The exact number of Universal Cornerstones that had already been claimed throughout the Origin Battlefield was difficult to determine.
Still, even without knowing the exact number, many Awakeners could make a reasonable estimate from what they could see.
The Fourth Layer Territory Ranking alone now contained exactly thirty-three names.
Thirty-three Universal Cornerstones.
The significance of that number became greater when considering how difficult obtaining a Cornerstone at this level actually was.
Even discovering one was not necessarily simple, since not all Level Three regions contained one, and if it did, the Awakeners involved would still need to swim through a sea of monsters and defeat the final boss before having the chance to claim anything.
Of course, not all thirty-three Cornerstones necessarily originated from the efforts of Fourth Layer Awakeners themselves.
Some of the thirty-three owners might have relied heavily on juniors operating in the lower Layers.
