Registration

After clicking the registration button, the group began filling in their registration details.

"Beep."

"Scan complete. Star Level ninth-rank Mental Master. Registration approved." After the Virtual Universe scan, the registration was complete.

There was still about a month until registration closed for the "Universe Humanity—Peak Genius Battle." During that time, Bai Yue, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God naturally seized every moment to work hard and improve their strength. None of them wanted to be eliminated as soon as they entered.

Whether it was Luo Feng, Hong, or Thunder God, each had their own pride! Bai Yue naturally refused to fall behind and threw himself into it wholeheartedly as well.

After transforming into a Moshazhu Race member, he sensed an unusual perception distinct from the five senses. He could vaguely sense the fluctuations of the surrounding space, something neither his former Earthling body nor his Kinkaku Giant Beast clone had possessed.

When he used the secret technique Absolute Space, he only needed one-hundredth of the power he had required before to twist space and form an Illusionary Body.

"The Moshazhu Race truly deserves to be called the darlings of space. Their comprehension and use of Space Law are more than a hundred times easier!"

His own speed of comprehending Space Law had already been extremely fast. Now, with this tremendous aid, his speed in analyzing the essence of Space Law increased by another huge margin. He had once expected to completely analyze all 108 essences of Space Law within a hundred years, but now he was confident he could finish within the thirty years in Chaos City!

After all, he was not cultivating solely for this Genius Battle. It was merely a stepping stone. Even with his current understanding of the laws, taking first place in the Genius Battle was already certain. But that did not mean he could afford to stand still.

Even his strongest Kinkaku Giant Beast clone had only reached Domain Lord Level ninth rank. So what if he could kill ordinary World Lord Level ninth-rank opponents? In this vast universe, he could only dominate a small corner and barely protect himself.

Had Huyan Bo, a Marquis-ranked Immortal, not still been easily killed? Even his "undying body" had been of little use.

Time passed, and amid the attention of countless humans across the many galaxies of the various Universe Kingdoms, registration for the Peak Genius Battle finally ended.

By Huaxia time, it was April 16, 2066.

"Master, you have mail!" Long Kui reminded Bai Yue in her gentle voice. Returning from his law comprehension, he directly logged into the Virtual Universe Network.

On Earth, Luo Feng, Thunder God, and Hong received the notification at the same time and immediately sent their consciousness into the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay villa district.

The four of them appeared one after another outside their respective homes. They exchanged glances and smiled at one another.

Bai Yue pulled a screen out of thin air. The email he had just received was displayed on it.

"Welcome to the 'Universe Humanity—Peak Genius' selection battle.

This selection battle has more than 822.5 billion Star Level participants within the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom alone..."

The email was extremely long, introducing the relevant competition rules as well as some of the Virtual Universe Company's arrangements.

In short, during the first stage, the top 1,000 experts would be selected from each major Universe Kingdom.

For example, the Universe Kingdom they were in was the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom.

The Gan Wu Universe Kingdom had more than 822.5 billion participants, and the competition was divided into the 'preliminary elimination round' and the 'arena finals.'

After the preliminary elimination round, more than 822.5 billion participants would be reduced to only 100,100 people!

Because so many people would be eliminated, the preliminary elimination round was destined to be exceptionally bloody.

For the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom's preliminary elimination round, one hundred worlds would first be divided within the Virtual Universe. Each world would contain more than 8.2 billion participants. More than 8.2 billion people would slaughter one another within the same world, killing others to earn points. The more they killed, the more points they earned! Everyone only had one life. Death meant the end.

When time ran out—

The final point rankings would be checked. Those ranked among the top 1,001 in points within their respective worlds would pass the preliminary elimination round. With 1,001 selected from each of the one hundred worlds, that made 100,100 people.

At the same time...

The first-ranked participant in each world would not need to take part in the arena finals and would directly claim one of the one hundred spots among the top 1,000. The remaining nine hundred spots would be contested by those one hundred thousand people in the arena finals.

Bai Yue was naturally aiming for first place in his world. He had no time to participate in tedious round-robin matches.

"Making more than 8.2 billion people slaughter each other like mad in one world... killing for points and ranking them by points. That's ruthless enough," Bai Yue thought to himself.

There was no helping it. There were simply too many participants. If they followed the sort of one-on-one sect competitions found in certain novels, they would never finish even by the Year of the Monkey.

After registration closed, the Virtual Universe Company began its preparations. The work was indeed extremely cumbersome, but the Virtual Universe Company was remarkably efficient.

One month after registration closed, the day of the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom's "preliminary round" assembly finally arrived.

On this day, not only were registered participants like Bai Yue paying close attention, but the major powers within the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom were watching closely as well, because this was also their chance to recruit promising newcomers.

The Virtual Universe Company had vast resources and only needed the very best thousand people. Yet among those eliminated, there were still quite a few geniuses.

Those geniuses might still have a chance to mature. Even if they were less capable, reaching the Domain Lord Level or becoming a World Master would not be a loss.

Thus, the major powers were gathering and storing information on every elite genius in preparation for later recruitment.

At the same time, the major Universe Kingdoms, families, Immortal inheritances, and other factions were giving their genius disciples one final boost of encouragement, promising all kinds of benefits in the hope that they could achieve good results in the Genius Battle and bring glory and honor to themselves and their nations!

"You are the future elites and future pillars of my Gan Wu Universe Kingdom."

"I hope that among those 100,100 spots, you will occupy at least half!" A deep, powerful voice that made heaven and earth tremble echoed through a stretch of cosmic starry sky. Within that starry sky stood a giant whose face could not be seen clearly. The space around him faintly distorted, while far before him stood dense masses of countless young people stretching beyond sight.

All the young people knelt in reverence.

Beside this giant, whom the naked eye could not look upon and whose voice alone made hearts tremble, powerful Immortal beings stood respectfully all around him.

Every Immortal being possessed awe-inspiring divine might, and at a glance, there were at least a thousand of them standing nearby...

"Go, children." The deep voice made space tremble and made every soul tremble.

"Yes, Lord Gan Wu!"

More than a hundred million Star Level youths knelt in reverence and excitement. They had never expected to meet this legendary existence—the being who had founded the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom and possessed unimaginable divine abilities, the ruler of the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom! He had occupied that position for hundreds of millions of years.

Whoosh!

The space ahead shifted, and more than a hundred million Star Level youths vanished instantly. This inconceivable divine ability made even the thousand-plus Immortals standing respectfully nearby shudder inwardly.

After the Ji Ning Clone joined the Virtual Universe Company, Lord Gan Wu, as his recommender, received considerable rewards from the race. His strapped circumstances finally eased somewhat.

It was foreseeable that as the Ji Ning Clone grew, he would receive even more. This made him all the more attentive to discovering geniuses!

As they waited, the Genius Battle watched by countless people began. Of the more than 800 billion people who had registered, every one of them had some degree of confidence—whether talent, inheritance, fortunate encounters, or something else entirely.

In any case, none of them believed themselves inferior to others!
