Before leaving his Divine Domain.
Ye Yu took another look at his Character Interface.
[Character Interface] [Host]: Ye Yu (Citizen of Arbor City, Unique Identity Number woxiajibaluanbiannixiajibaluankan078429) [Divine Name]: The Great Heavenly Venerate Who Opened Heaven, Held the Tally, Followed the Calendar, Embodied Truth, Practiced the Dao, and Resided in the Golden Tower of the Cloud Palace and Nine Heavens, Governing the Ten Thousand Daos Without Action, the Great Dao, the Bright Hall, the Vast Heaven, the Golden Tower, the Supreme Jade Emperor Who Pardoned Sins [Divine Title]: None [Divine Duty]: None [Divine Spark]: Demigod Spark (Ordinary, Weak) [Divine Rank]: One-Star Demi-God [Divine Domain]: 15 square kilometers [Divine Kingdom]: Not established [Divine City]: Not established [Divine Power]: 24 [Divine Nature]: None [Secondary Occupation]: Grill Master [Faith]: Lingxiao Immortal Palace (Palace Lord) [Subjects (Believers)]: Fourth Catastrophe (Earth humans, Yanhuang Bloodline) [Contribution (Faith)]: 21366
"Only a little over 20,000 Contribution points?"
Ye Yu furrowed his brows.
Today, he was gaining Contribution points noticeably more slowly.
It wasn't because the players had gotten lazy. The native ferocious beasts in his Divine Domain, Spotted wolves, had already been hunted to extinction by the players.
Now, the players were opening up the land by hunting Winged Bulls.
Although Winged Bulls were even stronger than Spotted wolves,
they were still just monster templates provided by the system. The Contribution points the system gave for them were nowhere near as much as for Spotted wolves.
"Forget it. A little over 20,000 Contribution points will only get me a little over 2,000 Divine Power at most."
"That's nowhere near enough to raise my rank, so I'll save it for now!"
"Besides, once tomorrow's Divine War is over and I devour Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark, I'll probably be able to level up again!"
With that in mind, Ye Yu left his Divine Domain.
The night passed without incident.
At noon the next day, Ye Yu left his room.
He had just reached the center of the temple when he saw that quite a few people had gathered there.
The Divine Envoy, Ma Baoguo, Xiao Gui, and the others were all present.
When Ma Baoguo saw Ye Yu, he raised his brows at him smugly, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
Ma Baoguo was in an excellent mood.
In a little while, he would be able to hunt Ye Yu and devour his Divine Spark.
By then, he would surely surpass Xiao Gui and become the top genius in Arbor God City.
Just thinking about it made him a little excited!
The Divine Envoy checked the time and said flatly,
"Ma Baoguo, Ye Yu, get ready."
As soon as he spoke, all the spectators present perked up.
The Divine War was finally about to begin.
Ma Baoguo nodded but didn't move.
He'd already made all the preparations he needed.
Ye Yu didn't move either.
Seeing this, the Divine Envoy didn't press them.
He glanced at the timer and said,
"Now, the two of you, enter the Divine War Stage!"
The so-called Divine War Stage was the broad, circular platform standing in the center of the temple.
A massive Crystal floated above the middle of the platform.
It looked a little like the crystals from the MOBA game Ye Yu had played in his previous life.
Above the Crystal were two Light Screens, which were completely black at the moment, showing nothing.
Ye Yu and Ma Baoguo didn't hesitate. They stepped onto the Divine War Stage.
Strictly speaking, a Divine War like this was merely a sparring match.
That was because killing was normally forbidden in this kind of Divine War.
However, Ma Baoguo was the second-ranked genius in Arbor God City.
He considered Ye Yu nothing but a worthless god with no future.
That was why he made no attempt to hide his intentions.
In fact, everyone, including the Divine Envoy, knew what Ma Baoguo was planning.
They simply chose not to say anything.
If this Divine War had been between Xiao Gui and Ma Baoguo, the Divine Envoy would have absolutely forbidden the two of them from killing each other.
The truly terrifying battles were the ones fought out in the wild. There were no rules, and every fight was to the death.
Of course, Ye Yu and the others were still rookie New Gods. They had no chance yet to experience the true cruelty of the World of Gods!
Time passed slowly.
A moment later, the Divine Envoy saw that the timer had reached twelve o'clock.
He immediately called out,
"Divine War begins!"
As his voice rang out, the Crystal on the Divine War Stage instantly burst into dazzling light, enveloping Ye Yu and Ma Baoguo.
Ye Yu heard a clear hum ring in his mind.
The next moment, a voice full of authority sounded in his ear!
"Would you like to start the Divine War Livestream?"
Ye Yu knew that voice well. It belonged to Great God Arbor, though he had no idea how Arbor's voice had ended up inside the Crystal.
"No!"
Ye Yu chose no without a moment's thought.
He wasn't stupid. He would never expose his Sand sculpture players to the other New Gods.
If he did, everyone would realize there was something strange about his Believers.
Ma Baoguo also chose no!
His goal today was to hunt Ye Yu.
Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to start a livestream and kill Ye Yu in front of everyone.
Besides, who didn't have a few tricks up their sleeve these days?
Who the hell would be willing to expose their trump cards?
Seeing that both men had independently refused to start the livestream,
the spectators all around let out cries of dismay.
They were terribly disappointed.
It meant they wouldn't get to watch the Divine War between Ye Yu and Ma Baoguo.
Still, disappointment or not, no one chose to leave.
"Ye Yu, you can't die!"
"Only I, Xiao Gui, have the right to hunt you!"
Xiao Gui unconsciously clenched his fists, staring without blinking at Ye Yu, whose figure was no longer visible on the Divine War Stage.
After refusing to start the livestream, Ye Yu soon felt himself enveloped by a force of laws that seemed to belong to no god.
The next moment, his vision blurred.
Every image shattered like broken glass and burst apart with a bang.
When he regained consciousness,
he discovered that his Divine Domain had connected with Ma Baoguo's.
Inside the Divine Domain, the system had already posted a game announcement.
"Story Event activated. All players, prepare yourselves!"
The announcement appeared three times in a row, and every player couldn't help feeling nervous.
According to the story, the Demon Cultivator Ma Baoguo was clearly an incredibly powerful cultivator.
As for these players, most of them had only entered the game a day or two ago.
Their cultivation was barely at the first or second level of Qi Refining.
Could they withstand the Demon Cultivator Ma Baoguo's assault?
Ye Yu took a deep breath and was just about to direct the players and arrange their defenses.
Then Gu Du's voice rang in his ear.
"Ye Nima, take the Trap Squad and set up traps near the sect right now!"
"King Grey Wolf, take the Poison Players and follow Ye Nima. Once they've dug the traps, you immediately poison them!"
"Tank Squad, follow Xiong Da!"
"All other players, stand by!"
Gu Du was a Great God-level player who had come up with plenty of strategies.
The Sand sculpture players present trusted him completely.
So nobody objected. They followed Gu Du's orders in an orderly fashion and went off to set everything up.
Seeing that, Ye Yu patted his forehead.
Well, someone else had already taken care of directing them. He might as well sit back and watch!
