Today's first update: Chapter 3525! 1/4!
From stubbornly sprouting within the Wildlands, they had embarked on this journey of defying the myriad races and growing through battle. No matter what desperate straits they encountered or what crises they faced, every Huang Race citizen held an indelible belief carved into their heart: there was no need to look back, nor any need for despair, because the Huang Lord's gaze was always upon them, and the Huang Lord's power would forever be their staunchest support!
But now, Xu Kun knew it was time to make a change.
In the land of the Final Saint War, where the rules were unique and opportunity coexisted with death, he could not—and should not—continue protecting every team in every little detail as he had before.
Everyone had to rely on their own strength, wisdom, and will to struggle, to fight, and to seize the opportunities and fortunes that belonged to them at the brink of life and death!
This was not indifference. It was the cruel yet magnificent coming-of-age ceremony that a truly powerful race had to undergo.
If Xu Kun, as the Huang Race's patriarch, had devoted himself wholeheartedly to "protection" during the Second Tier War, then with the arrival of the Third Tier War, what he needed to do was... let go!
With that resolve in mind, Xu Kun began to focus, selecting the recipients of the nine thousand eight hundred incomparably precious Final Saint War slots according to the third-stage development blueprint he had planned for the Huang Race.
Though the number of slots was already staggering enough to make countless races envious, compared to the Huang Race's enormous population, which had now surpassed four hundred million, fewer than ten thousand places still meant far too many contenders for too few spots.
