By now, the Chosen One Selection Tournament had reached its final rounds, so unlike Dragon Nine City, it could no longer decide the victories and defeats of the surrounding immortal realms. From this point on, every match would be different from those in the past. According to the information we had received, the three matches would each be held in a different giant immortal realm, and all three realms had only been granted hosting rights temporarily.

This was also to prevent manipulation like that in the Nine-Dragon Immortal Realm. After all, the controllability there had been far too high.
