Chapter 481: Geniuses Gather
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The human virtual cosmic was bustling.
The official start of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament and the 10-day countdown attracted the attention of the entire human cosmic.
This time, the event was jointly organized by two supreme factions, which was extremely rare. In particular, the last time the Primordial Star held a genius selection that all cosmic humans could participate in was nearly a hundred eras ago.
The relaxed registration conditions and the confrontation between the old and the new made the competition even more intense.
“The feast is finally here! I’m looking forward to it!”
“I heard that the ten eternal nations are really serious this time. Many of those who didn’t participate in the genius selection have signed up.”
“It’s because of the Primordial Star. Among the seven supreme human factions, the Primordial Star is the most mysterious and the most difficult to enter. It existed before the cosmic appeared, and it has the most ancient books and information in the cosmic. Who wouldn’t be tempted?”
“Right, in comparison, the human virtual cosmic and the Infinite World of Slaughter hold a genius selection every era, so the ten eternal nations don’t really care about them. Unlike the Primordial Star, whose genius selection only happens once every hundred eras. There are fewer people and more resources, and the inheritance opportunities are incomparably rich!”
“What does their fate have to do with us? As long as there’s an exciting match, that’s enough. I love to see those high and mighty fairies fight each other. It’s best if they break their inner armor and battle pants!”
“It’s here! Everyone, hurry to the main virtual world. The Supernova Prodigy Tournament has announced the complete list of participants. All ten eternal nations have participants. Hurry up and take a look!”
7.17 million participants!
6,240,000 participants from the 780,000 starfields of the ten eternal nations, 840,000 participants from the 168,000 starfields of the starfield empires, and 90,000 participants from the 30,000 starfields of the cosmic nation starfields.
All the names had been announced. The list included some famous super geniuses.
“Qiguan Xian’ai of the Weixin Eternal Nation! My dream lover must get first place!”
“First place my ass! The other talents from the ten great eternal nations are much stronger than her. Nansheng Eternal Nation’s Mu Anyun, Beimo Eternal Nation’s Feng Ying, Eternal Dream Nation’s Yutu Wan, Asheli Eternal Nation’s Bi Bolan, which one of them isn’t a famous cosmic-level genius?”
“Haha, let’s take a gamble. There will definitely be many names that I’ve never heard of in this year’s competition. These famous geniuses might not even be able to enter the top ten, let alone the top three!”
In the Dongheng Eternal Nation.
“Father.” Dongheng Wanyi stood in the palace, wearing a dragon robe.
“How is your recovery?” Dongheng Emperor’s tiger eyes gleamed brightly. His imposing aura reached into the sky. Even an Undying Lifeform would not dare to look at him directly.
“It’s alright.” Dongheng Wanyi smiled.
“Is it worth it to take the initiative to reincarnate and participate in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament?” Dongheng Emperor looked at his son.
“Of course. I want to become a Supreme Lifeform,” Dongheng Wanyi said nonchalantly.
“Very good, ambitious,” Dongheng Emperor said.
“If I can’t become a Supreme Lifeform, it’ll be much easier for me to become a Sovereign Venerate in the Primordial Star than in the eternal nation anyway,” Dongheng Wanyi said with a smile.
Dongheng Emperor said, “Experts must have a firm will and press forward. There are no such things as ‘what ifs’.”
Dongheng Wanyi held the back of his head with both hands and chuckled. “In this world, there are not so many things that can go the way we want it to, Father. It’s always good to plan for the unexpected.”
Dongheng Emperor was helpless against this willful son of his.
He went to undergo reincarnation the minute he decided on it, ignoring the risks and throwing away his cultivation of thousands of eras, cultivating all over again just to enter Primordial Star.
“Go and get first place.” Dongheng Emperor waved his hand.
“What if I don’t get it?” Dongheng Wanyi blinked.
Bang!
A formless force blasted Dongheng Wanyi out of the hall, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Father really can’t take a joke.” Dongheng Wanyi stood up and tidied his clothes.
Raising his head, Dongheng Wanyi looked up at the starry sky.” Getting first place to enter the Primordial Star. Hmm, not bad. But what if…”
The Yunzhou Eternal Nation.
Celestial Cloud Mosque was built on a natural treasured land that stood above the Eternal Nation and protected it for generations.
“Teacher.” Xian Yuyan was dressed in white and had long black hair. Her neck was like a graceful swan’s and her skin was as fair as snow. She stood gracefully on the clouds like a fairy that did not belong to the mortal world.
“Your sword heart is still flawed.” A voice echoed in the air, seemingly having come from an endless distant world. The Sovereign Venerate’s path of spacetime had already reached the realm of perfection.
I’m not talented, so my sword heart is not perfect yet.” Xian Yuyan’s voice was soft and melodious.
“Go spar with the geniuses of the cosmic. I believe that with your comprehension ability, you will definitely find the flaws in your sword heart and achieve perfection.” The voice echoed in spacetime.
“Yes, Teacher.” Xian Yuyan’s beautiful face was as calm as an ancient well.
Xuanxu Eternal Nation.
In the starry sky, a handsome young man was sparring with an alluring young lady.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Top-rank stage 3 internal worlds collided while supreme-grade supreme treasures attacked and defended.
The young man with a handsome face held a battle axe in his hand. The unity-phase axe intent was monstrous, and his origin power was vast and shocking.
The beautiful young girl crossed her ability user weapons and unleashed her self-created Cosmic Energy Spell, bombarding her opponent crazily.
Space shattered and time shackled.
Suddenly, a golden figure appeared in the dimensional turbulence, followed by two Eternal-level slaves.
“Qing Xuan, Qing Yu, prepare for the competition,” The golden figure said kindly.
“Yes, Father!” The two stopped fighting and looked at each other. They raised their heads high, neither willing to submit to the other.
Starcluster Empire.
Among the more than 80,000 starfield empires, it was the one with the strongest overall strength and was known as the 11th eternal nation.
Death Battlefield.
The isolated battlefield was filled with blood and corpses, making it suffocating.
A woman shrouded in darkness, holding a sword in her left hand and a saber in her right, was fighting crazily.
Her cold eyes were emotionless, like a killing machine.
The three Undying Lifeforms opposite her roared in anger as they used their origin power and Cosmic Energy Spell.
The power of the indestructible artifacts burst forth one after another, but they could not stop the woman who was like a god of death.
Her terrifying power shattered everything.
On the battlefield, the nobles of the empire discussed with each other and looked satisfied.
“Not bad, she killed thirteen Undying Lifeforms in a row.”
Heh, she’s a killing machine that we’ve carefully nurtured. This time, she’s going to the Supernova Prodigy Tournament and will shock the ten eternal nations.”
“What’s her name?”
“Wen Rou.”
Elio Empire.
The royal family and nobles were anxious.
“Haven’t you found him yet?”
“The Supernova Prodigy Tournament is about to start!”
“Piao Baibai is so troublesome! He just had to go into complete seclusion for a few decades, forcing us to postpone the breakout competition, and now, he’s disappeared after the competition. It’s been a few years, and there’s no news of him at all!”
“Found him, found him! Piao Baibai is in the Myriad Races Brothel. He has already been there for 108 days!”
“Hurry up and get him out! The competition is about to begin!”
Sir, he says he can’t leave.”
“Pull him out!”
Sir, he has no money.”

Honghe Planet, Wangting Villa.
In the cultivation room, Wang Ye finished his cultivation.
Super Star level 5 warrior, 1%. Super Star level 4 ability user, 83%.
“It’s a pity my clone hasn’t been able to comprehend Time Stop yet.” Wang Ye felt a little regretful.
If he could comprehend Time Stop, it would be of great help to him in increasing his strength.
After all, it was a top-rank path of time.
He had saved 103.4 billion potential points to increase his Time Stop attainment. Combined with the top-grade time supreme treasure he had just obtained, he could unleash an extremely powerful effect with Static World.
“But passing the first round, the Cosmic Stairway Tournament, shouldn’t be a problem.” Wang Ye was confident about this.
With his current strength, if he could not even pass the first round, then just as Xi Yan had said… It would really be embarrassing.
“I wonder what the specific rules are.” Wang Ye looked at the Taishi Star Network where everyone was voicing their speculations.
More speculations were on how far he, All Pu, and Wu Yunduo could go.
“They’re quite friendly to me.” Wang Ye smiled.
For Ah Pu and Wu Yunduo, there was only one conclusion – pure cannon fodder. No matter what, they couldn’t pass the first round.
In contrast, some people still had some unrealistic fantasies about him.
“I think Wang Ye has a 10% chance of passing the first round. It’ll depend on whether the Cosmic Stairway Tournament is suitable for him.”
“Stop joking. There is a high probability that 90% of the participants will be eliminated in the first round! That means only 717,000 participants will be able to enter the second round. The ten great eternal nations have 780,000 participants who were guaranteed entry alone. Do you really think Wang Ye is better than them?”
“Wang Ye is improving. Didn’t we hear that he defeated an Undying Lifeform in
Pradi Galaxy? He must have improved since the Top 10 Round-Robin Tournament. I think there’s a little hope.”
“Impossible! Let’s use the data to talk. In the past Genius Challenges, the probability of cosmic nation talents eliminated in the first round was 99.9%. Out of 90,000 contestants, at most 90 would make it in, but there are over 30,000 cosmic nation starfields! The competition is too intense.”
Wang Ye didn’t argue because it wouldn’t be long before they were shocked.
No matter how much he said, it would not work better than speaking with strength.
The current him did not have the strength to compete for the championship or even enter the top 100, but he could fight against the ordinary geniuses of the ten eternal nations.
His goal was clear: Either the Primordial Star or the Infinite World of Slaughter. Both were fine. He was not picky.
As someone from an ordinary cosmic nation starfield who had no resources, background, or backing, the Supernova Prodigy Tournament would be the best stage for him to rise!
He would use all his strength to fight to the end.
“I’m in great condition!” Wang Ye entered the human virtual cosmic.
The first round of the Cosmic Stairway Tournament would begin in the main virtual world.
He entered the exclusive passage. A strange and motley scene morphed before him, and time and space intersected.
Wang Ye seemed to have returned to the time when no one was optimistic about him in the breakout competition, but he still rose step by step and shocked Taishi Starfield.
This time, he would similarly shock the entire human cosmic.
Humans from the ordinary cosmic nation starfields could still be very strong!
Wang Ye looked at the countdown timer in front of him and waited.
His heart was surging, but he was very calm. There was no pressure, only endless fighting spirit.
Whoosh!
Brilliant light.
Wang Ye passed through the door of light.
The Cosmic Stairway Tournament had officially begun!
