488 The World Hegemony Begins!

After resting in the hall for half an hour, the clock finally reached midnight.

[A new day. You have gained 3 hours before your descent.]

[The Great Thousand event ‘World Hegemony’ has officially begun!]

[Players from various supercontinents are randomly entering…]

[…]

Ignoring the series of information such as high-grade Night Stones and the daily income of resources from the supercontinent, Ling Yi cast his gaze on the words ‘Global Hegemony.

‘I’m going to the True God Trials to increase my life force, and in order to enter this trial, my deity position needs to reach the maximum level.’

‘That means I need a large amount of divine essence.’

The competition for the hegemony of the entire realm was a large-scale event in the Great Thousand Universe. As far as he knew, as long as one performed well, they would be able to obtain a large number of divine essences in this event.

Hence, he really wanted to participate in this event.

“Although the ‘World Hegemony’ is similar to the hundred realm war, and the players are randomly selected to enter the arena, the players can still spend guard points to select the strong players from all realms to enter.” Lin Xian said slowly, as if she already knew what Ling Yi was thinking about.

She opened the interface of the World Hegemony and saw that the players were still being randomly selected. She said, “Currently, there are more than 700 supercontinents in the entire universe. This event will be carried out in units of supercontinents.”

“A million players will be randomly selected from the hundred worlds in each supercontinent. On average, there are about ten thousand people in each world.”

Ling Yi nodded in understanding and asked, “What about the reward? What was the basis of the reward? Defense time?”

He had a simple understanding of the event but didn’t remember it in detail.

“The main rewards are divided into two parts. One is the overall reward given according to the length of defense, and the other is the individual reward according to the number of enemies killed. These rewards are all divine essences. Then, the supercontinent with the most number of enemies killed will also get an extra reward, ‘Heart of Continent’.” Lin Xian said unhurriedly.

“Oh, oh, oh. I understand. I just need to kill them when I go in.”

“Yes,”

After a while, a notification popped up in front of them.

[Random selection completed. Event begins!]

Unsurprisingly, the three people in the living room were not selected.

He opened the event interface, and the initial view was naturally the scene where the crystal of the Pangu Supercontinent was.

A sky-blue diamond-shaped crystal that was about 100 meters tall and 10 meters in the air could be seen in the center of the screen.

If one were to zoom out, one could clearly see that it was a vast valley. Only three winding ravines led to this place, each of which was about a kilometer wide.

The mountains were vast, the peaks were steep, the trees were green, and birds and beasts were flying.

“This map is quite simple. It even has a bit of primitive aura.” Ling Yi commented.

“Yes.” Lin Shurou agreed.

The three of them continued to look at the interface in front of them, but they saw that the group of players who had entered seemed to have suddenly received some kind of notification, and each of them had a surprised look on their face.

After Ling Yi zoomed in, the voice from the image also came out.

“What the—? I can summon a player for free before the start?”

“How come I’ve never seen this before?”

“A new function that suddenly appeared? Has the event been perfected? Why is there no news about this at all?”

“No, no, no. There must be something wrong. Something must have happened between the last ‘World Hegemony’ and this ‘World Hegemony’!”

“Recently, only 01 has been heaven-defying, right? There’s only one last level left on the Heavenly Ranking.”

“…”

Hearing their discussion, Lin Xian’s eyes brightened. She looked at Ling Yi and said happily, “Oh? It sounds like they can choose one of their players to go to the arena now.”

“You have a lot of hope… No. The players on Pangu Supercontinent will definitely choose you.”

“Haha, that’s for sure.”

Ling Yi was very confident in this.

Lin Xian nodded her head, but soon after, she frowned and asked, “There was no such thing in the previous ‘World Hegemony’… But the function appeared now…… Although I don’t know the reason, a similar situation might occur in the future Great Thousand World events.”

“There’s too much change.”

Lin Shurou raised her head and smiled sweetly at him. “That’s great. The earlier you enter, the more rewards you’ll receive. Now that this function has suddenly appeared, it’s just like how God’s Path hopes that you can quickly pass through the 18th floor and this is their way of helping you.”

“Ah, hahaha, maybe.”

Ling Yi didn’t pay much attention to it because a message had already appeared in front of him.

[World Conquest: You have been chosen. Do you wish to descend?]

“I’ve been chosen. Should I leave?”

“Yes!” Lin Shurou nodded vigorously.

The next moment, after Ling Yi agreed, his figure was taken away by a beam of light that shot down from the sky.

Seeing this, Lin Shurou heaved a sigh of relief. She leaned over and lay down on the sofa.

“Are you tired?” Lin Xian asked with concern.

“I’m not tired. I’m a little sleepy,”

“Then go to sleep.”

“No, I want to watch him.”

As she spoke, Lin Shurou locked her sight on Ling Yi, who had just entered.

…

Next to the crystal on Pangu Supercontinent.

When a blazing beam of light shot down from the sky and landed on the ground beside the crystal, the surrounding players were stunned for a moment before they revealed excited expressions.

“He’s coming, he’s coming! The strongest man in the universe is about to appear!”

“Ling Yi is coming!”

“Hahaha! We’re so lucky to be on the same supercontinent as Earth!”

“Yeah…”

Just as everyone expected, when the red light dissipated, the human figure inside was Ling Yi.

When he opened his eyes and looked around, the players around him shouted excitedly, “Boss 01!!”

“Big Boss, Big Boss!”

Ling Yi had already expected this. He smiled and nodded at the enthusiastic players.

Then, he lifted his foot and took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared.

No one saw where he had gone.

“The Big Boss must have gone to the central square.” Someone guessed.

“There’s no need to guess. This is almost certain. Last time, during the ‘Demonic God Descended’ event, he also ran to block the gate. He’ll probably do the same this time.”

“I think we can sleep here. The monsters can’t come inside.”

“Hahaha…”

Just as everyone had expected, Ling Yi had indeed arrived at the central square.

He had a brief understanding of the World Hegemony event before.

The monsters appeared from the central square in the middle, and then entered the valley of the crystal through the various portals on the edge of the square. They then poured into the crystal valley through the three Valleys.

Therefore, as long as he was beside the teleportation gate, he could ‘block the gate’.

Ling Yi only came to this public square because he wanted to kill more divine breath creatures.

“It’s not enough to just kill the monsters that are rushing into our portal. It would be best if we can kill the monsters that are rushing to other portals.”

This kind of operation had already been done in the previous World Hegemony, so it was indeed feasible.

There was a huge black hole in the middle of the square. According to what Ling Yi knew, all the demonic creatures came out from there.

Around the black hole, there were eight black towers about 100 meters tall. A dark purple energy ball was suspended at the top of each tower-those were the towers of destruction, which would automatically attack nearby players.
