The human is devouring, a new talent every month.

Chapter 10 Seventh World Zone

"This talent selection competition is divided into two major stages."

In the first phase, the top 1000 experts will be selected from various cosmic nations.

In the second stage, the top 1000 experts from each universe nation gather. All the geniuses from various universe nations come together for the final showdown to determine the top 1000 in the overall universe ranking.

in……

The first phase is the largest in scale.

The universe you reside in is the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom.

The Jinlan Universe has over 9735 billion participants, divided into 'preliminary elimination' and 'final arena battle'.

Through preliminary elimination, out of more than 9735 billion participants, only 100,010 people will be left!

Because of the large number of eliminations, the preliminary elimination rounds are destined to be extremely brutal.

The preliminary elimination rounds for the Jinlan Universe Kingdom will first divide the 'virtual universe' into 100 worlds. Each world will have over 97 billion participants. These 97 billion+ people will fight each other in the same world, killing others to earn points. The more you kill, the more points you get! Each person has only one life; death ends the game.

The deadline has arrived.

The final ranking is based on points. Those who rank in the top 1001 in their respective worlds are considered to have passed the preliminary elimination round. 1001 people are selected from each world, and with 100 worlds, 100,100 people will be selected.

at the same time……

The player ranked first in each world's rankings will automatically secure one of the top 1000 spots without needing to participate in a ring battle. The remaining 900 spots will be contested by the 100 remaining players through a ring battle.

"An attachment is attached to this letter; more detailed information can be found in the attachment."

After reading the notification letter and its attachments, Lu Ming couldn't help but admire it once again.

The way humanity's elite select geniuses is this insane.

The "preliminary selection" stage alone is enough to make more than 97 billion elites kill each other in the same world, and the fittest survive!

"The arena battles and the subsequent cycle battles are not very meaningful to me. I can just take the first place in a world region in advance." What he really cares about is the final grand final.

"If I want to secure a spot in the next round early, killing in my own city might not be enough points. I can go directly to other cities and specifically target the big names in those major cities..." With this thought in mind, Lu Ming became even more excited about the opponents he was about to encounter.

……

After the deadline for registration for the Genius Battle, Virtual Universe Company began preparations. The preparations were indeed very tedious, but Virtual Universe Company was extremely efficient.

Just one month later, all the participants from the major space nations received emails calling for the participants to gather.

……

"You are the future elites and pillars of our Golden Lan Universe Kingdom."

"I hope that you will occupy at least half of those 100,100 places!"

A deep, resonant voice that shook heaven and earth echoed across a vast cosmic sky. In this sky, a giant whose face was obscured stood in the void, the space around him subtly distorted. In the distance before the giant, countless young people knelt respectfully, their numbers seemingly endless.

"Go, children. I hope to see your names among the last thousand!" The deep voice sent shivers down the spine of the space and the soul.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of millions of young people from the Hengxing Star Realm knelt down with utmost respect and excitement. They never imagined that they would actually meet the legendary being who established the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom and possessed unimaginable supernatural powers—the ruler of the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom! And this ruler had sat on this position for hundreds of millions of years.

"Is this the King of Jinlan?" Lu Ming observed the blurry, imposing figure out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze met the other's. He couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

"call!"

In the next instant, with a spatial shift, hundreds of millions of young people at the Hengxing level vanished. This incredible divine power sent chills down the spines of the thousands of immortals standing respectfully nearby.

Soon, all the 9700 billion star-level experts in the Jinlan Universe Kingdom gathered together.

Of these 9700 billion people...

Some have extraordinary encounters!

Some are extremely talented!

Some people are lucky enough to have a good teacher!

Some possess the heart of a strong person!

In short...

All sorts of geniuses. They all think they are very strong.

"The Seventh World Zone? That's a good omen." Lu Ming looked at the world zone number that had been randomly assigned to him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"I'm in the First World Zone!"

"I'm in the Ninth World District!"

……

Surrounding Lu Ming were a large group of other geniuses from the Golden Orchid Dojo, many of whom were communicating their zone numbers, attempting to 'team up' with acquaintances to clear the dungeon. Not everyone was as confident as Lu Ming.

In the virtual universe, more than 970 billion people across the entire continent gather together to communicate with each other, a truly rare sight.

"Attention everyone, this preliminary elimination round will be divided into one hundred 'World Zones.' We will be teleporting to our assigned 'World Zones' shortly. Please check your equipment now, as you will no longer be able to request weapons once the preliminary round begins."

A clear voice echoed across the entire continent.

Lu Ming was wearing a second-tier Force battle suit and a spatial ring on his hand, where all the prepared weapons were stored. The weapons, simulated in the virtual universe, were used exactly the same way as in reality.

"Mass teleportation imminent, countdown, 60...59...58..." A clear voice echoed across the entire continent.

A wild, untamed energy flickered in Lu Ming's eyes, about to be unleashed.

「10……9……8……7……6……5……4……3……2……1！传送！」那清晰的宇宙通用语，迴蕩在这片集结大陆上九千七百多亿人的耳边，而后一瞬间，整个大陆上所有人全部消失。

At the same moment.

In the virtual universe, more than 97 billion people have appeared in one hundred separate worlds.

The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses of Humanity in the Universe: Preliminaries Begin Simultaneously Across All Universe Nations!

As a grand event for all humanity, everyone from the highest immortals to ordinary citizens who can access the virtual universe network is paying close attention to this event. Of course, as powerful individuals and citizens of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom, they are naturally primarily focused on the preliminary rounds for their own universe kingdom.

The Seventh World District.

This is a primeval forest, a vast expanse of trees, where Lu Ming's figure appeared out of nowhere.

"The gravity is alright. Also, this kind of forest environment seems to be the main color scheme of this world zone." Lu Ming was not unfamiliar with this kind of environment, as he had already trained in the Killing Space.

He raised his wrist, revealing a screen on his left wrist brace. This screen automatically received numerous messages from the organizer, "Virtual Universe Company."

Participant: Lu Ming (Jinlan Universe Kingdom)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

World Sector: 7

Time: The preliminary elimination rounds will last for 30 days. When the time is up, the entire preliminary round will end, and the winners will be determined according to the final points ranking.

Note: The 7th World Zone is a simulated forest environment modeled after the "Spirit Realm" of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom in reality. The hardness of the soil, trees, etc., has been adjusted to B9 level.

Scoring rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also get half of the opponent's points!

Leaderboard rules: Even if someone dies, they will still be ranked. If their score is high enough, they may still be ranked in the top 1001 even if they lose half of their score.

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.

Standing beneath a towering ancient tree, Lu Ming finished reading the information transmitted by the Virtual Universe Company and was about to set off to find a target. Just then, a young man from the Winged Demon Clan with a blue face and fangs was looking down at him from the sky.

"Found it, my first prey!" The winged ghost youth's face was cold and sinister as he rode the third-tier psychic weapon "Wind Howl Wheel" and attacked through the air!

He had already reached the fifth level of his Wind Domain, and the psychic weapon he used was the 'Wind Howl Wheel,' which was highly compatible with him. He was confident that he could kill the 'unlucky' kid below with a single blow.

"The first one..." Lu Ming murmured softly, then completely ignored the existence of the 'Wind Howling Wheel,' his figure flashing like lightning as he vanished from the spot...
