Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1587: Chapter 898: Legion System

Gu Hang also considered whether opening this Legion Page was actually a loss?

After all, with the number fifty thousand, wouldn’t it suffice to collect just twenty-five original Saints Battle Groups?

In fact, the Alliance already had eighteen Saints Battle Groups before, not counting the extra battle group Gu Hang himself established with the Saints’ bloodline, the original number was nine.

Counting the fifteen in the Mercifat Star Domain, that makes a total of 24, already close to the upper limit.

But in reality, that’s not very feasible.

Gu Hang swallowed the Mercifat Star Domain whole, forcing the Saints Battle Groups to submit, which allowed them to bring back fourteen subgroups. Actually, these fourteen subgroups, reaching late stages, summed up to four to five thousand Interstellar Warriors at most, averaging about three hundred people per group.

If the Saints didn’t accept, these fourteen groups would rather be annihilated than join the Alliance.

If it weren’t for this one-shot deal where the Saints were collectively consumed, the current numbers wouldn’t have been reached.

Moreover, Gu Hang suspects that the total number of a single bloodline, since it can initiate a Legion Page by subduing initial groups, turning into fifty thousand, he estimates that simply collecting subgroups might also have this upper limit. Except, he hadn’t encountered it before.

Additionally, Gu Hang discovered another point.

In the Yadan Cosmos Domain, there’s an Alliance subgroup from the Saints named Holy Armor Iron Guard. The gene seeds they provide in the system aren’t from the Saints, but are labeled as ’Holy Armor Iron Guard’.

This situation isn’t new to Gu Hang.

Blood Shark has Blood Shark Seed, Phoenix has Phoenix Seed, and they aren’t ’Bat Seeds’ or ’Phoenix Seeds’.

Undoubtedly, they are indeed subsidiaries tied to the parent group. However, Gu Hang speculates that over time, due to unique experiences the battle groups encountered, their genetic seeds underwent some mutations, making them slightly different compared to the main group.

You can still see they resemble the original battle group; they are similar upon inspection too.

But they eventually developed distinct traits, leading to system recognition as independent entities.

Such seeds are not subject to the fifty thousand limit of the Legion interface.

Gu Hang even wonders if battle groups developed from these independent genetic seeds, reaching a certain magnitude, could also be acknowledged as a legion?

What’s the reason for being recognized as a legion?

For ordinary battle groups, it’s the subduing of initial groups.

So, can it be considered that developing a battle group from an independent seed to the level of an initial group, would suffice?

What are the conditions to develop into an initial group level?

The number of Interstellar Warriors cultivated from independent seeds? The current limit is two thousand, requiring a gradual expansion in scale through management?

It’s possible, but it’s likely to be slow.

Are there other conditions apart from this?

However, this matter is purely Gu Hang’s speculation and not necessarily true.

Excluding the independent seeds, there are actually three categories based on the seeds inherited from various legions.

Secondary, Legion, Glory.

This is also one of the benefits Gu Hang gained after opening the Legion Page.

Among the many battle groups the Alliance subdued before, those with gene seeds rated as ’secondary’ constitute at least half or even more.

These secondary seeds are most likely due to improper storage, or the inherent qualification of Interstellar Warriors tasked with cultivating genetic seeds was insufficient, or the simplest reason, they were poorly stored for too long… Various issues led to genetic seeds being somewhat degraded.

The proportion reaching 50% is quite exaggerated.

The Empire’s management system for genetic seeds, and the cultivation regime for Interstellar Warriors, has always been more defensive than developmental. They can’t do away with Interstellar Warriors’ power, so they need cultivation, although fearing they become too powerful and leading to rebellion becomes a major issue. The overall policy is a contradiction.

It was precisely in this environment that so many genetic seeds were kept for too long before being utilized. The selection was poor, and battle groups inheriting seeds ended up with secondary seeds.

However, generally speaking, within the Empire, there is no grade division for genetic seeds of Interstellar Warriors. Genetic seeds are crucial assets for battle groups and aren’t casually inspected, nor do they have quality levels.

It’s just that in Gu Hang’s Legion Page, this aspect is entirely visible.

The quality of genetic seeds does not directly determine an Interstellar Warrior’s level of power. Excellent seeds can still produce mediocre warriors; secondary seeds can still yield champions.

The primary factor deciding individual skill levels is still the individual’s talent and effort.

However, extending the sample to thousands of Interstellar Warriors, the quality effects of genetic seeds become much more evident.

It’s directly reflected in the fact that the training success rate for squad champions in secondary seed groups is only around 2% to 3%.

For Legion seeds, which haven’t experienced degradation and are theoretically the most common and plentiful seeds, the squad champion training success rate fluctuates between 5% to 10%.

This number compared to 5% to 15% for independent seeds shows independent seeds fluctuate more and have a higher upper limit, but the baseline is similar.

After the submission of the Saints battle groups and the opening of the Legion page, there was an exclusive gene seed exchange—higher grade Glory Seeds.

The total number constitutes one-tenth of the total limit for Saint Gene Seeds.

Gu Hang hasn’t tried the effect of these genetic seeds, but there is a real-world battle group for comparative observation—the various initial groups.

The greatest halo on initial groups is undoubtedly the battle group’s noble political status, legitimacy, and influence.

Secondly, it’s wealth, good equipment.

But besides this, the inherent strength of Interstellar Warriors is not to be underestimated.

The main reason is the superior transmission of their genetic seeds over millennia. At the time of division, only the best warriors stayed with the main group.

Among these initial groups, the proportion of squad champions encompasses 15% to 25%, varying.

Furthermore, the incidence of battle group champions is higher.

These five thousand Glory Seeds are also independent of the fifty thousand seed quota. The remarks on the interface explicitly state they constitute one-tenth of the legion quota.

And on the Legion interface, a new training method for Interstellar Warriors is marked, named: [Blessed Son].

Gu Hang is aware of this.

During the Legion era, the Glory Guard of the Saint Legion’s Son of God had the same nature as the Extreme Warrior’s [Ever Victorious Army].

Only those trained from Glory Seeds can be trained into [Blessed Son].

Each Blessed Son possesses power comparable to squad champions.

Most importantly, this training does not conflict with the series of trainings like veteran, sergeant, sergeant major, squad champion and can even be compounded!
