"His Highness Lian Luo? The disciple of the great Dry Witch Universe Master?" The fox-woman Milisha's heart stirred as she opened the virtual network and began searching.
As a Domain Lord of the Ganwu Secret Realm, Milisha had slightly higher authority in the Virtual Universe than ordinary World Masters. Moreover, the Universe Talent Battle was held publicly to inspire the fighting spirit of geniuses throughout the Human race. Even videos of the final matches were not kept secret, but released for all human geniuses to watch and encourage them to strive forward.
Before long, Milisha found information on Lian Luo.
"First place in the Talent Battle from endless ages ago? He joined the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm?"
That was as far as Milisha could investigate. After Lian Luo became a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm, the confidentiality level of his information had risen. Even ordinary Immortal Gods were not qualified to view it.
After looking up Lian Luo's information, Milisha looked at the excited group of geniuses before her and could not help coming up with an idea.
She smiled. "That 'His Highness Lian Luo' you mentioned was once a Star level genius just like you, in those distant years."
"Just like us?" The geniuses immediately became interested.
Milisha continued, "When His Highness Lian Luo was at the Star level, he participated in the 'Universe Talent Battle' held by the Virtual Universe Company. With a record of first place in the entire universe, he entered the Virtual Universe Company's most powerful Primal Secret Realm! Later, the great Dry Witch Universe Master accepted him as a disciple, and he became a mighty existence who roamed the universe!"
"First place in the Universe Talent Battle!" The many geniuses were stunned.
They had all participated in this round of selections by the Ganwu Universe Country, and they deeply understood how difficult it was to pass every stage and defeat other geniuses. Yet these were merely the Star level geniuses born in the Ganwu Universe Country over a thousand years!
The number one Star level genius in the entire universe over five thousand years—just how monstrous had he been?
"The next Universe Talent Battle will be held three hundred years from now, also by the Virtual Universe Company!" Milisha chuckled as she looked at these inexperienced Star level geniuses. "Over these three hundred years, you will receive the Ganwu Secret Realm's full support. As long as you cultivate diligently, you too will have a chance to become famous in one stroke during the Talent Battle! Even if you are not as monstrous as His Highness Lian Luo, you may still catch the eye of powerful Immortal Gods in the universe and be accepted as their disciples!"
"Then, like His Highness Lian Luo, you may step into the realm of the Immortal and become Eternal existences!"
Immortal. Eternal. Gods!
The Star level geniuses' gazes grew fiery.
Of course, they did not know that even among the top thousand geniuses in the entire universe who joined the Virtual Universe Company, only a tiny handful would ultimately become Immortal Gods.
Naturally, Lian Luo had no idea that his appearance had given a group of Star level geniuses such a tremendous shock. At this moment, he had already arrived on the fifth floor of Aurora Tower—the highest floor!
Other than the first floor, the guardians of the remaining four floors of Aurora Tower were all intelligent stewards generated by the Virtual Universe.
Lian Luo walked up to the intelligent steward on the fifth floor and calmly ordered, "Display all the spacecraft on this floor!"
Whoosh!
As Lian Luo gave the command, a long translucent list appeared before him, displaying spacecraft of every kind.
Most of these spacecraft were E9 class, with only a small number of F class vessels. After all, E-class spacecraft could be made from alloys, and even a fine one would only cost a few thousand Chaos Units. But F-class spacecraft were made from natural metals. The value of the materials alone could rival an entire Black Dragon Mountain Universe Nation, not to mention the engraved secret patterns and power systems.
The price of an F-class spacecraft was astronomical. Ordinary Immortals were simply not qualified to own one. Anyone in the universe who possessed an F-class spacecraft was at least a Marquis Immortal!
Before his fall, Lian Luo's spacecraft had been a top-tier F-class vessel, one he had exchanged from the company's internal treasury for nearly ten million points. If he had bought it outside, he would never have gotten it without tens of millions of Chaos Units.
Unfortunately, with Lian Luo's fall, that spacecraft had also fallen into the hands of an alien race.
"This one, then!" After comparing them for a while, Lian Luo unceremoniously selected an F-class spacecraft.
The F9 class spacecraft, Void Shadow, was forged entirely from F9-class natural metal, Obsidian Mother. Even Marquis experts could not damage it!
"It's a little worse than the one I used before, but it will do."
After selecting the spacecraft, Lian Luo chose a detection device worth over ten million Chaos Units. This level of detection device was generally something only King experts could afford to purchase and use.
"Sigh! The Marquis-level plant life, Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, that the original owner had nurtured was also destroyed in that battle!"
Lian Luo shook his head helplessly. Being resurrected once had truly left him severely weakened. Everything had to begin again from scratch.
"Should I cultivate another plant life?" Lian Luo considered it for a moment, but ultimately gave up on the idea. Nurturing plant life consumed both time and effort. It would take more than tens of thousands of years to raise it to a useful level of strength. He might as well get himself a suit of Immortal-grade armor.
Its functions might not be as comprehensive as plant life's, but it would be enough for him.
After choosing the spacecraft and detector, he selected a suit of armor favored by Marquis Immortals, the Golden Armor, as well as a longsword called Blood Shadow that was mixed with G-class metal. Only then did he leave Aurora Tower.
The total value of the four items he had selected exceeded twenty million Chaos Units.
That was enough to rival the entire fortune of some High Marquis experts.
But to a High Venerable like the Dry Witch Universe Master, such things naturally amounted to nothing.
These trinkets that Venerables could not even be bothered to look at were nothing in the eyes of a Chief Debtor like him.
Within the temple of the Ganwu Secret Realm, Lian Luo slowly opened his eyes. "All my equipment is settled. It's time to bid farewell to my teacher!"
He planned to first visit his descendants, then head straight to the Outer Domain Battlefield.
The unopened Blind Box in his mind had been tormenting his curiosity. He could not wait to open it and see what was inside.
"Just killing one hundred Immortal Army Masters! As long as I play it steady, I can do it!" Lian Luo thought confidently.
Entering the Dry Witch Universe Master's temple, Lian Luo directly knelt down respectfully. "Teacher!"
The Dry Witch Universe Master looked at the kneeling figure before him and sighed. "You are preparing to leave the Ganwu Secret Realm?"
"Yes, Teacher!" Lian Luo answered without hesitation. "I plan to return to my hometown first, then go to the Outer Domain Battlefield to fight and temper myself!"
The Dry Witch Universe Master nodded. "I know that after your fall, all the precious treasures on you were lost—"
Whoosh!
A pitch-black longsword flew from his palm. As it flew out, it rapidly expanded, eventually transforming into a sword peak over ten thousand meters tall that plunged into the ground before Lian Luo.
