Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

(Mainly talking about family, please subscribe with caution)

Virtual universe, lava island of Ganwu Continent.

On the street where people were coming and going, a group of citizens of the universe were discussing excitedly while pointing at the huge black banner in the sky.

On this completely black list, there are handwritings that emit dazzling white light.

"Humanity in the Universe - Battle of Peak Geniuses"

“Once in ten thousand years!”

"Coming soon!"

"It is hosted by the Giant Ax Arena and all cosmic nations."

"Are you a genius? You can't find any opponent at the same level? Do you want to become a powerful person famous in the universe? Then join the 'Peak Genius Battle'."

"Here, there will be fierce battles between billions of geniuses from many cosmic nations in the entire universe!"

"For details, please visit the official website of the 'Giant Ax Arena' through the virtual assistant."

The black banner is extremely huge. As long as you are on any continent or island in the virtual universe, you will definitely see this black banner when you look up, because this is a grand event held twice every ten thousand years by humans in the universe.

…

"The peak genius battle that happens once in five thousand years is about to begin."

Leaning on the railing of the rooftop of the villa, Li Qiyao looked at the huge black list for a moment, then turned back and asked softly: "Second father, how are you preparing?"

On the rooftop of the villa, in addition to Li Qi, there were four men wearing casual clothes and wearing combat uniforms under their leadership, sitting or standing.

These four men are not only similar in appearance, but also have common features, black hair and black vertical pupils!

And these four people are the four family members of Li Qi who are about to participate in the genius battle.

Second father, Ron Royce.

Big brother, Eric, Ron Royce.

Thirteen, Gerry Royce.

Nineteen, Arthur Royce.

Second father Ron smiled and said: "We have been prepared for a long time. We have been waiting for this moment for more than four thousand years."

"Eleven, just watch." The eldest brother Eric smiled and nodded, "According to the evaluation of the leader of the Lava Realm, we have a high chance of entering the top 1,000 in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

"Brother Eleven." Thirteenth Grid said in a deep voice: "My eldest brother, Nineteenth and I have all realized a hint of the lower law, and even have a chance to compete for the top 1,000 in the universe."

"Hey." Arthur Nineteen glanced at Thirteen and sneered: "It's nice to say it, but don't let it slip at the critical moment."

Listening to these obviously unreasonable words, Li Qi frowned slightly and said, "Nineteen!"

"Brother Eleven, don't worry." Arthur Nineteen smiled brightly when he heard this, but the scar on his face made his face look a bit ferocious at the moment.

"My eldest brother and I will definitely be among the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Although my second father has not understood any of the rules, he has stayed in the ninth level of the domain for a long time. There is a good chance that we will be among the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"As for someone..." At this point, Nineteenth Arthur's smile faded, "Maybe he won't even be able to qualify for the world preliminaries."

"Nineteen! Don't go too far!!"

Thirteen Grid shouted in a low voice with an unhappy expression, his voice suppressing a trace of violent emotion.

"Tsk." Nineteenth Arthur said disdainfully: "What, you want to practice with me? You can't even beat my eldest brother, but you still want to beat me?"

Hearing these disdainful words, Thirteen looked angry, "You..."

"Thirteen, nineteen." The eldest brother Eric advised softly: "You should stop making trouble today, your eleventh brother is still here."

"snort!"

After hearing what the eldest brother said, Thirteen and Nineteen, who were standing on both sides of the villa rooftop, snorted at the same time.

Li Qi was still leaning on the railing of the rooftop of the villa, looking at Thirteen and Nineteen, who were obviously not on good terms, with a headache.

The personalities of Thirteen and Nineteen are not compatible. After the former seized the body of the blazing giant beast, he was influenced by the bloodline of the starry sky giant beast, and his already paranoid personality became even more bloodthirsty and violent.

The latter was sentenced to a hundred years in prison on the Black Prison Star by Li Qi during the family trial incident. After surviving the Black Prison Star, he developed a paranoid personality of the Luojia clan. Due to the body snatching incident, Shisan became increasingly distasteful to him.

After each got the chance to seize the body, the two practiced together in the lava secret realm for more than four thousand years. It is said that during this period, the two often had "friendly discussions" in the virtual universe.

Anyone who loses will definitely work harder after the 'friendly discussion' in order to win back in the next 'friendly discussion'.

At the beginning, the two were evenly matched in terms of strength, and each had his own victory or defeat in the 'friendly competition'. However, as the time spent practicing in the lava secret realm grew longer and longer, the gap between the two gradually became apparent.

According to Li Qi's expectation, the one with the best talent among the three should be Thirteen who took away the Explosive Beast. He should also be the strongest, but the real situation is that Thirteen's strength is not as strong as the three brothers. Vaguely at the bottom among people.

Because he had taken away the Heizhuo clan, Nineteen had seven points in talent for the Law of Light, and he was able to firmly suppress Thirteen in the subsequent 'friendly competition'.

As for the Thirteen Body-Seizing Explosive Behemoth, he was quite talented in the Law of Fire, and he also understood a trace of the Law of the Origin of Fire. However, he lost more than he won when facing his elder brother who also understood a trace of the Origin of Fire.

Li Qi asked: "Nineteen, I heard that the Lord of the Lava Realm found you an immortal spiritual teacher who is good at the law of light?"

"Yes, Brother Eleven." Nineteen nodded and introduced: "That immortal god is a disciple of King Aurora, and it is said that his strength is very close to that of the Immortal Lord.

"After he received the invitation from the Lord of the Lava Realm and heard that I was Brother Eleven's younger brother, he promised to guide me until the end of this peak genius competition."

Hearing this, Li Qi nodded slightly and said: "If you achieve good results in this peak genius competition, I will give the immortal god a generous gift."

"Thank you, Brother Eleven." Nineteen thanked him.

"Second father." Li Qi said to the only elder present: "Your goal this time is to enter the secret realm of witchcraft, right?"

"Yes." Ron, the second father, nodded and said with a helpless smile: "My talent is a bit lacking, so I can only set my goal to enter the secret realm of dry witches."

"The difficulty of entering the secret realm of Qianwu is much easier than that of the top 1,000 people in the universe."

Li Qi consoled him: "During the peak genius competition, Qianwu Universe Country will select the eliminated outstanding talents to be included in Qianwu Secret Realm. Even if they do not enter the top 1,000 of Qianwu Universe Country, they may still be selected to enter Qianwu Secret Realm."

"I know, I am still a little unwilling after all." Second father Ron sighed: "I have stayed in the ninth level of the domain for thousands of years, and I have never been able to comprehend the original law of fire."

Hearing this, the four people present, including Li Qi, were silent. They were all people who had realized the law, and they also knew how difficult it was to realize the law.

Even a genius like Li Qi is making slow progress in the original laws of space. After all, it becomes more difficult to understand the laws later.

Of course, these are people who have realized the law, but for people who have not realized the law, it is very difficult to realize the first trace of the original law of the universe! Big brother Eric asked: "Eleven, will you watch this battle between peak talents until the end?"

"As long as you are not eliminated, I will watch until the end." Li Qi said with a smile, "So, I hope you can make it to the last day of the finals."

"Brother Eleven, I won't let you down." Nineteen said.

Thirteen nodded and said: "Brother Eleven, I will go to the last day of the finals."

After listening to what the two said, Li Qi smiled and nodded, "Brother, what about you."

The eldest brother Eric smiled and said: "I can only say that I will try my best and strive to be among the top 1,000 in the universe."

"Oh, the top 1,000 in the universe." Li Qi smiled, "Brother, these words are not modest at all."

Under the huge black banner in the sky, Li Qi and others were chatting on the rooftop of the villa.

On various mainland islands in the virtual universe, countless stellar geniuses have signed up on the official website of the Giant Ax Arena to fight for the title of peak genius!

…

Time passed, and the new peak talent battle began.

More than 7 billion contestants in Ganwu Universe Kingdom are distributed to 100 world areas to fight. Only the top 1,001 in each world can enter the next stage of the competition.

In the starry sky 100 worlds away.

"The second father is in District 7, the eldest brother is in District 24, Thirteen is in District 15, and Nineteen is in District 80."

Li Qi rented a spaceship and was watching the world qualifying match between the top geniuses and Ganwu Universe Country.

He once invited his father and mother to come and watch, but his mother refused, so he had to watch the game alone.

"It seems that Thirteen is greatly influenced by the bloodline of the Blazing Behemoth, and his fighting style is somewhat violent and cruel..."

World District 15, in a forest.

Thirteen holds a big sword, and its field of fire covers all enemies, making those enemies suppressed in the field and unable to exert their full strength.

Then, he used the wide open and wide sword skills to kill people in the crowd, leaving broken limbs and broken arms everywhere.

"Well... Thirteen's swordsmanship is great. Every blow is aimed at killing the enemy, but the force is well controlled and there is no waste in the shot."

After watching Thirteen's situation for a while, Li Qi controlled the spaceship to go to the 7th world area to watch the second father's qualifying match.

After spending some time, he found the location of his second father Ron, who was entrenched in a high-rise building. It seemed that he had cleared most of the contestants in the high-rise building and never moved again.

"Is this the plan to wait a few days before killing?"

Seeing that the second father who was entrenched in the high-rise building had no intention of moving, Li Qi vaguely guessed his intention, which was the same as his original thoughts when he participated in the Peak Genius Battle.

After learning that his second father would not take action for the time being, he went around to check the level of the top talent players in this year's competition and whether they were up to the fierce competition of his year.

After spending two days and observing more than twenty worlds, Li Qi came to a conclusion, "The level of the contestants in this Peak Genius Competition is a bit lower, and the competition is not as fierce as mine."

"In my peak talent competition back then, more than a thousand contestants who passed the world preliminaries alone understood a little bit of the law. Now this competition is much worse."

As far as District 7 is concerned, Li Qi didn't find a genius who understood the law at all. At first, he didn't give up.

So, he observed all the cities in the world area. Maybe not all the contestants he observed, but it can be said that he observed most of them, but he still couldn't find any genius who had understood the law.

He then observed multiple worlds before making his assertion.

"Judging from the current level of Ganwu Universe Country in this talent competition, the second dad has a good chance of entering the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country."

After watching the second father for several days, Li Qi could naturally judge the former's strength with Li Qi's vision.

As well as the observation results of the ninth-level field contestants in other worlds, the second father is at the top level among the ninth-level geniuses in the field, both in terms of field application and technical strength.

After all, the second father has been in the ninth level of the domain for more than a thousand years. Without being able to understand a single rule, he can only polish his own skills, and there is no shortage of secret techniques in the lava secret realm.

"It seems that after becoming the registered disciple of Lord Qianwu, the authority of Lord Lava has been greatly improved. The secret technique used by Second Dad is not low, and it is suspected to be the secret technique created by the immortal gods. Although it is only the basic part, it is enough to defeat geniuses of the same level."

Speaking of this, Li Qi nodded gently, "Yes, after I officially became a disciple of the teacher, the authority I obtained has reached the level of the king, and now the authority is even higher than the limit of the king."

"Lord Qianwu is a universe venerable after all, and he is also a universe venerable affiliated with the universe virtual universe company. It is normal to increase the authority after becoming a registered disciple."

The strength of Lord Lava is comparable to that of ordinary immortal gods. After becoming a disciple of Lord Qianwu, he should have the authority of ordinary immortal gods, and the level of secret techniques he can purchase has also been improved.

As far as he knows, Lord Lava once obtained a treasure suspected to be the inheritance order of the beast god in an adventure. In addition to the inheritance order, he may have obtained other treasures, so he is not a master who lacks money.

With a Hunyuan unit and authority, he can naturally purchase the entry-level secrets of the ordinary immortal level, which is also reflected in the secret resources of the Lava Secret Realm.

"The Lava Realm Lord has increased his investment in the Lava Secret Realm. Is this because of my determination to rise last time?"

Li Qi couldn't help but wonder if the Lord of Qianwu Country promised something, so that the Lava Realm Lord, who had achieved his goal, began to increase his investment in the Lava Secret Realm again.

"If someone from Big Brother can enter the top 1000 in the universe this time, the name of the Lava Realm Lord will probably be very loud. A Realm Lord has cultivated geniuses in the top 1000 of the universe for two consecutive sessions."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "He is called the cultivation master of Qianwu Universe? Then the Lava Secret Realm became the second base for cultivating geniuses under the Qianwu Secret Realm, specializing in participating in the peak genius battle and geniuses entering the Qianwu Secret Realm..."

Thinking back to the time when he participated in the peak genius battle through the Lava Secret Realm and became the second in that peak genius battle, the name of the Lava Secret Realm had already been made.

As his performance in the virtual universe company gets better and better, the number of geniuses coming from other medium-sized universe countries to join the Lava Secret Realm gradually increases. It is said that the total number of geniuses in the Lava Secret Realm is now close to 100,000, and this is the result of raising the entry standard.

"It is a good thing that the Lava Realm Lord has increased the investment in the Lava Secret Realm. The more outstanding descendants of the family also enter the Lava Secret Realm through the newly built star training camp."

"Well... the current development of the family is good. The newly built star training camp is in the ten star systems under my name. It is considered to be the exclusive star training camp of my Royce family."

Li Qi is not very concerned about the development of the Royce family. He only hears a little about the development of the family during gatherings and meetings.

As he becomes stronger, this situation will become more serious in the future. Now he has to practice for hundreds or thousands of years, so it is difficult for him to pay too much attention to the family.

"The family can be left to Sixth Father and others. I just need to be the pillar of the family."

Li Qi has a clear position for himself, so he did not interfere with the development of the family.

"Hmm... I finally found a contestant who has realized a little bit of the rules."

He was distracted by observing the world qualifiers, and finally gained something while thinking... (End of this chapter)
