Chapter 409 'One in a Billion' (I wish all readers a happy new year!)

"Just call me by my name."

Bai Ye looked at Jia Yi and asked in a gentle tone: "A lot of people are looking for you recently?"

"There are quite a few. There are several cosmic sages alone, and there are even more immortals. Most of them are well-informed and have extraordinary status." Jia Yi showed a helpless look.

Bai Ye doesn't care about these people, but Jia Yi, a small immortal, doesn't dare to be too disrespectful.

Whenever a strong man with a good background comes to his door, Jia Yi has to deal with it carefully.

During this period of time, Jia Yi was extremely busy both physically and mentally because of the 'Abyss Quota' matter.

Seeing Jia Yi's appearance, Bai Ye also guessed a bit about the other person's experience during this period.

When it comes to selecting a group of humans to transform into abyssal beings, the first people to know, apart from the Lord of the Universe at the top of the race, are the Earthlings, Manka Stars, etc., who were selected by Bai Ye from each branch of the human race on the list. Chiefs and managers.

Most of these people are cosmic lords and immortal gods.

People close to them will naturally be among the first to get the news.

Most of the people who come to Jia Yi are the clansmen, subordinates, disciples and other relatively close beings of these 'managers'.

Except for Bai Ye, Luo Feng, and their families, the number of immortal gods in the entire human lineage on earth does not exceed a thousand.

Since Bai Ye and Luo Feng led the people on earth to the universe, countless people on earth have spread out on other planets.

"The current situation of the Earthlings is rather complicated..."

And with Jia Yi's character, he would not give away favors casually based on Bai Ye's instructions, so he naturally seemed exhausted both mentally and physically.

There is no need for forced recruitment at all. The number of people on earth who are practicing or intending to practice the rules of the abyss far exceeds this number.

There are also strong men from other ethnic groups who send their offspring to the earth to give birth to children, and use the special environment of the earth to enhance the talents of their offspring.

This number is very inconspicuous compared to the base number of people on the entire earth, not even a fraction.

The matter of selecting tribesmen to transform into abyssal humans involves many interests, and it is also very troublesome to coordinate the various factions.

Bai Ye said casually.

If you want to select no more than 10,000 'candidates' among so many people, it is quite troublesome to formulate appropriate rules so that everyone can be convinced.

"Immortal gods?" Bai Ye was a little surprised.

'Earthlings' naturally does not only refer to the human beings living on the earth.

After all, Bai Ye is from Earth. Among the Earth people, Bai Ye has a very high reputation and has countless admirers.

For example, according to race, there are 'pure-blooded Earthlings', 'mixed-blooded Earthlings', 'descendants of immigrants from alien planets' and so on.

Bai Ye remembered that among the requirements he gave, it was stated that 'in principle, applications for immortality and above will not be accepted'.

In terms of numbers alone, the number is staggering.

The descendants of these people all belong to the lineage of Earthlings.

Jia Yi briefly explained the situation.

For this reason, those tribesmen who have been mixed for who knows how many generations and whose bloodline as earthlings has become extremely thin are also included.

Transforming more abyssal beings is completely indifferent to Bai Ye.

Everyone is responsible for their own choices.

However, after all, Jia Yi has been managing ethnic affairs for so many years, and Bai Ye has spoken out about this matter again. At least among the people on earth, Jia Yi is not afraid of offending anyone, and he can handle it with ease.

Bai Ye gave a lineage of Earthlings between five thousand and ten thousand places.

As a result, Jia Yi also allowed three immortal gods to pass the 'primary election'?

You must know that although the Earthlings have become the sixth largest giant in the human race, they mainly rely on Bai Ye and Luo Feng to support the scene.

Those who were born on Earth but belong to other branches of the ethnic group have the dual identities of their own ethnic group and Earthlings, and are also considered part of the Earthlings lineage.

Bai Ye only gave the quota and level requirements, and Jia Yi had to arrange the rest of the specific standards himself.

All in all extremely complex.

Not to mention, there are an even larger number of people on earth who are full of yearning for the 'abyss'.

"If someone comes to you again, don't refuse. Tell them directly that transforming into an abyssal life will not improve your cultivation talent or strength. And once the transformation begins, there will be no chance of regret. If they still persist and can pass through the virtual universe System review, just agree directly."

Naturally, various small groups emerged.

"How are the arrangements for the Earthlings?" Bai Ye asked the question he was most concerned about.

The earliest batch can be traced back to those 'foreigners' who were 'forced to migrate' to other living planets by White Night.

Bai Ye doesn't care about these people, but for Jia Yi, they can bring him a lot of pressure, and each of them must be dealt with carefully.

"One hundred thousand people have been initially selected, including 1,200 realm lords, three immortal gods, and the rest are from apprentice level to realm lords." Jia Yi concluded: "Next, I expect it will take half a year. time, further rounds of screening will be conducted on these 100,000 people, and the total number will be strictly controlled within 10,000."

If divided by interest groups, there are the Luo family faction, the Bai family faction, the coalition government faction... and so on.

If someone is really lucky and wants to 'change their life' by joining the Abyss camp, Bai Ye said that the path is chosen by him anyway.

Jia Yi didn't ask anything and agreed directly: "I understand."

Including later, as the earth's population increased, people who lived on the earth continued to immigrate and move to other planets.

As long as there are not too many immortals and cosmic sages, the human race will not care.

Three immortal gods passed the primary election, which is already a very high proportion.

Jia Yi reminded: "The three immortals all practice the rules of the abyss."

Among the requirements given by Bai Ye, there is this one, 'Those who have achieved success in practicing the rules of the abyss can lower the threshold as appropriate.'

"That's no problem." Bai Ye understood and said, "I'll leave this to you."

In fact, Bai Ye attaches great importance to the matter of transforming the 'Abyss Human Race'.

But when it came to the specific list and candidates, Bai Ye didn't care so much.

After all, they are all tools for reproducing the population. How many and who to choose are all indifferent to Bai Ye. This is why, after such a long time since the news was released, Bai Ye only asked about this matter for the first time.

And he just suddenly sensed that the aura of the 'Lord of Yanjing Kingdom', who he had once had a relationship with, appeared on the earth. He found out that the other party was looking for Jia Yi, so he remembered to ask.

If this hadn't happened, Bai Ye would probably not be able to think about this matter again until the candidates from each branch clan were selected and sent to Bai Ye.

After leaving Jia Yi, Bai Ye suddenly remembered that the 'manager' of the Abyss Human Race had not yet been determined.

His consciousness connected to the virtual universe, and he sent emails to Wuka, Ai Chen and others, inviting them to meet in the virtual universe.

……

Virtual universe, in a luxurious manor.

Bai Ye meets Uka, Ai Chen and others.

"Boss, long time no see." Uka still looked careless, as if he never knew what 'humanity and sophistication' meant.

The other people were much more reserved, and each of them greeted Bai Ye with a slightly respectful and humble attitude.

As Bai Ye's strength continues to improve, his status and reputation among the human race are getting higher and higher. Even those who are close to him gradually find it difficult to maintain a normal attitude in front of Bai Ye, and they will unconsciously lower their posture and put their He placed himself in the 'lower position' and carefully figured out Bai Ye's thoughts.

This is why, the stronger the person, the more lonely he is.

When the gap between strength and others is widened, if you are not close enough to someone, if you want to maintain a 'normal mind' when interacting with them, the weaker party must have an extremely strong mentality.

And such people are only a minority after all.

Although Bai Ye still thinks about the 'friendship' between the original geniuses in his heart, in fact, Wuka, Ai Chen and others have become Bai Ye's 'subordinates'.

It's hard not to have an impact on their mentality.

Uka is a bit better, with a better mentality, even close to the state of Thor's "Innocent Heart".

Several others have been greatly affected.

Bai Ye sighed secretly in his heart, but didn't say anything. He just greeted everyone, ate, drank, and chatted casually.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Ye got down to business: "The clan is going to select a group of people to join the abyss and create a lineage of the 'abyss human race'. You should all know this, right?"

A strange look flashed in Bo Lan's eyes, but he did not speak immediately, but thought about Bai Ye's purpose of saying this.

Uka said carelessly: "I heard that my father selected a group of elite tribesmen on Manka Planet. Although they are not as good as the top evil geniuses of the tribe, the best ones can be considered to be of good quality. Yes, they all belong to the level of 'one in a billion'."

The phrase "no one among billions" mentioned by Uka is a common standard for judging geniuses. It does not refer to "billions of people", but only one genius will appear in "billions of living planets".

Probably there is a high probability of reaching the level of immortality.

For a genius in the conventional sense, reaching this level can actually be called a 'monster'.

However, just having great confidence in stepping into immortality and looking at the universe can only be regarded as average. In every generation, a large group of such geniuses will appear.

From the perspective of the entire ethnic group, geniuses of this level are not valuable.

However, for a branch group, especially for branches with a relatively sparse population, geniuses of this level are still relatively rare.

For example, in the Manka Star lineage, in each generation, the number of geniuses who can reach the level of 'no one in a billion' will never exceed double digits.

Taking out a few and sending them into the abyss world would be considered a huge investment for the Manka Star lineage.

Bai Ye estimated that the extremely ancient Universe Lord from the Manka Star lineage and Uka's ancestor knew about the relationship between Bai Ye and Uka and wanted to further strengthen the 'friendship' between the two parties.

Although Manka Planet has two Universe Lords, they do not have a backer at the level of the Lord of the Universe, and their status among the human race is somewhat inferior.

It sounds like it is an extremely ancient and powerful branch of the ethnic group, but in fact it does not have a high say. Instead, it often gives away various treasures and resources special to Manka Star to give favors in order to win more for the Manka Star lineage. Good room for development.

Bai Ye could guess a little bit about the thoughts of Mankaxing's lineage, but he was too lazy to worry about it.

If Uka made a request to Bai Ye and hoped that Bai Ye would become the backer of the Manka Star lineage, Bai Ye might even consider it.

Just this level of 'exchange of interests' cannot catch Bai Ye's eyes.

In Bai Ye's heart, the value of the entire Manka star is not as high as that of Uka.

But there is no need to say this kind of thing.

"That's what I want to tell you." Bai Ye changed the topic to business, "The Abyss Human Race still lacks a few 'managers'. Are you interested?"

After taking a look at everyone's different expressions, Bai Ye reminded: "Don't think too much, just make your own decision."

"Do you want to transform into an abyss life?" Rong Jun asked tentatively.

"Yes, you have to transform into an abyssal life. And after the transformation, you will not be able to go against my will at the level of rules. To a certain extent, for all abyssal beings, I am the 'supreme rule' of the abyss. .”

Bai Ye didn't hide anything, and revealed all the shortcomings of being transformed into a life in the abyss.

If they don't want to, Bai Ye can just find someone else.

Even if you really can't find a suitable one, the worst thing you can do is spend more time cultivating yourself from the lineage of abyssal humans.

For a long time in the future, the 'manager' of the abyss humans will only need the strength of the Lord of the Universe.

Even with a little bit of improvisation, a stronger King of Immortality could barely hold up.

After thinking about it, Bai Ye added: "The direction of your cultivation and the degree of compatibility with the abyss are medium. If you transform into the life of the abyss, your cultivation efficiency will not increase or decrease. The only thing I can give you is, It is the authority of the 'Great Lord of the Abyss', but it is just an ordinary Great Lord of the Abyss. The increase in strength is not too high, and it can only slightly speed up the efficiency of your understanding of the rules of the abyss."

"The rules of the abyss..."

Several people hesitated.

They all have different cultivation directions, but none of them practices the abyss system.

The efficiency of training in the rules of the abyss, or the improvement of talents, does not seem to be particularly significant.

Even from Bolan's eyes, Bai Ye could see that Bolan was already inclined to refuse, but he was just embarrassed, or did not dare to be the first to speak, so he deliberately showed hesitation.

Bai Ye sighed secretly in his heart and said, "If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. Your current position and status will remain the same."

As soon as Bai Ye said these words, Bolan was obviously relieved. Just as he was about to speak, he was beaten to the punch by Kroff: "I have been to the secret realm of the abyss for training and have come into contact with some alien races in the abyss. I heard from those alien races. , there is a special place in the abyss called the 'Abyss Battlefield'?"
