“The second round finally began!”
“We’ve been waiting for so long! I wonder what the rules of the second round will be. They won’t climb the stairway to heaven again, will they?”
“I don’t know. The points haven’t been reset yet, so it’ll probably continue into the second round. The super-geniuses of the eternal nation are all holding their breath, eager to prove themselves!”
“Of course, the starfield empire monopolized the top two spots on the Cosmic Stairway Board. I’ve watched so many genius selection events, but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this! Those useless guys from eternal nation are driving me crazy!”
“What’s even more ridiculous is that there’s a guy from a cosmic nation who managed to squeeze into the top 100. Can you believe it? If those super geniuses from Eternal Nation don’t step up in the second round, they’ll become a laughingstock!”
“We have to knock Piao Baibai and Wen Rou out of the top two spots! And push Wang Ye, who’s ranked 100th, down too!”
In the human virtual cosmic, it was bustling with excitement.
Cosmic humans gathered, eagerly awaiting the start of the second round of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament.
This was especially true for the cosmic citizens of the ten eternal nations. Just like their prodigious youths, they couldn’t wait any longer.
The results of the first round left them extremely dissatisfied.
The ten eternal nations, the rulers of the human cosmic, were being overshadowed by the starfield empire. What a disgrace!
And to think that even cosmic nations were trying to climb up and challenge them!
It was too embarrassing!
Who could bear it?
In the second round, they had to prove themselves!
In the human cosmic, the strongest should be the eternal nations!
In the Dongheng Eternal Nation.
In the grandiose palace, the Dongheng Emperor’s colossal figure was enveloped in golden light, exuding an imposing aura fit for royalty.
The potent willpower of the High Dimension Lord permeated the entire national palace with formidable pressure.
Below him, Dongse Ziyu, Calomon, Dong Baiying, Nong Bi, Dong Yongcheng, and other genius talents knelt with reverence, their faces showing deference.
All of them were top 100 experts from the first round of the Cosmic Stairway Board.
As one of the top three powers of the ten eternal nations, Dongheng Eternal Nation’s performance in the first round was rather average.
Only ten made it to the top too, which was rather lackluster.
Even Dongheng Wanyi, who was highly anticipated, only achieved third place, leaving the Dongheng Emperor somewhat displeased.
“The second round is about to commence. As representatives of Dongheng Eternal Nation, you cannot afford to falter!” The Dongheng Emperor’s gaze swept across the palace, his voice resounding with authority.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The prodigious youths replied in unison, their morale soaring.
“Especially you, Ziyu!” The Dongheng Emperor continued, “After the second round, you must break into the top ten of the Cosmic Stairway Board. Do not disappoint me.”
“Ziyu understands.” Dongse Ziyu, clad in purple armor with a longsword strapped to her back, exuded an aura of determination. Her eyes were sharp, and her proud face bore a determined expression, much like her sword intent.
As the sole participant among the top ten in Dongheng Eternal Nation’s Supernova Prodigy Tournament, she bore a heavy burden.
For the sake of this competition, she even turned down recruitment offers from the Cosmic Bank.
However, in the first round of the competition, she did not perform as well as she had hoped. They only managed to get 13th place and were blocked out of the top ten.
As proud as she was, she naturally could not accept this outcome.
Dongse Ziyu’s gaze fell on Dongheng Wanyi, who was wearing a dragon robe beside the emperor. Her eyes were filled with battle intent.
She would not lose in the second round!
The nine of them retreated.
In the huge palace, only the Dongheng Emperor and Dongheng Wanyi were left.
“Imperial Father, you’ve put so much pressure on them. What if they don’t perform well?” Dongheng Wanyi said.
“Do you think that the proud son of the Dongheng Eternal Kingdom is such a good-for-nothing who can’t withstand the pressure?” The Dongheng Emperor snorted and looked at his son.
“Imperial Father, are you trying to frame me?” Dongheng Wanyi smiled bitterly.
The Dongheng Emperor looked at him. “You’re a peak Dongheng expert, yet you couldn’t even pass the 36th level of the Cosmic Stairway Board. I feel ashamed for you.”
Dongheng Wanyi was speechless. “I haven’t adapted to my new body yet.”
“Quite a lot of reasons.” The Dongheng Emperor said.
“This…Previously, it was only 99.9% compatible.” Dongheng Wanyi avoided his gaze.
“What about now?” The Dongheng Emperor chuckled.
“99.99%.” Dongheng Wanyi felt guilty.
“Get lost.”
The Yunzhou Eternal Nation.
Above the clouds, Xian Yuyan, dressed in white, opened her clear and cold eyes, making her beautiful face resemble the most exquisite painting in the world.
“How was your harvest?” A peaceful voice emanated from the void.
“I’ve gained a lot.” Xian Yuyan stood up slowly, as graceful as a celestial being.
“Your journey has been too smooth. A little more defeat might be a good thing for you,” the voice from the depths of the clouds said leisurely.
“I understand.” Xian Yuyan bowed.
“Go, don’t forget your heart,” the voice from the clouds said softly.
“Yes, teacher.” Xian Yuyan bowed and departed.
The Darksun Eternal Nation.
“Ahhhhh!” In the perilous land shrouded in endless dark energy, Chi Xuan, bare-chested, roared madly. His veins bulged, and his body was filled with a raging willpower and fighting spirit.
Origin power surged within him as his fist intent exploded.
In the void, a furious cosmic beast monster appeared, mirroring the violent bloodline within Chi Xuan.
Fighting on the battlefield, going berserk in illusions, battling in treacherous terrain!
Chi Xuan was like a beast bursting with overflowing battle intent, unyielding, with madness burning in his blood.
He had grown stronger once again!
Being fifth on the Cosmic Stairway Board was far from enough to satisfy him.
“First place! I want first place!”
“No one can stop me from reaching the top!”
“I, Chi Xuan, am the strongest among the Supernova Prodigy Tournament!”
“Roar!
II
In the Weixin Eternal Nation.
Similar to the Dongheng Eternal Nation, it was ranked in the top three among the ten eternal nations.
The geniuses of the Weixin Eternal Nation were extremely talented, with willpower superior to others.
This was the most outstanding performance among the ten eternal nations.
Fifteen contestants had made it into the top 100 of the Cosmic Stairway Board, the highest number among the ten eternal nations.
Especially Jiu Gedi, ranked seventh, Hui Zhi, ranked twelfth, Qiguan Xian’ai, ranked eighteenth, and Qifeng Zhenqing, ranked twenty-third. They all performed remarkably well.
The only regret was the absence of geniuses who could display their powerful abilities prominently.
“Just like the first round, treat it normally.”
“The ranking is only temporary. As long as you maintain your position in the top hundred, you will be able to enter the seven supreme forces.”
“There’s no need to care about the conflict between the starfield empire and the eternal nations. Do your best and leave no regrets.”
“Everything should be done with the heart.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Honghe Planet.
Wangling Villa.
Wang Ye entered the human virtual cosmic.
After verifying his identity, he entered the human virtual cosmic.
In the cyberpunk-style technology hall, there were dazzling lights and a fluorescent screen. At this moment, tens of thousands of participants had gathered.
They were the 100,000 people who had advanced in the first round!
Groups of three to five discussed the rules of the second round.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Many pairs of eyes looked over. Wang Ye’s arrival instantly became the target of everyone.
After the first round, the chosen ones of the eternal nations had three enemies.
Piao Baibai, Wen Rou, and…
Wang Ye.
Among them, Wang Ye was the most coveted.
Not only because he came from the smallest cosmic nation, but also because his ranking of 100 made people feel unconvinced.
Many of the geniuses of the eternal nations, couldn’t afford to offend someone who could open a path to the challenging space, and they couldn’t afford to offend Piao Baibai, who could reach the top of the Cosmic Stairway Tower.
However, they were still confident that they could defeat Wang Ye, who had performed mediocrely in the Cosmic Stairway Tower and the challenge space!
If the second round was the challenger league, they would undoubtedly choose Wang Ye!
“They all want to challenge the weakest one.” Wang Ye smiled.
That’s right, his ranking points were mostly obtained from hunting.
6 million points were a little too much.
With just a little bit, he would be out of the 1000.
With a little more, he would be ranked below 10,000.
But that was before.
After cultivating for three years, his strength had greatly improved. He was ranked too now!
If anyone overestimated themselves, then come.
He had never been afraid.
It was hard to say who would be the weakest one!
Wang Ye’s gaze swept across the group of experts and saw the seemingly weak Piao Baibai. He couldn’t help but admire her.
Being able to get first place was indeed extraordinary.
After achieving such an excellent result in the first round, he has been pushing forward for the past three years!
Looking at his appearance, it is evident that he hasn’t stopped for the past three years, always bravely striving for the peak!
He indeed exudes a strong sense of masculinity!
His gaze then fell on Wen Rou, who had left him with unforgettable memories.
She emitted a solemn and murderous aura, making her seem cold and isolated, with no one daring to approach her.
It was just so impressive!
She was indeed very feminine!
He then swept his gaze across the experts of the eternal nations.
Wang Ye saw Xian Yuyan, who was beautiful like a celestial, unaffected by worldly affairs.
Her appearance and physique were top-notch, making her Xi Yan’s dream lover, Qiguan Xian’ai.
The petite, lovely, and extraordinarily talented Qing Yu.
However, what attracted him the most was Ji Mengni from the Eternal Dream Nation.
Her youthful face was particularly captivating, reminiscent of first love, stirring deep desires in the heart.
Her lips were a seductive peach pink, her figure delicate and well-proportioned. While lacking in coquetry and sexiness, she perfectly embodied feminine charm.
Truly worthy of being one of the ten eternal nations!
Geniuses abound!
“Pa!” The lights instantly dimmed.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Only the huge fluorescent screen in front remained, shining brightly.
Suddenly, the rankings of the Cosmic Stairway Board appeared.
From 1 to 100,000, listed row by row.
The light illuminated the face of each contestant, and the hall fell into a profound silence. Everyone held their breath, staring at the large screen.
Swoosh!
The screen changed again!
It split into two!
On the left, the symbol of the Infinite World of Slaughter appeared.
The passage opened instantly!
On the right, the totem of the Primordial Star appeared.
The second passage opened!
Everyone looked around with intense anticipation.
Wang Ye fixed his gaze on the glittering fluorescent screen in the middle as bold words appeared!
The second round was the selection of the world competition!
Officially begins!
