Immortal Gathering

Twenty-six years after Li Che met Venerable Luan Mo, this year's Universe Peak Genius Battle was officially announced!

For those apprentice-level, planetary-level, and celestial-level powerhouses, this was an incredibly exciting event. After all, such a top-level competition involved the entire human territory of 1008 universe nations, making it extremely large in scale and offering truly astonishing rewards.

It's important to know that those who successfully achieve a top ranking in the Peak Genius Battle can directly join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company or the Giant Axe Arena, and may even receive a free opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment. These are things that ordinary star-level beings simply cannot imagine.

Those lesser geniuses, even if they are not destined to join the core of the two major powers, can still gain the attention of the local cosmic nation and receive unimaginable training resources as long as they perform well enough.

Further down, even geniuses not valued by the secret realms of the universe may be noticed by some mid-level civilized nations or wild immortal gods and realm lords, and recruited into their ranks, thus soaring to great heights.

In summary, the Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses has never been merely a means for the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena to siphon off the top geniuses from the human realm; rather, it is a top-down selection process for the best talents of this era.

Therefore, whenever the Battle of the Peak Geniuses is held, the official authorities of countries like the 1008 Universe Kingdom and the Middle Civilization Kingdom will send special personnel to keep an eye on those outstanding talents, unwilling to miss such an opportunity to strengthen their own power.

Correspondingly, those little guys at the Eternal Star level will spare no effort to showcase their talents on the stage of the Genius Battle, hoping to be noticed by some powerful beings.

This was the first time Li Che had observed the Genius Battle in such detail.

On the day the Genius Battle began, when his consciousness connected to the virtual universe, he found a large group of Eternal Star level little guys standing solemnly inside the virtual castle belonging to the Rongbing Holy Land. They were heading to the war space in the virtual universe specially opened up for the Genius Battle under the call of a World Lord recognized by the Origin Law.

Li Che did not disturb the little ones.

He walked leisurely out of the virtual castle with his hands behind his back, strolling along the wide streets of Rongbing Island.

You can hear that the vast majority of interstellar citizens on the road are discussing information about the battle of the ultimate geniuses.

Li Che even saw that in a virtual villa in the distance, a fifth-level domain lord "patriarch" was giving a speech to more than a hundred star-level interstellar warriors, encouraging them to achieve good results in the genius battle.

It can only be said that the threshold for the Peak Genius Battle is too low, so low that any Hengxing with a bit of strength is willing to fight on the battlefield of the Peak Genius Battle.

Of course, the vast majority of the star-level kids simply cannot survive the first large-scale preliminary round of the Peak Genius Battle.

"Beep beep!"

Just as Li Che was sighing, Bai Yue, the intelligent assistant with a human body and snake tail on her shoulder, suddenly had a glint in her eyes, and then spoke softly.

"Sir, Lord Yanpo invites you to the Rongbing branch of the Giant Axe Arena, where there will be a small gathering of immortal gods within the Giant Axe Arena."

Upon hearing this, Li Che didn't hesitate much and immediately used the paid teleportation function of the virtual universe to go to the location mentioned by the Flame Soul Army Lord.

When he arrived at a magnificent manor inside the Rongbing branch of the Giant Axe Arena, he saw seven or eight thrones, each the size of a small mountain, standing in the vast hall. Each throne was surrounded by the aura of laws, some burning with raging red flames, and others surging with violent lightning.

Undoubtedly, each throne belongs to an immortal god-level being who has fully mastered some kind of lower-level law.

"The Lord of the Ruins Realm has arrived!"

"Brother Li, welcome!"

"Our little gathering hasn't had any new members in a long time!"

······

Upon seeing that it was Li Che who had come, all the immortal gods turned around, each one of them being very warm and friendly.

"Hello, Lord Yanpo, Lord Ranting, Lord Baihuo..." Li Che greeted these immortal lords with a smile.

Over the years, although Li Che has never officially joined the Giant Axe Arena, the Flame Soul Army Lord has completely regarded him as an internal member of the Giant Axe Arena.

After all, Li Che had been personally received by a great cosmic venerable from the fighting arena, and he would almost certainly become a core member of their side in the future.

In the past two decades, Li Che has met with the immortal gods in charge of the giant axe arena branches in more than a dozen nearby star regions.

Facing these immortal military lords, Li Che naturally showed no courtesy. He casually picked an empty immortal throne and sat down directly on it.

"boom!"

The moment he sat down, the immense power of the laws emanating from his body immediately affected the throne beneath him. A profound, weighty, and expansive power of the laws rippled out, causing the expressions of the other immortal gods present to change slightly.

Clearly, Li Che, this minor realm lord, has a deeper understanding of the fundamental laws than all the immortal military lords present.

This made the immortal military lords present sigh inwardly.

As expected of a genius realm lord valued by the great cosmic venerable one, they, the immortal military lords who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of epochs, are no match for him at all.

"You all truly possess extraordinary skills, having witnessed the entire battle of geniuses live!"

Li Che paid no attention to these gazes. His attention was drawn to a row of huge screens in front of the throne, which displayed a hundred completely different scenes, representing a total of one hundred world zones in the preliminary rounds of the Peak Genius Battle.

"Hahaha! It's just some basic permissions!"

"Over the years, we've made it a habit to gather together whenever the arena hosts a battle of geniuses or a battle of the strongest, to see how the current generation of geniuses performs!"

"Of course, occasionally we will also recruit the lesser geniuses who are not selected from the core layer of the arena and the Qianwu Secret Realm into the outer perimeter of the arena."

Upon hearing this, the immortal military lords of the Giant Axe Arena offered their explanations one by one.

They are the heads of the Giant Axe Arena in the surrounding star fields, and they bear the mission of recruiting talents for the arena. Watching the Genius Battle is also a process of screening young geniuses for these immortals.

Of course, for these immortal beings who have lived for so long, the battle of the ultimate geniuses is also a good way to pass the time.

After all, immortal gods are already eternal and great beings in the eyes of lower-level interstellar citizens, and the peak genius battles that planetary-level citizens may never encounter in their lifetime are actually held quite frequently for them.

"In this battle of the ultimate geniuses, our Qianwu division has a total of 8100 billion participants. I wonder how many of them can directly join the core layer of the arena." The immortal gods chatted casually.

Li Che leaned back on his majestic throne, chatting with these immortal military lords while casually selecting a world zone to observe the battle unfolding there.
