I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

If they cannot control their power, the harm they will cause will be enormous, at least to the universe they control. No super strong person wants their chosen successor to be unable to control their power; it only means that the successor has power but cannot use it perfectly.

Of course, although the battle mode here is one-on-one, because there are too many geniuses participating, there will definitely be many battles to participate in. In other words, they will need to participate in several battles in a short period of time. This will result in many strong individuals not having enough time to recover.

The energy they expend in battle must be used for the next battle, which reflects the strength of their energy reserves. All the rules are very reasonable and take into account various factors, including the assessment standards. Therefore, none of the geniuses have any complaints and can only follow the rules.

As for the rankings and corresponding opponents of these geniuses, they were all determined by the rules of the universe. So, in a short time, he received a detailed battle list. Although Luo Yuan didn't know how the battle list was arranged, he didn't have that thought anymore because he needed to start his first battle right now.

Luo Yuan discovered that the platform here was very vast, but once a corresponding opponent was chosen, a barrier would immediately appear from the void to cover the battle between the two. This barrier would only disappear after a single victor emerged in the final battle. Therefore, any strong person had to go all out, because if the battle did not result in a winner, they would be kept here indefinitely.

The result was that countless barrier spaces appeared on the entire platform, which looked very beautiful. However, for the creator gods who were watching the battle, they only needed to observe all the geniuses fighting in an instant. Therefore, no genius's battle could escape the control of these super strong beings.

Luo Yuan didn't have so many thoughts. What he needed to do now was to defeat the unfamiliar genius who appeared in front of him. However, the genius in front of Luo Yuan looked similar to him, but Luo Yuan's information showed that this was a human powerhouse from another universe.

Luo Yuan didn't know if this was due to luck or a deliberate arrangement by the rules of the universe, but whatever the situation, Luo Yuan now had to thoroughly investigate the strength of the powerful figure before him and to what extent he had reached, even though Luo Yuan possessed extremely strong resources.

However, he also knew that these geniuses who were able to stand out from other universes were ahead of everyone else, so the foundation they had built was also very strong. Luo Yuan could not underestimate these inheritors from any universe, because they were basically at the same level as him, and the gap between them was not that obvious.

However, based on previous information, there are still some differences in strength between different universes. Even in the previous battles of geniuses, Luo Yuan's universe only achieved a middle ranking. This means that there are more advanced and powerful universes above it, and the geniuses who appear in these universes have already achieved great strength, talent, and potential.

Not to mention that the most outstanding inheritors selected from these geniuses must have improved their abilities to the limit in all aspects. Moreover, the geniuses who are fighting Luo Yuan now are only at the world-level Hunyuan level. So how powerful are those geniuses whose strength has reached the level of Hunyuan Lord?

Because the inheritors selected to participate in the battle of geniuses this time have all cultivated for no more than the prescribed time limit, they are all at the same level to some extent. However, due to the long time span, there are still some differences in their strength caused by the length of their cultivation.

The problem is that although everyone is now divided into two battlefields due to their different levels of cultivation, in order to select the most outstanding successor, these two normal strong individuals must fight each other to determine the final winner.

However, due to the difference in their cultivation levels, there will definitely be obvious differences in their strength. This would be a huge disadvantage for those with weaker cultivation levels, unless they possess strength far exceeding their current cultivation level and are able to defeat a Hunyuan Lord-level expert while being at the level of a world-class Hunyuan expert.

If one could achieve this anywhere, they would be considered the most outstanding being, even surpassing geniuses at the level of Hunyuan Lords. However, to some extent, it is still unfair. But the problem is that nothing is completely fair.

After all, those powerful individuals were able to raise their strength and realm to the level of Hunyuan Lord within the time limit set by the rules, which in itself required other sacrifices to achieve. This also shows that they possessed very good talent and luck. Otherwise, they would not have been able to become Hunyuan Lords in such a short time. Otherwise, why couldn't the geniuses who participated in this battle raise their realm to the level of Hunyuan Lords before the Genius Battle?

So in a way it's fair. Whether you can win in the end will depend on a combination of factors. You can't just look at the talent and potential of both sides. Soon Luo Yuan and the genius in front of him started fighting. Then you quickly discovered that the ability the other party used was very similar to your own.

This means that Luo Yuan and this genius practiced similar martial arts systems in their respective universes. However, this is also good, as it saves a lot of trouble during the battle. After all, everyone will have a corresponding understanding of each other's abilities, so they can quickly understand each other's methods and respond accordingly.

However, all the secret techniques Luo Yuan used were created by himself, so his abilities were generally much stronger than those of other geniuses. The various secret techniques cultivated by the genius on the other side, although they looked powerful, were always a little lacking when used and did not reach a perfect level.

The only possibility is that none of the techniques used by this genius were created by him, but rather he acquired such abilities after fully learning the legacy left behind by a powerful figure. However, Luo Yuan is different, because all the techniques he uses are perfectly suited to himself, so they are very powerful and there are no problems in their use.

Moreover, Luo Yuan was able to unleash the greatest power with minimal consumption when using his methods, so the difference between the two during the battle was very obvious. This was even clearer to the spectating creator gods, which made many creator gods notice Luo Yuan's existence.

It's not surprising to gain great strength after learning the legacy of other powerful individuals, but it's about being able to draw upon others' legacy to create something that best suits one's own comprehension and creativity.

Chapter 766 Innovation

The various powerful secret techniques that Luo Yuan displayed have greatly surprised all the spectators present. This is because all the powerful individuals sitting here have a basic understanding of the cultivation systems and methods of the entire universe. As for which powerful individual possesses which technique, they can easily find out by simply looking into it.

However, they discovered that the methods Luo Yuan used were basically unprecedented. Although they resembled those used by some powerful individuals, they were fundamentally different. This could only mean that Luo Yuan had likely borrowed the legacy of those powerful individuals, then refined it through his own understanding, and created a new secret technique.

Those who can reach this level of strength must thoroughly comprehend and master the legacy of a powerful figure in a very short time before they can achieve faster and more effective development. Such strong individuals are extremely rare because it requires incredibly strong comprehension and control.

Not to mention those young geniuses and powerhouses, the requirements for them to reach this level are even higher, and there are extremely strict limitations on the talents they possess. After all, the higher the level of the inheritance, the more time it takes to fully access and learn it, let alone to perfectly master it and innovate upon it.

At least so far, there are very few geniuses on all platforms of this battle who can reach this level, and Luo Yuan happens to be one of them. However, this is not enough for Luo Yuan to gain the attention of most of the creator gods, because these creator gods have very high standards and a lot of knowledge.

Therefore, it is clear that Luo Yuan's ability to create is different from that of other geniuses. Although other geniuses can innovate and invent new moves, these methods often cannot form a system and are only manifested in a certain way.

However, Luo Yuan is different. All the techniques Luo Yuan uses are a whole and very methodical. They seem to be closely connected to each other, and they are not techniques that are randomly learned or created. It can be said that Luo Yuan has created a completely new cultivation system, which is very different from the martial arts system he originally cultivated.

This is because Luo Yuan never felt that he could be limited by a single cultivation system. Therefore, in the process of creating various secret techniques, he would constantly draw on various cultivation systems of the universe and integrate their advantages into his own system. Only in this way could he truly create a combat mode that was both suitable for him and extremely powerful in adapting to the environment.

It can be said that the environment in the universe is very complex, and different cultivation systems require different cultivation environments to achieve better results. However, if the environment is not suitable for you when fighting with other powerful beings, you will be at a disadvantage, which is very dangerous.

No strong person wants their abilities to be thwarted, or to be attacked by other strong people who cannot defeat or eliminate them. In a battle, not only do the strength of the two sides need to be determined, but also the environment in which they are located. However, if they rely too much on the advantages of the environment, they will lose many opportunities to win.

If one only achieves a certain level of innovation in some aspects and masters some new methods, then one can only deal with some special situations. Only by creating a completely new cultivation system like Luo Yuan and perfecting it to the point of perfection can one deal with all kinds of environments.

Moreover, Luo Yuan's creative methods have a huge advantage: he can integrate the various cultivation systems and combat modes of other powerful individuals at any time. This benefits Luo Yuan so that he will not lose his current development. He can always improve his strength and various secret techniques, so Luo Yuan will only become stronger and stronger, and will not be affected by the current environment.

Moreover, the stronger and more versatile the opponent who fights Luo Yuan, the more advantages Luo Yuan will gain. Although Luo Yuan may be at a disadvantage at the beginning, he will definitely win as long as he can, because he will become stronger and stronger in the process of fighting.

Moreover, Luo Yuan was able to master all of his opponent's methods within a short period of time and incorporate them into his own cultivation system. This gave him a greater advantage and allowed him to defeat his opponent in the shortest possible time. In addition, Luo Yuan possessed a very rich energy reserve, far exceeding that of other experts of the same level.

That's why Luo Yuan performed so well in this battle of geniuses, immediately attracting the attention of all the powerful figures. Excellent geniuses cannot be buried. At least in the eyes of these super-powerful figures, those geniuses possessed enough strength and talent to be judged in an instant.

Moreover, these super strong individuals select geniuses in a rather different way. While ordinary strong individuals value the current strength of these geniuses, this strength is generally something that can be caught up with in a short period of time.

Therefore, if these super geniuses demonstrate powerful abilities that far surpass those of other geniuses in their environment, especially those abilities that require talent to execute, they can gain the attention of more powerful individuals.

Luo Yuan was like a beacon, illuminating his location. No matter how powerful an individual was, including the incredibly strong creator gods, or even the universe controllers observing everything from the void, they would all notice Luo Yuan's presence in an instant.

However, Luo Yuan no longer cares about how these powerful figures will view him or how they will arrange his future. He only has one thought: to gain more inspiration from the battle with this inheritor from another universe and to learn all the techniques the other uses, integrating them into his own cultivation system.

This way, he can become stronger. While the other geniuses are fighting here, they also need to consider how to defeat their opponents and obtain a higher ranking so that they will have the opportunity to become the sole inheritor of that universe controller. But Luo Yuan now takes such thoughts very lightly.

He felt that this battle of geniuses was a great opportunity for him to grow. In the past, Luo Yuan and those geniuses fought in the same universe, so although their cultivation systems were different, they were generally similar.

Because the universe has the same rules, different cultivation systems are just different ways of using this power. So there is no difference at the source. When Luo Yuan was learning and mastering, he also noticed that the help these different cultivation systems gave him had actually reached a limit.

Therefore, if Luo Yuan wants to become stronger, he needs to integrate cultivation methods from other universes to make his created secret techniques more powerful and perfect. Luo Yuan never felt that his created secret techniques were perfect.

Because creating a completely new cultivation system often requires a lot of data support and refinement. It is extremely difficult to create one entirely on one's own. Any secret technique that is to be created will definitely require countless powerful individuals to go through a long period of time.

Only through continuous experimentation and refinement can one achieve the highest efficiency. If Luo Yuan were to create something entirely from scratch, the time consumed would be unimaginable, which would be extremely detrimental to his cultivation. Therefore, Luo Yuan never wanted to create a repair method that had never existed before.

He prefers to learn from the inheritances of other powerful individuals and continuously improve upon them to create more cultivation systems for himself. This is the smartest and most effective way. Of course, the secret techniques that Luo Yuan has created so far have one characteristic: their source is completely different from that of other powerful individuals. This is what ensures that Luo Yuan's cultivation secret techniques exist independently.

Because without one's own essential essence, relying solely on fusing different secret techniques together will result in a technique without any distinctive features, unable to compete with the secret techniques created by other powerful individuals. This is because Luo Yuan is fully capable of achieving such a breakthrough.

Therefore, he stands out among all the geniuses. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to gain the attention of those super strong people among so many geniuses. In fact, whether one can ultimately gain the favor of that universe controller depends not only on oneself, but also on having enough strength.

Furthermore, they need to perform exceptionally well in battle, especially demonstrating advantages that other strong individuals lack, in order to stand out. This is because the cosmic controller has never said that he selects his successors based on strength, nor has he ever said that he would choose the only genius who can achieve victory as his successor.

The so-called battles between geniuses are actually more of a performance, allowing them to display the various strengths and methods they have cultivated over the years. This is how the creators and controllers of the universe can truly evaluate their strength in all aspects and choose the most outstanding successor.

The battles between these geniuses on the vast platform were incredibly exciting. After all, they knew that powerful figures were watching them during the battles, so they had to showcase their best abilities to gain better resources and status.

Even if they ultimately fail to become the inheritors chosen by the rulers of the universe, they can still gain greater prestige through this battle. If they have the opportunity to become creator gods, that would be excellent, since the time they serve as creator gods is limited, and becoming a creator god does not guarantee their safety.

Whether it's the rules of the universe or the requirements of these super-strong individuals themselves, they all have one thing in common: they don't want these strong individuals to be satisfied with their current situation. If any strong individual cannot improve their strength and still occupies an important position, it is very dangerous for the entire universe.

Therefore, no matter where you are, you will establish a selection system that eliminates the weak and promotes the strong. Under such a system, these strong people will take the initiative to cultivate and continuously make themselves stronger. It is because of such rules that for those creator gods...

If they cannot raise their strength to the limit of their current realm after a million reincarnations, they will lose their current status. Then their successors can perfectly inherit their status as creator gods. Otherwise, if so many creator gods occupy important positions without being promoted and do not want to pass on their positions, but still possess a large amount of cultivation resources...

This is very detrimental to both the geniuses and powerful cultivators and the normal operation of the universe, because the status of the creator god cannot be maintained after it is obtained, as they also need to demonstrate that they are qualified to have such a status.

Although these creator gods will never be able to break through their current realm if they cannot ultimately improve, if they can raise their strength to a level comparable to the controllers of the universe, then they can play a very good protective role for the entire universe no matter where they are placed in the future.

In fact, there are many more universes beyond the current universe, and each of these universes has its own universe controller. However, these universes are not without conflict; they fight each other for resources and the number of stronger beings. It is impossible for a single universe controller to protect the entire universe.

This is impossible, because the universe controllers are no longer subject to the strict requirements of the universe rules, so they can continuously cultivate and gain higher strength. Under such circumstances, these universe controllers would certainly want to spend more time on their own cultivation.

However, in that case, they would not have time to manage the security of the entire universe. That is why they need the Creator God to do such a thing, or more precisely, those super strong beings who have lost their status as Creator Gods but still possess the strength of a peak Creator God.

Although these powerful beings have lost their status, their strength remains. Therefore, sending them to defend key locations throughout the universe is a very good idea. At least it can ensure the safety of the entire universe, allowing the universe's ruler to save more time and energy for cultivation.

Moreover, as long as there are enough creator gods, their safety can be better guaranteed. Therefore, the universe controller only hopes that more powerful beings will be born in the universe, especially super powerful beings who have reached the level of creator gods.

Therefore, the universe operates according to a complete set of rules, not a simple pattern. No powerful being can enjoy the benefits they currently possess forever without paying any price; that's impossible because such a good thing simply doesn't exist in this world.

Even the rulers of the universe bear a great responsibility. Therefore, Luo Yuan also needs to deal with attacks from other universes of equal strength. If they hadn't been at the forefront resisting, the entire universe would not have been able to maintain such a long period of peace.

Chapter 767 The Road Ahead

In fact, the geniuses fighting here all performed exceptionally well, because they understood that many important figures were observing their battles. If they performed well, they would definitely gain more benefits. Regardless of whether they could achieve final victory and become the successors of the universe's rulers, they would ultimately reap considerable rewards.

After all, he was chosen by the creator god from his own universe to become the successor, which in itself required exceptional talent and potential. However, they also understood that in the eyes of those powerful beings at higher levels, their requirements for their successors would only be more stringent.

Therefore, only the strongest individuals can ultimately know the selection criteria. After all, for many strong individuals, whether a genius can meet their requirements is determined through a comprehensive assessment. This requires them to make themselves stand out as much as possible during the process. If they need to hide their strength here, they will not gain any benefits in the end.

Since everyone is on the same level, there is a sufficient need for them to exert all their abilities in order to gain the greatest benefit for themselves. After all, these inheritors of the creator gods basically do not have any troublesome matters that require their personal attention, because they spend most of their time on cultivation and can mobilize a large amount of resources and inheritance.

Such a cultivation environment is already far superior to that of many powerful individuals. However, if they ultimately fail to demonstrate their strength and gain the attention of the creators and controllers of the universe, then what is the point of their long cultivation? Now is the best time to showcase their cultivation achievements, so every genius is constantly displaying various powerful techniques.

However, whether their abilities are outstanding or not, those super strong individuals can quickly draw a correct conclusion. After all, these super strong individuals have also grown and developed through this kind of training, so they can certainly tell at a glance whether a genius's talent and potential are outstanding.

However, so far, Luo Yuan is the only one who has stood out the most. This is not to say that the other geniuses are not good enough, but that when compared with them, Luo Yuan stands out from the crowd and is exceptionally outstanding. It is like the difference between green leaves and flowers. Without comparison, it is difficult to make an accurate and clear judgment about something.

However, Luo Yuan no longer has so many complicated thoughts, but he knows that this competition is of great significance to his future. If he can gain the favor of that mysterious universe controller, his future growth path will be smoother. However, Luo Yuan never puts his future on the shoulders of others, but always believes that only by relying on himself can he go further.

Even if he doesn't gain the favor of any powerful figures and inherit their legacy, as long as Luo Yuan is good enough, he can create it entirely on his own. After all, no powerful figure could have reached their current level solely through the inheritance of others.

Because when the universe was created, there were no traditions or cultivation methods. It was only through the continuous accumulation and summarization of each generation that a complete cultivation system was evolved. So how did those people in the beginning cultivate to such a powerful level? In the end, they could only rely on their own continuous exploration and creation to grow continuously.

Although this method is very troublesome and time-consuming, and one will encounter many setbacks during the growth process, it is not that difficult for the strong who possess eternal and immortal life. As long as they have enough patience, they will always be able to reach the corresponding level through continuous accumulation.

Of course, it would be even better if one could receive guidance from a strong person, thus saving a lot of trouble. After all, no strong person would not want their growth to be slower than others. Some opportunities are extremely rare, especially for those powerful individuals who want to climb to become even stronger, they will definitely have corresponding requirements.

For example, once a certain level is reached, it is no longer possible to improve through diligent cultivation alone, because it involves the rules and requirements of the entire universe. For instance, after reaching the standards specified by the rules of the universe, one must also obtain the corresponding status and authority in order to gain more benefits.

Therefore, no matter how strong one's talent and potential are, or how extraordinary one's creative ability is, one cannot escape the constraints of the universe's rules. It is for this reason that those super strong individuals constantly fight and compete, because without competing, they cannot improve.

It can be said that no matter where you are, it all boils down to competition. Whether it's scarce resources or various treasures, they are all in the hands of a few strong people. Basically, everyone wants to possess these treasures, but in the end, only a very small number of people can actually obtain them.

Of course, sometimes it's not because resources are scarce. In many cases, it's because those who possess resources want to have even more. It's this mindset that leads them to concentrate a large amount of resources on themselves, which results in the extreme scarcity of resources.

However, not all of these powerful individuals can actually use these resources. Many of them simply collect them. So, strength is still the ultimate deciding factor. Those with great strength can do whatever they want, and no one would dare to oppose them.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the desired effect and ensure the long-term implementation of one's own interests, it is necessary to establish very strict systems and standards. Only when the system is sufficiently well-established can it operate in an orderly manner even without one's own attention, thus providing a continuous stream of resources.

Therefore, the initial process of accumulating resources is the most troublesome and dangerous. If you can do it well, you can create a better cultivation environment for yourself in the future. This battle of geniuses is still going on, but no one knows how long they will have to fight to meet the requirements of those strong people. However, the simplest way to judge is when the final winner is decided.

The problem is that everyone's strength is about the same, so whether they can persevere in the end depends on their energy reserves and their mental will, and whether they can achieve final victory. Of course, it also depends on the various methods these inheritors have cultivated and their actual combat power.

Some of the inheritors came from universes that weren't very powerful, so they were quickly defeated when they participated in these battles, thus losing their last chance. However, most of the inheritors have managed to hold on until now, though they no longer have the same high spirits they had before.

After all, in battles where there are no clear standards or hope, it's difficult for them to know how much more they need to give, or what methods and talents they need to demonstrate to achieve the goals they set beforehand. So, towards the end, they often feel powerless. Most of the geniuses, on the other hand, want to defeat their opponents through other means in order to achieve a higher ranking for themselves.

If both sides are evenly matched, then they can only remain in a stalemate. After all, the rules of the battle from the beginning clearly state that there is no possibility of death. So, to achieve victory, one can only force the opponent to admit defeat or beat them until they have no ability to resist.

Because no genius is willing to fail here so easily. After all, they came here to fight on behalf of their own universe, and their successor is now observing them. If they fail so easily, it would be a great loss of face, and they might even be stripped of their original status as successors of the creator god.

If that's really the case, then all their previous efforts would have been in vain, and they would also be looked down upon by other powerful individuals. They have already enjoyed the cultivation resources and high status that only inheritors can have, so it's impossible for them to give up like this.

Even if they cannot achieve final victory and become the sole inheritors of the universe's control, they must still perform exceptionally well in battle. Otherwise, all the time they have spent cultivating will be wasted, and the other creator gods will think that those who valued them were blind.
