Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

The pinnacle genius battle Ganwu Universe Country preliminaries, after the fifth round of the arena competition.

Ganwu continent lava island, ancient jade community.

In the villa garden, there is a pavilion made of intertwined vines.

Nineteen sat on the wicker chair with his head lowered, his elbows supporting the armrests of the wicker chair, and his palms covering most of his face, making it difficult to see his face at the moment.

Corridor on the second floor of the villa.

Li Qi and his eldest brother Eric stood in front of the window, looking at Nineteen sitting with his head bowed in the garden pavilion.

Thirteen leaned against the other wall of the corridor, his head lowered and silent.

Eric sighed softly: "Ever since I lost in the fifth round, Nineteen has been sitting in the garden. It's been almost a day."

"Because of his carelessness, he lost a duel with a great chance of winning." Li Qi said softly: "This failure is not necessarily a bad thing. It is good to let him calm down for a while."

"Eleven, you still have to persuade him." Eric said: "Although Nineteen lost in the arena, you still have the opportunity to enter the list of 1,000 people in Ganwu Universe Kingdom, as long as..."

"The reincarnation battle of the losers in this genius battle lasts for 5 years. It requires more than 50 concentrated duels every day. It requires a strong mental will to win."

Li Qi shook his head slightly, "With Nineteen's current mental state, it will be difficult to defeat the reincarnation of losers."

After hearing this, Eric was silent for a moment and then sighed: "Let him calm down first."

While the two were talking, Thirteen left silently.

Li Qi turned his head and glanced at Thirteen's silently leaving figure, and then continued to look at Nineteen in the garden pavilion through the window glass.

soon.

Thirteen's figure appeared in Li Qi's sight again. He had entered the garden and walked towards Nineteen in the pavilion.

Seeing this situation, Eric was a little surprised, "This is Thirteen?"

Li Qi said nothing, looking at Thirteen who was slowly walking along the garden path from a distance, walking towards Nineteen who was sitting with his head bowed in the garden pavilion.

Thirteen was seen walking along the path in silence to the pavilion on the side of the garden, standing in front of Nineteen who was sitting with his head bowed.

The sun shone on Thirteen's body, and the shadow of his tall body shrouded Nineteen, who was sitting with his head bowed and his face covered with his hands, making it difficult to see his face and expression.

Suddenly shrouded in shadow, Nineteen slowly raised his head and looked at the person who blocked the sun.

…

Corridor on the second floor of the villa.

"Thirteen is crazy?!" Eric looked shocked and said hurriedly: "At this time... No, I have to go down!"

"Brother!"

Li Qi took Eric's hand, shook his head slightly in the latter's puzzled eyes, and said, "Leave it to Thirteen."

"But..." Eric hesitated.

"Believe Thirteen, he knows what he is doing." Li Qi nodded.

"Alas..." Eric sighed, "Okay."

…

In the garden pavilion.

Nineteen touched his face and looked at Thirteen in disbelief, "Why did you hit me?"

"Isn't it just that you lost in the ring? It's not like you were eliminated directly!" Thirteen said coldly: "There are still 275 places for the loser to enter the 1,000-person roster of Qianwu Universe Country in the reincarnation battle. Why should you be so depressed?"

"Of course I know!" Nineteen gritted his teeth.

"Since you know." Thirteen sneered, "Then why are you doing this?"

"I'm thinking!" Nineteen said angrily.

"What are you thinking about?" Thirteen still sneered: "Thinking about how to apologize to Brother Eleven?"

"I..." Nineteen was stunned for a moment, and then defended: "I was deducing the situation at that time. Do I still have a chance to make a comeback?"

"Then why didn't you think about how to make a comeback?" Thirteen said coldly: "I have seen the video of your duel. With your speed, you can completely exchange injuries for injuries. As long as you seize the opportunity and strike first, you have a higher probability of winning. Great, but you didn’t do that.”

Nineteen words ran out, "I..."

He didn't know how to refute. He had also deduced the fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries, and it was indeed very possible to win.

"Since it's okay, then don't put on a disgusting attitude." Thirteen sneered at first, and then said coldly: "It's nothing to worry about the eldest brother and the eleventh brother."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Jiujiu said reluctantly.

"It's good to know." Thirteen turned around and said solemnly: "If you want to fight back, then go to the Peak Genius Battle Finals."

After saying that, he walked towards the villa and left a message before leaving, "The premise is that you can pass the reincarnation battle of the losers and enter the list of 1,000 people in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

Looking at Thirteen's leaving figure, Nineteen touched his slapped face and said silently: "I will definitely go to the finals of the Peak Talent Competition."

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "I also hope to meet you in the arena stage of the finals. Then..."

…

Corridor on the second floor of the villa.

Li Qi stood by the window, watching Thirteen coming out of the pavilion, and seeing Nineteen no longer bowing his head, he smiled and said, "Brother, look, this is not solved."

Eric also looked out the window, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that Thirteen would actually solve it."

"This is probably..." Li Qi sighed softly: "The person who knows you best is often your opponent."

"Thirteen and Nineteen...are not rivals." Eric frowned slightly and said, "They are all family members."

"Yes, it's family." Li Qi nodded slightly, and then changed the topic: "But having such conflicting and competitive family members is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Moreover, the first three generations of our family, who are members of the Luojia clan, have a lot of influence. The root of the conflict between the two of them lies in their discordant personalities and different paranoid directions."

After hearing this, Eric sighed softly: "The bloodline of the Luojia clan has a profound influence. Even if the family does not intermarry with the Luojia clan, there are still many people with paranoid personalities today."

"It will get better in the future. After a long period of dilution and optimization of bloodline genes, the Luojia bloodline will have less and less impact on the family." Li Qi comforted.

"The influence of blood can only be erased over a long period of time." Eric nodded lightly.

"After a long period of dilution and optimization, bloodline genes can protect most people from the influence of the Luojia tribe's bloodline, but the Luojia tribe's bloodline genes cannot be eliminated."

Li Qi said silently: "The family will definitely give birth to people with bloodline returning to their ancestors from time to time in the future. It will be difficult to eliminate the paranoia of the Luojia clan..."

In his opinion, the paranoid character of the Luojia clan comes from genetic defects, just like the Yan Shen clan created by the Mountain Guests. The character defects come from genes and are almost impossible to eradicate!

…

One day later. Villa rooftop.

As soon as Li Qi walked up the stairs, he saw Nineteen sitting on the rooftop chair standing up and calling: "Brother Eleven."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded with a smile, walked to sit across from Nineteen, and asked, "Nineteen, are you ready to participate in the Reincarnation Battle of the Losers?"

Nineteen nodded, "It's ready."

"You should be very clear about the format of the loser's reincarnation battle." Li Qi said softly: "It lasts for five years in total, and there are more than 50 duels every day."

"Brother Eleven, don't worry." Nineteen said with a normal expression: "The loser in the reincarnation battle, I will not be careless anymore, I will definitely be included in the list of 1,000 people in Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

"The reincarnation battle of the losers that lasts for five years is a great test of spiritual will." Li Qi warned: "Nineteen, if you can't hold on anymore, just give up..."

"Brother Eleven." Nineteen smiled, with a hideous scar on his face, "I have been on the Black Prison Star for a hundred years, and the five-year reincarnation war of losers is nothing to me."

"Of course, if I could, I wouldn't want to play more than 90,000 games in five years."

"But I lost in the group stage, and I had to get into the top 275 in the loser round, otherwise I wouldn't be able to participate in the Peak Talent Battle Finals."

"It doesn't matter if I lose once due to carelessness in the arena stage. With this lesson learned, I won't make the same mistake again in the future."

Having said this, Nineteen smiled and said: "Besides, the more than 90,000 duels in the Loser Reincarnation War over five years can also sharpen me, and maybe I can make a breakthrough in the law."

"Ha..." Li Qi laughed after hearing this, looking at the ferocious scar on his brother Nineteenth's face, and said, "When you return from the Reincarnation Battle of the Losers, go and repair the scar on your face."

"This scar..."

Nineteen touched the ferocious scar on his face, as if recalling the life and death experience on the Black Prison Star, which made him reluctant to remove the scar on his face.

"On a stage like the finals of a peak genius battle, you can't appear in front of the entire universe with a scar, right?"

Li Qi raised his hand and interrupted: "I know all about your experience on the Black Prison Star. Haven't you already taken revenge? You killed the enemy who left the scar on your face with your own hands."

Nineteen recalled the tragic situation after the enemy was killed by him, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, that feud is over, and it is time to let it go."

"That's right." Li Qi nodded with a smile, and then joked: "If you don't remove the scar, you might lose someone you like because of this scar."

Nineteen was slightly startled, "Probably...not so."

Li Qi leaned forward and said with a smile, "Who knows about this kind of thing?"

Nineteen thought thoughtfully, then asked: "Speaking of which, brother Eleven, why don't you find a lover?"

"I know the reason why Thirteen doesn't find a lover. His personality changed drastically after he took away his body and exploded with the blazing giant beast. Although he can suppress him a little, his nature has become violent and murderous."

Nineteen was confused, "Brother Eleven, your character doesn't have this problem, why don't you consider finding a lover?"

Li Qi was a little stunned. He didn't expect Nineteen to ask this question.

"Why……"

When he heard this question, he also seriously thought about why he didn't find a lover.

Is it because of body size?

Not really!

Li Qi asked himself, "The reason why I don't find a lover is probably because I don't know why I lost most of my memory and why the heaven-defying inherited secret method - "Nine Transformations of Yuanzhong Body Refining Technique" appeared in the depths of my mind. "!"

"In addition, there are some strange memories that pop up from time to time, and my personality..."

He remembered that in the original work, there were only two ways to become the master of the universe. One was to understand the laws of time and space, and the other was to understand the heart of the beast gods through the eight beast gods and understand a kind of fusion law.

But the strange thing is that he still remembers the third path, which is to understand one superior law and then integrate another superior law. When the two are integrated to a certain extent, he will become the master of the universe.

"The blood of the Luojia tribe makes me paranoid. The problem is that I have lost most of my memory, but the "Swallowing Starry Sky" that I have firmly memorized has not affected my personality."

Li Qi firmly remembers the original work of "Swallowing the Stars" and has completely seen Luo Feng's growth path. His character and experience are still fresh in his memory.

Logically speaking, he who lost his memory should be influenced by the original work, and his personality should be very similar to Luo Feng, but in fact, his and Luo Feng's personalities are very different.

"Inherit the secret method!"

"Heritage Crystal!"

"Cosmic Sea!"

Li Qixin said: "Inheritance crystals like the 'Molten Fire Crystal', which are equivalent to the most powerful treasures, can only appear in the cosmic sea connected to the so-called 'ancient civilization'."

"If I want to understand all this, I can only find out the truth by becoming a strong man who can enter the three Jedi places of the universe sea."

"So, I will not stop until I stand at the pinnacle of the original universe and discover the truth..."

Thinking of this, Li Qi looked at Nineteen opposite him and said softly: "I don't have any thoughts in this regard. My goal is to become a super strong person. Love is too far away from me."

"Super strong? How strong?" Nineteen asked doubtfully: "A strong person like the Lord of the Universe?"

"No." Li Qi shook his head slightly, "It needs to be stronger."

"Do you want to be stronger...to surpass the Lord of the Universe?" Nineteen thought thoughtfully, then clenched one hand into a fist and hammered the palm of the other hand, "In the future, I will also follow your goal, Brother Eleven, Move forward towards the goal.”

"Ha..." Hearing Nineteen's somewhat innocent words, Li Qi smiled, "The goal you have set is very good, but you still need to work harder."

"I will." Nineteen nodded heavily.

"Nineteen, my goal is the Lord of the Universe who stands at the top of the universe."

Li Qi sighed secretly, stopped talking about this issue with Nineteen, and started chatting about other things.

When asked about other things, Nineteen was also attracted and focused on answering.

In this way, the two asked and answered questions until the sky in the virtual universe darkened...

…

More than ten years later.

The eldest brother and Thirteen have passed the arena stage, and both ranked first in the 5-person reincarnation battle, and entered the 1,000-person roster of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

The preliminaries for this year's pinnacle genius battle Ganwu Universe Country will begin, and the reincarnation battle for the losers will begin in the arena stage. More than 90,000 contestants will compete in a total of more than 90,000 duels within five years, with an average of 54 to 55 matches per day.

After the loser's reincarnation battle begins.

Li Qi no longer paid attention to Nineteen's daily duels. Like other family members, in order to let him focus on the loser's reincarnation battle, he also briefly cut off contact with him to prevent him from being distracted and losing.

In his opinion, with a strength of nineteen, as long as his spirit and will do not collapse, it would be easy to enter the list of 1,000 people in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom through the reincarnation battle of the losers, so he focused his energy on cultivating the "Yuan Zhong Ruyi Body".

And when he received the email from Nineteen, it was already the end of the reincarnation war for the losers, and he had indeed entered the list of 1,000 people in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

It was just the content of the email that surprised him... (End of Chapter)
