Three Years

"This seclusion had exceeded expectations. Not only had my comprehension of the Space Origin Laws reached 20%, but my force amplification had also risen to 65 times. By now, the Reincarnation Battle should be about over. It was time to come out of seclusion..."

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Ever since the preliminary rounds ended, Yue Ming had entered the Time-Space Disruptor's Small World and remained in seclusion there for a full three years. Now that the Reincarnation Battle had ended and the finals were about to begin, Yue Ming finally emerged.

Level: Stellar Level ninth rank (third tier)

Realm: Water Origin Laws 20%, Space Origin Laws 20%, Water-Void Fusion Law 15% (first level)

Genes: 100 times

Force Amplification: 65 times

Secret Techniques: Water Sky One Line, Sevenfold Space, first volume of Primordial Saint Body

Yue Ming opened the Attribute Panel. His comprehension of both the Water Origin Laws and Space Origin Laws had reached 20%. He tried using the Law Fusion Device to continue fusing the two Origin Laws, but unfortunately, it failed.

The prompt he received stated that both Origin Laws had to reach 30% comprehension before they could be fused again. This was because every use of the Law Fusion Device directly fused one stage of Laws to perfection.

For example, the first level of the Water-Void Fusion Law would directly reach perfection upon a successful fusion. The same applied to the second level. As long as his comprehension of the two Origin Laws reached 30%, a successful fusion would result in the second level reaching perfection.

"My comprehension of the Space Origin Laws has reached 20%, and the Sevenfold Space Secret Technique has advanced further. I can now create two thousand Space Phantom Bodies..."

Perhaps because he possessed the special Space Phantom Body ability, coupled with another breakthrough in the Space Origin Laws, Yue Ming found cultivating the Sevenfold Space Secret Technique exceptionally easy. After practicing it only dozens of times, he had mastered the fifth level of the Sevenfold Space Secret Technique.

"Beibei, log into the Virtual Universe, then send Luo Feng and the others an email inviting them to get together..."

"Yes, Master."

After leaving the Small World, Yue Ming logged directly into the Virtual Universe and had Beibei send Luo Feng and the others an email informing them that he had emerged from seclusion. Before long, the three of them arrived at their agreed meeting place.

"Yue Ming, you finally came out of seclusion. We were worried you'd lose track of time while cultivating. The Peak Genius Battle finals begin in three days..."

Although they knew Yue Ming was in seclusion, the finals were fast approaching, yet he had shown no sign of emerging. He had not replied to their emails either. They had been afraid that he had forgotten the time in seclusion and had nearly gone to Herka Star to find him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There's no way I could forget something as important as the Peak Genius Battle finals."

"By the way! How have your cultivation gone over these three years? Are you confident about making it into the top thousand of the Peak Genius Battle finals?"

Naturally, Yue Ming had not forgotten the time. He had read the original novel and knew exactly when the Peak Genius Battle finals would be held. He had timed his emergence from seclusion precisely.

"I'm fairly confident about making the top thousand in the Peak Genius Battle finals. My Golden Horn Beast True Body has already nurtured its second clone. My second clone is a Magic Kill Race member. The Magic Kill Race are darlings of space, and with my Magic Kill Race clone, I've successfully comprehended a trace of the Space Origin Laws. I'm not far from crossing the threshold..."

Just as in the original story, Luo Feng had ultimately chosen the Magic Kill Race for his second clone. Relying on the Magic Kill Race clone's spatial talent, he successfully comprehended a trace of the Space Origin Laws before the Peak Genius Battle finals arrived.

In truth, the Magic Kill Race was not bad at all. They were an extremely powerful and rare energy lifeform race in the universe, known as the universe's number one assassination race.

The Magic Kill Race possessed an exceptionally high talent for space, along with two innate secret techniques: Replication and Domain. Replication used an opponent's aura to perfectly copy every one of their traits and characteristics from the inside out.

Domain allowed them, within a certain range, to transform themselves into space itself, ignoring all spatial seals. This ability was utterly heaven-defying.

"My comprehension of the Laws of Light crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws two years ago. As for making the top thousand in the Peak Genius Battle finals, all I can say is that there's still some hope..."

Hong did not dare overstate things. His strength was indeed impressive, but there were simply too many geniuses in the universe.

"As for me, I probably have no hope. With Lightning Mountain's special environment, I've comprehended a trace of the Origin Laws, but I haven't crossed the threshold yet. Making the top thousand in the Peak Genius Battle finals is practically impossible."

"However, since I made it into the top thousand of the Ganwu Universe Country, I've already received an invitation from the Ganwu Secret Realm. If I can't make the top thousand in the Peak Genius Battle finals, I'll go cultivate in the Ganwu Secret Realm..."

Thor was the weakest among the four. He had yet to cross the threshold of the Origin Laws, and he knew perfectly well that he had no chance of making the top thousand in the Peak Genius Battle finals.

"The Ganwu Secret Realm isn't bad either. It's one of the finest cultivation holy lands in the entire Ganwu Universe Country. And if you perform well there, you may have the chance to receive a recommendation to cultivate in the Initial Universe in the future..."

Failing to make the top thousand in the Peak Genius Battle finals merely meant being one step slower. They could still join the Five Great Powers through other means and obtain an opportunity to cultivate in the Initial Universe.

"Hahaha, don't worry about me. You've only taken the lead for now. I'll definitely catch up to you!"

Thor was not discouraged in the slightest. His state of mind was extraordinary, and few things could affect him.

"By the way, Brother Ming, after you took first place in the world division, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire awarded the entire Milky Way to you. You're now the Lord of the Milky Way. Also, the Ganwu Universe Country gave you rewards as well. I collected them for you. I'll hand them over when we meet in reality next time."

"Lord of the Milky Way..."

Yue Ming chuckled and shook his head. He had not expected the title of Lord of the Milky Way to ultimately fall upon him.

"Has the matter with the Nuo Lanshan Family been resolved?"

"Brother Ming, the Nuo Lanshan Family no longer exists!"

It turned out that after the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's envoy learned of the grudge between Earth and the Nuo Lanshan Family, Luo Feng and the others did not even need to ask. The envoy had proactively promised to deal with the Nuo Lanshan Family, removing this future threat from Earth and allowing them to focus on the competition.

Nuo Lanshan had been extremely cunning. After learning that Yue Ming had taken first place in the world division, he had immediately gone into hiding. Only after the Black Dragon Mountain Empire issued a wanted order had they finally managed to drag him out.

"Brother Ming, we have some information on contestants gathered by the Ganwu Universe Country. Do you want to take a look?"

Luo Feng had Bebeth bring up several thousand videos. These videos had been sent by the Ganwu Universe Country's envoys. They had been painstakingly collected based on names from the rankings of various Universe Countries, along with many genius powerhouses who had long been famous.

"Then let's have a look."

In truth, it did not matter whether he watched them or not. In this Peak Genius Battle, no one could possibly be his match.

"Yue Ming, you may not know this, but you're quite famous. You're considered one of the people most likely to make the top ten in the Peak Genius Battle finals. Look, this is footage of your battles..."

Thor opened one of the videos. It showed Yue Ming's battle footage from the world division preliminary rounds.

"Now look at this one. This guy is called Bolan. He's also extremely formidable. Like you, he comprehends the Space Origin Laws..."

Thor opened another video. It showed a white-clad young man wielding a longsword, creating several hundred Space Phantom Bodies as he fought dozens of geniuses.
