Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

In the virtual universe, at the heart of a specially created plane continent.

10086 skyscrapers encircled a massive ring, with a forest plaza teeming with birds and flowers at its center.

At this moment, the plaza was already bustling with young men and women from various cosmic nations.

Looking around, hundreds of thousands of geniuses were scattered throughout the plaza, creating a spectacular sight.

"Everyone, please descend here," the soft voice of Queen Medusa echoed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Like raindrops falling, hundreds of geniuses from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation landed on the plaza, attracting the attention of other geniuses.

No!

It wasn't just the other geniuses noticing these young people; their gazes were locked onto the high and mighty Queen Medusa.

Pairs of eyes, like those of hungry wolves, exposed their inner lust.

"Tsk tsk tsk… I didn't expect Queen Medusa, my dream goddess, to be leading the team from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation this time. What a feast for the eyes."

"…"

"…"

"Hahaha, thank goodness for these little guys; otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to get close to Medusa."

"Get close!? With your ordinary Marquis-level Undying strength, you dare to get close to a top King-level like Medusa? Are you kidding me!?"

"…"

Not only were the geniuses from various cosmic nations attracted to Queen Medusa,

even the Undying Gods leading them became excited because of Medusa's arrival.

"Stop looking at this. Preparing well for the upcoming battles is what's most important."

Suddenly, someone spoke up to remind them.

Quickly, their thoughts shifted from Medusa to the geniuses of the Qianwu Cosmic Nation.

Each individual here was a potential opponent.

"Look, that young man in the blood-colored battle suit, the unremarkable one, is Lin Ye."

"The tall, wild man to his left is Rong Jun, and the one with the same skin tone as Lin Ye to his right is Luo Feng, from the same star system as him."

"These three are explosively strong, especially Lin Ye; his points are off the charts."

"It's not just Lin Ye; I've watched Luo Feng and Rong Jun fight countless times. One has considerable skill in the 'Gold and Space' Laws,

while the other has a high level of comprehension in the 'Earth and Space' Laws… both are extremely formidable opponents."

"There are really a lot of freaks in this genius battle!"

"…"

Many geniuses from other cosmic nations were observing the Qianwu Cosmic Nation team from afar, discussing them.

The latter group of geniuses could clearly hear their discussions.

One by one, they couldn't help but hold their heads high, feeling immensely pleased.

They were from the same cosmic nation and the same team as Lin Ye, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun. Hearing them praised and feared was equivalent to being held in high regard themselves.

This joy was beyond words.

However, there were also many who were secretly angry because each of them who managed to enter the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Cosmic Nation was a peerless genius, a chosen one.

Now, only Lin Ye, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun were valued by their counterparts from other cosmic nations, and they felt a strong sense of resentment.

"God of Slaughter, they think very highly of you," a female genius from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation whispered in Lin Ye's ear. This was Xue Yaoyue, the peerless female genius who advanced from first place in the Twelfth World Region.

"Unfortunately, I haven't bothered to learn about them," Lin Ye chuckled, and the figures of the top ten powerhouses from the original peak genius battle flashed in his mind—

"Bolan, Qian Shui, Jiang Mo, Lancelot, Ai Chen, Long Yun, Opattra, Uka… I never thought I'd have the chance to compete with you on the same stage."

He murmured softly in his heart, and a wicked smile gradually crept onto his lips.

As for the others, he had no interest in understanding them.

Lin Ye followed the team forward with large strides, saying in a low voice, "Xue Yaoyue, you also know how difficult it is to emerge from the World Region in first place, so it's only natural that they react this way."

"Besides… the top ten in the peak genius battle isn't my goal. You need to work hard too!"

As he spoke, Lin Ye reached out and patted Xue Yaoyue's smooth shoulder, making the latter seem somewhat flattered.

"So arrogant. See what you'll do if you don't make it into the top ten!" the female genius muttered inwardly, but an unprecedented light appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lin Ye.

Before long, the group marched through the plaza and arrived at Building 0825.

This was a building exclusively for the Qianwu Cosmic Nation. It was vast, and even with a thousand people gathered here, it still seemed incredibly spacious.

"Everyone… I now have the number plates from 1 to 1000. After you receive your number plate, enter your respective rooms according to the number on it… that's where you'll rest and reside."

Queen Medusa appeared out of thin air, suspended in the air.

With a wave of her hand, small plates rained down, each landing in front of one of the thousand geniuses.

Lin Ye reached out and directly grabbed the 'No. 1' number plate, holding it in his hand.

Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Feng Lun, Xue Yaoyue, and the others received the subsequent 'No. 2', 'No. 3'… until all one thousand geniuses had their number plates.

"You may now disperse and do as you please."

Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes swept over the 1,000 geniuses present, finally landing on Lin Ye: "God of Slaughter, you can also interact with those peak geniuses from other cosmic nations, feel their power, and familiarize yourself in advance."

"I've sent you the list and information of these geniuses to your email. Take a good look."

"Thank you, Lord Medusa," Lin Ye bowed slightly to Medusa, expressing his gratitude.

"You're welcome. We're all family," Medusa waved her hand lightly, a meaningful smile on her face.

"Family!?" Hearing this, several question marks slowly floated in Lin Ye's mind.

But before he could continue to ask, Queen Medusa's voice sounded again: "It's estimated that the organizers of this year's peak genius competition from the Virtual Universe Company will be gathering you soon. No matter where you are here, you will hear the notification."

After saying this, Medusa took another deep look at Lin Ye before floating away.

"Organizers!? Is it Venerable Nine Swords!?" Lin Ye carefully pondered Queen Medusa's words, deciding to ask Chan'er about this Medusa after this genius battle to see if she knew anything.

"Huff huff!"

Sounds of relief rang out one after another as the geniuses felt almost suffocated under Queen Medusa's powerful aura.

Now that this King-level Undying had left, they could finally relax.

Thus, the thousand geniuses formed groups of three or five, either returning to their rooms or going elsewhere…

…

The central plaza surrounded by a thousand and eight skyscrapers was extremely vast. Even if millions of geniuses gathered here, it wouldn't feel crowded at all.

Around, pavilions, terraces, and rock gardens were scattered everywhere, making it very pleasing to the eye.

The crisscrossing paths were filled with a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.

Lin Ye and Luo Feng walked side by side, leisurely strolling through it.

At the same time, large and small restaurants were randomly distributed around the plaza, all featuring the specialties of various cosmic nations.

Among them, Restaurant No. 1 was off-limits to all geniuses from the cosmic nations.

Because this was where the Undyings leading the teams gathered.

"Whoosh!"

Queen Medusa in red streaked across the sky like a long rainbow, landing at the entrance of Restaurant No. 1.

Here, many Undying Gods had already gathered, eagerly awaiting Queen Medusa's arrival.

"My Queen Medusa, what wind has blown you here!" a Marquis-level Undying greeted with a smile. "I remember it used to be that Thirteen guy who came!"

"Thirteen has gone into cultivation. The Nation Lord asked me to temporarily lead these children," Medusa replied indifferently, her tone somewhat cold.

"Medusa, I heard that a genius named 'God of Slaughter' Lin Ye has emerged from your cosmic nation. He's said to be very strong!"

"You'd better not inquire too much about Lin Ye's affairs," Medusa looked at the Undying, who was also a King-level, and said slowly, "Even our Nation Lord values this genius immensely."

"By the way, your Qianwu Cosmic Nation has also produced two peerless geniuses, 'Luo Feng' and 'Rong Jun', right? It seems like you're about to rise this time," a long-haired man with a burly figure like a small mountain and skin like the Hulk shouted, "One cosmic nation producing three geniuses. It seems our Qianwu Lord is about to have a change of luck."

"Sefulla, I heard that your Noah Cosmic Nation's genius, 'Death God Bolan,' has such a terrifying comprehension of the Space Origin Law. He's very strong, oh."

Medusa looked at the Hulk and said casually, "It's said that he's confident in taking first place."

"That's right. 'Death God' Bolan is the most outstanding super genius I've ever seen among Star-level geniuses. His comprehension of the Space Origin Law even surpasses many Domain Lords… it's simply unbelievable."

"…"

Medusa quietly listened to the Undying finish speaking before slowly saying, "Coincidentally, our Qianwu Cosmic Nation also has a God of Slaughter who can compete with Death God Bolan."

"…" Looking at Queen Medusa's calm expression, Sefulla's face showed a hint of doubt: "It seems you think highly of Lin Ye, so confident."

"Of course…" Queen Medusa raised her delicate chin, a sight that immediately amazed a large group of Undyings.

"Alright… you wouldn't want to chat with me at the restaurant entrance, would you." Looking towards the hall, a rare hint of a smile appeared on Queen Medusa's icy face.

"Let's go, let's talk inside."

"Welcome, Lord Medusa, to inspect."

"Welcome, welcome!"

"…"

And so, a large group of Eternal Undyings talked.

They were all sent here by the Nation Lords of various cosmic nations, the weakest being Marquis-level.

Someone like Queen Medusa was one of the most powerful among the three hundred Kings and Marquises under the Qianwu Nation Lord.

…

In the forest path, Lin Ye and Luo Feng walked and talked.

They were not only talking about the geniuses of various cosmic nations but also discussing their insights into secret techniques.

"Little Fengzi, how is your mastery of the 'Three Thousand Realms' and 'Darkness Realm'?"

"Not bad! With the Enlightenment Jade provided by Master, I have a very fast speed in secret techniques and comprehending the Laws. The efficiency is so high that even I am very shocked."

"That's right… there are many strong people in this peak genius battle. We must improve our strength as much as possible to deal with everything in the future."

Lin Ye looked at Luo Feng and said, word by word.

"Yes, disciple understands!" Meeting Lin Ye's solemn gaze, Luo Feng nodded heavily.

"Good!"

"This time, we are facing the most peak geniuses of the entire human race. Just thinking about it is exciting."

Lin Ye's face was filled with a confident smile. With years of hard work and battles, his strength had already made great leaps.

And with the help of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda and the Thousand Shadow Clone, his comprehension speed of the various Origin Laws was beyond imagination.

Ordinary warriors would only think that Lin Ye had a high level of achievement in the Fire and Space Origin Laws.

In fact, his achievements in other Origin Laws were no weaker than these two Origin Laws!

"This place is really big!" Luo Feng walked on the plaza, which was even wider than Earth, and could see hundreds of kilometers away.

When Lin Ye and Luo Feng walked out side by side, the entire plaza was in an uproar.

"Look, it's the God of Slaughter! I heard he has the strength to challenge the top three. He's very terrifying!"

"And the Madman! He's also an extremely powerful expert!"

"I heard that the God of Slaughter has a very high comprehension of the Fire and Space Origin Laws. I hope we don't encounter him."

Many geniuses from other cosmic nations talked to each other, and the subjects of discussion were almost all the top geniuses.

"Master, look, that's the peerless genius of the Dream Snail Wing race, 'Light Sword' Ai Chen. Although her strength may not be as good as yours, she's also very terrifying."

"The most important thing is… her beauty, oh." Saying this, Luo Feng showed a very improper smile, teasing, "Master, several Mistresses have said that if you meet a suitable and talented woman, you should find more to have children and spread the branches and leaves for the Earth."

"…" Hearing this, Lin Ye's forehead couldn't help but be covered with black lines. He turned his head slightly and looked at the beautiful girl wearing white clothes and with a pair of crystal wings on her back, like an angel, ethereal and otherworldly.

His eyes were unconsciously attracted by the crystal in the center of her eyebrows.

At this moment, the Light Sword Ai Chen seemed to notice Lin Ye's gaze and turned her head to smile at him.

"Hello!" Lin Ye also nodded slightly in a very gentlemanly manner, returning a smile.

After meeting Ai Chen, Lin Ye and the two continued to move forward. They saw many peerless geniuses who were the number one in the cosmic nations on the plaza—'Death God Bolan', 'Prince of Manka Star', 'Phantom Demon Galaxy'…

One genius after another made the blood in Lin Ye's chest boil. He looked at these young and peerless geniuses, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

He was also young and eager for a fierce battle!

And among the one thousand and eight cosmic nations, there were only so many peerless geniuses on the surface. It was unknown what super geniuses were hidden in the dark.

Each one was hiding and waiting for the last chance to explode with peak combat power.

To become famous in one fell swoop!
