Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Virtual universe, Ganwu Continent.

On a special floating island, 1,000 geniuses representing the Qianwu Universe Kingdom gathered together to participate in the peak genius competition.

"Long time no see, Lichi."

"It's not that long, just three years."

"Haha, you may not know that I have not had a good time in the past three years. It has been like a year. I am so looking forward to the stage where the peak talents will compete in the finals."

"Me too, just not as exaggerated as you."

A group of geniuses greeted acquaintances and chatted with each other. For a while, the square on the floating island was a little noisy.

suddenly!

An invisible coercion enveloped all the geniuses present, as if a bloody aura filled the entire square, making everyone present feel frightened and terrified!

There was even a genius who was not strong-willed enough. His body was shaking and he could not control himself. He fell directly to the ground.

An extremely majestic voice sounded, "Is this the genius who will represent our Ganwu Universe Kingdom to participate in the finals of the Peak Genius Competition?"

While he was talking, a man in a gray-white battle suit appeared in front of the geniuses on the square.

"Except for a few people, you are so different from the previous class!"

The man in a gray suit said, looking at the genius who fell to the ground, with a little disdain in his words.

The geniuses lowered their heads. Facing this immortal strongman who exuded terrifying pressure, they could only listen silently, even if they were not angry at all.

The man in gray and white battle clothes said solemnly: "I am Immortal, the leader of this genius battle. You can call me 'Lord Kou Ji' or 'Master Kou Ji'."

The leader of the Kouji Army, who was wearing a gray and white battle suit, glanced at the post-19th generation in the crowd and said softly: "Among the 1,000 of you, except for Arthur Royce, there is a chance to break into the top 1,000 in the universe."

"As for the others." Commander Kou Ji shook his head slightly, "There is no hope."

As soon as these words came out, many of the geniuses clenched their fists and felt suffocated in their hearts.

"I know that some of you must be unconvinced, but the results of the last peak talent competition have proven that I was not wrong at the time."

Commander Kou Ji said calmly: "Except for Li Qi Royce who was ranked second in the universe in the end, no one else broke into the top 1,000."

"In the history of peak genius battles, there are also peerless geniuses who were average at the beginning and suddenly broke out in the final peak battle. But you..."

Having said this, Lord Kou Ji smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I am looking forward to having such a genius among you to break into the top 1,000 in the universe to prove that I was wrong."

Hearing this, the geniuses from all the star regions of Qianwu Universe Kingdom felt dissatisfied.

They all understood that the leader of the Kouji Army looked down upon them and did not think they were peerless geniuses who could fool him.

What was different from other geniuses was that the eldest brother Eric, who was standing in the crowd, acted very calmly and did not show that unconvinced look.

Thirteen on the side listened silently. Although some violent emotions rose in his eyes, they did not burst out after all.

"Okay, let's set off now and head to the finals of the Peak Talent Battle."

As the leader of the Kou Ji Army finished speaking, the 1,001 people present turned into white light and disappeared into the square of the floating island.

…

virtual universe.

There is a newly opened space, and there is a vast continent in the space.

The 1,000 geniuses of Ganwu Universe Kingdom were teleported simultaneously under the leadership of Lord Kou Ji and appeared on this vast continent at the same time.

A middle-aged man in a white robe stepped forward and saluted the leader of the Kouji Army respectfully: "The Ganwu Universe Nation team, there are 1004 buildings in front of them, and your Universe Nation team is arranged in Building No. 0002."

"Um."

Commander Kou Ji smiled and nodded. Compared to the previous building No. 0435, he liked the numbers of this session better.

When 1,000 geniuses looked at the 1,004 buildings and the beautiful square in the center of the buildings.

The leader of the Kou Jijun shouted: "Follow me, and go to the building to allocate accommodation first."

Later, after landing, 1,000 geniuses followed Lord Kou Ji into Building No. 0002.

And their arrival also attracted the attention of the geniuses in the beautiful square.

"It's a team from Ganwu Universe Country. Someone from them won second place last time, so the building number is 0002."

"It must be Li Qi Royce. I heard that he is now even better than the last number one Kodi."

"I've heard about it too. By the way, did you know? Three of Ridge Royce's brothers are participating in this talent competition."

"Three brothers? Didn't they all pass the preliminaries of the Universe Kingdom?"

"How is it possible, if I didn't pass the preliminaries of the Universe Kingdom, I would tell you this?"

"I heard that among the three brothers of Richie Royce, one named Arthur Royce understood the law of time and was able to break into the top 1,000 of this year's genius competition."

"The law of time among the two superior laws? So exaggerated?"

The arrival of the Ganwu Universe Nation team caused quite a stir in the center of the square.

Especially the news about Rich Royce, who came second in the last genius battle, aroused the desire of countless geniuses in the field.

…

Building No. 0002, first floor.

There is only one hall on the first floor, and the hall is very large. Even if 1,000 geniuses gather together, they will not feel crowded.

boom!

The invisible pressure was released and spread to the entire hall with Lord Kou Ji as the center. This immediately caused all the geniuses present to concentrate on resisting the oppression of this invisible pressure.

However, this pressure went away just as quickly as it came.

"I have number plates from 1 to 1000 here. Each of you has received a number plate. You can enter your respective rooms to rest with your number plate."

After the Commander Kou Ji finished speaking, he waved his hand and scattered the number cards in his hand.

The number plates floated down one by one and landed in front of everyone. Each person's number plate had a different number.

Nineteen reached forward slightly and caught the number plate floating in front of him. There was only one number on the number plate, "1".

The eldest brother Eric beside him had the number "2" on his hand.

The number plate number of Thirteen is "31".

"Okay, let's disband now." Commander Kou Ji said: "You can move around freely, whether it is to rest or play in the central square. The virtual universe system will notify you when it gets dark."

After saying that, Commander Kou Ji walked out and walked towards Restaurant No. 1.

"Brother, the number plate in your hand..."

After Thirteen received the number plate, he glanced at the number plate in the hand of his eldest brother Eric, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

…

Restaurant No. 1.

Unlike other 98-seat restaurants, this is a restaurant that belongs exclusively to the leader of the immortal god and cannot be entered by other geniuses.

As soon as Lord Kou Ji entered the restaurant, he was greeted by many immortal gods leading the team.

"Oh, Kou Ji."    "Long time no see, Kou Ji."

This immortal god was sitting casually in the restaurant. When he saw an acquaintance arriving, he said hello and then continued chatting.

"Kou Ji, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom has another genius. I heard that the little guy named Arthur Royce is being competed by so many immortal kings to accept him as a disciple?"

"I heard about it too. It seems that you finally became a disciple of King Aurora?"

As soon as Lord Kou Ji sat down, two immortal gods opened their mouths to ask questions, both asking about Nineteenth.

"Yes, that little guy worshiped the Aurora King." Lord Kou Ji nodded slightly.

Since this was not something worth keeping secret, he answered directly.

An immortal god clicked his tongue and said: "Li Qi Royce's younger brother has become a disciple of King Aurora again. Is that little guy probably going to be able to enter the top 100 and even compete for a spot in the Hunxu Secret Realm?"

Another immortal god retorted: "How can it be so easy to enter the top 10 Hunxu Secret Realm? Judging from the images I watched of the little guy in the reincarnation battle, it would be good if he can enter the top 1,000."

"We can't rule out this possibility. After all, he is under the guidance of King Aurora. Maybe under the guidance of King Aurora, his understanding of the law of time has improved rapidly?"

"How can it be so easy to comprehend the higher laws? His brother Li Qi's talent for space laws is so amazing. Didn't he also rely on his high perception of the lower laws to enter the core level of the Virtual Universe Company?"

"What you are saying is that in the history of mankind, there are not many geniuses with high talents in the upper laws and low talents in the lower laws. Maybe that little guy is such a genius."

"If you say that, why not just ask Kou Ji directly, how is that little guy's talent for the Law of Time?"

The two immortal gods sang in harmony, and finally looked at the leader of the Kou Ji Army who was drinking.

Not only the two of them, but other immortal gods who heard the conversation of several people also cast their eyes over.

"Don't ask me!"

Seeing many immortal gods looking at him, Lord Kouji hurriedly said: "I don't know about that little guy's progress in understanding the laws of time. After all, he was taught by King Aurora, not me."

"Besides, it's not like you don't know that the reason why that little guy is being scrambled by so many powerful kings to become disciples is that besides his own understanding of the law of time, there is another important reason..."

Commander Kou Ji didn't finish his words, he just stopped.

The immortal gods nodded after hearing this, and they all understood what another important reason was.

That's because Arthur Royce's brother is Li Qi Royce!

It’s the monster-level genius who emerged in tens of millions of epochs. He is the beloved disciple who surpasses the Lord of the Universe and sets the original record of the Universe-level Tongtian Mountain! Li Qi Royce!

As long as such geniuses do not perish permanently, they will most likely become sages of the universe in the future.

Therefore, for those who are powerful enough to be crowned kings, being able to accept a disciple with good talent and establish a relationship with Li Qi, a monster genius, is a sure-profit deal no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, it is not easy to become a disciple of a powerful king. Under normal circumstances, there will be a test. If you cannot pass the test, you will just be an ordinary registered disciple.

The test of the extremely powerful King Aurora is more difficult. After many immortal gods learned that Arthur Royce worshiped King Aurora as his disciple, they all agreed that the probability of him passing the test of King Aurora was low.

However, they didn't know what the test of King Aurora was, and they just secretly guessed that the test would be difficult.

But if they knew that King Aurora gave Arthur Royce the test after entering the Mysterious Realm of God, they would probably have to increase his chances of completing the test by two levels.

"Oh, let's not talk about that little guy."

After an immortal god heard the subtext of Kou Ji, he did not dare to continue talking on this issue.

Because he might offend the king-conferring expert, he decisively changed the subject and said: "Compared with the previous one, the level of this genius battle is somewhat unsatisfactory."

High emotional intelligence, not satisfactory.

Low emotional intelligence, a lot worse.

"It is indeed worse than the last one. When our Noah Universe Kingdom participated in the preliminaries of the Universe Kingdom last time, there were more than 1,000 geniuses who had realized a trace of the law, but this time there were only about half." An immortal god said. .

"Only half less? The number of geniuses in our universe country who have understood a hint of law is only a quarter of the previous generation."

"My side is only one-third of the previous one."

"One fifth."

"That's too much for you, Penggu Universe Kingdom is not even one-tenth of the previous one!"

"So exaggerated?"

When the immortal gods talked about the level of this genius battle, they all complained loudly, and the scene was like a competition.

After talking about this, each of the immortal gods understood that the level of this talent competition was low, not even a little bit worse than the previous one.

As if their luck had been taken away, the talents of these ten thousand years seemed to be concentrated in the previous session, resulting in fierce competition in the previous session, while the talents in this session were withered.

Not to mention the third place in the previous session, he is barely considered the strongest illusionist in the only category, Fei.

Even Nuno, who is ranked fourth or fifth, might be able to take first place in this session.

While a group of immortal gods were chatting.

A tiger man who was more than six meters tall, wearing a conspicuous golden armor, and exuding the aura of being out of bounds, walked into Restaurant No. 1.

Seeing the arrival of this tiger man, a group of immortal gods quickly raised their voices and said respectfully: "I have seen the venerable man."

"I've met His Holiness."

Then, the immortal gods on the second floor also hurriedly came down to salute and pay homage to the Lord of the Universe who was responsible for presiding over this peak genius battle.

"Um."

The golden-armored tiger man who was called the Venerable nodded slightly and left directly after showing up at Restaurant No. 1.

After the golden-armored tiger man left, a group of immortal gods suddenly started talking.

"Unexpectedly, the person in charge of this talent competition is Venerable Jinmu."

"It's not that Venerable Jinmu has a gentle temperament. Why is it different from the legend?"

"Haha, if you were to host this talent competition, I guess you wouldn't be in a good mood."

"Yes, that is Venerable Jinmu. If it were another Venerable who would preside over the genius battle, most likely..."

A group of immortal gods were secretly rejoicing while talking.

Fortunately, Venerable Jinmu is presiding over this talent battle. If it were a Venerable from other giant axe fighting arenas, he would not look down upon the poor leaders of this talent battle when they see that the level of this talent battle is so poor.

Soon, it was approaching evening.

Venerable Jin Mu summoned the geniuses of 1004 Universe Kingdom and the immortal gods who led the teams of each Universe Kingdom to give a brief speech.

Then, it was announced: "This genius battle will be held early tomorrow morning."

…

The first battlefield is the secret battlefield of Endless Island.

No. 092 Barracks Base, in the villa.

"Three years have passed, and the finals of the peak talent competition have begun."

Li Qi, who was concentrating on practicing "Yuanzhong Ruyi Shen", opened his eyes and said softly: "I don't know how big brother and the others have made progress in the past three years, and whether they have any hope of entering the core level of the giant axe fighting arena."

Having said that, his consciousness entered the virtual universe and prepared to watch the battle of geniuses in the primitive manor... (End of this chapter)
