Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Which was over a thousand regions, a thousand worlds. Such an Empire was comparable to an Interrgalactic force that watched over thousands of worlds.

"And lastly, we have those monsters above [12] rating, anyone with such a potential can become a Saint even without trying, become a demigod with a little bit of effort and a god if they put their mind into it." She lightly breathed out, as a conclusion to her words.

That was how far her knowledge in terms of potential stretched out to reach. Anything else beyond that, was illusory to her. She didn't even believe such monsters exist.

"That's actually quite simple, but is there any further information." Cheryl felt like a lot of information was still missing when she asked this question. And she was correct.

But it was still impressive nonetheless. The Empire she was talking about covered an entire Continent of thousands of regions, and only around a thousand millenia geniuses are there, Cheryl thought.

One could see the rarity of such talents. The chances were one out of billions of mortals, or one such talent per world. As for the last rating, there might not be even one within a world.

That was what Cheryl thought.

"Yes, I wasn't done, my lady." Tiara said such as her response. She was only taking a breather, and was not done. There was actually more she had to say.

"Continue."

"Yes. The evaluation doesn't just end there. To determine how far one's potential can reach, their potential is multiplied by a factor of 5, also known as the evaluation factor.

"But that's not all. For every realm you rise up, you will experience a small increase in potential factor. And if you reach a certain realm, whereby your potential factor does not surpass the potential mark of the next realm, then you've reached your limit.

"But with time, a person could still reach higher levels of power. Just that, every rank up, that you were never destined to reach, cultivation process becomes five times more than required.

"Worst of all, the rank after that, becomes five times five more than required. And the third one after, becomes five times five times five more than required."

Tiara explained as they continued walking. Her words simply meant that, if a person was born as an average talent, of potential [2] or [3], their maximum rank would be Apprentice and Adept respectively.

For the one who could only become an Apprentice their entire life, they would take five times more time required to become an Adept that others.

Then to become an Advanced, they would require twenty five more time required. A Great Master, would mean they needed one hundred and twenty five times the time.

If all it took was three months, nine months and fourteen months to become an Adept, an Advance and a Great Master at average, then that said person would need fifteen months, two hundred and twenty five months, and almost two thousand months to do the same.

From slightly two years, to almost two hundred years. The difference was almost a hundred times more than the other. And yes, life was just that shitty.

"The potential marks for every realm are as follows; Apprentice is 10 Pm, Adept is 15 Pm, Master is 20 Pm, Great Master is 25 Pm, Grand Master is 30 Pm, Epic is 35 Pm, Legend is 40 Pm, Saint is 45 Pm and quasi god is 55+ Pm.

"To become a god, potential is not the only thing that is needed. I'm sorry, but I don't know anything related to them. Forgive me." She lowered her head during the latter half of her explaination.

"It's fine." Cheryl waved her hand at her casually, to brush over the matter. The amount I'd information she just received was quite a lot.

And from within, she could deduct that even millenia genuises, only the more fortunate ones to become a [11] talent, could only cap at becoming half deities.

And that was all. If they were not a Heavenly genuine of [12] rating, Becoming a god would be five times harder than the average time required for them.

And feeling as if some things were still missing, she added on with one single word, ready to digest more information, "Continue."

"The increase of potential factor per realm is also; 1 point, 2 points, 3 points, 4 points, 4 points, 5 points, 5 points, 5 points and 6 points. From Apprenrice to half god respectively." Tiara concluded all of her words with this statement.

"Well, things got a bit confusing but still a bit simple nonetheless. Have you evaluated everyone's potential yet?" Cheryl nodded her head lightly, then asked a question out of the blue.

Though all her previous deductions were debuffed, as even someone with a potential of [4], would have their maximum potential be Advance with a Pm of 20.

But as they become an Apprentice, Adept and an Advance, they obtain a +1, +2 and a +3 to their Pm rating, which adds up to 26 Pm, which means that they could also become Great masters.

As they become Great masters, it adds up with yet another +4, then becoming 30 Pm, which means they could now become Grand masters. Thus reaching their limit.

From 30 Pm, it would become 34 Pm when they become Grand Masters, one point away from the required Pm to become Epics. Then the process continues.

Cheryl stopped her thoughts as they were now infront of a large building, that could hold in at most thousands of people and stood on the soft fluffy clouds. But they ignored it all, and continued with their conversation.

"Not yet, my lady. We have yet to evaluate anyone, but we believe that the chances of a genuine appearing are null." Tiara lowered her head as she replied.

"Do so. And for those with average talents, place them at the outer area of the valley, those who are considered geniuses are to be placed in the inner valley and the super geniuses are to be put into the central core of the valley.

"Name this places as the outer sect, inner sect and core sect respectively. They could switch sect sections when they obtain enough strength or merit.

"As for those with century talents, they are to be taken in under any of you sisters. The ones with millenia talents, if there are any, send them to Almeida.

"As for the ones with Heaven defying talents, I'll personally teach them myself. In other words, you girls and Almeida herself." Cheryl then turned around to look at Tiara with a beautiful and motherly smile.

"But my lady, we are—" Tiara wasn't in the mood to admire the smile though, because she felt pressured. She and the others were from the slums, they had no talents at all.

Being born as low lives, how could their talent be Heaven defying? They were scum of the slums, such a notion was nothing but mere fantasy. And now, the person she admired from the bottom of her heart...

She was afraid that Cheryl would be disappointed when she found out about this and perhaps, kill them. A god was a temperamental being, and despite her being so kind, who knew if she hid her true feelings?

She and the others were Epics, but that was after going through a lot of hardships and surpassing their limits. If they truly were geniuses, they wouldn't need so much effort in the first place would they?

Would the sisters still be scum? Would they still be in this place? Wouldn't they be treated as Royalty by the powerful forces of the Empire?

"Believe in my judgement. From now on, you and your sisters will each own a peak of this place, from the first summit to the sixth summit. Almeida and I will stay up there in the floating peak. Is there any questions." Cheryl knew what Tiara was thinking but for once, ignored it.

She felt pained, but wanted to surprise them more. Though they really didn't have such talents, they weren't naturally far from it either.

After all, for people that were between sixteen years old and twenty one, to become Epics was noteworthy. Especially if one can only begin ascending at the age of seven.

Meaning that they had nine to fourteen years worth of time to cultivate. They were at most genuises if they were capable of such feats. Hardworking genuises at that.

And after her plan succeeds and everyone's potential becomes re-evaluated, then they'd realised how much potential they had. Just imagining everything was exciting.

"No ma'am." Tiara lowered her head and quietly replied to Cheryl. Her mood was down, she could not stop thinking about being discarded once again. By the person she cherished the most.

"Great, now let's start with the evaluation first. Come to me if there are any problems." Cheryl ignored Tiara's mood for now. She'll be better after playing with Michelle and Michu after all.
