The sight brought back memories for Wei Heng.
As members of the same Sequence, they were not far apart in age.
Wei Heng had been a renowned genius in his corner of the world since childhood. As he grew older, most of Earth's factions came to know his name.
Success had come young, and Wei Heng was proud—arrogant, even.
Until he met Yaoyao.
Hailed as a genius who appeared only once in countless years, he had carried his clan's hopes. They believed he had the makings of a Heaven-Reflecting One. Monster defeated him with ease.
That battle had been a crushing rout. He could not fight back at all.
Wei Heng was devastated, but he truly was an exceptional genius, and soon pulled himself together.
At the same time, feelings he could neither name nor explain began to stir in him for Yaoyao.
That was hardly strange. Countless people across the Starry Sky had fallen for Yaoyao after witnessing her grace.
From then on, Wei Heng set his sights on Yaoyao and chased after her.
But he gradually realized that even without Yaoyao, he was not Earth's greatest genius.
There were six others roughly on his level.
Within the Top Ten Under the Starry Sky Sequence, there was a definite gap between the Latter Six and the Top Four.
There was a gap, too, between the Latter Nine and the one in first place.
Wei Heng was a genius, yet on Earth back then, he had begun to seem like just another face in the crowd.
Of course, that crowd was the Top Ten Under the Starry Sky.
After the Primordial Era ended, Wei Heng continued his evolution and soon became a Peak Saint.
Sometimes he wondered whether he finally qualified now.
Unfortunately, reality struck him with a resounding slap
