While Luo Fan was in seclusion, the outside world was far from peaceful.
Recently, because the Human Race had been constantly targeted by the strong experts of the three races, quite a few Immortals and Venerables had fallen.
And it was not only the three races targeting the Human Race.
After learning that the Human Race possessed the World-Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion, experts from other forces also vaguely targeted Human experts in cosmic secret realms and on extraterritorial battlefields.
After all, aside from the Ancestral God Sect, no other force in the universe wished to see another faction gain multiple Universe Masters or even a Universe Supreme.
They did not want the Human Race to become something like the Divine Eye Race, or even surpass it.
The Divine Eye Race was the hegemonic race of the First Reincarnation Era.
A True God's miniature universe can exist in the Universe Sea for three reincarnation eras.
After three reincarnation eras pass, if the cycle is not transcended and one does not become a Void True God, that True God's miniature universe will shatter and the race will perish.
Only by breaking through to the Void True God and transcending the cycle can a Sacred Land Universe be established so the race can continue existing.
The races that existed in the original universe two reincarnation eras ago were races of the First Reincarnation Era.
The current era Luo Fan lived in was called the Third Reincarnation Era.
The previous one was the Second Reincarnation Era.
The Divine Eye Race belonged to the First Reincarnation Era.
Because seven Universe Supremes were born within their race, they became the hegemonic race of the First Reincarnation Era.
If not for the Skeleton Race of the First Reincarnation Era also producing four Universe Supremes and barely resisting them, the First Reincarnation Era might have completely fallen under the control of the Divine Eye Race.
Now the Human Race was very likely to become a similar existence, which the other forces of the original universe did not want to see.
When one holds a sharp blade, the intent to kill naturally arises.
Once the Human Race possesses sufficient strength, it will inevitably seize territory from other races.
In the original universe, the larger the territory, the more geniuses are born.
Although ordinary people of the Human Race can now consume the World-Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion and become minor geniuses, talented individuals who take it may achieve even better effects and go much further.
Therefore territory remained extremely important to the Human Race.
Did the Human Race not want to expand territory?
No, it was unable to.
If the Human Race had the ability, it would absolutely expand madly.
For the Human Race, more geniuses are always better.
Even if Luo Fan can grant innate secret techniques in batches, geniuses with such techniques will display far greater talent and a much higher future limit than ordinary people.
Just like the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance.
Only a few species already made it terrifying.
It is one of the nine peak forces of the original universe.
Their greatest weakness is the extremely small population.
Starry Sky Behemoths reproduce with extreme difficulty.
Among the twelve peak bloodlines, reproduction sometimes even costs their lives.
All twelve peak bloodlines are World-Master-level bloodlines.
Nearly every one of them produces at least one Universe Master.
This shows how terrifying peak bloodlines are.
Yet the restriction on these peak and World-Master-level bloodlines is fertility.
For example, the Insect Race relies only on the Insect Queen race rather than multiple branches like the Human or Demon races, yet still became a peak force.
This shows the terrifying potential of a top race.
However, aside from resources and territory, the greatest limitation on the Insect Race is the fertility rate of the Insect Queen.
The Insect Queen has a very low reproduction rate.
This is a universal iron law: the stronger a lifeform is, the harder it is to produce offspring.
For example, human Domain-Lord-level bloodline branches also have small populations.
Because their bloodline is too strong, reproduction is difficult.
Even when offspring are born, the numbers are few.
Thus although peak races have excellent talent, due to their tiny population base their number of strong experts is similar to other peak forces.
The number of Universe Masters in the Insect Race is relatively small precisely because reproduction is difficult.
But the Human Race is different.
Humans rely not on bloodline but on potions.
This means the Human Race can maintain a terrifying fertility rate while still possessing massive numbers of peak-level bloodlines.
That is the most frightening aspect of the Human Race possessing the World-Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion.
Even if my talent after taking the potion is still inferior to an Insect Queen or the twelve peak bloodline Starry Sky Behemoths, my numbers are millions upon millions of times yours, far beyond that.
The Human and Demon races are among the most common races in the original universe.
They exist not only within their own territories but also in many other races' territories.
Some are even used as blood food.
Yet this shows the terrifying fertility of the Human Race.
The production cost of the World-Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion is not low for an individual.
But for a race, it is extremely cheap.
Originally a single bottle cost about ten Chaos Units.
Now, relying on countless resource planets and secret realms, countless human pharmacists cultivate its ingredients.
The cost has become terrifyingly low.
A bottle now costs less than three Chaos Units.
And this is only because Luo Fan has not submitted it for very long.
If time continues and more cheap cultivation methods are researched, the cost will fall further.
How terrifying is that?
How many twelve peak bloodline Starry Sky Behemoths appear in one era?
How many humans can take the potion in one era?
The gap is not hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of times.
It is measured in hundreds of millions.
Among so many geniuses who can at least become World Masters, how many Immortals will appear?
Among those Immortals, how many Venerables?
Finally, how many Universe Masters or even Universe Supremes?
That is what the other peak forces fear.
Otherwise, even if the Human Race produced ten or a hundred peak bloodlines, it would not matter.
True peak bloodlines can never have high fertility.
But humans possess peak bloodline talent and ordinary lifeform fertility simultaneously.
If time passes, could the other peak forces resist such a terrifying Human Race?
Therefore among the peak forces of the original universe, aside from the Human Race, only the territory-independent Ancestral God Sect and the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance have not targeted humanity.
The other five peak races, the Insect Race, Demon Race, Machine Race, Crystal Race, Prison Race, plus the Northern Frontier Alliance, all show signs of targeting humanity.
These six forces all require vast territory to reproduce.
If humans truly grow strong, they will inevitably strike them.
Naturally, the first targets would be the neighboring Demon, Insect, and Machine races.
Thus the three races united first to oppose humanity.
Although the Crystal Race, Prison Race, and Northern Frontier Alliance are farther away, they understand the principle that once the lips are gone the teeth grow cold.
If humans seize the three races' territories, they will have the power to expand further.
They would be next.
This is why they secretly cooperate against humanity.
They continuously eliminate the Human Race's middle-tier forces.
This greatly increases the difficulty of training for these mid-tier experts.
Training should involve opponents of similar level, not immediate group sieges.
Otherwise it has no training effect and extremely high mortality.
Without training grounds, human geniuses with World-Master-level bloodlines cannot properly train.
Without training, growth slows greatly.
Why does the Virtual Universe Company require core geniuses to train in cosmic secret realms or extraterritorial battlefields after reaching World Master level?
Because countless eras of experience taught human leadership that without training it is difficult to become strong.
This is the main reason those peak forces act.
Furthermore, because human Immortals and Venerables keep being killed, Human Universe Masters must resurrect them.
As a result, they cannot go explore the Universe Sea.
Without exploration, it is difficult to obtain inheritances and supreme treasures of ancient civilizations.
For Universe Masters, the path ahead is almost nonexistent.
Unlike lower realms, which have systematic inheritance from ordinary life to Universe Master.
From Universe Master to Universe Supreme, they must explore alone.
Only the two Sacred Land Universes in the Universe Sea possess some inheritances.
How important are inheritances?
The Divine Eye Race of the First Reincarnation Era produced so many Universe Supremes precisely because they obtained part of an ancient civilization inheritance, possibly from the Origin Continent.
They also possess a combined attack secret technique allowing seven True Gods to strike together with tenth-rank power.
However, the inheritance is incomplete.
Otherwise they would have more True Gods, perhaps even Void True Gods.
This is why Universe Masters and Universe Supremes like exploring the Universe Sea.
Not only for treasures, but more importantly for ancient civilization inheritances.
