China Summer Time · May 16, 2066
Today marked the official pre-selection gathering of the Peak Genius Battle for the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.
This time—
A staggering 822.5 billion Stellar-level warriors had registered under the Ganwu Universe Kingdom alone.
At the gathering point, Jiang Yan, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor stood amid an endless sea of participants.
They had already completed equipment selection.
Equipment Restrictions
Throughout the Genius Battle:
Battle suits, boots, helmets → limited to Second-Order Force equipmentWeapons → allowed up to Fifth-Order
The rules ensured fairness—
victory would depend on law comprehension, domains, and combat skill, not equipment stacking.
Jiang Yan's Loadout
Jiang Yan wore a Second-Order silver-gold battle suit.
His weapons included:
Dun Tianshuo (Telekinetic weapon)Thunder Shadow Spear (Force weapon)Sky Shadow Shield (Force defense)Yan Divine Soldier — one of the Nine Great Divine Weapons of the Spiritual Nian Master lineage
In the Virtual Universe, simulated weapons were identical to reality—
no weakening, no shortcuts.
World Area Assignment
"Third Brother," Thor said, glancing at his interface,
"the qualifiers divide us into 100 world zones."
"I'm assigned to World Area 88. What about you guys?"
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.
"World Area 21."
Once again—
21.
Hong chuckled. "I'm in World Area 72."
Luo Feng laughed. "I'm in World Area 1. Looks like none of us landed with Third Brother."
Thor and Hong laughed as well.
Anyone placed in the same world as Jiang Yan—
was simply unlucky.
Jiang Yan's Warning
Jiang Yan looked at Thor and said calmly:
"Second Brother, be especially careful in World Area 88."
"If you encounter a barefoot savage wielding a blade—
turn around and leave immediately."
Thor froze.
"…What?"
"Leave? Without fighting?" Thor stared. "Is he that strong?"
Hong frowned. "Third Brother—do you have solid information?"
Jiang Yan nodded.
"If my information is correct, he'll appear in World Area 88."
"He has already comprehended two laws to the threshold level."
"This Genius Battle—
he can place top ten in the entire universe."
Silence.
Luo Feng's eyes widened.
"Top ten… universe-wide?!"
Thor sucked in a cold breath.
Since the Peak Genius Battle began—
The Ganwu Universe Kingdom had never produced a top-hundred finisher.
Top ten was monstrous.
Jiang Yan continued evenly:
"Second Brother, if your points aren't enough to safely enter the top 1,001, and you meet him—leave."
"Otherwise, you won't even pass the qualifiers."
Thor exhaled slowly.
"…Understood."
Pre-Selection Announcement
A booming voice echoed across the entire continent.
"Attention all participants!"
"This preliminary elimination will be divided into 100 world areas."
"Collective teleportation will begin shortly."
"Before teleportation, check your equipment carefully."
"Once the qualifiers start, equipment changes will no longer be permitted."
Luo Feng and the others immediately confirmed their loadouts.
Jiang Yan glanced once at the weapons stored in his ring—
then waited calmly.
To him—
This qualifier was nothing more than a warm-up.
Teleportation
"Collective teleportation countdown."
"60… 59… 58…"
Jiang Yan smiled at the others.
"Let's all pass."
They nodded.
The countdown ended.
In an instant—
Over 800 billion participants vanished simultaneously.
At the same moment—
100 massive worlds opened within the Virtual Universe.
Each world contained over 8.2 billion Stellar-level warriors.
Across the Human Race—
Qualifiers began in every universe kingdom.
World Area 21
Jiang Yan felt space twist.
A brief sensation of weightlessness—
Then clarity returned.
He was standing inside a simple room.
A bed.
A living area.
A bathroom.
Standard starting residence.
He clenched his fist lightly.
"Physical fitness: Stellar Rank Nine."
"Consciousness: Stellar Rank Nine."
"Gravity… over ten thousand times Earth."
Everything matched expectations.

Jiang Yan sat on the sofa and activated the screen on his left arm.

"A dense battlefield," Jiang Yan murmured.
"Eight-point-two billion people in this area alone."
"I'm currently in Fengyue City, Eastern District."
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.
"If I want first place in World Area 21…"
"I'll need to clear at least four or five cities."
"Staying in Fengyue City alone won't be enough."
He leaned back, relaxed.
"No rush."
"I'll let points accumulate first."
"In a day or two—
I'll start sweeping."
Kill later.
Harvest faster.
First place—guaranteed.
BOOM!
The B9-grade alloy door of the room suddenly exploded inward.
Shards flew.
The battle—
Had begun.
