping at the third planet," Tianuo said. "They can spend the rest of their time on the third planet looking for opportunities."

"In fact, opportunities exist on all seven planets," Tianuo said. "These are the gifts that the seventeen top-tier forces have prepared for these geniuses."

"Even if you are not selected by the seventeen top-tier forces or the regional-level forces, finding an opportunity that suits you and improving your strength is still a gain," Tianuo said.

Xu Jingming nodded.

This screening was still benevolent, and the original intention was to make the entire human race stronger.

"The selection rules of the seventeen forces mainly involve three aspects."

"First, you must reach the seventh planet."

"Second, you must successfully comprehend and master one of the opportunities on the seventh planet. The opportunities there are the most top-notch opportunities for the cosmic human race."

"Third, your resume will be reviewed, your past experience, your age..."

"Combining these three aspects, an internal vote is held to determine whether to accept you as an outer member," Tianuo said. "So, as long as you reach the seventh planet, seize the time to try and study those opportunities."

"Don't waste time on the first six planets! The faster you reach the seventh planet, the more time you have to comprehend the opportunities," Tianuo reminded. "Of course, it's very, very difficult to do this. After all, there are too many geniuses in the vast universe."

Xu Jingming nodded.

He had cultivated for less than a year and was already an Origin Star lifeform beyond the limit. In less than two years, he had reached the seventh level.

He seemed very talented.

But there were really many geniuses in the vast universe!

"Actually, if you can't get into the seventeen top-tier forces, it's okay to go to a regional-level force for the time being," Tianuo said. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Xu Jingming said gratefully.

Tianuo was indeed helping him with all his heart. Knowing this information would prevent him from going astray.

If he knew nothing, he might be attracted by the opportunities on the first six planets and waste time.

"Also, remember to hide your identity," Tianuo reminded. "They should have made you change your appearance when you entered the Mysterious Land."

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded.

"The observers from the seventeen top-tier forces and 352 regional-level forces are secretly observing, but they don't know your true identities," Tianuo said. "Don't reveal it in conversations. As long as you say it, those observers will know."

"Once hundreds of forces know..."

Tianuo shook his head. "If you're not a genius, it's fine! But if you're monstrously talented and outstanding, you'll be targeted by some dark forces."

Xu Jingming's pupils constricted.

"Even though the laws are strict, the universe is too vast, and there are too many uncontrollable things," Tianuo said. "And a genius selected by the seventeen top-tier forces is worth a fortune."

"Don't think that only outer members are targeted; even formal members can be killed by some dark forces!" Tianuo shook his head slightly. "You'll know many things in the future."

"In short, keep it a secret."

Tianuo said, "The higher your talent, the more monstrous you are, the more you need to keep it a secret. Trust no one but yourself. Only when you are strong enough can you fearlessly face the prying eyes of the darkness." Xu Jingming nodded.

No wonder they were required to change their appearance and hide their true information as soon as they entered the Mysterious Land.

It was estimated that many problems had occurred in history, which led to this strict requirement.

"There are so many criminals and so many dark things even with the constraints of the Cosmic Human Alliance's laws. Without the alliance, I don't know what it would be like," Xu Jingming thought. "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Tianuo asked.

Xu Jingming said, "Thank you, Your Excellency. I understand what the Mysterious Land is all about."

"Knowing is one thing; how far you can go and how much you can gain depends on you," Tianuo said. For example, he himself knew too many secrets! His father was a high-ranking member of the entire Cosmic Human Alliance, but he was only a fifth-order Starry Sky lifeform.

Alas, what could he do if he was not competitive himself?

"Go."

Tianuo waved his hand. "You don't have to tell me the results of your journey in the Mysterious Land, and don't tell anyone else, including your most trusted relatives!"

"Once you say it, even if your relatives keep it a secret for you, your Blue Star's security defense system will monitor and record it. As long as the message is spoken, even if you say it to the air, it may leak out," Tianuo said. "The more talented you are, the more careful you must be when you are weak. You can't take any chances."

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will definitely remember it," Xu Jingming said before taking his leave.

Tianuo watched him leave.

"I'm so envious."

Tianuo muttered. He could get all the cultivation resources he wanted, but look at him. Without famous teachers to guide him, he had only self-studied the first volume of *Hua Guang*, reaching the seventh level in less than two years.

Tianuo knew that there was no comparison between people.

Even deep down, he wanted his parents to be proud of him, but the reality repeatedly tormented him. He had even relied on external forces to become a Starry Sky lifeform. What could he do?

"In the eyes of my father and mother, they would be satisfied as long as I didn't cause them trouble and did my own business steadily. If only I could do better," Tianuo continued to look up information.
