Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Anticipation
Above the immensely grand palace, a colossal face looked down upon the many Deities below.
"Yangyuan Emperor!"
All the Deities spoke with the utmost respect.
"The Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall genius selection has begun. The first trial requires passing the thousand steps of the Divine Road. I hope all the geniuses we have cultivated are able to pass."
A rumbling voice echoed, causing the air to tremble as a wave of pressure spread between heaven and earth.
In the face of this pressure, not a single Deity could even think of resisting.
Above the Divine Realm were existences beyond imagination! They could obliterate Deities with a mere wave of their hand.
"Yes, Emperor!"
All the Deities nodded.
At this moment, they also completely understood the Yangyuan Emperor’s previous intentions.
’No wonder the Emperor recruited one hundred thousand geniuses. It was all in preparation for the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall genius selection.’
Thinking of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, their hearts filled with even greater awe.
This was a power even more terrifying than the Yangyuan Empire! It was a truly top-tier power of the Human Race! Along with the Hunyuan Martial Saint Realm, it ruled over the Human Race’s Three Thousand Star Continent!
"Mm, you may go."
The Yangyuan Emperor dismissed all the Deities.
Inside the vast palace, the Yangyuan Emperor thought to himself.
’One hundred thousand geniuses... there won’t be any omissions. If anyone is to enter the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, they will surely come from my Yangyuan Empire.’
The Yangyuan Emperor thought to himself.
The most powerful group of geniuses in the entire Yangyuan Star Continent was within his domain.
He had made a mistake once before. This time, he absolutely would not make another.
...
"So many people have registered."
Li Yang looked at his ranking and watched the total number of registrants change rapidly. At this moment, the total number of registrants had already reached over eight hundred billion!
And now, with every passing second, the total number of registrants was still constantly increasing.
"Of course."
Soul Ink said calmly, "Li Yang, your Earth is too weak. Only you and Shen Xuan have broken through to the Law Realm. In truth, on many planets, the strongest are Star Lords, or even World Masters. Those planets have many people in the Law Realm. Even if we just consider the three hundred thousand-odd planets in your Milky Way, if each planet had ten Law Realm experts, that would still be over three million Law Realm experts!"
"The Golden Moon Empire that rules your Milky Way has a thousand star systems, which adds up to over three billion Law Realm experts!"
"And in the entire Yangyuan Star Continent, there are at least one hundred thousand Deity-level powers like the Golden Moon Empire. By that count, the total number of people would be three hundred trillion! Of course, that’s a conservative estimate. The actual number of registrants far exceeds three hundred trillion. It would be normal for it to be ten times that."
’Ten times that... that’s three quadrillion...’
Li Yang was stunned when he heard this number.
Earth only had a few billion people. Compared to three quadrillion, it was just a rounding error.
The thought of competing with so many people made Li Yang even more excited and full of anticipation.
...
Registration for the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall was open for seven days, and the selection would begin three days after it closed.
All the registered geniuses were waiting with immense anticipation.
「In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.」
In the Yuanlan Clan, Yuan Lan looked at Celestial Net before him, a faint smile on his face. "Celestial Net, your Talent is very strong. From what I understand, with your current strength, you can rank around 300th in our Yangyuan Star Continent."
In the Yangyuan Star Continent, with its hundreds of millions of star systems, for Celestial Net to be ranked in the top three hundred showed just how powerful his Talent was.
"However, a ranking like that makes it very difficult to enter the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall."
Celestial Net clenched his fists. His Talent was considered top-tier in the Yangyuan Empire, but when compared to the entire Human Race, it was nothing special.
Across the Human Race’s Three Thousand Star Continent, if you took the number one genius from each Star Continent, you would have three thousand people.
Even if he ranked in the top three of the Yangyuan Star Continent, his rank would drop to the hundreds of thousands when placed against the entire Human Race.
And the Eternal Saint Hall would not possibly recruit hundreds of thousands of geniuses.
"However, this Divine Road is your chance!"
Yuan Lan said directly, "Five years is a long time. A lot can change. It’s not like you have no hope of getting in."
Hearing this, Celestial Net said with determination, "Patriarch, I will do my best to be accepted by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall."
’The Eternal Saint Hall...’
His eyes were filled with longing.
At this moment, he had completely put aside all thoughts of Earth and the Dragon Scale Insects.
As long as he could enter the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, nothing else mattered.
...
In the Golden Moon Empire, Divine Golden Moon looked at the Lentz before him.
"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor!" Lentz said with extreme respect.
Ten days had passed, and the Saint Hall’s genius selection was about to begin.
"Lentz, with your strength, it won’t be difficult to pass the thousandth step of the Divine Road. You can clear the first trial with ease. But passing the second trial will be very difficult."
Hearing what Divine Golden Moon said, Lentz remained silent, but a clear trace of unwillingness flickered in his eyes.
However, he was also aware of his own Talent.
He had only managed to join the previous Yangyuan Empire genius selection with great difficulty. If the Yangyuan Empire hadn’t suddenly recruited one hundred thousand geniuses, he wouldn’t have had a chance.
If it was that hard just to join the Yangyuan Empire, joining the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall was on another level entirely.
Divine Golden Moon looked at Lentz and said, "But nothing is absolute. In the first round of the selection, if your rank can enter the top ten thousand in the Yangyuan Star Continent, I can guarantee that the Golden Moon Empire will be yours to control in the future!"
A trace of expectation appeared in Divine Golden Moon’s eyes. Across the entire Yangyuan Star Continent, there were over a hundred thousand Deity-level powers like their Golden Moon Empire!
And every year, the Golden Moon Empire’s strength was basically at the bottom of the barrel!
Right now, the Golden Moon Empire’s strongest genius was Lentz, and as for his strength, he was ranked right around one hundred thousandth place—also at the bottom.
As a Deity-level power, what they competed on against other Deities was the potential of their own star systems. Who would feel good about always being at the bottom?
He, Divine Golden Moon, was a very prideful person, yet on the matter of geniuses, he had never been able to hold his head high in front of the other Deities.
Just a moment ago, Lentz’s heart had been full of frustration, but hearing Divine Golden Moon’s words, he immediately grew excited.
"Ancestor, I will do everything in my power to rank within the top ten thousand of the Yangyuan Star Continent!"
’The Emperor of the Golden Moon Empire...’
Lentz knew that with his Talent, it was almost impossible for him to become a Deity. Therefore, controlling the entire Golden Moon Empire had become his greatest ambition!
Although he held a significant advantage, there were still several other heirs to the Golden Moon Empire. He held an eighty percent advantage at most, while his older brother, Lunba Wu, held a little over ten percent.
Although he completely outclassed Lunba Wu, until the very end, no one knew who the final victor would be.
But now, Divine Golden Moon had personally promised that as long as he ranked in the top ten thousand of the Yangyuan Star Continent, he would become the future Controller of the Golden Moon Empire!
Divine Golden Moon was the sole pillar and backer of the Golden Moon Empire. With a single word, he could even depose the Emperor of the Golden Moon Empire, and no one would dare to feel dissatisfied.
"Mm, you are dismissed." Divine Golden Moon said no more and had Lentz leave.
With excitement still in his eyes, Lentz left the great mountain range where Divine Golden Moon resided.
Just as he flew out, a young man flew towards him, laughing heartily. "Haha, Lentz, from the looks of it, you must have gained quite a lot from your time with the Ancestor these past few days. It seems you’ll be able to achieve a good rank in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall genius selection this time."
Seeing this young man, the smile on Lentz’s face instantly faded a little.
The young man before him was none other than his "dear" older brother, his greatest competitor to become the Controller of the Golden Moon Empire: Lunba Wu.
"It was alright."
Lentz said flatly, then turned and left without another word.
Watching his departing figure, Lunba Wu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’Hmph! So you think you’re all high and mighty because of your Talent, looking down on the rest of us? Lentz, my dear little brother, I’ll just wait and see how far you can get in this genius selection,’ Lunba Wu snorted coldly in his heart.
He felt extreme disgust for Lentz.
