Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

The words of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler caused Jiang Ming to fall into a brief silence.

Someone is secretly helping them.

This person wields immense power, capable of directly influencing the "Hongmeng" (a powerful alliance).

In reality, this problem is not complicated, because there are only a handful of people in the entire human race who are capable of doing this.

Locking it in is not difficult.

What puzzled Jiang Ming was why "that person" would help them "make trouble"?

Although the sheer amount of money involved in the betting pool seemed to have made even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom restless, in the eyes of "that person," it was nothing more than children playing house.

Instead of stopping them, "that person" joined in their "fooling around".

Jiang Ming simply couldn't understand it.

Seeing the thoughtful look on Jiang Ming's face, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom knew that Jiang Ming did not know the answer either.

"The fact that 'he' didn't stop us, and even secretly gave us a push... shows that he has no ill intentions towards us, which is a good thing."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom reminded him.

"I understand, but let's call it a day while we're ahead."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"Um."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shared the same idea.

"You'd better work hard, because you're responsible for 50% of this."

The Lord of Ganwu Kingdom smiled.

"Fifty percent? Wasn't it supposed to be 7/3?"

Jiang Ming looked at the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom in surprise.

"Whoever puts in more effort should get more; it's fair."

The leader of Ganwu Kingdom said seriously.

Jiang Ming nodded thoughtfully, without objecting.

In fact, he had some guesses that "that person" was only going along with their "fooling around" because of him.

Seeing that Jiang Ming agreed, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled with satisfaction and left immediately.

After the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom left, Jiang Ming did not hesitate and immediately teleported to the Tongtian Bridge plane.

.......

Virtual universe, a special dimensional space.

This dimension is a boundless ocean with surging waves.

There is a unique and beautiful island in the ocean, with 52 ports along its edge.

Each port extends from an endless bridge, stretching towards the horizon... as if connecting to the distant sky, these 52 bridges completely cover the entire ocean.

Jiang Ming appeared in the square in the center of the island.

"Jiang Ming, you've come to break through the Sky Bridge?"

At the edge of the square stood a man dressed in a black star-patterned robe. The man had four ears but no nose, and he walked over with a smile on his face.

"I am Baffin, the guardian of the Skybridge dimension, but I prefer to be called the guardian."

"Lord Guardian."

Jiang Ming bowed slightly.

"Among your group of geniuses, you are the latest to arrive. More than nine hundred people had attempted to cross the Tongtian Bridge before you, but only Luo Feng and Bo Lan have succeeded. They both passed the third level of the 'Nine Universes Tongtian Bridge'."

Baffin said with a smile.

"The Cosmic Bridge has the fewest users; it's almost never used. Are you going to try it now?"

"Baffin asked."

"Yes."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"Go."

After Baffin finished speaking, Jiang Ming's figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the port passage.

Upon seeing Jiang Ming's actions, Baffin's mind stirred, and countless messages instantly traversed the endless void, reaching countless immortals and cosmic rulers.

........

brush!brush!brush!

Almost instantly, a series of incredibly powerful figures appeared on the entire Tongtian Bridge Square.

"Here he comes! Jiang Ming is finally going to cross the Sky Bridge!"

"I've been waiting for so long, I thought he was going to cultivate for ages."

"After all, it's the Chaos Monument of the Universe, the most difficult path, so it's only right to prepare more."

Discussions rose and fell.

Immediately afterwards, even more terrifying auras descended.

Those are the rulers of the universe.

More than twenty cosmic rulers appeared in the plane almost simultaneously. Each of them possessed an aura as deep as the ocean, and their mere presence caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

"Qianwu, this little guy from your universe kingdom has kept us waiting for ages."

A cosmic ruler, dressed in a golden robe and with a majestic face, laughed.

"What's the rush? Good things come to those who wait."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm, but a hint of expectation could be faintly seen in his deep eyes.

"The Nine Swords Venerable has arrived."

Someone said in a low voice.

In the void, a figure in azure slowly descended. The Nine Swords Venerable was still wearing that azure battle robe, and the purple scales on his head shimmered faintly under the starlight.

"Nine Swords, you're really lucky. This year's Genius Battle is hailed as the most brilliant in the history of the human race."

One of the kings said with envy.

Nine Swords Venerable smiled in response, genuinely happy.

As the host of the Peak Genius Battle, he naturally has his own advantages. In the future, when these geniuses become immortals, they will be placed under his command.

"Qian Wu, which level do you think Jiang Ming can pass?"

One of the kings, who had snow-white wings on his back, looked at the Qianwu King, and the others also looked over.

"Just look."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and said.

........

The cosmic bridge stretches to the ends of the earth, shrouded in misty white fog, with the sea roaring below.

"Master, here is a report on the Tongtian Bridge from the virtual universe."

"The entire cosmic bridge has 30 levels, and you can earn points by passing through it."

"Master, here is a report on the Tongtian Bridge from the virtual universe."

"The entire cosmic bridge has 30 levels, and you can earn points by passing through it."

"Passing the first level rewards you with 100 points."

"Pass the second level and you'll receive an additional 200 points."

"Pass the third level and you will be awarded another 400 points."

"The scores will double each time, then it will be 800 points, 1600 points, 3200 points........."

"Master, as a newcomer, the Virtual Universe Company has a special reward rule - as long as you pass through the Sky Bridge in Chaos City within 30 years, the points reward will be ten times the reward."

A clear, clear voice echoed in Jiang Ming's mind.

Jiang Ming nodded slightly. The reward for the Tongtian Bridge would be quite generous for others, but for Jiang Ming, it was only so-so.

He now receives half of the gambling funds as dividends, which is ten trillion mixed units!

This number would make even the most powerful and invincible kings envious; they would find it utterly insane.

In reality, it might not reach ten trillion, since there are always winners.

With so many immortal powerhouses betting, even on the 30th level of the Cosmic Sky Bridge, some people dare to place bets of dozens of Chaos Units—

After all, the odds for the 30th floor are trillions of times higher.

......

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Defeat your opponent to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven."

Jiang Ming flew to the end of the first level of the Sky Bridge, where a crystal brick beneath his feet lit up.

"Warrior."

Jiang Ming made his choice.

The next moment, the square brick suddenly changed, transforming into the figure of a middle-aged man wearing silver armor.

"Defeat me to enter the second level."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his body turned into dust, revealing the passageway to the sky behind him.

Jiang Ming took a step forward and continued moving forward.

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Ming was not seen making any move whatsoever.
