Revival of the Genius

In the heartland of the Human Race, the Initial Universe!

Above the ancient and majestic Chaos City, wisps of chaos energy flowed. A towering figure emerged from the depths of the chaos energy. His eyes shone like stars, and he was clad in an incredibly intricate and ancient dark red battle armor, with battle boots. A scaled tail extended from his battle skirt.

He simply stood there, and anyone who saw him would feel as if they were gazing upon the boundless Universe itself.

Profound, vast, powerful!

"Begin!"

The great being's eyes closed slightly, and he naturally gained control over the space-time of Chaos City. The time and space here were all influenced by him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"

Heaven and Earth trembled. Within the region of space-time controlled by this great being, time began to rapidly rewind!

It was like watching a movie in reverse, and at an extremely fast pace. Scenes within Chaos City continuously appeared and rewound. Waves of geniuses and powerhouses arrived here and then departed. Many figures, emitting auras capable of destroying stars...

"Stop!" Suddenly, a figure from a certain era was directly locked onto.

Time continued to rewind, and the surrounding scenes kept changing, while that figure remained motionless.

"Stop!" Another figure was locked on.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Figure after figure was locked on. They had all sorts of appearances and exuded terrifying auras. A total of over a thousand figures stood there, motionless, like sculptures.

"Time rewind." The space-time that had been rewinding began to rapidly return. The backlash from the powerful laws of the Universe's operation continuously surged towards the towering figure above Chaos City, yet the figure remained completely still.

However, his aura fluctuated, growing stronger and weaker, as if these backlashes were putting an immense pressure on him.

After a long while, everything returned to calm, and the towering figure disappeared!

Throughout Chaos City below.

The over a thousand figures regained consciousness, looking at each other in astonishment. Soon, they all recovered their memories.

"Didn't I die?"

"I was ambushed by the Ice Fox King of the Demon Race and self-destructed!"

Among the over a thousand figures, the vast majority were King-level existences of the Human Race, and there were also some Marquis-level geniuses with immense potential!

"What the hell? Did I transmigrate? Where did I transmigrate to?" Lin Luo was somewhat bewildered among the group of Kings. He had been playing games at home when he suddenly fell asleep and woke up in this place.

"Everyone!"

Just as the over a thousand figures were murmuring amongst themselves, a bald man wearing a fiery red battle robe walked over from a distance with a smile.

He had a faint smile on his face, and his entire being exuded a sense of tranquility. Just looking at this bald man... Lin Luo involuntarily felt his heart calm down, as if he were merging into the vast and serene Cosmic Starry Sky.

Everything around him seemed to disappear, leaving only the bald man standing there.

"Huh?" Lin Luo shivered and snapped awake.

The other figures did the same. They all looked at the bald man and respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Venerable!"

Lin Luo quickly followed suit, bowing like the others. A sense of familiarity arose in his heart, "Venerable?"

"I am Venerable Guiyi. Just now, all of you were resurrected by my Teacher, the great Lord of Chaos City, who reversed time and space." The bald man said with a smile, his smile possessing a power that could infect the soul.

"From now on, you can cultivate in Chaos City, or you can take a spaceship and leave Chaos City to venture out!" said the bald man who called himself Venerable Guiyi.

Suddenly, his expression turned solemn, and the smile on his face vanished. "But remember, you have all died once!"

Venerable Guiyi departed, leaving behind the over a thousand King-level and talented Marquis-level Immortals to discuss amongst themselves.

Lin Luo walked off to the side alone, his eyes complex.

Lord of Chaos City, Venerable Guiyi, reversing time and space... With these words combined, he knew he had transmigrated into the world of Swallowed Starry Sky.

"Since Venerable Guiyi said I can cultivate in Chaos City, I'll stay here for a while to figure out my identity and... get familiar with my strength!" Lin Luo chose an unoccupied building, recognized it as his own, and walked in.

As far as Lin Luo knew, among the Human Race, the lowest qualification to be resurrected by reversing time and space was King-level Immortal!

Transmigrating was not ideal, but directly transmigrating into a powerhouse in the vast starry sky was incredibly awesome!

On the rooftop of the building, Lin Luo sat cross-legged.

"My name is Lian Luo. I ranked first in the universe in the Genius Battle, was selected for the Primal Secret Realm, chose the 'Nine Universes Chaos Tablet,' cultivated diligently for tens of thousands of years, and created 'Floating Blood,' which is considered the pinnacle among the basic secret techniques of the Nine Universes Chaos Tablet. After becoming an Immortal, I was directly conferred the title of 'Blood-Robed Marquis'..."

The memories of the other person slowly appeared in Lin Luo's mind.

"So I transmigrated and became Lian Luo..." A trace of vicissitude flashed in Lin Luo's eyes.

Lian Luo had only lived for less than a hundred thousand years before perishing in a Cosmic Secret Realm. Among Immortal Gods, he was considered short-lived.

Although Lian Luo spent most of his less than a hundred thousand years in tedious cultivation, compared to Lin Luo's memories of a few decades, Lian Luo's memories were still terrifyingly vast!

Accepting Lian Luo's memories was akin to Lin Luo himself having lived for a hundred thousand years.

Cultivation, apprenticeship, battles, death...

After a long while, Lin Luo slowly opened his eyes, a hint of... pleasant surprise in them.

Compared to the boring and meaningless corporate slave life on Earth in his previous life, the world of Swallowed Starry Sky was so much more exciting. And the moment he transmigrated, he became a high and mighty Marquis Immortal God, inheriting Lian Luo's cultivation, realm, and assets. This was simply too awesome!

"From now on, I am Lian Luo!"

"Right, my assets!"

Although he had been resurrected, the Lord of Chaos City had only revived him. The supreme treasures, treasures, and immortal plants he carried when he died were all gone. He was now a pauper with nothing.

Of course, the wealth he carried was gone. But his points within the Virtual Universe Company, and the cosmic currency he had in two major super-giant banks, were still there.

What Lian Luo wanted to check now were these assets.

Following the knowledge in his memory, Lian Luo's consciousness linked to the virtual universe, and his figure directly appeared in a temple on Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

Thunder Island was a magnificent plane, and it was also the place where the temples of the Virtual Universe lineage's experts above Immortal God level were located.

The countless temples on Thunder Island belonged to those Immortals. The temples on the mountainside of the central mountain range on Thunder Island... the temples on the mountainside housed Universe Venerables, while the temples on the mountaintop housed Universe Masters. Some extremely powerful Universe Overlords also resided on the mountaintop.

Lian Luo's temple was on Thunder Island, near the central mountain range.

In the temple, Lian Luo sat cross-legged. He first checked his points within the Virtual Universe Company.

"About 120,000 points remaining!"

Then he quickly opened his bank account. His bank was the Cosmic Star River Bank, and the remaining cosmic currency was 0!

"Why is there no money left!" Lian Luo couldn't help but go crazy. However, after a careful check, he understood that all the wealth in the Cosmic Star River Bank had been withdrawn by someone named 'Bai Zhi'.

From his memory, Lian Luo also figured out this person's identity!

"This person is Lian Luo's wife!"

After Lian Luo died, his property was naturally inherited by his wife and children. Over the long years, they had withdrawn all the money from the account. But Virtual Universe Company points could only be used by the individual, so his points were still there.

"Bai Zhi!" Lian Luo searched his contact list, but he couldn't find her virtual universe ID at all.

Then, he looked for the virtual universe IDs of the original body's children, but he didn't find them either.

In his contact list, there were only a meager few dozen friends left!

The other virtual universe IDs had been canceled!

In the temple, Lian Luo sighed slightly. It was very difficult for Human Race's King-levels to die. Perhaps only one would die in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. The Universe Masters of the Human Race couldn't possibly revive them immediately.

After all, the Universe Masters also had to cultivate and explore!

They would only gather a large group and then, just like the Lord of Chaos City did, revive them all at once.

Therefore, it was unknown how many billions of years had passed since Lian Luo's era of death. In such a long period, if one did not become an Immortal, not even ashes would remain!

It was obvious that Lian Luo's wife and children had not become Immortals, and neither had most of his friends!

The Genius Battle held once every ten thousand years in the virtual universe selected 1,000 people from the entire Human Race to enter the Four Great Secret Realms for training!

The Human Race, 1008 Universe Nations, the top 1,000 Star-level geniuses within five thousand years (held once every ten thousand years by the Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena respectively).

What a concept, 'chosen one' wasn't even enough to describe them!

Yet, out of these thousand people selected, very few could become Immortals! This showed how difficult it was to become an Immortal. It was perfectly normal for Lian Luo's wife and children to not become Immortals and disappear into the river of time!

Therefore, for the strong individuals in the universe, the relationship between master and disciple was the most solid!

Over the long years, friends and family who hadn't broken through to become Immortals had all died. But the talented disciples they had taken on could become Immortals, and both master and disciple would exist eternally!

As for descendants, their feelings were even more fragile. They might not even see their own ancestor in their lifetime. If their ancestor went into seclusion, the family might have gone through countless generations.

"The original body also had a teacher!" Lian Luo rummaged through the complicated memories, gradually finding images related to that teacher.

Shortly after the original body entered the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company with the first place in the Genius Battle, he was taken as a disciple by an ancient and great Universe Nation Lord.

When the original body became a World Lord and went to the Outer Domain Battlefield for training, that great Universe Nation Lord even bestowed upon him a supreme treasure, the 'Cold Star Sword'.

Unfortunately, this supreme treasure was also lost when he died.

But it didn't matter. With his teacher's help, he would quickly rise again in the universe!

Lian Luo opened his contact list and searched for his teacher's virtual universe ID. Soon, he found the user with the remark 'Teacher' as he wished. However, when he tried to call his teacher, he found that he couldn't connect at all.

His expression turned stiff: "Teacher, you... you also died???"
