[In this vast world, there were quite a few descendants of truly elite races or individuals with extraordinary talent who reached Sovereign level before the age of twenty.]
Girls: So in the end, we're all good-for-nothings.
[A true genius must reach Earth Sovereign Stage before thirty, only then could they aim for the hundred-year Heavenly Sovereign Stage and continue advancing. The Heavenly Sovereign Stage still had three stages.]
…
Girls: This world is truly terrifying.
…
[This highlights the importance of platform. For descendants of Ancient clans on the Battle Qi Continent, cultivation is far easier than for descendants of small families in Wu Tan City. Cultivators from the three great families of Wu Tan City spend their entire lives aiming for the Dou Grandmaster realm and then Dou Spirit.]
…
Girls: Indeed, platform is extremely important.
…
[In the Jia Ma Empire, even Dou Emperor experts could be counted on one hand.]
[But in ancient clans, even Dou Emperor experts didn't qualify as gatekeepers. This was no joke—it was fact.]
[Ancient Clans didn't take the Central Plains seriously, the powerful forces of the Central Plains didn't take anything outside the Central Plains seriously, first-rate and second-rate forces didn't take each other seriously, and naturally the powerful forces of the Great Thousand World didn't take lower dimensions seriously.]
[Dou God were comparable to Heaven Sovereigns Stage, but in the Great Thousand World they were actually only on par with Sovereigns State. It might sound exaggerated, but upon careful thought it made sense.]
[For a powerful Dou Emperor to rise in the Jia Ma Empire, one needed exceptional talent, luck, and the support of a strong faction.]
[In the major Ancient clans, as long as one had sufficient talent, becoming Dou Emperor was only a matter of time—Dou Ancestor was merely the entry point.]
[Lower dimensions were endlessly vast yet insignificant in the eyes of the various Ancient Clans—just like how the Jia Ma Empire appeared in the eyes of the major Ancient Clans.]
[In this vast world, to reach the Sovereign Realm one must pass through the three minor tribulations of the Sovereign Realm. The first is the body tribulation, which involves strengthening the physical body. The second is the spiritual power tribulation, which involves strengthening spiritual power. The third is the divine soul tribulation, which involves strengthening the divine soul. These three trials are the only path to enter the Sovereign Realm and forge a Sovereign body.]
[If a powerful being from a lower dimension travels to the Great Thousand Domains, they must go through this process if they wish to go far.]]
[From the perspective of life level, Dou God are equivalent to Heaven Sovereigns. However, a Dou God who has just arrived in the Great Thousand World has not yet completed spiritual energy assimilation nor experienced the three minor trials of a Sovereign Being. Therefore, they might not even be able to defeat a fourth-rank Sovereign or higher.]
[If a lower-dimensional genius is fortunate enough to receive help from a senior expert, quickly completes spiritual energy assimilation, and overcomes the three minor trials of a Sovereign Being, they can instantly unleash combat power comparable to a fifth-rank Sovereign Being.]
[As long as they don't fall midway, reaching the Earth Sovereign Realm within ten years will be no problem. It will be easy for them to become stronger than ordinary Earth Sovereigns.
[In the later stages of overcoming the three minor trials of the Sovereign Realm, trials of body, mind, and cultivation are required. I have already begun laying the foundation on the Battle Qi Continent.]

Having finished writing up to this point, Xiao Ting temporarily put down his pen, giving the people who could read the Journal some time to kill.
Now that he possessed the Thunder Flame Immortal Body, he naturally wanted to write about the vast world above the Battle Qi Continent. He wanted to broaden the horizons of the Journal owners and let them know that becoming Dou God was merely a new starting point.
At the same time, it was also a way to make empty promises to them, convey that they were valuable investment targets, and not forget to get closer to them.
These people would come and reveal to him that they could see the contents of the Journal, and he would accept it and engage in mutual understanding.
Of course, the premise for him writing this was that he was confident the copy owners could not harm him and could only become friends with him.
Medusa and Yun Yun were examples. With Xun Er present, she could probably suppress countless people in the shadows.
"However, your investment will not result in losses. At least I have no intention of reneging on investments after I succeed."
"I cannot guarantee that I can repay every investor a hundredfold with gratitude, but I will definitely repay you many times over."
Xiao Ting's eyes sparkled. He had decided to let the girls support him!
…
At this moment, the girls who owned the copies were indeed unsettled. After a brief silence, they began a heated discussion.
[Feng Qing Er]: In other words, our Beast Clan still has an advantage.
[Tang Huo Er]: I can't say for sure. The calculation method in Beast might be different. You probably value bloodline more, right?
[Xun Er]: When you have time, ask Brother Xiao Ting.
[Zi Yan]: Heavenly Silkworm Potato is really bad at naming things.
Girls: ?
[Zi Yan]: You're all from the "eh—" generation.
Three girls: "… "
Don't say anything more.
[Cao Ying]: You're really a cunning little devil.
[Zi Yan]: You're only realizing it now? I've always been like this.
[Ye Xin Lan]: If Brother Xiao Ting wants to use our family's Sun Fire Ancient Altar, he'll have to wait until he come to me. Besides, I'm still young.
[Zi Yan]: Little sister, if you're slow now, you'll be slow forever. You should hurry up and get stronger, otherwise when we go to the Great Thousand World you won't be able to keep up.
[Ye Xin Lan]: In that case, I'll obediently go to Jia Nan Academy to study.
[Yao Ling]: Huo Zhi, I heard the Burning Heaven Glazed Body left by your clan's Flame Emperor is very powerful. Can you exchange it?
[Huo Zhi]: Burning Heaven Glazed Body is only suitable for fire-attribute cultivators. You meet the conditions, but this is a high-level Heaven-rank body refinement method left by a Dou God. It might even contain the method to break through to God rank. What can you offer in exchange?
[Yao Ling]: Once I can refine ninth-grade pills, I'll forge a ninth-grade Bodhisattva Pill for you. It can raise your Dou God bloodline to at least seventh grade. If your Red Lotus Karmic Flame Body is truly excellent, eighth grade won't be difficult, and ninth grade might even be possible.
[Huo Zhi]: Very tempting, but I'm still only a Dou Venerate, so I can only cultivate the quasi-Heaven-rank. When the time comes I'll teach you that part, and you can exchange the remaining Heaven-rank for pills.
[Yao Ling]: Indeed. With my talent, if I cultivate Burning Heaven Glazed Body to quasi-Heaven rank, my cultivation will definitely reach Half-Saint level and I'll be able to refine ninth-grade pills.
[Huo Zhi]: Your bloodline is special. Help me cultivate my soul domain.
[Yao Ling]: That's a different price.
[Cao Ying]: It's really great to have a rich cultural heritage.
[Tang Huo Er]: Indeed. I know what I should do, but I don't have the ability.
[Yun Yun]: I'm so envious. Shall we all work together to temper essence, energy, and spirit in preparation for the journey to the Great Thousand World?
[Cai Lin]: I don't need that. I'm a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Xiao Ting will turn me into a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Then I'll definitely become a great existence in the Great Thousand World.
[Little Fairy Doctor]: I don't need it. Once I obtain the Ghostly Poison Flame and the Woeful Poison Body, I'll just follow the path Xiao Ting prepared for me.
[Qing Lin]: I don't need it either. I have the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and the Ancient Heaven Serpent bloodline. I'll follow Young Master's instructions.
[Xun Er]: I don't need it either. I can strengthen my body by cultivating the Flame Mantra. Brother Xiao Ting said it's related to the Great Thousand World.
[Yun Yun]: Am I the only good-for-nothing?! No—I need to work hard with ambition.
…
At the same time, Xiao Ting, who sensed that time was running out, left one final sentence.
