As that majestic, terrifying voice issued another reminder, everyone on Douluo Continent finally seemed to react and began taking the Mysterious Land seriously.
"Damn, could the Mysterious Land be dangerous? Why else would there be a special warning?"
"Probably not, right? So many ordinary people were chosen. It shouldn't be too dangerous, or why choose ordinary people?"
"I've wanted to say this for a while. Is it possible that mysterious voice simply doesn't care whether those people live or die? It's merely selecting people to send over!"
"No way, right? Even if they're ordinary people, they're still living lives."
"Hehehe, in the eyes of the strong, those living lives you speak of are nothing more than a string of cold numbers."
"My god, if you put it that way, should I be glad I wasn't chosen as a Chosen One?"
"Of course. Opportunities always come with danger!"
Inside a standalone villa at Slime Academy, a girl stood by the window, watching the Light Screen overhead while silently listening to the notifications continuously ringing beside her ears.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 1 point of Shock Value!] [Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 1 point of Shock Value!] [Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 1 point of Shock Value!]
After a long silence, she slowly spoke in an uncertain tone.
"System, do you think... what we're doing is really okay?"
[Host, you were the one who said you wanted to grow stronger as quickly as possible. Other than this method, do you have any other options? Or are you planning to imitate your transmigrator predecessors and make a ranking of the top ten strongest experts in the Myriad Worlds? Although this system can extract the images in your mind, Host, those are merely your own imagination. Once the livestream begins, mistakes could easily appear. Based on Douluo Continent's population of 140 million, the chance of being exposed is one hundred percent!] [Once you are exposed, Host, how much Shock Value could you possibly gain? Only things that are real and effective can provoke intense emotional fluctuations in living beings, allowing the Host to obtain enough Emotion Value and ultimately achieve the goal of growing stronger. Then you can leave Douluo Continent, seek other worlds, and repeat the current operation.]
After hearing the system's words, the girl clearly fell silent. Only after quite some time did she continue.
"But isn't the world you found for me a little too strong? Didn't we agree that at most it would be Star Exploding? Why don't you take a look at the fragment you extracted for me from that world's River of Time?"
The girl's tone was clearly angry. This time, it was her system's turn to fall silent.
After quite a while, the system's mechanical voice rang out again.
[This system did not want this either. This system merely selected a world at random and never expected to choose such a terrifying world. This system has traveled through thirty-four thousand six hundred worlds. Even the strongest world this system has ever seen was not even one ten-thousandth as powerful as this one. At most, it was only at the level of the Lower Realm's Lower Realm in this world. Things have already come to this. Host, you should think about what to do next. If the experts of this world come after us, this system has no way to deal with them.]
"What do we do? Things have already reached this point, so we can only continue. If the Child of Destiny and the Daughter of Destiny weren't unable to leave Douluo Continent, I'd definitely send Tang San and Xiao Wu over to see what we could gain."
A resolute look appeared on the girl's face.
"Besides, if experts from that world really come knocking, then at worst we'll leave the Douluo World and go to another world. It's just a shame that Douluo Continent is the fantasy novel I'm most familiar with. Once I leave the familiar Douluo Continent, I don't know whether I can still navigate other worlds as easily as I do now."
[Host, you carbon-based lifeforms have a saying: you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Some risks must be taken!]
"You're right. Hesitation only breeds trouble. System, listen. In a moment, you do this and this, then that and that. That way, we'll definitely obtain a huge amount of Emotion Value. Maybe we'll even be able to pay off the Emotion Value I owe for constructing the Two Realms Passage!"
"By the way, how much do I still owe?"
[The Host originally owed this system 9450 Quadrillion 5892 Trillion 5211 Million 2598 points of Emotion Value. From this livestream, as of now, the Host has obtained a total of 325 Million 255 Thousand 852 points of Emotion Value. Given the enormous debt, this system has waived the remaining amount. Therefore, the Host owes this system a total of 9450 Quadrillion 5889 Billion Points of Emotion Value!]
Looking at the debt figure supplied by the system, enough to blind her, the girl instantly fell silent. Her entire being visibly withered, and only after quite some time did she force herself to regain her spirits.
"Proceed according to plan. The Emotion Value provided by the weak is far too little. Only the strong can provide enough Emotion Value!"
[That's more like the Host this system values!]
An hour was merely sixty minutes, a mere three thousand six hundred seconds. It passed in the blink of an eye.
[Time is up! Teleportation will now begin!] [One additional warning: once you enter the Mysterious Land, you must not mention anything related to this world or this entity. Violators will be shown no mercy!]
Rumble—
As the word "mercy" fell, heaven and earth across Douluo Continent changed color, and the void roiled. Even the neighboring God Realm was affected, and the entire God Realm began to tremble!
At that moment, all the lofty God Realm Gods were shocked!
"Impossible! Just how powerful must the master behind the Light Screen be to shake the God Realm?"
"Stop saying impossible. The God Realm really was shaken by a single sentence from them. Their power definitely surpasses a God King and may even rival a Creator God!"
"Damn it, this has completely gone beyond our control. If they intend us harm, we may not even have the ability to fight back!"
"What should we do now?"
"What do we do? We don't even have the right to fight back. What else can we do? Wait and see what the Five God Kings decide."
"..."
While the God Realm Gods were trembling with unease, the Five God Kings gathered together.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do? Either fight or surrender. What else do you think we can do? Don't tell me you think they came with good intentions?"
"That's right. They deliberately released their pressure just now. They were clearly targeting us. They've come with ill intent!"
"If we communicate with them, can we avoid a God War?"
"Hard to say. The fact that they dared to do this means they don't take us seriously at all."
"Then what do we do?"
"Like I said, seal off the God Realm and wait to see what happens. There's no need for us to throw ourselves into disarray."
At the same time, one hundred beams of light descended from the light in the heavens and landed upon the so-called Chosen Ones. In the next moment, regardless of gender, age, status, or standing, those one hundred Chosen Ones vanished just like that before everyone's eyes!
Not long after, the Light Screen overhead lit up again. However, unlike before, it was now divided neatly into one hundred sections, each showing the current situation of a Chosen One!
"My god, what a gigantic tree! Its diameter must be at least a hundred meters, right?"
"Look over there! What's that? A mountain? But how can a mountain move?"
"I don't know, I have no idea at all. Damn, what is that? What a huge fruit! That fruit is as big as our elementary Soul Master Academy!"
"Damn, that person has it way too rough..."
In less than three seconds, one of the hundred sections had already gone dark...
