Swallowed Star: Copy God

Standing in the control room of the F-class spaceship of the Virtual Universe Company, Ye Yun felt no vibration from the sudden deceleration. After Pi Meng's precise countdown ended, the spaceship returned from the dark universe to the original universe and activated the 100% simulation of the external scenery. Ye Yun finally saw the outside景象.

Directly in front of the spaceship was a vast continent, completely filling Ye Yun's entire view. He couldn't see the end of it with a single glance. Ye Yun knew that the spaceship was still a long distance away from this continent, but it still filled his entire field of vision. From this, one could roughly imagine how shocking this massive continent, stretching across the starry sky, truly was.

The previous headquarters of the Ganwu Secret Realm was also located on a continent, the creation of Ganwu Country Lord, a Universe Venerable. That was already enough to shock Ye Yun, but compared to the continent where the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters was located, it was like comparing a small shaman to a great one. Whether it was in terms of volume, size, or the technological content within, they were far from being on the same level.

According to Pi Meng's description, this continent, the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, had a diameter of about tens of light-years. That is to say, without entering the dark universe to fly, it would take at least decades of flight time to reach the other end of the continent from one end. This giant continent was equivalent to the face of the Virtual Universe Company, directly and clearly demonstrating the Virtual Universe Company's formidable strength.

This Virtual Universe Company headquarters continent was not floating alone in the starry sky. Around the continent, there were many planets, asteroids, nebulae, and other facilities. These were powerful weapons containing terrifying technology, guarding the central continent. It could be said that within the range of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters continent, safety was maximized. Relying on these technological facilities alone was enough to block many Universe Venerable-level powerhouses.

Although he had already clearly seen this vast and magnificent headquarters continent, Ye Yun, riding the F-class spaceship at a speed close to the speed of light, still traveled for more than ten hours before finally approaching an entrance to the headquarters continent. Along the entrance passage, the spaceship continued to travel for a few minutes before slowly decelerating until it came to a complete stop.

Along the way, Ye Yun had already enjoyed the beautiful scenery that could be seen everywhere on the Virtual Universe Company headquarters continent. After passing through the entrance passage and entering the interior of the continent, Ye Yun immediately felt that the surrounding scenery was even more exquisite and beautiful.

Under Pi Meng's guidance, Ye Yun left the spaceship's hatch and saw that there were already more than a dozen people waiting for him in front. The leader was a beautiful woman wearing a silver robe. Seeing Ye Yun appear, she stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying,

"Your Highness Ye Yun, I am here under the Venerable's order to wait. Please follow me, Your Highness."

Ye Yun nodded slightly, turned back, smiled at Pi Meng, and said,

"Pi Meng, thank you for your hard work along the way! We can still meet in the Virtual Universe Rain Phase Mountain later if we have time. I hope you don't stagnate!"

After giving Pi Meng a big hug, Ye Yun followed the silver-robed woman and the others along an incredibly dreamlike corridor towards the deeper parts of the headquarters continent.

The latter half of this corridor was completely transparent, and the surrounding scenery was clearly visible. At a glance, one could see the beautiful starry sky outside the corridor, as well as various strange landscapes on the continent.

Ye Yun was slightly immersed in such a spectacle, but after a moment, the corridor under his feet disappeared, and an oval-shaped hall appeared in front of him. The surroundings and the top of the hall were also completely transparent, and the scenery seen here was even richer. Not only were there fixed landscapes, but also many spaceships traveling here. Even some Undying-level powerhouses flying through the air passed by like shooting stars, showcasing the prosperity of the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters.

"Ye Yun is here!"

"A'Yun, you're here!"

At this time, many people had already arrived in the hall. After a slight glance, there were probably seven or eight hundred people gathered. Ye Yun was one of the later arrivals. As soon as he entered the hall, Ye Yun felt the call of the 'small group' from the past three years. Immediately, a smile appeared, and he walked towards Luo Feng and the others.

This was the first time Ye Yun and Luo Feng had met in person since leaving Earth last time. Although they had been in contact in the virtual universe, it was not reality after all, so Luo Feng and Ye Yun were both very excited. If nothing unexpected happened in the future, they could meet often except for the time they were performing tasks.

Ye Yun appeared very enthusiastic, and his smile was extremely bright. He first hugged and exchanged greetings with Luo Feng for a while, and then began to shake hands and communicate with Gu Si Luo, Jiang Mo, Qian Shui, and others one by one. All the geniuses who ranked in the top 20 this time had arrived, and Ye Yun did not miss a single one, including Bo Lan, whom he had not communicated with much. Ye Yun also personally stepped forward, enthusiastically shook hands, and chatted with him, with an even brighter smile on his face as he shook hands.

Everyone was a little unaccustomed to Ye Yun's enthusiastic attitude, but Ye Yun was, after all, the well-deserved first place in this session's Peak Genius Battle, and his talent was fully qualified to compete for the top spot in many sessions of the Genius Battle over hundreds of millions of years. Therefore, facing Ye Yun's initiative to 'befriend' them, although they were a little unaccustomed to it, they would not deliberately refuse. Even 'Phantom Demon' Garaisi, who was defeated by Ye Yun, only twitched his face slightly, but still exchanged a few words with Ye Yun.

The scene in the entire hall became much more lively than before due to Ye Yun's influence. Many people also began to gather together to discuss their respective gains over the past three years, as well as some cultivation insights, no longer appearing so deserted.

However, Ye Yun's range of activity was only concentrated among a dozen or twenty people. Many geniuses who entered the Heavenly Secret Realm this time, watching Ye Yun and the others chatting and laughing happily, felt a surge of dissatisfaction in their hearts again. However, they also knew that saying things verbally and thinking about things in their hearts were of no use. They only thought about proving their efforts over the past three years through actions after entering the Initial Universe.

About two or three hours after Ye Yun arrived in the hall, all one thousand elite geniuses had finally gathered. No one encountered any unexpected situations on the way, which once again reflected the Virtual Universe Company's formidable strength from the side.

"Everyone, please follow me."

A hoarse, low voice came, followed by a tall, slender man with red eyes, cloaked in a simple white robe, appearing in the hall. The aura faintly emanating from him made the thousand geniuses, including Ye Yun, feel as if they had encountered an incredibly terrifying venomous snake. Amidst their heart's trepidation, they were enveloped by a powerful, irresistible force emanating from the tall, slender man with red eyes, losing their freedom of movement.

The tall, slender man with red eyes was very polite in his words, but extremely domineering in his actions. He didn't give Ye Yun and the others any chance to refuse, directly using his aura to envelop the thousand genius elites, instantly transforming into streams of light. They flew for several minutes, placing the thousand genius elites on a lawn.

Although Ye Yun was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable being carried through the air by the master with red eyes without any resistance. Half of it came from the loss of control over himself, and the other half was influenced by the tall, slender man with red eyes' gloomy aura.

After a while, everyone recovered from the discomfort they had just experienced. The tall, slender man with red eyes coldly spoke again,

"Everyone, please board the spaceship!"

On this lawn, besides them, there was only a huge 'spaceship' with an incredibly strange shape. Calling it a spaceship, in Ye Yun and the others' eyes, it was like a giant fish with a dark blue body, nearly a thousand meters long, its tail fin still swaying slightly, as if there was no difference from a real fish.

However, in the belly of the giant fish spaceship, a hatch was open. Through the hatch, one could clearly see the corridor inside. The internal structure and facilities were no different from ordinary spaceships.

Ye Yun knew that this strange-looking giant fish spaceship was actually a spaceship that had fused with a special life form, and the special life form it had fused with had reached the Immortal level!

Some auxiliary special life forms in the universe, such as some plant life, metal life, etc., can be fused with metal spaceships to improve the ship's level and various performances, and some even come with special abilities.

Previously, Ye Yun had met the strange woman Ye Lin in the Fu Peng Starfield. One of the major forces that was chasing Ye Lin at the time had a spaceship that had fused with a special metal auxiliary life form. It possessed a special talent, allowing it to effectively memorize spaceships it had come into contact with. Even at a great distance, it could still sense their approximate location. It was precisely because of this metal auxiliary life form that those people were able to continuously track Ye Lin's location.

And the Virtual Universe Company was powerful and wealthy. Based on a top-tier F-class spaceship, it fused with a special auxiliary life form of at least the Immortal level, making the giant fish spaceship in front of them surpass the F-class level and reach a higher G-class level. Such a spaceship was not particularly common even in the Virtual Universe Company. Those who could own one were all prominent figures.

Following the crowd, Ye Yun passed through the hatch of the giant fish spaceship and entered the interior through the passage, arriving at a wide hall.

In the hall, the familiar figure of Venerable Nine Swords, with his green robe and purple scales, was already waiting there. Venerable Nine Swords was simply standing there, without releasing his powerful aura, yet he made the thousand geniuses, including Ye Yun, afraid to make any noise. The natural aura alone was enough to make everyone involuntarily look up to him. This was the powerful deterrence from a Universe Venerable.

The feeling that Venerable Nine Swords gave them in the virtual universe before was not so real. Now, standing in front of Ye Yun and the others in reality, he immediately brought them boundless pressure. If they didn't deliberately suppress it, just a glance or a shout would be enough to obliterate them many times over.

Ye Yun stood at the front of the crowd, stabilizing his mind, while carefully and quietly using his talent secret technique, the Eye of Replication, on Venerable Nine Swords!

This was the first time Ye Yun had used the Eye of Replication on a powerhouse at the Universe Venerable level, so he was extremely cautious from the beginning. First, he very smoothly replicated Venerable Nine Swords' various cultivation talents, including his talent for exerting physical strength, his talent for comprehending laws, and so on. Then, replicating some of the secret techniques and various cultivation insights that Venerable Nine Swords had mastered was not so easy.

Now, during the three-year journey, without suppressing his cultivation, Ye Yun had naturally broken through to the Universe level. However, there was still a very large gap between him and Venerable Nine Swords, who was at the Universe Venerable level. Moreover, many of Venerable Nine Swords' insights and secret techniques were completely useless to Ye Yun at this stage. The level was too high. Replicating these complicated things would instead increase the danger of Ye Yun bursting himself, so a great deal of screening was required.

Ye Yun also had a lot of experience in using the Eye of Replication, so he kept his mind tense, but his actions were not flustered at all. He methodically chose the things he needed most now. Because there were not many things to choose from, the final replication was completed very smoothly, and it didn't take much time.

Perhaps it was because he had never replicated two powerful and evenly matched talents before, or perhaps it was because the Law of Space Origin had a large coverage, that Ye Yun now had this feeling. It was as if Berlan and Venerable Nine Swords were both very strong in the Law of Space Origin, but they each had different leanings.

Berlan's Law of Space Origin was inclined towards space teleportation, while Venerable Nine Swords was more inclined towards the control of space, such as sealing and strangling. After obtaining the talents of both, Ye Yun was strengthened in both aspects. That is to say, Ye Yun at this time possessed a stronger talent in the Law of Space Origin than both Berlan and Venerable Nine Swords!

'It seems that I still need to find many different people to try replicating in the future, maybe it can bring me different inspirations and new discoveries!'
