The Universe Unsettled

Chapter 4: The Outcome Is Not Yet Decided

Back in the Primordial Universe.

The dissatisfaction and protests from that group of geniuses ultimately had no effect, as expected.

The Virtual Universe Company's response was that if anyone objected to the decisive battle rules of the virtual universe system, they could choose not to join the Virtual Universe Company—no one would be forced to participate.

The result was obvious: no one would give up their qualification to join the Virtual Universe Company, not even those at the outermost layer of the core.

At the same time, these thousand geniuses also understood that being ranked among the top thousand in the universe in the Peak Genius War seemed impressive.

But in the eyes of the Virtual Universe Company, they were merely one batch of 'seeds' among many being taken in—nothing to be proud of.

The Virtual Universe Company had accumulated countless geniuses over time; before they grew up, geniuses were just geniuses.

The next day, the decisive battles of the Genius War proceeded as usual. The thousand geniuses gathered in the central square of the Genius War within the virtual universe.

Including Feng Hui, the eight hundred young geniuses who were not qualified to fight stood alongside the one thousand and eight powerful Immortal Gods, watching the arena battles for the top two hundred spots.

Today, the top hundred, top ten, and first place would be decided here.

It also meant that aside from the Doomsday Secret Realm, the qualifications for the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, the Taichu Secret Realm, and the Primordial Secret Realm would be determined.

Feng Hui watched quietly from the side of the arena.

He had to admit that the Virtual Universe System's judgment was extremely accurate. In his current state, he couldn't defeat anyone on the arena.

Soon, all the arena battles ended. As expected, the first place in the Genius War was claimed by the Ape Race genius Guge, who had ranked first in the trials, earning him entry into the Primordial Secret Realm.

Recalling Guge's battles, Feng Hui couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Although the Venerable presiding over this Genius War had said that this year's batch was quite ordinary, with no exceptionally outstanding geniuses.

The strength of this year's first-place winner, Guge, still deeply shocked Feng Hui. Wielding an ancient war blade, relying on his profound insights into the Law of Gold and the Law of Space, almost no one could withstand a single blow from him.

It was hard to imagine what kind of brilliance the legendary genius Bolan, called a once-in-a-million-years prodigy in the original work, must have possessed.

The thousand young geniuses and the one thousand and eight powerful Immortal Gods all stood in the central square, listening to the black-armored, silver-horned man who radiated a powerful aura as he spoke.

"First place."

"Second to tenth."

"Eleventh to one hundredth."

"One hundred and first to one thousandth."

"These four tiers have all been selected. This edition of the Universe Human Peak Genius Selection War has, as of today, come to a perfect conclusion."

The black-armored, silver-horned man smiled. "Although your batch is relatively ordinary, I believe that after dozens or even hundreds of eras, many of you will make your names known across the entire universe."

"Soon, someone will contact each of you and escort you to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters across the universe. You will gather there, then proceed to the 'Primordial Universe.'"

"From now on, your path will no longer be ordinary."

"The Virtual Universe Company will do its utmost to support you. Whether you become super existences that shake the universe, ordinary experts, or fall along the way—it all depends on you. Work hard. Your path as a strong one has only just begun!"

The black-armored, silver-horned man's voice echoed in everyone's mind.

This Genius War had officially come to an end!

Once the Genius War ended, whether it was the lofty Black Armor Silver Horn Venerable or the one thousand and eight powerful Immortal Gods, they all left directly.

But Feng Hui and the other thousand young geniuses remained, because regarding the arrangements to take them to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters, the staff nearby informed them that there were still some matters to handle.

A moment later, they were led to a second-floor meeting room in the central square's Restaurant No. 2.

The staff collected everyone's addresses down to the exact planet. Afterward, the Virtual Universe Company would dispatch spaceships individually to pick them up and take them to the company's headquarters.

Feng Hui knew that the Virtual Universe Company was doing this to ensure that geniuses from various universe countries could arrive at the headquarters simultaneously. By combining the company's spaceship resources with the geniuses' specific addresses, they would devise the most optimal pickup plan, which would take about three years in total.

"As expected of the Virtual Universe Company, the number one technological power of the human race—they're sending out a thousand F-Class Spaceships at once to pick up a thousand geniuses."

Feng Hui sighed inwardly. "Otherwise, an ordinary spaceship traveling from any universe country to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters within three years would be nothing short of a fantasy."

After everyone's travel arrangements were settled, people began disappearing from the meeting room one by one, all leaving.

After leaving the virtual universe, Feng Hui slowly opened his eyes on a desolate planet.

"So this is the Yuanchen Universe Country?"

Although Feng Hui knew from his original body's memories that he had risen step by step from the Yuanchen Universe Country, it wasn't a personal experience, so he felt no particular nostalgia for his homeland.

Recalling the information in his memories, Feng Hui thought to himself, "The Blood Robe Tower's master of the Blue Wave Empire? That enemy who destroyed your clan—as long as I don't die, I will personally take revenge for you in the future."

With this thought, his mind became clear.

A surge of boldness rose in Feng Hui's heart, and a dazzling light shone from his eyes.

So what if he was in the Doomsday Secret Realm? The outcome was not yet decided. The path of a strong one had only just begun; walking faster didn't mean walking farthest.

Besides, the division of secret realms was not set in stone. Secret Realm Qualification Battles, climbing the Heaven-Piercing Mountain... there were many ways to stand out from the Doomsday Secret Realm.

Most importantly, the most crucial opportunities for Cosmic Level members of the Virtual Universe Company were all available to Doomsday Secret Realm members.

First, there was the Chaos City in the Primordial Universe three years later. All four secret realms, regardless of rank, could choose one Chaos Tablet to study.

One of the rewards for the top thousand contestants in the universe-wide Genius Battle is the opportunity to enter the "Primordial Universe" for enlightenment, and the most important treasures within this Primordial Universe are the 52 Chaos Tablets, each of which records a vast number of mysterious patterns and the like!

These 52 Chaos Tablets represent 52 paths of cultivation, avenues that lead directly to the pinnacle!

Comprehending any single Chaos Tablet in its entirety would instantly make one a true super-existence in the universe, and even establishing a cosmic nation would be effortless.

Or rather, among those cosmic nation masters, those who have fully comprehended a complete Chaos Tablet are extremely rare.

By the time Feng Hui and the others arrive at Chaos City in the Primordial Universe, they will have the chance to select one of the Chaos Tablets for enlightenment. Of course, opportunities for enlightenment are scarce and exceedingly precious.

After leaving the Primordial Universe, the most important training ground for Cosmic Level members, the Doomsday Secret Realm, is also open to all members, though they can only choose one Deadly Level mission and three Dangerous Level missions.

Feng Hui understood that the training world for core Cosmic Level members was filled with hidden opportunities; as long as he seized one, he would have a chance to defy fate and change his destiny.

Gazing at the starry sky above, Feng Hui's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

His path to becoming a powerhouse had only just begun...
