Swallowing the Stars: I'll Destroy the Universe with My Talent Attributes

All Qin Yuan needed to do was solidify his position at the Stellar level for eight years.

Eight years is just a short time. In exchange for a chance to reach the heavens, Lei Li doesn't think Qin Yuan would be unable to see through this scheme.

“Senior Lei, I will join the Virtual Universe Company, but I can’t wait eight years. The path of a martial artist is to overcome all obstacles. If I stop moving forward or even suppress myself just to seek comfort, that’s not what I want.”

Qin Yuan organized his thoughts.

He spoke with great righteousness, but that was not what Qin Yuan was thinking.

He certainly wouldn't let go of the origin of the battle of cosmic geniuses.

However, that's the path of a perfect clone; his original self doesn't need to join in.

His priority now is to maximize his influence in the universe, acquire a large amount of Source Points, upgrade the Perfect Clone attribute, and then snowball his influence.

"I see..."

Lei Li seemed somewhat surprised by Qin Yuan's answer.

But he understood the true meaning behind Qin Yuan's statement that he was "unwilling to wait for the Cosmic Genius Battle".

"Qin Yuan, the Cosmic Genius Battle is a place where you'll encounter countless geniuses, many of whom have talents that even surpass yours. Are you really going to miss this ultimate competition?"

Lei Li thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"Senior Lei, thank you for your kindness, but my mind is made up. Fighting geniuses is far less desirable than wielding a spear against the strong. This is also a path to the heavens."

Qin Yuan's words were full of lofty ambitions.

Chapter 127 Rapid Advancement

"Good, that's ambitious!"

Since Qin Yuan had already said so much, Lei Li wouldn't try to persuade him any further. He changed the subject and said:

"Qin Yuan, since you've decided you don't want to wait eight years to participate in the Cosmic Genius Battle, then I won't say anything more."

"But I'd like to invite you to join the Black Dragon Mountain branch of Virtual Universe Company in advance. What do you think?"

"We can't refuse again, can we? Or are you really planning to go down the path of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance?"

"If you want to complete missions and fight against stronger opponents, my Virtual Universe Company can provide just as well."

Upon hearing Lei Li's words, Qin Yuan had already discerned the other party's true intentions.

Damn it, they're here to kidnap people!

Lei Li could not hide the fact that Qin Yuan had registered as a mercenary in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

Once he breaks through to the cosmic level, he will be qualified to become a formal star mercenary of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Lei Li came to intercept him.

Qin Yuan was both amused and exasperated by this.

Why beat around the bush? Just say it directly.

However, to be fair, Qin Yuan really does have the idea of ​​joining the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

This road also fits his route quite well.

But Qin Yuan had already come into Lei Li's sights, and the other party probably wouldn't let him go to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance so easily. That's why they came directly to recruit him.

I'm impressed by this old man.

He had already rejected Lei Li's suggestion once, and if he rejected it again, Qin Yuan had no doubt that Lei Li would come to him personally.

Besides, don't world lords have any pride?

Forget it, a branch of the Virtual Universe Company will do, since it's hardly related to the Perfect Clone headquarters anyway.

"Senior Lei, I agree to join Virtual Universe Company."

Lei Li's entire explanation boiled down to getting Qin Yuan to join the Virtual Universe Company's branch.

Qin Yuan simply didn't bother with any further discussion and went along with Lei Li's temperament.

"Good! It wasn't for nothing that I boasted to those old guys."

"Since you've agreed to join, Qin Yuan, I'll give you a small task. In order to prepare for the upcoming Cosmic Genius Battle, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has scouted out a group of geniuses in advance and is training them ahead of time to improve their ranking in the Cosmic Genius Battle eight years from now."

"All you have to do is get into the top 100 among these geniuses, no problem, right? Of course, the higher the ranking, the better, and I will also give corresponding rewards based on the ranking."

What else could Qin Yuan say about the mission from Lord Lei Li?

A declarative sentence already indicates that this matter is a fact!

However, the extra rewards align with Qin Yuan's strategy of increasing his influence and acquiring Source Points, so he had no reason to refuse.

Dry!

Earth calendar, January 3, 2058.

A wave of information swept across the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a mid-level civilization in the universe, and even reached the Silver Blue Empire, a subordinate primary civilization, through the virtual universe network.

"In preparation for the grand event a few years from now, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is holding the Imperial Genius Battle in advance within its territory! Geniuses from all human forces within the Empire are welcome to register. Not only are geniuses from within the territory welcome, but human geniuses from outside the Black Dragon Mountain Empire are also welcome."

"If you rank in the top 1000, you will receive a reward from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family..."

Generally speaking, only local forces participate in tournaments held within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's territory, as similar tournaments are held in other regions as well.

They shut themselves in and did their own thing.

However, they would also welcome any talented individuals from other regions who apply.

This message from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a tidal wave among all human stellar-level martial artists.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, as a mid-level civilization universe nation, has more than 1000 lower-level civilization universe nations like the Silver Blue Empire.

It's important to know that the Silver Blue Empire has eight star systems under its control, not to mention the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, whose territory is unimaginably vast.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's recruitment information caused a great stir among ordinary people, but those with connections within the empire knew more.

The competition a few years later refers to the Cosmic Genius Battle held by the Virtual Universe Company eight years later, a major event for humanity involving thousands of advanced civilizations.

It should be noted that the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is only a mid-level civilization in the universe.

Little cabbage!

Virtual Universe Corporation is one of the five oldest giants in humankind.

The Peak Genius Battle it hosts is a grand event open to all nations of the entire human race, and an excellent opportunity for countless geniuses to leap over the dragon gate and ascend to the heavens in one step!

Joining the Virtual Universe Corporation through the Cosmic Genius Battle means endless resources, top-tier secret techniques, powerful mentors, and a bright future!

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's objectives are known to the forces that should know them, and those that shouldn't know them are unlikely to know them.

This is what circles are all about...

Qin Yuan was browsing the official website of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on his auxiliary computer.

Qin Yuan was no stranger to tactics like scavenging geniuses in advance to compete in the Cosmic Genius Battle hosted by the Virtual Universe Company.

He had seen many things on Earth, so he wasn't surprised at all.

However, he had already been pre-selected by the Virtual Universe Company, and participating in the genius battle held in advance by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was just to build up his qualifications and reputation.

Of course, that was just what the Virtual Universe Company required. For Qin Yuan, expanding his influence and acquiring the Source Point was the key.

Qin Yuan had a premonition that, taking advantage of the momentum from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, his green attributes should be upgraded!

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, what good people they are!

"Perhaps we'll run into some old acquaintances in this battle."

Putting everything else aside, Yan Chen will definitely participate.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately connected to the registration portal for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Genius Preliminary Competition via the virtual universe network.

It was an incredibly magnificent virtual space, as if one were in the midst of a cosmic galaxy, with countless stars representing applicants from different cosmic nations and star systems.

A grand, cold voice echoed throughout the space, proclaiming the basic rules of the Imperial Genius Battle:

"The Imperial Genius Battle is open to all human races, including Stellar-level martial artists and mentalists. The competition will take place in a specially designated 'Trial Space' in the Black Dragon Mountain region of the virtual universe, which completely simulates real-world physical data and all abilities."

"The competition is divided into three stages: the Imperial Preliminaries, the Arena Finals, and the final ranking battle."

"The Silver Blue Empire Preliminary Rounds will be held in Trial World 'KNC-88'. All participants will be randomly assigned to different world zones, and the top 101 participants in each world zone will advance to the preliminary rounds!"

"Scoring Rules: Defeating an opponent grants half of their points. Different levels of 'ferocious beasts' exist within the trial world; defeating them also grants points. Preliminary round duration: 10 days."

"Now, begin the teleportation!"

A flash of light, and Qin Yuan's consciousness descended into a brand new body.

The sensation was vastly different from reality, with only the first-tier stellar-level Force intensity, causing Qin Yuan slight discomfort. Fortunately, the effects of the Star Ruins Domain, the Soaring Spear, and even the talent attributes in his sea of ​​consciousness remained perfectly intact.

This wasn't him actively suppressing anyone; rather, all participants in the Imperial Genius Battle within the region were restricted to the same level to ensure fair competition.

In other words, whether it is a ninth-level stellar or a second-level stellar, they will be suppressed to the first-level stellar within the competition area.

After briefly familiarizing himself with the strength of the virtual universe competition zone, Qin Yuan sensed that many geniuses would soon have their Dao hearts broken by his attacks in this battle.

shuh~

As a flash of light appeared before his eyes, Qin Yuan found himself in a vast primeval forest.

Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the air was filled with the dampness and the smell of decaying vegetation. In the distance, the roar of an unknown wild beast could be heard.

His auxiliary computer displayed:

Participant: Qin Yuan (Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Silver Blue Empire Division)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

World Sector: 21

Remaining time: 10 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes

......

"The 21st World Zone... According to the data, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's preliminary rounds were divided into nearly tens of thousands of world zones, while the Silver Blue Empire had 88 world zones. Each world zone had over tens of thousands of star-level participants, and only the top 101 would ultimately be selected..."

Qin Yuan didn't know or care whether the other contestants were under pressure, but he was definitely not under pressure.
