Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 58 A Great Wind Rises, Clouds Fly High: The Battle of Geniuses [Fourth Update]

On this day, the same scene unfolded across the entire Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, and even across the 1008 Universe Kingdoms, on countless inhabited planets.

Above the sky, an enormous golden scroll floated in mid-air, its size so vast that it almost covered half the sky.

This is the "Suspended List" personally placed by the Virtual Universe Company.

The notice was made of pure energy, with golden light flowing around it. It was covered with countless names, each representing a star-level powerhouse who had signed up for the Cosmic Genius Battle.

The battle of cosmic geniuses has begun.

Lan Yangxing, the ancestral home of the Luo family.

The huge central square was teeming with people, gathering the most outstanding group of young people in the entire Silver Sand Star System over thousands of years.

They are all stars.

They are the hope for representing the Luo family and the Silver Sand Galaxy in this battle.

-

Lu Yun and his sister Luo Qing stood at the very front of the crowd.

Behind them were outstanding members of the younger generation of the family, such as Luo Tianyu and Luo Haichen, and even Xia Yan, a genius from an affiliated family, participated in the competition.

Further on, there were star-level geniuses from three thousand inhabited planets, representing various races.

At the highest point of the square, Clan Chief Luo Shan and six elders stood solemnly.

Luo Shan's gaze slowly swept over the young and energetic faces below.

"Children."

"Look up at the notice in the sky."

Everyone instinctively raised their heads, gazing up at the sky-covering golden light curtain and the countless names on it, like the sands of the Ganges.

"This time, it's a grand event hosted by Virtual Universe Company, covering the entire territory of humankind."

"One thousand and eight universe kingdoms, countless star systems, and trillions of geniuses will all gather here."

"Each of you will compete on the same stage with those legendary figures, the descendants of those immortal powerhouses, and those peerless prodigies favored by the rulers of the universe."

"I know that many of you feel stressed, confused, or even afraid."

"Because our opponents are too powerful."

"but!"

"We, the descendants of the Luo family, the sons and daughters of the Silver Sand Galaxy, have never feared a challenge!"

"This is a trial, but also an opportunity!"

"This is an opportunity for you to see the gap between yourself and truly top geniuses! It's an opportunity for you to break through your limits in a life-or-death struggle!"

He took a deep breath and looked intently at everyone.

"I won't ask you to achieve any particular ranking."

"I only ask that you summon all your courage, ignite all your fighting spirit, and fight! Fight!"

"Don't think about the outcome, don't think about winning or losing, just make this journey worthwhile, and don't let your hundreds or thousands of years of arduous cultivation go to waste!"

"Let the whole universe see, in our Silver Sand Galaxy, there are no cowards!"

These words ignited the passion of the ten thousand geniuses in the square, their hearts surging with heroic spirit. Their previous tension and unease were completely replaced by a soaring fighting spirit!

"war!"

It's unclear who was the first to roar out in anger.

"War! War! War!"

Luo Shan nodded in satisfaction.

Luo Shan nodded in satisfaction.

His voice once again resounded throughout the entire square.

"Everyone should sign up!"

He waved his hand, his voice filled with power.

Under the guidance of the elders, tens of thousands of geniuses in the square began to conduct the final registration confirmation in an orderly manner through the virtual universe network.

The crowd slowly dispersed.

In the end, only the clan leader Luo Shan, the six elders, and Lu Yun, who had been specially left behind, remained on the high platform in the square.

The previously heated atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Luo Shan turned around, the heroic spirit on his face fading, replaced by a deep solemnity.

His gaze finally settled on Lu Yun.

"Luo Yun".

Luo Shan spoke slowly, his voice low and deep, "This time, the matter is of great importance."

"The people behind you, and the other geniuses in the Silver Sand Galaxy, they are all outstanding."

Luo Shan paused, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "However, the vast majority of them haven't even touched the threshold of the domain."

"On a stage like the Cosmic Genius Battle, without a grasp of the field, the hope of achieving results is very slim."

"Therefore, all our hopes are pinned on you alone."

"If you can get into the top one million in the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom."

"If we can achieve this ranking, the pressure on our Luo family will be much less. Those creditors won't dare to pressure us anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Seventh Uncle Luo Zhan also came up.

He patted Lu Yun's shoulder forcefully and said in a deep voice, "Little Yun, the clan leader is right. For the others, consider it a chance to broaden their horizons and hone their skills. But you are different; you are the only hope for our Luo family!"

Even Luo Ming, the third uncle who had previously been critical of Lu Yun, came over at this moment.

He looked at Lu Yun with a complicated expression, but finally said in a deep voice, "The future of the family depends on you."

All eyes, filled with anticipation and pressure, were focused on Lu Yun.

Lu Yun didn't say many grand words.

He simply nodded calmly to the clan chief and several uncles.

"Clan leader, esteemed uncles."

"Don't worry."

"Just wait and see."

Earth, China, Yangzhou City.

This place is now a sacred site in the entire Milky Way galaxy, and the Luo family's ancestral home is located here.

In a quiet courtyard, two young men who look remarkably alike are sitting and drinking tea.

One has a calm and composed demeanor, while the other is somewhat unconventional.

These were Luo Feng's two sons, Luo Ping and Luo Hai.

"Brother, it's been over four thousand years." Luo Hai put down his teacup and looked at the distant sky. "There's still no news of Father."

Luo Ping remained calm and nodded. "Father is out in the universe, he has his own things to do. We just need to take care of the home."

"I know," Luo Hai sighed, "but—look, the Cosmic Genius Battle has started again."

His gaze fell upon the golden banner in the sky that seemed to cover almost the entire Earth.

"Yes, it's started again." A hint of reminiscence appeared in Luo Ping's eyes.

Every time they participate in a battle of geniuses, they are reminded of their father's legendary past.

"This year, our Luo family has produced a promising talent." Luo Hai's tone carried a hint of excitement. "That kid Luo Yongzhen recently stepped into the Hengxing level, and he has also comprehended a domain."

"Yes, Luo Yong is really good," Luo Ping agreed. "His 'field of light' is very pure; he's a promising talent."

"Yes, I hope he can go far."

The two remained silent for a while.

Then, Luo Ping stood up.

"Let's go, it's almost time to give those kids a talking-to."

The secret realm of dry witches.

This is a sacred place that countless geniuses throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom dream of.

On an island suspended above a sea of ​​clouds, three figures sat in an elegant pavilion.

The leader was a woman in white, with an exquisitely beautiful face and a pure, aloof demeanor, none other than Ling Xue.

Opposite her stood Xu Yao, a handsome young man with a hint of sinister charm, dressed in a fiery red battle suit.

Beside him stood a young man, Raymond, whose physique was as imposing as an iron tower and whose aura was as domineering as thunder.

The auras of the three of them were all extremely powerful, clearly indicating that they were all at the ninth level of the Domain Realm.

In the sky, the same enormous, boundless golden scroll also floated.

"More than nine thousand years have passed." Xu Yao picked up a cup of wine that emitted a wonderful aroma and swirled it gently. "Finally, we've waited for this moment again."

"Yes, over nine thousand years." Raymond's voice was deep, but his eyes burned with fighting spirit. "This is our last chance. After this battle, we should break through to the cosmic level."

They were all prodigies who rose to prominence after the previous Genius Battle, and in order to wait for this opportunity, they suppressed their cultivation levels for thousands of years.

"Our goal is to be in the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom." A hint of confidence flashed in Xu Yao's eyes. "Only by reaching this ranking can we truly value them."

"Yes." Raymond nodded emphatically.

As she spoke, Xu Yao suddenly sighed.

"What a pity."

He looked into the distance, his gaze filled with reminiscence, "If Lu Yun were still here, I wonder what the world would be like now."

Raymond also fell silent.

Lu Yun.

He was once the most dazzling one among them.

The official news at the time was that Lu Yun encountered an immortal-level expert during his training on Wanhu Star, and was caught in the aftershocks, unfortunately perishing.

This was an accident.

"Yeah," Raymond said in a deep voice, "That guy's talent is better than all of ours. If he were still alive, he might have made it into the top 1,000 in this genius competition."

They all felt sorry for their friend's passing.

Only Ling Xue remained silent throughout.

She just listened quietly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Accident?

No, it wasn't an accident.

Ling Xue's fingers tightened slightly under the table.

She would never forget the last message she received from Lu Yun more than nine thousand years ago.

"Don't leave the dojo, don't leave the secret realm, it's dangerous."

Over the years, Ling Xue has always had a feeling that there is always a pair of eyes watching her.

She didn't tell anyone about these things.

He simply cultivated more diligently and silently.

"Ling Xue?" Xu Yao noticed her silence.

Ling Xue didn't answer, but simply said something indifferently.

"Let's sign up."
