Chapter 1024: Chapter 554: Entering the Finals! A Brand New World, Fourth Yuan Heaven!

Even from a very remote distance, many supreme geniuses with powerful pupil skills or ancient prodigies could see Jiang Shu talking with the woman behind him.

"Is that the Jiang Shu who has been praised to the skies by Wind Cloud Pride?"

"It should be him. Although there’s nothing extraordinary about his appearance, just standing there, he seems like an unshakable mountain."

Ancient prodigies from powerful factions exchanged thoughts.

With the emergence of the opportunities in the Deep Space Sea, countless pieces of information were constantly being updated.

Jiang Shu’s name spread from the small Jiuyu Commerce Alliance to the entire Inner Circle of the Star Ruins Realm. Although not everyone knows about him, among the younger generation, no one is unaware of the supreme genius who could hold his own against Wind Cloud Pride.

"Indeed, he’s extraordinary. I heard that the force backing him is an outsider from a place called Jiuyu Commerce Alliance and that through some so-called selection contest he got to meet us."

"Why not take this opportunity to pull him to our side?"

These ancient prodigies were each outstanding figures in their era, and some were considered unbeatable, self-sealing because they could find no worthy opponents.

However, this is an era of great contention where geniuses abound. The younger generation of today is presenting numerous breathtaking talents, comparable even to them.

Jiang Shu is the most dazzling among them.

Everyone wants to bring him into their own faction.

This is an excellent opportunity.

"Whatever we can think of, Wind Cloud Pride can naturally think of too."

"Which of the two isn’t a genius? It’s only their warlike nature that conceals it. Let’s not forget what role their fathers play."

"I vaguely heard some news: the two of them have already seized the opportunity to have Jiang Shu join the War Alliance, enjoying the same treatment as them. This move is not insignificant, and at least the old folks backing me wouldn’t agree."

The father of Wind Cloud Pride, the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the War Alliance, is known as someone whose strategies never fail. Any power caught in his sights can disappear in a wave of his hand.

And it’s precisely because of such a figure that a group of warriors, known only for fighting, can stand at the peak of the cosmos.

"Even if we can’t recruit him, we should at least not become enemies."

"Someone who can hold his own against Wind Cloud Pride isn’t someone we can handle."

As he spoke, this ancient prodigy remembered his own embarrassing sight of being beaten to the ground by Wind Cloud Pride in his youth, and couldn’t help but sigh.

However, not all ancient prodigies held goodwill towards Jiang Shu; many still watched in secret.

"What kind of figures are Wind Cloud Pride and Jiang Shu? Both in talent and background, they are among the top in the cosmos. They have self-sealed for several eras, reigning unchallenged."

"How could a figure rising from a small place possibly be a match for them?"

"In my opinion, he’s just a puppet pushed to the forefront by Wind Cloud Pride to draw the attention of others while they plot in secret to seize the grand opportunity in the Deep Space Sea."

"So be it, when the day comes for Jiang Shu to meet me, will be the day his so-called legend crumbles."

The speaker was full of confidence, seemingly convinced that Jiang Shu was no match for him.

On the edge of this massive planet, there were thousands of stars of varying sizes surrounding and guarding it. Powerful forces piloted star sky battleships to land on different planets; this was their stationing ground in the Chaos Star Domain.

Although Jiuyu Commerce Alliance had not yet truly established a foothold in the Inner Circle, its hard power was not much weaker than some forces within it, thus earning a medium-sized planet.

As the multitude of star sky battleships parted, Jiang Shu could feel countless gazes focused on him, with varied emotions such as jealousy and envy.

He had long grown accustomed to such looks.

Throughout history, those who acquired monumental opportunities were invariably powerful prodigies favored by the world.

In the long river of time, innumerable supreme experts have risen from obscurity, writing their own brilliance.

They are idolized by young people from weaker backgrounds who believe that it’s merely their lack of extraordinary heritage; with a little guidance, they can leap like a carp over the dragon gate, soaring into the sky.

Thus, they put forth their utmost effort, even if it means exhausting their resources to buy a ticket to the Chaos Star Domain, embarking on their journey with dreams in tow.

They saw those supreme geniuses from powerful backgrounds and ancient prodigies and witnessed their power. Many had already perished at their hands.

"I was born in an era of great contention; this is the best time. As long as I practice diligently, I’m destined to reach the peak and overlook the cosmic vicissitudes."

"By that time, not to mention supreme geniuses, even those powerful forces will have to crawl at my feet."

They secretly encouraged themselves in their hearts.

Meanwhile, a blur crossed their vision, and a young man in white suddenly stood not far ahead of them.

He merely stood simply in the center of the crowd, yet seemed like an ancient mountain pressing on their hearts.

"Is this... Jiang Shu?!"

The name Jiang Shu carried a great weight in their minds.

Like them, Jiang Shu had risen from a small place to achieve what he had.
