What the f*ck!

Pinnacle Confidentiality Agreement?

This warning stunned all the Generals in the arena.

Even General Xiao Yue was dumbfounded.

"How could this be!?"

Luan Hai Divine General was completely panicked.

"A Galaxy Fifth Tier, how could his information trigger the Pinnacle Confidentiality Agreement?!"

"This... isn’t this a privilege only for powerhouses above the God King?"

Facing Luan Hai’s questioning, the smart system gave no reply, only a cold countdown.

"3!"

"2!"

..."Stop, I withdraw!" Luan Hai, drenched in cold sweat, shouted in a hurry.

Are you kidding?

The consequences of triggering the Pinnacle Confidentiality Agreement are definitely a dead end; no one can protect you!

Even a General will die!

The first query is a warning, and there’s only one warning; a repeat offense is a capital crime!

This is the Human Race’s strongest protection for core information!

If the withdrawal isn’t made within the three-second initial warning, the best outcome is direct imprisonment in the Space-Time Forbidden Prison at the deepest level of the Universe Abyss!

Since ancient times, only people have gone into that place; no one has ever come out!!

Not dying is equivalent to dying!

No matter why you queried it.

Violate it, and it’s death!

This rule, though seemingly cruel, is necessary in a Universe with myriad races.

Putting aside the unique races in the Universe, just the Zerg and Nightmare Race’s infiltration capabilities are appalling; Human Race Cultivators controlled by them are virtually undetectable unless they actively reveal themselves.

Not to mention the complex and elusive Soul control methods, which are even harder to guard against.

Therefore, as long as it involves core information, you can’t even ask!

However, this rule only protects the most core information.

Ordinary people, ordinary Cultivators, generally cannot grasp this information, or even the keywords for this information!

Can an ordinary Cultivator know the names of God Kings, or even transcendent beings above God Kings?

Impossible.

Furthermore, ordinary Cultivators generally do not have the authority to query and question the Metaverse smart system, which also serves as a reverse protection for some ordinary Cultivators from being sanctioned by this rule... The Generals fell into complete silence.

Cannot query!

Dare not query!

Even questioning and retrieving why the smart system operated this way is forbidden!

Who exactly is this Qin Mu!???

Go and recruit him?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Luan Hai Divine General wished he could stay further away from Qin Mu; knowing any more information might drag him into the scope of the Pinnacle Confidentiality Agreement’s sanctions!

Because he has already queried once.

If he dares to approach Qin Mu again, there will be no warning.

He might not even have a chance to regret it... Hiss!

General Xiao Yue’s heart was churning like a stormy sea at this moment.

"What’s going on?"

"God King didn’t tell me..."

He really didn’t say.

Although Howling Moon was greatly angered by Qin Mu before, even storming off.

But where could he go? He just moved to another place to continue watching Qin Mu.

He waited for a day.

He hadn’t waited for the smart system to arrange Qin Mu’s next battle and was about to inquire when he was assigned a new task by the God King.

Send Qin Mu to the 30th floor!

This... clearly involved using special privileges.

Because normal battle progression only goes up 10 floors.

Even a Genius like Lan Chu can only jump 10 floors at a time.

If Qin Mu’s first battle was on the 10th floor, then he could only reach the 20th floor at most.

Howling Moon could also understand why there was such a fast-track.

That little fellow Qin Mu was too arrogant!

He really needed to be taught a lesson~

30th floor!

He had completely left the confines of one Realm; the opponents he faced would no longer be limited to the Qingxuan Realm.

Howling Moon also felt that it was unlikely for any Genius within the Qingxuan Realm to defeat Qin Mu.

Moreover, while the fast-track privilege existed in the hands of God King-level powerhouses, God Kings generally didn’t use it.

Because the smart system would specifically ’take care’ of these fast-tracked contestants.

This ’care’ definitely wasn’t about choosing weaker opponents to let you pass easily; instead, it was about choosing the strongest opponents within the extreme values of the algorithm!

As a result, Qin Mu would completely suffer the critical strikes and crushing from Geniuses of the Universe.

This is good, very suitable~

Within a day, perhaps this little fellow would give up the idea of persisting in multiple Domains.

But now, Qin Mu’s information actually involved the Pinnacle Confidentiality Agreement~?

Howling Moon couldn’t figure it out.

God King had no reason to do this; even a God King, to achieve this step, the price to pay would definitely be astonishing...

For a child, it was really unnecessary.

"Could it be because it involves some information about the smart system itself?"

Howling Moon murmured softly.

"Hiss, now that you mention it, that’s possible!" The General next to him immediately agreed:

"That makes sense; the warning just now didn’t mention Qin Mu’s name. Maybe it’s the delay itself, prohibiting queries and questioning?"

"How about, someone else tries?"

Howling Moon immediately shook his head: "Why are you looking at me? Don’t count on me. You guys pass the privilege to fast-track to the 30th floor, I’m leaving first."

Damn!

It sounds good, but what if it was Qin Mu? If he got involved in the confidentiality agreement, how could he talk to Qin Mu?

At that time, he would have to worry about whether he was leaking secrets every day, wouldn’t that be exhausting?

It’s better not to know. If something really goes wrong, there’s also the life-saving chance of one warning.

As Howling Moon left.

Everyone looked at each other.

No one was willing to waste that incredibly precious warning opportunity.

As for Luan Hai Divine General, he directly checked the fast-track application.

"Everyone, I suddenly had some insights into space-time travel and must immediately go into seclusion. I hereby resign from my position as the supervising General for the Star Shaking Sea in this Pinnacle Battle. Goodbye!"

...Qingxuan City, Starry Sky Arena.

Qin Mu finally received new battle information.

"30th floor?"

"That fast?"

"I was still planning to experiment with new Domains round by round."

...On the other side.

Ling Qianxue and the others also found the information.

"Wow! Wood is awesome!"

"One battle, directly to the 30th floor?"

"So, doesn’t that mean he’ll soon break through the 50th floor?"

"Five million times the odds... hehe~!"

We’re rich, we’re rich~!

This time we’re really going to be rich!!!

Although Ling Qianxue only managed to bet 100 energy stones, it was at five million times the odds.

500 million!

energy stone!

A capital of one thousand, a blood profit of 500 million!

Hahahahaha~

Ling Qianxue already had a picture in her mind.

"Hmph!"

"Wood! Let’s see if you still dare to look down on this girl~!"

Bai Qingyan, on the other hand, was checking Qin Mu’s opponent.

"Nyx, Star River Peak, from Yun Hai Realm..."

Never heard of him.

Wu Po Xing and the others all said they didn’t know where this Phoenix God Realm was.

"This is a contestant from another Star Realm!"

The only thing certain was this.

But this was already enough.

"Senior Brother Qin is going to battle those Geniuses from the Universe!!"

Hehe~!

Ling Qianxue confidently waved her hand: "Wood is a super Genius who went straight to the 30th floor. What Yun Hai Realm, what Universe Genius, he’ll easily take them down."

"Hmph, Halis, just wait to be a slave~"

Halis, not far away, was deep in thought:

"Nyx... why does that name sound a bit familiar?"

"Wait, from Yun Hai Realm!?"

Hiss... Halis’s pupils suddenly constricted: "The headquarters of Star Shaking Sea, Yun Hai Realm! This Nyx, he... he was a Genius of the Pinnacle Battle 200,000 years ago!"

"champion!"

"Nyx was the champion of the Pinnacle Battle hosted by Star Shaking Sea back then!"

Halis pulled up the data, her eyes wide with shock, saying:

"I didn’t expect that after two hundred thousand years, he still hasn’t broken through to Star River Level!"

"But... that shouldn’t be."

"He was the champion back then; now, he should at least be a Universe Level super seed. How could he encounter Qin Mu at such a low level as the 30th floor?"

If it were before, when Qin Mu wasn’t famous, it would be very reasonable.

But now.

Halis felt that Qin Mu’s talent was also Heaven-Defying.

Young and with a low Realm, his talent appeared even more astonishing.

It’s only the 30th floor; the smart system shouldn’t arrange for two seeded players to meet.

"Could it be..."

Halis seemed to recall something... "Is this the price of being fast-tracked?"

"It really is cruel~"

"For both of these Geniuses, it’s very cruel..."

Ling Qianxue and the others listened, completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Halis sighed slightly.

"You don’t know?"

"The Starry Sky Arena’s skip levels only go up to 10 floors. Qin Mu directly reaching the 30th floor is definitely a fast-track."

"And the price of being fast-tracked is to be specially ’taken care of’ by the smart system; the opponents arranged are absolutely the strongest within a reasonable range."

"Two hundred thousand years ago, when Nyx was at the Galaxy Level, he had already comprehended the Space Law and forcefully won the championship!"

"What about now?"

"Perhaps even a normal Star Realm Expert is no match for Nyx. Maybe... he can even fight a Star Realm Peak!"

Holy crap!?

Wu Po Xing and the others were instantly speechless.

Two hundred thousand years ago?

What, what kind of old monster is this!

Star Realm Expert, even those close to gods, are no match for this Nyx... Does that mean he is invincible below the gods?

And Qin Mu... he, he is only at Galaxy Fifth Tier~!

This... "Isn’t this unreasonable?"

"There’s a hidden agenda!"

After hearing this, Ling Qianxue almost swore out loud in her heart.

"Is the Pinnacle Battle just a sore loser?"

"They don’t want to pay the five million times odds, so they deliberately want to crush Qin Mu below the 50th floor?"

That’s right.

The odds!

Ling Qianxue opened the betting interface.

Qin Mu: 1 to 7

Nyx: 1 to 1.40

"Ah?"

"Why is the payout so little..."

Before Ling Qianxue could finish complaining, Halis beside her interjected:

"As long as combat power is displayed once in the Metaverse, the smart system can fully analyze it."

"It seems now that Qin Mu having these odds indeed gives him hope of breaking through the 50th floor, but unfortunately... his opponent is Nyx, and the gap between them is too great..."

Ling Qianxue looked at Qin Mu, then at the odds.
