1036 Last Chance 5 (1/2)

For one, how was his Celestial Deer Quadrant ranked first those few millennia ago if there was such an existence here? Secondly, weren't their only 10000 universes left? Now there were 10100 universes? That didn't even mention the hidden universes that housed the devil path cultivators.

But then Dyon began to re-evaluate. The 10 000 universe number he had long since kept in his mind was a number the younger Belmont Prince had given him, how credible could it possibly be? The number was likely taken an estimate he made after reading about the fact there were 100 Epistemic Towers. Since there was one for every quadrant, assuming the ten thousand figure was reasonable.

Obviously, since the Star Race was under the rule of a single clan, they didn't need two towers for both their quadrants.

That said, this was all Dyon's guess. One way or another, he had found it weird that there were exactly ten thousand universes left. The number was too… perfect. Real life was rarely so rounded out.

What was truly surprising was that the difference between first and everybody else was so large…

The second ranked Drago-Qilin lands didn't even have a single Emperor God Clan, let alone a Comet level clan. The fourth ranked Golden Flame Quadrant had four Emperor God Sects. Similarly, down the rankings, a quadrant usually had at least two Emperor God Clans. None were even close…

”There's a lot about this cosmos we don't know. The Star Race only appeared a few thousand years ago and completely swallowed up a quadrant that used to house a minor quadrant, not even ranked in the top 70. At that time, they had already become a One Comet Clan, so what could such a weak quadrant do?

”They would have continued their conquest, but it seemed they didn't know about the interconnectivity of our quadrants before they attacked. From what we understand, they just happened to discover that poor quadrant nearby and saw it as an easy pie to swallow.

”By the time other quadrants realized what was happening, it was already too late. And, for obvious reasons, the Star Race wouldn't just cough up something they had already eaten, so we could only allow the one time breaking of our unspoken rules.”

Dyon nodded. For the Epistemic Tower system to work as it had for so long, there of course had to be some unspoken rules, or else what was stopping powerhouses like the Emperor Giants from conquering one weak quadrant after another?

It was also for this reason that almost all quadrant had Emperor God Clans, yet there was such a large difference between the quadrants themselves.
