Choosing a Chaos Stele

On the other side, the black-robed Reception Envoy led Yang Wu and the others into a dreamlike corridor inside the City Lord Mansion.

On the walls on both sides of this dreamlike corridor hang huge, mysterious paintings.

"Hanging on both sides of the corridor are rubbings of the 52 Chaos Tablets in Chaos City. Each picture corresponds to a Chaos Stele. Although these pictures cannot fully convey the aura contained in the Chaos Stele, they can still make you feel something."

The Black-Robed Envoy pointed to the surrounding Chaos Stele and explained, "Each of you can choose one Chaos Stele to observe and comprehend, but you only have one chance. Once you've chosen, you can never change it."

"Therefore, look at these 52 rubbings and then decide which Chaos Stele you wish to choose!"

Yang Wu's gaze slowly swept over each picture on the wall. These pictures were all standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, and each picture had a name next to it.

You only have half an hour to choose.

After explaining the time limit, the Black-Robed Envoy walked directly to the outermost part of the corridor.

Time was of the essence, and everyone hurriedly began searching for the Chaos Stele that suited them best.

However, Yang Wu wasn't too nervous. In the Simulator, he had already come to Chaos City three times, and each time he should have chosen the same Chaos Stele.

Although it wasn't shown in the simulation, with his current Law Comprehension, he would be able to recognize it immediately upon seeing the picture representing the Chaos Stele.

All around was silent as countless geniuses stared intently at the paintings, trying to grasp the profound mystery contained within the Chaos Stele.

Yang Wu slowly scanned all the pictures, and finally, he found a very familiar feeling in one of them.

It was a Raindrop Diagram, and the name of the Chaos Stele was clearly recorded on it— 'Nine Universes'.

"It really is the Nine Universes Chaos Stele!" Yang Wu suddenly realized.

The Nine Universes Chaos Stele is one of the Supreme Treasure for studying the Law of Space. Even many great beings felt that Bolan was very suitable for this Chaos Stele.

Moreover, the Nine Universes Chaos Stele seems to be compatible with all Lower Law of Law of Space, such as Luo Feng's Law of Gold, and the Law of Earth of Luo Feng's teacher, King Zhenyan, plus Yang Wu's Law of Fire, which is not surprising.

"Then, the master I first became an apprentice in Chaos City, who was King Rank, was most likely the King Yanlong!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Even before arriving in Chaos City, Yang Wu had already learned about all 52 Chaos Tablets within the Chaos City.

Within Chaos City, the Nine Universe Lineage has a total of 18 sect leaders who founded their own sects. Among them, four belong to the Virtual Universe Company: King Yanlong, King Zhenyan, King Qianhuan, and King Jianhuang.

It's obvious that Yang Wu initially chose the King Yanlong, which shared the same attributes as him.

Without this teacher's recommendation, Yang Wu probably wouldn't have been able to embark on the path of studying the Law Essence so quickly.

Although this path wasn't suitable for Yang Wu in the Simulator at the time, ten years later, his teacher, who had been King Rank, persuaded him to give it up and even gave him some guidance. For Yang Wu in the Simulator, it wasn't bad.

"Alright, we'll be there in half an hour. Tell me which Chaos Stele you'd like to choose, and I'll record it."

Just as Yang Wu was pondering, the Black-Robed Envoy suddenly walked in and shouted to the crowd.

The Black-Robed Envoy walked in and called out to the geniuses before him.

He walked from the outermost part of the corridor inwards, asking each genius about their choices.

"I choose <Wind Shadow Chaos Stele>."

"I choose the <Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele>."

The Black-Robed Envoy walked continuously from outside the corridor into the hallway, inquiring about the choices of each genius.

Meanwhile, the geniuses who hadn't yet been asked were browsing through the paintings even faster, trying to find the one that best suited their taste.

Although there were many geniuses, the Black-Robed Envoy was very fast, and in no time he arrived in front of Yang Wu.

"Which one do you choose?" The Black-Robed Envoy had already heard that two unparalleled geniuses had emerged in this year's Genius Battle, and now he asked Yang Wu with great interest.

The other geniuses were also paying close attention to Yang Wu's choice.

"I choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele," Yang Wu said without hesitation.

"A good choice!" the Black-Robed Envoy thought to himself, then nodded, immediately noted down Yang Wu's choice, and then moved on to the next genius.

Yang Wu glanced at Bolan's choice; it was still the <Universe Chaos Stele>, unchanged.

After the Black-Robed Envoy reached the end of the corridor and recorded everyone's choices, he turned around and said, "I have already sent out your choices. Now, please follow me."

Yang Wu and the others then followed the other party out of the corridor and continued deeper into the passage.

Soon, the group arrived at an extremely spacious training ground, which covered a vast area, spanning tens of kilometers in length and width.

Yang Wu and the others stood in the training ground, while the Black-Robed Envoy stood in front of them and said, "Currently, there are 52 Chaos Tablets meditation chambers. Nine of them are occupied, while the other 43 are empty."

"Now, I will announce the names of these 43 Chaos Stele. Those who have chosen these Chaos Stele, please proceed directly to the leftmost entrance at the front. You will then be directed to the secret chamber of your chosen Chaos Stele."

"<Yanshan Chaos Stele>, <Heart Trace Chaos Stele>, <Nine Universes Chaos Stele>... <Universe Chaos Stele>!"

The Black-Robed Envoy pointed into the distance, and everyone saw the thirty-meter-high entrance on the left side of the far end of the spacious training ground.

"You should go now."

Upon hearing this, most of the geniuses transformed into streaks of Flowing Light and flew towards the distant entrance.

This naturally includes Yang Wu and Luo Feng, who chose the <Nine Universes Chaos Stele>.

After reaching the entrance, Yang Wu and the others arrived at a corridor that was 60 meters wide and 120 meters high.

Along both sides of this corridor are rows of tall bronze doors, each with ancient characters clearly engraved on it in Universal Language.

"Mother Ancestor", "Giant Axe", "Longxing"...

Before each bronze gate stood a kind-faced, three-eyed old man.

Surprisingly...

These dozens of three-eyed old men all looked exactly alike.

Yang Wu and the others arrived at the bronze gate inscribed with the words "Nine Universes".

The three-eyed old man standing at the door smiled and asked, "Are you the new recruits from Virtual Universe Company this year?"

"Yes!" Yang Wu and the others nodded respectfully.

The three-eyed old man glanced at Yang Wu, his face full of smiles, and then said to the crowd, "Hehe, you are all so young. Seeing you is like seeing the hope of humanity."

"Let me introduce myself."

The three-eyed old man smiled and said, "I am the guardian of the Chaos Stele Cultivation Chamber. You can call me 'Lord Kandeli'!"

"Lord Kandeli!" Yang Wu and the others bowed respectfully once again.

"Alright, there's no one in the cultivation room right now, so hurry up and go in to meditate!"

Kandeli instructed, "Remember, in seven days, when the gates open, you must come out immediately, understand?"

"Clear."

Yang Wu and the others nodded and then immediately went inside.

Just after Yang Wu and the others entered the cultivation chamber, a bronze door remained closed and never opened. In front of the door stood a genius.

Logically, the names the Black-Robed Envoy had previously given were all Chaos Stele that no one had been able to comprehend, so they should have been able to enter immediately upon arriving here.

However, that bronze door was indeed somewhat special, because it had the word 'universe' engraved on it.

The genius waiting there was none other than Bolan, dressed in white and carrying Blood Sword.

"Bolan."

Kandeli accurately called out Bolan's name and said with a smile, "The choice made by the Chaos Stele is the most important choice of your lives!"

"Logically speaking, my Virtual Universe Company has always respected the choices of every genius. However, your talent in space is truly extraordinary, and many beings do not want you to waste your talent."

Kandeli advised, "That's why I'm making an exception to speak with you. I hope you can think it through. It would be best to focus your time and energy on comprehending the Law of Space. You could choose a Chaos Stele that specializes in studying space, like the <Nine Universes Chaos Stele> that little guy Yang Wu chose before, which is quite good!"

Bolan had received emails from some people before, but he didn't expect to receive advice again just before he was about to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

Unfortunately, Bolan ultimately chose to continue studying the Universe Chaos Stele.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Kandeli naturally did not continue to stop him.

Rumble...

The ancient bronze gate, inscribed with the words "Universe," swung open with a roar, and Bolan once again embarked on this unknown path.

The second chapter is a little late today. I originally chose another one, the Space Chaos Stele, but in the end I felt that they were all about Law of Space. Rather than writing something that was neither fish nor fowl, it would be better to just choose the Nine Universes.

After all, Nine Universes is considered one of the top five Chaos Stele.

Then the previous drafts were scrapped...
