"How is it?" Teacher Vara said with a smile, teasing the stern middle-aged man.
"The famous Lei Yan, did you misjudge today?"
"Hmph!" The stern middle-aged man glanced at the smiling Teacher Vara.
"Consider yourself lucky. You actually encountered such a genius who, born for only a year, simultaneously comprehended the Law of Wood and the Law of Space, and has a profound comprehension."
"A genius with such top-level Law Comprehension talent is rare in a small place like our Jia 312 Academy, appearing only once in a long time. I didn't expect you to encounter one."
"Hahaha, I'm extremely happy that you, the usually serious Lei Yan, are at a loss for words."
Teacher Vara seemed exceptionally cheerful, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
The lean old man in a light blue robe was deep in thought.
"Vara, a genius like Gǔ Fēi, who simultaneously comprehended the Law of Wood and the Law of Space, fits your path very well. Are you planning to formally take him as your disciple?"
"I do plan to teach him well, but taking him as a disciple is out of the question."
Teacher Vara became serious, "Dean, you know me. Compared to teaching students, I prefer to be a warrior, fighting on the battlefield."
"Before, my divine body was severely injured in the God-Demon Battlefield, so I had to leave the battlefield to recuperate and came to the academy to serve as a Teacher."
"Now that a long time has passed, my divine body has basically recovered. After a while, I plan to leave the academy and go to the God-Demon Battlefield again."
"The God-Demon Battlefield is extremely dangerous. Although you are a middle-level God (that is, a marshal-level Immortal Lord), going there is just a warrior whose life and death are uncertain. Last time you were able to return alive, going again might not guarantee your life."
The Dean couldn't help but persuade.
"Serving as a Teacher in the academy, you can avoid the mandatory conscription for the God-Demon Battlefield for a long time. Why proactively go there?"
"Dean, no need to persuade me, my mind is made up."
"Staying here is certainly comfortable and can preserve my life for a long time, but my progress is slow. I don't know how long it will take to reach a high-level God (that is, an original universe Immortal King immortal), let alone become a Universe Master."
"Although the God-Demon Battlefield is dangerous, only there do I have a sliver of possibility to achieve the rank of Your Excellency!"
Teacher Vara answered firmly.
Hearing this, the Dean and the stern middle-aged man fell silent.
Once upon a time, they were also young geniuses in their prime, moving forward relentlessly, unstoppable.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to break through to immortal god and become marshal-level immortal.
But now, the two of them are afraid of the dangers of the God-Demon Battlefield and choose to be teachers in a kindergarten academy to avoid the mandatory conscription for a period of time.
In the East Emperor Holy Land Universe, for a World Master to break through to immortal is not as simple as naturally breaking through just by comprehending any lower law in the original universe.
This is because the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's origin is limited, and its capacity to accommodate powerhouses is also limited.
Like the dongdi holy land, it has existed for an extremely long time and has complete inheritance and cultivation. Even if ten Universe Masters are born in one reincarnation era, after so many reincarnation eras, there would likely be over ten thousand Universe Masters!
But the reality is that there are only a few hundred Universe Masters... Why is this?
It is because the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's capacity is not enough!
It's like a piece of land, there's a limit to how many plants can be grown. If there are too many plants, the land cannot bear it.
The number of "universe lords" that a miniature universe can bear is limited... Every Universe Master is a huge burden on the miniature universe. Once a certain limit is reached, no more can be added, otherwise it will cause harm to the universe itself.
The East Emperor Holy Land Universe's origin is certainly much stronger than the origin of a True God's miniature universe, but it cannot infinitely accommodate powerhouses.
Therefore...
Some universe venerables whose Law Comprehension is already complete and can enter the "Universe Master ranks" at any time, are unable to obtain even a trace of divine power supply from the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's origin and cannot improve or break through at all!
They are forced to be stuck in the "universe venerable ranks" and are called quasi-Universe Masters.
Once other Universe Masters of their race fall while venturing in the cosmos sea, reducing the pressure on the East Emperor Holy Land Universe and freeing up some spots, some of the more outstanding ones among them will be selected and quickly break through to become Universe Masters!
Similarly, there are also many World Masters in the dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe who have long since comprehended the lower origin laws but are stuck and unable to break through because they cannot receive the infusion of divine power from the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's origin.
Breaking through to immortal here is not like in the original universe, where divine power is infused from the vast, majestic, and seemingly infinite ocean of original universe origin laws, but rather from the weak and limited East Emperor Holy Land Universe origin's divine power infusion.
Although the burden that immortal place on the East Emperor Holy Land Universe is far less than that of Universe Masters, their numbers are also large. Moreover—
For the high and mighty upper echelons of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe, do they really need that many immortal?
Only Universe Masters can go out into the cosmos sea to venture, explore the three great absolute lands, and seize treasures and materials to contribute to the East Emperor Holy Land Universe.
As for immortal god, they cannot even withstand the chaotic airflow that permeates the cosmos sea and can only stay in the East Emperor Holy Land Universe. To those great existences, they are just burdens that occupy the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's capacity.
In their view, the only meaning of the existence of immortal is to give birth to universe venerables from them, and then give birth to Universe Masters from universe venerables.
Therefore, only immortal who have the possibility of becoming universe venerables have meaning in existence.
As for those World Masters who have no possibility of achieving the rank of universe venerable, they are not qualified to break through to immortal, let alone occupy the precious East Emperor Holy Land Universe's capacity.
Such World Masters who have comprehended the lower origin laws but cannot break through are called demigods and are ubiquitous in the East Emperor Holy Land Universe.
Dying of old age after their lifespan runs out is the fate of most of them.
Only true geniuses, at least those with a sliver of possibility to become a venerable, who are venerable-level seeds, are allowed to break through and become immortal god, obtaining the divine power infusion from the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's origin.
Such World Master level peerless geniuses, during their World Master period, often lay an extremely profound foundation in the Law of Space or the Law of Time, achieving extraordinary mastery in the higher laws.
Once they break through, many of them directly become marshal-level immortal, at the very least they are at the peak of ordinary immortal, close to the marshal level.
As long as they undergo a certain period of accumulation and tempering, each of them is a powerhouse among marshal-level immortal.
This is also why, in the entire Jia 312 Academy, only the three of them are marshal-level Immortal Lord, while other teachers are just World Masters, and there isn't even one ordinary immortal god teacher.
Even in the entire dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe, except for some newly broken through immortal, there are almost no immortal god below the marshal level.
And becoming immortal, although having infinite lifespan, does not mean that one can enjoy eternal life in the East Emperor Holy Land Universe.
Again, the East Emperor Holy Land Universe is not the original universe, its capacity is limited.
Having a sliver of possibility to become a universe venerable is just a sliver of possibility, it doesn't mean there is definitely a chance to achieve the rank of universe venerable.
Many immortal, after one reincarnation era, two reincarnation eras... several reincarnation eras have passed and they still haven't become universe venerables.
These ancient immortal god who cannot make progress for a long time are also considered waste that occupies the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's capacity in the eyes of the upper echelons and have no need to live.
Therefore, the bloody and cruel God-Demon Battlefield came into being under the will of the upper echelons.
