"Go! Attend the Nirvana Martial Contest!" With a grand gesture, Gu Changsheng announced defiantly, full of heroic spirit.

Everyone trembled upon hearing this.

Diao Chan, reluctantly playing the role of a servant girl, couldn’t help but tremble as well. With hopeful eyes on her, she cautiously reminded, "Sir, you’ll die miserably..."

A Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm is equivalent to an invincible existence!

After the Hidden World Clan sent out the Yu Family and Bai Family’s Primordial Transformative Realm disciples, the position of First in the Nirvana Martial Contest was beyond dispute!

Imagine the situation Gu Changsheng found herself in when she encountered Fufeng Tianlan in the Secluded Valley?

Wasn’t Fufeng Tianlan a Master of the Transformative Realm?

An invincible existence!

When Gu Changsheng heard Diao Chan’s words, her expression could be imagined—she was furious!

"Living gloriously, dying honorably! Even if we die, we must die on the stage, not admit defeat before even stepping onto the stage!" With a grim face, Gu Changsheng sniffed, adopting a bold stance, and with an air of naturalness, adjusted her backpack and said, "Anyway, even if we meet those two from the Yu Family and Bai Family, it’s in the semifinals and finals. Before that, I still have seven or eight days of reprieve! No fear! Let’s first deal with those ahead!"

"What about the ones after that?" Diao Chan immediately interjected.

"If I’m outnumbered, can’t I voluntarily forfeit?" Gu Changsheng furrowed her brow and replied naturally.

Given her current strength, it’s inevitable she can’t beat a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm; do they think she’s stupid enough to seek her own demise?

Moreover, if it weren’t for having her own evildoer and Shi Wujue, who are also Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm, standing behind her, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t be sure whether the thoroughly offended Yu Family and Bai Family would come after her for a bloody showdown!

But none of that matters now!

Because outside, the drumbeats for the Nirvana Martial Contest have sounded three times, and the formal contest is about to start!

According to Gu Changsheng’s calculation, the early elimination rounds are relatively safe for her. After all, the real threats—those six colossuses threatening Gu Changsheng—had all directly advanced to the semifinals!

With this mindset, Gu Changsheng’s group exuberantly headed out of the City Lord’s Mansion!

It’s undeniable; the Hidden World Clan is determined to reclaim their lost face. The Nirvana Martial Contest arena, after refurbishment, is now a circle bigger than before, occupying almost half the plaza outside the City Lord’s Mansion!

If initially, the Nirvana Martial Contest was crowded, after Gu Changsheng caused a stir, with two Primordial Transformative Realm masters competing, the Hidden World Clan’s contest, attracted everyone’s attention!

The entirety of Linyuan City, saying it was deserted, wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

Moreover, even the outer floors of the City Lord’s Mansion were covered with a dense crowd, including guards and the Dark Night Army, all standing on the lookout tower and watching the stage in the plaza!

Gu Changsheng noticed her subordinates among the bystanders, her expression was imaginable!

Really disheartening!

But what can be done? She’s already left, and surely can’t retreat now?

What would that look like? If spread, she would be laughed at by the world!

It’s not scary to lose face; losing the prestige of the Southern Emperor, she’d be scolded to death by the old ministers of the Southern Country!

Glory of a champion, who dares challenge!

She’s already at the brink of the pit she dug for herself, with no retreat!

She must step onto the stage of the Nirvana Martial Contest to win the contest, preventing the Hidden World Clan from crushing her beneath their feet!

Fighting for honor, Gu Changsheng clenched her fist, leading the exuberant crowd as they headed straight for the Nirvana Martial Contest stage!

"Heavens! Southern Emperor! Look, that’s the Southern Emperor! She’s actually here to compete in the Nirvana Martial Contest?"

"Isn’t the Southern Emperor afraid? With her status, not participating, the Hidden World Clan couldn’t utter a word. But if she competes, atop the stage are two unparalleled prodigies capable of defeating Masters of the Transformative Realm!"

"It’s over, it’s over! The Southern Emperor not competing was fine, but with her competing now, she’ll certainly face humbling defeat under the Hidden World Clan! Her newly established prestige might be completely shattered!"

"This Hidden World Clan has enough nerve; they’re convinced the Southern Emperor has the grandeur of a king and won’t target them after losing the Nirvana Martial Contest, thus sending out Primordial Transformative Realm masters to shame the Southern Emperor!"

"..."

Gu Changsheng’s appearance immediately ignited the atmosphere of the entire plaza!

The explosive effect equaled that of a time bomb thrown into already turbulent waters, instantly stirring mighty waves, wouldn’t you say?

Swept by these waves, as the creator, Gu Changsheng, hearing the whispers around her, was inwardly fuming!

Damn it!

What does it mean she has the grandeur of a king?

What’s the grandeur of a king anyway?

Does Gu Changsheng have it? Does she?

She doesn’t have it, okay?

Talking as if she can afford to lose!

Eyes firmly fixed on the already placed special platforms on stage, Gu Changsheng squinted slightly, her eyes glinting with a cold light.

Damn it, don’t be so arrogant; the outcome is yet uncertain!

Also, don’t expect her to possess kingly grandeur. If irritated, forget grandeur; she won’t even be human!
