"Indeed not."
Lin Hao shook his head.
"I guarantee it will open your eyes."
Cang Lei then gave the order, "Activate 100% outdoor scene simulation!"
In an instant, the walls of the entire hall "disappeared," and a magnificent starry sky appeared all around.
Looking out into the depths of the starry sky, an unimaginably vast supercontinent floats in the universe!
Hiss—Lin Hao subconsciously took a deep breath.
Even though I had heard about it beforehand, the shock I felt upon seeing it with my own eyes was indescribable.
A piece of land floating in the cosmos! This is the headquarters of Virtual Universe Corporation.
Around this vast continent, several stars and planets orbiting it appear as insignificant as dust in comparison.
"How was it, junior brother? What do you think of the atmosphere at the company headquarters?"
Cang Lei asked.
"Absolutely stunning!"
Lin Hao sighed in genuine amazement, then asked curiously, "Just how big is this continent?"
"How big?"
Cang Lei shook his head. "I'm not too sure about the exact number, but the diameter should be around several tens of light-years."
Despite being able to see the vast landmass in the distant starry sky with the naked eye, the F-class spaceship, traveling at near the speed of light, still took more than ten hours to reach one of the headquarters' entrances.
Whoosh! The hatch opened.
Lin Hao, Janet, Cang Lei, and the guards flew out of the spaceship one by one.
More than ten uniformed staff members were already waiting at the entrance.
The leader stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness Lin Hao, Your Highness Janet, we are here to greet you on His Excellency's orders. Please follow us."
"it is good."
Lin Hao nodded, then turned to Cang Lei and the guards and said solemnly, "Senior Brother Cang Lei, everyone, thank you for escorting us all the way."
Cang Lei grinned: "Junior Brother, you're too kind. If Qinia's cultivation level weren't too low, this good job wouldn't have come my way."
Led by staff, Lin Hao and Janet strolled through a dreamlike corridor.
Before long, they were led into an oval-shaped hall.
The ceiling and sides of the hall are completely transparent, and you can see the vast starry sky when you look up.
A number of people had already gathered in the hall; they were all members of the top 1000 in this year's Genius Battle.
This is the first time everyone has met in real life.
Ai Chen and Qian Shui immediately rushed towards him.
With his arms filled with the warmth and softness of the two women, their enthusiasm attracted many curious glances.
Besides Long Yun, who imitated Bolan's style and remained aloof, several companions from the Taichu District also gathered around, naturally forming a small circle.
About six hours later, all 1000 geniuses had arrived.
"Everyone, please come with me."
A tall, thin man with red eyes and sharp eyes, dressed in an elegant white robe, walked over, his voice slightly hoarse.
The aura emanating from him sent shivers down the spines of all the geniuses; he was yet another formidable figure.
The red-eyed man led the group out of the hall, and an irresistible, immense force instantly enveloped the thousand young people.
Whoosh!
The group followed the red-eyed man, who transformed into a streak of light and instantly flew away.
A few minutes later, they landed on a lawn where a strange spaceship was parked in front of them.
The red-eyed man then withdrew the power of the envelope.
call!
Many geniuses breathed a sigh of relief; that oppressive feeling of being unable to control themselves was indeed unbearable.
Lin Hao remained calm; although the power was vast, its essence remained unchanged.
"Get on the spaceship."
The red-eyed man said coldly. All eyes turned to the strange spaceship before them: it resembled a giant, dark blue fish, nearly a thousand meters long, its tail even swaying gently, as if it were alive!
Only the opening hatch on its abdomen and the internal corridor prove its nature as a spaceship.
"A G-class biological spaceship!"
Many geniuses exclaimed in surprise, as only a few had ever seen such a spaceship.
Urged on by the red-eyed man, everyone entered the spaceship one by one.
Walking through the metal passageway, the interior facilities were no different from those of an ordinary spaceship, which sparked discussion: "The inside is quite ordinary, so why is the outside designed to look like a fish?"
Soon, the crowd arrived at the central hall of the spaceship.
An invisible aura of authority filled the hall, instantly silencing the geniuses who were conversing.
More than a dozen immortals were already waiting here, including the red-eyed man.
Standing before the crowd was the Nine Swords Venerable, clad in a blue battle robe and with purple scales covering his face.
He stood there, yet he gave off an unreal, surreal feeling.
The Nine Swords Venerable's gaze swept over the 1000 geniuses, pausing almost imperceptibly on Lin Hao: "Let's go, destination: the Initial Universe!"
Boom!
The spaceship's tail fin, resembling a giant fish, flicked and vanished from its spot in an instant.
……
The spaceship sped along, heading towards an unknown territory.
Inside the spaceship.
"Ok?"
Something feels off…
“It’s so uncomfortable…”
The young geniuses turned pale and felt extremely uncomfortable.
They tried to open their eyes, but couldn't see their surroundings clearly; time and space seemed to be distorted and disordered.
Lin Hao closed his eyes and pretended to be slightly uncomfortable, but in reality he was focused on sensing the chaotic and distorted spacetime around him.
"This feeling... the flow of time has been disrupted..."
He quickly focused his mind and concentrated on experiencing it.
"We are now in the passage from the original universe to the initial universe."
The Nine Swords Venerable explained to the group of young people who were not in good condition, "The time flow rates of the two universes are different, and the time flow rate in the passage is disordered, which causes discomfort."
At this time, only about three hundred people were still able to stand.
Five or six minutes later, the unpleasant feeling of confusion finally disappeared.
Everyone gradually returned to normal.
Lin Hao opened his eyes, a hint of regret flashing across them: the time was too short, and his understanding was limited.
He glanced around and saw many people still lying on the ground, pale-faced and with obvious tear stains, hastily regaining their composure.
"We have entered the initial universe."
Nine Swords Venerable smiled.
"The Initial Universe!"
The geniuses' eyes immediately filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Even the dozen or so immortal powerhouses accompanying them couldn't help but look up.
"Open the top."
The Nine Swords Venerable gave the order.
laugh!
The metal roof above the hall slowly retracted, revealing a transparent outer cover.
Everyone immediately looked up and peered through the outer cover: thin, chaotic air currents drifted in the dim void.
Space in the distance would occasionally crack, and strange, flowing patterns could be clearly seen at the edges of the cracks.
Streams of glowing silk threads intertwined and interwoven, with secret patterns flowing across them, as if a giant loom was repairing and expanding this world.
boom!
Lin Hao was shocked, his gaze fixed on the crystalline patterns flowing along the threads of the spatial rift in the distance.
Lawful Runes!
This is the initial universe!
The dozen or so immortals also looked up and gazed, sometimes closing their eyes to comprehend, sometimes focusing intently on the sights.
As the spaceship moved forward, more spatial rifts and intertwined threads of law could be seen from time to time.
Planets and stars have lifespans, and so does the universe, only it is incredibly long.
The Nine Swords Venerable explained, "The initial universe was in the state of its creation. As the universe was forming and perfecting, its fundamental operating rules naturally manifested."
"The threads you see repairing the cracks in space are the outward manifestation of the fundamental laws governing the universe, encompassing various fundamental laws."
The young geniuses were stunned.
Are those threads that repair the universe the laws themselves?
