"Line up one by one," Li Changzhou laughed, "I'll make sure to entertain you after I kill Corpse Bone Gene!"

"Let's prove who is the prey and who is the Hunter." Corpse Bone Gene's tone remained calm and cold, showing no emotion even when rejected.

"Interesting, interesting!" The Wind of the Ages clapped, "I really want to join you in the tournament, I've never fought anyone in my life, just boasted my way to Saint."

"..."

"Hmm? The number has reached one million? Okay, chat ends here, let me explain the rules of the arena. You all better listen carefully." The Wind of the Ages pointed forward with a finger.

A million Players felt a finger pointing at them.

"Once the competition starts, you will be deployed into various worlds, each world with two teams, competing against each other, and the side completing the task wins, the loser gets eliminated directly."

"To withdraw, you must return to the end of the Heavenly Road after completing the task, otherwise, no means can leave the task world."

After announcing the rules, the Wind of the Ages raised his head and blew lightly towards the sky.

At the end of the Heavenly Road, Players atop the peak looked up, the previously empty sky now sparkled with stars.

"The Heavenly Will on the Heavenly Road has been blown over by me, ranked differently according to Level, the more you win, the higher your Heavenly Peak, the more Heavenly Will you can pluck, remaining among the ten strongest Heavenly Will inside, includes eight."

Eight remaining?

The black and white fish fused with [Time], where did one go?

As one of the ten strongest Heavenly Will, once fused, its rank is certainly not low, at least it should be stronger than Li Changzhou, and only Corpse Bone Gene is stronger than Li Changzhou.

But there are other possibilities.

For example, this one of the ten strongest Heavenly Will fell into the hands of someone with a Heavenly Position.

It could also be in the hands of a powerful Spirit Seed, but due to misalignment with personal beliefs, worried about being trapped by Heavenly Will, etc., it hasn't fused.

No matter the reason, this Heavenly Will will definitely appear in the competition, and if unable to obtain the strongest Heavenly Will before encountering it, it might end in disaster.

"Alright, you can go back now."

The Wind of the Ages waved and blew away five Players.

Words appeared on the Stele.

[Competition Start]

Before everyone could react, the mountain peak plunged down, suddenly sinking into the sea of clouds.

The Knights and others lied flat on the ground directly, even Li Qianxia posed like Spiderman, supporting herself with one hand.

The rapid descent, yet felt like elevation, the strong pressure caught everyone off guard, almost reduced to mere mortals.

The Primordial Divine Tree appeared behind Li Changzhou, its crown spread open, and the pressure on everyone disappeared completely.

"What terrifying Strength." The little Martial Saint said, heart palpitating.

"We Immortals, Earth Immortals, are no different than mortals in the face of Heaven and Earth." Flowers Fairy sighed.

"But still going to other worlds to complete tasks? I thought the arena was about fighting." Li Qianxia dusted off her hands and stood up.

"The Value game demands 'Ability', martial prowess is just one aspect." Yang Qinglan explained gently, standing under the tree, her posture slender, breathtakingly beautiful.

As they descended, words appeared on the Stele.

[World locked, code:9966]

[Task: Protect task target 'Jiutiao Meiji' from any harm until 9:12 PM Japan time on May 10]

[Limit 1: Players only retain the physical limits of 21st-century Earth Humans]

[Limit 2: Extraordinary Skill banned, each enemy player killed unlocks one Skill]

[Limit 3: Extraordinary Tools banned, each enemy player killed unlocks one Tool]

[Task Requirement: Must not be observed by 'Jiutiao Meiji', once observed, the Player is directly erased]

Descent suddenly stopped, everyone regained their senses to find themselves standing on the ground.

Surrounding them were modern Earth-style buildings, their clothing replaced with contemporary attire.

The sky was blue, the white clouds like carefully painted strokes by a painter.

They stood beside a river, possibly a sea, currently unknown.

On the river were cruisers, the cool breeze lifted tourists' clothing and hair, a great vacation spot.

"This isn't Japan." Li Qianxia looked around, "According to the task information, it should be Japan."

"Japan?" Supreme True Demon puzzled.

After ascending the mountaintop, he also became a Player.

"Brother, Teleportation, oh, can't use Teleportation, Witch, you explain, even Sister Fairies don't understand." Li Qianxia said.

"Yes." The Witch started to explain quietly.

Though the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess and others understood modernity, only Xia Country thoroughly delved into understanding, and they listened attentively.

"Feels familiar," Turquoise Pool mused, "I think I've been here, seems like Hamburg, Germany."

"Hamburg?"

"A city's name, indeed translated as 'Hamburg', Germany's most important seaport and largest foreign trade center."

"That's odd." Li Qianxia puzzled, "Jiutiao Meiji, being Japanese, why is she in Germany? Tourism? A study trip?"

Yang Qinglan pondered: "To become a task target, certainly unusual, maybe a spy, a politician, or someone alike."

Someone walked by, playing with their phone while walking, Li Changzhou glanced.

Only saw the time, 10:23 AM.

This is German time, unknown the corresponding time in Japan.

"But I'm quite relieved." Li Qianxia crossed her arms, B turning into C, "The system assigning us a protection task implies we're on the side of Good, big bro killed billions and still got forgiven."

"A hundred...!!" The little Martial Saint almost lost his breath.
