After three years of Dark Universe, the spaceship entered the Original Universe and activated the full-scene simulation. A vast starry sky appeared around them, but in the distance ahead, there was a supercontinent silently floating in the deep space of space.
This scene shocked both of them.
"Among the celestial bodies we commonly see in the night sky, most are spherical, but this is the first time I've seen an entire continent like this," Zhang Junbao said, standing up and gazing into the distance.
Planets, stars, nebulae, and all sorts of celestial bodies have drifted and wandered through the universe countless times. Occasionally seeing the wreckage of a spaceship, or even seeing another Starry Sky Behemoth standing alive in front of them, would probably not surprise Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng. But seeing a vast and boundless continent in the universe is truly awe-inspiring.
Even though Zhang Junbao already knew, knowing and actually seeing are two completely different things!
This isn't Virtual Universe; this is reality!
"How big must it be?" Luo Feng murmured.
Beside this giant continent floating in the starry sky are some stars and planets, but compared to the continent, they are as insignificant as sesame seeds.
"Your Highnesses!" Sha Wu approached and said with a smile, "The diameter of this continent is billions of light-years long!"
"What? A continent billions of light-years in diameter? How could nature possibly form such a continent?" Luo Feng's eyes widened; this continent completely shattered his understanding.
"Of course, such a continent does not exist in nature. It was created by the powerful figures of my Virtual Universe Company through countless eras of transformation. The Law, principles, and technological methods contained within it are extremely complex. Only the great and powerful figures at the top of the company could create such a miracle!"
The surrounding stars, planets, meteorites, and other celestial bodies are all formidable defensive weapons.
"You mean, the operation of this continent is completely in accordance with the Universe Laws?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"Naturally, everything in the universe must conform to the Law and regulations. If something seems strange, it only means that our understanding of these Law is still inadequate."
"That's true. The methods of Immortal Expert are beyond our current comprehension." Zhang Junbao shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.
Even Immortal Expert can manipulate stars at will.
With the incredible technology of the Virtual Universe Company and the protection of countless powerful individuals, those modified stars and planets are probably just for show, since even a World Lord knows they are weapons...
The true defensive trump card of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters is far more complex than that.
With Sha Wu and Feng Zhu's explanations, Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng were amazed throughout the journey.
Without experiencing it firsthand, one cannot imagine that such wondrous and magnificent wonders exist in the universe.
Finally, the spaceship arrived at the entrance passage to the mainland and stopped. Led by Feng Zhu and Sha Wu, the two disembarked from the spaceship.
They entered a strange, colorful corridor. The latter half of the corridor was transparent, allowing them to see the beautiful starry sky and the towering mountains of the continent.
"Your Highnesses, we can only guide you this far. Others will be attending to you from here on out, and our mission is now complete," Feng Zhu said with a smile. "We wish you both even greater success at headquarters and continued good fortune in your martial endeavors!"
"Thank you, Mr. Feng Zhu, thank you, Mr. Sha Wu!" Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng said.
"It is our honor to accompany Your Highnesses for three years!" After saying this, Feng Zhu and Sha Wu smiled and turned to leave.
The people who were supposed to greet them had already arrived.
"Your Highness Zhang Junbao, Your Highness Luo Feng, we have come to greet you on the orders of the Venerable One. Please follow me!" the leader said respectfully.
"Please!" Zhang Junbao nodded.
Just as they were about to set off, several people appeared ahead and delivered the items they had ordered from the spaceship.
This included food for Cloud-Touching Vine, as well as weapons and equipment ordered by Luo Feng.
After the handover, they continued on, following a group of people into an oval-shaped hall.
The entire hall was transparent, and looking up, one could see the endless starry sky, and even spaceships and Immortal Expert, flying by like shooting stars, which was extremely magnificent.
" Junbao!"
" Luo Feng!"
"Hahaha, you two have finally arrived! The two in seclusion!"
As soon as the two entered, many people rushed to greet them, and a burst of hearty laughter filled the air.
" Rong Jun, Wuka, Jiang Mo, Qian Shui..."
The two greeted each other.
"Finally, I've met you two in real life, hahaha..." Savage Rong Jun opened his arms and strode over, about to give the two of them a hug.
He was still the same, barefoot, wearing a short-sleeved shirt that looked like a casual outfit, wild and unrestrained.
"Enough, you Savage! How long has it been since you took a bath? Don't you know you stink?" Zhang Junbao pushed Rong Jun away and said with a laugh.
With Rong Jun's height of over three meters, Zhang Junbao looked like a child in front of him.
"You don't understand, this is the charm of the wild!"
"We're not women, so who cares about your wildness? If you keep acting recklessly, believe me, I'll beat you until you put on a wild howl right here!"
Zhang Junbao's disgusted look made Rong Jun feel uncomfortable.
" Junbao, you really have a way to deal with him. Before you arrived, we were all in trouble. Rong Jun's nickname ' Savage' is absolutely true!" Wuka said with a smile.
"There are quite a few people here!" Zhang Junbao said.
"That's quite a lot!"
Yi Feng, Ai Chen, and others arrived one after another and came over to greet them. Even Death God Bolan stood aside and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Hundreds of people had already gathered in the hall, huddled together in twos and threes, but there were clear distinctions between them. Those who had ranked similarly in the Genius Battle were grouped together, and people from different secret realms had also formed small groups, creating their own circles.
However, since they were all geniuses, they were naturally arrogant, and some of them were still unwilling to admit defeat. Moreover, in the past three years, everyone had made great progress, especially some who didn't have good secret techniques in the past... In these three years, they exchanged for secret techniques that suited them, and their progress was extremely great. Their cold words and veiled mockery were so disgusting that it made one's teeth ache.
Although they had used the Origin Force to muffle the sound, Zhang Junbao could still detect them. He ignored it; it was just the complaints of a few little ants, not worth wasting time on.
Soon after, all one thousand people had gathered.
A tall, thin man with red eyes, shrouded in an elegant white robe, appeared. With a wave of his hand, power surged forth, enveloping Zhang Junbao and the others, and leading a thousand geniuses away.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a huge spaceship, which looked like a giant fish and was even shaking its head and wagging its tail.
"In the universe, alloy spaceships are at the E-class, pure metal spaceships can reach the F-class, and this one clearly surpasses the F-class! It's actually a big fish; I wonder what it would taste like if I cooked it."
A voice murmured softly. Zhang Junbao turned around and saw that it was Qian Shui, the younger sister of the two siblings. This rare female genius had cultivated the Law of Water to an extremely profound level, and unexpectedly, she was also a glutton.
Unlike the men present who were marveling at the spaceship's powerful efficiency, she was actually concerned about whether it was edible. It's clear that men and women think completely differently.
"This is G-class spaceship formed by the fusion of a strange, Immortal Level Metal Lifeform. It shouldn't be edible, right?" Ai Chen said from the side, almost causing Zhang Junbao to stumble.
There aren't many female geniuses who can make it into the top 1,000, and Qian Shui and Ai Chen are close in strength, so it's natural that the two of them ended up together.
The topic of their discussion was indeed quite different from that of the other geniuses. Zhang Junbao quickly shielded his senses, feeling that these 'wild and inappropriate' words might make him laugh out loud.
Just as a group of people were discussing the fish-shaped spaceship, an invisible pressure enveloped everyone.
The dozen or so Immortal inside the spaceship, including the tall, thin man with red eyes who was leading them, all bowed slightly.
Zhang Junbao stared intently, and before them appeared a purple-scaled man in a cyan battle robe, none other than the supporter of this year's Genius Battle, the Venerable Nine Swords!
Although he stood there, he gave people a sense of emptiness, as if he were a projection rather than a real person.
Zhang Junbao sensed it briefly and found that the space where the Venerable Nine Swords was located was completely empty, as if no one existed there at all, which was extremely strange.
"Did the Venerable Nine Swords completely erase the spatial fluctuations at his location?" Zhang Junbao couldn't help but wonder.
At that moment, he noticed that the Venerable Nine Swords was looking at him with a faint smile.
Clearly, his actions had been discovered by the Venerable Nine Swords. If anyone else had acted so rashly, they might have been reprimanded by the Venerable Nine Swords; daring to probe a Universe Venerable at will could easily incur a swift and severe punishment. But he was Zhang Junbao, the top genius in this competition, so things were different.
Geniuses often receive preferential treatment.
The Venerable Nine Swords turned his head and said, "Let's set off for the Initial Universe!"
The Big Fish Spaceship carrying a thousand geniuses vanished instantly with a flick of its tail fin, taking them to the passage leading to the Initial Universe.
The Initial Universe is a place different from the Original Universe; it is a newly formed, nascent universe. The Primal Secret Region, the Primordial Secret Realm, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and Earth Apocalypse Secret Region, and the Apocalypse Secret Realm are still within the original Original Universe; they are some unique Secret Realm Land within the Original Universe.
Inside the spaceship, a thousand geniuses remained silent, trembling with fear. Facing more than a dozen Immortal, and even a Universe Venerable, the oppressive aura emanating from them naturally inspired reverence in everyone.
This is the instinctive submission of life! Whether it is Immortal or Universe Venerable, the Life Gene Level is far higher than theirs.
"Stop!"
A Lei Ming shout rang out from outside the passage, its terrifying pressure filling the 999 geniuses inside the spaceship with dread. Even though some of them had already broken through to the Universe Level, it was to no avail.
Zhang Junbao's eyes flickered slightly.
"It's me!" The Venerable Nine Swords's voice rang out, "Open the Cosmic Passage!"
"Yes!"
"Boom!"
A deep sound came from outside, and the spaceship continued its journey.
But at this moment, a strange, twisting force permeated the spaceship, causing these geniuses to change their expressions and experience splitting headaches.
"This feeling is awful!"
The scene was blurry, my vision was blurred, and everything around me seemed hazy and folded, even my thoughts were in Chaos.
"We are currently in the passage between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe." The Venerable Nine Swords looked at the group of pale-faced young people and said with a faint smile, "The flow of time in the Initial Universe Original Universe and the flow of space are different, which causes the spacetime flow within the passage to be disordered, making you feel uncomfortable."
" Junbao, I can't see clearly!" Luo Feng gritted his teeth, squinted, and turned to look at Zhang Junbao.
Zhang Junbao sat cross-legged, his face showing no sign of pain, and even a hint of excitement.
"Hold your breath and concentrate. You don't know much about the Time Law. The time and space around you are distorted. This is an excellent opportunity to comprehend the Law!" Zhang Junbao's voice entered Luo Feng's ears.
Hearing Zhang Junbao's words, Luo Feng struggled to sit up, forcing himself to calm down and sensing the fluctuations of the surrounding Law.
The other trainees were in great distress; most of them had collapsed to the ground, their faces pale and their eyes watering. Only a very few were able to stand, and even they were swaying, unable to resist the effects of this spatial distortion.
Zhang Junbao's telepathic message naturally did not escape the notice of the Venerable Nine Swords. He turned his gaze to Zhang Junbao, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
Zhang Junbao sat cross-legged in his seat, his eyes closed, and an aura of Law fluctuation emanated from his body.
"He actually integrated himself into the surrounding Spacetime Distortion and comprehended the changes in the Law!" Venerable Nine Swords exclaimed. "As expected of a genius who has stepped into all ten basic Law of the universe, he really doesn't let go of any opportunity to become stronger."
Who could possibly be his teacher, such a genius?
This is where two universes meet, where time and space are completely distorted. Others would have a hard time just resisting, but not only is he unharmed, he's even using it as a secret realm to cultivate the Space-Time Law. He truly has a genius!
A few minutes later, the spaceship paused slightly, and the Chaotic Space-Time returned to normal.
Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of them, let out a breath, while the many students who had collapsed on the ground got up with grim faces.
This passage dealt them a heavy blow; the arrogance that had grown with their strength over the past three years was completely swept away.
Zhang Junbao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a regretful expression. "What a pity. If this power of Spacetime Distortion and interweaving had continued for a little longer, I might have been able to reach the point of convergence between the Time Law and Space Law."
Fortunately, we've finally gotten some clues.
I have already stepped into the threshold of the Universe Origin Law, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, space, and time. However, the difficulty of further harmonizing metal, wood, water, fire, earth with the Space Law, wind, thunder, light with the Time Law, and all ten different Law is much greater.
Hopefully, these few decades in the Initial Universe will yield some results.
" Junbao, how are you? Why do you look so regretful?" Luo Feng, having regained his composure, asked Zhang Junbao.
"It's a real pity. If we could do this kind of time travel between different universes hundreds of times, that would be wonderful! It's just a shame that the Virtual Universe Company probably wouldn't agree to it," Zhang Junbao said with a regretful expression.
The other geniuses turned extremely pale upon hearing his words. Just one instance of Spacetime Distortion had nearly made them all vomit, and he wanted hundreds more? Was he a devil?
"I just had a sudden realization, and my understanding of the Space-Time Law has taken another step forward," Zhang Junbao said calmly.
"You're really awesome!" Luo Feng gave a thumbs up and said admiringly.
"You... you really are something else..." Rong Jun exclaimed awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
Not far away, Bolan also clenched his fist. He had extremely strong spatial talent and had also comprehended the Wind Origin Law. He wanted to use the Law of Wind as a springboard to comprehend the Time Law and achieve the dual Law of time and Space Law, but he had not succeeded yet.
The recent Spacetime Distortion nearly made him collapse, and he felt nauseous. However, Zhang Junbao not only escaped unharmed, but also took the opportunity to gain insights and progress further in understanding the Space-Time Law, which saddened Bolan greatly.
All the other geniuses bowed their heads and sighed, realizing how tragic it was to be born in the same era as Zhang Junbao.
Bolan was closest to Zhang Junbao, which intensified his feeling of always being unable to catch up with him.
At this moment, the Venerable Nine Swords spoke up, "Open the top!"
hiss
The metal roof above the spaceship's main hall miraculously split open automatically, revealing a completely transparent outer layer. Instantly, the area above the hall became transparent, allowing everyone to look up and see the outside world through the transparent layer.
Zhang Junbao also looked up and immediately saw that there were some Chaos Qi floating around outside.
In the distance, one could faintly see the heavens and earth cracking open from time to time, and even see a large number of strange and mysterious patterns flowing at the edges of the cracked space. Threads of materialized Law were strung together, and the mysterious patterns on the threads were floating, just like a loom, weaving the heavens and earth to become larger and larger.
"This is the Initial Universe!"
