"Divine Lord Chilian..."

Heavenly Emperor Liuying glanced at contestants like Di A and Yao Ji, then at Great Emperor Shenwu, seeming somewhat hesitant.

Great Emperor Shenwu's expression did not change. "Speak."

"I do not possess detailed information on Divine Lord Chilian. He... is very mysterious, but compared to Xuelu, he should be stronger."

Heavenly Emperor Liuying spoke with a grave expression.

"Stronger!?"

Di A and Yao Ji narrowed their eyes slightly.

Stronger?

Xuelu's strength was suspected to be enough to pass the ninety-second step of the Supreme Ladder. Then Chilian...

The ninety-third step?

Or...

The ninety-fourth step, like Li Pin!?

"What do you mean, 'should be'?"

At this moment, Taiyi Heavenly Emperor could not help asking.

"It is perfectly normal."

Great Emperor Shenwu appeared very calm. "Since the God Race is willing to treat him as their trump card, it proves that he truly has greater potential than Xuelu."

"Not necessarily. Perhaps they put their strongest member at the front."

Heavenly Emperor Guyou remarked.

At the same time, he secretly sized Li Pin up.

"No, he truly is strong. Moreover, he should be stronger by more than just a little—he is... at least a full level stronger."

Seeing that Great Emperor Shenwu had no intention of making Di A, Yao Ji, and the others leave, Heavenly Emperor Liuying spoke bluntly. "Just days ago, Taiyuan Divine Emperor of the God Race brought Divine Lord Chilian to visit dozens of races. I have some friendship with a Heavenly Emperor from one of those races, and he secretly sent me a message..."

He paused slightly. "To preserve the Human Race's vitality, he advised us to withdraw from the Myriad Races Hegemony Competition if possible."

"Absurd."

"Utter nonsense."

The moment those words fell, Taiyi Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Guyou rebuked him at once.
