Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"What do you mean the great Venerable Konghe who just came, participated in the Peak Genius Battle 90,000 years ago?"

"It takes 90,000 years to become a Universe Venerable... Unbelievable!"

"The life span of a Universe-level person is 100,000 years. Many Universe-level people cannot break through to become Domain Masters even if their life span is exhausted. But Venerable Konghe became a Venerable in just 100,000 years!"

"If I can break through to become a Realm Master in 90,000 years and be recognized by the Law, I will be satisfied. I dare not even think about becoming an Immortal."

Hearing the discussions of the immortals leading the team, those geniuses were shocked and sighed.

In their eyes, if they can pass the Peak Genius Battle, enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, or be cultivated in the cultivation secret realms of various universe countries, then there is a high probability of becoming an Immortal in the future.

Of course, the probability of becoming an Immortal by being cultivated in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company is much greater than that of the Universe Country Secret Realm.

This is also the reason why they came to participate in the Peak Genius Battle and compete to enter the Virtual Universe Company!

...

In the corner of the central square.

"Zhidun."

A genius ranked in the top 7300 in points asked in a low voice: "You are a member of the Royce family. Have you met the newly descended Venerable Konghe in private?"

"Although I am a member of the Royce family, I am still far from the core of the family."

Zhidun smiled bitterly: "What's more, a family like Royce, whose power is spread across multiple high-level cosmic countries, has at least hundreds of billions of members, and my branch alone has hundreds of millions of members."

"It is because of my outstanding talent that I have stepped out of the family's training system step by step. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for me to have the status I have today as a member of the Royce family!"

Finally, Zhidun shook his head and sighed: "Don't say me, many domain masters in the family have never seen Venerable Konghe . "

"Alas, we are all about the same, and my family has hundreds of millions of members."

Another genius born in a family sighed: "It's just that I have good talent, otherwise I would not have the opportunity to meet the immortal ancestors of the family."

"Don't show off if you are born in a big family!"

One day, a genius said indignantly: "I have come to this point today, and the energy and effort I have spent is far beyond what you can compare!"

"You have a world master teacher, what area do you have with us?"

Another genius retorted: "We geniuses at least have the guidance of the world master teacher, otherwise it would be impossible to get here!"

Indeed, geniuses like them who are ranked in the top 7,300 in the trial tower points have all comprehended the laws, and they are all instructed by the world master and the immortals.

Without the guidance of a teacher, very few can get here!

"Zhidun, your ancestor Konghe Zunzhe participated in the peak genius battle 90,000 years ago, and the final ranking should be first." Tiantian asked.

"I remember that according to family records, the ancestor was the second in the genius battle of that year." Zhidun replied.

"Second place?"

"Why is it second place? That is a great existence who has become a Venerable in 90,000 years!"

"Since Venerable Konghe is the second place, who is the first place?"

Some geniuses asked immediately after hearing this. They were very curious about the first place of that genius competition.

"I know this."

Another genius replied: "The first place of that genius competition was a genius named Ke Di. He broke into the seventh trial tower and passed the first floor."

"Ke Di, breaking through the seventh trial tower and passing the first floor, this is too strong!"

"It is indeed very strong. I broke into the first floor of the sixth trial tower, which is already the limit. The sixth trial tower is so difficult, let alone the seventh trial tower."

"You are the strongest among the geniuses of our generation. Others have not been able to break into the sixth trial tower. It seems that the genius named Ke Di is very powerful."

"Hehe, it's more than powerful. I heard from Lao Master once said that although Ke Di is now a realm master, his understanding of the law is close to that of a universe master! "

"No way! Will there be two universe masters in one genius competition?"

"How can it be so easy to become a universe master? I heard from my teacher that there are countless immortals who have a law understanding close to that of a universe master, but very few can finally become a master!"

"It is so difficult to become a master, but Kong He Master can still achieve it in 90,000 years. This talent and progress speed are really terrifying..."

As the geniuses and immortals talked, time gradually approached evening. The eliminated geniuses said goodbye and left, leaving only the geniuses who will participate in the finals tomorrow.

...

The next day, early morning.

The finals of the peak genius competition are about to begin. The geniuses who entered the finals and the immortals leading the teams of various universe countries gathered in the center of the beautiful square.

Boom!

Accompanied by the incomprehensible fluctuations of the law and the terrifying pressure of divine power, an ancient throne appeared in the sky.

Facing the sudden divine pressure, the immortal geniuses were mentally prepared, but when they really endured the terrifying pressure, they still couldn't breathe for a moment.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Under the divine pressure, the immortal geniuses saluted respectfully.

Fortunately, this divine pressure was much smaller than when Li Qi came yesterday, otherwise they would not be able to move at all.

"Yes."

Li Qi sat on the throne and looked down at the people below, nodding slightly, "Mule."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Mule, who was in front of the leading geniuses, saluted respectfully, and then turned around and announced: "The peak genius battle begins!"

As soon as the voice fell, the divine pressure on the immortal geniuses dissipated, and the geniuses ranked 100-7300 in points were teleported into the battle space.

"All immortals, please sit here."

Mule led the way and led the immortals of the Universe Nations to a corner, where there were many tables, chairs and drinks.

"You should also go to the other side to rest."

Li Qi's voice was not loud, and it was clearly heard by every genius.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

The geniuses saluted and then went to the other corner.

There were also many tables and chairs there, but there was no drink on the table.

...

The arena duel was fought for three rounds, and 900 geniuses were decided.

Together with the top 100 geniuses in points, a total of 1,000 people, who were the core members of the Virtual Universe Company selected in this peak genius battle.

Mule, who was waiting under Li Qi's throne, gathered 1,000 people and stood in the square in front of the throne.

In the distance.

The 6,300 eliminated geniuses looked at the 1,000 geniuses standing together and were extremely envious.

"I was just a little short. I only needed to win one more round to enter the list of 1,000 people, but I... lost!"

"I have made it to the stage of the peak genius competition, but I failed to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company..."

"The core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, if I can receive training there, the probability of becoming immortal in the future will be greatly increased."

"I lost. Now I can only go to the Noah Secret Realm of the Noah Universe Country to receive training. Although there is still hope of becoming immortal in the future, it is much worse than the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company."    One genius after another sighed softly. They were too close to entering the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, but they lost in the crucial three rounds of the ring duel and could only accept the result of failure.

...

"These little guys will become immortals in the future. As long as they are not too outstanding, they will be under my command."

Li Qi sat on the throne, overlooking the 1,000 geniuses standing respectfully below, and said silently: "But I don't know how many of them can successfully become immortals."

"Speaking of which, it is beyond my expectation that the younger generation of the fourth sister's family can enter the core layer of the virtual universe company." His eyes fell on Zhidun.

With the opponent's barely above-average strength, he was able to stand out from the 7,200 people participating in the ring battle. I don't know if it was good luck or someone was behind the scenes.

Li Qi was not interested in what happened.

A younger generation separated by countless generations, by chance, entered the core layer of the virtual universe company to be trained. Whether he can successfully grow into an immortal god in the future is still unknown.

"Miao Li." Li Qi transmitted the voice.

"Yes."

The white-maned wolf Muli stepped forward and said to the 1,000 geniuses: "First of all, congratulations on entering the core layer of my virtual universe company."

"However, the genius war is not over. You should understand that competition is always there in the universe, and there is competition everywhere."

"Not all of you 1,000 people can get the same treatment and the same training resources. If some people are treated well, there must be others who are treated poorly."

"So, next you have to rely on your own strength to fight for better treatment!"

Muli's sharp eyes swept across the geniuses, "Among the 1,000 of you, the 101st to the 1,000th will enter the secret realm of the end of the world. ..."

"No. 11-100, enter the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth..."

"No. 3-10, enter the Secret Realm of Taichu..."

"Due to special reasons, the first and second place will enter the Primordial Secret Realm..."

"Generally speaking, only one place in the Primordial Secret Realm is open in each Genius Battle, and only when multiple super geniuses are born, will our Virtual Universe Company open additional places."

Mulley explained: "The last time two places were opened was 90,000 years ago."

The geniuses who heard about the four secret realms for the first time were confused at first, because from the introduction, it seemed that the only difference between the four secret realms was the prize money.

However, when they learned that the first and second place could enter the Primordial Secret Realm.

And when two places in the Primordial Secret Realm were also opened 90,000 years ago, they all became enthusiastic.

Because they knew that the Venerable Konghe, who was sitting on the high throne now, won the second place in the Peak Genius Battle 90,000 years ago.

"Venerable Konghe can enter the original secret realm as the second place. The treatment in the original secret realm is obviously the best among the four secret realms."

"If I can enter the original secret realm, doesn't it mean that the probability of becoming immortal in the future... is extremely high!"

"Original secret realm, Venerable Konghe was able to let the virtual universe company open the second place, so why did they open two places this time?"

The geniuses are ready to go, intending to enter the original secret realm to get the best training through the next competition.

But then, Mu Li's words poured cold water on most of them.

"The 900 winners from the 101st to 7300th place in the Trial Tower will be selected by the Virtual Universe System to fight the top 100 one-on-one."

At this point, the immortal pressure emanating from Muli enveloped the 900 geniuses, "The Virtual Universe System is absolutely fair, so don't question the choice of the Virtual Universe System. If you don't agree, you don't have to join my Virtual Universe Company!"

Muli's words, as well as the immortal pressure that enveloped them, shocked those 900 geniuses who wanted to express their dissatisfaction!

Although they were shocked, they still showed dissatisfaction on their faces, but because of Muli's words and pressure, they swallowed the dissatisfaction they wanted to spit out.

In the corner.

The immortals leading the teams of the cosmic countries watched Muli's lecture and talked in low voices.

"The Venerable Konghe seems to trust the immortal named Muli very much."

"Hey, you don't know this. Muli's identity is not ordinary. He is the leader of the guard army of the Venerable Konghe during his training in the original secret realm."

"The leader of the guard army, he is indeed a confidant. He will be prosperous in the future!"

"Hehe, he is not going to be prosperous in the future, but he has already been prosperous. It is said that he has become a marquis immortal, and the title is Bai Lei Hou."

"Not only has he become a marquis immortal, it is said that the quality of his weapons and armor is extremely high, at least ninth grade!"

"Ninth grade weapons and armor? That is used by the peak king!"

The immortals leading the teams talked, causing exclamations from time to time.

When they learned about Muli's weapon and armor configuration, they were envious and even wanted to replace him.

However, they also knew that even if they surrendered to Venerable Konghe and joined his army, it would be difficult for them to achieve the same status as Muli, because the other party was the leader of the guard army before Venerable Konghe rose to power.

…

The genius battle continued, and the geniuses who entered the secret realm of heaven and earth, the secret realm of Taichu and the secret realm of the original were successively decided. So far, this genius battle officially ended.

With the end of the genius battle, Li Qi's consciousness left the virtual universe, and his real body did not go to the headquarters of the virtual universe company to lead the geniuses into the initial universe.

Like those trivial matters, he had no time to deal with them, so he directly sent an email to the top of the virtual universe company, and let those ancient universe venerables arrange it.

And because he presided over the peak genius battle, his state of mind was unexpectedly improved. In addition to the elevation of his soul consciousness to approach the master of the universe, he also vaguely felt that he could take the last step to become a universe venerable.

So after the genius battle ended, he went into seclusion to practice.

…

A thousand years later.

At the end of a magnificent and glorious palace in the Qianbao River territory of the original secret realm.

Li Qi, sitting on the throne, opened his eyes, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

"I seem to understand what's missing..."

He took out the Moyun vine from the world ring and teleported his kingdom away from the original secret realm.

...

Human territory.

A medium-sized universe country.

Li Qi sat in the control room of a C-class spaceship, tasting fruit wine alone.

"Practice should be relaxed, just like the road of life is also relaxed..."

While tasting the fruit wine, he whispered softly, "I have walked very fast along the way, and rarely have time to stop."

"The genius war a thousand years ago made me understand that I don't have to be so anxious. It's time to relax and travel in this universe."

"What a pity..."

Li Qi sighed lightly: "I can't leave the human territory, otherwise I can go to the vast universe to have a look..."

The threat of the three tribes is like a sword, always hanging over his head!

He did not intend to leave the human territory before he could temporarily resist the strength of the fourth and fifth-level universe master.

However, he felt that just traveling through the 1008 human universes would be enough to elevate his state of mind to a higher level, and his chances of breaking through to become a Venerable would also greatly increase! (End of this chapter)
