The silver-robed woman standing at the front of the conference hall spoke loudly.
"His Highness Luo Fan, His Highness Bolan, and His Highness Luo Feng of the Original Region will proceed to the Primal Secret Realm."
"You will depart together with a Venerable shortly, so for now, remain here and wait for the Venerable."
As she finished speaking, the silver-robed woman looked toward Rong Jun and the others.
"As for the members of the Absolute Beginning Region, walk in that direction and board the rock-gray spaceship that looks like a meteorite."
After giving Rong Jun and the others their ship assignment, the silver-robed woman walked to Hong and Thunder God.
"Next are the members of the Heaven and Earth Region. You will board the second ship, the purple-red one."
"Lastly, the members of the Doomsday Region will take the largest of the three ships, the pitch-black one."
As she spoke, she pointed toward the three spaceships outside.
"You may depart now."
Rumble…
All 808 young people stood up and prepared to head toward their designated ships.
"The four secret realms are not even in the same place. From now on, we brothers can only meet in the Virtual Universe."
"We'll go first."
"See you later."
These geniuses said their farewells, then headed toward their respective ships.
Only Luo Fan, Bolan, and Luo Feng remained inside the conference hall.
Once the geniuses of the other three secret realms left the hall, they naturally formed three separate lines and walked toward their respective spaceships.
"His Highness Luo Fan, His Highness Bolan, His Highness Luo Feng, please follow me."
A black-robed woman with long blood-red hair addressed the three of them.
She led Luo Fan and the others toward the deep-blue fish-like spaceship.
…
Inside the control room of the spaceship.
"This time, I will personally escort you to the Primal Secret Realm."
The Nine-Sword Venerable glanced at the three of them and spoke.
"The Primal Secret Realm is the closest to headquarters. It lies within the same universe country, so we will arrive shortly."
"If you feel bored during the trip, you may return to your rooms to rest."
"When we arrive, someone will come notify you."
The three of them bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Venerable."
The deep-blue fish spaceship flew swiftly through the Dark Universe.
Time passed.
Half a month went by in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Luo Fan and the others stayed in their rooms cultivating.
"His Highness Luo Fan, we have arrived at the Primal Secret Realm!"
A staff member came to the door and called out.
Luo Fan exited the Virtual Universe, stood up, and stretched.
The Primal Secret Realm had finally arrived.
A trace of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
He wanted to see what the Primal Secret Realm described in the book really looked like.
When Luo Fan arrived at the control room, a cold electronic voice echoed inside.
"Commencing universe traversal."
"10."
"9."
"8."
"7."
…
"3."
"2."
"1."
As the countdown ended, the entire ship trembled slightly.
After a moment, it steadied.
Luo Fan looked at the scenery projected outside and immediately saw 136 stars suspended in the void.
Those 136 massive stars revolved among one another in endlessly intricate trajectories.
Luo Fan faintly sensed the fluctuations of the Space Origin Law.
At the same time, he sensed another fluctuation, another upper-level Origin Law of the universe, the Time Origin Law.
"These 136 stars form their own independent spacetime. The princes who reside within are incomparably safe."
"Even a Universe Country Lord cannot break into that spacetime."
A silver-haired woman with black wings said.
"The company built this at an enormous cost specifically for the princes of the Primal Region."
…
The 136 stars in the void revolved in profound trajectories.
They stirred the two greatest Origin Laws of the universe, Time Origin and Space Origin.
The influence of both laws caused the region where these 136 stars existed to form an independent spacetime.
Although they could still see it with their naked eyes,
what they saw was actually an illusion.
Luo Fan stared at the 136 stars, and a memory surfaced, the third image of the Ice Peak Chaos Monument.
The more he observed, the more similarities he found between the Ice Peak Chaos Monument and the motion of these 136 stars.
He could also sense the Space Origin Law contained within the stars' movements.
"Up ahead is the Wu Chen Spacetime. Including you three, there are a total of 116 members in the Primal Secret Realm."
The Nine-Sword Venerable smiled as he spoke.
"But in one hundred years, the Qualification Battle will begin."
"You must not slack off, or you will drop down to the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm."
"I am not worried about Luo Fan. Bolan and Luo Feng, the two of you must work harder."
"Your current law comprehension is not far from the three strongest geniuses of the Primal Secret Realm."
"I hope that in the next hundred years, the three of you will work hard and remain in the Primal Secret Realm."
The Nine-Sword Venerable turned toward Bolan and Luo Feng as he spoke.
As the supervisor for this generation of the Cosmic Genius Battle, all the geniuses technically fell under his command.
Unless a Universe Venerable or a Universe Overlord accepted someone as a disciple,
these geniuses, once grown, would essentially become subordinates under him like King Long Yu.
Thus, the Nine-Sword Venerable naturally hoped they would achieve great things and become as strong as possible.
"Yes!"
Bolan and Luo Feng responded respectfully.
"All right, we've arrived. You may disembark. Someone will come receive you shortly."
The Nine-Sword Venerable spoke to the three of them.
After thanking him, the three left the spaceship.
Once they exited, the deep-blue fish spaceship flicked its tail and vanished.
Luo Fan and the others remained hovering in the void, chatting while waiting for the staff of the Primal Secret Realm to receive them.
Rumble…
Soon, a magnificent black-gold spaceship arrived.
Ten thousand meters long, it appeared out of thin air. Its hatch opened, and three powerful figures flew out.
"We greet Your Highnesses!" the three shouted in unison.
They were the captains of the personal guard squads assigned to each of them in the Primal Secret Realm.
Silek stepped forward first.
"Welcome, Your Highnesses, to the Primal Secret Realm. This spaceship will take you to your respective estates."
Silek then personally invited Luo Fan aboard.
"Your Highness, it is finally an honor to meet you in the real world."
Silek said with a smile.
Luo Fan looked at him with curiosity.
"Silek, are the estates in the Primal Secret Realm the same as in the Virtual Universe?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. The estates have already been remodeled to match the ones in your Virtual Universe exactly. Everything aligns with your habits."
Luo Fan nodded.
After they boarded, the spaceship began its journey.
