Chapter 243 Initial Understanding of the Laws of the Universe
This disparity in status is even more outrageous than the bald eagle president chasing after an ant on the roadside shouting, "Brother, let's become sworn brothers!" Anyone who saw this would definitely think he was crazy.
No, it's not that normal.
It's even more absurd than an immortal god kneeling down and calling a slave who's not even an apprentice-level buddy.
If this were to get out, the entire virtual universe forum of the human race in the universe would probably crash for three days, and the trending search terms would range from "The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom has gone mad" to "Xu Qing is the illegitimate son of the ruler of the universe".
But the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not feel anything amiss.
He explained with a laugh, "Don't be surprised! In the universe, strength matters, not seniority!"
"I've never seen another talent like yours in all my years of life. As long as you don't perish halfway through, there's at least a 50% chance you'll reach the same level as me. We'll both be cosmic venerables in the future, so calling you brother in advance isn't lowering my status!"
"Besides, with your abilities, you might even be accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Universe in the future. If I were to take you as my disciple, it would only be a waste of your potential!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he veered to the most practical point: "Not to mention, we've always been partners, we're practically inseparable."
"After we become sworn brothers, whatever you need or require, I, Qianwu, will not hesitate to help. Resource allocation will be much easier to discuss in the future!"
After listening to this seemingly serious but ultimately flawed argument, Xu Qing, though already fully aware of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord's ulterior motives, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
So they changed from taking on apprentices to becoming sworn brothers? Isn't the progress bar jumping a bit too fast?
Damn, if this king knew that his understanding of the laws of space and time was already close to the threshold of immortality, he would probably jump up from his chair on the spot and kneel down to call him big brother.
It's just that sworn brothers are normal, anyway, they won't restrict you.
When the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom asked Xu Qing to call him "elder brother," Xu Qing didn't even consider refusing.
Listen, the main thing is that he is indeed quite old. Xu Qing is not even 40 years old, and he is calling someone who has lived for three or four hundred billion years "big brother". Although it feels a bit strange, it feels like he has gained something.
After all, this age gap is like an ancient emperor who has lived for over a hundred years and is almost halfway to his grave suddenly running up to a child and saying, "Good brother, we are destined to be sworn brothers."
Most people wouldn't feel offended; they'd just wonder if this old man had gone mad.
Xu Qing is feeling this way right now.
The two talked like this for five or six minutes.
"The top is open," said the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
The metal roof above the hall suddenly split open automatically, revealing a transparent glass-like outer layer. Instantly, the area above the hall became transparent, allowing people to look up and see the outside world through the transparent layer.
Xu Qing immediately noticed that it was dark outside, with occasional wisps of chaotic air.
In the distance, one could vaguely see the heavens and earth cracking open from time to time, and even see a large number of strange patterns flowing at the edge of the cracked space. Threads of silk were connected, and the patterns on the threads were floating, just like a loom, weaving the heavens and earth to be bigger and bigger.
Xu Qing gazed at the strange, mysterious patterns flowing along the crystalline threads at the crack in the distant space, sometimes observing them closely, sometimes revealing a thoughtful expression.
The spaceship continued to fly.
I often see cracks in outer space, and strange, thread-like patterns.
"Just as stars and planets have lifespans, so too does this universe, only its lifespan is incredibly long," the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said with a smile. "This initial universe is the new universe in the 'beginning of the universe' stage. In this initial stage, the universe is constantly being perfected and formed, and the fundamental rules governing its operation will become apparent."
"Those cracks in the universe are constantly being repaired by the fundamental rules governing the universe, which contain various fundamental laws."
I already knew all this. I also knew that this was the primordial miniature universe. Xu Qing looked at the crystalline threads that were repairing the universe. The numerous secret patterns floating on the threads were the laws governing the operation of the universe.
"The original universe we live in is an incomparably vast, enormous, and perfect universe," said the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
"Because it is perfect, it is impossible for the laws governing its operation to be outwardly manifested, making it very difficult to comprehend. In the initial universe, however, everything can be directly observed with the naked eye, and you can see how various laws are perfectly combined with each other, how the universe was formed, and how the rules operate. Everything can be seen directly, so it is much easier to comprehend."
"Slots for comprehending the initial universe are therefore extremely precious."
"The position of Realm Lord alone costs tens of thousands of Chaos Units, not to mention the position of Immortal, which costs hundreds of millions of Chaos Units."
"And even if there are quotas, the time they are granted is extremely short, only a few decades or a hundred years."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was deeply moved.
"A typical peak Realm Lord is worth about 10 Mixed Yuan Units, an ordinary Immortal is worth about 10, and even some Marquis Immortals are worth no more than 10 million."
"But why do they all desperately want to squeeze into Chaos City? It's because they can directly comprehend the operation of the fundamental laws of the universe. A peak Realm Lord, as long as they have a spot in the Initial Universe, has a 50% chance of becoming an Immortal."
"You should know how high the probability is."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing inwardly curled his lip.
This also explains why the initial universe was able to easily perceive the fundamental laws.
But there are those who can come, and they are absolutely outstanding geniuses.
After all, the organization behind it must be no ordinary realm lord to be willing to pay such a large amount of mixed-elemental units.
The worldview of Swallowed Star is very realistic and cold.
In a universe like Swallowing the Stars, where even the most powerful beings don't necessarily have free resurrection chances, and even the master of the Lord of the Origin World didn't have many free resurrection chances, how could someone expect to pay several times the price of an immortal without some real ability?
The cost was too high.
Adding them together, a 50% probability is normal.
As for Xu Qing, he was considering whether he could become a Universe Venerable within six years.
Maybe I can switch shifts with the Nine Swords Venerable and have him mentor the newcomers.
"I wonder what Luo Feng will think when he comes to Chaos City after participating in the Genius Battle and sees me." Xu Qing couldn't help but smile to himself as he thought of this.
It felt like a fellow villager working hard to get into Tsinghua University, only to find out that the Tsinghua president on the podium was his own brother.
That felt like a dream.
But the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom continued:
"As for those who are granted the title of Immortal King, they all have permanent residency rights and therefore do not need quotas. In fact, they themselves are the lecturers of those genius warriors, and are grandmasters of their own school."
"But for the contestants of the Genius Battle, whether it is the Immortal King as their teacher or the Three Treasures of Chaos, as long as they become core disciples, these are all free. That is why so many talented martial artists are willing to participate in the Genius Battle one after another."
