Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 88 Choosing the Chaos Stele, True King Yan [Twelfth Update]

No one dared to delay and quickly dispersed.

Luo Yun also randomly found a small building with a pale white door and placed his palm on it.

With a hum, the door instantly turned dark gray.

This will be his residence for the next thirty years.

A moment later, the thousand geniuses regrouped on the street and headed together to the ancient and magnificent city lord's mansion.

The black-robed envoy was already waiting at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.

Upon seeing the arrival of everyone, his calm face remained expressionless as he spoke directly: "The most crucial treasure of Chaos City is the key to your comprehension here."

All the geniuses pricked up their ears, their expressions focused.

The black-robed envoy turned around and led the group into the spacious city lord's mansion.

After passing through a long, dark corridor, they arrived at a huge open-air plaza.

In the center of the square, fifty-two huge stone tablets stand silently.

Each stone tablet exudes a completely different, yet equally vast and boundless aura.

Luo Yun's gaze swept over these stone tablets, and he immediately made a decision.

His path is clear: he prioritizes the fundamental laws of space and uses the fundamental laws of water as a supplement.

Therefore, the Chaos Stele he chooses must also be related to these two.

"These are the rubbings of the 52 Chaos Steles in Chaos City, and they have a slight effect."

The voice of the black-robed messenger rang out.

"Each Chaos Stele represents a supreme Dao."

If you can fully comprehend any one of them, you will be qualified to become a cosmic master!

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted across the square.

"As newcomers, each of you has only one chance to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

"The time for contemplation was only a short seven days."

Seven days!

Everyone felt immense pressure.

Compared to the total duration of more than thirty years, seven days is far too short.

"To save time, you cannot directly contact the Chaos Monument."

"These are rubbings of the 52 Chaos Steles. You will make your choice by looking at these images."

"Remember, you only have half an hour to make your choice."

"In half an hour, I will take you to the real Chaos Monument according to your choices."

After the black-robed messenger finished speaking, he fell silent and stood quietly to the side.

The hall fell into complete silence, with only the rapid breathing of the thousand geniuses remaining.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the fifty-two paintings on the wall, wanting to choose a path to the top within the short half hour.

Luo Yun's consciousness swept over the fifty-two rubbings.

Each picture is like an independent world, containing a completely different and profound law.

Soon, two Chaos Monuments attracted his full attention.

One of them is called the "Dragon's Chaos Stele".

Luo Yun only glanced at the rubbing and felt a monstrous wave crashing over him.

The image depicts what appears to be a divine dragon swimming in an endless ocean, with each scale and each flick of its tail embodying the supreme mysteries of the fundamental laws of water.

This is the Chaos Stele, based on the fundamental law of water.

The other one is called the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele".

The rubbing of this Chaos Stele is composed of water droplets, the movement of stars, and mythical beasts.

That's it!

Luo Yun made a decision in an instant.

This Nine Universes Chaos Stele is primarily based on space, but it also has a certain relationship with the fundamental laws of water!

This perfectly complements his talent for combining water and space.

Luo Yun did not hesitate at all.

He chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

At the same time that Luo Yun made his decision, the other geniuses in the square also made their choices based on their own insights and paths.

On the rooftop of a secluded mansion within Chaos City.

A majestic being, over eight meters tall and covered in dark golden fur, resembling an ancient giant ape, sat cross-legged.

He was none other than the renowned and illustrious King-level Immortal True Evolution King.

Opposite him, a bewitching woman with the upper body of a human woman but a huge black snake tail from the waist down was leaning against the wall.

She flicked her tongue and let out a charming laugh.

She is a close friend of the True King, and also the Black Mist King, an immortal being at the King level.

"Zhen Yan," the Black Mist King said with a smile, looking at him, "you've tasted great success taking that little fellow Luo Feng as your disciple. Why are you here so early to observe this year's batch of youngsters? They've only just begun choosing their Chaos Steles."

King Zhenyan opened his eyes and let out a loud laugh.

"Haha, just browsing, just browsing."

The two chatted casually.

Suddenly, King Zhenyan looked at a scene in the void and said with a smile, "Oh? This year's champion, that little guy named Luo Yun, chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

Upon hearing this, the Black Mist King turned her gaze in that direction, glanced at it, and then let out a soft snort.

"Hmph, just because he chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele doesn't mean he'll choose you as his teacher."

After saying that, the Black Mist King was already making plans in his mind.

This little guy named Luo Yun is indeed quite talented.

Should I also find some time to hold a lecture and see if I can take him under my wing?

Half an hour passed quickly.

The geniuses in the square also made their choices one after another.

Xianyin's choice did not surprise anyone.

She chose a stone tablet called the "Illusory Dream Chaos Tablet," whose rubbings were filled with bizarre and fantastical scenes that were hard to distinguish from reality, perfectly matching her path as an illusionist.

Morosa, on the other hand, chose the "Giant Axe Chaos Monument".

As for the taciturn martial arts fanatic, he chose the "Dragon Soaring Chaos Stele".

One thousand geniuses, based on their understanding of the fundamental laws and their future paths, have all made their decisions.

"Time's up."

The black-robed envoy's calm voice rang out, and with a wave of his hand, the geniuses in the square were divided into fifty-two teams by an invisible force.

"Each of you should follow your respective guide to the corresponding Chaos Monument."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of envoys dressed in black robes appeared, leading different groups in different directions deep within the city lord's mansion.

Luo Yun's team had fewer than twenty people.

They all chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

Led by a black-robed messenger, they passed through an ancient corridor and arrived at a giant gate.

At the entrance of the building, an elderly man dressed in a simple gray robe stood quietly.

The old man had a kind face and white hair and beard, but what was most striking was the tightly closed vertical eye between his eyebrows.

He didn't exude any powerful aura; he looked like an ordinary old man. But his eyes seemed to contain an endless starry sky, ancient and profound.

Luo Yun's heart stirred slightly.

It was him, Kandri.

One of the guardians of Chaos City, a terrifying being who has lived for countless billions of years.

"Hehe, another batch of little guys has arrived." Kander spoke, his voice kind and gentle, with the kind of affection an elder has for his juniors.

"It's wonderful." Looking at these vibrant faces, he exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Every time I see you newcomers, it makes my heart feel younger."

Luo Yun sighed inwardly. This being was probably more ancient than many cosmic nations, yet he could maintain such a peaceful state of mind.

The black-robed messenger bowed respectfully to Kandri and then left.

Looking at the dozen or so geniuses before him, Kandri smiled and said, "Your guides should have already told you the rules. Comprehending the Chaos Stele takes seven days at a time, and you need to queue up."

"Based on the rankings of this year's Genius Battle, who is number one?"

All eyes were on Luo Yun.

"Come with me." Kandri beckoned to Luo Yun, then turned and pushed open the ancient stone door behind him.

As he passed by Luo Yun, he paused, patted Luo Yun on the shoulder, and said in an encouraging tone, "Little guy, study hard. The previous Luo Feng also studied this Nine Universes Chaos Stele. I hope you can achieve something like him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yun's expression became somewhat strange.

Luo Feng —

That's my disciple.

Luo Yun felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

He didn't say much, just nodded to Kander, and then stepped through the stone door.
