Chapter 300: Chapter 2: Selling the Star Technique

A little over ten minutes later, Guo Liangcai took out a new set of materials, ready to begin sharing the paid information.

During those ten-odd minutes, fewer than ten lords had left the activity room. Lin Yu guessed they were probably the children of powerful families or second-generation elites who already knew this information. ’How else could they resist the gossip?’ he thought. ’I certainly couldn’t. Besides, 700 points wasn’t much—not even loose change.’

"Before I discuss this secret information, we will first offer you another piece of it."

"Does anyone know why the flow of time in your territories is different from our home planet’s during the rest period?"

"No!!!" came the unanimous reply. Lin Yu suspected that Guo Liangcai on the stage must have been a teacher in a past life. ’This briefing was quickly turning into a classroom lecture.’

"And it’s right that you don’t know!"

"This is because your territories are not currently in the same plane of existence as our planet. In other words, your territories are not within our cosmos."

"To make things easier to explain, from now on, we will refer to our cosmos as the Main Cosmos."

"When you are inside your territory, the competition organizers use the connection between your inner spirituality and the Main Cosmos to link to your territory. At this time, the time within your territory is synchronized with the Main Cosmos."

"Simultaneously, the competition pulls your territory toward the Main Cosmos."

"When you return to the Main Cosmos, your territory continues to approach the Main Cosmos due to inertia."

"At this point, since the connection is broken, the flow of time changes. During your short, one-month rest period, your territory crosses a vast distance."

"When your territory’s speed drops to zero and it stops approaching the Main Cosmos, that is when you re-enter the competition."

"The first and second stages of the competition both involve the organizers pulling your territories closer to the Main Cosmos."

"The third stage is a bit different. By this point, your territories are more or less just outside the Main Cosmos, preparing to enter it."

"However, pulling a territory from outside the Main Cosmos into it is no easy task."

"This is where your spirituality must provide powerful support, allowing the organizers to apply greater force. It’s a joint effort from the inside and out, enabling your territories to break through the Main Cosmos’s barrier and enter."

"The most convenient way to make your spirituality erupt with greater energy is through continuous warfare."

"When all of you are in a state of war, racking your brains for ways to defeat your enemies, your spirituality will operate at a continuous high intensity. This provides the organizers with clear anchor points so their power isn’t wasted or scattered in useless directions."

"Therefore, the duration of the third stage is not fixed. If the war is fought fiercely and brutally, and everyone participates actively, then it can end quickly."

"Otherwise, it will drag on for a very long time."

"So, when the time comes, don’t just think about saving your own skin. If the scale of the war is too small and participation is too low, the anchor points will be unclear. Pulling your territories into the Main Cosmos would then require an immense amount of energy, and the organizers might just give up on your territories."

"In that case, you would be stuck in your territories forever. They would become fragments of a plane, adrift outside the Main Cosmos, eventually getting lost in the vast expanse of space."

"So, good luck, everyone!"

"Also, without permission, you will be unable to speak of this information in the outside world—not even to other lords. Don’t even try. I’d rather not have to bring an Extraordinary Team to pay you a visit."

After his speech, the audience was silent for a long time. No one had expected this to be the inside story of the lord competition.

’I wonder how exactly the competition organizers enabled everyone to establish territories outside the Main Cosmos,’ Lin Yu mused. ’It must have something to do with the Territory Cores.’

"So, by participating in the lord competition, we’re contributing to the Main Cosmos, right?"

"Then why are the eliminated lords so miserable?" someone asked Guo Liangcai.

"Miserable? Take a look around. Which participant who played by the rules wasn’t rolling in money after being eliminated? Quite a few even became Extraordinary Beings."

"You all should have entered the Cosmic Arena during the second stage, right? A few of you might have even reached the second floor and seen the people there. Every single one of them is an Extraordinary Being."

"Before the competition, you probably heard all sorts of nasty rumors about how miserable the eliminated lords are. That’s because only the miserable ones get reported on."

"The ones who do well, nobody reports on them, and they don’t want to be reported on. Add to that the deliberate manipulation by certain people with ulterior motives, and that’s why the average person might think that being eliminated from the lord competition comes with severe consequences."

His words left the questioner speechless. Lin Yu mentally agreed with him. ’With my current ’weakling’ strength (compared to Phantom and the others), I could still find some small place to lord over if I wanted to.’

By the Cosmic Arena’s ranking system, he was now considered a Tier 2 expert.

"Sir, I have a question. If one obtains a manual to cultivate into an Extraordinary Being, how does that help the territory? Can it become a legendary Extraordinary Territory?"

Another voice directed a question to Guo Liangcai.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yu looked over and saw that the person asking was Li Hua.
