Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 96: The Divine Kingdom Tournament Begins, 10,800 Arenas!

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Divine Kingdom Tournament Begins, 10,800 Arenas!

Since the announcement of the Divine Kingdom appeared, the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court has become much more active, sparking a hot trend in cultivation.

Everyone wants to stand out in the Divine Kingdom competition, receive the corresponding rewards, and ideally, gain the favor of that Divine Emperor, thus reaching the pinnacle of life.

For many, this year has been extremely torturous.

They are waiting every moment, waiting for the true commencement of the Divine Kingdom competition.

And on this day.

A majestic voice emerged in everyone’s heart.

"The Divine Kingdom competition will start in one hour. Would you like to enter the Divine Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this voice, many people were momentarily stunned, then hastily gave their answer.

"Yes!"

As everyone’s thoughts settled, they only felt the world spin around them, and by the time they came to their senses, they had already appeared in a vast arena.

All around the arena, rows of seats were arranged, and with the appearance of divine light, individuals abruptly appeared on the seats.

Looking around.

In an instant, it became a sea of people, the noisy sounds invading their ears, giving an extremely real feeling.

Meanwhile.

In the middle of the arena, there were numerous platforms, so dense that the number could not be counted at a glance.

"Is this the Divine Kingdom?"

"What a miraculous place, capable of accommodating so many people!"

Someone looked down at themselves, then at the surrounding sea of people, momentarily unable to distinguish their current state.

There were naturally more than one person experiencing such confusion.

"Such a real feeling, perfectly simulating my entire physical body!"

On a certain seat, Shen Xue, wearing a white long dress and appearing dignified, had a stunningly beautiful but calm face, though her heart was somewhat baffled.

Mages are naturally gifted with strong spiritual power, and after breaking through to become a fourth-tier superior mage, Shen Xue’s spiritual power had become terrifyingly strong.

Under her keen spiritual perception, she clearly noticed that she hadn’t entered the Divine Kingdom in her true body, but was merely a strand of spiritual thought drawn here.

Nevertheless, the physical body constructed by just a strand of spiritual thought was indistinguishable from her real self. Such a transformation naturally shocked Shen Xue.

At this moment.

Shen Xue’s awe and respect for the mysterious and unpredictable Divine Emperor deepened further.

Then, Shen Xue surveyed the surroundings and noticed that all the people seated around belonged to mages from the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

"It appears that entering the Divine Kingdom is not random; those belonging to the same force are arranged together!"

Shen Xue thought to herself.

The Snow Mountain Holy Hall is not just any other force; it was established by her over ten years ago, similar to a sect.

This organization only recruited mages, or rather, only cultivated mages.

Relying on her fourth-tier mage strength and the advantage of her Magic Spirit Divine Body, Shen Xue created a powerful meditation technique and numerous potent spells.

These meditation techniques and spells became the foundation of the entire Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

In the current era, obtaining contributions is exceedingly difficult, and ordinary cultivators have no way to exchange for cultivation techniques, making joining various sect organizations the primary choice.

Although the Cyan Yang Divine Court also created the Cyan Yang Divine Scripture to spread teachings across the world,

compared to the techniques created by sects which also provide specialized guidance from strong individuals, the Cyan Yang Divine Scripture inevitably has some disadvantages.

...

As one person after another appeared inside the Divine Kingdom, the vast arena seemed never to be filled, no matter how many people appeared, it could accommodate them perfectly.

At the moment the last person appeared, the yellow clouds drifting in the sky gathered, manifesting the shadow of the Azure Celestial Divine Tree occupying the void, its robust branches filled with endless Dao Rhyme, the lush green leaves radiating divine light, involuntarily inspiring a sense of reverence in everyone’s hearts.

"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"

The moment the Azure Celestial Divine Tree appeared, everyone stood up simultaneously, bowing to it, awe reverberating in their eyes.

Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang!

These five words had already deeply ingrained themselves in people’s hearts.

Everyone understood that the essence of the Divine Emperor was an Azure Celestial Divine Tree growing in the Kunlun Divine Realm, later establishing the Divine Kingdom chat group, spreading teachings worldwide, saving the human race from peril.

Afterwards, he repelled an Otherworld invasion, founded the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and thus was universally honored as the Divine Emperor.

This was the supreme powerhouse of the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court, and even the entire Cyan Yang Realm, a truly invincible existence.

In the past,

Gu Fang was acclaimed as the strongest in the Divine Court, revered by people as the War God.

The fundamental reason was that no one included Gu Qingyang in the list.

In their view, the Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang transcended all others, and no one was qualified to stand alongside him, nor qualify to rank him among others.

To rank Gu Qingyang first and have others follow was deemed an insult to him.

However, the name of the Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang had deeply implanted itself in people’s hearts, yet since the emergence of the Kunlun Divine Realm, very few had truly seen the countenance of the Divine Emperor.

Especially those born after the creation of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, their understanding of Gu Qingyang’s image was solely through videos and written descriptions.

But no matter how vivid videos and texts are, they cannot compare to seeing with one’s own eyes.

At this moment, the manifestation of the Divine Tree’s shadow, and the overwhelming aura of heavenly majesty it emitted, made even fourth-tier consummate powerhouses feel insignificantly small, like ants.

At this moment.

In the center of the Azure Celestial Divine Tree, the figure of a young man in cyan robes coalesced, a calm voice containing an awe-inspiring majesty, clearly transmitted to every person’s ear.

"The Divine Kingdom competition is about to begin; all those who have entered the Divine Kingdom are deemed participants in this battle. Before you are 10,800 platforms, with opponents matched randomly among cultivators of the same stage.

Additionally, you have all entered the Divine Kingdom with part of your Divine Soul, so even if you fall here, you won’t truly die.

Any cultivator who ranks in the top one hundred of any stage will receive corresponding rewards!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone displayed excited expressions, their faces filled with a strong sense of anticipation.

With 10,800 platforms, all the Divine Court cultivators now gathered here, it was truly an unprecedented spectacle; even if one could not rank in the top one hundred, witnessing such an event would be worthwhile in this life.

Moreover,

with the Divine Soul entering the Divine Kingdom, even falling in battle wouldn’t lead to actual death, allowing everyone to fight with full abandon.

As Gu Qingyang’s voice fell, the shadow of the Azure Celestial Divine Tree covering the sky dissipated, and then many individuals on the seats turned into flowing light and vanished. In the next instant, the empty platforms were filled with corresponding figures.

On each of the 10,800 platforms, there were two people, indicating that the Divine Kingdom competition had officially begun.

Without much exchange of words.

Some platforms had already erupted into intense battles.

Within the Kunlun Divine Realm, Gu Qingyang silently watched the battles on the Divine Kingdom platforms.

"The Cyan Yang Divine Court’s thirty years of accumulated foundation finally reached a time of harvest; I hope you won’t disappoint me!"
