Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 42: Venerable

In the evening, the sunset is like a gorgeous painting, dyeing the sky into a brilliant blend of orange, red and golden colors.

At this time, Jiang Ye and Ai Chen were leisurely sitting in one of the bustling restaurants in the central square. They were drinking their drinks comfortably, leisurely savoring the delicious food on the plate, and fully enjoying this rare, relaxing time full of leisure and tranquility.

Suddenly, a voice that seemed to resound directly in the deepest part of people's consciousness suddenly intruded in: "All participants of the 1008 Universe Country, gather at the central square immediately."

Under this strange unconscious drive, Jiang Ye and Ai Chen seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand and stood up involuntarily and mechanically.

Not only the two of them, but all the talented geniuses in the restaurant quickly stood up as if they had received some kind of instructions.

Then, 1008000 geniuses could be seen, some flying in from the sky like lightning, some leaping out from the tall residential buildings, and some gathering quickly from the edge of the central square to the center. Millions of geniuses were acting like they were inspired by something!

It was just a very brief moment!

1008000 geniuses formed an extremely neat and large-scale large-scale formation and stood steadily on the central square. Then, millions of geniuses woke up almost at the same time.

"what happened?"

"In the end what happened?"

"Hey, why am I here? I was clearly in the house just now."

The millions of geniuses in the entire formation had expressions of extreme shock on their faces.

"Is this the Venerable's immense power? Even in this virtual universe he still possesses such amazing power!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

At this moment, in front of the square formation, 1008 beings who seemed to exude the aura of eternal immortality suddenly appeared. These immortal beings naturally exuded their extremely shocking powerful pressure. The pressure exuded by thousands of powerful immortals was like a mountain pressing down on one's head in an instant, causing the millions of people in the square formation to quiet down, and no one dared to make the slightest sound.

"Welcome to this top talent competition held by our Virtual Universe Company." An extremely gentle voice reached everyone's ears clearly and distinctly. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice with extremely shocked expressions.

A man wearing a green battle robe and with mysterious and dazzling purple scales on his head suddenly appeared in the empty air ahead. He had a gentle and kind smile on his face... but standing in the air, he looked like an ancient god king. The natural aura he exuded made millions of young people involuntarily feel a deep sense of submission.

Moreover! Although people's naked eyes can clearly see the man in green robes in the distance, all the geniuses present feel as if the great supreme being is not in the same space as themselves. The strange feeling of time and space confusion makes people feel very awkward and weird.

"1008 cosmic countries, each of which selects people, a total of more than one million geniuses." The man in green robe stood steadily in the void, looking down at the millions of geniuses below, his voice still so gentle, "Our Virtual Universe Company will select the strongest people from among you and absorb them into the core of our Virtual Universe Company." "You one million people are about to compete for these places."

"Here are the rules."

"Tomorrow, all of you will enter a 'trial space' respectively. Our Virtual Universe Company has prepared more than a million trial spaces for you, one for each of you."

"There are seven trial towers in the trial space! Each trial tower has seven floors!" "Start from the first trial tower. After you have passed the seven floors of the first trial tower, go to the second trial tower... until you die and are kicked out of the trial space!" "Calculate the points based on your performance in the trial space."

"Those ranked 1st to 100th in points will be directly recruited as core members of our Virtual Universe Company without further screening and will be given 100 places."

"No. 101 to No. 7300, these 7200 people will compete in the ring to compete for 900 places."

"As for those ranked after 7300...all of them will be eliminated!"

The words of the man in green robe made the millions of geniuses below sluggish, and each of them showed an incredible expression on their face. There were a total of 1008000 people this time, which meant that more than one million people were eliminated in just one trial space!
The mysterious and powerful being representing the Virtual Universe Company, after making these simple announcements, disappeared without a trace in the same instant as he had appeared so abruptly just now.

Although everyone was confused, they quickly dispersed and left.

Jiang Ye had originally planned to invite Ai Chen to visit his residence, but the little girl ran away like a frightened rabbit.

The next morning.

When the first ray of golden sunlight broke through the sky and gently fell on this vast plane of space.

"Everyone please get ready. We will be collectively teleporting soon, sending all participants to their respective trial spaces." A clear and pleasant voice, like the sound of a yellow oriole leaving a valley, echoed clearly throughout the entire plane space.

All the geniuses in the 1008 towering buildings have already gotten up in high spirits, and are quietly waiting for the cruel elimination that is about to begin with feelings of nervousness, anticipation, or uneasiness.

Elimination takes place first, and then the decisive battle.

However, when it comes to cruelty, this elimination trial is obviously more terrifying.

"come on."

"Work hard." In the lobby on the first floor of Building 0825, many geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom smiled at each other and whispered blessings to each other.

It was too cruel. This first wave of elimination alone would eliminate more than one million people! Of the 1000 geniuses present, the number of people who could still stay here steadily would probably not exceed one pair of hands.

suddenly--

boom!
An invisible strange force descended upon the entire plane space like a surging tide. This mysterious and powerful force instantly swept across the entire plane space, causing all 1008000 young geniuses in the entire plane space to be instantly teleported away in the blink of an eye.

As for the immortal beings in this space, as well as the restaurant staff and other irrelevant personnel, they were not affected at all and remained in the same place safely, as if the magical scene just now had nothing to do with them.
