“The seventeen top forces of the human universe?” Xu Jingming said, startled.

Tiano held his wine glass, took a sip, and nodded. “In the vast universe, human history is extremely long. Now, the territory where humans thrive spans 34 universe domains! Humans are so powerful not only because of their 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 destructive weapons is terrifying.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

He understood a little about the Supreme Realm.

When he possessed ‘Xuan’, Xu Jingming understood that Xuan was ultimately only a universe legend and failed to become a Supreme Realm existence!

“Human history is too long, and much of it is missing; records cannot be found,” Tiano said. “But from ancient times to the present, according to speculation, about twenty Supreme Realm existences should have emerged. This is a rough estimate, and the error won't be too large.”

“And in the entire human universe alliance today, I know there are three living Supreme Realm existences,” Tiano said.

“Three living Supreme Realm existences?” Xu Jingming listened to these secrets, remembering them firmly.

Tiano had no intention of keeping them secret.

Because for core members of the human universe alliance, these were basic common sense.

“The seventeen top forces have all produced Supreme Realm existences,” Tiano said. “Even if some ancient Supreme Realm existences have disappeared in the long river of time, the accumulation of the forces they left behind is terrifying.”

“The human universe alliance has also been protecting the inheritance and continuation of the seventeen forces. A large number of Tier 10 powerhouses, and even universe legends, are born in each generation of these seventeen top forces,” Tiano said. “Over a long period, it is hard to imagine what secrets are hidden.”

“It can be said that the accumulation of humans on the path of evolution is mainly within these seventeen top forces,” Tiano said. “The highest-level members of the three major universe advanced civilizations and all star alliances are almost all members of the seventeen top forces.”

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

“The recruitment threshold for the seventeen top forces is very high,” Tiano said. “Generally, you have to become a Source Lifeform to be recruited and become a formal member.”

“Source Lifeform?” Xu Jingming was secretly shocked.

This threshold was ridiculously high!

“Later, there was strong opposition within the human universe alliance,” Tiano said, “because the most numerous universe elementary civilizations are too weak, and their ability to cultivate power is limited. Even with the same talent, they can be cultivated to Tier 9 in an advanced universe civilization, but in an elementary universe civilization, they can only be cultivated to Tier 8.”

“The original competition model cannot maximize the strength of all humanity.”

“Therefore…”

Tiano put down his wine glass, “There is the Bloody Rain World ‘Mysterious Land,’ which is also the only public and fair recruitment channel, giving many ordinary universe citizens a chance.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

“In the Mysterious Land, your companions are also from the Hunter Universe Domain,” Tiano said. “Therefore, in addition to the seventeen top forces, there are also 352 forces from the Hunter Universe Domain secretly observing you.”

“352 forces from the Hunter Universe Domain?” Xu Jingming's heart stirred.

“These forces are also quite strong, either a hegemonic force of a star alliance or a powerful force that has penetrated multiple star alliances,” Tiano said. “It is very difficult to be among the 352 forces in a universe domain.” Xu Jingming carefully remembered this information.

“In the Mysterious Land, your every move is under the observation of the seventeen top forces and 352 regional 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 forces.”

“Only those who successfully reach the seventh planet have a chance to be selected by the 17 top forces,” Tiano said. “A chance?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Yes.”

Tiano nodded, “The 17 top forces are very harsh in selecting people.”

“I know their selection rules,” Tiano said in a low voice. “I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else.”

“Understood,” Xu Jingming said, grateful.

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

“Yes,” Xu Jingming nodded, “I heard there are many opportunities.”

“In reality, each of you can only stay on the seven planets for a maximum of 330 days,” Tiano said. “During this process, you can try again and again whether you can pass the test and go to the next planet.”

“And some people, with limited strength and potential, stop at the third planet, for example,” Tiano said. “They can spend the rest of their time looking for opportunities on the third planet.”

“In fact, there are opportunities on all seven planets,” Tiano said. “These are the gifts prepared by the seventeen top forces for these geniuses.”

“Even if you are not selected by the seventeen forces or the regional forces, finding an opportunity that suits you and improving your strength is still a gain,” Tiano said.

Xu Jingming nodded.

This screening was still benevolent and intended to make all humanity stronger.

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

“First, you must reach the seventh planet.”

“Second, the opportunities on the seventh planet! The opportunities there are the most top-notch opportunities for humans in the universe, and you must successfully comprehend one and successfully get started.”

“Third, your resume will be reviewed, your past experience, your age…”

“Combining these three aspects and going through internal voting, it is determined whether to accept you as an outer member,” Tiano said. “So as long as you reach the seventh planet, seize the time to try to 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,” Tiano reminded. “Of course, it is 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 ultra-limited planetary lifeform. In less than two years, he had reached Tier 7.

It seemed very genius-like.

But there were really too many geniuses in the vast universe!

“Actually, it's okay to go to a regional force temporarily if you can’t get into the seventeen top forces,” Tiano said. “Don’t be too stressed.”

“Thank you, Envoy,” Xu Jingming was very grateful.

Tiano 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,” Tiano reminded. “You should have been made to change your appearance when you entered the Mysterious Land.”

“Yes,” Xu Jingming nodded.

“The observers of the seventeen top forces and 352 regional forces, although they are observing secretly, they don’t know your real identities,” Tiano said. “Don’t reveal it in conversation. As long as you say it, those observers will know.”

“Once hundreds of forces know…”

Tiano shook his head, “It’s okay if you’re not a genius! If you are monstrously outstanding, you will be targeted by some dark forces.”

Xu Jingming’s pupils shrank.

“Even though the laws are strict, the universe is too vast, and there are too many uncontrollable things,” Tiano said. “And a genius selected by the seventeen top forces is invaluable in itself.”

“Not to mention if you are an outer member, even formal members are killed by some dark forces,” Tiano shook his head slightly. “You will know many things in the future.”

“In short, keep it secret.”

Tiano said, “The more talented and monstrous you are, the more you must keep it secret. Except for yourself, no one else can be trusted. Only when you are strong enough will you not fear the prying eyes of darkness.” Xu Jingming nodded.

No wonder he was required to change his appearance and conceal his true information as soon as he 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 human universe alliance laws. If there were no alliance, I don’t know what it would be like,” Xu Jingming thought to himself. “Anything else you want to ask?” Tiano asked.

Xu Jingming said, “Thank you, Envoy. 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 yourself,” Tiano said. For example, he himself knew too many secrets! His father was a high-level member of the entire human universe alliance, but he was only a Tier 5 Starry Sky Lifeform.

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

“Go.”

Tiano waved his hand, “You don’t need to tell me the result of闯 (chuǎng) 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 security defense system will also monitor and record it. As long as the message is spoken, even if you say it to the air, it may leak out,” Tiano said. “The more talented you are, the more careful you must be when you are weak. You cannot afford to take any chances.”

“Thank you, Envoy. I will definitely remember it,” Xu Jingming said, and then bid farewell and left.

Tiano watched him leave.

“I really envy him.”

Tiano muttered. He could get all the cultivation resources he wanted, but look at him. Without a famous teacher to guide him, he had only taught himself the first part of *Hua Guang* (化光, Transformation of Light), and had reached Tier 7 in less than two years of cultivation.

Tiano knew that there was really no way to compare people to each other.

Even though he wanted his parents to be proud of him deep down, the repeated realities tormented him. He had even become a Starry Sky Lifeform with the help of external forces. What could he do?

“In my father and mother’s eyes, they would be satisfied if I just didn’t cause them trouble and steadily pursued my own career. But I actually want to do better,” Tiano continued to look through the materials.
