Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"'Crazy Devil' Li Qi won second place!"

"Haha! Our Lava Empire won second place in this peak talent competition!"

"Li Qi is my idol. What a great honor it is to be ranked second among the geniuses of all mankind!"

With the end of the battle for the pinnacle genius of the universe, and after the Virtual Universe Company announced the rankings and released the edited images, the lava star field was boiling!

Because Li Qi, who was born in their star field, won the second place!

The second best human being in the universe!

The glory Li Qi won in this peak talent competition is enough to make the citizens of the Lava Star Territory proud and happy for a long time, and more importantly, they are proud and elated!

There are tens of thousands of stars in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and there are very few who have been born in the top ten of the peak genius competition, let alone the second place.

…

In the Ganwu Continent of the virtual universe, in a gorgeous palace on the lava island.

"Haha! My original decision was indeed right!" The Lava Realm Lord laughed loudly. He had not laughed so relaxedly for a long time.

"Gulet congratulates you." Realm Master Aoki smiled, feeling a little envious in his heart.

His friend was about to become a disciple of the great Gan Wu Kingdom Lord. Even if he was a registered disciple, this was what countless immortal gods expected and desired. Even he could not help but feel envious in his heart.

"Oh." The Lava Realm Lord raised his hand slightly, and a light curtain appeared in front of him, "Li Qi is back, I have to see him."

…

While the citizens of the Lava Star Territory were feeling proud and glorious, Li Qi was sitting quietly in a corner of the Lava Secret Realm of the virtual universe.

"It has been eighty years since I left home and went to the Star Training Camp."

Sitting quietly, Li Qi thought to himself: "Eighty years, for a strong person like the Immortal God, is just one training period, but it is most of my life."

"I haven't been back for eighty years." He said sadly, "And in the future, this time will be even longer!"

He received news from Virtual Universe Company that the spacecraft to pick him up would arrive in fifteen days.

At that time, he will take a spaceship and fly for three years to arrive at the virtual universe company's universal headquarters, and then enter the initial universe to comprehend and practice for thirty years.

The flow rate of the initial universe is different from that of the original universe. Thirty years in the initial universe is equal to one hundred years in the original universe.

And after a hundred years, he will enter the primitive secret realm to practice and temper, and this time will not last long.

"Next time I go home, I'm afraid I will already be the Territory Lord, and will be released as the supervisor of the Qianwu Universe."

Li Qi felt melancholy in his heart, but he also had some hope, "I became a member of the original secret realm, and I am one step closer to resurrecting my big brother."

In fact, he also knew that even if he became a member of the original secret realm of Virtual Universe Company, there was still little hope of resurrecting his elder brother within ten thousand years.

Uh-huh!

White light flashed, and a figure silently appeared next to Li Qi.

His Chinese-character face has three-dimensional features, four fangs protruding from the side of his mouth, and his skin is red and burly. The person coming is none other than the Lord of the Lava Realm, Gurrett!

The leader of the lava world greeted: "Li Qi."

"Yes!" Li Qi came back to his senses and found that it was the Lord of the Lava Realm calling him. He quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

He was grateful to the Lord of the Lava Realm, and naturally respectful. After all, if he hadn't concealed his physical talent for him, he would have spared no effort to train him.

He will also not have the opportunity to enter the core layer of Virtual Universe Company and become the most distinguished member of the original secret realm.

"There is no need to salute me." The Lord of Lava Realm smiled, "Now your identity is different. You are a core member of Virtual Universe Company." Li Qi said humbly: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary."

"There is no praise." The Lava Realm Lord smiled and shook his head, "I am looking for you this time, firstly to thank you, and secondly to give you a gift."

Before Li Qi could answer, he continued: "Because you entered the core level of the Virtual Universe Company, I was able to complete the trial and become a registered disciple of the great Lord Gan Wu!"

"A registered disciple of the Lord of the Witch Kingdom?" Li Qi was a little surprised. What Bolan didn't even do in the original work, the Lord of the Lava Kingdom actually did it!

In the original work, Bolan, a genius who is said to have emerged from tens of thousands of epochs, has just entered the core level of the Virtual Universe Company, and has not been accepted as a disciple by a strong man at the level of the Master of the Universe.

The leader of the Ganwu Kingdom is also the Lord of the Universe. Although he is a million points poorer... well, it's hard to say now. After all, the time has been advanced by countless thousands of years, and he should not have achieved the achievement of being the first "defeat" in the human race.

No matter what, as the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of Ganwu Kingdom should have very strict requirements for accepting disciples, even if they are registered disciples.

But Li Qi then thought about it. The Lava Realm Master had defeated the Immortal God head-on without systematic training and still had some potential. After training, he might not be able to become the Immortal King.

"That's right." The Lava Realm Lord smiled, "Although we haven't officially accepted a disciple yet, we have already decided to do so."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Li Qi congratulated.

"Haha!" The Lava Realm Lord laughed, and then said: "I said, in addition to thanking you for coming this time, I also have a gift for you."

He raised his finger slightly, and a light curtain appeared in front of the two of them, with the star map of the Lava Empire on the light curtain.

"This is the gift I give you." The Lord of the Lava Realm pointed to the area marked on the light screen, "The ten galaxies centered on your home planet Kuka."

Li Qi was very moved, "It's too expensive!"

"It's just ten galaxies. Compared with becoming the registered disciple of the great Ganwu Kingdom Lord, this is nothing!"

The Lord of the Lava Realm shook his head slightly, "If it weren't for the fact that your family is not strong enough, I would have given you the entire Lava Empire."

Hearing this, Li Qi nodded in agreement. If the Lava Realm Lord really gave him the Lava Empire, he really didn't dare to accept it.

Once he had any accident, even if he didn't die but just lost contact temporarily, this star field would become the death warrant of the Royce family!

"Then I'll accept it." Li Qi signed his name on the contract he received and officially became the lord of these ten star systems.

Seeing Li Qi sign the contract, the Lava Realm Lord smiled and said: "These ten star systems, the Empire will be entrusted to you for five hundred years, and you can end the trusteeship at any time during these five hundred years."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qi thanked him after hearing this. The Lava Realm Lord let the Empire trustee for five hundred years to help him.

At present, the Royce family cannot manage these ten star systems because they don't have enough talents and strength.

"Since my purpose of coming here has been achieved, it's time to leave." The Lava Realm Lord smiled and then suggested: "Before you go to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, you can take advantage of this time to spend time with your family."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Qi to answer, the Lava Realm Lord turned into a white light and left.

"Yes, it's time to go see my family." Watching the Lava Realm Lord leave, Li Qi sighed in his heart: "Although we can only reunite in the virtual universe, it is better than the previous light screen video call."

Thinking so, he left the Lava Secret Realm and went to the manor he bought for his family in the virtual universe Lava Island...
