Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

66th World Zone.

A bustling city, now dilapidated, right in the middle of a wide intersection.

A green-haired youth, standing atop a cyan, wheel-like telekinetic weapon, hovered in mid-air amidst the surrounding skyscrapers. He suddenly spoke:

"Water Moon! Water Moon! Water Moon! Water Moon!..."

The sound traveled far and wide, echoing through the city.

Suddenly, survivors began to emerge from the dilapidated windows of those skyscrapers.

"Who is it? Who is challenging Shuiyue?"

"A windmill! It's a windmill!"

"These two are really perverts. This is going to be interesting."

Will Shuiyue come?

"Of course they'll come. They've already got enough points; there's no reason for them not to."

Thor was also at one of the windows, staring intently at the green-haired youth at the street corner.

Whoosh! A hazy figure streaked through the air from afar.

……

In the 72nd World District, Gao Sheng sat in a restaurant chair and looked at his arm guards.

Participant: Gao Sheng Wei Di (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 42501588

Ranking: 6

World Sector: 72

"The strongest opponent I've encountered is the Wind Witch, but her strength is still slightly inferior to Luo Feng's."

"It's probably impossible to get first place directly; we have no idea where the top five are."

For a whole month, only the Wind Witch allowed Gao Sheng to use the Serpent Fire Realm.

Gao Sheng returned to the terrace by the courtyard and silently waited for the preliminary selection to end.

「预选结束倒计时，60……59……58……57……56……」

A majestic, deep voice echoed in the minds of all the survivors in the 100 world zones.

「10……9……8……7……6……5……4……3……2……1！传送。」

All survivors in the 100 world zones vanished instantly, and then each of the virtual worlds collapsed and dissipated, turning everything into nothingness. At the same time, the final rankings of each world zone were made public.

The world zone was closed, and Gao Sheng was directly teleported to the skies above Black Dragon Mountain Island.

His body reverted to the apprentice level, and all his weapons and items disappeared.

Xiao Ai also appeared on his shoulder.

The beeping sound continued.

"Master, we have received 545 call requests and 885 emails..."

"Never mind it for now, log off."

In the luxurious hall of the spaceship where the high-ranking officials of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were located, thousands of people were celebrating with open arms.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! Single-digit ranking! Double-digit ranking! Five in the top 100,000! This time, my Black Dragon Mountain Empire has made a name for itself! We are now in the top ten among all medium-sized universe nations! This time, we will definitely enter the top 10,000!"

The emperor laughed heartily.

The ranking list on the screen dazzled thousands of people.

Black Dragon Mountain Empire's pre-selection quota: 5

Rank 6 in World Zone 72: Gao Sheng Wei Di (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Ranked 49th in World Zone 1: Luo Feng (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Ranked 228th in World Zone 66: Southern Silk Road (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Rank 598, World Zone 18: Hong (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Ranked 865th in World Zone 37: Nabini (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

The rankings in the preliminary rounds are highly random and don't mean much. To get into the top 10,000, you need to be in less than one star region on average. Besides, medium-sized universe countries are relatively poor star regions, so it's hard to say.

Because the qualifiers weren't broadcast live, the battles weren't visible, and no one except Pero knew the true strength of these individuals. Otherwise, they would probably have said that three of them would definitely be in the top 1000.

On Weihu Star, in the villa where Gao Sheng and Nan Si lived in seclusion, Gao Sheng opened his eyes.

"Young Master..." Nan Si immediately hugged Gao Sheng.

"Nansi? What, you came out first?"

"Yes, but it's alright." Nancy smiled.

"Okay, let's go online first," Gao Sheng said.

In the virtual universe, at the Jiuxingwan residential area, Gao Shengnan, Luo Feng, and several others appeared one after another, their relatives and friends already gathered at the villa's entrance.

"Young Master!"

"son!"

"Sister Nansi!"

They all rushed over immediately.

The same applies to Luo Feng's side.

"Luo Feng, why don't you all come over here?" Gao Sheng beckoned.

"Come over here, there are more people here," Luo Feng waved.

"Haha, okay. Let's go, to Luo Feng's place."

The lobby of this villa can comfortably accommodate dozens of people.

Over the years, many of these people have become old neighbors and acquaintances.

"elder brother!"

"Young Master!"

"grandfather!"

"Dad!"

"sister!"

Thirty or forty people were gathered in the hall of Luo Feng's villa, creating a lively atmosphere.

Luo Feng's family bustled about, serving various fruit platters, drinks, and wines.

"You two are amazing, one is 6th and the other is 49th," Thor sighed, sitting on the sofa.

"Whether you're first or in the top 1001, it doesn't really matter; you all have to participate in the second round," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

Thor patted his bald head and sighed, "You guys all made it through, but me, I almost did, I'm 1385th."

Hong said, "It's not bad. Although I can go to the second round of the arena, it's mainly about participation."

This time, both Hong and Thor ranked much higher, their realms were a level higher than in the other timeline, and the secret techniques they cultivated were more suitable for them.

"Nansi, you lost on the last day?" Gao Sheng asked.

Nan Si smiled and said, "Yes, I was already in the top 100, but I lost to that Wind Wheel guy. I dropped out of the top 200."

Thor said, "Many people watched that battle, including me. That Wind Wheel was indeed powerful, probably on par with the Third Brother."

It's normal that the secret passage to Gaosheng is the windmill; Nansi has only been touching the laws for a short time.

"Have you all received a lot of emails?" Gao Sheng asked.

"Yes, many of them are from large organizations in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, offering various conditions," Luo Feng said.

Hong said, "This shows the difference in rankings. I have some too, but not nearly as many as Luo Feng, and the second-in-command has even fewer."

Luo Feng said, "I refuse them all."

"You guys still have matches to play, but mine is over," Thor laughed. "I've also received some emails; I'm preparing to join the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance as an internal member."

"The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is quite good," said the old man in the mist. "It's very free, without any constraints."

Gao Sheng and Nan Si also received many emails, mostly from large organizations in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. As for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's organizations, no one invited members of the Wei Di family.

Not long after they started chatting, Gao Sheng received a call from the clan leader, who said the clan wanted to celebrate their success.

Gao Sheng had no choice but to take his leave and went to the clan chief's villa.

The Weidi family, including Patriarch Pero, two Domain Lord Elders, and all the Universe-level Elders, were all in Pero's villa, simply like holding a family elders' meeting.

In fact, the Wei Di family has a private manor on Black Dragon Mountain Island, but the manor is located in a floating plane, and only those with cosmic-level strength can enter it.

……

After spending most of the day in the virtual universe, Gao Sheng and Nan Si finally went offline.

On Mount Weihu, in the mountaintop villa, Gao Sheng and Nan Si opened their eyes at the same time.

"Young Master!" Nan Si's eyes were brimming with tears.

"Hehe..." Gao Sheng laughed and gave Nan Si a princess carry.

The two hadn't seen each other for almost a month; absence makes the heart grow fonder.
