Ganwu Secret Realm, Aurora Tower

Inside a silver-white G-class shuttle spaceship, Dry Witch Universe Master and Lian Luo sat in the main cabin, drinking wine and chatting idly.

He was Dry Witch Universe Master's most beloved junior disciple, and in front of him, Dry Witch Universe Master made no attempt to hide his predicament. Dry Witch Universe Master sighed: "Still too greedy! If I hadn't been greedy, after falling once I wouldn't have taken risks, but instead accumulated slowly, at least making up for all the losses from that one fall before taking another risk."

Lian Luo nodded in agreement, but he still had to remark that luck was also very important.

This time, less than 100 epochs had passed since the Original Star opened, and Dry Witch Universe Master's Teacher had died three times in a row. That was less than a million years, and he'd been wiped out three times—such luck was so bad it was beyond words.

One had to know that the Original Star had a full 10,081 stars, and each Original Star had 10,081 passages, allowing one to flee to another Original Star at any time.

Lian Luo strongly suspected that Dry Witch Universe Master's Teacher had some special constitution that caused him to be this unlucky.

"Don't learn from me. Prepare well, and only take risks when you're ready!" After sighing, Dry Witch Universe Master looked at Lian Luo and warned him: "Your strength still has plenty of room for improvement. Becoming a King in the future won't be hard. Take things slowly!"

Lian Luo respectfully agreed: "This disciple will strictly follow Teacher's teachings!"

Next, Lian Luo probed Dry Witch Universe Master about the changes in the Human race during the years he had fallen. At the same time, he comforted Dry Witch Universe Master not to panic—after all, his Ganwu Universe Country was in an excellent position. Once the demolition came... no, once City Lord Luo rose to power and he latched onto that thigh, he'd have no worries about food or clothing.

The master and disciple chatted idly as the spaceship flew swiftly through the Dark Universe. Their destination this time was the sacred land of the Ganwu Universe Country, the 'Ganwu Secret Realm'!

The Ganwu Secret Realm was originally a medium-sized Cosmic Secret Realm, later transformed by the Ganwu Universe Country into a place for nurturing geniuses. This Ganwu Secret Realm was also the most important location within the Ganwu Universe Country!

A large number of Universe Country armies and Immortal Gods were stationed here.

Before his fall, Dry Witch Universe Master had also been stationed in the Secret Realm year-round, preventing alien races from assassinating the geniuses of the Ganwu Universe Country!

Within the Ganwu Secret Realm, above the floating continent with a diameter exceeding 1.5 light-years, the shuttle spaceship tore away from the Dark Universe and suddenly appeared in the air.

Swish!

Dry Witch Universe Master waved his hand to put away the spaceship, then directly teleported with Lian Luo, appearing in the majestic temple at the center of the continent.

After being resurrected, Dry Witch Universe Master quickly became busy. He guarded the Ganwu Universe Country for the race, and the race would give him corresponding contribution points. The number of contribution points also depended on his work performance.

For example, in the Star-level Talent Battle held every five thousand years across the entire universe, how many geniuses from the Ganwu Universe Country were absorbed by the two major forces. Or how many troops the Ganwu Universe Country could provide for the Outer Domain Battlefield... all of this was included in Dry Witch Universe Master's performance metrics.

Before, Dry Witch Universe Master didn't care about these things. But now that he was in debt, his work attitude naturally became much more serious.

While Dry Witch Universe Master handled affairs, Lian Luo swaggered off to the Secret Treasure Vault of the Ganwu Universe Country, planning to freeload a spaceship, weapons, detectors, and the like.

Virtual Universe, a special location on the Ganwu Continent.

Lian Luo's figure quietly appeared. He sized up the five-story tower-shaped building before him, a look of anticipation in his eyes. This tower-shaped building was precisely the Secret Treasure Vault of the Ganwu Universe Country, the 'Aurora Tower'!

Nodding slightly, Lian Luo walked directly into the Aurora Tower.

The Aurora Tower had five floors. The treasures on the first floor were Force weapons, Psionic weapons, secret techniques, Heavenly treasures and earthly riches, and other items useful for Star-level cultivators.

The second floor corresponded to Universe Level!

The third floor corresponded to Domain Lord Level!

The fourth floor was World Lord Level!

The fifth floor was Immortal grade!

Correspondingly, the treasures on each floor were hundreds or thousands of times more precious than those on the floor below.

The first three floors held precious treasures that were hard to obtain even in medium-sized Universe Countries.

The fourth floor contained treasures that were barely considered decent even for the Immortals of the Ganwu Universe Country!

As for the topmost fifth floor, every single treasure there, when released into the universe, could cause a group of Immortals to fight and kill over it!

Of course, with so many precious treasures stored there, the opportunity to enter the Aurora Tower and select treasures was correspondingly extremely difficult to obtain!

Moreover, the higher the floor of the Aurora Tower, the harder it was to get a chance to select treasures!

The topmost fifth floor!

Unless the Immortal experts under Dry Witch Universe Master rendered great meritorious service, Dry Witch Universe Master would only grant them permission to enter the fifth floor of the Aurora Tower once to select a treasure, and they could only pick one!

On the other hand, the first three floors contained treasures that were only valuable to those below World Lord Level.

Opportunities to select treasures were also relatively easier to obtain.

At this moment, on the first floor of the Aurora Tower, a group of Star-level geniuses were dazzled as they browsed the rewards.

"Wow! A Level 4 psionic weapon, the 'Sky-Breaking Shuttle'!"

"A d8-class spaceship!"

"The Psionic amplitude secret technique 'Absolute Domain'—cultivate it to the ninth layer, and your psionic amplitude can reach 54!"

"Choose a secret technique? Choose a weapon? Or choose other auxiliary treasures?..." The geniuses were caught in a blissful dilemma.

At the counter on the first floor, an old man draped in a white robe, with white hair and white eyebrows, was watching this group of geniuses, a faint smile in his eyes.

"These are all the future of my Ganwu Universe Country!"

The two major forces of humanity held a Universe Talent Battle every five thousand years, selecting geniuses from the entire Human race to enter their respective four Secret Realms for training.

Cultivating geniuses—this is something every organization does, and the Ganwu Universe Country is no exception.

After all, in the Swallowed Starry Sky, this is a world where power resides within the individual. The contribution of a single genius to a force far exceeds that of a billion, even ten billion ordinary people.

Across the vast cosmos, a high-level universe country like Ganwu is already considered a respectable power, second only to the Five Great Powers within the Human race.

Every millennium, the upper echelons of the Ganwu Universe Country hold a talent selection competition across the entire universe country, picking the most gifted Star-level individuals to enter the Ganwu Secret Realm for training.

And entering the Aurora Tower to choose a Star-level treasure is one of the benefits the Ganwu Secret Realm offers these geniuses!

Some geniuses are still hesitating, while others, guided remotely by their family elders, have already selected treasures suited to them. After picking their treasures, they must register them with the white-robed elder.

If it's a secret technique, it will be delivered to them via the Virtual Universe.

If it's a weapon, auxiliary treasure, or the like, staff members will deliver it to them in the real world.
