The Astonished Chaos City Leader

Inside the lobby.

An invisible pressure silenced the thousand geniuses, and even the red-eyed man who had started the competition bowed slightly.

As everyone looked up slightly, they saw the Man in Cyan Robe who had hosted the Genius Battle standing in front of them.

Yang Wu knew that it was the Nine Sword Venerable, and that he had been taken in as a disciple by him in the most recent simulation experience.

The Nine Sword Venerable surveyed the crowd, lingering briefly on Yang Wu before saying, "Let's go to the Initial Universe."

As soon as the Nine Sword Venerable finished speaking, everyone heard a loud 'boom'.

Then, the tail fin of the 'big fish' shaped spaceship flicked and it instantly disappeared from the spot.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense.

Back in the Virtual Universe, the Nine Sword Venerable's aura was enough to intimidate everyone, let alone now that they're meeting in reality.

Even though the Nine Sword Venerable did not actively release his pressure, the aura he naturally exuded caused all the geniuses to feel a sense of submission that came from their very life.

"Stop!" A Leiming shout from outside entered the spaceship and echoed in everyone's ears.

The power contained in that voice, if not for its restraint, would have likely caused Yang Wu and the others to be utterly terrified.

"It is I who opened the Cosmic Passage!" The Nine Sword Venerable's voice was utterly calm.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar came from the outside, and then the spaceship continued its journey.

Suddenly, Yang Wu and the other geniuses felt extremely uncomfortable. They tried to open their eyes, but found that they could not see anything.

Even many geniuses turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Only about three hundred people remained standing until the very end.

"We are now in the passage between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe."

The Nine Sword Venerable glanced coldly at the geniuses lying on the ground before explaining, "The flow of time in the Initial Universe and the Original Universe is different, which has caused a disruption in the flow of time within the passage, naturally making you feel uncomfortable."

After about five or six minutes, the uncomfortable feeling on Yang Wu and the others disappeared, and the geniuses who had fallen to the ground quickly stood up.

"We have now arrived in the Initial Universe!" The Nine Sword Venerable smiled and commanded, "Open the top!"

Sizzle...

The metal top above everyone automatically separated, revealing the outermost layer, which was like transparent glass, so that everyone could look up and see the outside world.

Yang Wu looked up and saw that it was dark outside, with occasional wisps of Chaos air drifting around.

In the distance, one can faintly see the Tiandi cracking open from time to time, with numerous strange and mysterious patterns flowing within the gaps in the space.

The silk threads are linked together, and the secret patterns on the threads float, just like a loom, weaving the Tiandi ever larger.

As the spaceship continued its journey, unlike the curious actions of the many geniuses, the dozen or so Immortal beings who had followed inside the spaceship all looked up at the outside world intently, sometimes closing their eyes in thought, and sometimes observing carefully.

"Stars and planets have lifespans, and so does the universe, only its lifespan is incredibly long."

The Nine Sword Venerable smiled and said, "This Initial Universe is the new universe in the 'initial creation' period. In the initial period, the universe is constantly being perfected and formed, and the rules governing the operation of the Universe Origin will become apparent."

"Those cracks in the universe are constantly being repaired by the rules governing the operation of the Universe Origin, including various Origin Law."

Yang Wu knew the secret of this Miniature Universe, so he wasn't too surprised.

Luo Feng and the others were completely dumbfounded.

"The Original Universe we live in is incredibly vast and perfectly perfect."

The Nine Sword Venerable explained, "Therefore, in the Original Universe, the Law governing the universe could not possibly be manifested externally, making them extremely difficult to comprehend. However, in this Initial Universe, you can directly observe the manifested Origin Law with your naked eye, making comprehension much easier."

"The slots for comprehending the Initial Universe are extremely precious; you must seize this opportunity."

The spaceship continued to move forward.

"We'll be at Chaos City soon," the Nine Sword Venerable suddenly reminded him. "Chaos City is where you'll live and cultivate in this Initial Universe."

"You are the ones I guided, and I hope that you will all still be alive thirty years from now."

Moments later, the giant 'fish'-shaped spaceship flew over an ancient city.

This ancient and majestic city sits in the vast Initial Universe, towering and imposing, enduring through the ages.

Whoosh!

The hatch at the belly of the fish opened.

Yang Wu and a thousand other geniuses filed out, then the hatch closed, and the 'big fish' flicked its tail fin and disappeared into the distance once more.

Suddenly, a black Flowing Light flew in from afar.

"Gentlemen, I am the Reception Envoy from Chaos City."

A deep voice rang out, and a man in black robes appeared before Yang Wu and the others. The man smiled and said, "This city is called Chaos City. Its history is incredibly long; it is the true Holy Land of our Human Race!"

"Chaos City is currently jointly managed by Five Great Forces: Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Fighting Arena, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe Mercenary Alliance."

Everyone watched the black-robed Reception Envoy in silence.

"Follow me, everyone."

The welcoming envoy smiled and led Yang Wu and his entourage forward.

Yang Wu and over a thousand others followed the enemy as they flew down from the sky, landing on the wide streets of Chaos City, constantly looking around.

Within Chaos City, there are rows of small buildings. On the rooftops of many of these buildings, one can see people of various appearances, some sitting cross-legged in meditation, others deep in thought.

And in those spatial rifts in the sky, powerful beings stood suspended in mid-air.

"In Chaos City, there are many extraordinary beings." The envoy introduced the group as they walked, "You will have thirty years to meditate in Chaos City. Do not disturb these beings as they comprehend the Origin Law. If you do, you will be disqualified from your comprehension and sent away from the Initial Universe!"

Yang Wu and the others nodded in agreement; of course, they wouldn't do such a thing.

The black-robed Reception Envoy continued to explain to everyone the various things they needed to be aware of within Chaos City.

For example, the rule in the Initial Universe that forbade humans from killing each other.

For example, there are three treasures in the Initial Universe, the visible Law governing the universe, the Chaos Beast that can obtain the Chaos True Spirit, and the most precious 52 Chaos Tablets.

Through continuous introductions, the Reception Envoy led the group to a magnificent building that was about 300 meters high.

The Black-Robed Envoy pointed to the imposing building and said respectfully, "Look, that's the City Lord Mansion!"

Yang Wu and the others looked up and saw the three most dazzling characters in the Universal Language above the majestic building: 'City Lord Mansion'.

Upon seeing the handwriting, Yang Wu felt as if his soul was being sucked out of his body, leaving him in a state of utter disorientation.

"Haha!" the Black-Robed Envoy laughed, "Even a great Immortal being wouldn't dare stare at those three large characters 'City Lord Mansion' for too long. You little fellows would better be more careful!"

"Alright, next, I'll take you to choose the Chaos Stele that best suits you!"

The gates of the City Lord Mansion remained open, with people constantly entering and exiting.

This is only the Outer Mansion; in a more central location, there is the heavily guarded Inner Mansion.

Inner Mansion was a secluded courtyard, and outside the courtyard stood a stone tablet inscribed with the three large characters 'Chaos Ruins'!

Just as the Reception Envoy led Yang Wu and the others to a spot not far from the City Lord Mansion's mansion, a bald man wearing a fiery red battle robe appeared in front of the quiet courtyard.

The bald man took a step forward.

Boom...

Time and space twisted, and the bald man appeared in a vast, desolate world.

The endless land was littered with corpses, some as large as planets, others smaller than humans, but without exception, all of them exuded a chilling aura.

The bald man walked across the endless ruins, gazing ahead as he shouted, "Teacher!"

As soon as the bald man finished speaking, a burly man about three meters tall appeared in front of him.

The tall man wore an incredibly complex and ancient dark red armor, boots, and a scaly tail that extended from behind him. His fierce face, covered in strange patterns, also had two fiery red horns.

"What is it?"

The tall man opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as the vast starry sky.

The bald man immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher, the youngsters of the latest Genius Battle have arrived in Chaos City."

"Oh? In the blink of an eye, another five thousand years have passed!" the tall man exclaimed.

Then, the tall man looked into the distance, as if he had traveled through time and space, and directly saw the figures of a thousand geniuses City Lord Mansion.

The bald man beside him thought to himself, "Teacher truly deserves to be the ruler of Chaos City, one of the most powerful beings in the vast universe!"

Moreover, he is the Controller of this Initial Universe, capable of mobilizing the full power of the entire Initial Universe and uncovering the secrets of everyone.

Clearly, this tall man, clad in Dark Red War Armor and exuding an aura of endless slaughter, is none other than the current supreme ruler of the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Leader!

At this moment, the Chaos City Leader, who controlled a certain space-time, easily saw the secrets of Yang Wu and the other thousand geniuses.

In fact, every batch of geniuses newly recruited by the Five Great Forces, whether through the 'Genius Battle,' the 'Strongest Battle,' or other means of Core Member, are sent to this Initial Universe once.

Firstly, it was to allow these geniuses to choose a suitable Chaos Stele so they could know the direction they were heading; secondly, it was also to screen out any Alien Race spies among these Core Member, so as to ensure that the human race would not cultivate a powerful being for the Alien Race.

Of course, even a great being like the Chaos City Leader cannot truly see through the true nature of every individual.

For example, if an Immortal God soul and body are completely integrated arrives in the Initial Universe, the Chaos City Leader cannot determine whether the other party is still human or whether he has been Soul Control.

In this situation, the Immortal God who arrive in the Initial Universe for the first time will naturally be monitored.

However, Yang Wu and the others were only at the Universe Level and Star Level, and the Chaos City Leader could see through each of their strengths and weaknesses in an instant.

During the investigation, the first person the Chaos City Leader noticed was Rong Jun, whose hair was disheveled and who looked like Savage.

A smile appeared on his face, "A member of the Giant Axe Clan? A promising youngster!"

However, the Chaos City Leader did not linger on Rong Jun for long, but instead looked at the others.

Soon, his gaze fell on Luo Feng, and he immediately saw the 'Origin Core' inside Luo Feng's body, which belonged to the Golden Horned Beast and was covered with countless golden runes.

"The Origin Core of the Golden Horned Beast?" The Chaos City Leader was slightly taken aback.

"Possession the Golden Horned Beast? For this little guy, that's quite a good opportunity. With the talent to create Clone, this little guy's future survival ability will be much stronger than others!"

The twelve peak bloodlines of the Star Beast Alliance are nothing to the Chaos City Leader, but in the history of the Genius Battle, there are not many geniuses who have such an opportunity.

Finally, the Chaos City Leader turned his attention to Yang Wu and Bolan, who were at the very front of the group.

"The power of the Hollow Fruit?" Upon seeing Bolan, the Chaos City Leader exclaimed, "Impressive spatial talent! But this fluctuation of the Law of Wind? Could it be for researching the Law of Time? Good luck, little fellow!"

"Um?"

After examining Yang Wu one last time, the Chaos City Leader's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Is this the little guy who won first place in this year's Genius Battle and comprehended the essence of the Origin Law of Space?" The Chaos City Leader wondered in surprise.

At the same time, the battle video of Yang Wu during the Genius Battle reappeared in his mind.

After watching Yang Wu's battle, the Chaos City Leader's expression grew increasingly solemn. "He only used an ordinary Domain Lord Level Bloodline Potion, yet he could achieve this level of skill? Could it be that our human race has produced another peerless genius, one in ten million epochs?"

In the eyes of the Chaos City Leader, this year's Genius Battle did indeed produce several outstanding geniuses.

Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Bolan —these three, whether possessing extraordinary bloodlines or encountering extraordinary opportunities, are all considered extremely outstanding geniuses in the history of the Genius Battle. If they hadn't perished, they all had the potential to become powerful figures.

However, every few thousand epochs, the human race will produce a few such figures.

Therefore, the Chaos City Leader wouldn't care too much.

But Yang Wu was completely different from the others!

Because he's too ordinary!
