The Start of Battle

"You and Luo Feng definitely don't need to worry."

Thunder God laughed and said, "You've all comprehended the Origin Law, and you're using the Controller's Nine Divine Weapons. Getting into the top 1,000 in the entire universe will be a piece of cake."

"As for me and Brother Hong, we'll see how things go."

"The top 1,000 in the Ganwu Universe Country doesn't seem very secure."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yan realized that since the statement wasn't entirely certain, it at least indicated some confidence. He asked, "What level is your domain at now?"

Thunder God replied, "I am a seventh-level Stellar level cultivator with Domain Seven Layers, Brother Hong is Stellar level six with an eighth-level Domain."

A desire for battle rose in Hong's eyes, and he said succinctly, "I can do it."

Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter what level of Stellar level you are. The Genius Battle is held in the Virtual Universe, where everyone's physical attributes are at the Stellar level nine, allowing them to exert even greater combat power than they do now."

"As for Thunder God, your domain is only at the seventh level, which is indeed somewhat dangerous. However, considering the secret techniques and your will, you should still have a chance. As long as your luck isn't too bad, you should at least be able to enter the top 10,000 of the Ganwu Universe Country and enter the Reincarnation Battle. If you can break through to the eighth level then, the possibility will be very high."

Domain is only one of the key factors in combat power. The fact that Hong and Thunder God Planetary level and make such rapid progress in their domains is inseparable from their state of mind.

Mental state is a somewhat mysterious thing, but it is very important. At the same level of the field, they can integrate more thoroughly, have stronger combat awareness, and with good secret techniques, Thunder God may not be worse than the other eight major fields.

As long as you're not too unlucky and don't encounter too strong enemies at the beginning, you'll have a chance if you're eliminated early. As for Hong, Lin Yan is still confident in his abilities.

Speaking of which, after Luo Feng Slave Soul Seal, he also purchased two Cosmic Level Nine servants to protect the Luo Family in the future. Although he didn't have time to travel all over the planets of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to strictly select them like Lin Yan did, one Mental Master and the other was a martial artist, both of whom had great potential.

The martial artist was at the ninth level of the Lightning Domain, while Lin Yan's other servant, "Wu Tu," was at the ninth level of the Light Domain. Hong and the Thunder God sometimes consulted them to avoid some detours.

Thunder God also received the secret techniques and Intelligent life form inherited from Thunder Lord Kabu. Under the guidance of that Intelligent life form, he trained relentlessly, which is how he reached his current level.

Thunder God nodded emphatically. "I'm going all out this time! I can't let my brothers down, and I don't want to fall behind here."

The four looked at each other, their eyes filled with confidence and pride.

"Hahaha..."

"Then let's charge forward!"

A virtual screen appeared in front of them, leading them to the registration page of the Virtual Universe Company's official website.

At the very top of the webpage is a very conspicuous line of numbers—2066934873, and this number jumps rapidly to 2157883235. Next to this number is a line of Universal Language text: "Number of applicants from the Ganwu Universe Country".

"This 'suspended list' has only been out for such a short time, and the number of applicants has already exceeded 2.1 billion. This is too outrageous!" Thunder God's eyes widened.

Luo Feng said, "The entire Ganwu Universe Country has hundreds of millions of star systems."

Hong smiled slightly and said calmly, "This is a good thing for us; the more people involved, the better."

"Yes, the more people participate, the greater the benefits we can gain from achieving good results!" Luo Feng smiled.

Lin Yan nodded. "Among the Virtual Universe users, the majority are Planetary level and Stellar level. Those Stellar level users who have some confidence will choose to participate, so it's normal that there are so many people."

This sense of personal participation is very important. The Peak Genius Battle is not an elitist competition, but a grand event rooted in all of Cosmic Humans. At that time, it will be much easier to convert traffic.

Those who ultimately win in a competition leave a deeper impression on them and can enhance their desire to explore.

They also started registering, filling out the registration information and finally clicking the "Register" button.

"Drop!"

"Scan complete. Stellar level nine Mental Master. Registration approved."

The Virtual Universe Network can perform human strength scans through network-connected components, thereby determining whether an applicant is at the Stellar level.

The registration period for the entire "Cosmic Humans - Peak Genius Battle" will last for one month, and naturally, they will seize this last bit of time to sprint and improve their strength.

A vast divine kingdom, within which hang Flame Mountain.

A figure with crimson hair, whose entire body was faintly bathed in flames, stood in mid-air. Beside him stood World Master, while in front of him knelt thousands of young people at the Stellar level.

"You are the most elite disciples of my 'Skyfire Divine Kingdom'."

"If any of you can pass the initial selection and enter the Arena Battle, I will take you as my personal disciple. If you can break into the top 1,000 of the Universe Country, I will grant you a star system as your territory!"

A majestic, thunderous voice echoed, and the deity within the flames coldly said, "Now, all of you go and prepare. Don't disappoint me."

"Yes, Divine Lord!"

More than a thousand young people responded respectfully.

"Genius Battle? Across the entire universe and numerous Universe Country?"

A burly young man with messy hair, standing at least three meters tall, and bare feet let out a hearty laugh, "Interesting! Then I 'Tu Man go and take first place back!"

"Go participate in the Cosmic Genius Battle. Only by entering a place like the Virtual Universe Company can you find a teacher suitable to teach a genius like you."

A white-robed, bald figure gradually disappeared. "Come find me again when you achieve immortality."

"Teacher..." The young man in white, carrying Blood-colored long sword on his back, trembled, but ultimately said nothing.

He let out a soft exclamation. "Genius Battle?"

White Robe and Blood Sword.

His name is Bolan.

In the vast universe, all the major Universe Country, countless divine kingdoms, and countless geniuses have noticed this super battle that covers the entire Universe Country.

They were enthusiastic and full of pride.

Time passes.

Registration closes on April 16, 2066.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Crescent Bay Villa.

Lin Yan sat on the sofa, and a screen automatically appeared in front of him. He opened an email he had just received.

The above describes the rules of the Peak Genius Battle.

Within the Ganwu Universe Country, over 822.5 billion Stellar level experts have registered to participate. Some are at the Stellar level one, while others are at the eighth or ninth Stellar level. Therefore, for fairness, all participants will have identical physical attributes and Psionic Strength, maintaining the same level as the Stellar level nine.

You can freely choose any Origin Force weapon or psychic weapon of any grade (no more than 10 pieces), and you can also choose Force Battle Suit (no more than Tier 2).

The talent selection competition is divided into two main stages.

In the first phase, the top 1000 will be selected from the major Universe Country.

In the second stage, the top 1,000 experts from each Universe Country gather together, and all the geniuses from various Universe Country come together for a final battle to determine the top 1,000 in the overall universe ranking.

The top 1000 in the universe will receive three major rewards: First, a prize ranging from 10 to 10,000 Hun Yuan Unit on their ranking. Second, they will receive a spot to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment. Third, they can become "Core Member" within the Virtual Universe Company.

In...

The first stage is divided into "Preliminary Elimination" and "final battle".

Take the Ganwu Universe Country as an example.

First, the Virtual Universe will be divided into 100 worlds, with more than 8.2 billion participants in each world. These 8.2 billion people will fight each other in the same world, killing others to earn points. The more you kill, the more points you get!

Each person has only one life.

Until the deadline, the final rankings will be determined by points, with 1001 people selected from each world, totaling 100,010 people across 100 worlds.

The player ranked first in the world by points will directly win 100 of the top 1000 spots without needing to participate in a ring battle. The remaining 900 spots will be contested by the 100,000 players in a ring battle.

May 16, 2066.

This day was the day for the "preliminary selection" gathering of the Ganwu Universe Country.

"You are the future elites and pillars of our Ganwu Universe Country."

"I hope that you will occupy at least half of those 100,100 spots!"

A deep, resonant voice that shook heaven and earth echoed across a vast cosmic sky. In this sky, a giant whose face was obscured stood in the void, the space around him subtly distorted. In the distance before the giant, countless young people knelt respectfully, their numbers seemingly endless.

"Go, children." The deep voice made the space tremble and even the souls tremble.

"Yes, Your Country Lord!"

Call!

Hundreds of millions of young people at the Stellar level vanished instantly, their existence altered by spatial displacement.

This moment!

Countless people are paying attention to this genius selection battle. In the Ganwu Universe Country, all 822.5 billion Stellar level experts have gathered together.

"The preliminary rounds will be divided into 100 World Zone."

"I'm from Zone 72, and you are?" Hong asked.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "I'm from Zone 1!"

"I'm from District 88, that's auspicious, Lin Yan, what about you?"

Lin Yan smiled and looked at Thunder God, as if to say something meaningful, "Your good fortune may just come true for me."

"Um?"

"Me too, from District 88."

Thank you to Plain Green Locust for the 500-point reward.
