Is a dead genius still considered a genius?

… …

Recalling the task the Demon King had just issued, Qin Feng didn't feel it was a pity.

Because, in fact, when he first saw the Demon King – Shi Fang Ju Mie, he had already sensed it… there was a hint of Trial Authority at the broken wing behind the Demon King!

This made Qin Feng guess that the Demon King’s pair of wings were probably severed by someone who possessed the power of Trial Authority!

Qin Feng temporarily had no intention of getting involved in disputes of this level.

Naturally, he also had to avoid any involvement.

Rescuing the Demon King’s daughter—such a task sounded problematic from the start, so it was best to simply ignore it.

Whoosh!

Qin Feng completed the third challenge of the Path to the End, returning to Blue Star with a record-breaking achievement, ranking first across all civilizations and all time!

The regrettable thing was that no one on Blue Star knew about it.

The level of the Path to the End far exceeded the limits that Blue Star players could reach.

Let alone the Path to the End, even the Road of Despair, which was a tier lower, currently only Ghost Spirit on Blue Star was qualified to participate…

However, as Qin Feng brought back batches of equipment,

many players from the Great Xia Official with sufficiently strong talents were gradually able to accelerate their development until they could participate in the Road of Despair!

The equipment Qin Feng brought back for them was temporarily not counted when determining the qualifications for the Road of Despair challenge.

But as long as they quickly improved their combat power with this equipment, they would eventually meet the qualifications for the Road of Despair challenge… unless their talent was truly too poor, then they would never catch up.

Of course, currently, none of the members of the Great Xia Official's ‘Legendary Squad’ had poor talent.

Those with truly poor talent wouldn't even be able to become one of the top hundred in the Great Xia Official…

Qin Feng looked at the three rewards in his hand and was quite satisfied with them. Although there were no equipment or skill book rewards, there was no doubt that the value of these three rewards far exceeded that of a single piece of equipment or a skill book.

“rule stone, produce 30 first, consuming 2.1 million years of lifespan.”

“Also produce 10 time-space sand, consuming 20 million years of lifespan.”

Although it was used once every 3.14 days, the production cost of this time-space sand was truly making Qin Feng feel the strain.

On average, it was equivalent to spending 7 million years of lifespan daily!

Adding the previous Stripping Stone, Order Stone, and Reinforcement Stone, Qin Feng had to consume over ten million years of lifespan every day!

This was just about on par with the lifespan that the current 'leeks' on Blue Star could provide.

But this expenditure was necessary, after all, these things were Qin Feng's daily reserves for becoming stronger.

Of course, Qin Feng was not in a hurry to use these 10 pieces of time-space sand; they could essentially increase the precipitation period of his Old Days Grade equipment or skills by 10 years.

“On average, I can increase the precipitation period of one skill or piece of equipment by 3.33 years every day.”

“This is equivalent to getting 333,000 evolution points for free.”

“Moreover, evolution points can only evolve skills, not equipment…”

This made Qin Feng realize that the effect of his ‘Infinite Evolution’ talent would likely gradually decrease after all his skills and equipment evolved to the Old Days Grade in the future!

What's more, things like time-space sand originally existed in the universe…

“It seems I need to quickly raise the divinity limit of Judgment Blade to ten thousand points to gain the Blessing Judgment ability.”

“If the old cheats can't keep up, then just develop new ones!”

And currently, the divinity limit of Judgment Blade no longer saw much improvement from judging intermediate NPCs.

However, in both the Yōlán Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization, there were hundreds of High-Level Divine Authority Towers!

Inside each High-Level Divine Authority Tower, there was a high-level npc.

Originally, Qin Feng didn't plan to provoke those high-level npcs, as no one knew if any of those high-level npcs were as abnormal as Yuan.

But now…

He had no choice but to provoke them!

“I need to find some easy-to-bully high-level npcs, kill them, and judge them.”

Qin Feng planned to first consult with the Great Xia Official to understand which high-level npcs were inside the High-Level Divine Authority Towers outside the various major City Ruins.

By now, with the Great Xia Official's development and exploration speed, they should have detailed information on every High-Level Divine Authority Tower.

Additionally, Qin Feng also needed to collect information on High-Level Divine Authority Towers outside of Great Xia.

On one hand, relying on the Great Xia Official.

On the other hand, naturally relying on Qin Feng's own 'downlines,' which were those 'leek' leaders.

“Let’s try out a few high-level npcs.”

“Wait one more day, and the Abyss Child of the Abyss World on Blue Star will appear.”

“Then I can pretty much return to the Yōlán Civilization to continue grinding and developing… I hope someone can find the Goddess of Extreme Love’s tomb before I leave.”

Qin Feng was just planning when suddenly, Wan Ye Wei Yu sent an urgent message: “Great God! The Legendary Squad from South Korea entered a High-Level Divine Authority Tower, and all six of them lost contact. Their friends say their names have turned gray!”

This news surprised Qin Feng a little.

Speak of the devil?

“From South Korea?”

Did they provoke the high-level npc inside the High-Level Divine Authority Tower there?

Something was off.

Qin Feng knew that these Legendary Squads had very good discipline and wouldn't recklessly provoke high-level npcs without reason…

One must know, the upper limit of high-level npcs was too high!

If it was a weaker high-level npc, they might only have one or two Own Orders.

But if it was a powerful high-level npc, they could have more than ten, or even dozens of Own Orders!

Those were existences that even Qin Feng currently found difficult to deal with.

After all, the development time of such npcs was not limited to the ten years of the Reincarnation Civilization.

It was even possible that they had developed for hundreds of years in the Order Land…

“Alright, I’ll go over there.”

Qin Feng replied.

South Korea had two High-Level Divine Authority Towers, one outside the capital ruins and one outside the Fushan Ruins.

The one that had an incident was outside the Fushan Ruins.

To be safe, Qin Feng asked another question: “By the way, who is the captain of that team?”

He originally wanted to see if he knew them.

As a result, Wan Ye Wei Yu sent four words: “Miracle Walker.”

“…”

Qin Feng was a bit speechless.

Could this guy have gotten dizzy from grinding in South Korea?

In any case, he'd go check it out first.

… …

Just as Qin Feng completed the Path to the End challenge and returned to Blue Star,

in the Order Land.

In a magnificent golden palace, at the invitation of Qin Wuyue, the Blood Origin Temple’s Divine Emissary, the powerhouses from Great Xia finally gathered… Such a grand occasion had almost never existed before.

Because these powerhouses were all scattered in different temples, and their statuses were not necessarily high, their stances were too easily influenced by the temple’s position.

When they met each other outside, some were even hostile.

But now, with the rise of a super genius on Blue Star, no one could stop these Great Xia powerhouses from gathering together.

At this moment, not everyone had arrived yet.

But Qin Wuyue sat in the center of the hall, waiting for the remaining people to arrive, her chest held high, a faint arrogance on her face… In her eyes, this gathering of Great Xia powerhouses in the Order Land was her moment to establish herself as the ‘leader’ of the Great Xia small group!

As long as she could control these Great Xia powerhouses, no matter who that super genius was, she would be able to deal with them more easily…

It was at this moment.

Qin Wuyue suddenly received a message from the Hall Master of the Blood Origin Temple, that Eight-Armed Royal Clan of the Starry Sky Pirate Clan!

“What?”

“The third challenge of the Path to the End… passed?”

“Not only is he still first, but his score is also hundreds of times higher than the second place?!”

The arrival of this message made Qin Wuyue gasp!

She knew that the message arrived so quickly this time because, even in the Supreme Heaven, this matter had already been regarded as the most noteworthy event, which was why the news spread so fast!

This shocked Qin Wuyue, and her heart rate subtly quickened.

After all, the stronger that super genius was, the stronger her future backer would be!

Logically, if that super genius was Qin Feng, then the stronger Qin Feng became, the more dangerous she would be.

However…

In these past few days, Qin Wuyue had finally colluded with the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Temple and had initially reached an agreement!

One must know, in the current Order Land, it was impossible for everyone to be preparing to curry favor with Qin Feng.

On the contrary, many people viewed Qin Feng's rise as a threat, and some orders even came down from the Supreme Heaven, causing some temples to secretly stand against Qin Feng!

After all, even ancient gods had faction divisions, let alone these hundreds of temples.

Although a super genius was very strong, if a genius died, were they still a genius?
