Chapter 403: The Selection, Begin!

“It’s here, finally started!”
“D*mn, 185.79 million participants, this is insane!”
“What’s the big deal? What’s even crazier is that the majority will be eliminated after four rounds of qualifiers, and there are only 10,000 slots for the main event!”
“Truly one in ten thousand. I wonder how many from our cosmic nation can make it to the main event?”
“An average of around 100. All cosmic nations have announced that there will be rewards for entering the main event! The higher the ranking, the better the rewards!”
Within the Taishi Starfield, the various cosmic nations were already buzzing.
The rules for the Supernova Prodigy Tournament were announced, and the preliminary selection took place in the virtual small world of the Infinite World of Slaughter.
Four rounds of qualifiers, progressively screening to enter the main event!
Only 10,000 slots were available!
In the small virtual world, real-time rankings were announced, keeping the hearts of the cosmic nations in suspense.
“Wow, the rewards are not bad,” Wang Ye remarked.
The top 100 get rewarded with 100 million dark crystals, 100,000 achievement points, and 10 plates of azure mountain soil.
The top 1000 get rewarded with 30 million dark crystals, 30,000 achievement points, and three plates of azure mountain soil.
The top 10,000 get rewarded with 10 million dark crystals, 10,000 achievement points, and a plate of azure mountain soil.
The rewards for the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation and the Red River Cosmic Nation were similar.
The only difference was that the Red River Cosmic Nation’s reward was the Red River’s water.
These were life-type treasures, beneficial for improving one’s life foundation, especially for practitioners with innate deficiencies.
Including achievement points, these were rewards that money couldn’t buy.
The dark crystal rewards were also quite generous. An ordinary basic Black Hole-level powerhouse usually only possessed a million dark crystals.
As long as they entered the main event, they could become rich overnight!
Especially the top 100 rewards, a whopping 100 million dark crystals, surpassing the wealth of most intermediate Black Hole level powerhouses!
This was the total wealth of many prominent families.
The Supernova Prodigy Tournament, for the various cosmic nations in the Taishi Starfield, was not only a showcase of talent but also an opportunity for universal geniuses.
It was also a competition of national strength, representing the face of the cosmic nations!
And this was just the qualifiers. If they entered the main event, the target would be the three spots in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition, with even more astonishing rewards!
“Unfortunately, the top 100 rewards are already at their peak,” Wang Ye remarked, looking at the three giants of the Taishi Starfield.
The Tianshi Cosmic Nation, Taiwu Cosmic Nation, and Jiumang Star Cosmic Nation, all three were aiming for first place!
Although there was no substantial difference between first place and io,oooth place, both could enter the main event.
But this was an embodiment of strength, the might of the great cosmic nations!
The Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation looked rather feeble.
“Maybe the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation didn’t even expect any participants to enter the top 100.” Wang Ye smiled.
After all, out of the 105 cosmic nations in the Taishi Starfield, the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation was only ranked 79th.
Even if a cosmic nation obtained a spot, it might not even get to the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.
Not to mention the cosmic nation ranked at the top, which would likely secure many of the top 100 spots.
On this point, the Red River Cosmic Nation shared the same sentiments.
[Self-awareness]
“There are many experienced participants in this competition. Many have participated in the genius selection battle before, so they are relatively familiar with the Infinite World of Slaughter and the competition system.”
“I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to break into the top ten.”
“But breaking into the top 100 shouldn’t be a problem.”
After reading the audition rules, Wang Ye had a general understanding.
The qualifiers were more of a process of sifting through the sand. Although the difficulty wasn’t low, it wouldn’t be too high either. At least 10,000 contestants could enter.
With his strength, he could easily pass through. But there were certainly many places in the Taishi Starfield that could also easily qualify.
At this time, the experience of participating in the competition would play a role.
Of course, for the seven supreme factions, the qualifier rankings were not important.
What they pursued was undoubtedly the absolute combat strength of the participants themselves!
10.
9-
8.
The countdown at the entrance of the pathway entered its final seconds.
Wang Ye stood at the entrance of the virtual world of Taishi Starfield in the Infinite World of Slaughter.
He looked at the door with delicate patterns, shimmering with crystal light.
As the countdown slowly reached its end, the light disappeared, and the door opened.
Wang Ye calmly stepped in.
At this moment, 185.79 million contestants, similar to Wang Ye, entered Taishi Starfield’s exclusive entrance simultaneously, excited and eagerly anticipating the start of the first round of auditions!
On Taishi Starfield’s largest starfield network, Taishi Star Network.
It directly projected the current rankings and advancement quotas of Taishi Starfield in the Infinite World of Slaughter.
With only 10,000 vacant spots on the leaderboard, everyone felt breathless, their focus intense!
The fiercest competition!
These 10,000 vacancies weren’t just for advancing to the main competition.
They represented the most potential and top combat prowess super-star-level warriors in Taishi Starfield!
[First round of auditions.]
[Passed three potential tests.]
[Highest individual score: 10,000.]
[The sum of the three must reach 6,000 for clearance.]
The rules of the first round appeared before Wang Ye’s eyes.
He instantly grasped it.
Indeed, the auditions were fast, precise, and ruthless, first screening out a large batch of contestants who didn’t meet the basic standards.
So, the average standard value for each potential test is 2,000 points.”
“Scoring 3,000 points in a single category is almost considered elite in the starfield.”
“It’s somewhat similar to the assessment scores of the Supreme Human Academy.”
Though the participants were mostly Super Star level powerhouses with considerable strength, the competition was still a mix of the good and the not-so-good.
For the two supreme forces, Primordial Star and Infinite World of Slaughter, the data from the potential tests held significant value.
While casting a wide net, they aimed to catch even the one-in-a-billion chance of escaping, ensuring no cosmic top genius slipped through.
He pushed open the first golden door before him.
[Basic Test]
Wang Ye understood.
A similar test existed in the main virtual world.
The basics encompassed both innate and acquired aspects.
Physical body, soul, vitality, birth, bloodline, talent, and various other factors.
This was the foundation of both cultivation and combat prowess.
The moment he stepped in, a golden light fell on his body. His body felt as though it were being held in place, and even his soul was bound.
Golden light particles permeated his body, examining every part with utmost precision.
“In this aspect, I’m relatively average.” Wang Ye acknowledged.
His innate talents were indeed somewhat lacking.
Compared to humans born on intermediate life planets such as five-star and six-star, he fell behind.
Although significant improvements had been made, especially when compared to humans with innately perfect genes, there was still room for enhancement.
However, now the comparison was against the genius Super Star level of the entire Taishi Starfield!
Among them were even those born on legendary ten-star life planets!
Not just innate perfection but innate completeness!”
The starting line was too high.
Not to mention, after birth, people ran on their feet, while they ran cosmic ships…
One top-notch treasure after another, and piles of resources for cultivation.
In this aspect, he indeed couldn’t catch up with the foundation.
However, in other aspects, it wasn’t necessarily the case.
Soon, the basic test entered its final phase.
Golden light particles left his body, and the oppressive feeling around him vanished instantly. Wang Ye felt relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Stepping into the starfield, the exit was right in front of him.
Swoosh…
Wang Ye walked through the door.
Layers of golden light gathered, transforming into clear words that fell before his eyes.
[Base score: 3650]
“Eh, not bad.”
Wang Ye was quite satisfied.
A bit higher than expected.
In areas that weren’t his strong suit, this score was acceptable.
It should be the foundation of the physical body, and the points added from top-rank bloodline treasure hunting.” Wang Ye walked forward.
Looking at the familiar staircase in front of him, he smiled knowingly.
Willpower Stairway.
The Primordial Star and Infinite World of Slaughter were quite lazy.
They directly brought the human virtual cosmic’s Willpower Stairway here.
However, it seemed that there was no better means of testing willpower than the Willpower Stairway.
He stepped onto the stairs.
It felt like walking on flat ground.
Previously, he had already reached the 13th level of the Cosmic Lifeform.
Now, he could easily cross the standard line of the 30th level of the Super Star level without feeling any pressure at all.
50,60,70…
From the 80th floor onwards, the pressure gradually increased.
From the 90th floor onwards, Wang Ye started to take it seriously.
He could see the 100th level of stairs above him, filled with devouring power, like a mini black hole.
Stomp!
Level 100!
The willpower standard of a Black Hole level powerhouse!
Wang Ye didn’t stop. He continued to climb up, heading straight to the 150th level, the threshold of the willpower of a mid-tier Black Hole-level powerhouse.
The pressure increased!
Layers of shackles bound his entire body, like heavy restraints.
Especially after reaching the 130th level, the intense pressure felt like countless black holes devouring his will.
Every level was extremely challenging.
But overcoming it meant a new beginning!
The 150th floor!
Wang Ye had reached his limit.
Finally, it ended on the 153rd floor.
Light flashed in front of him, gathering into a transparent light, and condensing into words with golden edges.
[Willpower Rating: 5770]
It was close to 6000 points!
It was considered quite impressive among the Super Star level experts in Taishi Starfield.
It was the exact opposite of the basic score. They were Super Star level powerhouses who did not come from a high-life planet and had a low starting line.
In the willpower test, the average performance would be better.
“It’s decent. It’s at the standard of an intermediate Black Hole level.” Wang Ye smiled.
Willpower was his strength, and it was still formidable.
When he breaks through to the Black Hole level, he believes that his willpower will reach the 300th level of the willpower ladder, surpassing the standard of an Undying Lifeform.
“Total score: 9420.”
Wang Ye opened the last black and white door that seemed to fuse.
His Path!
Comprehension of the four Great Paths of the Universe.
“Finally, it’s my forte.” Wang Ye relaxed.
After all, he had already passed the first round of auditions.
The existence of path already existed at the Super Star level
Even if every Super Star level expert hadn’t truly walked out of their path and constructed their internal world, they already had the embryonic form of their path and knew what their future path was.
This path was the path to pass through the black hole and transcend reincarnation!
Matter, energy, space, time…
Endless energy descended, and layers of light enveloped Wang Ye. He felt his internal world tremble slightly.
The human virtual cosmic was truly powerful.
It was worthy of being the supreme power of mankind.
His internal world, beyond the low-dimensional cosmic, could not escape the detection of the virtual universe.
His score for the last test would be very high.
This was because not only had he walked out of the path of the Super Star level, but he had also completely presented the path of the Super Star level.
Perfect-grade, top-rank internal world!
Swoosh…
The test ended, and a golden light gathered in front of him.
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
[Great Path score: 8180!]
