The emergence of geniuses and the red envelope crisis
The "Soul-forged Genius" plan is like a silent spring rain, quietly penetrating into the life cycle of the eight races. The fighting on the front lines has not stopped, but in the territories of various tribes at the rear, a number of "geniuses" have begun to emerge that surprise everyone.
At first, there were just sporadic rumors - in a certain human race border town, a blacksmith's son was able to activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the age of five and repair broken magic weapons without any knowledge; in a certain fairy sect affiliated family, a sideline girl had an epiphany at the age of seven and broke through three realms in one day. The elders were alarmed; in a remote tribe of the demon tribe, a strange-colored cub was born, which could compete with an adult demon without defeat after three months of age; in a border city of the demon tribe, a mixed-race boy could control three completely different demonic energies of desire at the same time...
The frequency of appearance and talent intensity of these geniuses far exceed the normal probability in the history of various races. What's even weirder is that most of them come from ordinary, even humble backgrounds, yet they show amazing talents that are completely inconsistent with their bloodline and inheritance.
As time went by, there were more and more such cases, finally arousing the vigilance of senior officials of all ethnic groups. When intelligence from all over the place was gathered at the Nine Emperors' desk, an even more shocking commonality emerged: the births of these geniuses were almost all concentrated in the past ten years - right after the implementation of the "Soul-forging Genius" plan.
However, the truth is much deeper than that.

In the Imperial Palace of the Human Race, Zhao Gou was reviewing the memorial when he suddenly felt a strange throbbing in his belly - not pain, but a pulse of life connected by blood.
