Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1399

Sylas' expression didn't change from start to finish. Even when he heard about the potential highest reward, he didn't react much at all. It was like he wasn't tempted in the slightest.

And that was precisely because he wasn't.

"Originally, there should have been many years between now and then, time enough for many of you to increase your strengths by another Tier at the very least.

"Unfortunately, as things stand now, there is at most three years between now and when the time will come to leave.

"This meeting has been called with the Warlords and their most promising disciples because all of you will be our best representatives. The Core Sanctum has decided that all of you will receive the best nurturing possible over these coming years. We will do our best to nurture you to the greatest extent.

"However, the Sanctum isn't a place that forges greenhouse flowers. We are warriors, and because of that, the best way to temper you all—even if it means risking your life and death—is true battle.

"With the turmoil the Sector and its surrounding neighbors are in, there is no better time than now to do exactly this."

There was a flash and flicker in the 713th Whale Warlord's eyes, the oppressive force of suction coming from her only becoming more domineering.

"There are 100 Sanctums under our Emperor Sanctum. Ours is ranked 73rd. This is why we are officially titled the Beast Warlord Sanctum 073. We are not quite middle of the pack, but our performance can't be said to be the worst either.

"I am sure that none of you are happy with this ranking, and I can only apologize on behalf of myself and the others of our generation that we did not perform up to the standards you hope for us.

"Even so, I must be very honest with you all. There is a significant gap in strength for even 10 rankings. I'm sure that the Bat Lineage, formerly of the 65th Sanctum, can attest to this."

Several eyes narrowed.

Although Zolte was obviously not a member of the Bat Lineage, the strength of the likes of Urolius, Magnus, and even Bellarouse went without saying.

If that was the standard of the Bat Lineage of the 65th Sanctum, how much more powerful were their Whale, Serpent, Ape, and Lion Lineages?

And if there was such a significant gap in strength for just a mere 10 rankings, what about 20? 30? How strong were the top 10 rankings? The top five? The top one?

And how powerful was the Emperor Sanctum to stand above them all and force them to squabble for resources like scurrying rats?

"With this in mind, the Sanctum will be entering a new, but acute era. The Warlords have set up a Merit Leaderboard. Accumulate War Points and you will be able to exchange for rare resources not normally available in the markets.

"During this time, even we, as your masters, won't be allowed to hand you resources for free. Anything you want, you must fight for.
