According to the division, the standard for a Level 1 planet was a diameter of 1,000 kilometers or less. In contrast, the diameter of a Level 2 planet was between 1,000 kilometers and 10,000 kilometers. The diameter of the moon in his previous universe was more than 3,000 kilometers.

Of course, the concept of planets in this world was not quite the same as in his previous universe. Each one is a supernatural planet; thus, it couldn't be linked to his previous universe at all.

"After the planet's advancement, the size received a relatively enormous increase," Sebastian thought to himself.

It's a little different from before. If one successfully passed the planet advancement task, each planet, regardless of its previous diameter, would advance directly to Level 2. That meant a minimum of 1,000 kilometers. Even those whose planet diameter was limited to 500 kilometers or less would experience the same increase.

The planet also gained talents of Ordinary Level, Elite Level, Commander Level, King Level, Epic Level, Legendary Level, Mythical Level, or Eternal Level. The higher the planet's talent, the greater the increase in diameter after the advancement.

Let's consider a planet with a diameter of 500 kilometers that successfully passed the Ordinary Level mission; this planet would gain Ordinary Level status and have a promoted diameter of at least 1,000 kilometers. If a planet with a diameter of 600 kilometers passed the Ordinary Level, the promoted diameter would be around 1,100 kilometers. If it reached the Elite Level, the increased diameter would be even more, and so forth.

The higher the level, the bigger the planet becomes after advancement. However, there was no fixed value, as every planet was unique. Sebastian's current planet, Terra, had an Eternal Level talent, so the increase was the largest.

"According to past results, even at a high level, the increased diameter would not exceed 500 kilometers," Sebastian thought to himself, anticipation building in his heart. "I wonder how much the Eternal Level will increase?"

Sebastian focused his attention and looked towards Terra. The first thing that caught his eye was the azure planet that had grown significantly larger. Sebastian took a serious look; it was almost twice as big as before, with an astonishing life force radiating from it.

After achieving Level 2, the size of the planet remained linked to its life force. Sebastian could feel the thriving growth and vitality of Terra at this moment.

"Finally, it's a Level 2 planet now," Sebastian felt immense relief as he checked the planet's panel.

After becoming a Level 2 planet, the data on the panel underwent significant changes. There was also an additional line of text:

[ Planet Name: Terra ]

[ Planet Level: Level 2 ]

[ Planet Diameter: 1,888 km ]

[ Planet Species: 1,500 ]

[ Planet Talent: Eternal Level ]

[ Extrapolation Route: None ]

"An increase of 888 kilometers in diameter?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows.

Compared to the 999 kilometers before the advancement, it was almost double. This was also a manifestation of the Eternal Level talent. Since only the planet master could see this planet panel, Sebastian didn't need to worry about it being leaked to outsiders.

"Species seem to have increased as well?" Sebastian suddenly noticed the column for planet species.

Before the advancement, it was 1,450 species, but now there were 1,500. A whole 50 new species had been added.

"This must be the new species that formed during the process of Terra expanding," Sebastian guessed.

This was one of the incredible aspects of Awakening Space; it simply couldn't be conceived by common sense.

After examining the panel, Sebastian checked the specific changes on Terra. First was the 1st Continent.

[ ===== ]

The Imperium.

In Royal Tomb Mountain, there weren't many people left now. After the successful completion of the conquest, they held a grand celebration ceremony. The generals and scientists partied for days.

Elizabeth and the others also breathed a long sigh of relief. Except for a few individuals who stayed behind in Royal Tomb Mountain, most of the population went on vacation to rest.

What puzzled Sebastian was the little growth in the population of the Imperium. For the extra life force, where did it come from?

Sebastian's gaze shifted from Royal Tomb Mountain and turned to the rest of the 1st Continent.

Mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, etc, Sebastian felt an increase in vitality. The flora and fauna in these areas had changed a little in number, but their vitality had strengthened. Sebastian quickly understood the reason for this.

It was a life force enhancement. Each plant had become stronger, and its vitality was more robust. This included the people of the Imperium as well; most notably, their physique and lifespan increased.

Previously, the average life expectancy of the Imperium's citizens was about 70 years; it had now risen to 90 years. This was accomplished without an increase in technology levels. If it were on Earth, it was estimated that breaking the 100-year mark would not be a problem.

With a stronger physique, the infant mortality rate was lower, and the incidence of various congenital diseases was also reduced as resistance to injury and illness increased. It was an all-around improvement.

For Sebastian, the most important point was that the development of technology would yield more intellectuals; geniuses were far more valuable than sheer numbers in other civilizations. A genius at the level of Kai or Elizabeth was not something easily compensated for.

The planet that suddenly expanded mostly went unnoticed by the populace. Only a few scientists, like Elizabeth, observed the continuous growth of the planet beneath their feet. The diameter of the planet had nearly doubled, but even so, its expansion did not stop there. There was still a lot of extra land.

On the 1st Continent, an entirely new topography emerged. Originally, the longest river was the Mighty Canal; however, another wider and more flowing river had manifested on the western side of the landmass, forming a new watershed corridor due to nearby red mineral deposits. This river often carried a significant amount of this red mineral, giving it a crimson hue.

"Let's call it the Red River," Sebastian thought, lacking a sense of creativity in naming.

In the basin of the Red River, a massive rainforest had formed. This was also a landform that had not existed before, the tropical rainforest.

After its advancement, Terra gained 50 extra species, most of which inhabited this tropical rainforest. While the rainforest's area was still comparatively smaller for now, Sebastian imagined that as Terra continued to expand, the tropical rainforest would grow stronger and more new species would arise from it. On Earth, tropical rainforests were known for hosting the richest biodiversity.

After viewing the tropical rainforest, Sebastian's gaze shifted north. In the northernmost area of Imperium, a glacial snowfield had appeared. The temperature here was typically very low, often dropping below zero degrees, making it unsuitable for most life forms. This expanse of glaciers and snowfields had newly formed and held no known life. Its primary significance lay in enriching the geographical variety of Terra.

On the southern edge of Imperium, a vast mountain range had gradually formed. Originally a small remote forest nestled in the mountains, it had now transformed into an expansive mountain range.

Sebastian didn't need to think hard about naming this mountain range; the locals named it the Himalaya Mountain Range. The species within were abundant and undisturbed by outsiders, presenting a rich ecosystem.

The Red River, the tropical rainforest, the glacial snowfields, and the Himalaya Mountains were among the most remarkable changes on the 1st Continent after Terra advanced to Level 2. Places like the vast plains where the inhabitants of Imperium lived and lakes were also expanding. However, these were only superficial changes.

In areas not visible to the naked eye, changes were also occurring. For example, the qualitative improvement of the soil's fertility allowed plants and crops to grow more rapidly.

Additionally, in terms of the minerals needed for the Imperium's technological development, the storage capacity had steeply increased, especially concerning Starfall Iron. It went from decent reserves to nearly doubling.

The initial reserve of Vibranium was 100 tons, nearly all of which had been utilized to produce various kinds of weaponry. Now, it had surprisingly generated an extra 500 tons seemingly out of thin air. They no longer had to worry about dwindling Vibranium reserves.

"Hmm?" Sebastian suddenly realized that aside from these two extraordinary metals, another new metal had appeared.

Near a coal mine site, a miner found an unusually shaped stone after digging. It differed from standard coal or other stones. This miner promptly reported his extraordinary find.

The leader regarded this discovery with great importance. After conducting simple tests and failing to identify the material, he reported it to the research institute. However, during this time, most of the scientists at the Astra Militarum were on leave, leaving little attention paid to the matter.

Sebastian wasn't in a rush, so he shifted his gaze from the 1st Continent to the 2nd Continent. Here, significant changes were taking place. The area of land had more than tripled.

At the moment the planet successfully advanced, the giant beasts on the land seemed to sense something, collectively looking up at the sky. Their roars filled the air.

Even the land's overlord, Ghidorah, extended its heads and gazed around in confusion. In the darkness, it could sense the substantial change occurring in its surroundings. Most notably, its vitality seemed significantly enhanced.

In the wake of Terra's advancement, more and more gigantic creatures emerged. In the crypt below, the Skullcrawler race had produced several more newborns, and the entire colony rejoiced.

However, what they didn't expect was that further down in the crypt, Terra's advancement had led to the gradual manifestation of an even more terrifying creature.

Similar to the 1st Continent, the 2nd Continent's terrain was gradually forming its prototype. Due to the abundance of giant beasts residing here, the landscape exaggerated dramatically. Towering mountain peaks, miasma-filled swamps, dense jungles, eerie dark caves, these features were rarely seen in the 1st Continent.

Ghidorah, who ruled this land, couldn't help but feel restless. Because of this, the difficulty of maintaining its rule had increased.

Following Terra's advancement, of the additional 50 species, 10 were now present on the 2nd Continent, most of them of immense size. Deep within the jungles and swamps, an entirely new life was flourishing.
