Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"This Lingtu... is too arrogant!"

After Venerable Lingtu left, an ancient Venerable Universe couldn't help but said angrily: "You don't take us seriously at all!"

"Lingtu has always been like this. He has always had problems with us."

Another ancient venerable whispered: "When we formulated the tests for him during his training at the core level, he was very upset."

"Isn't it just a test of human nature?"

Venerable Ma Hu, who had met Li Qi before, was wearing a white battle robe and had many secret patterns on his skin like tattoos. He said in a deep voice, "What's more, we helped him and let him see the true face of his lover. , he should thank me."

"Menghu, you did indeed do something wrong in that matter..."

An ancient sage who was in the endless darkness sighed, "Humanity often cannot stand the test."

"I don't think so!"

Venerable Maohu retorted: "Didn't we designate Venerable Konghe's original mission with the highest points at the Domain Lord level based on the standards that test human nature?"

"so what?"

An ancient venerable person exuding the aura of endless life said, "Is the mission you set to achieve the highest points necessarily related to Venerable Konghe's current achievements?"

Venerable Mahu frowned and said, "Why not? I..."

"Okay, Maohu! Now is not the time to discuss this."

An ancient venerable person surrounded by thunder and lightning stopped him, "Venerable Konghe is going to preside over this peak talent competition, and we need to inform Yatu about this."

"Can Yatu have any opinions?"

The ancient venerable who was the first to speak said nonchalantly: "This time, venerable Konghe is going to preside over the genius battle. What can a mid-level venerable Yatu do?"

"No matter what, we still have to inform Yatu."

An ancient venerable suggested: "Let him preside over the next peak battle."

"Huh? Hasn't the host of the next pinnacle battle been decided?"

An ancient venerable said in confusion: "It will be presided over by Copeland. He once presided over the genius competition that the venerable Konghe participated in."

"Then let's arrange it further down the line." An ancient venerable said impatiently.

"In the future, let’s not talk about the person who will host the battle between geniuses and the strong man."

The ancient venerable exuding the breath of endless life said: "We want to make this genius battle even more beautiful!"

"Well, yes, it has to be done beautifully."

"We can't let that guy Lingtu look down on me!"

"I propose that the genius battle hosted by Lord Konghe release two places in the original secret realm."

"Second."

…

The central mountain range of Thunder Island, the palace on the top of the mountain.

"Junior brother, you just need to host the genius battle. The other old guys will help you with it."

Lord Lingtu returned and sat on the throne again, laughing loudly and saying: "You don't know, when those old guys know that you are going to host the genius battle, their faces will be wonderful!"

"Thank you, senior brother."

Li Qi smiled and thanked him. It could be seen from the smile of the Seventh Senior Brother that those ancient sages were disgusted.

…

Virtual universe, central mountain range of Thunder Island.

On a beautiful island in the middle of the lake, several cosmic lords were drinking and talking, and suddenly one of them suddenly changed his expression.

"Yapu, what's wrong?" The bearman Universe Venerable on the side asked curiously.

"I preside over the genius battle..."

Venerable Ya Tu, who was wearing golden armor, had an ugly expression on his face, "He was robbed!"

"Huh? What?!"

"Is there anyone trying to host the talent competition?"

"Who is so boring and wants to offend people for this?"

The other cosmic lords were surprised when they heard this.

Hosting a genius battle is, to them, the lords of the universe, just better than nothing.

Although according to the unspoken rules, whoever presides over the peak genius battle or the strong battle will belong to whomever the geniuses trained in that period will belong to in the future.

But they, the cosmic lords, have a noble status. It is easy for them to make kings and immortal subordinates. If they show their intention, there will be a lot of kings and immortals who are willing to join their ranks.

Of course, these immortal kings who have taken refuge under their command are mostly kings who are not recognized by the ethnic group, or some junior kings who are recognized.

For example, the Immortal King who can enter Hongmeng City is at least as powerful as a high-level King, and the recruitment cost is relatively high.

Hosting the peak talent competition or the strong competition is a bit of a lottery, it all depends on luck.

If you are lucky enough to win a big prize, you may have a peak immortal king born under your command.

But if you are unlucky and have one poor talent, it is not impossible that immortality will not be born.

In addition, it is also possible that, like Lord Copeland, the genius born at that time was too talented and was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Universe or a greater being, and directly broke away from his affiliation.

"I don't know who it is, I just received a notification from the highest level of the company."

There was a look of displeasure on Venerable Yatu's face, "I would like to ask which Venerable stepped in and made the highest level accept his opinion."

With that said, he sent an email to inquire, and the other party soon responded via email.

"Well! This..."

When he saw the information in the email, Venerable Yatu looked shocked, "It's actually Venerable Konghe!"

"What, Lord Konghe?!"

"Isn't it possible?"

"That's right, how can a powerful person like the overlord of the universe be willing to preside over a battle of peak geniuses?"

When the other Universe Venerables heard this, they looked shocked at first, and then expressed disbelief.

Venerable Konghe is the Seven-Star Overlord of the Universe, and is considered to be the fourth top universe overlord of mankind in the future, second only to the great existence of the Lord of the Universe.

If a strong man like Venerable Konghe recruits immortal kings, many two- and three-star immortal kings in the Hongmeng are willing to join him.

If the scope of recruitment is expanded to alien races, it is estimated that many alien four-star invincible immortal kings will try their best to join the Seven-Star Overlord Konghe.

"If someone else said it, I wouldn't believe it, but this is an email from the top management of the Virtual Universe Company."

Venerable Yatu smiled bitterly and said, "What virtue and ability do I have to let Venerable Konghe take a fancy to me to host this peak genius battle."

It is impossible to say that Venerable Yatu has no objection to being robbed of the opportunity to host the genius battle. Even if it is Venerable Konghe, the newly rising universe overlord, he still has some small opinions in his heart.

"Ya Tu, relax."

A Universe Venerable advised: "Venerable Konghe is of noble status, but he has been practicing for less than 100,000 years since he participated in the Genius Tournament. He is probably curious about hosting the Genius Tournament."

"That's right."

Another Universe Venerable also said: "Venerable Konghe also joined our virtual universe company through the Genius Tournament. He probably wants to host a Genius Tournament for fun."

"You may not know that the email I just received shows that there will be two places for the original secret realm in this Genius Tournament."

Ya Tu Venerable said with emotion: "It is only the universe overlord like Venerable Konghe who will host it. Otherwise, Universe Venerables like us will only have one place."

"Two places for the original secret realm?"

"This...just give out two places?"    "It's unexpected that two places are given out before the competition starts."

"With the style of the top leaders, they shouldn't do this..."

The Universe Venerables were a little surprised when they heard this.

The top management of the Virtual Universe Company is notoriously stubborn and attaches great importance to the rules they set!

Only when the level of the top genius battle or the strong is extremely high, it is possible for the top management to release the second quota.

But the situation of releasing two quotas before the competition has started has never happened before!

"This genius battle is expected to be very lively."

"That's natural. There are no immortals under the command of Venerable Konghe. If you join his command through this genius battle, you may be given treasures or guidance in cultivation in the future."

"Venerable Konghe practices the way of the Wood and Sky Beast God. For other immortal kings who practice the way of the Wood and Sky Beast God, joining Venerable Konghe is a great opportunity."

"Existence like Venerable Konghe should create his own Chaos Monument? I don't know when Chaos City will have another Chaos Monument..."

On the island in the middle of the lake, several universe venerables continued to discuss.

…

When Venerable Ya Tu received the email from the top management of the Virtual Universe Company, the ruler of the 1008 Universe Country of the human race also received the email.

“The peak genius battle to be held by the Virtual Universe Company will be hosted by Venerable Konghe?!”

“Although Venerable Konghe is a newly rising universe overlord, he will surely become the fourth top universe overlord of our human race. How could he be willing to host the peak genius battle?”

“It must be Venerable Konghe who will host it, otherwise how could the top management of the Virtual Universe Company release two original secret realm quotas.”

“Venerable Konghe does not have many immortals under his command. If the geniuses cultivated in the secret realm of our universe country can enter Venerable Konghe’s command through the genius battle, it would be good.”

“Venerable Konghe presides over the genius battle, doesn’t it mean that the competition in this genius battle is very fierce? Ha... I have an idea!”

After receiving the email, many of the universe country rulers were surprised, and they also wanted the geniuses cultivated in their country to enter the newly rising Venerable Konghe’s command.

Gulun Universe Country

This is one of the newly developed universes by the human race, and it belongs to the Virtual Universe Company.

Although this is a high-level universe, its territory is larger than many high-level universes, even half the area.

But it is a newly developed universe after all, and it looks even more desolate after the Hongmeng allies who originally lived in this universe moved away.

Venerable Gu Lun sat cross-legged on a white dwarf. When he received an email from the top management of the Virtual Universe Company, he was quite emotional.

"Although I have become the leader of a high-level universe, this newly developed high-level universe is too desolate!"

He looked at the light screen in front of him and said silently: "The Virtual Universe Company will also relocate some secret realm humans in the future to expand the population of the universe."

The newly developed universe is very desolate, and this territory previously belonged to the Hongmeng allies. Due to the different life forms, many life planets need to be transformed before they are suitable for human survival.

"It is precisely because the newly opened universe is too desolate that I have the opportunity to become the leader and control the power of one side."

Venerable Gu Lun thought to himself: "However, the number of people in my Gu Lun universe is dwindling. Even if we gather 1,000 people to participate in the finals of the genius competition, it will only be a formality..."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Venerable Gu Lun received several emails. He was a little surprised when he opened them. "Can it be like this?"

...

Qianwu Universe, Qianwu Star.

It is a super-large planet, where many major forces in Qianwu Universe are headquartered.

And in the most magnificent palace on this planet, the real body of the Lord of Qianwu sits on the throne.

"Venerable Konghe will preside over this genius competition..."

The Lord of Qianwu thought for a moment and really couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, given Venerable Konghe's conditions, it is inevitable to become the top cosmic overlord in the future, and my contribution will definitely be no less."

He said to himself: "Since there are two places in the original secret realm for this genius competition, I have to plan carefully."

"Isn't there no one in the newly opened universe country? Then I will send some people to the newly opened higher universe country and let them participate in the genius battle there!"

The leader of Ganwu Kingdom smiled and said, "The more people enter the finals, the higher the probability of entering the top 1,000."

Unlike other kings, the king of Ganwu Kingdom does not need to have a relationship with Li Qila.

Li Qi was born in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, his family is rooted in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and he has important family members who received key training in the Qianwu Secret Realm.

All of the above made Li Qi have a close relationship with the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, not counting such trivial matters as giving away secret books.

Therefore, he is not particularly concerned about whether the geniuses cultivated in the Qianwu Secret Realm can successfully enter Li Qi's command.

As long as he can enter the core layer of Virtual Universe Company, he can receive contribution rewards.

"I remember that Venerable Konghe has a good relationship with my named disciple. Unfortunately, my named disciple has not yet become immortal..."

The leader of the Ganwu Kingdom said to himself: "Well, this time it will be led by the Marquis Rongfu whom he has met."

…

Time passes, as the new peak talent battle draws closer.

Many immortals with low status have also found that this peak talent competition is unusual. Many immortals with high status have been trying their best to cultivate the geniuses under their command recently.

Although they don't know the specific reason, it makes them pay more attention to this talent competition!

…

When the registration for the Peak Talent Competition ends, the world auditions for the major advanced universe countries are about to begin.

On a planet where geniuses are cultivated by a certain medium-sized cosmic country, many world masters stand in the air.

"The Lord God has an order. Anyone who can enter the top 1,000 in the Universe Kingdom in this genius competition..."

A Realm Lord announced loudly: "Reward 10 galaxies as territory!"

boom!

As the world lord finished speaking, there was a lot of noise below.

"10 galaxies!"

"This...the elementary universe country in my hometown only has about a dozen galaxies."

"As expected of the eternal immortal god, this kind of reward..."

The stellar geniuses all showed excitement. For them, the territorial reward of 10 galaxies was too generous.

…

Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

Although the Lava Empire is still called the Lava Empire, in fact the Royce family has become the actual controller, and the original Lava Royal Family has been reduced to a mascot.

The lava secret realm is still a place where geniuses are cultivated.

At this moment, on a continent in the lava secret realm, tens of thousands of geniuses stood respectfully on the continent.

And many of these standing geniuses have vertical pupils, the vertical pupils of the Royce family!

Brilliant sky.

Relying on the accumulation of many resources, Royce, who has become the world master, and Ivanko Royce stand out of thin air.

"A new genius war is about to begin."

The third father, Ivanko, said in a deep voice: "In this genius competition, if any of you will enter the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"Then he will receive the reward of 10 galaxies, and he can also worship the powerful existence among the immortal gods!"

"Go and bring back the glory!"

Below, a group of geniuses responded in unison, "Yes!" (End of Chapter)
