Registration

"Today is already March 9th. I wonder if, like in the original novel, the Virtual Universe Company will hold the Peak Genius Battle today?"

Yue Ming muttered to himself. He had logged into the Virtual Universe early today, waiting for the Peak Genius Battle to begin. He waited all day, and by the time night fell, the Peak Genius Battle had still not arrived.

The Virtual Universe also has daytime and nighttime. At night, the sky even simulates countless stars, appearing almost indistinguishable from the real universe on the surface.

At this moment, many places on Black Dragon Mountain Island are lit up, with entertainment venues especially dazzling. Everything is as usual.

However, just then, an incredibly massive black proclamation suddenly appeared in the night sky of Black Dragon Mountain Island. The all-black proclamation was covered in characters emitting dazzling white light.

"Cosmic Humans, Peak Genius Battle!"

"Once every ten thousand years!"

"About to commence!"

"Jointly organized by the Virtual Universe Company and all Universe Countries..."

"For details, please use your virtual assistant to browse the official website of the 'Virtual Universe Network'."

The giant proclamation that suddenly appeared in the night sky was over a million kilometers long and wide. Anyone on Black Dragon Mountain Island could clearly see it by looking up.

In fact, it wasn't just Black Dragon Mountain Island. In the Virtual Universe, every continent representing a high-level Universe Country and every island representing a mid-level country also had a "black list" appear in their night sky.

Each public notice publicized the upcoming Peak Genius Battle. In just a moment, the news spread throughout the entire Human Race's universe, its speed almost inconceivable.

"Beibei, immediately send an email to Luo Feng and the others, tell them the Peak Genius Battle has started, and have them log into the Virtual Universe..."

"Understood, Master."

In less than a minute, Luo Feng and the others logged in. As soon as they did, they noticed the giant bulletin board hanging in the sky above them.

"Hahaha, the Peak Genius Battle has finally started! Damn it! It's only been a few minutes, and so many people have already registered..."

"Let's hurry and log into the Virtual Universe Company's official website to register too!"

"Quick, look at the homepage! There's a special section for the Peak Genius Battle with detailed information..."

The group logged into the official website to register first, then opened the special section. The section detailed the various precautions for the Peak Genius Battle, which was open to all Stellar Level humans. Anyone who was Stellar Level could register.

Strictly speaking, the Peak Genius Battle was held once every five thousand years, twice within ten thousand years, alternately hosted by the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

The Peak Genius Battle was divided into Universe Country preliminaries and the Grand Finals. First, each Universe Country would conduct internal selections to choose elites to participate in the Grand Finals for the entire Human Race.

The top one thousand finishers in the Grand Finals would receive generous rewards: first, a bonus of ten to ten thousand Primordial Units depending on their ranking; second, an opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for comprehension; and third, becoming a core member of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Over two billion people have registered already, it's truly insane! And that's just within our Ganwu Universe Country."

"This is just the beginning. Ganwu Universe Country has hundreds of millions of star systems. Even if only a hundred people registered per star system, that's over ten billion people."

"Yeah! Ganwu Universe Country alone probably has at least hundreds of billions of participants. I wonder if we can break through..."

The three were initially full of confidence, but the sheer number of participants was overwhelming. Hundreds of billions of people – no one could guarantee they would make it into the top thousand.

"The Peak Genius Battle is divided into preliminaries and finals. The preliminaries are further divided into the qualifying rounds and the Reincarnation Battles. Registration lasts for one month, the qualifying rounds last for one month, and the Reincarnation Battles take about three years. This means we still have over three years to cultivate. How is your cultivation going? Have you comprehended any Origin Laws?"

Yue Ming looked at Hong and Thor. He wasn't worried about Luo Feng. Hong and Thor were indeed much stronger than in the original novel. As long as their luck wasn't too bad, they had a high chance of making it into the top thousand in Ganwu Universe Country.

As for the top thousand in the Grand Finals, that was harder to say. To break into the top thousand, one needed to at least grasp the threshold of Origin Laws; otherwise, the chances were slim.

In the qualifying rounds and Reincarnation Battles, with extremely good luck and without encountering strong opponents, one might achieve good results even with slightly weaker strength.

But the Grand Finals were different. The trial tower relied on pure strength. Being eliminated due to insufficient strength was inevitable. He wondered if Hong and Thor had comprehended Origin Laws in the past two years.

Law comprehension and cultivation realm were different. Unless one deliberately concealed their aura, their cultivation realm could be seen at a glance. But if one didn't make a move, no one would know the level of their Origin Laws comprehension.

"I have a Golden Horn Beast clone. Relying on its innate talent, I've successfully reached the threshold of the Gold Origin Laws. Recently, I've been trying to comprehend the Space Origin Laws, but it's too difficult to comprehend high-level laws. I've made almost no progress..."

"My Light Ray Domain is at the ninth level, and I've comprehended a trace of the Light Ray Origin Laws. I'm still a bit distance from truly reaching the threshold, but reaching it within three years shouldn't be a problem. As long as my luck isn't too bad, I should at least make it into the top thousand of Ganwu Universe Country!"

"Compared to Brother Hong and Luo Feng, I've fallen a step behind. My Lightning Domain has also broken through to the ninth level, but I still haven't comprehended the Lightning Origin Laws. I always feel like I'm missing something..."

The three trusted Yue Ming implicitly. When Yue Ming asked about their progress, they hid nothing and told him their situations truthfully.

"Luo Feng, your Golden Horn Beast main body should have an opportunity to gestate a clone when you reach Universe Level, right? You can gestate a clone with space talent, which will make it easier for you to comprehend the Space Origin Laws. If you don't know where to buy them, you can use your teacher's account and ask the Universe River Bank for help..."

Hu Yanbo was a five-star user of the Universe River Bank and enjoyed VIP treatment. Asking the Universe River Bank for help to buy something was something they wouldn't refuse.

However, the materials needed to gestate a clone were quite expensive. In the original novel, Luo Feng obtained a lot of Universe Crystals in the Thunder World, which allowed him to buy the Evolution God Weapon and Magic Kill Race skin.

But now the plot had changed. Luo Feng hadn't gone to the Thunder World and had been in seclusion preparing for the Peak Genius Battle all these years. Therefore, Luo Feng didn't have that much money on him right now.

However, Luo Feng had many valuable items. Even casually taking out an Immortal corpse would be enough for him to buy the Evolution God Weapon and Magic Kill Race skin.

As for worrying about being targeted, would the Universe River Bank care about your meager possessions? Even if bank employees had ulterior motives, with real-time monitoring by the Virtual Universe, no one would dare to act recklessly.

The Universe River Bank and the Universe First Bank had achieved the utmost in customer data confidentiality. Even if internal personnel leaked even a sliver of customer information, if detected by the Virtual Universe, it would be a capital offense!
