Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

It was getting close to evening.

The leaders of each genius team of the 1004 cosmic countries, the great immortal gods, all came to the entrance of Restaurant No. 1, either on the first floor or on the second floor, chatting casually.

"With Kodi's understanding of the laws of space and time, maybe after tens or millions of epochs, he will become a 'space' or 'time' venerable."

"Becoming a venerable? How easy is that!"

"Too much, even if Kodi is extremely talented, it is not that easy for him to become a venerable."

"Yes, let alone becoming a venerable, with his current understanding of the laws, it may be difficult for him to even become an immortal god. After all, the deeper the understanding of the laws, the harder it is to become immortal. Everyone knows this."

"That's right. The five giants of our human race have cultivated geniuses for endless years. I don't know how many geniuses who can understand the laws as the world master have been born, but the number of them who can become immortal is also limited."

"Yes! The deeper the understanding of the laws, the more solid the foundation, and the more solid the nucleus. If you can't break the shackles of the nucleus, you can only be trapped in the world master and become a broken world after a thousand epochs."

The immortal gods present are all confidants of the masters of the major universe countries, and they also know some secrets.

While these immortal gods were chatting, a loud voice suddenly said: "With the talent that Kodi has shown so far, he is already a peerless genius that appears once in millions of eras. If he does not die in the future, there is a certain probability that he will become a universe master."

The loud voice echoed throughout the first and second floors of Restaurant No. 1, and all the immortal gods on the first floor turned their heads to look.

At the main entrance of the restaurant, a man with gray-black hair, a fiery red battle suit, and many fine hairs on his face walked in.

He stood there as if he did not exist, as if he was not in the same time and space as the other immortal gods present.

Boom!

All the hundreds of immortal gods on the first floor stood up, including several of the king-level immortals, and all bowed to show respect.

"Your Excellency!" Hundreds of immortal gods said respectfully in unison.

"This time, my virtual universe company held a genius battle, and you major universe countries strongly supported it. On behalf of our virtual universe company, I would like to express my gratitude." The man in the fiery red battle suit smiled.

"This is what we should do."

The voices of immortals rang out from the first floor to the second floor.

"Yeah." The man in the fiery red uniform smiled and nodded, saying, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go gather those little guys."

After the man in the fiery red uniform left, the hundreds of immortals on the first floor and the immortals who kept coming down from the second floor began to discuss.

"It turned out to be Venerable Gu Lun."

"I heard that Venerable Gu Lun has only been a Venerable for less than ten thousand years. I didn't expect that he would host the Universe Peak Genius Battle held by the Virtual Universe Company this time."

"Before becoming a Venerable, Venerable Gu Lun was a powerful king-level warrior. He was also famous among the immortal king-level gods and killed countless alien immortals in the battlefield outside the domain."

"Speaking of which, Venerable Gu Lun has been trapped in the king-level limit for countless years. Now that he can break through and become a space Venerable, it can be said that he has fulfilled his wish."

These immortal gods sighed. It is too difficult to become a Venerable. For example, Venerable Gu Lun also stayed in the king-level limit for countless years before he was able to break through and become a universe Venerable.

Each of them is an immortal god. They have extremely high authority in their respective universe countries. They are all confidants of the universe country masters and are first-class big figures in the universe country.

Some planets and stars can be destroyed by them with a flip of their hands. However, if they can become a Venerable, they already have the ability to occupy a large star field and build a universe country.

When the Space Master waved his hand, the stars moved, the space changed, and the so-called planets were like glass marbles in front of them.

...

In the evening.

Li Qi, who was eating delicious food with Lanka in Restaurant 45, suddenly had a voice in his mind, "All participants of the 1004 Universe Country, gather at the central square."

Li Qi stood up unconsciously, not only him, but all the geniuses in the restaurant stood up.     1,004,000 geniuses, either flew from the sky, or flew out of the residential building, or gathered from the edge of the central square to the center.

Millions of geniuses are all like this!

Just a moment!

A large and neat square team composed of 1,004,000 geniuses stood on the central square, and then... a million geniuses woke up.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Hey, why are you here? I was just in the house."

"This is..." Listening to the discussions in his ears, Li Qi looked around and said suddenly: "The finals of the Universe Peak Talent Battle have begun."

At this time, there were 1,004 immortal gods standing in front of the square. These immortal gods naturally exuded their pressure, the pressure exuded by thousands of powerful immortal gods.

In an instant, the millions of people in the entire square were all quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Welcome to participate in the Peak Talent Battle held by our Virtual Universe Company." A gentle voice came into everyone's ears.

Everyone looked in shock.

In the empty air in front of him, a man wearing a fiery red battle suit and gray-black hair appeared.

He had a smile on his face, but he stood in the air, like an ancient god king, and the natural and faint aura he exuded made millions of young people surrender involuntarily.

And!

Although the man in the fiery red battle suit could be seen with the naked eye in the distance, all the geniuses present felt as if the great supreme being was not in the same space as them. The sense of time and space confusion made people feel very awkward.

"1004 universe countries, each universe country selected 1,000, a total of more than one million geniuses."

The man in the red battle suit stood in the void, looking down at the millions of geniuses below, and said in a gentle voice, "Our virtual universe company will select the strongest 1,000 people from among you and absorb them into the core of our virtual universe company."

"One million of you are competing for these 1,000 places."

"The rules are as follows."

"Tomorrow, all of you will enter a 'trial space' separately. Our virtual universe company has prepared more than one million trial spaces for you, one for each person."

"There are a total of seven trial towers in the trial space! Each trial tower has seven floors!"

"Start from the first trial tower. After you have completed the first seven floors, you can go to the second trial tower... until you die and are kicked out of the trial space!"

"Calculate the points based on your performance in the trial space."

"The 1st to 100th place in points will be directly recruited as core members of our virtual universe company without further screening and will receive 100 places."

"The 101st to 7300th place, these 7200 people will fight in the arena to compete for 900 places."

"As for those after 7300th place... all will be eliminated!"

The words of the man in the red fire battle suit stunned the millions of geniuses below.

There are 1,004,000 people this time, which means that nearly a million people will be eliminated in just one trial space. The rules are too cruel!
