His Name

On Tianwu Peak.

The silence between heaven and earth faded away, twilight deepened, and the Black Crystal Vortex disintegrated and returned to the Gem Sword.

"What...what is this?" a burly, one-eyed man with blue horns roared in a deep voice.

His expression was incredibly complicated.

He knew what it was, of course. It was the second form of the Extreme Divine Weapon, a powerful move that even Cosmic level experts would find difficult to execute.

And--

At the Cosmic level or even higher, it might be possible to drive this ultimate move using only the Light Origin Law with powerful Psionic Strength, but at the Stellar level, it is impossible.

A higher level of understanding of the Origin Law is required.

In that instant, they all understood that he had crossed the threshold of the Time Origin Law!

This... this guy!

They actually encountered such a terrifying genius in the preliminary rounds. This "god" had never truly revealed his strength before, until now, until he met the Savage, he finally turned up this trump card!

"Gods..." A petite and adorable cat-eared girl murmured, looking at the calm and composed man standing on silver starlight, her eyes filled with admiration and worship.

"This is the divine!" she sighed softly.

They are beings they can only look up to.

They might have the ability to break into the top 10,000 or top 1,000 of the Ganwu Universe Country, but he is already looking towards the future of Tianyuan, aiming to compete for the supreme position of the top Genius Battle!

Yes!

Number one in the entire universe!

His goal will only be this, because his strength has reached a level that others cannot reach.

Thunder God, too, was gazing up at that man from a corner, a strange sense of pride and arrogance welling up within him. They had only taken their first step, touching just the tip of the Iceberg of this universe, and yet this man who had changed the fate of Earth had already amassed such a grand ambition in just a few short years.

Even the most magnificent universe will be trampled under his feet.

He thought back to a time during the Great Nirvana period, when he had just become Planetary level and had narrowly escaped death in a battle against the King level monster "Blood Demon Heavenly Wolf." At that time, he felt that the world had fallen into a dark apocalypse, but he never imagined that the fate of Earth Humanity could be like this.

At that moment, he never imagined that a genius like Lin Yan would appear in the future.

At this moment, he was witnessing, witnessing this legendary scene, watching Lin Yan, in his own way, step into this brand new universe—

To announce his arrival.

Inside the enormous building on the floating island above the Ganwu Continent.

Among those densely distributed thrones, each great and eternal being was utterly awestruck at this moment.

"Lin Yan actually has such a high level of understanding of the Time Law in addition to the Law of Light, and he can even unleash the second form of the Extreme Divine Weapon. It's unbelievable!"

"How long has it been since a battle of this caliber has occurred in all the previous Genius Battle of our Ganwu Universe Country?"

"More than three hundred years ago? Back then, the Iron Military Lord was still a seventh-level Stellar level being. In that battle, he should have been able to..." At this point, this eternal and immortal being hesitated.

"No!" A powerful, metallic voice rang out. "Back then, I was still slightly inferior to Rong Jun. As for Lin Yan, I'm afraid only Feng Yue from over six thousand years ago could barely compare."

More than six thousand years ago!

At this moment, a soft sigh rang out, "Yes, more than 34 million years have passed. By then, I had become immortal and witnessed this battle. In all the tens of thousands of generations, the Ganwu Universe Country has only won first place once. However, Feng Yue was of the wind attribute and used the God Splitting Weapon. But after Feng Yue joined the Virtual Universe Company and became World Master, he unfortunately perished during his life-and-death training in the Outer Domain Battlefield."

"The path to immortality is incredibly difficult, fraught with countless dangers. Especially for geniuses in the Virtual Universe Company, the competition is even fiercer, and the elimination rate is even higher. In the Ganwu Secret Realm, such a top genius would certainly be taken very seriously. However, in the Virtual Universe Company, the number of geniuses who fall is far greater than in our Ganwu Secret Realm."

"After all, what they want is a true top-tier expert."

"Um."

Iron Military Lord said, "However, in my opinion, Lin Yan is much stronger than Feng Yue was back then."

Why do you say that?

"Did you notice that Phantom Body during the battle with Rong Jun?"

"Yes, now that you mention it, I just remembered. I was wondering the same thing. He's not Space Law, so why can he create Phantom Body?"

"Actually, this is a technique used by a World Master in my Ganwu Universe Country more than 300,000 years ago. He was known as the 'Fensun World Lord.' This technique of Splitting Light and Shadow is one of his important secret techniques. Although he was World Master, he could easily break through the speed of light and enter the Dark Universe with his physical body. I didn't expect it to appear on Lin Yan again after so many years."

"I do know a little about that. This Fensun World Lord, like Lin Yan, came from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. It seems that Lin Yan obtained the treasure he left behind."

"Yes, no matter what kind of genius they are, they all need the help of opportunity. A treasure of a World Master is nothing. The fact that they can enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle is worth countless times more than the treasure of World Master."

"This time, Lin Yan will definitely rank first in our Universe Country, and ranking in the top ten in the universe is absolutely no problem. As for whether he can get the number one ranking in the universe, that is also very likely."

"Right."

"If it's Rong Jun, he can definitely enter the top 100, and there's even a slight chance of breaking into the top 10. It seems that our Ganwu Universe Country is really going to make a fortune this time."

I will report this matter to the Country Lord later.

"Thirteen, think it over again. Besides the Sky Purple Glazed Stone, I'll also give you a Chenluo Armor. Even if you don't need it, it's still worth tens of thousands of Hunyuan. I've shown you this much sincerity, so let me lead the Ganwu Universe Country this time."

The giant in the Scale Armor Robe smiled and said, "Haha, Eleven, give up on that idea. Maybe I'd consider it if you offered me the Yongluo Armor."

"Yongluo Armor, Thirteen, you're too greedy. I spent 870,000 Hunyuan to buy that. Don't even think about it."

"Ha ha..."

These eternal and majestic beings laughed, their hearts filled with joy. This Genius Battle had only just begun, and their Ganwu Universe Country was already the biggest winner.

This moment.

Countless people witnessed this scene.

During this time, Lin Yan's reputation had already spread far and wide, and the powerful figures from various forces watching the battle were all incredibly shocked.

Although he had successfully killed the Wildman Youth, Lin Yan, standing on the main peak, remained calm and quietly waited for the preliminary selection to end.

His solitary and insignificant figure stood alone atop the Heaven-Connecting Mountain Peak, amidst the sea of clouds and the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a solitary and unmoving presence.

This calm and composed demeanor, this tranquil mind, remained unmoved even after such a victory.

Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel admiration. His strength, comprehension, talent, and temperament were all outstanding. Only someone like him could become the most outstanding genius among the countless human races in this vast universe.

In this preliminary round, Lin Yan killed countless people, leaving a trail of blood. But behind this frenzied killing was a pure and innocent Glazed Heart. He had no murderous intent, no anger, and was not even heartless.

It was simply extreme calmness and rationality.

How easy is that?

Everyone remembers this moment and this person. Throughout the long years and in this vast universe, countless extraordinary figures have emerged.

They wielded their swords with abandon, as if in a poem or a song.

The fighting spirit shook the heavens, as fierce as blood and fire.

They may grow up and Eternal Existence, Immortal and Undying, or they may be forgotten in history and buried in the mud, but at least... they once shone brightly and made the world hear their names.

At that moment, the world also heard his name.

He is Lin Yan.
