Infinite Fighting

Origin Star.

The Supreme City.

After seventy-three years of changes, this city has become the planetary capital of the entire Origin Star, and is even a very famous place in the surrounding star system.

Those who can secure a place in this place are at least A-level fighters.

He was once considered a saintly king, but now he has fallen to the level of an ordinary person on the street.

Zhang Ji walked along the street, feeling the changes here.

Even without him, the original civilization continued to progress steadily, except for being a little slower, there were no other problems.

Life will find its own way.

Moreover, this place is extraordinary, with many protagonist-like figures present.

Even without Zhang Ji, those "protagonists" would still lead this civilization forward with great strides.

After traveling for a while, Zhang Ji arrived at the tower where the Supreme One resided.

When Zhang Ji lived in this place, it wasn't that high or that magnificent.

Today, this place has become a landmark building.

The tower soars straight into the sky, and outside the tower stands a statue of Zhang Ji, looking up at the heavens with an indescribable air of high spirits.

Given his past achievements, it's quite normal for him to be in high spirits.

Inside the Tower of Supreme Power.

Gu Jie, now fully in his youth form, sat cross-legged in his cultivation hall with his eyes closed.

His consciousness is communicating and exchanging ideas with the source of the universe within his body.

"You have now reached the initial stage of the Observer's realm, but your use of your own spacetime rules is still too rudimentary. Your spacetime rule is [Boundless Wind], but you always limit yourself to using it as a form of energy. You must understand that it is merely a tool for you to pry open the material world. Wind is just a starting point for you to enter this realm, but in reality, it is more than just wind. Disturbed wind can carry countless matter particles; it is airflow, and it is also your means of controlling the material world."

In Gu Jie's palm, the air currents were rotating and, in the process of converging, transformed into other forms of matter. A surge of immense energy was present; if that mass of air currents were thrown out, it would be enough to destroy a star.

He had already reached the K level.

Moreover, unlike relying on time-space artifacts to directly refine and merge other time-space rules, it wrote the time-space rules on its own.

Zhang Ji failed to do even this.

Zhang Ji reached the K-level by using cheats, and later [Limit] paved the way for his breakthrough; he never broke through on his own.

When Gu Jie finished his cultivation, he suddenly noticed that a figure had been standing in front of him for a long time.

The figure felt both familiar and strange to him.

"Master!" Gu Jie exclaimed in surprise.

Just as he was about to step forward and hug Zhang Ji, the source of the universe within him cried out in alarm, issuing a warning.

"The Great Source!! The Great Source!!! Your teacher is the Great Source, the origin of the boundless world's unification, he is devouring the entire world!!!"

Zhang Ji watched Gu Jie's strange behavior but couldn't glean any deeper information from him; something extremely mysterious was hindering his observation.

However, Zhang Ji didn't care. Everyone has secrets.

“You did a great job while I was away,” Zhang Ji said to Gu Jie.

"This is what a disciple should do," Gu Jie said, suppressing his emotions.

He was astonished by the message conveyed by the source of the universe.

Countless worlds and civilizations that have entered the realm of spacetime have vaguely sensed that chaos is shrinking.

At first, they thought it was a natural cycle.

But they later discovered that it was not a natural cycle, but rather a contraction towards a certain source.

That source is devouring the information of the universe.

However, no one knows exactly where the target is.

Originating from the universe, as the core of the previous chaotic era, it gave birth to the source of the universe, which contained infinite possibilities within the chaos.

It told Gu Jie that in order to stop the destruction of Chaos, the Giant Attractor must be destroyed.

Previously, Gu Jie had gladly accepted the mission, as protecting civilization and homeland was something he was meant to do.

But now, he discovers that the giant source of energy is his own master!
He questioned the truth behind the Great Source and questioned his own sense of justice.

"What, are you not happy that I'm back?" Zhang Ji asked Gu Jie.

"No, disciple, I'm just a little excited." Gu Jie concealed his expression and said, "Now that Master has returned, I will immediately convey the message and ask the Holy Kings to come and pay homage."

“No, there’s no need for that.” Zhang Ji stopped Gu Jie and said, “The new Supreme Fighting Tournament is about to begin, and I plan to participate.”

"You want to participate?" Gu Jie asked, dumbfounded.

Although it is unclear how strong Zhang Ji is now, his past achievements already indicate that he was already at the Observer level seventy-three years ago.

Now, seventy-three years have passed, and given the inconsistent timelines across different time periods, Gu Jie still cannot fathom the depth of Zhang Ji's abilities.

With this level of skill, participating in the Supreme Fighting Tournament would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Zhang Ji smiled slightly and said, "It's hard to gain trust and respect by simply announcing a return without any real commitment."

"Then this disciple will arrange it for you immediately," Gu Jie said.

“Let us adopt the title of the new Holy King, [Extreme Dragon],” Zhang Ji said.

He used this title when he fought in underground boxing matches in New Furros, and using it again now is a way of remembering the past.

"Disciple understands," Gu Jie said. "Then disciple will go and make the arrangements now?"

“Go ahead,” Zhang Ji nodded.

Gu Jie lowered his head and hurriedly left.

Zhang Ji watched his hurried departure, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This apprentice's secret seems to be bigger than I imagined.

"Impossible, how could it be a teacher?" Gu Jie said, puzzled.

"Believe it or not, it's him. The entire potential of Chaos is being devoured by him. I should have realized it sooner. His growth trajectory is too strange. To the boundless void, he's a bug!" said the Origin of the Universe. "No matter what you say, I will not be an enemy of my teacher!" Gu Jie said.

He clearly remembered who saved him when he was in trouble, who pulled him out of the abyss, and who made him who he is today.

He couldn't bring himself to be ungrateful.

"Didn't you want to travel back in time to save your parents? Once you've made some more progress, you can try it," said the Origin of the Universe.

"Didn't you say we couldn't do that?" Gu Jie asked.

"Your teacher has probably already clashed with the immortals who maintain the stability of spacetime, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to return successfully. With him there, the risk of altering spacetime isn't so great," the Origin of the Universe said. "Moreover, you can also look at your teacher's growth trajectory; how many disasters his journey has brought, even your parents, and even your suffering, could all be caused by him."

"Stop talking, the teacher wouldn't do that!" Gu Jie said.

“This has nothing to do with whether he wants to or not. He was born to absorb everything to nourish himself, and he devours far more terrifyingly than ordinary creatures. What he is eating is infinite possibilities. To reach the end, he needs infinite life to pave the way to the ultimate. He is the calamity itself,” said the Source of the Universe.

"Shut up!"

Gu Jie shut down the information from the Source of the Universe and stopped communicating with him. He composed himself and prepared to help Zhang Ji with the Supreme Fighting Tournament.

Origin of civilization.

Supreme Star.

This is a man-made supergiant planet.

The entire body is made of Origin Metal.

This is a special alloy, with a mass so high that it can withstand the forces of gravity.

Inside the planet, technologies from many other worlds were integrated, further strengthening this super-giant planet.

The reason for the existence of such a super-giant planet is solely to accommodate the holding of the Supreme Fighting Tournament.

The principle of respecting the strong is the core cultural message of the earliest civilizations.

The weak are only qualified to survive within the rules, while the strong can break the rules to gain more.

This fighting match will be broadcast live to countless people throughout the Origin Civilization, and even other civilizations can watch the broadcast through the Origin Civilization's network.

In the fighting arena, more than 130 holy kings from various worlds have taken their places.

Zhang Ji has also arrived.

This supergiant planet has an incredibly strong gravitational pull; if it weren't for special technology maintaining its internal and external balance, it would have collapsed and formed a black hole long ago.

Zhang Ji observed the other Holy Kings; some looked familiar, but he didn't recognize most of them.

His gaze lingered for a short time mainly on his original four old friends.

The growth rate of those four was also extraordinary. Zhang Ji discovered that they had also stepped into the realm of observers.

This fighting match suddenly started to get interesting.

Beyond the Supreme Star, tens of thousands of image planets hover, responsible for broadcasting the fighting events on this planet.

They are very far apart, at least tens of billions of kilometers away.

Simply because if you get too close, you'll be instantly destroyed by the aftershocks of those controllers who have the power to destroy planets with every move they make.

In the fighting arena on the Supreme Star.

Giles's gaze kept sweeping over Gu Jie.

To be precise, he was looking at the newly appointed Holy King, [Extreme Dragon].

It was a burly humanoid race, over three meters tall, seemingly an SSS-class controller from the newly emerged G-33 alien universe.

His perception wasn't particularly strong, but his animalistic instincts were at their peak.

In his perception, the [Extreme Dragon] felt somewhat familiar.

"I don't think so," Giles thought to himself.

If it's that guy.
He also wanted to know if the other person had made any progress over the years.

Suddenly, Gu Jie stepped forward and said, "Holy Kings of the Origin Civilization, the Supreme Fighting Tournament is about to begin. As in previous years, this tournament has no rules. When the tournament begins, the last one standing will be qualified to ascend to the supreme position of the civilization!"

“Lord Gu Jie, if you win again this time, I think you won’t need to serve as the acting Supreme anymore. You might as well just ascend to the Supreme position directly,” said a Saint King.

“Yes, Lord Gu Jie, we have never seen the former Supreme Zhang Ji, but even if he were to return, he would surely be happy to step down and yield his position to a disciple as outstanding as you!” said another Holy King.

"You must not disrespect my master. If you have the strength, you may become the supreme beings. But if you cannot defeat me, then my master will be the eternal supreme being!" Gu Jie rebuked solemnly.

He had actually thought about the supreme position before.

This has nothing to do with anything else; it's just human nature.

But he later suppressed his desire for power and chose to wait for Zhang Ji to return.

Now that Zhang Jizhen has returned, he has no more wavering.

Only one's own teacher is qualified for this position.

Upon hearing Gu Jie's words, some of the other Holy Kings felt that Gu Jie valued loyalty and righteousness, while others thought that Gu Jie was pretentious, and still others planned to defeat Gu Jie and become the Supreme One themselves.

A variety of emotions, too numerous to mention.

This is different from Zhang Ji's past, when he was above everyone and forcibly suppressed everyone.

Gu Jie is indeed powerful, but his power is something these Holy Kings can only look up to and feel they can catch up with.

Rather than the difference between the sun and a firefly, as Zhang Ji described.

Therefore, with Gu Jie now serving as the acting Supreme, the Holy Kings within the civilization have many plans of their own.

Of course, now that Gu Jie has reached the K-level, there should be much less noise after this battle.

However, now that Zhang Ji is back, Gu Jie is no longer needed.

Zhang Ji can suppress all this noise!
"Boom!"

Far away from the Supreme Star, a star was detonated by Taiyi-Zero. The dazzling light of the supernova explosion served as the starting signal for the Supreme Fighting Tournament.

"The 7th Supreme Fighting Tournament begins!!!" (End of Chapter)
