"Dasheng, go to the Virtual Universe Network Company's official portal and look up the details for the Universe-level Strongest Battle."

Gazing at the massive notice board that stretched for who knows how many kilometers, Huang Wuye had Dasheng look up the specific details to see how to register.

Dasheng flicked his hand, and a screen instantly materialized out of thin air. On it appeared the "Virtual Universe Company Official Website," and right there on the homepage was an incredibly eye-catching banner: "Humanity of the Universe—Universe-level Strongest Battle" special feature.

"Open it and let's take a look," Huang Wuye said from the side.

Once Dasheng clicked it open, it displayed a detailed introduction to the "Humanity of the Universe—Universe-level Strongest Battle."

The Universe-level Strongest Battle is open to all Universe-level humans.

As long as you are a Universe-level human, you are eligible to register and compete!

To be precise, the "Peak Genius Battle" is held once every 50,000 years, with two held every 100,000 years, hosted respectively by the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Martial Arena.

Like the Peak Genius Battle, the Universe-level Strongest Battle is divided into two stages: the Universe Nation Selection Trials and the Peak Grand Finals.

First, each major Universe Nation will conduct its own internal screening.

After the screening, the elites selected will participate in the Grand Finals of the Universe-level Strongest Battle for the entire human race of the universe.

Following the Grand Finals, a final ranking will be determined.

The top 1,000 in the universal rankings will receive three major rewards.

First, depending on their ranking, they will receive a cash prize ranging from 1,000 to 50,000 Hunyuan units.

Second, they will receive a quota to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment.

Third, they will become "core members" within the Virtual Universe Company.

Huang Wuye nodded; it seemed this reward was not much different from the Peak Genius Battle for the Star-level.

However, for him, the amount of wealth made little difference.

What mattered most to him were the enlightenment quota for the Initial Universe and the status of a core member of the Virtual Universe Company.

The enlightenment quota for the Initial Universe goes without saying; although it can be purchased, getting it for free is truly sweet.

Moreover, there are additional opportunities to contemplate the Chaos Stele, which is the most crucial aspect of all.

After all, the Chaos Stele is the most precious treasure of the Initial Universe.

Furthermore, as his clones increase in number, the resources Huang Wuye needs to consume will grow exponentially.

He is currently still at the Universe-level, so the clan will still provide support, but once he reaches the Domain Lord level, he will need to strive for resources on his own.

One must know that the Domain Lord level is considered adulthood within the Desolate God Clan, and in the wider universe, it is considered a true powerhouse.

This is a point where Huang Wuye must earn his own resources; after all, the clan will not raise a parasite, and it is powerhouses that the Desolate God Clan requires.

If one cannot become an Immortal, even the most stunning genius will eventually fade into nothingness.

And to become an Immortal, life-and-death trials are indispensable; no one can become a powerhouse without enduring tempering.

Huang Wuye had long known this, which is why he had prepared to participate in the Strongest Battle early on.

This is the inevitable path he must take to quickly become a powerhouse.

For someone at the Universe-level like him, there are only two paths to becoming strong quickly.

One is cultivation by a major power, and the other is the Outer Realm Battlefield.

After all, on the Outer Realm Battlefield, as long as one does not die, one can obtain the resources to grow strong quickly and transcend oneself.

However, for a genius, the Universe-level Strongest Battle—held every 100,000 years, or more accurately, every 50,000 years—is a fast lane.

It can help them quickly overtake others.

One must realize that the Star-level and Universe-level still fall under the category of "genius," but once one reaches the Domain Lord level, there is inevitably no value in further cultivation.

After all, compared to the Star-level and Universe-level, the long lifespan and fixed potential of a Domain Lord are not as reliable as a genius cultivated from the ground up.

As for Huang Wuye, on one hand:

Facing the increasing number of clones and resource demands, he must prepare for himself early.

Even if Huang Tian or the powerhouses of their lineage could prepare some resources for him, he could not accept them with a clear conscience.

In the early stages, to quickly gain the strength to protect himself, he could accept the selfless provisions from his family and clan.

But now, although his strength is not yet formidable, he has finally gained a foothold.

Moreover, he possesses clones and has the ability to protect himself.

Without threatening his own life, he is very happy to try and obtain everything he wants through his own efforts; that is quite interesting, isn't it?

The second reason is that through this channel, he can use his own eyes to witness more of the wonders of this vast world.

After all, what he pursues is not just strength, but also curiosity about the endless treasures and rarities of the universe.

There are countless races and cultures in the universe he has never seen, and various strange and beautiful landscapes nurtured by the primordial universe.

I believe no one would be indifferent to these, and Huang Wuye is no exception.

But the universe is also dangerous, so Huang Wuye understands that before enjoying these, he must possess sufficient strength.

And this Universe-level Strongest Battle, hosted by the Virtual Universe Company, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

This was the first time Huang Wuye had projected his voice to the universe, and it served as a validation of his decades of diligent cultivation, which was why he placed such great importance on it.

Although it would be easy for Huang Wuye to break into the top one thousand, the goal he had set for himself was first place.

Only first place could be worthy of his current talent, even if the time he had spent cultivating was far less than others.

However, the opponents in the Strongest Battle were not among the absolute top tier of geniuses.

While the universe was full of miracles, he, possessing such formidable talent, would not allow himself to fail.

"Little Uncle, which Universe Kingdom are we participating in the preliminary selection for?"

Just as Huang Wuye was lost in thought, Huang Hu finished reviewing the instructions and asked.

Aside from Ye Wuhen, the four of them were still in the territory unique to the Desolate God Clan, which did not belong to any specific Universe Kingdom, hence Huang Hu's question.

"Hmm, let's all go to the Meteor Universe Kingdom!"

Huang Wuye pondered for a moment before making his decision and speaking to the other three.

"Your strength is sufficient to pass the preliminary selection, so just go to the Meteor Universe Kingdom. You can keep Ye Wuhen company while you're at it.

Besides, the Meteor Kingdom Lord is a senior of our Desolate God Clan; it is only right that we pay him a visit."

Huang Wuye assessed the situation; they could likely all make the top one thousand, which would add to the Meteor Kingdom Lord's achievements.

He remembered that there were rewards for nurturing geniuses, so he wasn't worried that this senior from his clan would treat them poorly.

"Alright, then we shall go to the Meteor Sacred Land to secure our spots.

We can pay a visit to our clan's seniors while we're at it; I've heard that some of them are currently honing their skills in the Meteor Universe Kingdom!"

Huang Xue and Huang Hu had no objections. They were quite familiar with the Meteor Universe Kingdom, as many of their clan's seniors chose to go there for training after coming of age.

After all, since the Kingdom Lord was their own senior, their status there was comparable to that of princes and princesses.

They were all of the Desolate God Clan lineage, and their bloodlines were pure, making them even closer to the Meteor Kingdom Lord than the average prince or princess.

After many years of inheritance, it was not uncommon for the Meteor Universe Kingdom to have mixed-blood individuals from other races.

Once they had finished their registration, the group bid each other farewell and went off to make their preparations.
