"You can not stop until we have become a third-ranked family."
?
Those were the last words Lorne said to Leia before closing his eyes and bidding goodbye to the world.
?
There was a sense of relief in his eyes as he no longer had to live with that obsession, while his last memory was the massacre that the Svants went through in the beast tide.
***
?
The next moment, Lorne appeared in the store with a confused expression, and then it turned into complete disappointment. He finally remembered that he had participated in a competition to earn the store owner’s inheritance.
?
He wasn’t the only one in the store to come out of the contest. Every second, tens of millions of people were appearing in their seats. They could only feel disappointment at failing to grab that life-changing reward.
?
As he checked other participants’ ongoing screens, he felt even more disappointed. Looking at their progress, he was one of the fastest to reach the second-ranked family.
?
It seemed he would be one of the hundred by the way things were going. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t have that fate. The Svants had gone through many attacks over the years. If he had hidden back, he would still be alive and wouldn’t have exhausted his lifespan. But at the same time, his progress also wouldn’t be that quick.
?
Even Lily was disappointed when Lorne failed. He was one of the few she had her eyes on in the contest.
?
But what happened had happened, and without reaching the third-ranked, it didn’t matter how quick or stable the growth was.
?
Since the time difference between the store and the competition was very wide, many years had passed for the contestants.
?
Maria had also participated in the competition. Her romantic feelings for Aakesh had long disappeared, and they were not just reverential.
?
If Aakesh asked her to worship him as a deity, she wouldn’t think twice before doing that. Her strength in the Sacred dimension wasn’t low.
?
Due to her progress in Panagea, she had control over a vast number of resources, making her cultivation quicker than even those very talented geniuses.
?
She didn’t have any memory of the store, but due to her luck, she had achieved quicker and stabler progress than many in the family building.
?
Her family was a warlike family that waged wars on others for resources. It killed many of her descendants, but whoever remained alive were the best of the best. In a sense, she was using both quantity and quality.
?
In a hundred thousand years, she was a Level 76, while three of her sons were around the same level, making her an above-average, second-ranked family.
?
For a second-ranked family to become a third-ranked family, they needed to have at least one Level 150 member, ten members from anywhere between Level 145 and 149, and ten thousand members above Level 120.
?
The gap between those two ranks was wide enough for quantity to never match up to that quality. The third-ranked family was a group of elites in a precise sense, as only these three requirements mattered.
?
Maria’s family was still an unknown number of years away from achieving that goal. Her family didn’t have ten thousand members in total above Level 25, let alone having them above Level 120.
?
Inside the hall, Maria and all the squadron captains were sitting, looking at the map before them.
?
The family had a policy of resting for twenty years after every war to increase the number of descendants so that the family could cope in case of a very high casualty count in the war.
?
Twenty years had now passed, so it was time to go to war. The last war was won by them comfortably, so the family was stronger than ever before.
?
The meeting lasted for three months, during which seven plans were made for different situations. Nothing can be foolproof, but what they could do was be as certain of victory as possible.
?
Their enemy was also a second-ranked family that had a Level 77 ancestor. There was a big gap between Level 76 and Level 77, but Maria had ways to win that battle, so the ancestor battle was left to her, while the others in the family would attack different resource points.
?
The time for the attack was set for one month later.
?
While the family was preparing resources, Maria stealthily left the family and went to assassinate her target.
?
She had gained a rare item during one of her adventures. It could create an isolated space and match the enemy to the same level as the item’s owner if the level difference between the two sides was less than five levels.
?
That was her wild card, and she never feared anyone at the same level, so she wasn’t worried.
?
She had been a confident person since her birth, and that was the reason the family had only grown stronger after every war. Her luck had also played a part in that, but her confidence was the main protagonist.
?
The battle didn’t last long between her and the target. After killing him, she immediately left, while at the same time, the family struck several resource points from different angles.
?
The war didn’t last very long, as the target turned out to be incompetent without their Level 77 ancestor. Maria and her family won an easy victory and gained a large number of resources and resource points.
?
Then the family rested for twenty years to convert those stolen resources into strength and then attack another target.
?
There were countless participants, so there were bound to be many exceptional figures. Like Maria, many kept becoming stronger over time due to their strong foundation. Some were also very unlucky, like Lorne, whose family came across many uncontrollable situations.
?
Many created very strong families, but were unable to live that long due to their own weak level, so their struggle came to an end, and they failed the competition.
