Outside Contending Mountain, there was a sea of people.
At a glance, heads packed the land in a vast black mass.
It was as though cultivators scattered throughout the Original World Nine Heavens had all gathered here.
And as time passed, more and more cultivators continued to arrive.
The River of Destiny Origin was simply too vast. Each of the Four Great Celestial Domains was boundless, and those who could afford to spend a Hun Yuan Coin to come to the Original World were only a tiny minority.
Yet when gathered together, their numbers were still enormous.
Of course, that was only relative.
When Su Yi won three consecutive matches, a bell rang from the Contending Platform atop Contending Mountain.
The bell was vast and ethereal, echoing between heaven and earth so clearly that everyone in every direction could hear it.
A stir immediately erupted throughout the crowd.
"That fellow surnamed Su, that Fate Officer, has actually won three consecutive battles against opponents of the same realm!"
"Is that surprising? Not at all. It would be truly surprising if he couldn't manage even that."
"That's true. He is the Fate Officer whom the Five Great Heaven Condemned God Races regard as a target they must kill!"
...Discussion continued without end. No one was particularly shocked; instead, they felt it was only natural.
After all, the one undergoing the trial was the only Fate Officer in the world.
In the area at the very front of Contending Mountain, the Dao Ancestors all remained composed and equally unsurprised.
"Winning the first three matches means nothing. Starting from the fourth, he will face the strongest experts of the same realm. Only then can we test just how strong Su Yi truly is at the Dao Truth Realm."
Taihao Xuan Zhen spoke indifferently.
