A mob of clones

Chapter 544 Devouring Wu He: Rules are meant to be broken (7k)

Devouring Star World, June 2060 AD...

virtual universe...

Although the world of Devouring the Star is more of a fantasy world, many places in it also follow scientific laws.

For example, the aspect of information transmission.

This is normal information transmission, and the speed of light is already a fairly fast transmission speed.

Going any faster could speed up the delivery of information into the dark universe by 1,081,000 times.

That basically translates to 0.3 light years per second.

The fastest speed of transmission in the dark universe is one hundred times the speed of light.

That is to say, even if we ignore any consumption and let the information be transmitted at the fastest speed, the fastest speed can reach thirty light years per second.

This speed is already quite fast, but it is still far from enough.

The diameter of the entire Milky Way is about 100,000 light years.

Even if we ignore the conditions for the dark universe and the original universe to travel between each other, it would take several minutes to run from one end of the Milky Way to the other.

The Silver-Blue Empire, a primary cosmic country alone, owns several galaxies like the Milky Way.

The distance between each galaxy is far greater than the diameter of the galaxy itself.

This means that for a signal to be transmitted from within the Silver-Blue Empire to the outside, it would take at least several hours or even days for the farthest place to receive it.

This is just a primary universe country.

The intermediate cosmic country Black Dragon Mountain Empire controls thousands of star systems on its own, and primary cosmic countries like the Silver-Blue Empire also have hundreds of vassals.

It would take at least several years for a message to be fully received.

For the higher-level advanced cosmic country, the Qianwu Empire, it will take even longer.

It would take hundreds or thousands of years at the very least.

This alone is the length of human civilization on Earth.

What's more, there are more than a thousand advanced cosmic countries like the Qianwu Empire within the human territory.

It would take at least millions or tens of millions of years for a piece of information to travel throughout human civilization.

Millions, tens of millions of years, this is the lifespan of a world master, but it is only enough for information to circulate within the territory.

It is obviously impossible for humans to achieve the current level of domination over various civilizations in the world with such efficiency in information transmission.

Even if the highest level of humanity can break through this speed limit by moving through the divine kingdom's teleportation space, it is obviously impossible for those high-level people to unify the entire human territory at once.

Just take the civilization on Earth as an example.

Thirty light years per second is not much different from the speed of information transmission in the universe where billions of light years are used as units, and the walking speed of one meter per second in the ancient civilization era of the Earth before the Great Nirvana period, which is measured in units of the diameter of the Earth, which is ten thousand kilometers.

Logically speaking, the situation in the ancient civilization era of Earth where the dialect and customs varied from one place to another should be even more obvious in the universe.

After all, as for the earth, if humans grit their teeth and do not encounter any other dangers and simply rush on their way, they can still travel around in a hundred years.

But as for the universe, even if a world master gritted his teeth and asked the sky for another five million years, he might not be able to fully tour the human territory.

Things like units of length, units of mass, material assessment standards, names of realms, and even accents should be quite different.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

There is a universal language in the universe, and material standards have clearly differentiated levels of ABCDE.

In terms of strength, except for the indigenous planets, whether it is a high-level universe country, an ultimate universe country or a low-level universe country, they are all quite unified in terms of apprentice level, planetary level, star level, universe level, etc.

The reason why human civilization can reach such a prosperous stage is all thanks to one person - the Protoss.

This is thanks to a secret method he created - the virtual universe.

It is a super-large virtual network that connects the entire original universe and even the cosmic ocean outside the original universe.

As long as you have a virtual universe account, you can connect to the virtual universe at any time. Even if you are in the ocean of the universe and are an almost immeasurable distance away from another person in the virtual universe, the virtual universe can still allow the two to complete a 100% real-time connection in an unreasonable way.

For the immortals who guard various territories, this is the real factor that enables human civilization to achieve absolute rule over the territory and makes it difficult for other alien races to invade.

It is the treasure of the entire human race in the Devouring Star World.

And in this virtual universe...

Killing Ground - The decisive battle space...

A young man with white hair looked at the enemy in front of him with indifference, holding a flaming sword in both hands. He instantly solved an opponent in the blink of an eye.

Skyfire, the 1000th decisive battle - win, win 1000 games, lose 0 games, rated 9 stars...

Watching the battle that "passed away" in the video in front of him, a tall and sturdy man with a dark blue body turned his head slightly to look at a man in a white robe holding a knife who suddenly appeared beside him and said:

"How can I be confident of winning against him?"

Hearing this, the white-robed man smiled, raised his hand and clicked the battle application, then nodded heavily to the burly man.

"You will win—"

The next moment, the figure of the man in white robe disappeared from the spot and appeared in a virtual battlefield.

Along with the virtual battlefield, a white-haired man holding a big sword appeared in front of him. His target of this trip was the Skyfire.

The white-robed warrior holding a knife looked at the white-haired man in front of him. The black long knife in his hand turned slightly in his hand like a swimming fish, and then suddenly drew a sword flower in the air, pointing at the enemy in front. He was not in a hurry to attack, and said:

"You are Skyfire, right~"

"I heard that you have won a thousand games in a row in the decisive battle space. That's impressive."

"I watched your duel video. Your Fire Domain should have reached at least the fifth level."

"Actually, I should have come earlier."

"It's just that you do have some skills. You killed all your previous opponents in one blow. Every duel was so fast. You managed to drag it to a thousand consecutive victories."

As he spoke, the man in white robe holding the knife swung the knife at the goblin, and a mysterious wave surged from his body.

In an instant, the surrounding space was filled with a golden light.

The seventh level of the golden domain unfolded at this moment, and a strong oppressive aura pressed down on the head of "Sky Fire".

In an instant, a golden light flashed and slashed towards the white-haired "Sky Fire".

"But unfortunately, I have to stop you here. After all, this is the unspoken rule of the Killing Ground."

"You are indeed a genius, but even geniuses need to be disciplined!"

In response to this, "Skyfire" curled up a smile.

He swung the flaming sword in both hands to his side and looked at the golden sword light rushing towards him without any other expression. He just swung the sword lightly.

In an instant, golden flames covered the entire sky, and it seemed as if a shining sun exploded above the sky of the duel space, and the man in white was swallowed by the flames in an instant.

The decisive battle was decided in an instant...

The next flame disappeared, and a non-existent ash fell into the duel space. "Skyfire" then tilted his head slightly, and then turned away, leaving only one sentence - "Rules are meant to be broken."

……

Skyfire, the 1001st decisive battle - win, win 1001 times, lose 0 times, rated 9 stars...

At this time, in addition to the hall with lower consumption and higher traffic volume, the Killing Ground also has some highly private meditation rooms...

A burly man looked at the battle that ended in an instant on the screen in front of him, and a hearty smile appeared on his face when he recognized it.

"Okay, okay, rules are meant to be broken. This skyfire is really to my liking."

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the man in white robe who had just appeared in the battle next to him and asked:
"You are no match for him. How do you feel about fighting him?"

The burly man is named Ming Yu. He is an external deacon of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company stationed in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

And it was he who discovered the talents of Luo Feng and the other two in the killing field in the original novel, guided them not to waste time in the killing field, become peripheral personnel of the virtual universe, and led them to join the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance to fight for life and death, and finally catch up with the opportunity of the Thunder Realm Lord to enter the world within the world.

And it’s no coincidence that he does this.

Ming Yu is a subordinate of Man Luo, the person in charge of the killing field on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

His job is to find outstanding elite disciples for the Virtual Universe Company in the virtual universe within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The man in white robe in front of him was the special elite member he recruited for the Virtual Universe Company decades ago. He barely comprehended the domain at the planetary level, and now he has reached the seventh level of the fifth-order stellar domain.

But even so, he may be a talented disciple who can show some talent in the universe genius competition in a few years.

But even such a genius could not withstand even a single move from the white-haired swordsman.

The battle happened so quickly that even Mingyu, the domain lord, was unable to fully understand the opponent's strength level for a while.

Hence this question.

The man in white robe still had an expression of disbelief on his face.

The battle just now happened too fast, and he didn't have time to react at all, so he was defeated right away...

He is a top-notch genius in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain Universe Virtual Company and is basically the ceiling of geniuses in this area.

For example, the white-robed woman who easily defeated Lei Shen and Luo Feng in the original novel could only chase after him.

No one in the centralized training camp of the entire Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Universe Virtual Company was really confident that they could defeat him.

But here today, he finally realized what he was really doing. Fucking genius.

A thousand duels and a thousand instant kills, even when facing a strong man like him who is at the seventh level of the realm, it is still the same.

The other party's field level is at least two or three levels higher than his.

Maybe even beyond...

But his cultivation level is about the same as his, only at the first level of the star level...

"Where did this pervert come from?"

In an instant, the man in white robe turned into a bitter face.

Thinking about the promises I made at the beginning and all the trash I said on the battlefield, I felt like my face was slowly slipping away.

Really are……

"Well, how shameful!"

Of course, although he had some complaints in his heart, the man in white robe did not dare to slack off when facing Mingyu's questions.

He bowed slightly and then gave his guess.

"It is not impossible to reach the eighth or even ninth realm."

"The other party might have even touched upon the law."

"It's just that the gap in strength is too big. I don't have the qualifications to let him exert his full strength."

Mingyu did not pay too much attention to the slightly frustrated words of the man in white robe, nor did he make too many comments on the other party's performance of standing in front of him with confidence and then being killed instantly in one move.

Just looking at the video in front of him, a faint light appeared in his eyes, and his expression showed obvious excitement.

"Okay, I roughly understand that your contribution points have been credited to your account. You can go back first."

In response to this, the man in white robe did not stay here for long. He turned around and exited the virtual universe to continue his training.

It was so humiliating to be killed instantly after a bunch of trash talk. Now he has made up his mind that unless he cultivates to the ninth level of the realm, he will never come out again!
Not caring about the disappearance of the man in white robe, Mingyu sat up directly from the sofa and sent a string of information through the virtual universe.

But after waiting for a while, there was indeed no reply.

But he was not in a hurry and waited quietly there.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that a white-haired figure appeared in front of him.

"I've met my lord."

Looking at the "Skyfire" in front of him with its eyes slightly closed and bowing to him, Ming Yu showed a somewhat satisfied expression on his face, nodded slightly and said:

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Mingyu, an external steward of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company stationed in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. You can call me Mr. Mingyu or Lord Mingyu."

"Okay, Mr. Mingyu."

"You're welcome, kid~" Looking at the white-haired man in front of him, Mingyu smiled slightly and didn't care too much about the issue of address.

He didn't waste too much time and just said:

"After knowing my identity, why did I call you here? I believe you have some considerations in your mind."

"My Virtual Universe Company is collecting genius elites from many universe countries, and even among the geniuses, your performance is absolutely top-notch."

As he spoke, Mingyu pointed to the screen that suddenly appeared in front of him and said:

"I once arranged for a company elite to fight against you. It was him."

As he spoke, "Tianhuo" saw clearly the figure in the video. It was the man in white robe with a knife who had fought with him not long ago.

"It seems that a special genius from our Black Dragon Mountain Star Region Universe Virtual Company branch has reached the seventh level."

"Your strength is far superior to his. If I'm guessing correctly, you should have comprehended the law of the origin of fire."

"Such a talent would rank among the best in the universe."

"Originally, I saw your talent but you stayed in the killing field all this time because I wanted someone to defeat you and give you a blow, so that you can realize your own shortcomings and the limitations of the killing field."

"Then I will suggest you go to other places to undergo life and death training, so as to achieve a breakthrough."

"Stop wasting time and resources in this killing field."

"But I didn't expect that you have already reached the level of understanding the laws."

"I'm not going to play tricks on you. I'm here to invite you to join the Universe Virtual Company and become an elite within the company."

"With your talent, you will definitely become a special elite once you join. Your treatment will even be much better than that of ordinary special elites."

"Not only can you get the evolutionary potion distributed within the company to improve your bloodline level, you can even be assigned a domain master or even a realm master as a teacher."

"I can provide you with a variety of rare secret techniques not available in the outside world, as well as expensive energy liquids as materials for improving your strength."

"In addition, I can also sponsor you 30 million universe coins privately."

"The evolution potion can directly upgrade your bloodline to the first-class bloodline, allowing you to reach the level of a domain master even without practicing."

"It can make it easier for you to feel the power of the law."

"A world master-level teacher can also guide you to practice in the right direction so that you don't go astray."

"For example, nutritious meals and nutrient solutions can allow you to directly go through the process of accumulating energy and concentrate on comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe."

"The funds provided at the end can also allow you to buy all kinds of things you want."

"This is the maximum amount of resources I can promise you with my authority."

"But if your performance can be conveyed to the headquarters and get the attention of a more powerful person, your treatment should be able to be further improved."

"I wonder what you think?"

In response, the white-haired man was silent for a moment, and did not refuse. He just thought for a moment and then asked a question.

"As an insider of the Universe Virtual Company, can I still participate in the Universe Genius Tournament six years later?"

Hearing this, Mingyu was stunned at first and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, that's right~, how could a genius like you not be eager to fight against the geniuses from other universes?"

"Yes, of course."

"Not to mention the internal staff of the Virtual Universe Company, even the core disciples of the Great Axe Duel Field are not without participation in the Universe Genius Battle held by the Virtual Universe Company."

"There is also a route for internal talent selection to enter the core layer of the virtual universe company."

"These are just two different channels for selecting talents. There is no clear hierarchy."

"Whether you become the core member of the Universe Virtual Company through the Universe Genius Competition or the test in the training camp, as the guide who introduced you to the company, I will receive a lot of resource rewards."

"Of course there's no reason to stop you from attending."

Upon hearing this, Skyfire nodded slightly and said:

"Then I do."

Seeing this, Ming Yulian's expression, which was already a little excited, became even more attentive at this moment.

Without any hesitation, he transferred 30 million universe coins into Tianhuo's virtual universe account in front of him.

Then he reached out and took out the contract and handed it to the other party. It can be said that he was full of sincerity.

However, at this moment, Ming Yu belatedly remembered something and added:

"Oh, by the way, Skyfire, I don't think I have asked you about your bloodline level and real name yet. Is your real name Skyfire?"

"No~"

Tianhuo didn't say anything more. He silently wrote his name on the contract and handed it back to the other party. The name written on the contract was...

"My name is Kevin Kaslana..."

"As for the bloodline level..."

"Ninth grade."

……

Similar things also happened in various intermediate empires centered around the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

For example, similar things are happening in the Thousand Eyes Empire and the Qianwu Dojo of the Qianwu Empire next to the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

The realm master-level strongman, who was covered with black hair and looked like a chimpanzee, looked at the man in front of him with golden hair and a golden Rubik's Cube floating beside him. When he opened his mouth, it was like a thunderclap.

"Destiny? Your code name is quite impressive. I hope you can achieve something worthy of this code name in the future."

"Congratulations on passing the test and joining the Qianwu Secret Realm."

"As a reward for first place, I will give you one trillion Qianwu coins."

"Now tell me your name."

In response to this, the blond man who had been playing with the Rubik's Cube with his head slightly lowered raised his head slightly and gave a meaningful smile.

"Thank you, Lord of Black Mountain~"

"My name is Otto Apokalis..."

……

Even outside the Qianwu Empire, similar things happened.

The Kunyao Empire borders the Qianwu Empire.

Outside the Giant Axe Fighting Arena...

An immortal god radiating golden light looked at the man in front of him holding two swords, emitting a faint mist, and with a strange glass bead hanging on his waist, and said:

"You are the young master?"

"Eight hundred and forty-seven consecutive victories in the Giant Axe Arena?"

"Not bad~"

"I am the commander of the Ninth Army of the Kunyao Empire. I would like to accept you as my disciple. Your talent is qualified to participate in the Universe's Top Genius Competition in a few years."

"In the next few years, I will provide you with resources, secrets, and guidance. In return, you will need to participate in the Universe Genius Competition and at least become one of the top 1,000 players in the Kunyao Empire."

"And do your best to get at least the top 10,000 in the Universe Genius Competition."

"This is the condition I discussed with you a few days ago."

"I wonder what you are thinking now?"

Hearing this, he did not refuse and bowed slightly to the immortal-level strong man opposite him.

"Disciple, Tartaglia, greets the Master..."

……

These things happened sooner or later, but basically they all happened within these two years...

And the result of this is...

"Congratulations on your Cosmic Bank account, 10 million Cosmic Coins..."

Hearing the prompt sound in his ear, Wu He, who had just walked out of the Universe Galaxy Bank, curled up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and his steps forward became three times lighter.

Looking at Wu He who was walking in front, Babata behind waited for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Wu He, haven't you been with us for the past two years? Where did you get all this money?!"

Looking behind him, Babata's face was full of "I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked" expression. Wu He glanced at the 3 billion universe coins, 7 trillion Qianwu coins, and tens of trillions of black dragon coins in his real-time account, as well as many other miscellaneous currencies from other universe countries, and the smile on his lips did not diminish at all.

"Who knows?"

"Maybe I made a few friends in the universe recently, and they saw that I was short of money, so they gave me a little money."

Seeing the look on Wu He's face, Babata realized that it was impossible for him to learn anything from this guy, and he curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

But at this moment, Swallow Wu He seemed to have thought of something and tilted his head slightly, looking at Babata and said:

"Speaking of which, Babata~, what do you say if a person learns the secret method of clones?"

"And several of the clones are human."

"What will happen if they both participate in the Universe Genius Battle at the same time?"

“Will the probability of getting a rank be greater?”

Hearing this, Babata was stunned, and then looked at Luo Feng beside him.

Two years later, Luo Feng's human incarnation has been upgraded to the stellar level, while the golden-horned beast clone has reached the ninth level of the stellar level and is not far from the cosmic level.

After reaching the cosmic level, the golden-horned beast should be able to obtain the domain naturally with its talent.

At the same time, Luo Feng can get another chance to condense his clone.

If there were two clones participating in the battle of cosmic geniuses.

According to the qualifying system, if two clones are in the same competition area, helping each other, and even gaining points by fighting each other when the points are not enough, they may actually have a chance to get a ranking.

Even in the following three years of reincarnation war, the talent and cultivation of the golden-horned beast will definitely continue to improve, and Luo Feng's domain and even the laws may also be improved step by step.

If you are lucky, it is not impossible to get a ranking.

But as soon as this thought appeared, it was directly shattered by Babata.

He simply shook his head vigorously, rejecting this bold idea.

"No, the opportunity to clone the Golden Horned Beast is very precious. The three clones are not meant for this kind of thing."

"After winning a place in the Universe Genius Competition, the resources you can obtain are precious, but they are not irreplaceable."

"And even if you do that, you may not be able to get a rank, after all, you have been training for too short a time."

"It's not worth wasting such a precious spot on something that's still uncertain."

"In comparison, it is better to use the remains of those special lives to condense an avatar that can help us comprehend the higher laws."

"What's more, the virtual universe itself will also identify the identity and soul fluctuations of the contestants."

"Things like household registration are all tied to soul fluctuations!"

"Although the clone is called a clone, its soul fluctuations are still the same as the original body!"

"Unless one can change the fluctuations of the soul, such a thing is impossible no matter how hard one thinks about it."

"Even if there really is such a secret method, there will definitely be quite a lot of Realm Masters and even Immortals participating in the Universe Genius Tournament."

"The clone is also participating in this kind of thing, which is obviously cheating. This kind of thing that violates the rules of the Universe Genius Competition will never be allowed to happen by a behemoth like the Universe Virtual Company!"

"This is the rule established by the Universal Virtual Company! It is absolutely impossible to break it!"

Seeing Babata's resolute expression of not believing that such a thing could happen, Wu He smiled slightly, but did not refute. He just stretched out his hands and rested his head...

"That's true, who knows~, maybe~"
