Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 116 The Time Has Come
On March 2066, 3 in the Chinese calendar, in the virtual universe, the continent of Qianwu Universe.

The continents and islands in the virtual universe also have day and night, and even a star is simulated in the sky.

And at this moment, it is night.

There are lights in many places across the Qianwu Universe, and some bars and other places are even brighter than before. Everything is the same as in the past.

suddenly--

Above the night sky of the Qianwu Universe, an extremely huge black notice with glowing edges appeared out of nowhere.

On this completely black list, there are handwritings that emit dazzling white light.

"Humanity in the Universe - Battle of Peak Geniuses"

"Once in a million years!"

"Coming soon!"

"It is held by the Virtual Universe Company and all the universe countries together!"

"Are you a genius? Can't find an opponent at the same level? Then join the 'Peak Genius Battle'! Here, there will be a fierce battle between billions of geniuses from many cosmic countries in the entire universe!"

"For details, please visit the official website of the 'Virtual Universe Network' through the virtual assistant."

This huge notice suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the night sky. It was more than tens of millions miles long and wide. Even in the Qianwu Universe Country with a population of hundreds of millions, one could clearly see the notice by looking up on this continent!
"The top genius battle is about to begin? Wow, haha! It's going to be crazy."

"A battle between billions of geniuses in all universe countries?"

"A grand event for the entire human race!"

"I heard that there will be astonishingly huge rewards for those who rank in the top 1,000 in the entire universe."

"Yes! This year's event is held by the Virtual Universe Company, and the rewards must be very high."

"The Peak Genius Battle will be held twice every ten thousand years. One is held at the Virtual Universe Company, and the other is held at the Giant Axe Fighting Arena!"

"Hurry up and check out the official website."

……

In the virtual universe, huge notices appeared in the sky above every continent representing the "universe country" and every island representing the "medium-sized country in the universe".

Each list post is promoting the news that the "Universe Humanity - Top Genius Battle" is about to be held.

In just one night, this news spread throughout the entire human universe.

The speed of transmission is so fast that it shows the advancement of the virtual universe network.

……

Virtual universe, above the Qianwu plane.

A slightly smaller huge notice, a million miles long and wide, stretched across the entire plane.

In Wuji Island, in the central area manor, Wang Xiu stood in the manor and looked up at the huge notice in the sky.

"The battle of the top geniuses in the universe...is finally about to begin." Wang Xiu smiled, "It's time to go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiu's body disappeared within the manor.

A moment later, Anya appeared in the manor. After searching around the manor, she did not find Wang Xiu.

"Eh, this is so strange. Your Highness should be in the virtual universe right now, but why can't I find Your Highness?" An Ya scratched his head. "I was thinking of telling Your Highness the news about the start of the Universe Peak Genius Tournament."

"Forget it." Anya looked up at the huge list in the sky, "Maybe His Highness already knows it now."

……

On the Black Dragon Mountain Island, in the Kowloon Bay Manor Villa.

Wang Xiu, Lin Nianzhen, Xiao Letian, Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen all gathered in the living room of the villa, staring at the content on the screen in front of them.

"Third brother, look, this peak genius battle is divided into the universe country selection battle and the final peak showdown. Anyone who is at the star level can participate." Thor said with a smile.

"If you can enter the final battle and rank in the top 1,000 in the universe, you will receive three major rewards."

"First, you will receive a bonus ranging from 10 Hunyuan Units to 1 Hunyuan Units, depending on your ranking."

"Second, obtain a place to enter the initial universe for enlightenment."

"Third, you can become a 'core member' within the virtual universe company."

"Tsk tsk." Thor couldn't help but say, "I heard that this peak genius competition was held by the Virtual Universe Company. The Virtual Universe Company is indeed very wealthy."

"As long as you are in the top 10 in the entire universe, you can get at least Hunyuan Units."

"One Hunyuan unit can be exchanged for at least 400 trillion Qianwu coins, right?"

Wang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Second brother, the Virtual Universe Company is much richer than you think."

"10 Hunyuan units are nothing to the Virtual Universe Company."

"Of these three rewards, the most valuable are the last two: the opportunity to enter the initial universe and become a core member of the virtual universe company."

"Especially the third one, it's the most precious!"

"To be precise, the second reward is actually just an appendage of the third reward."

Thor stared with his eyes wide open and hadn't reacted yet when another voice rang out.

"You mean that every member who enters the core layer of the virtual universe will have the opportunity to enter the virtual universe to comprehend?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu looked at Babata, who was sitting on Luo Feng's shoulder and looked like an elf. The words just now were said by him.

At this moment, Babata's face was full of disbelief.

He didn't care about the bonus. Even the highest bonus of 10,000 Hunyuan units was far less than the legacy left by Huyan Bo.

But the second one is different.

When he followed Hu Yanbo to an auction before, he encountered an auction for the right to comprehend the initial universe. In terms of value, it was definitely much higher than the 10,000 Hunyuan units.

Even when his master Huyan Bo was still alive, he was reluctant to buy his disciple an opportunity to enter the original universe for comprehension.

But Wang Xiu just said that the second reward that he valued most was only a bonus attached to the third reward.

How could he accept this.

"Wang Xiu, are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Babata looked at Wang Xiu with a questioning look on his face.

“I don’t need to lie to you about this.” Wang Xiu said with a smile, “As you all know, when I first entered the Qianwu Secret Realm, I was accepted as a disciple by a Marquis Immortal.”

“He told me all this.”

"Every core member of the Virtual Universe Company has an opportunity to enter the initial universe for enlightenment in each major realm, and if they can meet other requirements, they can also get additional enlightenment opportunities."

"The benefits of becoming a core member of the Virtual Universe Company go beyond this."

"In the treasure house of the Virtual Universe Company, there are many secret manuals and treasures that cannot be found in the outside world. You can easily get them as long as you have enough points."

"It is said that there are some secret treasures among them, and even the high and mighty Lord Qianwu is coveting them."

"Moreover, every core member of the Virtual Universe Company does not need to work hard to absorb cosmic energy and cultivate genetic energy and spiritual power."

"Before you achieve immortality, as long as you break through a major realm, the Virtual Universe Company will be responsible for providing an energy chamber to strengthen your genetic energy and mental power to the peak of your current realm."

“You just need to comprehend the laws and practice the secret techniques.” “It’s simply… this is too…” Babata was so shocked that he was speechless.

As for the secret techniques and treasures that Wang Xiu mentioned, Babata had never actually seen the contents, so he didn't have much feeling about them.

After all, Yunmo Star also had its own treasure house in the past, so in his opinion it should be about the same.

However, this training method of unconditionally supplying core members with energy accumulation shocked him.

Even his master Huyan Bo, a barely-nobled man, could not afford this kind of training.

"With this kind of training method, no wonder the Virtual Universe Company only wants the top 1,000 in the entire universe..." Babata shook his head, then looked at Luo Feng beside him, his eyes full of excitement, "Luo Feng, you must participate in this peak genius battle!"

"It doesn't matter if we fail this time." Babata said urgently, "The Peak Genius Battle is held twice every ten thousand years. This time it is held by the Virtual Universe Company, and five thousand years later, it will be held at the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

"With your talent, even if you can't make it into the top 1,000 in the universe this time, you will definitely be able to make it next time."

"Since the core employees of Virtual Universe are treated so well, then the treatment at the Giant Axe Arena, which is as famous as Virtual Universe, must not be any worse."

Looking at Babata who looked very excited, Wang Xiu quickly stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Babata, don't be in a hurry."

"The virtual universe's top genius battle will last a long time, at least five or six years." Wang Xiu said with a smile, "After all, Luo Feng has only been in possession of the golden-horned beast for a short time. These five or six years are enough time for Luo Feng to grow."

"By then, there may be a chance for me to be among the top 1,000 in the universe."

Babata couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

Makes sense.

"Brother, brother, do you want to join us?" Seeing Babata calm down, Wang Xiu looked at Hong and Lei Shen standing beside him.

Hong and Lei Shen looked at each other and saw the desire for battle in each other's eyes.

"join!"

"Even if I can't get the reward, it's worth it to be able to compete with geniuses from all over the universe!" Hong nodded heavily.

Then, the three of them opened a screen in front of them and entered the registration page of the Virtual Universe Company's official website.

There is a very conspicuous line of numbers at the top of the webpage - 3948593889. After a few seconds, the numbers immediately jumped up a lot and became 4508299173.

Next to this number is a line of text in the universal language of the universe: "The number of applicants from Qianwu Universe Country".

"There are so many people signing up." Thor exclaimed.

"It's a lot." Luo Feng took a closer look, "Yes, there are more than 40 billion people."

"The entire Qianwu Universe has hundreds of millions of galaxies," Wang Xiu smiled, and then started to sign up.

After quickly filling in the registration information, Wang Xiu clicked the registration button.

Click the "Register" button.

"drop."

"Scan completed, stellar level ninth level genetic warrior, registration passed."

The virtual universe network is accessible, and the components connected to the network are capable of performing human strength scans, thereby confirming that the applicant is of stellar level.

Wang Xiu and his four companions signed up on the same day, but the registration deadline for the entire "Universe Humanity - Top Genius Battle" was still about a month away.

After all, it involves the entire human territory, a total of 1008 cosmic countries. If the time is too short, some people may not have time to sign up.

……

Time passed, and with the attention of humans in countless galaxies from many cosmic countries, the registration for the peak genius competition finally ended.

According to Chinese time, this day is April 2066, 4.

"Master, there is mail."

Wang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged in the Qianwu Secret Realm Manor, received the news and immediately entered the virtual universe network.

……

In the virtual universe, in the manor in the central area of ​​Wuji Island.

"Your Highness." Anya's voice rang out.

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded, then stepped aside and opened the email he had just received.

“Welcome to participate in the ‘Cosmic Humanity – Peak Genius’ selection competition.

In this selection, more than 8225 billion star-level masters from across the Qianwu Universe signed up to participate. This is 1100 billion more than the previous session. This is something that makes our Virtual Universe Company very happy.

We guarantee that everything in the talent selection competition will be held under ‘absolute fairness’.

Because some of the applicants are at the first or second level of the stellar level, and some are at the eighth or ninth level of the stellar level. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, the real geniuses will be selected...the real arena for elimination battles will be in the virtual universe. At that time, the physical fitness of all participants will be exactly the same and remain at the ninth level of the stellar level.

The same goes for everyone's mental power, which remains at the ninth level of the stellar level!

All participants have the same physical fitness and can choose any appearance! You can arbitrarily choose all levels of force weapons and telekinesis weapons (no more than 10 pieces. Participants are reminded that although the fourth- and fifth-order telekinesis weapons are powerful, they cannot be used if they are weak. It is recommended to choose the one that suits you best). At the same time, you can choose Force suit (no more than second level), you can get a space ring to store food.

Talent selection!

The tests are 'will', 'domain', 'experience', 'law perception', etc. The external conditions are the same for everyone.

This talent selection competition is divided into two stages.

In the first stage, the top 1000 masters from each major universe country were selected.

In the second stage, the top 1000 masters from each universe country will gather. All the geniuses from many universe countries gathered together for the final battle to determine the top 1000 in the universe's overall ranking.

in……

The big one is the first stage.

The universe country you are in is the Qianwu Universe Country.

Ganwu Universe has more than 8225 billion participants, divided into 'preliminary elimination' and 'arena decisive battle'.

Through pre-selection and elimination, more than 8225 billion participants will be eliminated and only one hundred and one hundred people will be left!

Because too many people were eliminated. The pre-selection eliminations are destined to be very bloody.

The preliminary elimination of Qianwu Universe. First, 100 worlds will be divided in the "virtual universe". Each world will be allocated more than 82 billion participants. More than 82 billion people will fight each other in the same world, and earn points by killing others. The more you kill, the more points you will get! Everyone has only one life, and it ends when you die.

Last time expires.

Looking at the final points ranking, those ranked in the top 1001 points in the world will be eliminated through the pre-selection. Each world selects 1001 people. 100 worlds means one hundred thousand and one hundred people are selected.

at the same time……

The points ranked first in each world can directly win 1000 places among the top 100 without the need for a decisive battle in the arena. The remaining 900 places can be competed for by the people in the arena. "

"There is an attachment at the end of this letter. Please see the attachment for more detailed information."

After reading it, Wang Xiu closed the email.

"Your Highness, is the battle of the top geniuses in the universe about to begin?" Anya said with a smile upon seeing this.

"Well, it will officially start in a month." Wang Xiu nodded with a smile.
