Chapter 521: Opportunity!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the second selection world, Wang Ye shuttled through the space-time tunnel as layers of light appeared before his eyes.
[Opportunity.]
[Those who have the opportunity will transcend reincarnation.]
[Those with great opportunities stand at the peak of the higher dimensions.]
[Those with supreme opportunities will become the strongest supremes.]
[The Primordial Star values opportunities the most. Those without opportunities are not fated to enter the Primordial Star.]
[Of course, one’s cultivation aptitude, talent bloodline, combat prowess, and willpower are all innate opportunities. If one can grasp them, it will naturally lead to a path to heaven.]
[However, acquired opportunities can also defy the heavens and change one’s fate, achieving extraordinary achievements.]
Wang Ye was a little stunned.
The seven supreme factions were each weirder than the last.
The Infinite World of Slaughter advocated “survival first”. If one cannot deal with something, just be cowardly and stay safe.
The Primordial Star was even more direct, simply attributing everything to opportunities.
One’s abilities were innate opportunities while everything else from the outside world were acquired opportunities.
They had the last say then…
It felt somewhat unreasonable, but he could not think of a reason to refute it.
So, what exactly is the second selection world for?” Wang Ye was confused.
Question marks appeared in his mind. White light flashed before his eyes and in an instant, he had passed through the time tunnel.
The surrounding environment changed.
He was now in the starry cosmic.
Thump!
Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat. He looked around to see if there was any suspicious white light.
He did not know if he had any opportunities, but he was quite sure he wasn’t the luckiest from his experience in the first selection world.
Yet this time, his unluckiness had clearly left him.
There were no other contestants!
There were only two ancient celestial bodies that were emitting light and massive life force in the endless distance.
The Primeval Star and Ancient Star!
The location of the second selection world is actually the human virtual cosmic’s Primordial Star?” Wang Ye was shocked.
Then, he shook his head.
That was not right.
This was the Primordial Star, but it wasn’t the one of the human virtual cosmic.
The distance was further, the celestial body was larger, and the sense of the Great Path was clearer. It was as if he had entered the real Primordial Star.
After once again confirming that there was no one around, Wang Ye opened the world panel.
It was still divided into three major areas, but it was different from the first selection world.
On the left was the ranking of the second selection world.
[1]?: 50 million points.
[2]?: 4.9 million points.
[3]?: 48 million points.
[too]?: 20 million points.
[1000]?: 10 million points.
Wang Ye carefully studied the rules.
It had completely changed!
They had to obtain points in the first selection world, but in the second selection world, points were rewarded through one’s ranking.
The ranking would be determined by the number of primordial beads obtained.
The primordial bead is the Primordial Star’s currency.” Wang Ye read the rules carefully. “Every Primordial Star produces primordial beads, though the time taken varies. Some produce one every hundred eras, while others produce one every ten thousand eras. It contains endless life energy and is a top-notch life treasure.”
Wang Ye was slightly stunned when he read this.
Although this was the first time hearing about the primordial bead, it felt inexplicably familiar.
The shape and characteristics of the primordial bead naturally appeared in his mind, as if he had come into contact with it countless times.
Even the Primordial Star felt strangely familiar.
Wang Ye turned his head to the left. That seemed to be where the Primal Star Cave was.
Turning to the right, the Ancient Star Abyss’s full appearance appeared in his mind.
The Primordial Star… It felt just like home.
Although time had passed and his memories were vague, the impression was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
Wang Ye sighed and continued reading the rules.
The method to obtain the primordial beads was very simple.
Any method?” Wang Ye smiled bitterly.
Was there a need to be so hasty?
However, his intuition told him that the primordial bead was not easy to obtain because every single one of them was very precious.
There were roughly three ways to obtain it.
One, obtain from exploration. Through this, I can find primordial beads naturally produced by the Primordial Stars, as well as those stored in various places of opportunity.”
Two, obtain through exchange. Treasures obtained in the Primordial Star, including but not limited to the various treasures, rare materials, ancestors’ relics, and the most basic points can all be used to exchange from primordial beads.”
Three, obtain through rewards. This includes becoming a disciple of a High Dimension Lord or a Sovereign Venerate, defeating a disciple of the Primordial Star, obtaining a great opportunity, creating a cultivation technique, transforming oneself, and so on. The details are to be explored by oneself.
Three methods were listed in the rules, but there was clearly a fourth, fifth, and even sixth method.
As long as one had the ability.
Isn’t this an open world?” Wang Ye thought to himself.
He looked at the three ways to obtain the primordial beads again.
Each of them seemed simple, but in reality, none of them were easy.
Take the first method of obtaining primordial beads for example, which was through exploration. The Primordial Star produced primordial beads in epochs, but he only had ten cosmic years. Although there were hundreds of millions of celestial bodies in the Primordial Star area, it was impossible to visit all of them in such a short time.
As for the primordial beads in the lands of opportunity, it probably wouldn’t be so easy to get them. A life-and-death situation could occur at any moment.
The second method was the most feasible.
The Primordial Star was filled with treasures. Perhaps he could exchange for it?
Wang Ye looked at the most “basic” point exchange and fell silent.
too million points for i primordial bead?
Good God. If he had 100 million points, wouldn’t he be first on the leaderboard already?
Wait, the contestants in the second selection world were ranked by their number of primordial beads.
Supreme treasures, gem treasures…” Wang Ye smiled bitterly.
Could this be referring to the innate supreme treasures that were even stronger than the cosmic supreme treasures?
Even Eternal Lifeforms rarely possessed Great Path Gem Treasures, right?
If they were so easy to find, the Primordial Star’s disciples would have long taken them all.
The third method was the most ridiculous. Become a disciple of a High Dimension Master or Sovereign Venerate?
Were they hearing themselves? Was that human language?!
Those were supreme figures of a higher level than Eternal Lifeforms!
Would they casually take in disciples?
Attempting to defeat the Primordial Star’s disciples was even more of a trap. Those were legitimate direct descendants of the Primordial Star. Even the Super Star-level disciples were big shots, and if they unluckily encountered a Black Hole-level Primordial Star disciple, that would be asking for trouble.
Only a fool would challenge them…
Wen Rou appeared in Wang Ye’s mind, and he fell silent.
He didn’t know about the others but the talent fledglings would most certainly choose that method.
There were also methods like obtaining great opportunities and creating cultivation techniques. None of them were proper methods. Those were plain opportunities from head to toe…
Hmm?
Wang Ye was stunned.
In an instant, he understood the purpose of the second selection world.
What the Primordial Star wanted was talents with great opportunities!
In the second selection world, all the rewards are genuine. Other than the primordial beads, the other treasures will belong to the contestants after the competition.” Wang Ye sighed.
What was magnanimity?
This was the confidence of the seven supreme factions!
The Primordial Star was indeed worthy of being the faction with the most opportunities in the human cosmic.
He had to join it.
Let’s aim for the top too.” Wang Ye wasn’t greedy.
The most important thing was to be able to enter the Primordial Star. As for the ranking, it didn’t matter.
Compared to the first selection world, he was not confident in the second selection world.
This was because the rules set by the Primordial Star gave him the feeling that “luck is supreme”, which made him feel very pressured.
He didn’t know if he had opportunities, but his luck was often not good.
I can’t control my luck. Let’s see what I can do first.” Wang Ye looked at the big map in the middle.
It was pitch-black. Fortunately, the two Primordial Stars, one blue and one red, could be located.
He was currently in the center of the Primordial Star area, so he reckoned that the other competitors were the same.
It was just that the starfield was vast. Even in a starfield the size of a palm, 60000 competitors would be like cosmic dust in it. It wasn’t easy to bump into each other.
One primordial bead can open up one ten-thousandth of the map?” Wang Ye chuckled.
He had seen black-hearted rules before, but he had never seen such them to such an extent.
That being said, he didn’t need to expand his map because the surrounding starfield felt inexplicably familiar.
Let’s take a look around first. Perhaps some big shot would take a fancy to him.

In the human virtual cosmic, the crowd who followed the contestants into the second selection world was also shocked.
The rules of the competition were completely beyond their expectations!
The Primordial Star knows how to play. 60000 participants trying to grasp opportunities everywhere. It’s so interesting!”
It’s not opportunities. It’s a targeted selection by the Primordial Star. It’s equivalent to directly picking the best seedlings from 60000 contestants. It depends on who has the best luck, no, the best opportunities.”
Looking at the rules, it seems that there will be experts from the Primordial Star participating. I heard that there will also be High Dimension Lords and Sovereign Venerates. Is it true?”
Haha, I want to see if any of the participants will be taken in as disciples by the Sovereign Venerates. That would be too awesome. He’ll directly reach the heavens in one step!”
That doesn’t seem likely. Searching for treasures is still the most straightforward. As long as one can successfully become compatible with them, one can even take them away. The Primordial Star is so f*cking rich!”
Everyone’s words revealed envy.
This was the legendary Primordial Star with the most opportunities!
Wang Ye flew through the Primordial Starfield.
This wasn’t the real map of the Primordial Star. It had been shrunk a lost, but that was normal.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to travel from one planet to another.
However, the sizes of the planets did not change.
I have to find my own mission, and I’m clueless now.” Wang Ye familiarized himself with the surrounding starfield and gradually adapted to it.
Although the map was not opened, many “landmarks” appeared in his mind.
Spectre Island, Great Wish Astral Realm, Universal Palace, Curl Cliff, Lychee Garden Palace, etc.
They appeared one by one.
The first thing he had to do now was to find a living person!
Well, it would be best if it was an NPC with an exclamation mark above his head.
The closest one to me is the Great Wish Astral Realm. It seems to be over here…” Wang Ye circled around for a while before finally recognizing the way.
Although he didn’t know what the Great Wish Astral Realm was, his intuition told him that there should be people there.
Or rather, there were opportunities there.
With a definite destination, Wang Ye hurried on his way.
Suddenly, the ranking on the world panel was updated.
[1] Starcluster Empire, Wen Rou: I primordial bead.
…
So fast?
What did Wen Rou do? She couldn’t have really defeated a Primordial Star disciple, right?
There were no other changes.
As Wang Ye traveled, he paid attention to the changes in the leaderboard.
Although the rankings were useless now, he could still determine useful information from the time and number of primordial beads obtained by the 60000 participants.
These could help him grasp the rules of the second selection world faster.
Of course, finding people was also one of the key points.
Verysoon-
Great Wish Astral Realm.” Wang Ye slowed down, his eyes bright.
Looking into the distance, countless stars formed a world that looked like a hexagram.
The Primordial Star was exactly the same as he remembered!
