Black Tortoise Galaxy~
Black Warrior Institute~
A month passed…
Thousands of people have gathered within a massive square that expanded for thousands of miles long wide. The Black Warrior Institute had prepared this massive square years ago because this time, they will be to host the Highgod Advancement Tournament this time around.
Up on the square head, there sat Silver looking bored while looking at everyone down below. 'When are they going to start? They have already finished the test for bone age days ago. Damn Shi Fen inviting and making me sit here when they haven't begun yet. Just how long am I going to wait. And what the hell am even doing here? Sitting above everyone?' he thought.
When the newcomers saw Shi Fen inviting Silver to the seat at the highest place, everyone was curious and seeing how polite Shi Fen and even the Grand Elders even the Eminent Elders from the Black Tortoise Institute greet Silver when they saw him even got more curious.
The women seeing the handsome Silver all stared at him, not wanting to look at other else while talking that they would do anything just to get to know him.
When the Azure, Vermillion, White Tiger Institute Principal's, Sect Head's, and Superpowers from the others Galaxies saw Silver sit at the highest chair just above them, they asked Shi Fen who he is.
When Shi Fen told them who Silver is, they sweated bullets and hurriedly stood up and greeted Silver. Silver just greeted them casually, seemingly not interested in talking to them. When everyone saw the other three Institute Principal's, the various Sect Head's, and the Superpowers from other Galaxies' Head greeted Silver, they have grown more curious.
Of course, these people have heard of what Silver did a month ago with exaggerated rumors spreading and seeing him in person made them fear him and wouldn't want to offend him for any reasons.
In the cultivation world, there is a saying, and that is, 'Might is Right' 'The strong prey the weak' and many others.
The crowd down below who saw what Silver did before. Started getting more awed at Silver, from fan to idol, from an idol to 'Dream Husband' but that only applied to the women, while the men didn't know what to think.
Rumors spread, and not long after, everyone heard just who and what Silver did and what he is capable of. Everyone looked at Silver with a bright gleam on their eyes.
"Shi Fen, when will the tournament begin?" asked Silver who's bored at waiting.
"Just a little while more, we're still not done preparing the transmission array," said Silver.
"Transmission array?" Silver looked at the square and saw people arranging something that looked like a magic circle. Seeing that, Silver teleported to it, and with his {Space Ability} he finished it in no time. He then said, "There, done, you guys can now begin" as he teleported back to his seat right after.
Everyone, the hundreds of thousands, if not a million, of people stared at Silver, thinking, 'You could even do that?!'
With Silver's mastery over space along with his comprehension that is at the peak, he could even teleport everyone on the square anywhere, if he wanted to.
"Alright," said Shi Fen.
Standing up on his seat, Shi Fen declared in a loud voice for everyone to hear. "As you all know, we the Black Warrior Institute is the one to host the Highgod Advancement Tournament! We of the Black Warrior, Azure Dragon, Vermillion, White Tiger Institute Principal's had agreed earlier that we will raise the rewards for the first place! We will add a Mid-Rank Four Godhead for the first place!"
A-a-a-a rank four Godhead!
Gasp!
It shocked everyone when they heard what Shi Fen said, even Feng Yang his personal disciple didn't know about it.
A mid-grade four Godhead ah!
---------—
(A Godhead could help someone cultivate or even help at strengthening their soul. Only those who broke through the Highgod Realm could condense a Godhead. When someone is at the peak of God Realm, they would condense a Godhead as they break through the Highgod Realm. One's Godhead will tell just what kind of realm one could reach in their entire life and also their cultivation speed.
There are thirteen ranks for a Godhead. Rank one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and finally the last three which those who could condense the above three are called Superb Genius. Those three ranks are King Rank, Emperor Rank, and last, Supreme Rank Godhead.
Condensing a Godhead depends on the soul, the purer a soul and a stronger one could condense, it would also decide which Godhead Rank they could condense. It also had to do with one's Martial Spirit. The stronger one's martial spirit would decide the talent one has. A Godhead decides everyone's cultivation limit on the future; One could use external items to help strengthen a soul like a Godhead, but a Godhead could also be used to help one cultivate.
Each Godhead also have a sub-grading, they are, low, mid, high, and top)
--------—
As Shi Fen finished his speech, he sent his will onto his spatial/storage ring and took out a Godhead. When everyone saw that, the participants grew excited, clenching their fist tight hoping to become the lucky first place winner.
Silver seeing that, he shouted. "AH! A SHINY STONE!"
"This is called a Godhead, Silver," said She Fen then put the Godhead back to his spatial/storage ring.
"So they are called Godhead, I have billions of those. But the ones I have only numbers from 9 to Supreme thing," said Silver as he took out a top-grade nine Godhead. The Godhead Silver took out is as large as 99,999 meters in a circle.
Everyone hearing what Silver said and seeing the big Godhead floating above his head, everyone were all left dumbfounded.
A top-grade rank nine Godhead!
Wait!
Didn't he just said that he has billions of those?!
Rank nine to a Supreme Godhead?!
Just who is this guy to possess such treasures!
Everyone thought.
Greed filled the eyes of everyone on the massive square, all staring at the Godhead floating at the top of Silver's head shinning brightly.
"See it's a 'Shiny Stone'" said Silver.
When everyone heard his voice, they came back to their senses. If Silver didn't speak, the massive square would have already turned into a bloody battlefield.

A month ago…
When Yang Yi left Silver after slapping him hard, Silver didn't know what to do. But to his experience and after some thinking, he chased after Yang Yi and talked to her, calming her down while explaining that he misunderstood what she meant.
After some explaining, Yang Yi finally forgave Silver.
After that, Silver invited Yang Yi to go and eat, to which Yang Yi couldn't decline.
Talking about this and that. The two spent their time together for two weeks, but Yang Yi didn't forget to cultivate. In the evening, she would cultivate and on the morning, she would spend her time with Silver, touring around the Black Warrior City while buying things here and there. Silver made trillions of Xuanwu coins after seeing one from Yang Yi and they ended up spending it all out. But not really, Silver made quadrillions of it which would never go down below that number or might just increase in number.
After two weeks of being together, Yang Yi didn't feel right when she wasn't with Silver. 'Why am I feeling like this?' she thought as she put her palm on her chest area above the heart. When Yang Yi was with Silver, she felt safe, warmth, happy, and when she wasn't with him, she felt uneasy, feeling that something is not right. Something is missing.
Not knowing what she was feeling, she went to Silver's place that's being guarded by the Black Warrior Institute disciples.
(Silver went to Shi Fen and told him he needed workers with the pay of 100 Divine Grade spirit stones a year (A year is nothing for a cultivator in this world. It's just a blink of an eye, so they say). That is because Silver's place became a big-time place for those who tasted his beer and as rumors spread, more and more customers are coming. With the seemingly not ending flow of customers, Silver made his place (Beer House) open for 24 hours a day. Earning a lot of Grade Spirit stones in the process that he doesn't need. But who is he? He is Silver, the Beer God! He wanted to spread beer to the cultivation world, and that dream is finally slowly coming into a reality.)
When Yang Yi reached the place, the Black Warrior disciples didn't hinder her way and welcomed her warmly.
These disciples knew how close Silver and Yang Yi are because for the past two weeks, every morning to dust, Yang Yi and Silver are together.
"Where is he?" asked Yang Yi.
"Lady Yang Yi, the owner is at the main bar. He said he will create more beers and cigarettes to be sold" answered a disciple.
"Okay," said Yang Yi and flew towards the main bar located at the center.
As she flew and reached the place, she saw Silver out of the main bar. Seeing Silver, she smiled a sweet angelic smile and flew down towards Silver.
"Yang Yi, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to cultivate?" asked Silver.
"I…" Yang Yi didn't know what to say.
"Hmm? Want to have a drink? I'm just on my way to go anyway," invited Silver.
"This… Alright," answered Yang Yi with a nod.
Proceeding to walk where Silver made a house on the middle part of a massive tree that Silver created and also made 'modern lights', both flew up.
Silver then made beers for the two of them and asked, "What dish would you like this time?"
"'That' soup," said Yang Yi.
"The 'Bulalo' or the 'Bitter Beef Soup'?" asked Silver.
"The 'Bulalo'" answered Yang Yi.
"Alright," said Silver.
Buying a freshly cooked 'Bulalo' from the system for 10 System Points, he then served the dish on the table on a not so large white bowl.
Creating a small bowl and filling it with soup and some meat, Silver handed it over to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi felt that the something missing wasn't there when she's with Silver. 'What is this feeling' she thought.
The night deepened as the two talked and drink. Feeling the emptiness Yang Yi is not there anymore, she ended up sleeping at Silver's place.
And that continued for the next two weeks before the tournament began.
Within the time Yang Yi spent at Silver's place, she reached the peak late ninth order God Realm with the help of the stone Silver gave him and stayed cultivating to make her Qi stable.
When Silver has nothing to do, he would check his inventory.
Every time he checks, the number of the Chaos Stones would always just keep increasing every second, sometimes a hundred, sometimes a thousand, even a million sometimes. When he saw the shiny stones (Godheads) numbering in 16 billion and counting that is divided by column having a number from nine to ten, then king, emperor, and supreme, Silver asked his system what they are and the system told him they are all Godheads of those who died at the 'Great War of all' in Immemorial time that his scouring clones found in the Immemorial Universe and still counting.
The system told him that he could use them for his cultivation and could use to temper his soul since they are formed by condensing Godheads of the Immemorial cultivators.
Silver then spent his free time checking his inventory each one, item by item and found out he could use most to cultivate and the others to create artifacts/weapons.
-------------—
Back to present…
"Since I have many of these 'shiny stones'. I've decided, I will gift this stone to the one who would win first place" said Silver.
Everyone cheered, the earth rumbled with everyone's cheering and saying their thanks to Silver.
"If you want it, go and take first place" declared Silver.
Not knowing what the tournament rules are.
When Silver said that, all the taking part cultivators entered the transmission array, excited and with their fighting spirits to the peak.
----------—
An hour later, when the thousands of participants finally entered the battlefield,
Silver then opened a portal and saw all the participants, while everyone on the square waiting for the outcome could also watch everyone's progress.
Silver got shocked seeing what the participants are doing, he asked.
"Hey… Why are they killing each other?"
