"Do not worry about that," Lucia said with a faint smile as she looked at Max, her earlier irritation fading into a more composed expression. "The criteria for participating in the Cosmic Ascension Conference is far more complicated than what you currently know. What you have heard so far is only the most basic part of it."
Max's gaze sharpened slightly as he listened, clearly interested.
Lucia leaned back slightly and began explaining, her tone steady and informative.
"It is true that the original requirement for participation in the Cosmic Ascension Conference is the Law Refinement Realm," she said. "This rule was established when the very first conference was held, which dates back millions of years, perhaps even earlier than that. At that time, the strongest geniuses across the Divine Realm were generally at the Law Refinement Realm or at most at its peak. That level represented the highest standard of talent and cultivation among the younger generation."
