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

At that time, the Imperium had only four academies: Shujin Academy, Winterhold College, Cerasus Academy, and Aesculapius Medical University. To meet the needs of a larger population, the Imperium built numerous universities. The world was not the same as Earth. The institutes adopted the policy of lenient entry and strict exit, which meant it was not difficult to enter, but difficult to graduate.
"If the university were run like this on Earth, I could have become a scientist," Sebastian couldn't help but complain.
But he also knew that such a system was unrealistic for Earth; the gap between the population and ethos would be significant. The most important factor was the quality of the individual; the Imperium operated just like any student with average grades in school on Earth.
As time passed, not only education but also other aspects of the Imperium were gradually changing. More scientists were emerging, but some older individuals had also begun to pass away.
When Elizabeth was 68 years old, Simon, a military strategist who had not been in good health, died from illness. He was the first person from Elizabeth's generation to pass away.
When Elizabeth was nearly 70 years old, Gaspard, the junior general who had captured Abel alive, passed away in a few days after an accidental fall. Before he died, Elizabeth personally visited him and posthumously promoted him to Major General.
The number of servicepeople and scientists who had followed Elizabeth since the early years continued to decrease. The passage of time left people feeling helpless.
At the front of the Royal Tomb mountain range, a monument symbolizing the graves of all those who had died in battle was erected. Servicepeople and scientists who participated in the battles could have their names inscribed there after death.
As the people around them continued to fade, Elizabeth, Rommel, and others began to contemplate their futures in the Astra Militarum. Many were now aware of a higher existence beyond this planet that was secretly guiding its development, especially after the promotion of Greater Terra, which further convinced many scientists of this reality.
Sebastian watched with interest but did not interfere. He wanted to see how these individuals would address the issues surrounding Elizabeth. Such matters became more complex when the factors involved were not yet clear to them. They discussed it for a long time, but arrived at no resolutions.
Sebastian was not in a hurry. When he detached himself from the Awakening Space, he noticed an unanswered communication. He activated it and discovered it was from Clifford.
Sebastian considered the message and replied. A few moments later, Clifford's face appeared on the screen.
"You just called me. What's the matter?" Sebastian asked.
"It's nothing very important," Clifford smiled and said. "First of all, congratulations on becoming the strongest freshman in our class. Secondly, I have news to share!"
"What news?" Sebastian blinked.
"Sebastian, you should be working on building a whole new species, right?" Clifford asked.
"Pretty much. You guys should be as well," Sebastian replied.
"We don't have a clue yet," a look of distress crossed Clifford's face. "Level 2 planets are not quite the same as Level 1. The ecological stability is higher, and the supernatural species created don't require such meticulous care. The most direct method is to buy a supernatural species, seal it, and establish it. This way, once it's done, it saves time and effort. We're all planning to do this, what about you, Sebastian?"
"Probably the same as you guys," Sebastian smiled.
The approach Clifford described was indeed straightforward; however, the problem was that not everyone could afford it. Buying supernatural species would require a significant expense. Creating new species on the planet would demand even more time and effort, and there was no guarantee regarding the characteristics of the species created. Nevertheless, in terms of potential, species built by the planet itself were better.
Both approaches had pros and cons; it depended on the planet master's respective choice. Historically, both methods had been employed, but the key was to assess the compatibility of the new species with the original supernatural species. The higher the degree of fit, the more suitable it was, resulting in better fighting power in the future.
"Buying a new species through the school mall isn't suitable," Clifford smiled. "That's why I contacted you. The Planet Auction organized by the Planet Association is happening in three days. This auction is the biggest one each year, featuring not only many precious resources but also some advanced supernatural species. Otwin, Terrell, and I are planning to go and see what's available. Sebastian, do you want to join us?"
"The Planet Auction?" Sebastian had heard of it. It was an annual event of considerable scale, sometimes even attracting the presence of a Level 6 Master.
"There should be original creatures at this auction, right?" Sebastian asked.
"Original creatures?" Clifford was briefly surprised, then said, "You're interested in that? They'll be there. Many powerful masters enjoy collecting these original creatures."
"Then add me to the list," Sebastian said. A new species for the 3rd Continent needed to be created as soon as possible.
"Good," Clifford exclaimed joyfully. Then he recalled something and added, "By the way, Sebastian, did you know that the new edition of the Genius Ranking has been released?"
"The Genius Ranking?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
