Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Origin Continent, the first Peak Genius Battle, the top ten competition begins! The subsequent battles will select the top five, and the first and second place will be chosen from the top five."

In the live broadcast broadcast to everyone in the Void God Realm, the Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled as he looked down at the ten Law Lords below.

The first Genius Battle is of vital importance to the future development of the Qin State.

Therefore, the final round of the competition will be personally presided over by him, a powerful god-king.

This is actually a helpless situation.

Because the strong among the human race have not yet grown up, even Luo Feng has not yet broken through to the Chaos Realm, let alone others.

It would be inappropriate for an eternal God to preside over such an occasion.

Although more than a dozen Chaos Realm cultivators have joined us during this period, it would be better to send the Mountain Guest directly, rather than sending them. At least it would demonstrate the Qin Kingdom's emphasis on the Genius Battle.

It's just a battle between a group of Law Masters, presided over by a God-King level expert!

The ten Law Masters below were all incredibly excited, their eyes burning with fervor. This was a God-King level expert!

"Xiang Qiuyun, Bing Hong, Zhong Kang, Fang Yang, Ji Ming. Your battle groups will be determined by the order of your previous victories: the fastest and the slowest will face off, the second fastest and the second slowest will face off, and so on!"

Bing Hong versus Fang Yang!

Ji Ming versus Xiang Qiuyun!

... "

"Now, the battle begins!"

As the host announced the rules, a giant arena rose up in the arena.

Instantly, countless eyes were drawn to the arena, and two figures were teleported there as well.

One of the two figures was ethereal, surrounded by invisible spatial fluctuations, while the other was covered in scales and had an extremely robust and powerful divine body.

"Wow! It's 'Bing Hong' versus 'Fang Yang'. Fang Yang will definitely win."

In reality, he possesses a divine body 90,000 times stronger than others, and has mastered several eternal true mystical techniques. He even has a slight understanding of the fundamental laws of the world.

"Bullshit! Bing Hong will definitely win!"

What's a divine body with a power of 90,000 times?

Which of the top ten doesn't have a divine body with a power of 90,000 times?

Fang Yang grasped a trace of the fundamental laws of the world, so didn't Bing Hong grasp a trace of the laws of space?

"It's terrifying. With their powerful divine bodies, they could easily step into the realm of Void True God or even Eternal True God in an instant if they wanted to."

"..."

Countless cultivators observing this scene in the virtual space began to comment and support their chosen side.

The number of participants in the Peak Genius Battle was too large. Even though the vast majority of participants were screened out through methods such as global regional selection and arena battles, the remaining geniuses' competition still lasted for three thousand days.

A day on the continent of origin is extremely long.

During these three thousand days of competition, many people have come to know the best performers, and there are even many ardent fans.

The ongoing battles have drawn the attention of countless people, and a large number of them have flocked to the Qin Kingdom and entered the Realm of the Gods.

After this competition, the number of cultivators entering the Realm of the Void Gods increased by more than 30% compared to the past.

And without a doubt, these people were all cultivators from outside the Qin state.

The Realm of the Gods made a fortune by watching matches and gambling.

"The Lord of the Laws of the Origin Continent is ridiculously powerful; he has even begun to try to comprehend the fundamental laws."

In a virtual space, the Lord of Chaos City watched the two sides fighting and sighed.

Among them, the Law Master known as Bing Hong wielded a long sword, and thousands of clones materialized around him, all unleashing a secret technique of the Eternal level to slash down with his sword.

This attack, if it were in the primordial universe, could easily kill a large number of true gods.

Even the Void God would find it difficult to withstand.

According to the classification of the secret techniques of the original universe, any one of these could be considered a thirteenth-order secret technique.

Opposite him, Bing Hong stood motionless, wielding a battle axe, and with a single strike, he shattered hundreds of clones, his defense impenetrable.

Such an achievement would even make the Lord of Chaos City feel somewhat ashamed.

He didn't have that kind of strength back then.

"Indeed, the younger generation is truly formidable. The Origin Continent is so vast; geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river," Luo Feng exclaimed in admiration.

"Compared to you, there is still a gap. I have only touched a trace of the fundamental laws."

Back then, you were able to fight world beasts at the level of a universe master.

Qin Mu watched with a smile as the two men fought below.

The geniuses who emerged from the battle among trillions of Law Masters are naturally extraordinary, each possessing limitless potential.

While figures like the Lord of Chaos City and Darkness are geniuses, they are still somewhat inferior to top-tier geniuses like these.

Of course, he is still inferior to Luo Feng.

Their achievements as Lords of Laws do not guarantee their future success, nor can it be said that they will necessarily become Lords of Chaos. It can only be said that they are indeed exceptional in their comprehension and talent.

But opportunities and luck are equally important for making a breakthrough.

Just like the group of geniuses they were during the Primal Universe Genius Battle, almost every one of them could become immortal based on their talent alone.

In reality, over 90% of them perish during trials and adventures.

The same applies to these geniuses.

After recruiting these geniuses, they will also be tasked with missions, training, and strengthening the Qin state's grassroots, and may even follow the insectoid swarm to explore new Origin Worlds in the future.

"Huh?" Luo Feng was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed, and then he smiled. "I'm about to break through. I've finally comprehended the Chaos Law."

"Breakthrough? Congratulations!"

Congratulations.

In the virtual space, the Primordial Ancestor, Giant Axe, Empress, and others who were also watching the battle offered their congratulations one by one.

The Chaos Realm is a major hurdle.

Once you overcome that hurdle, you'll be considered a high-ranking member of the Origin Continent.

……

Qin Mu and his group were watching the final battle of the Peak Genius Battle, and everyone else was also paying attention.

A group of god-kings from the forces of the River of Life also gathered together, with a wisp of their consciousness entering to observe the battle.

"This method of selecting geniuses seems to be much more efficient than ours. We only recruit a batch of elite eternal gods every thousand centuries."

But Brother Qin's genius battle can be held in every era.

Those selected will absolutely be the most outstanding geniuses.

The God-King Zongfu looked thoughtfully at the two Lords of Laws locked in battle.

The forces of the Mother River of Life have branches in many places on the Origin Continent. Each branch recruits once every thousand epochs and then brings these elite Eternal True Gods into the world of the Mother River of Life for training.

In his eyes, even if a few Law Masters were geniuses, they were really nothing special.

But if each era can yield a large harvest, then things will be completely different.

After all, every era can give birth to countless masters of laws.

For any major power, having a sufficient reserve of talent is very important.

Moreover, these Law Masters entered the Qin Kingdom from their weakest point, and their loyalty is unmatched by those elite eternal true gods who have experienced countless years.

"It's just too troublesome. Unless we create something similar to the Void God Realm, there's no way to filter across such a large area."

Creating a virtual world that covers an entire state isn't difficult, but one that spans such a large area and accommodates so many cultivators is quite challenging.

Yu Fu Shen Wang is also known as Zan Dao.

They were all powerful beings who had lived for countless years. They had been to treasure lands like the Infinite Space and were no strangers to the Realm of the Void Gods.

A powerful being like the God-King Zongfu can create a similar causal illusion world with a single thought.

Even he couldn't maintain this for so long and have so many practitioners enter.

"I'm starting to believe that Brother Qin Mu really does have a special treasure. Maybe his ability to command so many insect swarms is related to this treasure."

Or perhaps, the race in which Brother Qin was reincarnated was a special race similar to the Gem?

"I don't know, but this battle of top geniuses has caused quite a stir in the Origin Continent. The two ancient kingdoms must have their eyes on Brother Qin."

I just don't know what they'll do.

"They probably won't take direct action. After all, they're just recruiting weaklings who are the masters of laws. How could those high and mighty emperors possibly look down on them?"

Even a regular Chaos Realm cultivator wouldn't be considered a threat by a God King.

Their real targets are those at the second level of the God-King realm, or those who have obtained some special treasures.

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the God-King Zongfu.

"These Lords of Laws certainly wouldn't look down on them, but it's hard to say about Brother Qin."

……

The ancient kingdom of Yanfeng, its capital city.

"The Origin Continent's Peak Genius Battle? What arrogance! A mere remote, second-rate country hosting a competition for Law Masters has caused such a stir."

An emperor exuding a powerful aura looked into the distance with some displeasure.

"Di Yuan, why don't you just take action? You're the kind of guy who can be killed with one slap."

Another powerful Emperor-level expert laughed.

He didn't care about this so-called battle of the top geniuses at all. The Yanfeng Empire only cultivated the royal family line. What did it matter if the others were geniuses?

They can only become guest advisors, risking their lives for the little resources they are given.

They don't care about the Lord of Laws, or even the Chaos Realm or weaker God-Kings.

The thirteen emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom all possess the ultimate combat power of a God-King.

Although many of them achieved this through bloodlines, special treasures, or other means, their combat power was at the ultimate level of the God King realm.

As for Qin Mu being a reincarnated god-king?

so what!

No matter how strong we are, can we be stronger than them?

Is he stronger than the progenitor of the Flame Wind?

They were used to plundering, used to being superior, seizing precious resources and robbing top-tier treasures.

There are countless god-kings who have been hunted down and reincarnated.

Even a powerful being like Zongfu, a peak second-level God King, was still hunted down like a stray dog.

Throughout the entire Origin Continent, there are very few things that they can take seriously.

Qin Mu, however, was clearly not among them.

"This Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts is quite capable. I tried to use causal tracking to investigate his past, but I found nothing."

No, it's not fair to say we gained nothing.

The causal threads were extremely faint and impossible to trace, yet they seemed to be everywhere, covering the entire Origin Continent. I simply couldn't find his true form.

One of the emperors, who was skilled in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, hesitated somewhat.

"Vague and indistinct? Spread throughout the entire Origin Continent? That's quite strange. Even you can't find its true form. It seems that it's most likely a reincarnation of a second-level God King."

Moreover, only those possessing special treasures related to cause and effect could possibly accomplish this.

"Then let's investigate and find out his background. This kind of old thing is troublesome. If we're going to take action, it would be best to eliminate him completely in one go."

Otherwise, if it escapes, it will be very troublesome.

I don't want to end up like King Zongfu, where even the progenitor had to intervene, and we were all punished.

"Hmm, then let's investigate secretly. A mere Chaos Ruler can evade the Emperor's detection; he must possess extraordinary treasures. We might just be able to make a fortune."

"Isn't the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect planning to establish a kingdom? They're jumping around so excitedly. It won't be long before they slip up."

The emperors exchanged thoughts continuously.

Can he withstand the undefeated rule of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom?

Before them, the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom was nothing more than a cook, capable of preparing some delicious food for them, nothing more.

After all, there are very few god-kings in the Origin Continent who are skilled in food.

They weren't in a hurry to attack Qin Mu.

After all, they still care about their reputation when there's no benefit to be gained.

The truly valuable treasures of the Origin Continent are all located within the Treasure Land, which is controlled by two ancient kingdoms.

Without sufficient benefit, they would not attack someone who is suspected to be at the second level of the God King realm without any certainty of victory.

……

"The first peak genius battle on the Origin Continent has officially ended!"

According to the rules, the top five will directly join the Heaven-level Secret Realm, the top twenty will join the Earth-level Secret Realm, the top one thousand will join the Profound-level Secret Realm, and the top ten thousand will join the Yellow-level Secret Realm.

The four great secret realms of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow all belong to the core of my Qin Kingdom.

But at their core, they are also different.

The resources and benefits they can enjoy are also completely different!

As for the specific benefits, you will find out later. This is definitely the biggest opportunity for you.

I just want to tell you that the locations of the four core secret realms of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow are not fixed and will rotate every once in a while!

Temporary achievements do not represent everything!

With the voice of the Mountain Dweller, the grand battle of geniuses on the Origin Continent came to a close.

With Qin Mu's strength, establishing four special secret realms was naturally a piece of cake.

With control of 53 Chaos Provinces and a swarm of insects scattered across the Origin Continent to collect resources, nurturing a group of geniuses to an extremely high standard is a piece of cake.

Even if they all became Eternal True Gods or Chaos Rulers, let alone the Lords of Laws, the resources they needed would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean for the Zerg Swarm.

In fact, what Qin Mu found most gratifying about this battle of geniuses was not the 10000 geniuses themselves.

Instead, it was through this battle of geniuses that the entire Qin state was revitalized.

Each Chaos Continent has trillions of participants!

Let alone the top ten thousand, even the top million are considered top geniuses.

The vast majority of these geniuses were absorbed into the 53 Chaos States.

With the end of the Genius Battle, most of these geniuses began to break through, becoming either Void True Gods or Eternal True Gods. In a very short time, they filled the empty Qin Kingdom and stabilized it.

This gave the Qin state the true appearance of a nation.

Furthermore, a large number of cultivators who traveled from afar to enter the Qin Kingdom were attracted by the Qin Kingdom and chose to settle there.

Having witnessed the scale of the Genius Battle and the Qin Kingdom's grand gesture, many Eternal True Gods chose to arrive early, awaiting the future Battle of the Strongest!

This undoubtedly boosted the national strength of the Qin state once again.

After the Genius Battle ended, Qin Mu also stepped forward and accepted a disciple.

That is, the winner of this genius battle, a Law Master named Fang Yang.

Before this, Qin Mu had only taken on one disciple, Jian Shuize, and that disciple followed the bloodline route.

Now, they've finally found a true genius.

However, Qin Mu only put in a little effort and occasionally gave some pointers.

He spends most of his time practicing spiritual cultivation.

Time flew by, and four eras passed. After four battles of geniuses, the day arrived for Qin Mu, the God-King Zongfu, and the others to explore the treasure land as agreed. (End of Chapter)
