Inside a silver-white G-class shuttle spaceship, the Dry Witch Universe Master and Lian Luo sat in the main cabin, drinking and chatting.
He was the Dry Witch Universe Master's favorite youngest disciple, and before him, the Dry Witch Universe Master had no intention of concealing his predicament. The Dry Witch Universe Master sighed. "I was still too greedy! If I hadn't been greedy, then after falling once, I should not have taken risks again. I should have accumulated resources slowly and made up for all the losses from that fall before venturing out again."
Lian Luo nodded in agreement, though he still had to remark that luck was important as well.
Less than a hundred eras had passed since the Original Stars opened, yet the Dry Witch Universe Master's Teacher had died three times in a row. In less than a million years, he had been gone three times. That luck was so bad it left one speechless.
One had to know that there were a full 10,081 Original Stars, and each Original Star had another 10,081 passageways through which one could flee to other Original Stars at any time.
Lian Luo suspected that the Dry Witch Universe Master's Teacher might possess some special constitution that made him so unlucky.
"Don't learn from me. Prepare yourself properly, and only venture out once you're ready!" After sighing, the Dry Witch Universe Master looked at Lian Luo and reminded him, "Your strength still has plenty of room for improvement. Reaching King Level will not be difficult for you in the future. Take everything slowly!"
Lian Luo immediately replied respectfully, "I will heed Teacher's instruction!"
Next, Lian Luo asked the Dry Witch Universe Master about the changes in the Human race during the years he had been dead. At the same time, he comforted the Dry Witch Universe Master, telling him not to panic. After all, his Ganwu Universe Country occupied an excellent position. Once it got demolished in the future—no, once City Lord Luo rose to prominence and he latched onto his thigh, he would never have to worry about food or clothing again.
As master and disciple chatted, the spaceship sped through the Dark Universe. Their destination was the holy land of the Ganwu Universe Country—the Ganwu Secret Realm!
The Ganwu Secret Realm had originally been a medium-sized Cosmic Secret Realm. It was later transformed by the Ganwu Universe Country into a place for nurturing geniuses, and it was also the most important location within the Ganwu Universe Country!
Large numbers of Universe Nation troops and Immortal Gods were stationed here.
Before his fall, the Dry Witch Universe Master had also guarded the secret realm year-round, preventing those foreign races from assassinating the geniuses of the Ganwu Universe Country!
Within the Ganwu Secret Realm, above a floating continent over 1.5 light-years in diameter, the shuttle spaceship emerged from the Dark Universe and suddenly appeared in midair.
Whoosh!
The Dry Witch Universe Master waved a hand and stored away the spaceship, then directly teleported with Lian Luo into the magnificent divine hall at the center of the continent.
After being resurrected, the Dry Witch Universe Master quickly became busy. He guarded the Ganwu Universe Country for the race, and the race would grant him corresponding contribution points. The number of contribution points he received depended on his work performance.
For example, during the Star level Talent Battle held once every five thousand years across the universe, how many geniuses from the Ganwu Universe Country were recruited by the two major powers. Or how many troops the Ganwu Universe Country could provide to the Outer Domain Battlefield... all of that was included in the Dry Witch Universe Master's performance assessment.
In the past, the Dry Witch Universe Master had not cared about such things. But now that he had become the Chief Debtor, his work attitude naturally became much more serious.
While the Dry Witch Universe Master handled affairs, Lian Luo swaggered off to the Secret Treasure Vault of the Ganwu Universe Country, intending to freeload some spaceships, weapons, detectors, and the like.
In the Virtual Universe, at a special location on Ganwu Continent.
Lian Luo's figure quietly appeared. He studied the five-story tower-like building before him, anticipation in his eyes. This tower-shaped building was the Secret Treasure Vault of the Ganwu Universe Country—the Aurora Tower!
With a slight nod, 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 to Star level cultivators.
The second floor corresponded to the universe level!
The third floor corresponded to the Domain Lord level!
The fourth floor was for the World Lord Level!
The fifth floor was for the Immortal grade!
Accordingly, the treasures on each floor were hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than those on the floor below.
The first three floors contained precious treasures that were difficult to obtain even in medium Universe Nations.
The treasures on the fourth floor could barely be considered decent even to the Immortals of the Ganwu Universe Country!
As for the topmost fifth floor, every treasure there could cause a group of Immortal beings to slaughter one another and fight over it if placed in the universe!
Naturally, with so many precious treasures stored here, obtaining even one chance to enter the Aurora Tower and select a treasure was exceedingly difficult!
Moreover, the higher the floor of the Aurora Tower, the harder it was to gain an opportunity to choose a treasure!
The topmost fifth floor!
For the Immortal experts under the Dry Witch Universe Master, only those who had rendered great merits would be granted permission by the Dry Witch Universe Master to enter the fifth floor of the Aurora Tower once and choose a treasure—and they could only choose one!
The first three floors, on the other hand, contained treasures that were only relatively valuable to experts below the World Lord Level.
Opportunities to choose treasures were also somewhat easier to obtain.
At that moment, on the first floor of the Aurora Tower, a group of Star level geniuses were dazzled as they selected their 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 level, and the psionic amplitude can reach 54!"
"Should I choose a secret technique? A weapon? Or some other auxiliary treasure?..." The geniuses were caught in a happy dilemma.
At the counter on the first floor, an old man clad in a white robe, with white hair and white eyebrows, watched the group of geniuses with a faint smile in his eyes.
"These are the future of our Ganwu Universe Country!"
Every five thousand years, the two major powers of humanity held a Universe Talent Battle, selecting geniuses from the entire Human race to enter their respective four great secret realms for training.
Nurturing geniuses was something every organization did, and the Ganwu Universe Country was no exception.
After all, Swallowed Starry Sky was a world where great power belonged to the individual. The contribution of a single genius to a faction was far greater than that of one billion or even ten billion ordinary people.
In the vast universe, a high-level Universe Nation like the Ganwu Universe Country was already considered a fairly decent force. Within the Human race, it was second only to the Five Great Powers.
Every thousand years, the upper echelons of the Ganwu Universe Country held a genius selection competition throughout the entire Universe Nation, choosing a batch of the most talented Star level cultivators to enter the Ganwu Secret Realm for training.
Being able to enter the Aurora Tower and choose a Star level treasure was one of the benefits the Ganwu Secret Realm offered these geniuses!
Some geniuses were still hesitating, while others had already chosen treasures suitable for themselves under the remote guidance of their family elders. Once they had selected their treasures, they needed to bring them to the white-robed old man for registration.
If it was a secret technique, it would be delivered to them through the Virtual Universe.
If it was a weapon, an auxiliary treasure, or the like, staff would deliver it to them in the real world.
