When looking at the endless starry sky, with planets shining with dazzling light, both the man in blue and the middle-aged man in black were absent-minded. According to rumors, such an amazing sight could only occur by completing the Eternal Level Promotion Task. It seemed as though the entire starry sky was congratulating someone.
"Someone completed the Eternal Level task!" After a long time, the man in blue sighed.
As Level 6 Planet Masters, each of them was a great genius of their generation; they were on par with Prince Yeattine. They were aware of the dreadful difficulty of the mission; it wasn't something anyone could accomplish.
"Back then, the geniuses of our generation who were much more talented than I challenged this difficulty, and in the end, they all fell without exception." The middle-aged man in black's eyes flashed with a hint of memory as he said, "Do you still remember the Holy Son of the Holy Empire from that time?"
"It is impossible to forget." The man in blue nodded.
"That Holy Son was extremely talented back then; he overshadowed us. His planet's diameter even reached over 930 kilometers." The middle-aged man in black sighed and continued, "With everyone's hope resting on him, he went to challenge the Eternal Level, and the result..."
"He still failed." The man in blue interjected, "He is the strongest I have ever seen among Level 1 Planet Masters."
"To prepare for the Eternal Level difficulty, this Holy Son and the Holy Empire behind him spared no effort, even..." The middle-aged man in black shook his head helplessly and said, "Even some Planet Masters who had just entered Level 2 were not his opponents. But in the end, he still failed. The defeat was miserable..."
The man in blue also showed a hint of reminiscence and said, "I was there."
"After the Holy Son failed in his promotion mission, he once talked to us about what happened. Even with the strength of the planet he built, the mission was perilous. It was a complete defeat. He stated that, with his strength, there was still a long way to go to complete the task."
"It's a pity..." Both of them sighed.
Unable to complete the promotion task, even a person with such amazing talent as the Holy Son could only remain at the main realm of Level 1 for life. Compared to a Level 2 Planet Master, one of the significant differences was life expectancy. The life expectancy of a Level 1 Planet Master and ordinary people was not much different.
As top geniuses of their era, the man in blue and the middle-aged man in black had both lived for thousands of years. However, the Holy Son had turned to dust.
"That was after this," the black-clothed middle-aged man smiled and said, "All the powers, regardless of whether they come from various academies, dynasties, or leading groups, dare not let the geniuses under their wing attempt this impossible difficulty again. The phrase 'Never choose the Eternal Level difficulty' has become a lasting phrase, and many powerful entities believe that this difficulty is insurmountable."
"Hahahaha, but no one expected..." The middle-aged man in black looked at the devastated starry sky illuminated by the planets and laughed, saying, "In this era, a genius has emerged that is even more terrifying than that Holy Son, who has completed this impossible difficulty."
"You and I have witnessed this miracle with our own eyes." The man in blue chuckled and said, "I am now curious about this genius. Which one is it? You should know more about this than I do."
"Don't look at me, although I have stayed in the family for a long time, but..." The middle-aged man in black shook his head and said, "I've never heard of such a terrifying genius. This year, there are many talented geniuses among this batch of Level 1 Planet Masters, but none can surpass that Holy Son and challenge the difficulty. No matter who it is, if their growth is smooth..."
The man in blue laughed: "Another great entity is going to be born."
"That's still early. This genius, although he passed the Eternal Level difficulty, is only a Level 2 Planet Master; he is still far from our realm, but..." The middle-aged man in black was both emotional and somewhat expectant: "His future is indeed limitless."

Feuer Empire.
Outside an enormous palace, a large group of people in black stood. In front of them were several men wearing bright yellow royal robes, each exuding a powerful aura.
The leader was a tall man, the emperor of the current generation of the Feuer Empire. Those behind him were also the most powerful figures in the imperial family.
As elsewhere, during the planet promotion, it was conducted uniformly. This batch, hailing from the Feuer Empire, consisted of the most talented geniuses. As a power whose strength could rival and even surpass the best academies, they spared no effort in developing their genius.
This year's cohort was particularly impressive, with over 300 promotions.
Among them, over 50 had planets with diameters exceeding 850 kilometers. Many powerful masters were greatly looking forward to it, especially since there was the Feuer Empire's finest, Prince Sigismund, who attracted significant attention.
After about half an hour, the palace slowly opened. A group of this year's examinees exited, and at the head of the group was a young man with a straight posture and striking looks—none other than Prince Sigismund.
Immediately, the Emperor and his entourage welcomed him, asking, "How did it go, Sigismund?"
"Not to be outdone, I passed the Great Mythical Level difficulty by a fluke," Sigismund said modestly.
"Good! Hahaha..." The Emperor laughed heartily.
The faces of those behind him overflowed with joy, as if they had witnessed the rise of another Level 6 Planet Master. The difference between a First-Class power and an ordinary power was a Level 6 Planet Master. And for the divisions of strength among First-Class forces, the primary consideration was who held the most Level 6 Planet Masters.
However, it wasn't easy to create a Level 6 Planet Master. The Feuer Empire had only three Level 6 Planet Masters over many years. If they could produce one more, it could significantly extend the power's lifespan, at least a few thousand years.
In general, to become a Level 6 Planet Master, passing the Legendary level difficulty is the minimum, while the chances of success at the Mythical Level are even higher.
Historically, the Mythical Level was the highest difficulty that a Planet Master could successfully challenge, but it came with risks, especially for the Great Mythical Level; there was no guarantee of safety. Even some of the era-defining geniuses had planets with diameters over 900 kilometers, yet many faced failures.
"Great Mythical Level..." A highly senior royal member spoke up, "There aren't many in the entire Federation. Our Dynasty is about to produce another..."
"Hmm?" At that moment, someone suddenly noticed the stars in the sky flickering.
Others quickly noticed that something was amiss and looked up. Observing the sky, every star was lighting up simultaneously. Upon that river of stars, there seemed to be a chanting voice—ethereal and distant.
"This..."
"This is..." Observing this unprecedented spectacle, even the Emperor's eyes widened in astonishment, as did the powerful Planet Masters around him. It felt like witnessing something incredible.
"Impossible! How could such a genius appear in this era?!" The Emperor shook his head fervently.
"Father, what is this?" Prince Sigismund asked, somewhat surprised and curious.
"According to rumors, when a Planet Master completes the Eternal Level difficulty, a spectacle like this will occur to congratulate them," the old uncle sighed as he explained.
"Someone completed the Eternal Level difficulty!?" There was a hint of shock on Prince Sigismund's calm face.

In a region far from the Feuer Empire...
On a high mountain with an extraordinarily unique atmosphere sat a sect known as the Templar Order. This was an incredibly powerful group, stronger than the Feuer Empire and Super-Tier Academy. Even when looking at all the groups within the Federation, it ranked among the top entities.
At this time, on the mountain of the Templar Order, outside the ancient building, a dozen men and women with imposing demeanors stood. If outsiders were present, they would be astonished to discover that half of these individuals were Level 6 Planet Masters, while the others were mostly at the peak of Level 5. This showcased the immense depth of the Templar Order.
They gathered here today to await the results of the Templar Order's planetary advancement test. Among the most talented geniuses, this generation promised remarkable potential, with the upper limit of planet diameters approaching 930 kilometers, and the civilizations they created equally formidable, reminding others of the Holy Son of the Holy Empire from a few millennia ago.
"I hope he doesn't go for the Eternal Level difficulty," a middle-aged woman said.
"He shouldn't," the silver-haired elder next to her replied confidently. "He has great insight and is quite capable of self-recognition, so he won't make such an unwise move."
"Yes," another elder nodded, "He once referred to the deeds of that Holy Son and admitted that he still needed to improve, and it would be impossible to challenge the Eternal Level difficulty."
The others nodded slightly in relief, but worry lingered in their eyes. History showed that such incidents were not uncommon, particularly among talented geniuses. Before the examination, they solemnly promised that they absolutely would not choose the Eternal Level difficulty. But in reality, the allure of that challenge had long been engraved in their minds; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many geniuses failing each year.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, the door of the ancient building opened, and a young man dressed in white emerged. This ancient building had been specially prepared for him to facilitate his passage through the planet advancement test. The gathered individuals subdued their impatience and waited for the white-clothed youth to step down.
Only then did the middle-aged woman speak up and ask, "Dao Sect, did you choose the Great Mythical Level difficulty?"
The others looked at him, hope shining in their eyes.
"Naturally," the white-clothed youth responded with a faint smile. "And I finished with flying colors."
"Good! Good!" The silver-haired elder was elated.
The Great Mythical Level difficulty was a significant accomplishment, even for Level 6 Planet Masters, with not many passing in past years. The probability of failure remained quite high.
"Him passing the Great Mythical Level Difficulty, we can finally hold our heads high," another elder chimed in, smiling as well.
"I wonder what the results of the other genius tests are?" The white-clothed youth asked, though he was the top genius of the Templar Order, he knew others in different sects could still rival him.
"The results haven't been received yet, but..."
