Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 46 Born at the wrong time? Born at the right time!
Having lived a second life for over thirty years, Yu Duan finally saw a familiar face.

Kodi, the future Lord of Chaos City, has conquered the three primordial Tongtian Mountains at the cosmic, domain lord, and world lord levels.

He is hailed as a super genius who appears only once every tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of epochs.

"Your master seems rather happy to see you?" King Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile after realizing that his disciple was not at all upset.

Yu Duan smiled and said, "Teacher, if everyone of our generation is mediocre, wouldn't that be too boring?"

His tone was natural, expressing his true thoughts directly without any arrogance, but the content he said was indeed very 'arrogant'.

"Good, it's a good thing to not be afraid of difficulties."

King Qinghuan patted Yu Duan on the shoulder as usual: "Go on, you've hardly rested in the past three years. The final stage of the universe is about to begin, so take a day off today and recharge!"

"is teacher!"

……

The next morning.

In the virtual universe, in a temporarily created private space, there is a magnificent plaza.

The one thousand strongest star-level geniuses of the universe, selected through three stages—preliminary elimination rounds, arena battles, and reincarnation battles—will all gather here.

At this moment, there were only a few hundred people scattered around the square, but people were being teleported over every now and then.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed by, and the figures of more than 560 young people were teleported over at the same time.

"It's those geniuses from the Northern Divine Land!"

"Hahaha, I saw my brother-in-law An Yao. I suspect that bastard deliberately entered the cycle of reincarnation just to beat me up because he hates that I married his sister!"

"The ones leading them... must be Yu Duan and Aarons!"

"That's right, it's those two. They're said to be much stronger than the number one genius in the entire universe last year!"

Yu Duan, Aarons, and a group of other geniuses also joined the crowd, and most of them have become friends with many of the people here.

After all, they are the strongest group of star-level geniuses in the universe. If they cannot break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, they will become new students of the universe level in the Northern Holy Land, and they will need to stick together to fight against the senior students.

However, Yu Duan, Aarons, and others who are ranked number one in the world have had almost no contact with the geniuses here, let alone any friends.

“Yu Duan, the First Divine General told me some information yesterday: a monster has appeared in the Yuan Chen Universe Kingdom.”

When Aarons spoke, he had a somewhat dejected demeanor.

After enduring five thousand years of hardship at the stellar level, not only did Yu Duan appear during the same period, but a super monster also emerged who, in just two years, progressed from the basics of lower-level laws to the Nine Illusions Body.

It took him over a thousand years to go from mastering the lower-level laws to unleashing the Nine Illusions Body!

"Yes, I know... that Koti is indeed a super genius that is rare to see in thousands of eras."

Yu Duan raised his hand and patted Aarons on the shoulder to comfort him.

Then I suddenly came to my senses.

Oh no, I've caught Teacher Qinghuan's influence!
Aarons was stunned to see that Yu Duan not only had no negative emotions, but could even comfort him.

He also realized the gap between himself and Yu Duan, not only in talent, but also in mindset and perspective.

"I thought that meeting a prodigy like you, who only appears once every hundred million years, was just bad luck in my birth."

"I just didn't expect you to be born at the wrong time. If it weren't for that Kodi, you would have been the most dazzling new star in tens of thousands of years."

Aarons couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, Yu Duan smiled and said, "Born at the wrong time? You're wrong. Aarons, if you don't change your mindset, you will encounter more obstacles on your path to becoming a strong person in the future."

"This isn't a matter of being born at the wrong time, but rather—a matter of being born at the right time!"

Aarons looked at Yu Duan, whose demeanor was far superior to that of three years ago, and suddenly fell silent, remaining speechless for a long time.

As Yu Duan and the other person talked, the top 1,000 geniuses of the Universe Kingdom also completed their assembly.

Suddenly, a grand yet oppressive aura reverberated throughout the entire square.

Then Yu Duan saw his teacher, the King of Illusion, appear before them, his white robes flowing, his bearing unparalleled. Both the King of Illusion and the King of Beiming were exceptionally handsome. The King of Beiming, in particular, was so handsome that his gender was blurred.

"I am King Qinghuan, and also the team leader of this Genius Battle. You can call me senior."

The voice of the King of Illusions carried a gentle smile.

Unlike the divine generals and immortals under the king's command, he did not care about the achievements of these geniuses, and therefore did not feign authority.

Yu Duan was quite surprised to hear that his teacher had become the leader of the Genius Battle, since such a small matter would hardly have alarmed King Qinghuan.

However, Yu Duan could also sense the affection that Qinghuan King had for him. This time, his teacher was personally leading the team, mainly because of him, his personal disciple.

"Yes, senior!"

Upon hearing the title of King Qinghuan, many young geniuses became respectful, mistakenly believing that the man before them was one of the more than fifty kings bestowed by the king.

In reality, the title of "King" bestowed by the ruler is merely the pinnacle of the "Marquis" rank. The number of truly powerful "Kings" throughout the entire universe is extremely limited, less than ten.

"Little guys, don't feel pressured in this battle of geniuses. Just treat it as a training exercise and show your strongest side."

"Among you, only Yu Duan, Aarons, Peng Nuolai, and Delis are certain to become among the top 1,000 in the universe. Apart from them, the highest level of the others is probably around 2000th in the entire universe."

King Qinghuan spoke, giving these little guys a heads-up and helping them adjust their mindset.

However, a small number of geniuses still showed signs of dissatisfaction in their eyes, clearly harboring considerable ambitions to be among the top 1,000 in the entire universe.

Seeing this, King Qinghuan didn't say anything more.

While the skill levels of the top 100 in previous talent competitions might be somewhat differentiated, the skill levels of the top 1000 are quite balanced, with virtually no significant fluctuations.

"I hope you can create a miracle!"

King Qinghuan smiled and spoke, then waved his sleeve: "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, King Qinghuan and all the young people disappeared from the spot.

……

Virtual Universe, a special dimension that has been sealed for five thousand years.

This is a vast continent.

In the center of the continent stand 1008 skyscrapers.

Thousands of skyscrapers are arranged in a ring, enclosing a wide open space that has become a large plaza.

When Yu Duan and his group arrived at the square, there were already hundreds of thousands of young people chatting and strolling there.

These figures are the strongest geniuses from various cosmic nations, gathered here, totaling over a million.

About half of these geniuses are stellar-level beings who have crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws, a feat extremely rare in the outside world.

"Ahead, Building No. 0087 is the exclusive rest area of ​​our Northern Ming Universe Kingdom."

King Qinghuan pointed to the building in front of him, and then led thousands of young geniuses into the lobby on the first floor of the building.

"Buzz!"

With a wave of his hand, King Qinghuan caused ripples to spread through space and time, revealing a thousand and zero number plates ranging from 1 to 1000.

Then each number plate automatically falls in front of each person.

Yu Duan's number was naturally number 1, followed closely by number 2, Aarons, ranked according to their strength.

"These are number tags. Each child can go to their assigned room to rest according to their number. Now, the little ones can go and play freely."

The voice of the King of Illusions rang out once again, seemingly containing a special artistic conception, which suddenly calmed down the hearts of some geniuses who were a little nervous in the new environment.

"You can go and rest, or you can communicate with the geniuses from other universe countries. Before the competition starts, the Virtual Universe Company will teleport you together."

Upon hearing this, many young people immediately bowed and agreed!
King Qinghuan's gaze swept over each of the geniuses before finally settling on Yu Duan.

Noticing the gaze of his junior disciple, King Qinghuan smiled and nodded, then his figure vanished from the spot.
