Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 80 Thunder Emperor!

"The top three in the world region must be geniuses who have crossed the threshold of the Laws!"

"Among the top 100 in the world, there are geniuses who have even grasped a trace of the laws!"

"With nine realms of power, as long as you're careful, you're bound to break into the top 1,000 or even the top 500!"

"Don't waste time fighting in the first few days of the preliminaries; it's a thankless task with very few points! Wait until 8-10 days later; the last 20 days are when you can accumulate points most rapidly!"

That's all I have to say. Take care of yourselves.

With 60 seconds left in the countdown, Jiang Zhe gave another earnest instruction, his deep eyes fixed on Thor.

"Haha~ I know, I won't do anything reckless."

Thor, his plans exposed, chuckled and rubbed his bald head. He did indeed intend to wreak havoc as soon as he entered.

"Luo Feng, your training time is too short. The entire Genius Battle will last for 3 to 4 years. This is your last chance to transform. You can make your own arrangements."

Jiang Zhe finally looked at Hong, "You're the most composed one among us. The only thing holding you back right now is your understanding of the laws of light. Keep it up!"

Amidst a sea of ​​people, the four looked at each other.

"Good luck!" Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Let's get through the preliminary rounds together." The repeated instructions made Thor's expression more serious.

"Keep it up!" Hong said with his signature smile.

"3...2...1! Teleport!"

A clear universal language echoed in the ears of over 800 billion people, and then in an instant, everyone on the entire continent vanished.

In the virtual universe, 82 billion people have descended into one hundred separate worlds.

The preliminary rounds have officially begun!

……

99th World Zone.

Jiang Zhe's vision blurred for a moment, and after two or three seconds, clear scenery appeared before him.

The sun was shining brightly overhead.

The sea breeze carried a salty, damp scent, and the soft, yielding sensation underfoot made Jiang Zhe realize that he was standing on a sandy beach.

In front of me were coconut trees and bushes, and turning around to look behind me, I saw the vast ocean with the faint outlines of distant islands.

"What amazing gravity!" Jiang Zhe stretched his limbs, adjusting. "Indeed, Earth is like a marble among the many life-bearing planets in the universe."

Looking down at the arm guard on my wrist, a pop-up screen displayed a series of messages received from the organizers.

Participant: Kang Chul (Byze Sung)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

World Sector: 99

Timeframe: The preliminary elimination rounds last for 30 days. Once the time is up, the entire preliminary round ends, and the winners are determined by the final points rankings.

Note: World Zone 99 is an ocean region modeled after the real-world planet "Azure Planet" of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The entire region covers a total area of ​​over 19 million square kilometers, comprising 87 large islands, with land accounting for 54% of the total area. The hardness of buildings, ground, trees, and many other objects within World Zone 99 is B9.

Points rules: ...

Leaderboard rules: ...

Please note that each person only has one life. Upon death, the preliminary selection will stop and half of the points will be lost.

A detailed ranking list is attached below…

Jiang Zhe sat cross-legged on the beach, reading the data sent by the Virtual Universe Company. The data he calculated in his mind made him frown.

"Each area of ​​nearly 20 million square kilometers contains only 87 islands?"

"Each island has an average land area of ​​120,000 to 130,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of Fujian Province in the previous life, yet it has to support the fighting of nearly 100 million people, with a population density of about 300 to 600 people per square kilometer?"

After calculating the data, Jiang Zhe glanced up.

Many people had already taken to the air and were fighting in the distant sea, and there were continuous roars coming from the depths of the island behind him, and several streaks of light were flying towards him.

A faint light suddenly darted out from the bushes behind him, arriving behind him in the blink of an eye and presenting a dark, short blade that seemed to absorb light.

"I'll accept your points!"

A voice like sandpaper rubbing against sandpaper, whispering the death god.

A short blade pierced the back of his head.

Before this slender figure, who was 1.7 meters tall and specialized in assassination, could even get excited, he saw the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground vanish like a bubble.

His pupils constricted sharply. "What is that? An afterimage? His speed—"

"It's an illusion! You're too slow!"

"Uh...ha..."

The female assassin looked down at the hand protruding from her chest; the furious ape pattern on the back of the dark purple metal gauntlet appeared even more lifelike from being bathed in blood.

Her eyes, still brimming with disbelief and astonishment, lost their luster.

Jiang Zhe pulled his arm out from behind the female assassin, flicked it lightly, and there was no dirt left on Hui Suo's hand.

His heart remained unmoved as he looked down at the screen on his wrist; the text had changed.

"Sigh, we should fatten the pig up before slaughtering it. Let's find a suitable place to live first, and then start our operation in ten days."

Jiang Zhe did not release the Shadow Shuttle, and walked into the forest as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Anyone who dared to overestimate their abilities and rush close to him was instantly killed by the three-foot-long lightning bolts roaming around him.

The Destructive Hand, First Layer: Heavenly Punishment!

Even though it is slightly inferior to the nine divine weapons of the controller, it can still be considered invincible among those of the same level and rank.

Playing a qualifier shouldn't make you sweat profusely.

The gravity of the world was tested, which limited Jiang Zhe's psychic power to a maximum range of about 1000 meters. Any star-level being that entered the warning range would be mercilessly killed.

During this period, Jiang Zhe explored the area where the participants could move. At an altitude of about nine thousand meters above the ground, there was an invisible barrier.

At a depth of 1000 meters below the surface, there will also be obstacles that prevent further descent.

No obvious traces of technology were found on the island, and its level of civilization is roughly equivalent to the feudal era on Earth.

After venturing hundreds of kilometers into the island, Jiang Zhe found a stilted house nestled against the mountain and beside the water, which had not yet been damaged by the combatants. He was very satisfied and prepared to stay there for ten days.

The telekinetic energy radiated outwards for a kilometer.

Any participant who entered the warning zone would be annihilated by a three-foot-long bolt of lightning that descended from the sky, as if it were divine punishment.

Gradually, this place became a recognized no-go zone.

Anyone accumulating points in this area will avoid the area within a one-kilometer radius of the stilted building.

Some people gave this powerful figure whose face was unknown the title of "Thunder Emperor," and it gradually spread within a small circle.

For the past ten days, Jiang Zhe has been diligently cultivating the secret technique of the "Tower of the Void," constructing a three-layered pagoda in his sea of ​​consciousness with his mental power.

This represents a cosmic-level level of soul defense!

With Jiang Zhe's strong will, he is certainly qualified to cultivate to a higher level.

However, given his strength at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, his mental and spiritual power were insufficient, so he could only temporarily stop at the third level.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Even so, it's still abnormal enough.

Even on the final battlefield of the battle of geniuses, no mental attack from a mentalist could shake his soul.

"The next 20 days won't be quiet at all. I don't have the patience for ring battles. The guaranteed admission spot in District 99 is definitely mine!"

As Jiang Zhejing pondered, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, sensing several powerful auras surrounding him.

The consequences of dividing territory into kingdoms have finally emerged.

Everyone knew that there was a tyrant in this stilted house who was far more powerful than them.

The other party's reluctance to act is not out of kindness or reluctance to kill, but rather because they want to wait for the victims to grow stronger before ruthlessly fleecing them!

This was like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all the participants in the western part of Island No. 32.

Some participants, having witnessed the terror of the divine lightning, chose to stay away from the western district, or even flee the island on the eve of a volcanic eruption.

Some chose to unite with other participants to eliminate this deadly threat first.

Nearly forty participants took off at the same time. After exchanging glances, they transformed into streaks of light and rushed straight towards the stilted houses nestled among the mountains and rivers.

Flying psychic weapons, ferocious Force attacks...

A torrent of colors burst forth simultaneously, aiming for a fatal blow.

scoff!

Electricity crackled and sputtered in the air!

A dark purple lightning field opened up, trapping all thirty-eight participants inside, and a terrifying pressure was applied to them.

The telekinetic weapons were entangled by electric arcs, and the spiritual energy attached to them gradually dissipated, with some falling to the ground due to the corrosive effects.

The torrent of primal energy unleashed was annihilated by the electric arcs surging within the domain, leaving only a wisp of smoke in the air.

"Damn it! How can there be such a terrifying domain?"

"It's a law!" someone exclaimed. "He must have crossed the threshold of the laws and integrated his understanding of them into his domain."

"Run! Run! He's definitely among the top 100 in the world; we can't handle him!"

Swish! Swish! Swish...

Jiang Zhe, riding the Shadow Shuttle, finally appeared, but there were dozens of figures in total, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Nine beams of three-foot-long lightning swept around them.

With incredible speed, they blasted the heads of the fleeing participants to pieces.

A genius trained by the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom recognized the ability Jiang Zhe used and roared in disbelief before dying.

"Time Illusion!"

"This is the law of time. Why is this monster so unknown and not in the intelligence of the Space Nation?"

The strange occurrence above the stilted house terrified the onlookers, who were stunned by the dozens of illusory figures that were difficult to distinguish from the real ones.

In an instant, they all came to their senses, their faces filled with terror, and they fled in all directions with all their might.

Jiang Zhe did not chase after him. He withdrew his domain and looked at the screen that popped up on his wrist.

Participant: Jiang Zhe (Bizhexing)

Points: 1690034

Ranking: 892

Indeed, making a move later in the game is the key to success.

Those who dared to surround and kill him were all of considerable strength. Killing these thirty-eight individuals increased his points by over 160 million.

……

Bi Ze Xing?

It is a second-level administrative star directly under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, managing dozens of surrounding star regions.

Its superior is a first-level administrative star, and there are only 9 of them in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, which manage nearly a thousand surrounding star regions.

Jiang Zhe obtained citizenship from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom without specifying his background, so the staff assigned him to a nearby location.

Just like Luo Feng's achievements, they will serve as an honor for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Even the star regions directly under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are subject to merit calculation, and the lowest statistical unit is the area governed by a second-level administrative star.

Based on the place of registration on his nationality, Jiang Zhe is considered a talent cultivated by Bizexing.

In the lavish hall of a spaceship, thousands of people were seated. They were the ruling class of Bize Star and its subordinate third- and fourth-level administrative stars.

One-tenth of them held a higher status than the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Congratulations, Star Lord!"

I finished coding around 1 a.m. and am now revising the rough draft, which is expected to take an hour.

I'm short four chapters; I'll try to manage one tomorrow.

My typing efficiency is still low.
