The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 222 The Battle of Geniuses Ends, Important Notes
"very good."

"First, second, third."

"Fourth to tenth."

"The eleventh to the hundredth."

"One hundred and one to one thousand."

"All four levels have been selected. This year's selection of the universe's top human geniuses has come to a perfect end."

The Nine Swords Venerable nodded with satisfaction, yet with a hint of nostalgia, or perhaps regret.

She looked at Qin Hao with such a complicated expression, which left Qin Hao completely baffled.

You haven't said a single word to me, so why are you suddenly giving me that look?
"Someone will contact you shortly to take you to the global headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company, where you will assemble before heading to the 'Initial Universe'."

"From now on, your path will no longer be ordinary."

The Nine Swords Venerable regained his composure and transformed back into the Venerable who had previously been indifferent to everyone else.

"My Virtual Universe Company will fully assist you. As for whether you become a super existence that will be famous throughout the universe?"

They will either become ordinary strongmen or perish along the way.

It all depends on yourselves. Work hard, your path to becoming strong has only just begun!

After the Nine Swords Venerable finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Hao one last time, and then his figure disappeared.

This really puzzled Qin Hao. Nine Swords Venerable, what's going on with you?

Please explain clearly.

If there's anything you don't like, I...

The 1008 immortals also disappeared without a trace, without even giving the geniuses a single word.

However, Qin Hao and the other thousand young people remained there because a staff member called out, "Please don't leave yet. There are some things we need to discuss with you regarding taking you to the headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company."

The Virtual Universe Company's headquarters was a place Qin Hao's future self had visited before, so it was not unfamiliar to him.

A man named Mana walked over and said to everyone, "Next, Virtual Universe Company will send a spaceship to pick you all up and take you to Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters, so please fill in your detailed addresses."

We will send a spaceship to pick you up.

Qin Hao and the others simply filled in: "Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Xuelan Star, Tiangong Pavilion Headquarters".

Someone muttered, "Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? Just give us the address, and we can go and meet up ourselves."

"Yeah, there's no need to answer, it's too much trouble."

Qin Hao, who had been to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters, smiled. Luo Feng was still a little puzzled: "Yeah, Master, why didn't you let us go there ourselves?"

Qin Hao laughed and said, "The distance is too far. Even an F-class spaceship would need several years to fly there. Our Qianwu Universe Kingdom is located in the hinterland, and the distance from headquarters is very far. It would take about three years to fly there."

"Hiss, that can't be right. You know, entering the dark universe is equivalent to flying at 1008.1 million times the speed."

Moreover, the dark universe can exceed the speed of light!

If this requires three years of flying, then...

Luo Feng could hardly believe it; was the universe really that vast?
Mana glanced at Qin Hao, quite surprised, seemingly somewhat taken aback as to why this person knew all this.

However, he didn't say much, but instead said directly: "Everyone, the headquarters is some closer and some farther away from you. The farthest one is about 15 billion light-years away."

The distance between the dark universe and the original universe is 1:10,081,000. Even traveling at the speed of light, it would take approximately 150 years to reach the dark universe.

Luo Feng gasped, realizing that they were in a period of rapid growth.

Each year transforms them, making them stronger.

He was improving every single second.

It is currently in the early stages of nurturing the jade essence. It is said that there will be further infusion of the jade essence into the marrow, at which time the growth will be even more rapid.

Luo Feng felt that he had barely managed to win third place.

If it weren't for the fact that I feel I've become much stronger recently...

He didn't even dare to say whether he could ultimately defeat Qian Shui.

This woman is truly remarkable.

She is the only woman to make it into the top five, and also the only one in control.

Their strength is truly formidable.

Qin Hao said softly, "Going to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company may also be dangerous."

In some regions, space pirates may very well exist.

Even the plundering of other ethnic groups.

Just now, during our final battle, the Celestial Crafts Pavilion on Xuelan Star was attacked by a Zerg mother hive that had reached the King level.

"Huh?" Luo Feng and the others were all taken aback and felt a wave of fear.

They're all here.

If a person's physical body dies in reality, can their consciousness still exist?
"Don't be afraid, relax."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Since you're still here and nothing has happened."

That means the danger has passed.

Since we didn't hold back in the battle of geniuses, it was impossible for us not to attract the attention of the alien races.

Luo Feng understood; no wonder he had seemed to sense a threat earlier.

However, he was still in the middle of a battle at the time and thought the pressure was from his opponent, but he didn't expect it to come from reality.

But so far, I haven't felt any threat, so I guess everything should be fine, right?
The Zerg hive—just thinking about it is terrifying.

Or will he be crowned an immortal king?

"There are so many ranks of Immortals?" Luo Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, newly promoted immortals are generally called immortal military lords."

The one in the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land who founded the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is the Immortal Military Lord.

The other two founders of Sanfushan were also in this stage.

Those who have accumulated profound knowledge or have further improved their strength after entering the Immortal realm, reaching a certain level of power, will be promoted to the rank of Marquis Immortal.

This level is also the realm of your master, Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star.

Above that, there is the title of King of Immortality.

The process of being crowned a king is also divided into five stages.

They are respectively: Initial King, Advanced King, Peak King, Limit King, and Invincible King.

Each grade differs greatly.

At this point, Qin Hao paused, looked around at the people looking at him, and explained to them the strength levels of the higher-ups.

"However, these are all too far removed from our lives."

I'm about to go to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company to cultivate. If I can break through to the universe level in thirty years, that will be very good.

Of course, while we're in no rush to break through, Virtual Universe Company must have something planned for us.

Okay, I'm logging off now.

"You guys come here, I have something to say to you."

As Qin Hao spoke, many people had already come over.

Furthermore, Qin Hao received numerous telepathic messages and emails in the virtual universe.

It was nothing more than some friendly words, probably because he saw that the people he was guiding had made considerable progress.

So I had some ideas.

It's just a matter of grabbing whatever's available, even if there's no grass. What if you happen to catch a rabbit?

Qin Hao didn't mind helping them out, so he sent out a group email and replied to them.

You can talk to him if you have any questions.

Let's share our experiences in spiritual practice.

He didn't offer any guidance; everyone was of the same generation, all young people.

Although you, Qin Hao, are from a primeval secret realm, they are no less impressive.

No one can predict what the future holds.

Qin Hao knew that with his achievements, as long as he was careful, nothing serious would happen.

Their future achievements will certainly be beyond the reach of these people.

Not to mention others, even Death God Berlan will slowly fall behind from now on.

Only Luo Feng could keep up with his speed.

But that's not necessarily true.

Others fall behind even faster.

Perhaps many years from now, they too will be able to ascend to immortality and become Venerable Ones.

A few can even rise to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

But when will that time come?

They didn't know, but Qin Hao did.

But Qin Hao couldn't say it directly.

Moreover, Qin Hao had no intention of using this to attack others.

So it doesn't matter anymore.

Give everyone some pointers so that these young people can have a smoother journey.

This is also a contribution to the human race.

Of course, this is also a way of concealing the special nature of Earth.

If possible, Qin Hao didn't want Earth's special characteristics to be discovered.

But he knew that at most, it could only be kept secret for five thousand years.

As long as I exist, the next generation of Earth, and even those who follow, may still erupt.

He was able to keep Hong and Thor from revealing the unique way Earthlings fight illusions.

Can it still stop all the people on Earth?

Next, Earth does indeed need to gradually connect with the universe, allowing Earthlings to enter the space age.

At most, in the next ultimate battle of geniuses in the universe, if Earth's geniuses participate, Earth's special characteristics might be exposed.

It had already been exposed even before that.

"This is insane! They actually dispatched 1000 F-class spaceships in one go, and the technology they use is so advanced. My father once said that the Virtual Universe Company's technology is a holy grail of human technology, but this is just too outrageous."

When he logged off, Qin Hao could still hear the voice of Prince Uka of Manka Star.

During this period, many people also inquired whether this F-class spaceship was available for purchase.

Once Namana explained the price of the F-class spaceship, the group immediately shut their mouths.

Even the wealthiest man, Qin Hao, probably couldn't afford it without using his wealth from other worlds and the Locke Divine Water.

Mana then explained some other things and asked everyone to log off.

That is, when Qin Hao spoke up and told Luo Feng and the others to go find him first.

Teleport away.

They did not leave the virtual universe, but were directly teleported back to the virtual universe, to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and the Xuelan Star.

"My God, I had no idea! Just now, during our competition, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion almost faced annihilation!" Thor exclaimed, nearly scared to death.

He was granted the title of King, a title that would grant him immortality.

They had seen the Zerg's mother hive before.

But I've never seen anything that powerful.

Everyone else felt the same way.

As Mana previously mentioned, on the way to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, there is a high possibility of being assassinated by space pirates or alien races.

They have a clear understanding now.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "With my senior brother, Venerable Xiao Dong, here, you don't need to worry about these things."

Furthermore, you should get used to this situation. After all, you are all geniuses, and you have already shown your talents to the entire universe.

Next, you will be the core members of the Virtual Universe Company.

As a result, assassination attempts by foreign races became commonplace.

After all, the Lord of the Universe, the six top races, and the nine major powers are not so harmonious.

Danger exists at any moment in the universe.

Luo Feng sighed, "I had only heard about it before, which was just my imagination."

I never imagined that such an assassination attempt would actually happen.

Hong said, "Hasn't this already happened once before? The more talented a person is, the more likely this kind of thing will happen."

After a pause, Hong changed the subject.

This topic is too heavy.

Fortunately, there was a Venerable One present, so they dared not speak of him.

That person was a powerhouse on par with the founder of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Venerable Qianwu.

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Dong was actually a more powerful Venerable than the Qianwu Venerable.

If Xiao Dong is willing and has enough territory, he can also establish a cosmic kingdom and become its ruler.

"Um, you specifically had us practice the Void Tower runes before, was there a reason for that?"

Since Rong Jun was not present, Hong asked him directly.

Qin Hao didn't want to say much, since they were currently in a virtual universe and it was possible that others wouldn't know.

The virtual universe won't concern itself with some minor matters.

But when it comes to the most precious and original treasures, it's hard to say.

Qin Hao nodded: "There is indeed a reason. My second life is also more complete, and it should be more beneficial for your improvement than before. Let's talk about it in my second life."

With that, he led everyone directly to Second Life.

And the login status for the virtual universe has been cut off.

"You never go too far wrong."

Qin Hao also did not say that the virtual universe is managed by a universe master.

Everything they say and do may be recorded.

Qin Hao gave a reminder, and then said, "The virtual universe is incredibly powerful, even before we entered the universe."

The War God Palace can record the actions of all its members, let alone the virtual universe.

These words made both Hong and Thor a little embarrassed.

However, neither of them had any selfish motives; it was entirely for the safety of the Earth.

So this discomfort was fleeting, and no one took it to heart.

However, they all understood what Qin Hao meant.

"So, is there really some secret on Earth?" Luo Feng asked, directly voicing everyone's doubts.

The people here are all about to join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

They are all currently in control of the Earth, and are at the highest levels.

Qin Hao didn't hide anything from them: "Indeed, I believe you've all realized that you're more resilient to illusions, or rather, to mental attacks, than others?"

Although this degree is not the same for everyone.

But on average, Earth is indeed more resilient than everyone else in the universe.

Luo Feng, who personally fought against the Phantom Demon Galesi and almost lost the match, is the most qualified to speak on this point.

"Yes, I almost didn't react at the time. The Void Tower rune reacted first, which shows how powerful this secret technique is and how it can be activated in an emergency."

Well, enough chit-chat, what I mean is...

Although the illusion magic of the Illusion Demon Galesi was very powerful at the time, it was triggered with just a glance at me.

But I felt that my soul was just a little uncomfortable, but it seemed that I almost broke free from his illusion very quickly.

So, is this what makes Earth special?

Hong and Thor, among others, have all dealt with illusionists.

Even Zhang Daoli and Zhang Yuanbai were involved.

I didn't realize it until it was mentioned.

Qin Hao brought it up at this moment, pointing out the direction, and everyone finally understood.

Qin Hao nodded: "Indeed, although I don't know what's so special about Earth."

But look at how many people here have entered the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. Calculate the probability, and you'll know.

Huh? Everyone was surprised to realize that the probability was indeed too high.

"If I hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have thought about it that way. I was just happy and surprised. We're all from Earth, so we're naturally close."

Next, we can enter the core layer of the virtual universe company together, and that feels amazing.

They even overlooked the fact that in the universe, there's only one world lord for every thousand galaxies.

These people all joined the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

As long as they don't perish along the way, they all have the potential to become the Lord of the Realm.

The probability is even quite high.

This is not normal.

Hong nodded: "Then, third brother, why are you telling us all this now?"

Qin Hao nodded: "I revealed my 'Law of Passing on the Torch' precisely to confuse this characteristic."

Therefore, you should focus on practicing the Void Tower runes.

This secret technique not only provides excellent defense against attacks on the soul.

It is also a good defensive measure against physical attacks.

In addition, the Virtual Universe Company has a Mirage Sea, which is mainly used to test resistance to illusions.

None of you should try this.

Even when you try, don't appear too relaxed, and don't rush through the game or attempt too many levels.

Zhang Yuanbai also wanted to ask how Qin Hao knew about the Virtual Universe Company.

Qin Hao laughed and said directly, "Now that we've come this far, there's no need to hide it anymore."

I have one body with three forms. My future body has now joined the Virtual Universe Company and has been cultivating in Chaos City for several years.

Let me tell you about the situation in Chaos City.

Next, Qin Hao explained some basics about Chaos City so that they wouldn't be unfamiliar with it.

"When you arrive in Chaos City, you will also need to choose your own Chaos Stele. At that time, you can see which Chaos Stele you are most compatible with and choose that one."

There's no need to consider the rest too much.

I still have some methods for enlightenment here, to help you improve your strength.

Qin Hao's words reminded Hong and the others of the enlightenment experiences they had all once enjoyed.

"Chaos Monuments? Are all of those Chaos Monuments?" Thor asked bluntly.

Qin Hao shook his head: "They are not Chaos Steles. Those are all Heavenly Book Steles, but they are all incomplete. I obtained them by inheriting a relic."

Its effects are not as good as the Chaos Stele, but it is still extremely valuable.

Except for this time, you should not discuss this matter again.

If things are not kept secret, they will be leaked...

Everyone was startled and understood Qin Hao's meaning.

Hong pondered, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Even the Virtual Universe Company doesn't have many of these, so they are indeed extremely valuable. I'm afraid the Immortals will all make a move."

"No, not just immortals, but Venerables are the same."

The group discussed the matter, and although their conclusions weren't entirely accurate, they all understood the seriousness of the situation.

Qin Hao also knew that no one would talk about this matter again afterward.

Qin Hao said, "I have already told you everything that needed to be told."

Next, let's talk about the follow-up arrangements.

Next, someone will take us to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, and then take you to Yuxiang Mountain in the Virtual Universe. Everyone will have their own manor.

You will have your own guards, but these guards will only protect you until you advance to the realm master level. At that time, the Virtual Universe Company will make other arrangements.

These are not the main points. Just follow the instructions provided by the Virtual Universe Company.

None of that matters. What I want to say is that the rewards from the Virtual Universe Company will be credited to your accounts soon, and the Virtual Universe Company's treasure trove will be open to you soon.

There are many treasures inside that you have never encountered before, such as treasures that can help your Demon Slayer clone level up quickly.

For example, treasures that can prolong life.

These……"

Qin Hao looked at Luo Feng, then at the others, and said, "I don't recommend that you exchange for these."

The points earned by the Virtual Universe Company are very important.

The ancient texts and secret techniques here are far more valuable than these treasures.

Well, assuming you don't have enough points.

Qin Hao said meaningfully, "If you don't have much experience and don't know how to choose..."

Don't make decisions on your own. You can ask me. I joined Chaos City earlier than you all, so I know a lot and can give you some advice.

He only offered suggestions and said nothing else.

Because next, they joined the Virtual Universe company.

The starting point is the same.

They might even later become disciples of immortals or even venerable ones.

Although they still belong to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, Qin Hao will not speak to them as a master, leader, or superior.

The group seemed to understand Qin Hao's words, and Luo Feng and Zhang Yuanbai were getting a little anxious.

"Master, we..."

"Alright, that's enough."

Qin Hao said with a smile, "Although you all took me as your master before, once you arrive at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company and Chaos City, you will definitely be valued by other immortals, even venerables, and even universe masters."

It's alright. If it's useful to you, don't hesitate to become my apprentice.

Of course, some ordinary immortals would probably be too embarrassed to propose taking on apprentices.

You can consider the proposals for being crowned a king, or even an invincible king.

You don't need to do that. Just remember me in your hearts. You can still ask me questions and even discuss things with me in the future, and explore spiritual issues together.

These things will not change because of a change in status.

By the way, it's getting late. You can go see your families, especially you, Luo Feng.

Next, I need to stay in Chaos City for thirty years, and the subsequent cultivation missions will also take a long time.

The time for you to reunite with your family may have to wait a long time.

The time ratio between Chaos City and the Primordial Universe is slightly over three, meaning that thirty years in Chaos City are equivalent to a hundred years outside.

In addition, there is a long cultivation journey to complete after leaving Chaos City.

Until you advance to the Domain Lord level, the Virtual Universe Company will send you out to another region. At that time, you may consider choosing the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as your place of assignment.

Only then can you come back and see your family.

Given this long period of time, your parents are doing well. You can exchange for enough resources to allow them to slowly advance to the stellar level, or even the cosmic level or the domain lord level. That won't be a problem.

But what about your child?

By then, they will have fully grown up.
