Annihilation Divine Fire!

The solar system, at the core of the sun.

As Jiang Ming's Earthling main body entered a long period of seclusion, the Fire God clone also entered seclusion to comprehend.

As time passed, the sun gradually changed color.

Earth.

Ninth Astronomical Observation Center.

"Director! Strange white spots have appeared on the sun, suspected to be a solar flare."

A young man in a form-fitting long robe rushed into an office and shouted at a bald old man seated at a desk.

Hearing the young man's words, the bald old man's expression also turned serious.

Solar flares could cause extremely severe electromagnetic storms.

Although Earth had already begun to explore space and synchronize with extraterrestrial civilizations, there were still a large number of old devices from earlier eras. These old devices still maintained Earth's society.

If a solar flare were to truly occur, the economic impact on Earth would be immense.

The old man began issuing a series of commands to ensure that if a flare did occur, Earth's losses would be minimized.

He also personally stood in the observation room, watching the changes on the sun.

The white spots on the sun gradually expanded, growing from the size of a pinprick when first observed.

Seeing this slow growth, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was puzzled.

The report from the Ninth Astronomical Observation Center was quickly submitted.

Earth had long since been unified, with the Earth Federation, jointly formed by all countries on Earth, governing the entire Earth civilization.

However, neither the great scientists within the Earth Federation nor the intelligent programs could decipher the sun's bizarre changes.

Yet, the sun was intrinsically linked to Earth, and the matter began to be reported up the chain.

Eventually, it reached Luo Feng and the others.

"What did Teacher put in the sun?"

In space, Luo Feng and the other two were traveling towards the sun in a spaceship.

"Jiang Ming said he left some things in the sun, and when Earth encounters a crisis, they can go to the sun for help. So I guess this is something Jiang Ming left in the sun that has changed," Hong said.

"What level of power are you talking about to cause changes in the sun's celestial phenomena? That's a Stellar!" Thor said strangely, looking at the simulated sun on the spaceship.

With his strength, he could see the white spots on the sun's surface with the naked eye even in space.

"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be too bad. What Teacher left in the sun shouldn't be harmful to Earth," Luo Feng said with some uncertainty.

While they were discussing, the white spots on the sun's surface rapidly enlarged, and soon a white patch formed on the sun's surface.

"Such terrifying energy fluctuations. If this energy fluctuation were on Earth, it could easily destroy a continental plate," Hong said, looking at the detection data of the sun displayed on the spaceship's screen.

Just then, Babata jumped out of Luo Feng's smart optical computer.

"Did Jiang Ming put a star-eating beast in the sun? The sun's energy has actually decreased! Although it's not much, it has indeed decreased," Babata's surprised voice emerged, and two sets of comparative data appeared on the screen.

"How is that possible! It actually decreased so much?" Luo Feng's expression changed drastically as he looked at the data on the screen. One set of data was from several years ago, and the other was from the present.

There was a clear difference in the data.

Although the amount of decrease was insignificant for the sun, it was a Stellar!

To cause a noticeable decrease in its energy, what could it be?

Just as they were all in shock, Jiang Ming, the Fire God in the core of the Stellar, received a notification.

"Huh? Why are they here?"

Jiang Ming had been in seclusion in the sun for many years and had naturally set up numerous warning devices around the sun.

When Luo Feng and the others' spaceship arrived, it was naturally detected by the warning devices.

But Jiang Ming had just emerged from his cultivation state and quickly sensed the abnormality.

At some point, the temperature around him had risen to an extremely terrifying level and was still spreading.

And flames were erupting from the surface of his body.

"So the Annihilation Divine Fire has entered the first level."

Jiang Ming understood the reason as soon as he saw the changes on his body.

The Fire God clone, as a special life form, its current human-like appearance was actually a mimicry.

Its true main body was the ball of scarlet fire from its gestation.

As its strength increased, the Fire God clone also began to exhibit new divine abilities.

Annihilation Divine Fire, while appearing to be flames, was actually a plasma fluid substance of ultra-high temperature and ultra-high energy. This divine fire possessed a terrifying penetrating power that could break through almost anything.

As Jiang Ming controlled the Annihilation Divine Fire on his body and drew it back into himself.

The internal temperature of the continuously heating Stellar also began to gradually decrease.

Inside the spaceship, Luo Feng's heart stirred.

"I'm going to the Virtual Universe for a bit."

With that, his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.

Black Dragon Mountain Island.

The Virtual Universe still simulated the distinction between day and night, and it was currently nighttime in the Virtual Universe.

In a manor, Luo Feng and Jiang Ming appeared simultaneously.

"No need to go to the sun, that was something I left behind. It's fine now, don't worry about it," Jiang Ming said to Luo Feng.

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Luo Feng nodded. He had guessed the reason when Jiang Ming sought him out at this time.

"Okay."

Luo Feng nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

"Right, a while ago, that Ninth Prince was apparently demoted to a remote planet to be a lord."

Since the Thunder World, Luo Feng had been keeping track of Brolyn's movements.

He had heard some time ago that Brolyn was currently serving as a lord on a desolate planet.

"Oh, him. I should thank him, actually."

Speaking of Brolyn, a smile appeared on Jiang Ming's face. That Brolyn had his maternal grandfather buy that crystal ball with the triple password from him.

Although he didn't know where his maternal grandfather got so much money, Jiang Ming was quite satisfied with the price.

"Hargrave didn't cause you any trouble, did he?" Jiang Ming asked. Hargrave was Brolyn's maternal grandfather. After purchasing the 'secret method' from Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming had paid special attention to him for a while.

However, seeing that he made no further moves, Jiang Ming gradually stopped paying attention to him.

"No, Earth has been very peaceful these past few years," Luo Feng shook his head.

As the two were chatting, a giant ranking list appeared in the night sky.

Light emanated from the surroundings of the black wanted poster, and within it, characters emitted a dazzling white light.

"Cosmic Humans—Peak Genius Battle!"

"Once every ten thousand years!"

"About to commence!"

"It is jointly organized by the Virtual Universe Company and all the Universe Nations!"

"Are you a genius? Unable to find an opponent at the same level and stage?..."

Jiang Ming stood under the night sky, looking up at the floating wanted poster, a surge of ambition rising in his heart.

No words were needed, nor were any superfluous actions.

Jiang Ming simply stood there, gazing at the public notice, but to Luo Feng, it was as if Jiang Ming was currently standing atop the public notice, challenging the entire universe!

Jiang Ming's ambition also ignited Luo Feng. He looked at the public notice, and his own blood began to boil.

"Universe Genius Battle? Interesting!"
