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

Chapter 59 Eliza Disdains District Seven [Fifth Update]

After registering, you will have one month to prepare.

Geniuses throughout the universe are making the most of this last bit of time for a final sprint.

Ancient Wheel Secret Realm.

This is the core gathering place of geniuses in the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom.

Inside a magnificent palace suspended above a sea of ​​clouds, several powerful young men sat casually.

They were among the most outstanding geniuses in the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm.

Each person has already truly crossed the threshold in a certain rule.

Just then, a soft laugh came from the palace gate.

A woman with a bewitching face and wearing a gorgeous purple dress walked in.

Beside her was a handsome young man, but with a slightly reserved expression.

"Eliza".

Inside the hall, a young man with short blond hair greeted them with a smile.

His gaze swept across the room, landing on the handsome young man beside Eliza, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Is this the new guy next to you?"

Another tall young man was also looking at it with great interest.

"Seventh level of the Domain, your talent is only average." He shook his head, his tone carrying an undisguised contempt. "Eliza, your judgment seems to have deteriorated."

The handsome young man, the pretty boy next to Eliza, blushed instantly, a flash of humiliation and anger in his eyes.

However, he didn't even have the courage to refute these top geniuses who had crossed the threshold of the laws.

Eliza, however, didn't care at all.

She simply covered her mouth and chuckled softly, as if they were talking about something insignificant.

"Just playing around."

She casually sat down in the main seat, chatting and laughing with the top geniuses, completely ignoring her male companion whose face turned pale and then red.

"Speaking of which," the blond youth suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "that kid named Luo Yun from a few years ago was quite interesting. He had a tough backbone."

Upon hearing the name "Luo Yun," a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashed in Eliza's eyes.

She picked up a glass of wine, swirled it gently, and a hint of mockery played on her lips.

"hard?"

"It's just stupidity."

"His birth into a small family in a remote galaxy gave him the opportunity to rise to the top, but he couldn't seize it."

Another person chimed in with a laugh, "Yes, how ungrateful! Being able to follow you, Eliza, is a blessing many people would kill for."

Eliza chuckled softly and downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

"Those kinds of people, even if they have some talent, are destined not to go far."

"Being expelled from the secret realm and returned to his small star system means the end of his life."

Just then.

An immense and boundless pressure descended without warning.

Whether it was Eliza or those top geniuses who had already crossed the threshold of the laws, at this moment, even breathing became difficult.

All the geniuses in the hall changed their expressions and instantly stood up, standing respectfully.

The newcomer was dressed in a simple gray robe, with an ordinary face, looking like a typical old man.

But just by standing there, he became the center of the entire world.

His eyes were as deep as the cosmos, as if they could see through all illusions.

"Greetings, Lord Musaro!"

All the geniuses, led by the blond youth, bowed respectfully.

Musaro is one of the several immortal-level powerhouses who control the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm.

Musaro nodded slightly.

Registration is about to close.

"You are all the hope of our Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom."

"This time, the king has given an order."

"Of the top 1,000 in our Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, 500 must come from our Ancient Wheel Secret Realm."

half!

The king's demands are incredibly high!

Musaro's gaze fell on Eliza, then glanced at the pale-faced male companion beside her. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he said nothing more.

He continued, "Luo Yun chose to leave the secret realm on his own."

"His temperament is unstable, and he is not fit for important tasks. Leaving him is a good thing for both him and the secret realm."

After saying this, Musaro offered no further explanation.

But deep down, he knew very well what was going on.

It was indeed he who removed Luo Yun from the list.

The reason is simple: Eliza's father.

One who was granted the title of Marquis and became immortal.

He couldn't refuse to give them that face.

This is something that can't be said publicly, of course.

After all, the king values ​​the cultivation of geniuses in the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm and will never allow anyone to interfere with the operation of the secret realm for personal reasons.

But it doesn't matter anyway.

Musaro was calm.

In his view, this was nothing more than a trivial matter.

That little guy named Luo Yun does have some talent.

However, even in the ancient secret realm where geniuses gather, he can only be considered ordinary.

Most importantly, he did not cross the threshold of the rules.

A genius who hasn't crossed the threshold of the rules has ultimately limited potential.

There are many such geniuses in the secret realm.

One less or one more doesn't matter at all.

If that Luo Yun has truly crossed the threshold of the laws—

Then he wouldn't dare to do that.

Unfortunately, Luo Yun is not.

Therefore, he was removed from the list, and that was that.

An ordinary genius who hasn't even touched the threshold of the laws can't cause any trouble.

The start of the Cosmic Genius Battle has captivated the hearts of countless people.

It's not just the talented participants, but also the families and influence behind them.

In the shadows of the universe, countless eyes are also fixed intently on that enormous golden scroll.

These are major intelligence organizations spread across the entire human race.

The light was dim in an incredibly spacious hall.

Only the enormous virtual screens in front of them were flashing massive amounts of data, emitting a faint glow.

Hundreds of staff members in uniform were sitting at their seats, focused and typing furiously.

At the very front of the hall, a figure stood quietly with his back to the crowd.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"Keep a close eye on them."

"Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom".

"It was divided into two hundred competition zones."

"The number of talented people who have registered in each competition area is in the billions."

His voice paused.

"Our goal is to be in the top 10,000 in each region."

"Each of these names represents a future domain lord, or even a world lord."

The black-robed man's voice carried an unquestionable tone.

"This is a valuable piece of intelligence."

"Do you understand?"

"knew!"

Registration closed, and the information of each participant was entered.

Virtual Universe Company quickly made arrangements for all the participants from the Ancient Wheel Universe Country.

Inside the training ground of the Luo family's ancestral home.

"Brother, which district were you assigned to?" Luo Qing asked curiously.

Xia Yan also looked over, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Lu Yun smiled and said casually, "Seventh District."

"Sector Seven —"

Luo Qing and Xia Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of relief mixed with a touch of disappointment in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, they were not assigned to the same competition area as Lu Yun.

"Xia Yan and I both live in District 136," Luo Qing said, sticking out her tongue. "We live quite close to each other."

Xia Yan smiled wryly, "The two of us will probably be eliminated soon. We'll cheer you on from the sidelines then!"

"Yes, yes," Luo Qing nodded repeatedly, "Brother, you must persevere and break out of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom!"

Lu Yun shook his head with amusement upon hearing this.

"The preliminary rounds will not be broadcast."

"Besides, the Seventh District is so big, with tens of billions of participants. Even if you wanted to watch, you couldn't possibly watch them all."

Lu Yun looked at the two of them and said seriously, "So, don't think about cheering me on. You two should do your best."

"We'll try to play as many matches as possible in our respective regions, and go as far as we can."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qing and Xia Yan both became serious.

"Okay! We understand, bro!"

"We'll do our best, Brother Lu Yun!"

The day of the competition arrived quickly.

In the virtual universe.

The dimensional plaza, specially opened for this battle of geniuses, was packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.

More than one trillion star-level geniuses gathered here from every corner of the human realm, and the clamor and discussions were enough to turn the sky upside down.

Every single person seems incredibly insignificant.

Lu Yun was checking the equipment he was carrying.

He was wearing a standard Tier 2 Force suit, which offered average defense but was agile enough.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In his spatial ring, there were also some spare weapons and recovery potions.

Most importantly, it's his telekinetic weapon.

The "arc blade disc" composed of twelve curved blades lay quietly in the corner of the spatial ring.

Lu Yun made a mental note and confirmed that everything was ready.

Just then.

A vast sound resounded throughout the entire dimensional space.

"Ten seconds remain until the start of the Cosmic Genius Battle qualifiers."

"10!"
