Lu Yunhe recalled the overpowered beings in countless worlds and immediately calmed down. Compared to his predecessors, his was merely a minor overpowered ability.
A small hook doesn't count as a hook; it's practically the same as not turning it on at all.
Afterwards, Lu Yunhe silently registered himself, and information about the Peak Genius Battle popped up. The process was very simple:
First, each of the major cosmic nations conducts a selection process to choose elites to participate in the ultimate battle of geniuses among the entire human race. Then, during the final battle, the final rankings will be determined.
"The top 1000 in the universe will receive three major rewards: First, a bonus ranging from 10 to 1 Chaos Units, depending on their ranking. Second, a spot to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment. Third, the opportunity to become a 'core member' within the Virtual Universe Company."
"The reward is very generous!"
Recalling his several avatars that were still hungry, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but feel envious of the 10,000 Chaos Units bonus, which was comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary immortal god and was enough for him to cultivate one of his avatars to the level of a World Lord.
"Ninth-tier Stellar-level Martial Artist, registration approved!"
Looking at the cultivation level on the virtual universe network, Lu Yunhe felt that he was bullying others a bit, but since he had cheated with his own abilities, he didn't need to feel guilty.
After registering, Lu Yunhe stopped paying attention and continued to immerse himself in cultivation, since the entire registration period would last for a month.
……
The genius battle, hosted by the top human forces, has a far-reaching influence, and many geniuses who are confident in themselves are unwilling to let this opportunity slip by.
On a blue planet, a white-robed, bald old man bid farewell to his disciple, leaving behind a white-clad youth carrying a blood-red sword.
A young, burly man with messy hair and bare feet, resembling a wild man, also chose to sign up for the Genius Battle after killing a cosmic-level powerhouse at a higher realm.
Various cosmic nations, such as the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, have successively sent their elite disciples to participate in the Genius Battle.

Testimonials
I was a little surprised to learn from the editor that it will be available tomorrow. The author is truly grateful for everyone's support.
This book was also uploaded without any documentation. I only got a chance to sign a contract after writing tens of thousands of words, and then all sorts of problems arose during the signing process.
So when I see that people are still willing to give me monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and rewards, I am very touched. I won't thank them all individually here.
Then, the reason for writing this book is that the author used to really enjoy reading fanfiction of Swallowed Star, and has read quite a few different kinds of fanfiction.
Since most fan works about devouring characters basically involve clones, they definitely need to have special abilities.
Then an idea popped into my head: to have an Ultraman clone, modify it a bit, and fit the world view of Swallowed Star.
Based on the Golden Horned Beast, this is a modified version of Ultraman: The Giant of Light and Time.
However, if there is only Ultraman, he will either be given an extraordinary talent from the beginning, or he will return to the clone form, and the Nine Nether clone form will also be unavoidable.
Since that's the case, let's just use monsters from the Ultraman world. After all, many of those monsters have incredibly powerful abilities, so a slight modification would be quite suitable.
Because it's purely fan fiction, all these monsters are modified and incorporated into the Devourer universe.
Then there's the issue of the clones' positioning. In the early stages, meaningless clones can't be created, which is why the Ten-Tails God Tree exists, replacing plant life and the abilities of the Armored General, making it very suitable.
This is the main inspirational theme, and then it needs to be integrated into the Devouring worldview.
Because I genuinely lack the writing skills and creative ideas to create a good world of my own, I write fanfiction. This is probably why it's difficult to produce high-quality fanfiction; if I had that ability, I would just write original works.
The reason I chose to start with Nirvana is because I initially wanted to write a post-apocalyptic story, and then construct a fantasy version of the social structure, production system, etc., that should exist in a post-apocalyptic world...
Then they discovered that once the cheat was activated, it would be possible to flatten the Earth in just one month.
After Earth became invincible, the author also wanted to construct an Earth that combined technology and fantasy, especially the lives of "ordinary" people under such circumstances.
When I was reading the original novel, I really wanted to see the storyline about the period before becoming a martial artist, but unfortunately it wasn't there; it was just glossed over. That's why I came up with that set of calisthenics.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the writing skills when I was writing it, so I could only scratch the surface and couldn't develop it further.
When writing a book, I really had a lot of ideas and inspirations that I wanted to include, but unfortunately I didn't have the writing skills and the concept, which is why some plot points felt strange.
While this might lead to poorer grades for the book, it's not without its benefits.
As an author, I wouldn't easily abandon a story with a bad ending or leave it unfinished, because a part of it is indeed something I wanted to write for myself.
After all, the author anticipated the book's performance. If he had truly written the book solely to make money, he probably would have abandoned it midway through, because he simply didn't have the writing skills, resulting in poor sales, low subscriptions, and no money, ultimately leading to abandonment.
At least for now, I want to give my thoughts and inspirations a complete ending.
It will be available for purchase tomorrow. I won't make any promises about extra chapters here. Firstly, it's meaningless for someone like me who's not doing well, and secondly, I hate setting limits for myself, which is influenced by my first job.
(They say they set a goal for you, then see that it's too low, so they increase the target. If you don't meet the goal, they make you work overtime, saying that since you set the goal yourself, you naturally need to work overtime. It's disgusting.)
(Taking advantage of the product launch, I really want to vent about this situation in the company now.)
Because I'm currently working, I can't update frequently, so I can only manage two updates a day.
However, I still have some drafts saved up, so I will update a few more chapters tomorrow and the day after. I really can't update any more, I'm sorry.
Chapter 83
Registration for the Peak Genius Battle ends on April 16th, 2066 (Chinese calendar)!
An email was sent to all applicants' virtual universe network, outlining the rules of the Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses.
More than 8225 billion stellar-level experts have signed up to participate in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. To ensure fairness, all participants' physical qualities and mental strength will be maintained at the ninth level of the stellar level in the virtual universe battlefield.
At the same time, you can freely choose any Force weapon or psychic weapon of any grade (no more than 10 pieces), and you can also choose Force suits (no more than Tier 2). You can also obtain a space ring for storing food.
This talent selection competition is divided into two stages.
In the first stage, the top 1000 masters from each major universe country were selected.
In the second stage, the top 1000 experts from each universe nation gather, bringing together all the geniuses from various universe nations for the final showdown. This will determine the top 1000 in the overall universe ranking.
The first phase is the largest in scale.
Taking the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as an example: The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has more than 8225 billion participants, divided into 'preliminary elimination' and 'final battle'.
Through preliminary elimination, out of more than 8225 billion participants, only 100,010 people will be left!
The preliminary elimination process in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom involves dividing the 'virtual universe' into 100 worlds, each containing over 82 billion participants. These 82 billion people will fight each other in the same world, earning points by killing others; the more you kill, the more points you earn! Each person has only one life; death ends the game.
At the final deadline, the top 1001 people in each world will be eliminated in the preliminary rounds. 1001 people will be selected from each world, and 100 worlds will be selected, resulting in 100,100 people.
at the same time……
The player ranked first in each world's rankings will automatically secure one of the top 1000 spots, bypassing the arena finals. The remaining 900 spots will be contested by the remaining 100 players through a competitive arena battle.
……
May 16, 2066, was the day of the 'preliminary selection' gathering of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
Countless people are paying attention to this talent selection battle, and all 8200 billion star-level experts in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom have gathered together.
"Teacher, I'm going to participate in the arena battle." Luo Feng had collected information on past genius battles, and with his current strength, he was fully capable of being among the top 1000 in the Qianwu Kingdom.
However, Luo Feng's goal is not to be among the top 1000 in the Qianwu Kingdom, but to be second in the Genius Battle.
To achieve this goal, he cannot rely on the understanding of laws he has gained through the evolution of the Golden Horned Beast to overpower others; instead, he must perfectly integrate this understanding of laws with the human body.
Therefore, the three years of honing his skills in the arena became crucial for Luo Feng.
“Okay!” Lu Yunhe nodded. Although Luo Feng is indeed much stronger than the genius Zhan in the original story, he has also been cultivating for too short a time, so it is difficult for him to make any qualitative changes.
The original story kept the timeline very tight, only starting to stretch out towards the end.
"As for Thor and me, we can only do our best," Hong said calmly. "As long as we can successfully pass the preliminary rounds and participate in the arena battle, there is still a chance to join the Virtual Universe Company."
With the help of Ultraman's clone, Hong successfully touched the threshold of the fundamental law of light, but it will take some time to truly stabilize it.
"Come on!"
Lu Yunhe nodded slightly. In this battle of geniuses, he was assigned to District 66, Luo Feng to District 1, Hong to District 72, and Thor remained in District 88.
Subsequently, the more than 820 billion participants from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom were gathered on a continent, where all sorts of figures could be seen.
"The tallest is only a little over ten meters!"
Lu Yunhe glanced around, focusing mainly on the height of the humans in the Cosmic Kingdom. It seemed that it wasn't too outrageous and was still within the normal range.
"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 Yunhe looked down at himself. He was wearing a gray-white Tier 2 Force battle suit, with the divine weapon Primal at his waist and a spatial ring containing some supplies in his hand. Overall, he looked very simple.
"Mass teleportation is imminent, countdown, 60...59...58..." A clear voice resounded throughout the entire continent.
When the count reached one, the more than 820 billion figures on the mainland instantly disappeared and were cast into one hundred independent worlds created in the virtual universe.
The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses of Humanity in the Universe: Preliminaries Begin Simultaneously Across All Universe Nations!
As a grand event for all of humanity, everyone from the high and mighty immortals to ordinary cosmic citizens who can access the virtual universe network pays attention to this event, which can be considered a kind of entertainment activity for the entire universe.
Of course, as powerful individuals and citizens of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, they naturally focus primarily on the preliminary rounds of their own universe kingdom.
……
World Zone 66!
Lu Yunhe's vision blurred slightly, and he found himself in a snowy field, surrounded by pure white snow, with even a beautiful aurora in the distance.
"Its gravity is about 1 times that of Earth!"
Lu Yunhe stood with his feet firmly planted in the snow, gazing at the aurora borealis in the distance. It was actually quite a nice spot for sightseeing. He then looked at the screen on his wrist brace, which automatically received numerous messages from the organizer, 'Virtual Universe Company'.
The screen was covered with dense text.
Participant: Lu Yunhe (Qianwu Universe Kingdom)
Points: 0
Rank: None
Location: World Zone 66
Time: The pre-selection elimination will last for 30 days. When the time is up, the entire pre-selection ends, and the winner will be determined based on the points ranking at the last moment.
Note: World Zone 66 is an ice and snow continent simulated based on the 'pure white planet' of the real-world Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The entire continent has a large number of icebergs and cliffs, with a total area of more than 22 million square kilometers. All materials in this world, including snowflakes, have a hardness of B9.
Scoring rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also get half of the opponent's points! Therefore, killing skilled players can earn you more points.
Leaderboard Rules: Even deceased players retain their ranking. If their points are high enough, even if death terminates the preliminary round and results in a 50% loss of points, they may still rank among the top 1001. Therefore, please hurry!
Please note that each person only has one life. Upon death, the preliminary selection will stop and half of the points will be lost.
