Thank You, "Bronson Hinde", For Becoming A Member On My Pa'treon. The Emperor Protect.

-----------

After walking out of Sebastian's residence, Prokopy did not leave; instead, he looked back in the direction of the building. There was some emotion on his face.

Prokopy had been at the school as a tutor for nearly 20 years and had taken in many students. Those who entered the Super-Tier Academy were the top group of geniuses in each state, who were high-minded and arrogant. Even if you are careful, these geniuses might not listen, especially on something as important as the Planetary Upgrade.

The minority succeeded while the majority fell, resulting in a broken path ahead, eventually seeking their death—not to mention a genius like Sebastian who could defeat Yeattine.

"I hope Sebastian can be a little safer. With Sebastian's strength, it should be more secure for the Legendary Level," Prokopy thought to himself. It's just that he was afraid that Sebastian would not be willing and would choose a higher difficulty.

"If you want to choose the Mythical Level, the Small Mythical Level will do; don't choose the Great Mythical Level." Prokopy was even more nervous than Sebastian himself. For him, there were dozens or even hundreds of students, but none of them could compare to Sebastian.

As for the Eternal Level, he didn't think Sebastian would be confident to this extent.

[=====]

Inside the residence, Sebastian was looking through the information Prokopy had just sent while considering what difficulty he should choose.

In the information, he looked at the difficulty and results chosen for the promotion of the student planets of Hope's Peak Academy in the past. The completion rate of the task was relatively high, but there were just as many failures.

"According to all the years, there is a big difference in the difficulty of each level," Sebastian muttered. "But there's also an equally huge gap in talent at each level. What if Emperor Qing completed a Legendary Level task? Then his future planet would have a Legendary Level talent."

Planet talent was critical, as it would determine every aspect of a planet, such as the survival environment, mineral resources, quantity and quality of life, etc.—especially for supernatural species, as more higher-talent individuals would be born.

For example, if Yeattine's planet had Legendary Level talent, then his planet was going to create more Amethyst Behemoths. If it were Mythical Level talent, then the probability would be even higher. And if it were Eternal Level, you could be certain that the appearance would almost exclusively be Amethyst Behemoths.

"The gap between the Mythical Level and Eternal Level is even greater than the gap between other levels," Sebastian thought darkly. "The civilization I'm building needs more than other supernatural civilizations' geniuses, especially the kind of era-defining genius."

Technological revolutions need the support of fundamental theories, and a big breakthrough in basic theory is the domain of geniuses. It must be a super genius like Elizabeth.

On Earth, technology was changing day by day with seemingly very rapid development, but the basic theory had seen nearly a century with no major updates. Currently, Greater Terra is already about to reach the same stage as Earth. Sebastian could not guide them from surface civilization to interstellar civilization, as that would require even more theoretical support from geniuses.

"The school chose a key training point for me and Yeattine, and it should be based on this Planetary Upgrade assessment," Sebastian quickly figured out what Prokopy had just said. "Whoever ends up with the higher talent, that's who it will be."

Sebastian thought nothing of it. With Greater Terra's current level of technology, completing the Legendary Level difficulty should be a sure thing.

"Mythical Level is also possible? What if it's the Eternal Level?" Sebastian couldn't help but think about this difficulty. "If Greater Terra can achieve an Eternal Level talent, then it should be able to give birth to more geniuses at this level like Elizabeth, or even higher."

But this was difficult; Sebastian was not sure at all. He also had some understanding of this world: the planet's development history was very long—so long that no one could tell. This world was huge, and no one knew how big it was.

There were so many top geniuses in all regions, from the past to the present, so many geniuses who challenged the Eternal Level difficulty, but not one of them succeeded. If he chose the Mythical Level difficulty, he would be unwilling. He thought for a long time, then he suddenly remembered that he had a system.

After reflecting for a while, Sebastian asked the system, "System, if I choose the Eternal Level difficulty, what are the odds of passing it then?"

A moment later, the result of the system's deduction came out.

[Extrapolation route: Host's probability of passing the Eternal Level difficulty.]

[Extrapolation result: 30%.]

"30%?" Sebastian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This probability was a little too low. If it were for other top-tier geniuses, it would be considered very good. But for him, it was a gamble with life.

"It's just that..." Sebastian thought at this point: "It should be the result of extrapolation according to the current normal development rate of Greater Terra when there was no external interference.

"Sebastian could imagine what Greater Terra's technology level would be after the second technological revolution. He might fall into a slump, crawling forward, and by then, his power would not be much stronger than it was now.

Research in various fields was continuing, but in basic theory, there had been little breakthroughs. Inside Greater Terra, there was no war, so many things just didn't develop at all. Instead, over the years, entertainment, culture, and other tertiary industries showed signs of a rise.

Afterward, the people of the Imperium lived and worked in peace and happiness, leading to more spiritual pursuits. Television, cameras, and film technology have also appeared and flourished. It was the inevitable trend of history! Sebastian was not surprised.

[=====]

Inside the awakening space, Sebastian checked out the current level of technology in the Imperium, especially in the military.

"With the current level of weapons, it's still far from enough to challenge the Eternal Level difficulty." After observing everything, Sebastian had a preliminary judgment in his mind.

He couldn't help but think of Earth's most fearsome kind of weapon. But with Greater Terra's current technological direction, it was obvious that people were more enthusiastic about biological viruses and metallurgy. In a short time, there would not be a breakthrough in other fields.

Sebastian found Elizabeth and was ready to talk about it, similar to the guidance he had given to her when she was a teenager.

At this time, Elizabeth was nearly 50 years old, and while her beautiful face had wrinkles appearing, her smile was still lovely. With years of experience and wisdom, after her glorious conquests, some people hinted to Elizabeth to consider a lifelong event, but she rejected it. Since then, no onehasd mentioned it again!

The Astra Militarum was strange; some also advised Elizabeth to proclaim the empire, but she also rejected it. The throne of the emperor in the palace—the one sitting there was still a puppet of about the same age as Elizabeth.

The air trembled slightly.

As Elizabeth watched the starry sky at night, Sebastian appeared.

"Father," she said, excitement still shining in her eyes.

"If there were a weapon a hundred times more powerful than the Schwerer Gustav, what do you think it would be?" This time was the same as when Elizabeth was a child; he was using the method of air vibrating.

Elizabeth stared blankly, and immediately afterward, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. Wasn't this the way Sebastian had taught her when she was a child?

"If such a weapon existed, wouldn't it be able to annihilate the world?" Elizabeth began to seriously consider the question Sebastian had asked.

"Is Father trying to beat the more powerful Supernatural?" Elizabeth asked.

"No," Sebastian replied. "Not exactly. The escalating conquest of Greater Terra is coming soon, and to get through the highest difficulty, more powerful weapons are needed."

After saying these words, Sebastian left behind a deep-thinking Elizabeth. With her intelligence, she would naturally think clearly about many things. She didn't continue to observe the starry sky; instead, she contemplated what Sebastian had just said.

"Is it an extinction-grade weapon?" Elizabeth looked up at the distant pale earth and muttered, "Wouldn't it be enough to increase the scale of the Schwerer Gustav by a hundred times?"

"No, that's not right." Elizabeth immediately shook her head. "Let's not talk about whether this vision is practical, but Father should not mean this."

That night, Elizabeth rarely fell asleep. She pondered for a long time in bed, but there was no clue.

Sebastian silently observed. In terms of intelligence, Elizabeth was even more intelligent than Kai. Even when Sebastian did not need to give her too many hints—just saying one or two related words, Elizabeth could comprehend it all.

[=====]

Ding!

At that moment, the communicator suddenly sounded an alert. Sebastian picked it up and found that the admission bonus promised by the academy had arrived—a whole billion.

"This should be related to Teacher Prokopy, right?" Sebastian instantly understood. If he followed the normal process, how could it be so fast?

Sebastian first spent 100 million to purchase some Origin Power again in the mall, then re-entered the Awakening Space on Greater Terra.

[=====]

After three days had passed, Elizabeth still did not know. But she changed her strategy; she was no longer thinking on her own. Instead, she prepared to inspect one research group after another to see if she could get inspiration from other scientists.
