Swallowed Star: Copy God

Most geniuses think alike. They understand their own strength and know they can't rank at the top within their respective universe countries. Therefore, they don't expect to obtain one of the final one thousand core member slots in the Virtual Universe Company. From the very beginning, they exert all their effort to pass the levels, aiming to have a chance to enter the top ten thousand or even the top one thousand in the early stages. This way, they can claim a praiseworthy achievement.

However, while the idea is beautiful, the reality is incredibly cruel.

Even when facing the relatively simple first trial tower, the speed of these ordinary geniuses is far behind that of the truly elite geniuses. Therefore, when everyone is going all out to pass the levels at the beginning, those who rank at the top in terms of points are still those talented and monstrous individuals with strong inherent abilities.

It didn't take Ye Yun much time to kill the ten thousand Blood-haired Mammoths on the first level of the first trial tower, but his speed wasn't the fastest. After checking the point rankings, he found himself outside the top ten thousand. Bolan was far ahead in the lead. Those in the top one hundred had basically entered the third level of the first trial tower, much faster than him.

Ye Yun gently shook his head. His self-made throwing wheels had just been completed and only possessed theoretical power. They hadn't been used in actual combat yet. So, taking advantage of this opportunity to pass the trial tower levels, Ye Yun began to familiarize himself with his first manufactured throwing wheel psychic weapon. During the initial familiarization phase, his speed in killing ferocious beasts naturally wouldn't be particularly fast. If he had used the Glacial Nine-Section Spear from the start, he could have easily rushed into the top three.

After personally testing it in combat, Ye Yun was very satisfied with the throwing wheel psychic weapon. With the Space Origin Law as its foundation and the fusion of the other Five Elements Origin Laws, it could be said to possess the characteristics of traditional psychic weapons, as well as the advantages of bizarre unpredictability. It could choose different combat methods according to different opponents, which meant it had no shortcomings.

Moreover, what Ye Yun cared about most was that after thoroughly understanding the process of manufacturing the throwing wheel psychic weapon, he faintly felt a strange sensation of creating his own secret technique. Although this feeling wasn't particularly clear yet, Ye Yun knew in his heart that he should be on the right path. As long as he continued down this path, he would eventually create his own first secret technique.

Ye Yun was teleported to the second level. The opponents on this level were 10,000 demon beast 'Nine-headed Pythons'. Demon beasts were also intelligent races, even ranking among the peak races of the universe like humans. Therefore, although these 'Nine-headed Pythons' weren't as ferocious as the Blood-haired Mammoths, they possessed extremely high intelligence and weren't easy to deal with.

At this time, Ye Yun's mastery of the throwing wheel psychic weapon was obviously much more familiar. When he exerted his full strength, the speed of killing these 'Nine-headed Pythons' was many times faster than when he was on the first level. In just a few minutes, Ye Yun stepped into the third level.

After experiencing the 1,000 metal life Tuoluo tribe warriors on the third level, the 1,000 special ferocious beasts 'Flying Hǒu' on the fourth level, the 100 mechanical tribe puppets on the fifth level, and the ten Starry Sky Behemoths 'Cang' on the sixth level, Ye Yun's point ranking began to soar. By the time he entered the seventh level of the first trial tower, his point ranking had already reached ninth place.

This stage of the trial space selection is not broadcasted to the outside world. The outside world can only see the changes in the point ranking list. However, the immortal powerhouses leading the teams from the various universe countries in this special space can observe the trial performance of each contestant.

The giant in scale armor, Shisan, who originally had a slightly furrowed brow, finally relaxed after seeing Ye Yun enter the top ten. However, he still secretly supported his forehead because he saw that the psychic weapon Ye Yun was using was something he had never seen before, which meant that Ye Yun hadn't shown his full strength. However, since Ye Yun could still maintain a ranking within the top ten, Shisan wasn't worried.

However, after seeing Luo Feng's ranking and checking the details, Shisan's mood became a little bad again. He knew Luo Feng's strength. Rushing into the top one hundred overall shouldn't be a problem at all. Moreover, the assessment rules of this trial tower were even more favorable to spiritual masters. No matter what, Luo Feng should be ranked in the top one thousand, but now he was ranked at the bottom, outside the millionth place, which really made Shisan feel uncomfortable.

Shisan saw Luo Feng sitting cross-legged on the open space on the first level of the first trial tower. Only Luo Feng and two or three injured Blood-haired Mammoths remained in the entire space of the first level. Seeing this, Shisan understood Luo Feng's intentions. He was obviously prepared to stay on the first level for the full ten days, delaying the time as much as possible, and didn't care about the outside ranking or what others thought of him.

'This kid, is he really treating this place as a place for cultivation?'

The Virtual Universe Company would produce promotional videos for the contestants who had entered the top one thousand in the trial tower point rankings, recording the wonderful moments of their level progression. Therefore, after the trial tower competition began, as long as there were geniuses from their universe country who entered the top one thousand, all of them felt honored and their excitement and pride were completely uncontrollable.

The Nuoya Universe Country, the Ganwu Universe Country, the Mancar Star, and so on, every citizen was caught in excitement and ecstasy.

However, Ye Yun was unaware of all this. At this time, he had passed the sixth level of the first trial tower and entered the space of the seventh level. He saw a vast desert, and in the center of the desert's green space was a huge sphere, about sixty meters in diameter. The sphere had some bumps and emitted some poisonous gas, looking strange and mysterious.

'Is this the Zerg Nest?'

The Zerg is a very peculiar race in the universe, ranking among the peak groups of the universe like the Human Race and the Demon Race. However, the true intelligent life among them is very rare. Except for a few mutated existences, they are basically organized by nests, which are also the most important component of the Zerg.

In reality, each Zerg Nest is at least equivalent to a Domain Lord level powerhouse, and many are even powerful existences above the Immortal level. These Zerg Nests within the trial tower are weakened versions simulated by the Virtual Universe, only for assessing these geniuses.

However, even if it is just a weakened version, the Zerg Nest at the same stage can still be called one of the most difficult opponents to deal with. As long as they are given time to develop, one will almost face an endless ocean of Zergs. As the final level of each trial tower, the difficulty is very high.
