Swallowed Star: Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Joining the Chat Group
"Let's set off for the Initial Universe!"
With the Nine Swords Venerable's command, the strange spaceship, resembling a giant sea fish, roared into action and vanished from its spot in an instant.
In the lobby.
The 997 geniuses felt an indescribable sense of oppression when facing the aura of the Nine Swords Venerable.
Everyone, including Jiang Li, could clearly feel the pressure emanating from the level of life itself.
Of course, this was just the Nine Swords Venerable naturally radiating his aura; after all, he didn't deliberately conceal his presence like the Venerable Wanshan or Abusica.
"A genius is, after all, just a genius..."
"Not a true strongman!"
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew very well that at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, no one would indulge these geniuses or restrain their aura just to make them comfortable.
"It is I who have opened the Cosmic Passage!"
The Nine Swords Venerable looked up at the outside world, his voice penetrating the spaceship and carrying out a roar.
The strange, Big Fish Spaceship continued its journey.
"Um?"
"This feeling is awful!"
"My head—no, my consciousness—is starting to hurt too!"
"What's this?!"
Many geniuses turned pale instantly. Even powerful figures like Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Hong were no exception. They covered their heads with their hands and tried their best to keep their eyes open.
"We are now in the passageway from the Original Universe to the Initial Universe..."
Looking at the group of pale-faced geniuses, the Nine Swords Venerable said calmly, "The time flow rates of the two universes are different, which has caused the time flow rate to be disordered within the passage, making you feel somewhat uncomfortable."
As he spoke.
He glanced at Jiang Li suddenly, then nodded slightly.
And at this moment.
Jiang Li was also pale, but he still stood as straight as a pine tree, resisting the pressure with his own willpower.
soon.
The uncomfortable feeling vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of relief.
"We have now entered the Initial Universe."
The Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand and said, "Open the top."
'drop'.
As the metal roof of the spaceship's interior hall opened, everyone looked up curiously, only to find the outside area dark and occasionally filled with terrifying, chaotic currents.
In the more distant starry sky, one can faintly see the heavens and earth sometimes cracking open, with a large number of strange and mysterious patterns emerging along with the cracks.
"Planets have lifespans, and so does the universe."
Seeing the astonished expressions on the faces of the many geniuses, the Nine Swords Venerable smiled and explained, "This Initial Universe is the universe in the 'beginning of the universe' period."
"If we compare our Original Universe to an adult, then the Initial Universe is like a toddler!"
"Those cracks in the universe are constantly being repaired; this is the Universe Origin. Various laws within this universe are undergoing evolution, a long process of refinement that perfects the entire universe's operation..."
Many geniuses were stunned into silence.
Looking up, is the boundless universe governed by laws?

Chapter 231. Chaos City, City Lord's Mansion
231.
"The Original Universe we inhabit was an incomparably vast and perfect universe."
As the Nine Swords Venerable spoke, his gaze unconsciously fell upon Jiang Li: "Precisely because the operation is perfect, the operation of the laws does not manifest outwardly, making it extremely difficult to comprehend the laws."
"But the Initial Universe was different. The universe was not yet fully operational, and the combination of the Origin Law was still evolving, so it was much easier to comprehend."
Upon hearing this...
The other geniuses couldn't help but look at Jiang Li. Had he been to the Initial Universe?
In response to this...
Jiang Li silent.
His Law Comprehension was so rapid; perhaps the world his avatars projected wasn't a perfectly functioning universe?
"Alright, we're about to enter Chaos City."
The Nine Swords Venerable interrupted the many geniuses' daydreams, reminding them, "Chaos City is where those who enter the Initial Universe to comprehend and cultivate reside. I hope that in thirty years, I will still see you all alive!"
"What?"
"What Your Excellency means by this is..."
"Is Chaos City still in danger?"
"Isn't this the core area of Virtual Universe Company Headquarters? How could someone still be dead here?"
Upon hearing this, all the geniuses showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
"Remember, upon entering Chaos City, first listen to the rules explained by the Chaos City Reception Envoy."
After the Nine Swords Venerable finished speaking, the strange Big Fish Spaceship slowly descended. After 997 geniuses flew out of the spaceship, it suddenly turned back and disappeared into the distance.
"The Initial Universe feels more familiar."
"... Yes, it feels very comfortable."
"..."
A group of young people stood in mid-air, exchanging ideas.
Jiang Li looked up and saw an ancient and majestic city standing in the distance, giving people an extremely profound feeling.
The city wall, weathered and worn, seemed to have endured many storms and etched countless stories upon it.
As they arrived, a black Flowing Light flew in from within the city.
"Gentlemen, I am the welcoming envoy from Chaos City!"
Accompanied by Flowing Light, a deep voice resounded in everyone's ears. It belonged to a man dressed in black battle robes, whose blood-red pupils swept over the group of geniuses as he said, "This city is called Chaos City..."
"Jointly managed by the five most powerful forces of the human race in the universe."
"Before you step into Chaos City, I want you to remember one thing!"
" In the Initial Universe, human beings are forbidden from killing each other. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on them will only face certain death!"
"Even the Universe Country Lord is the same!"
"Do you understand?"
The man in the black battle robe solemnly warned the crowd.
"Clear!"
Jiang Li and the others nodded in agreement and followed the guide towards Chaos City.
"The time ratio between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe is 1 to 3.28..."
"In other words, your opportunities to participate in this enlightenment journey will allow you to stay in Chaos City for a little over thirty years..."
As he spoke.
As the group entered Chaos City, terrifying auras crisscrossed throughout the city. Even those that were deliberately concealed still exerted immense pressure on the minds of geniuses like Jiang Li.
"Another group of little ones has arrived."
"Hehe, this year's class is hailed as the strongest ever."
"Yes, I've heard about it. There's a little guy named Jiang Li who comprehended eight Origin Law at the Stellar Level, completely transcending the scope that Stellar Level can achieve. He's hailed as the strongest World Lord in history!"
"Even if he doesn't reach the Immortal, as long as he reaches the Peak World Lord, I believe he will have the combat power to King Rank!"
"Heh, it's said that because of his heaven-defying abilities, the Machine Race even lost two Universe Venerable!"
"Hmph, Machine Race, serves them right!"
In the streets and buildings of Chaos City, many great beings chatted with each other, while countless gazes were fixed on them.
Even someone as strong as Jiang Li felt somewhat uncomfortable under such gazes.
It felt like being stared at by a series of terrifying giant beasts.
"There are many extraordinary beings in Chaos City; you must not disturb them."
"If you disturb a super-being, you will be kicked out of the Initial Universe!"
The receptionist carefully reminded them.
Jiang Li and the others only had the opportunity to participate in the comprehension exercise.
Compared to those who can reside in Chaos City for an extended period, they are nothing.
"Furthermore, there are many small buildings in Chaos City with pale white doors, which means they are unowned."
The receptionist pointed to the door and said, "As long as you place your hand on the door, the system will automatically sense and record it, making it your temporary residence."
"Remember, each person can only choose one place to live; those who misbehave will be expelled."
As he spoke,
The messenger continued leading the group forward, "Next, we're going to the heart of Chaos City: the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Boom!"
As they walked through the vast streets of Chaos City, a creature clad in full armor and imbued with the Origin Law of thunder, named 'Flying Madman,' flew over their heads, and atop 'Flying Madman' stood a young man with red hair.
He was dressed in a blue battle suit and carried a jet-black, patterned War Blade on his back. His gaze swept over the crowd as he looked down at them.
