Father

Li Che's father in this life is named Li Hong. When Li Che was born, he was a ninth-level cosmic-level martial artist with the ninth level of the domain and also mastered a trace of the water's origin law.

Ever since Li Che could remember, his parents, relatives, and all his elders and friends had been emphasizing the extraordinary status that Li Hong held.

That was a genius cosmic-level powerhouse who once achieved a top 200,000 ranking in the Cosmic Kingdom during the Peak Power Battle.

At the beginning of his transmigration, Li Che himself did not think that his father's achievements were of much value.

It wasn't until later that Li Che finally changed his opinion about the results.

The format of the Peak Powerhouse Battle is similar to that of the Peak Genius Battle, except that it is open to cosmic-level powerhouses and is held approximately once every 50,000 years. The number of participants is not much less than that of the Peak Genius Battle, which is held once every 5,000 years.

For example, in the peak battle that Li Hong participated in, the total number of participants was about five billion. The preliminary rounds were divided into fifty world zones, and Li Hong's ranking in a certain world zone was around 4000.

Through a simple and crude conversion, Li Hong was packaged by the Empire as one of the top 200,000 universe-level powerhouses in the Qianwu Universe. From then on, his status was elevated, and he was regarded by the Rongbing Empire as an extremely outstanding seed of a world lord.

This ranking may seem ordinary, but if you distribute these top 200,000 people across the tens of thousands of star regions of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, you'll find that it's truly valuable.

It wasn't until he reached the planetary level and began to interact with the outside world that Li Che understood why his father held such a special position among the many cosmic-level powerhouses in the empire.

This is a figure of similar status to Nuolanshan during Luofeng's time.

After Li Che rose to prominence, his father, Li Hong, gradually gained the personal attention of the Rongbing Kingdom's ruler, who provided him with preferential resources for his intensive training.

By now, Li Hong has become a sixth-level Domain Lord in the past 50,000 years. His understanding of the fundamental laws of water has become increasingly profound, and he has become a relatively powerful Domain Lord within the Holy Land's Genius Camp.

"The selection mechanism for the Peak Genius Battle will first subject you to an exceptionally brutal and intense large-scale open selection. The Giant Axe Arena will select the 100,000 most outstanding participants from at least seven billion contestants in the Universe Nation. At that time, survival ability will be extremely crucial..."

When Li Che met his father again in the real universe, Li Hong was in a giant building in Rongbing Holy Land, explaining the preliminary selection rules of the Peak Genius Battle to a group of young people of the Hengxing level.

He certainly has the qualifications, after all, he is a master who has fought his way up in the battle of the strongest, and he has a lot of experience in melee combat, survival, and survival.

Below him was a group of over a thousand youngsters at the Hengxing level, who were looking at Li Hong, who was speaking eloquently on the high platform, with anticipation in their eyes for the peak genius battle.

Their composition is very complex. Some are geniuses from the two royal families of Rongbing and Qiyao, some are direct descendants of the two holy lands who have been nurtured since childhood, and some are even princes and princesses from the lesser civilized countries under the empire.

From the perspective of a moderately civilized nation, they are all geniuses of the Eternal Star level, at least talents who have mastered one level of a domain at the ninth level of the Eternal Star level, and in a sense, they have the potential to become domain lords.

Many of these young talents regard the Peak Genius Battle as a very important stepping stone in their lives.

After all, this is an excellent opportunity to showcase one's talents. Even if one fails to become one of the top 100,000 in the Cosmic Kingdom and advance to the second round, there is still a chance to be noticed and become an outer member of the five giants or join the Qianwu Secret Realm, which is directly under the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom.

Li Che had no intention of disturbing his father. He only showed up after Li Hong had finished his speech, which surprised the sixth-level domain lord.

"Li Che! My son! You're finally back!"

He let out a hearty laugh, his genetic force vibrating, and rushed to Li Che in a few steps, patting his offspring hard on the shoulder.

"Father!"

The power of a domain lord-level expert fell on him, but it had no effect on Li Che. He looked at his father in this life with a smile, and his eyes also revealed a bit of nostalgia.

His father had provided Li Che with a great deal of help in the first few decades of his life, both in terms of money, wealth, and connections, which greatly reduced the troubles Li Che faced in the early stages of his cultivation.

"I heard from the Divine Lord that you have achieved remarkable success on the battlefield beyond the realms, even qualifying you to stand shoulder to shoulder with an immortal deity like the Divine Lord. I am truly delighted!"

Li Hong stared at the complex law mark between Li Che's eyebrows, which was jet black and shimmering with silver light, before nodding after a moment.

He knew very well that the reason he was able to become a domain lord-level powerhouse so quickly and achieve his current status was largely due to Li Che's influence, so he paid close attention to Li Che's situation.

"Indeed, Father. At least within the Rongbing Star Region, my words still carry some weight." Li Che smiled, while transferring a large sum of cosmic coins into his father's bank account.

Li Che had a fairly good understanding of his father and mother in this life.

His mother was originally a noblewoman from a primitive civilization in the universe. Back then, she was only a ninth-level Heng-star. She used to be a low-level instructor at the Qianwu Dojo, responsible for teaching combat experience to some planetary-level little warriors.

After Li Hong and Li Che rose to prominence, Li Che's mother, with the support of resources, cultivated into a universe-level powerhouse. Now she is considered a junior instructor at the Qianwu Dojo. Although she has not yet mastered the domain, she is considered a core member of the Qianwu Dojo in this small place.

Although Li Che's father was once one of the top ten powerful universe-level experts in the Rongbing Empire, Li Che knew very well that his father was also a person who was easygoing and lacked ambition.

Otherwise, with Li Hong's qualifications, he could easily apply to become an external member of the five giants. In that case, he would have access to a considerable amount of resources, and his future prospects would be far greater than being a minor instructor in the divine kingdom of an immortal god.

"Father, do you think there's anyone in the Empire this year who could become one of the top 1,000 in the world rankings in the first round of the qualifiers?"

Li Che had no intention of interfering with his parents' choices. During their casual conversation, the father and son talked about the upcoming Peak Genius Battle. Li Che was clearly very interested in the top contenders for this year's battle in his own country.

He had never truly experienced the live performance of the ultimate genius battle in this life, so he had certain expectations for this top-level competition in the entire universe.

"Perhaps there is hope. Our empire has had good luck this time. A rather impressive young fellow has emerged from the Holy Land of Enlightenment. He is a descendant of the royal family of a nascent civilization. He has very high aptitude. Although he is only at the Hengxing level, he has almost mastered the eighth level of the domain. Moreover, he is a type that is very good at combat. If he is lucky, he has a real chance of achieving a top 1,000 ranking in the world."

Li Hong didn't mince words and casually pulled up the information of a ninth-level martial artist of the Hengxing rank to introduce him to Li Che.

"The Lord of Qiyao said that he hopes I can guide this little guy's cultivation..." Li Che nodded, remembering that before he came, the Lord of Qiyao had indeed instructed Li Che to take care of their divine kingdom's promising talents.

Since he had plenty of time, he simply had Li Hong summon that Hengxing-level little guy and personally teach him martial arts knowledge.

After careful consideration, Li Che decided to abandon everything else and focus on training his power amplitude generation techniques to help him further control his body before the Genius Battle began, thereby directly increasing his combat power by increasing the power multiplier.

This was indeed a huge surprise for that young, star-level martial artist, but for Li Che himself, it was just a matter of taking a few hours each month to give him some pointers.

Time flies, and more than three years of this uneventful and slow-paced life have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three years later, the Divine Lord Rongbing contacted Li Che through the virtual universe, inviting him to discuss the details of vying for the marquis-level immortal divine legacy.
