Will Stellar!

"Finally, I've been waiting."

The training room was filled with surging earth fire, and as it churned, it seemed like the Flame Law was fluctuating within.

Jiang Ming sat cross-legged in the center of the endless earth fire. The surrounding flames rose and fell with the rhythm of his breathing.

It was as if he were the source of this earth fire?

"No wonder my teacher, with his infinite life and vast wealth collected on Flame Abyss Star, still wanted to adventure in the universe."

Jiang Ming had previously thought that Marquis Flame Abyss planned to adventure in the universe because he was stuck at a bottleneck for too long.

Now, Jiang Ming had a different idea.

"A long life is truly too boring. Without a corresponding state of mind, time can easily twist a person's psyche."

Jiang Ming sighed inwardly.

During this period of seclusion, Jiang Ming had spent tens of thousands of years in this training room.

Every day was a repetitive cycle of comprehension and cultivation. If it weren't for the comfortable feeling in his soul when comprehending laws, such prolonged cultivation would have become torture.

However, even so, Jiang Ming still felt boredom and a sense of tedium.

"No wonder that intelligent being in the Thunder World became mentally twisted and perverted after millions of years.

A lonely soul that cannot cultivate and cannot communicate with anyone is bound to become abnormal."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

With Jiang Ming's state of mind and will, even cultivating alone for tens of thousands of years felt boring. How much more so for a mere intelligent life form that couldn't cultivate?

"My teacher probably felt the same. After billions of years of cultivation with no change, even knowing that venturing into the universe would likely lead to death, with only a slim chance of breakthrough.

Yet, he still went to adventure in the universe, not just to seize that sliver of opportunity, but also because he was tired of his current life."

Even an immortal's mind is not truly immortal. If time drags on too long, their minds can become corrupted and degenerate.

Many horrific crimes in the universe were committed by these immortals.

The virtual universe could simulate everything, and theoretically, any desire could be satisfied within it.

But as time stretched on, the fake would always remain fake. At that point, these powerful beings would seek thrills in reality.

"No wonder even the strongest beings in the universe pay attention to geniuses with strong mental fortitude. As soon as Hong and Thor displayed their powerful mental fortitude, the strongest beings in the universe and Universe Masters immediately took them as disciples.

A strong mental state is an inconspicuous talent in the early stages, but the longer time goes on, the more its effect becomes apparent."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but admire Hong and Thor.

Their attainments in mental fortitude were truly terrifyingly strong.

"Although they are very strong, I'm not too bad either. Under the passage of long time, my mental fortitude has also improved.

And the effect of the Will Stellar has truly manifested now."

Within Jiang Ming's spiritual sea, a great sun hung in the sky, brilliant and dazzling.

After his will transformed into a Stellar, all sorts of negative emotions generated within Jiang Ming's will were constantly burned away in the Stellar.

Useless emotions and chaotic thoughts that Jiang Ming deemed unnecessary were also incinerated.

This allowed his spiritual will to remain pure and untainted. The desolation of countless years was merely like a slightly larger pile of firewood.

After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, Jiang Ming's will had also been continuously improving, and the radiance of his Will Stellar was now even more dazzling.

Virtual Universe Space, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay residential area.

Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng all appeared at their doorstep at the same time. In the next moment, Jiang Ming's figure also appeared there.

Hong and Jiang Ming's gazes met. With just a glance, Hong saw a great sun rise in his spiritual world, brilliant and dazzling.

The great sun hung high in Hong's spiritual world. An ordinary person would have felt minuscule and fearful...

But Hong's spiritual world was like a vast universe, encompassing everything.

Even with the blinding radiance of the great sun, Hong's mental state remained unperturbed.

"Jiang Ming, what is your current strength?"

Although Jiang Ming's naturally revealed will did not affect Hong, it still shocked him.

He felt that even the will impact from Domain Lord Ming Yu was not as great as Jiang Ming's.

"The Genius Battle is about to begin. Won't you know then?"

Jiang Ming laughed heartily and walked into Luo Feng's home with the others.

Luo Feng, standing beside them, was also very shocked. He wasn't shocked by Jiang Ming's strength.

But by Hong's will.

The day the Genius Battle rankings appeared, when he met Jiang Ming, he had been strongly impacted by his will. At that time, he only thought Jiang Ming was strong.

Now, seeing that Hong was not affected at all, he couldn't help but wonder if he himself was too weak?

Because it wasn't just Hong; Thor was much the same.

Sitting down in their seats, the few individuals soon each received an email from the Universe Genius Battle.

A month had passed since the announcement had appeared, and registration had already closed.

The email mentioned that over eight hundred billion Stellar level geniuses from Ganwu Universe Country were participating this year, and in the Genius Battle, everyone's physical fitness would be at the standard of a ninth-order Stellar level body.

The competition would test 'will', 'Domain', 'law comprehension', 'experience', and so on.

The Universe Genius Battle was divided into a selection battle and a grand final.

The selection battle would divide the over eight hundred billion participants from Ganwu Universe Country into 100 world zones, with each world zone containing 8.2 billion people.

Within each world zone, they would fight each other, and only the top 1001 ranked contestants would advance to the elimination rounds.

Excluding the first-place winner of each world zone, the other hundred thousand contestants would have to fight for nine hundred spots in the elimination rounds.

However, the first-place contestant of each world zone would directly advance to the next stage without needing to compete.

Ultimately, only one thousand spots would be available from Ganwu Universe Country to enter the grand finals.

After reading the email, Jiang Ming chuckled.

"8.2 billion people fighting for a thousand spots within one world zone. It truly lives up to its reputation as a once-in-ten-thousand-years grand event. What a spectacular scene."

Even though he had some expectations, the thought of 8.2 billion people going mad and fighting each other ignited a long-lost fervor within Jiang Ming.

"Yes, it's truly a spectacular scene, a crazy battle."

Hong could already imagine the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"There are too many people, so this is the only way," Thor laughed. "But I'm looking forward to it too."

Hearing their words, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a bloodthirsty desire surge within him.

"Fight, fight."

The Universe Genius Battle had a one-month registration period, and one month after registration closed would be the assembly day.

In the blink of an eye, it was the assembly day.

Within Ganwu Universe Country, all eight hundred billion participants gathered at this moment.

Among these eight hundred billion people were those with powerful talent!

Some were blessed with great fortune and had encountered fortuitous encounters!

Some had inherited from Undying beings and had a structured lineage!

And some possessed the heart of a true warrior...

But every single one of these eight hundred billion people had a certain level of confidence to dare to register and participate.

Now, thousands of geniuses converged!
