Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Chapter 592: Might as well just slack off!

The Frozen Ice Domain, the Boat of Tombs.

The Corridor of Life and Death was silent. Golden light figure palaces were scattered everywhere, and even more massive numbers of candidates surrounded these light figure palaces. These golden light figure palaces represented those who met the requirements.

“Ding! Dong!”

A familiar sound rang out, echoing in the hearts of every strong individual. All the strong individuals looked up.

“It should be the 70th one.”

“I wonder who this 70th person who meets the requirements is. This time, it should be from our original universe. It can’t always be the First Cycle Era and the two Holy Lands.”

“It’s our Second Cycle Era’s turn.”

Those later learners were all secretly thinking, obviously the two Holy Lands and the First Cycle Era accounted for the vast majority of the candidates who met the requirements.

“I... I am very happy.” Duan Donghe’s voice rang out.

Huh?

All the strong individuals were shocked, even a few who were distracted by studying the Rhinoceros Emperor Game temporarily stopped their research and looked up.

Happy?

Duan Donghe is happy? This was not a good thing for them.

Duan Donghe stood in mid-air with a smile, overlooking the tens of thousands of strong individuals from various races below who were looking up in anticipation. Duan Donghe smiled and said, "The human Galaxy has broken through the second bottleneck—reaching a new level."

Whoa!

A burst of commotion!

Many candidates turned their heads to look at the Galaxy Lord, Luo Feng, who had been almost forgotten in recent years.

“Rise!” Duan Donghe pointed remotely.

Immediately, on the ground next to Luo Feng, another crystal pillar rose up with a crackling sound. When the crystal pillar was completely raised, its surface began to emit a dazzling red light.

The hazy red light merged with the previous golden light of the palace, giving the entire light palace two colors—gold and red.

The gold and red palace enveloped Luo Feng.

Luo Feng himself was a bit dazed. This, this—this is considered meeting the requirements? You must know that in the virtual universe, he had already solved 2400 games, and only demonstrated the 2000th game.

Are those who meet the requirements treated differently?

Hmm...?

Luo Feng expressed his satisfaction. No wonder Brother Yang always liked to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. It turns out this thing is really enjoyable.

Other forces were shocked and incomprehending. They thought that after meeting the requirements, everyone would be the same, but now it seemed completely different!

“I said,” Duan Donghe looked at the many stunned candidates below, “the more Rhinoceros Emperor Games you solve, the greater the benefits, and the greater the benefits during inheritance.”

“If you break through your respective first bottlenecks, it will be considered meeting my bottom line requirements—of course, this is only the bottom line requirement. If you can’t even meet the bottom line requirement, naturally you don’t have any qualifications to move forward.”

“The human Galaxy has met the requirements and become an elite candidate.”

“Those who solve more games—the level of contact with inheritance will naturally be different. For example, now the human Galaxy has ten times or a hundred times higher chance of obtaining inheritance than you, unless you also break through the second bottleneck.”

Seeing some candidates below were thoughtful, while the majority were still puzzled, Duan Donghe rarely explained.

“Even candidates can be divided into four levels—outer candidates, elite candidates, core candidates, and the final inheritors!”

“Those of you who have met my bottom line requirements have only entered the preliminary round and become outer candidates. And this human Galaxy is now considered an elite candidate, qualified to advance to the next hall and come into contact with some of my Duan Donghe lineage’s inheritance.”

“Reaching the second bottleneck is considered elite.”

“Reaching the third bottleneck is core.”

“Reaching the fourth bottleneck—that is directly an inheritor, without the need for competition and selection, directly obtaining my Duan Donghe inheritance.”

“Work hard!”

A silence.

All the candidates present understood that the number of games solved really made a fundamental difference, and even solving a certain number of games could directly obtain the inheritance.

All parties were secretly anxious, especially knowing that Luo Feng had already broken through the second bottleneck, they were even more anxious.

“That detestable human, detestable. The ancestor had already instructed us to do whatever it takes to seize the inheritance.”

A group of universe masters from the Purple Moon Holy Land transmitted messages to each other. Lord Deer Insect also frowned and transmitted, “I can’t help it. From the beginning, this Duan Donghe seemed to favor Luo Feng very much. Later, Luo Feng was the first to meet the requirements for solving the Rhinoceros Emperor Game.”

“Now he has broken through the second bottleneck. If this continues, his advantage will probably become greater and greater. At that time, our chances of obtaining the inheritance will be even smaller. Lord Deer Insect, should we kill this Luo Feng?”

“Yes, Lord Deer Insect, let’s kill him.”

“Rather be killed by Duan Donghe than let Luo Feng ruin the opportunity for their humans.”

Lord Deer Insect hurriedly transmitted, “Don’t rush. Not only are we anxious about this matter, but the Eastern Emperor Holy Land is also anxious, and those from the First Cycle Era are even more anxious. They are facing the limit of their lifespans...”

“If Luo Feng seizes this inheritance, it would be equivalent to ruining the opportunity for their First Cycle Era to transcend reincarnation. They will take action. Moreover, if we succeed in taking action, that’s fine, but if we fail and offend Duan Donghe, we probably won’t have any hope of obtaining the inheritance.”

Other forces also had hidden worries and harbored murderous intentions. However, the strong individuals of each race, especially the First Cycle Era and the two Holy Lands, had universe supreme masters approaching this light figure palace to sense it carefully. They could all sense the aura that made them tremble.

Without a doubt—

Duan Donghe’s secret method of protection was absolutely terrifying. Some universe masters had already lost confidence before even taking action. They were anxious and angry but helpless, which made them even more hateful towards Luo Feng.

“Ah——”

“Be angry, there won’t be any chance later!”

Luo Feng glanced around, then grinned and closed his eyes, not bothering to look.

Ever since Duan Donghe revealed his progress in understanding, he had become the target of public criticism. However, later these people thought they could do it again, so they gradually stopped paying attention to him.

Since they had already torn their faces, there was no need to pay attention.

Years passed by.

In the Corridor of Life and Death, a strong individual barely broke through the second bottleneck every few thousand years.

As for breaking through the first bottleneck, there were no more!

Obviously, those countless immortal gods and universe venerables who could not break through had reached their limit, and no amount of time could help them break through.

At this moment, among the 326 who reached the first bottleneck, all nine universe supreme masters had reached it, all universe masters had reached it, and a few immortal gods and some universe venerables had met the requirements.

Solving the Rhinoceros Emperor Game does not necessarily mean that the longer you spend time, the more games you can solve. Many immortal gods have limited potential, and some may never be able to break through even to the universe venerable level. Of course, wanting to break through the first bottleneck is extremely difficult.

Except for a few who met the requirements, other candidates basically had no chance.

Since there was no chance.

Then they might as well just slack off.

Most of the tens of thousands of strong individuals from various races in the universe sea gathered in the Corridor of Life and Death were slacking off and started discussing through voice transmission. The strong individuals of each force did not stop them, as it was not a bad thing to gain some knowledge in advance.

Thousands of years passed quickly.

“Success!”

Luo Feng stood smiling in front of the crystal pillar. Just now, he had instantly and perfectly solved the 3000th incomplete game in the crystal pillar. As soon as he succeeded in solving the game, Luo Feng looked up into the distance.

Duan Donghe, come out.

It’s time for you to show yourself!

“Swish swish...” Countless cyan light spots condensed out of thin air, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and it even faintly caused a freezing sensation to the soul, causing all the candidates to shiver and look up. They saw countless cyan light spots in mid-air...

Like snowflakes falling!

“What’s going on?”

“Something big is about to happen!”

This strange scene made many candidates feel uneasy. At this moment, those countless cyan light spots that looked like snowflakes suddenly crazily surged towards Luo Feng.

“Rumble!”

On the ground behind Luo Feng, a crystal pillar suddenly cracked and surged out. For a time, three crystal pillars surrounded Luo Feng, and countless cyan light spots quickly condensed and turned into a layer of palace covering Luo Feng’s head.

Gold, red, and cyan, the three-colored palace was dazzling. At this moment, Luo Feng was like the emperor among the tens of thousands of candidates in the universe sea.

Despair!

The strong individuals of the First Cycle Era present were almost all in despair. Their numbers accounted for the vast majority of the candidates, and they were also the candidates who most eagerly wanted to obtain the inheritance.

Because the limit of their lifespans was approaching, if they lost even this inheritance opportunity, they would probably only have one way to go, which was to fall. They were unwilling to fall, unwilling for their entire race to disappear in reincarnation.

The scene before them made them all understand that Luo Feng had broken through the third bottleneck of the Rhinoceros Emperor Game.

“Galaxy!”

A white light figure condensed in mid-air and turned into a dazzling Duan Donghe wearing white gorgeous armor. At this moment, Duan Donghe did not have the kind of coldness and loneliness, but was very dazzling.

“Only 9000 years——”

Duan Donghe’s tears had already flowed down: “I didn’t expect that on this dead end, when forced to abandon everything and embark on this dead end, I could finally find a junior like you.”

What!

Something bad is going to happen!
