Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 42 The Fate of an Ordinary Genius
"If you hadn't stopped me from breaking through to the cosmic level, I would never have been able to join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, let alone break through to become immortal!" Hoggs said with great gratitude.

After participating in the first peak genius battle, although he failed to break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, he quickly cultivated to the peak of the stellar level and could break through to the universe level at any time.

However, after he became Lu Qingshan's apprentice, Lu Qingshan let him stay at the star level for a while longer and then participate in the next peak genius battle five thousand years later.

As many geniuses of his age broke through to the cosmic level and traveled around the universe, Hoggs also began to doubt Lu Qingshan's orders.

But fortunately, he finally followed Lu Qingshan's instructions and waited until the next peak genius battle, and then rushed directly into the apocalyptic secret realm in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, and soared into the sky from then on!
You know, just by becoming a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm, he directly received a reward of 10 Hunyuan Units, which is comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary realm master, not to mention the many benefits that the core members of the subsequent Virtual Universe Company can enjoy.

Now, millions of years have passed, and most of the geniuses who were the same age as Hoggs have passed away. Only a very few are still struggling for various resources in the realm of realm master, and even fewer can break through and become immortal.

This also proves that it was undoubtedly a very lucky thing for him to be able to become Lu Qingshan's disciple.

So even though Hoggs' strength has already surpassed Lu Qingshan, he still respects Lu Qingshan immensely!
"Hoggs, the main reason you can become immortal is that you have amazing talent and understanding!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "I have accepted so many disciples in the past, but you are the only one who has become immortal!"

"Teacher, the trial tower has begun!"

Hoggs gave a reminder, then waved his hand, and a scene of many geniuses passing the trial tower appeared in front of Lu Qingshan and the others.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of level-breaking footage will not be broadcast live to the outside world, and most people in the universe can only see the ranking changes.

However, Lu Qingshan and Hoggs are both immortal gods under the Virtual Universe Company, so they naturally have the authority to watch the challenge scenes in the Trial Tower.

In fact, the Virtual Universe Company gave them access so that they could have the opportunity to select suitable disciples.

After all, in addition to the top one thousand geniuses in the universe who can join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, other geniuses are also very good. If they can be accepted as disciples by an immortal god, then their chances of becoming strong in the future will naturally be higher.

Lu Qingshan casually browsed through the images of several top-ranked geniuses, and then asked calmly: "Hoggs, do you know any outstanding geniuses among this year's geniuses?"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's words, Hoggs quickly replied: "Teacher, I did collect some information before, but this year's genius battle should be relatively ordinary. The strongest ones have just stepped into the threshold of the origin law of space or the origin law of time. But it is not ruled out that some of them are conserving their strength!"

Among the group of geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company at the same time as Hoggs, there were some who conserved their strength before the finals, and only defeated the others with an overwhelming advantage at the end, won the first place in the genius battle, and thus joined the original secret realm.

It's a pity that the peerless genius who had been expected to become an immortal king eventually died at the hands of a powerful alien on a battlefield outside the domain!
"Then does our Yanfeng Universe have any outstanding talents?" Lu Qingshan asked again.

"no!"

Hoggs shook his head and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about taking in a few disciples and training them well in the past few tens of thousands of years, so I paid more attention to the genius battle and the strong battle. But in this genius battle, the strongest one in our Yanfeng Universe will hardly make it into the top 1,000 in the entire universe!" "Besides that, there is a little guy who has entered the threshold of the law of the origin of lightning in less than a hundred years of cultivation. However, this little guy was born in the royal family of Yanfeng Universe, and he became a disciple of an immortal marquis very early on. He must look down on an immortal military lord like me!"

"Hoggs, you underestimate yourself!"

While watching the battle between the geniuses in the trial tower, Lu Qingshan said, "With your comprehension and talent, as long as you practice hard for a while, it shouldn't be difficult to become a marquis immortal!"

"Teacher, you really think too highly of your disciple!"

Hoggs smiled bitterly and said, "Ever since I successfully broke through to the immortal realm hundreds of thousands of years ago, my understanding of the laws of the origin of time seems to have completely stopped. There has been no progress at all in hundreds of thousands of years!"

"If I had known this, I would have stayed in the Realm Master stage for a while longer. Maybe I would have had a chance to break through and become immortal!"

In fact, before Hoggs broke through, he knew that the speed of comprehending the original laws would slow down after breaking through to immortality.

But at that time he had been trapped on the fourteenth floor of Tongtian Bridge for a long time, so he decided to break through and become immortal.

But he didn't expect that after becoming immortal, the speed of his comprehending the original laws was only one hundred times slower than that of the Realm Lord stage. He began to regret it.

"My biggest wish now is to perfect my secret technique as much as possible and strive to reach the top level!"

Hoggs said again: "Once my secret technique breaks through to the top level, my strength will be able to rank among the top military leaders!"

"Besides that, I will try to accumulate some wealth. Maybe I can buy some powerful mechanical weapons in the future. By the way, I can also train more disciples like you, teacher!"

After hearing what Hoggs said, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he had not joined the chat group of all heavens, his future life would be roughly as Hoggs described.

The best he could do was to wait until Luo Feng rose to prominence in the future and then invest in him, so that he could lie more comfortably among the human race in the future.

Fortunately, with the existence of the Zhutian Chat Group, he can still try to continue his struggle!
Over the next few days, Lu Qingshan watched the finals of the Genius Competition with Hoggs, but after discovering that this year's Genius Competition was no different from previous ones and that they didn't see any suitable disciples, they soon stopped paying attention.

Hoggs regained consciousness and continued to complete the task he had received. Lu Qingshan also quickly bid farewell to his family and flew the spaceship towards the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

After all, the thousand-year vacation given to him by the company is about to end, and he has to report to the Virtual Universe Company.
