Before an incense stick could burn, many star lords were forced back to the outside of the steps.

"How many steps are you going up?"

"I'm at level eighteen."

"I am at level nine."

"I'm thirty-two!"

"These steps are a bit strange. It's not always true that the weaker you are, the stronger the lightning tribulation you encounter. Some of them are quite strong and encountered a Great Dao level lightning tribulation at the beginning."

Everyone frowned, pondering and exchanging ideas.

When the other star lords resisted the lightning tribulation on the steps, they displayed extraordinary power, and the other star lords had already made their own judgments.

"Those guys who retreated after the first ten steps were all quite weak, but that Heavenly Fist Alliance Leader is quite strong. His faith power is condensed into the Dao and perfectly integrated with his own small world. He is definitely a strong person in the Star Lord realm, yet he was also blocked outside the first ten steps. This is not scientific..."

The young leader of the alliance frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

These ancient steps are indeed strangely puzzling.

"This tribulation lightning is definitely targeted in a specific way, not randomly."

"That's right, no matter how many times I go up, the intensity of the lightning tribulation I encounter on each step is the same!"

"I'm wondering, since it's not related to our strength, could it be... ranked by age?"

"age?"

The star lords exchanged bewildered glances; this was indeed a possibility.

"How old are you all who have climbed more than thirty steps?" a Star Lord immediately asked.

At this moment, the group had been divided into several teams. The first team consisted of six people who had climbed more than thirty steps, including one person who had climbed forty steps.

"It's best to state your own age before asking others," said the leader of the Thousand Feather Alliance indifferently. He was also in the first tier, and even though he was a man, he felt somewhat disgusted by being asked about his age.

"Hmph, what's there to hide? To us, age is just a number. It's less than ten thousand years, who cares how old we are!" A star lord sneered. He was in the second tier and had only reached the twentieth step, but he had shown great strength and had also observed several people in the first tier.

He instinctively felt that his strength was no less than theirs.

Moreover, based on the information gathered from previous discussions, this step is not determined by strength, so even if Alliance Leader Qianyu and others are in the first tier, he will not care.

"Everyone, we are now going to get to the other side. This is the only passage. I hope you can cooperate actively. If we can find the pattern of the lightning tribulation on these steps, we can get through this lightning tribulation area as soon as possible and find our own treasures."

"After all, we're here to find treasure, not to fight, right?"

Someone stepped forward and spoke up as the person in charge.

The others all looked disdainful and didn't bother to respond, but they didn't argue either.

Everyone present is a Star Lord; none of them will submit to anyone else. Want to command them? Unless you're a God-level expert!

"Indeed, everyone. Let's tell you our ages. It'll be fair if everyone gives theirs," someone suggested. Then, he said first, "I'm quite old. I'm over nine thousand years old this year. I can't remember the exact number."

"I think I have over six thousand," another star lord said.

"If we're talking about physical age, I should be around 12,000 years old."

What is meant by calculating biological age?

"I have entered some secret realms with bizarre time flow and spent some time there. It can be said that a thousand years are in the cave and a day is in the world. In the Federation, only a few years have passed, but I have been there for thousands of years. If you calculate it this way, my physical age has naturally increased by several thousand years."

"If you calculate it that way, then it certainly should be."

"Tsk tsk, you all live quite a long time. I've only just turned three thousand years old this year, and I'm just preparing for my grand birthday celebration!"

"I have a little over five thousand, around five thousand six."

"It seems everyone here is a junior. I am already ten thousand years old, haha."

Soon, everyone began to announce their ages. The giants at the Star Lord level had lifespans approaching immortality. They could use their small worlds to alter the flow of time and reshape their bodies. As long as their faith remained, they were practically immortal, living for hundreds of thousands of years with ease. Such lifespans were enough for them to watch the rise and fall of some planets and the changing of civilizations with a smile.

"Hmph, what's so great about living a long life? We're all at the Star Lord level, just like me, not some deified god!"

"Exactly, it's been 100,000 years and they're still stuck at the Star Lord realm. If it were me, I would have already cultivated to godhood."

"What do you know? You think you can just bestow titles of gods like that? Bestowing titles of gods requires the approval of 'Heaven.' Don't be fooled by your current age of a few thousand years and your ability to cultivate to the Star Lord realm. The possibility of you remaining at that level for the rest of your lives is at least 99%!"

The star lord, whose lifespan was ten thousand years, turned cold and said, "To become a god is a one-in-a-hundred chance. I myself entered the star lord realm before I was even two thousand years old, and what happened? I still managed to survive until now. You all have a long way to go, hmph!"

"That's true. I also entered the Star Lord Realm when I was over two thousand years old. Now, thirty thousand years later, I've only made a tiny progress. The gap between the Star Lord Realm and the God-Sealing Realm is not as simple as you imagine. It's a hundred times more difficult than entering the Star Lord Realm from the Starry Sky Realm. Do you think those powerful God-Sealing Realm experts who shook the universe could achieve that so easily?"

Another star lord chimed in.

Upon hearing this, the other star lords' expressions changed slightly.

Many of them only reached the Star Lord level after two thousand years, or even later. Does that mean they will remain at this level for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years?!

I can't believe it!

"A bunch of old fogies, huh." Hearing the crowd's words, Alliance Leader Qianyu's eyes flashed with disdain. He sneered, "I've only just turned eight hundred years old this year, and I've already been a Star Lord for over a hundred years. What you're talking about is just the norm, but geniuses break the norm!"

The implication is that you are all mediocre people!

The others' expressions changed, some of them becoming annoyed.

Especially those star lords who have lived for tens of thousands of years, all glared angrily.

However, considering the age he mentioned, his expression couldn't help but change. To become a Star Lord in just seven hundred years? That's truly rare, a genius indeed!

"I am 629 years old this year."

Beside her, the burly and powerful female overlord spoke.

With a hint of disdain, she glanced at Alliance Leader Qianyu with her stunningly beautiful face. "You really think you're the only young one? I'm even younger!"

She was quite proud, after all, she was big where she should be big and small where she should be small, that's her advantage!

The Thousand Feather Alliance Leader's expression changed slightly. More than six hundred?

He narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen this female overlord make a move before. Although it was only a few times, her power of faith was already incredibly vast, unlike someone who had only cultivated for a few hundred years.

It's important to understand that the power of faith needs to be gathered.

The collection takes time, and the longer it takes, the more you can collect!

Unless you have extremely strong faith, only then can you be provided with such immense power of faith!

"Haha, you guys really are all weaklings."

Beside him, the leader of the European Emperor Alliance couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "I'm only 580 years old this year, so I should be the youngest Star Lord here, haha. It seems that all the Star Lords I've ever met are older than me. Tsk tsk, is cultivation really that difficult? Isn't it just about eating and sleeping?"

The others' expressions froze slightly. 580?

Not even 600 years old?

You should know that at this age, many people find it difficult to even reach the Heavenly Fate Realm!

Even some geniuses find it difficult to cultivate to the Starry Sky Realm at such a young age!

This guy definitely has an extremely terrifying talent for cultivation!

When Qianyu Alliance Leader heard this, his lips twitched. He hadn’t expected that this idiot he had always disliked was so young. Didn’t this mean that the other party’s talent was higher than his?

This is utterly unjust!

The female tyrant beside her also changed her expression slightly, her brows furrowed, and she let out a cold snort.

Being several decades older made her somewhat unhappy.

Although these decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and the differences in cultivation are not obvious, I have still fallen behind somewhat.

"Have you finished speaking?"

At this moment, the young girl who was the leader of the alliance suddenly spoke up.

Her expression was strange, a mixture of excitement and pride, her eyes filled with disdain and arrogance, and the corners of her mouth were already upturned, indicating that she was already impatient.

So you guys are all this bad!

Step back, it's time for this goddess to broaden your horizons!

"Um?"

The others looked at her, and when the Alliance Leader Qianyu saw the unusual excitement on the girl's face, he had a bad feeling and his expression became even more gloomy.

"What, you're younger than me?" The leader of the European Emperor Alliance looked at her, surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered a Star Lord who was younger than him.

The playful and teasing look in his eyes faded, replaced by a serious expression.

Although he seemed unreliable and talked nonsense, he was very calm inside and knew what this age meant.

They may remain at the Star Lord realm for tens of thousands of years in the future, but in the early stages now, becoming a Star Lord as soon as possible, while not absolute, basically means having higher talent!

The future path depends on future opportunities. Perhaps some people are more talented, but their talents may be cut short by unforeseen circumstances.

Perhaps some people are dull-witted, but they encounter a benefactor who guides them and suddenly they have an epiphany!

"Oh!"

The young leader of the alliance smiled contemptuously, her lips twisted in a wicked manner, her posture exuding an indescribable arrogance.

She placed her hand on her eyebrows and said in an extremely aloof and seductive tone, accompanied by a suddenly suppressed and composed voice, "This goddess is eighty-nine years old this year!"

quiet!

Quiet!

The crowd looked at each other, staring at her as if she were a madwoman.

Eighty-nine years old?

Eighty-nine?!

All the Star Lords were shocked, and the many Star Realm experts in their small worlds also stared wide-eyed, their jaws nearly dropping.

This girl is only eighty-nine?!

Okay, eighty-nine can no longer be considered a young girl, but... compared to the lifespan of a Star Lord, this is practically at the fetal level, not even born yet!

"How is that possible!"

Although Qianyu Alliance Leader had some expectations, he was still shocked to hear that the child was so young that he blurted out his name.

Even if one started cultivating from the womb, it would be impossible to reach the Star Lord realm in less than a hundred years, right?

Moreover, this girl's faith power is incredibly strong. In such a short time, even finding believers wouldn't be enough, so how could she possibly gather faith power?

"Oh!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, the young leader was extremely satisfied and concluded with a contemptuous smile.

Su Ping was speechless when he saw the eccentric girl's...grandmother's smug and arrogant expression.

Eighty-nine?

you sure?

At such an advanced age, still so immature and childish, what's the difference between him and a kindergarten kid?

But soon, Su Ping felt relieved.

The younger the age, the higher the talent, and the more diligent she is in her cultivation!

No one in this world can succeed by relying solely on talent without putting in the effort; this is an ironclad rule of reality!

If one focuses solely on cultivation, then in other matters, one is indeed like a child, lacking maturity.

"Eighty-nine... At that time, I was still in the Void Realm."

"My grandma, she's lying, isn't she?"

"I reached the Heavenly Fate Realm a hundred years later, which would have made me a super genius in our area, but then..."

Many Star Realm cultivators choked with emotion, some speechless with sorrow.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

The other star lords looked at each other and fell silent.

Eighty-nine... If that's true, then you're really awesome!

Although age does not represent strength, such terrifying talent has awe-inspiring many people. Some of what Alliance Leader Qianyu said earlier was true: geniuses can break the rules. Perhaps this girl will not stay in the Star Lord realm for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, like them.

After a moment of silence, everyone got back to the main topic. As everyone reported their ages, they were divided into three groups. Suddenly, they realized that age... was actually a possibility!

While not absolute, it is a tendency!

In the first tier, apart from the one who reached the fortieth floor and was two thousand years old, the others, such as the Alliance Leader Girl, Alliance Leader Thousand Feather, and Alliance Leader European Emperor, were all young.

However, problems arise in the second tier based on age.

There are people who are 30,000 years old and 70,000 years old. In the third tier, among those who only entered the top ten, there are people who are 7,000 or 8,000 years old.

"Age doesn't seem to be the absolute factor, but the younger ones are definitely near the top."

"I feel like it's somewhat related to age, but if it's related to age... wait, could this ranking be based on talent?"

Everyone was startled. They had been to quite a few secret realms, some of which were left behind by ancient powerful figures and had established inheritance systems. These systems would select those with outstanding talent and aptitude through trials to inherit the secret realm.

Such things happen frequently and are not uncommon. After all, the concept of "inheritance" is a genetic instinct of humans, or rather, intelligent beings!

Like reproduction, it is also a form of inheritance.

This habit is etched deep into one's soul.

"Could it be that these steps are determined by aptitude? And on the other side of those steps, is there a celestial abode's inheritance?"

Some people couldn't help but speculate, and the thought of this made everyone else's eyes light up, with a hint of red and madness.

A celestial abode inheritance? Right across the street? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it!

"It might not be a legacy; perhaps it's just a test before we enter the gate. In any case, let's give it a try and see if we can find out with our battle pets!" someone suggested.

No one else objected, and someone immediately summoned their battle pet and sent it to the steps to conduct the test.
