Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 321 The Crown of the King

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the platform at the top of the tallest crystal pillar, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly immersed in cultivation.

But in reality, his soul power was like an invisible net, quietly covering the entire ultimate arena.

A fierce battle is unfolding between the crystal pillar arrays.

After the initial shock and hesitation, the other contestants finally began to use their precious challenge opportunities cautiously.

The roar of colliding energies and the brilliance of interwoven rules rose and fell within the arena.

Lin Yi's divine sense calmly swept across every part of the battlefield, taking in every subtle movement.

Though his face remained impassive, a knowing smile quietly surfaced deep within his heart.

really
He keenly observed a crucial phenomenon: when choosing their opponents, the Spirit Race prodigies all tacitly avoided human competitors!

As the absolute core of the Pan-Spirit Alliance, the Spirit Race had the vast majority of participants among the 1000 who advanced to the ranking competition, accounting for more than 60%.

If they intend to target human players, even though players like Huiyao, Xingyu, and Baifeng are quite strong, they will face immense pressure in the ranked matches where they need to defend their positions repeatedly. Their rankings could be lowered, and some might even lose their precious spots in the finals.

However, at this moment, the Eldar players on the field seemed to have reached some kind of silent consensus.

Their gazes swept over the crystal pillar where the human contestant was located, and almost without lingering for a moment, they quickly locked onto other targets.

Lin Yi even clearly saw that a Spirit Race genius originally wanted to challenge the crystal pillar where Huiyao was, but after a slight hesitation, he paused and then abruptly changed direction, choosing to challenge a Crystal Spirit Race contestant next to him with a more imposing aura.

In stark contrast, the Nightmare Clan players experienced a different fate.

Because the conflict between the human race and the nightmare race is almost an open secret within the Pan-Spirit Alliance, those figures shrouded in dark purple mist seem to be the first choice for the spirit race's prodigies.

In a short time, the Nightmare Clan contestants were defeated by the Spirit Clan's fierce offensive. They were either knocked down or gave up voluntarily, falling to lower levels of the crystal pillar.

"This tacit understanding came so quickly. It seems that showing mercy to Edith has already paid off." Lin Yi understood.

His final gentle push saved face for Edith and the Spirit Clan, preventing the embarrassing situation of the Spirit Clan's top prodigy failing to reach the finals.

This seemingly small act of kindness prompted responses from all the Spirit Race contestants present.

After all, they weren't stupid. Lin Yi, the human, had just given the spirit race face. If anyone turned around and picked on a weak human and beat him up, they wouldn't be able to stay in the circle anymore.

That's why these prodigies of the Spirit Race would rather fight stronger opponents than choose to fight human prodigies.

Lin Yi smiled inwardly and continued to observe the situation.

Soon, he discovered an even more interesting detail.

Not only the Spirit Race contestants, but also those from other powerful races such as the Holy Radiance Race, the Crystal Spirit Race, and even some mid-level races, almost all avoided the Human Race contestants when they had other options.

After defeating his opponent, one of the Li Clan contestants could have chosen to challenge Xingyu, who was positioned slightly higher. However, after hesitating for a moment and glancing at the direction of the highest crystal pillar, he ultimately chose to challenge another Ling Clan contestant.

Similar scenarios occurred in multiple locations on the field.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi understood the key to it.

"Countless hidden realms"

The answer is ready to come out.

Although the finals have not yet begun, the results of this pinnacle showdown in the ranking competition have led these qualified players to almost universally acknowledge one fact: Lin Yi will undoubtedly win the overall championship of this year's Genius Battle.

According to the ancient rules of the Pan-Spirit Alliance, the winner of the Genius Battle will automatically become the leader of the Pan-Spirit Alliance when they enter the mysterious and perilous "Myriad Secret Realms" together.

This team leader position is more than just an honor.

It possesses the crucial authority to coordinate the various factions within the Pan-Spirit Alliance and formulate basic operational strategies.

These contestants are all outstanding talents from their respective ethnic groups, with keen and insightful minds.

The difference in ranking in the competition is nothing more than a difference in resource rewards. Although it is important, it is ultimately a "battle for wealth".

But once you enter the myriad secret realms where the rules are unknown and powerful enemies lurk all around, it becomes a true matter of life and death!

Challenging a human player now might be a good chance to win, improve your ranking, and gain more resources.

But it's more likely that it will leave a lasting impression on that future team leader.

Once you reach the secret realm, you won't need any "special treatment." Just a slight shift in the decision of "send him or you, save him or you" will come at a price that far exceeds what these resources can make up for.

These prodigies knew exactly what was more important.

"Very realistic, and very clever. It seems that my yet-to-be-officially-crowned team leader status has already begun to exert its deterrent effect," Lin Yi thought to himself.

This intangible awe speaks louder than any words in proving the status he established after this battle.

He doesn't resent this reality.

That's how things are in Xinghai: strength earns respect and privileges.

In his past life, he had seen too many examples of people ruining their futures because of momentary impulses. In this life, he admires the rationality of these contestants even more.

Edith's gratitude, the Eldar's avoidance, and the other races' apprehension all point to the same conclusion: he is now the undisputed leader of the younger generation of the Pan-Elf Alliance.

This prestige was already evident before the ranking matches even ended, and it truly served as a protective umbrella for the human players on the field.

In this subtle yet tacit atmosphere, the pressure on the human players was greatly reduced.

Huiyao remained firmly in a high position, while Xingyu and Baifeng also steadily maintained their positions as crystal pillars by relying on their own strength.

Although the process was slightly bumpy, they eventually succeeded in occupying a crystal pillar in the upper region.

Time passed during the battle.

Lin Yi stopped paying attention to the specific battle below and instead focused his mind on his body, beginning to solidify the time law he had just begun to understand.

Although the silver mark between his eyebrows had disappeared, he could feel that the mark was slowly growing deep within his soul, creating a subtle resonance with the 999 star cores in his body.

The rhythm of the laws of time flowed through the source energy, making his every breath seem to be in sync with the pulse of the universe.

Occasionally, he would open his eyes and glance at the second crystal pillar where Edith was located.

The spirit girl also sat cross-legged, closing her eyes to regulate her breathing.

She seemed to have fully recovered from the shock of defeat, her breathing steady and deep.

"As expected of a genius nurtured by the Spirit Clan." Lin Yi thought to himself.

To be undeterred by defeat, and even to learn from it, is a mindset that is more precious than talent.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye amidst intense challenges and defenses.

When the giant countdown above the arena reached zero, all the crystal pillars stopped moving simultaneously.

The pale blue light shield rose again, enveloping each contestant.

Ranked matches have ended.

The final rankings have been determined.

The top 128 contestants have advanced to the finals.

Golden text appeared in front of each crystal pillar, displaying the final ranking of the contestants on that pillar.

What appeared before Lin Yi was:

[Ranking: 1]

[Player: Lin Yi (Human Race)]

[Promotion Status: Qualified]

He glanced at it calmly and stood up.

Almost simultaneously, a gentle teleportation fluctuation emanated from the center of the arena.

A thousand figures were simultaneously enveloped by teleportation light and disappeared from their respective crystal pillar platforms, only to reappear in their respective waiting areas the next second.

Inside the waiting area reserved for human players, lights flashed one after another, and the figures of Lin Yi, Huiyao, Xingyu, Baifeng, and others appeared one by one.

As soon as Lin Yi steadied himself, several figures surrounded him.

"Brother Lin Yi!"

"Captain!"

Huiyao, Baifeng, Xingyu, Lingxuan, as well as Kenx, Moyuan and others immediately surrounded them.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin Yi, on securing first place and bringing glory to our human race!" Hui Yao clasped his hands in greeting, his voice filled with excitement.

Witnessing Lin Yi crush the Spirit Clan's number one genius with the power of time still fills me with a sense of shock and pride.

Xingyu also bowed solemnly: "Lord Lin Yi, this battle is enough to awe the entire starry sea and make your name known for eternity!"

In his gaze toward Lin Yi, besides admiration, there was also a hint of awe, as one would show when facing a being of a higher level.

"That's incredible! Captain! It's the Law of Time! Those Eldar's faces are frozen in shock." Kenx rubbed his hands together excitedly, making no attempt to hide his excitement.

Even Qingfeng, who is usually straightforward and dashing, was less casual in front of Lin Yi, and her eyes showed a bit of restraint.

She bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations on reaching the summit, Lord Lin Yi." Her voice was much gentler than usual.

Lin Yi smiled gently and nodded to each of them, "You flatter me." Then, his gaze swept over everyone and landed on Huiyao, Xingyu, and Baifeng. He said sincerely, "Congratulations to Brother Huiyao, Brother Xingyu, and Captain Qingfeng for successfully advancing to the top 128 in the finals! Of course, everyone else did a great job too."

Looking at these contemporary prodigies of the human race, Lin Yi felt quite emotional.

In my past life, I remember that in this year's Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle, only two humans made it to the finals, and both of them were eliminated in the first round.

In this life, besides himself being a variable, Huiyao, Xingyu, and Baifeng also successfully entered the top 128 through hard work and good fortune, bringing the total number of human race members advancing to the finals to four, a full doubling.

While the fact that one more race made it to the finals was partly due to the Eldar and other races tacitly helping each other out, it was even more inseparable from their own hard work.

Lin Yi would only feel happy for them.

However, during the pleasantries, Lin Yi keenly noticed that apart from Huiyao, who was able to maintain a relatively natural communication due to his special status, Xingyu's awe was quite obvious, and even Qingfeng, who was straightforward, was cautiously respectful in her words and actions.

Lin Yi was no stranger to this sense of distance caused by the sudden widening gap in strength and status.

He had deeply experienced this back in the Blue Star era, when he rose from an unknown student to become the leader of civilization.

Looking across the entire planet now, apart from his closest family members, probably only the easygoing Chen Yu can still make him feel somewhat relaxed.

After a brief rest and excited conversation, everyone tidied themselves up and left the contestants' waiting area together, heading to the grand banquet hall that was specially opened for the contestants.

This is a tradition after every major competition, serving as both a time for relaxation and an opportunity for exchange among the elites of various ethnic groups.

The wide corridor leading to the banquet hall is paved with energy crystals, shimmering with light.

Along the corridor, athletes from other races would occasionally walk by after finishing their matches.

When Lin Yi appeared at the entrance of the corridor, walking at the forefront of the human race's prodigies, an invisible aura seemed to naturally spread out.

The various prodigies who were originally walking hurriedly or talking in hushed tones—whether they were from the Spirit Clan, the Holy Radiance Clan, the Crystal Spirit Clan, or other powerful races—all stopped and stood still the moment their eyes fell on Lin Yi.

"Lord Lin Yi!"

"Congratulations, Lord Lin Yi!"

"Congratulations on achieving first place!"

Greetings rose and fell, each tone carrying a clear sense of respect, even a hint of awe.

They bowed slightly or touched their chests in a gesture of respect, adopting a very humble posture.

Even the proud and arrogant geniuses of the Spirit Clan abandoned their usual reserve and aloofness, and took the initiative to greet them.

Lin Yi remained calm and composed, nodding slightly in response to the greetings and replying with simple "hmm" or "congratulations" with a glance. His demeanor was neither arrogant nor overly enthusiastic, maintaining a just-right distance.

Huiyao followed half a step behind Lin Yi, taking in all of this, his heart filled with complex emotions.

There was both pride in sharing in the glory and a deep sense of envy.

As a direct descendant of the Venerable One, even the Eternal Gods within the human realm would treat him with the utmost courtesy and respect.

However, Huiyao knew very well that this politeness stemmed more from the powerful figure behind him than from his own strength.

Once they leave the human territory, especially in the eyes of the true core geniuses of the spirit race, the bloodline of a powerful race's lord is not taken seriously at all.

He could clearly sense that deep-seated sense of superiority and alienation.

But now, these arrogant Spirit Race prodigies, who regard the human race as a subordinate race, have shown such a completely different attitude when facing Lin Yi.

That wasn't just politeness towards his background, but a heartfelt recognition and awe of his personal strength, the immense power of the laws of time he demonstrated, his almost inevitable path to becoming a supreme ruler, and the authority he would soon assume over the myriad secret realms.

This respect is earned through hard work!

It was Lin Yi who won it from the Spirit Race, a top race in the universe, with a stunning battle that shocked the entire starry sea.

As Huiyao watched Lin Yi's tall and straight back, a phrase from the ancient Silver Blue Civilization that he had previously learned suddenly came to mind:
"That's what a man should do."

Yes, this is the true path to becoming a strong person.

Without relying on bloodline or background, but solely on his own strength, he carved out his own territory and earned the respect of all races.

Xingyu and Baifeng were equally excited.

Their advancement to the finals is already a remarkable achievement within the human race.

But it was only when they were with Lin Yi that they truly realized what a "stage in the sea of ​​stars" meant.

Only then did I truly understand what humanity needed to rise in the starry sea.

They are not just one or two ordinary prodigies, but leaders like Lin Yi who can command the respect of all races with their own strength.

"Lord Lin Yi, this way please."

The Eldar staff led the human group toward an area deep within the hall.

A long table had already been set up there, displaying various rare spiritual fruits, energy-rich delicacies, and beverages exuding a misty aroma.

This is a reserved seat for Human players, located quite close to the front, second only to the Eldar main table.

After taking his seat, Lin Yi's gaze swept across the entire room.

He saw Edith sitting at the head of the Eldar table, surrounded by several Eldar geniuses, who were talking in hushed tones.

Seemingly sensing Lin Yi's gaze, Edith raised her head and met Lin Yi's eyes from a distance of dozens of meters.

She raised the crystal glass in her hand, giving a slight nod.

Lin Yi also raised his glass in response.

"It seems the Spirit Race has truly accepted it." Not far away, a Crystal Spirit Race contestant whispered to his companion.

"What can you do if you don't acknowledge it? The laws of time have been in effect for two hundred thousand epochs. Everyone will have to acknowledge it."

"Moreover, Lin Yi's last move gave the Spirit Clan a lot of face. The Spirit Clan values ​​this the most, and they are probably still grateful."

"That's right. Actually, with the Spirit Clan's resources, they could have pushed Edith to the level of Law if they didn't care about the cost. But if they really did that now, they would lose face big time. So Lin Yi's first place in this competition is already secured." "Speaking of which, the Nightmare Clan is in a bad situation this time. I heard that none of their seven who advanced to the ranking competition made it to the finals, and they were basically all ranked at the bottom."

"Serves them right. Who told them to be so arrogant and hostile to the human race? Now that Lin Yi has risen to power and the spirit race has made its stance clear, the other races naturally know which side to stand on." Similar whispers echoed throughout the banquet hall.

The Star Sea is never just about simple fighting and killing; it's more about subtle alignment and exchanges of interests.

The contestants from different ethnic groups began to move around, communicating with their own kind, allies, and even potential rivals.

The atmosphere seemed relaxed, but undercurrents were actually swirling.

Many players are already secretly praying for their group assignments in tomorrow's finals, hoping they won't encounter those universally acknowledged powerhouses too early.

Lin Yi sat in his seat, quietly savoring the "Star Dew Tea," a specialty of the Spirit Clan.

Tea crystal is as clear as amber, cool on the palate, then transforms into a warm energy that flows throughout the body, providing a slight nourishing effect on the soul.

Clearly, this is one of the perks that the Eldar have prepared for the contestants.

He sat quietly, listening intently to the intelligence summary that Xuanji had gathered through special channels.

"Master, according to preliminary statistics, among the 128 contestants who have advanced to the finals of this ranking competition, the Spirit Race has 78 seats, the Human Race has 4 seats, the Holy Radiance Race has 9 seats, the Crystal Spirit Race has 7 seats, the Mechanical Race has 7 seats, the Li Clan has 6 seats, other medium-sized races have 6 seats, and weak races have 2 seats."

"Compared with previous sessions, the number of seats for the Spirit Race remained basically the same, while the number of seats for the Crystal Spirit Race, Holy Radiance Race, and Mechanical Race decreased slightly. The number of seats for the Human Race increased from an average of 2 to 4, while the number of seats for the Nightmare Race plummeted from an average of 3 to 0."

"It is worth noting that the total share of small and medium-sized ethnic groups has increased from about 5 seats in previous sessions to 8 seats, mainly squeezing out the share of traditionally powerful ethnic groups."

Lin Yi silently analyzed the data in his mind.

The increase in the human race's market share is easy to understand; it's a chain reaction brought about by his rise.

The Nightmare Clan's market share plummeted, clearly influenced by him.

The increase in the share of small and medium-sized groups is an even more interesting signal.

While thinking.

"Lord Lin Yi."

A voice sounded beside me.

Lin Yi looked up and saw Edith standing by the table.

She changed into casual clothes, her long, light green hair cascading over her shoulders, and her emerald eyes appearing exceptionally clear under the banquet hall lights.

“Your Excellency Edith,” Lin Yi stood up and responded politely.

Many eyes immediately turned to them.

The fact that the two main characters from the qualifying rounds are appearing together again is itself a highly topical topic.

Edith smiled slightly. "I just wanted to say thank you in person. If you hadn't shown mercy, I would have brought shame upon my family."

Her tone was frank, without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "That was just a competition, not a life-or-death battle. Your strength and demeanor have also benefited me greatly."

These words were partly polite, and partly sincere.

Edith's purity and focus in battle truly showed Lin Yi the potential of a genius among the Elven race.

The two exchanged a few words, their conversation shifting from the competition to cultivation, and then to interesting anecdotes from their respective civilizations.

The conversation was peaceful and natural, as if they were not opponents who had just decided the outcome of a match, but long-time friends.

The banquet didn't last long, after all, there was the final tomorrow.

After the event, the athletes returned to their respective rest areas one after another.

Surrounded by the human team, Lin Yi walked out of the Starry Sky Hall and along the transparent sky corridor toward the players' accommodation area.

Outside the corridor, the Ultimate Arena glitters with nighttime lights.

Countless energy beams flowed across the night sky like auroras, and the distant starry sky was clearly visible, with billions of stars twinkling with eternal light.

"Lord Lin Yi, look over there." Xingyu suddenly pointed into the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

There were still many spectators in the viewing area at the edge of the arena.

They gathered on the terrace, looking up at the skywalk the athletes were walking through.

When the human audience saw Lin Yi, they couldn't help but erupt in cheers.

The shouts could be faintly heard through the transparent barrier.

Lin Yi stopped and looked down.

He saw the excited faces of the human audience, as well as the complex expressions of the audience from other races.

At that moment, he suddenly realized clearly that what he was carrying on his shoulders was no longer just personal victory or defeat.

"Let's go," Lin Yi said softly, turning around and continuing forward.
-
The next day, the ultimate arena.

The excitement of yesterday's qualifying rounds has not yet completely subsided, and the tense atmosphere of today's finals has already permeated every inch of space.

On the viewing platform, millions of beings from all races of the Pan-Spirit Alliance, as well as countless eyes watching the battle through the virtual network, were focused on the 128 crystal pillars in the center of the arena that symbolized tickets to the finals.

As a soft yet majestic light descended from the arena's dome, the clamor of the entire Ultimate Arena instantly subsided.

The light converged, revealing a majestic figure shrouded in countless tiny feathers of light.

He didn't deliberately release any pressure, but the majesty that originated from the level of life and accumulated over countless eras made every contestant and spectator present unconsciously hold their breath.

It was none other than the supreme host of this year's Genius Battle, the Radiant Lord.

"Welcome to all contestants and spectators to the final stage of the Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle."

The Radiant Lord's gaze slowly swept over the 128 contestants, lingering briefly on Lin Yi, the one with the tallest crystal pillar, before continuing, "After rounds of selection, you represent the strongest level of the younger generation of Star Core level in the Pan-Spirit Alliance."

"The next showdown will be the final battle for glory."

As the words fell, a golden list of final rules and rewards appeared in the sky above the arena:

[Finals Format]

The tournament proceeds from 128 to 64, then from 64 to 32, from 32 to 16, from 16 to 8, from 8 to 4, culminating in the semifinals and finals. It's a single-elimination tournament with randomly matched opponents; the loser is eliminated.

[Final Reward]

1st Place (Champion):
Growth potential eternal artifact embryo (type and rule preference can be discussed with the organizing committee according to needs).

Opportunity to study the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm (10 days).

Article 2:
One fragment of the Holy Source Crystal Core.

Opportunity to explore the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm (3 days)
3th-4th place:
One-time access to exchange for high-level rare items in the Spirit Clan Treasury.

Opportunity to explore the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm (one day)
As soon as the list was announced, gasps of amazement rippled through the audience.

The champion's reward, in particular, is a customizable embryo of an eternal artifact and ten days of comprehension in the Sacred Tree Secret Realm. Even for the pride of the Spirit Clan, this is an unparalleled opportunity.

Lord Radiant Light slightly raised his hand, and the hall fell silent once more.

"Now, let's begin the first round of the finals."

As soon as he finished speaking, random pairings of light beams appeared between the 128 crystal pillars.

Lin Yi stood atop the tallest first crystal pillar, overlooking the entire arena.

However, when the countdown for the first round of the competition reached zero, and the battles of the other crystal pillars were in full swing, an eerie silence fell over Lin Yi's place.

His opponent was a triple-domain genius from a powerful race.

When this prodigy drew Lin Yi as his opponent, a fleeting look of surprise and helplessness crossed his face.

He took a deep breath, looked at the calm figure on the highest crystal pillar, and recalled the "silver glow" and the time-space freeze that had silenced the entire starry sea yesterday. Finally, he slowly raised his right hand.

"Contestant number 128 concedes defeat."

There was no exchange of blows, not even a single probing move.

No one mocked this prodigy's choice.

In the second round, Lin Yi's opponent was also from a powerful clan, and was in the fourth realm.

He stood on the crystal pillar, facing Lin Yi, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said decisively, "I admit defeat."

In the third round, his opponent was another Spirit Race genius, a fifth-level expert.

The Spirit Race contestant bowed slightly to Lin Yi, a customary greeting from the Spirit Race after yesterday's battle, and then calmly announced his forfeit.

Round 4 and Round 5
In each round, the opponents unanimously chose to concede defeat.

In the semi-finals, Lin Yi's opponent was a prodigy from the Holy Radiance Clan.

When he was teleported to the platform of the crystal pillar where Lin Yi was, he only took a deep look at Lin Yi before silently raising his left hand, the traditional gesture of the Holy Radiance Clan to indicate surrender.

The final match has finally arrived.

In the center of the arena, all the other crystal pillars and battles had ended, leaving only two crystal pillars standing the tallest.

The highest crystal pillar, Lin Yi, his deep blue combat uniform spotless.

The second crystal pillar, Edith, in silver armor, with calm blue eyes.

The two stood a hundred meters apart, gazing at each other from afar.

The aftershocks of yesterday's thrilling showdown still seem to be echoing in the air.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting the final collision.

The Radiant Lord's gaze also fell on the two of them, waiting.

Then, under the gaze of millions of people in the audience, Edith took a slight breath, and then her turquoise eyes looked clearly at the stage.

"I surrender."

There was no hesitation, no struggle, and not even any negative emotions.

It's like stating a fact that has already been accepted.

A silence.

Then, cheers swept through the entire Ultimate Arena like a flood.

This is not anger, nor is it mockery; rather, it is an acknowledgment of the ultimate coronation of the strong.

Amid cheers, Edith looked at Lin Yi and bowed slightly.

Lin Yi nodded slightly and accepted the bow with composure.

This acknowledges the gap between them and sets the tone for future cooperation in the secret realm.

As the Radiant Lord watched this scene, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but it eventually subsided into calm.

He slowly rose to his feet, his solemn voice resounding throughout the starry sea.

"The final match is over."

"The ultimate champion of this year's Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle is..."

"Human race—Lin Yi!"

Golden light poured down from the dome, condensing into a pillar of light that completely enveloped the crystal pillar where Lin Yi was located.

Ancient and melodious music resounded around the ultimate arena, a victory hymn passed down through countless eras by the Eldar.

Inside the arena, the emblems representing different races lit up one by one, as if the starry sea itself was offering its congratulations.

The human players clenched their fists excitedly, and tears of pride glistened in the eyes of Huiguang, Xingyu, Baifeng, and others.

On the virtual network, the bullet screens of all live streaming channels were flooded with the uniform message "Lin Yi, Champion!"

There was no question.

There was no resentment.

Yesterday, he won the approval of the entire Pan-Spirit Alliance by using the Law of Time.

Today, he simply walked calmly to the finish line, accepting the glory that had been destined for him.

No one doubted the value of this championship, even though no final match had been played.

Because everyone understands that the opponents' surrender was not due to cowardice, but to a clear understanding.

Faced with an existence that has mastered the laws of time at the Star Core level, any challenge becomes meaningless.

The stars will not remember the process.

The stars will only remember the final victor.

Lin Yi was the undisputed winner this time.

Applause, music, and light intertwined to create a magnificent ocean.

On the highest crystal pillar, Lin Yi's gaze remained calm.

At this moment, he stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation in Xinghai, witnessing scenery he had never seen in his previous life.

"But it's not enough."

Lin Yi murmured to himself.

Now, he wants more than just the championship in the talent tournament.

What he wants is to protect everything he cherishes, write a brand new future, and step by step, reach the end of his cultivation journey to see the view from the highest point.

And all of this must begin right now.

Let's begin with the upcoming journey to countless hidden realms.

It starts with taking each step steadily and practically on the path ahead.

of course.

Even if the secret realm is incredibly strange and unpredictable, that's a story for later.

And now.
Lin Yi smiled slightly.

He only needs to enjoy the glory of this coronation.

　The "Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle" volume has ended, and a new volume will begin tomorrow: "Human Council Members," who transform from racial prodigies into high-level decision-makers.
