Multi-Gene

Also!

Even though they could see him there with their eyes, all the geniuses felt as though this great being himself was almost like in a different space altogether. That time and space disorderly feeling made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"1,008 universe states, a thousand from each, a total of over a million geniuses." The green robed man stood in mid air, surveying the over a million geniuses below, his voice was gentle, "Our Virtual Universe Corp is going to pick the 1,000 strongest from you all and absorb them into the core of our Virtual Universe Corp."

"The million of you will contest for 1,000 slots."

"The rules are as below."

"Tomorrow, all of you will separately enter a training space. Our Virtual Universe Corp has prepared over a million training spaces, one for each of you."

"There\'s a total of 7 towers within the training space! Every tower has 7 levels!"

"From the 1st tower you will begin your battle, after finishing the 1st tower and all of its 7 levels, then you can enter the 2nd tower. If you die at any point, you will be kicked out of the training space!"

"According to your training space results, we\'ll calculate the points."

"The top rankers in points from rank 1- 100 will immediately be absorbed into the Virtual Universe Corp\'s core members, acquiring 100 slots."

"From rank 101 to rank 7300, these 7200 people will engage in arena duels and fight for the remaining 900 slots."

"As for those 7300 and behind…they\'ll be eliminated!"

The green robed man\'s words caused the over a million geniuses to be stunned.

There were a total of 1,008,000 people this time, meaning that just from this training space, over a million were going to be eliminated!

…

That mysterious being that represented the Virtual Universe Corporation left straight after that simple announcement.

Even though David and the others were still curious, they could only return to skyscraper 0825 to rest.

Daybreak of the next day.

"Everyone please get ready, we\'ll begin the group teleportation soon, which will send all the participants into their respective training spaces." A clear voice resounded within the entire space where the skyscrapers were. The geniuses within the 1,008 skyscrapers were up much earlier, awaiting the beginning of the elimination.

First the elimination and later the duels.

However in terms of brutality of the round, it was obvious that the training space round made their hearts tremble.

"All the best."

"Work hard." Within the large hall of the skyscraper 0825, the geniuses from the Aeon Star universe state wished each other, it was too brutal. This 1st wave of elimination alone eliminated over a million people. Of the 1000 geniuses in this hall, less than a count of 10 fingers worth of people may be left.

"Devil, good luck."

"Quick Blade, all the best."

David and the green haired youth Quick Blade encouraged each other.

Suddenly…

Rumble!

A formless peculiar energy descended on the space, causing the 1,008,000 geniuses within to immediately be teleported. As for the Eternal\'s still in that space, along with the waiters and staff etc, they weren\'t affected at all.

There was a large meteorite that was close to 100km in size, rectangular shaped, floating in mid space.

Shua!

David appeared on the meteorite. As he looked around, there were distant little stars around him. And not too far from himself, ordinary planets without any life could be seen. He couldn\'t help but exclaim, "The virtual universe created more than million training spaces, just this one alone is so realistic."

This meteorite which was floating in the universe had 7 towers!

Every tower, was high like a mountain, at least 10km tall and several km cubic meters in area. The 7 towers were spread out in different locations on this huge meteorite.

David lowered his gaze to look at his wrist. On it was a screen, just like during the elimination back in the Aeon Star universe state selection.

"Participant: David (Aeon Star universe state)

Points: 0

Rank: None

Training space location: Number 027 9378

There were a total of 7 towers in a training space and each one of these towers had 7 levels.

The 1st training tower, every level alone had a maximum score of 10,000 points. If one completed all 7 levels, they could at most acquire 70,000 points.

The 2nd tower, every level\'s maximum score was 100,000 points. Completing all 7 levels would gain one a maximum of 700,000 points.

...

The 4th tower, every level\'s maximum score was 10 million. Completing all would give one 70 million points.

...

The 7th tower, every level\'s maximum score was 100 trillion points. After completing all 7 levels, one would acquire 700 trillion points.

Note: The moment one dies, the training ends.

There were two ways to get past every level. One of them was to kill all the targets within that level, acquiring all the points possible and being transported immediately to the next. The second way was, instead of killing all targets, if one still survived without dying after ten days, he would be immediately transported to the next level and continue on.

When all of the participants have died, the training ends. The final ranking will be determined then.

Below shows the ranking."

"Madness." David looked at the screen, shaking his head, "When everyone dies, the training ends? What does this mean…does it mean that there is a possibility that no one can actually make it past the 7th tower!"

Obviously, the difficulty of the towers were extremely high.

The Virtual Universe Corporation had confidence in killing off everyone of the participants!

"This is pretty similar to the elimination stage of the Aeon Star universe state. However that time it was just within that one world, and it was just a part of the Aeon Star universe state\'s selection and ranking within that one world. And this time! It\'s actually the pinnacle geniuses from the 1,008 universe states all gathered. The strong are numerous as the clouds, and ranking below 7,300, one would immediately be eliminated." David creased his eyebrows and pondered.

Obviously!

The 1st tower was meant to be easier, and it got gradually harder towards the end!
