The Sky Curtain Descends! A Mysterious Live Broadcast Begins!

Douluo Continent.

The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire stood in opposition from north to south, while Spirit Hall loomed over the world with absolute power.

Yet on this very day, without any warning, a deafening, grandiose voice suddenly exploded across the firmament of the Douluo Continent!

"BOOM—"

The massive sound shook the heavens and the earth, blasting into the ears of every living creature on the Douluo Continent.

As the sound echoed, countless people looked up, their eyes filled with disbelief as they stared toward the source of the noise!

Immediately after, the clouds in the sky churned and rolled back, and a massive, transparent screen spanning the entire continent slowly emerged. Then, lines of text appeared upon the light curtain.

[A live broadcast of a mysterious realm is beginning. All those selected by the celestial screen may travel to a mysterious world of a higher dimension!]

[There, one may find methods for the evolution of life, terrifying divine weapons capable of severing the stars, and even star-beasts billions of times more powerful than hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts!]

[Survive in the mysterious world for one year, and you may return to your original world with the treasures and cultivation techniques you have obtained!]

The grandiose voice lacked any emotional inflection; it merely read the message coldly.

However, the massive amount of information contained within struck the hearts of everyone on the Douluo Continent, leaving them dazed and bewildered.

Following this, the entire continent instantly erupted into chaos!

"A mysterious world? A higher dimension?"

"Billions of times stronger than a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast? How is that possible! A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast is already an invincible existence! Could these be the legendary divine beasts?"

"If you survive for a year, you can bring back treasures and even undergo a rebirth? Could this be the legendary God Realm?"

Spirit masters and commoners across the continent discussed the event fervently. Some only wished for a peaceful life and dismissed the appearance of the screen, while others hoped to be chosen to seize this monumental opportunity.

Many desperate outlaws licked their lips, their eyes filled with greed.

Their thoughts were even more radical: even if they weren't chosen, ambushing those who returned from the mysterious world seemed like another way to obtain such fortunes!

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong wore a brilliant golden gown and a purple-gold crown; her stunningly beautiful face was currently filled with shock.

The moment the light curtain appeared, she had attempted to probe it. Yet, as the supreme ruler of Spirit Hall and a peak powerhouse of the Douluo Continent, she was completely unable to discern the nature of the screen above the firmament.

The mere thought of attacking the screen caused her spirit power to be tightly sealed, and she found herself unable to even manifest her spirit.

The light curtain was undoubtedly real.

At the very least, it was the handiwork of some deity from the God Realm!

"Evolution of life..."

Bibi Dong's red lips parted slightly, and her hand tightened involuntarily around her scepter. She was currently undergoing the trials of the Rakshasa God and knew deeply how difficult it was to become a god.

As her understanding of the godhood trials deepened, she also understood the essence of becoming a god more clearly.

Level ninety-nine spirit power was the limit for native life on the Douluo Continent. To break through this limit, one had to complete an evolution of their life level to continue increasing their strength.

This was the essence of becoming a god.

Becoming a god was, in essence, the evolution of one's life level.

If this mysterious world truly existed, did that not mean a path to the heavens, far more accessible than inheriting a divine position, was laid out before her?

"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, pass down the order immediately: monitor the movements of the celestial screen closely."

"Once anyone from my Spirit Hall is selected, spare no cost to gather intelligence regarding that mysterious world!"

"Especially... intelligence regarding the evolution of life!"

A gleam flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Although she was confident she could successfully pass the trials of the godhood and become a true deity, no one would mind having another path to the heavens in their pocket—at the very least, it could serve as a fallback should she fail.

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

On the training grounds, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others had all stopped what they were doing, staring at the sky in shock.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang, was the first to regain his composure. With his hands clasped behind his back, he coughed lightly and said with a firm tone, "Playing god!"

He turned to look at Tang San and the others beside him, speaking with great seriousness, "San, do not be deceived."

Hearing this, everyone present turned to look at the Grandmaster.

Yu Xiaogang continued sternly, "How could there be a world of a higher dimension in this world?"

"Even if there is a God Realm, there cannot be creatures billions of times larger than a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast; this violates the fundamental limits of biology."

"In my opinion, this is a high-level mental-type spirit beast casting a massive illusion-type spirit skill, or perhaps some rogue Titled Douluo is causing trouble and intentionally creating panic."

Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were looking at a fool.

Creating panic?

High-level spirit beasts capable of manifesting such a massive illusion require at least one hundred thousand to several hundred thousand years of cultivation. In the eyes of Spirit Hall, such a creature is nothing more than a walking hundred-thousand-year spirit ring paired with a spirit bone. They would hide as best they could; how could they possibly expose their own existence?

As for a Titled Douluo casting it, that is even more impossible!

Although Titled Douluos are powerful, such a colossal illusion is by no means a feat a single Titled Douluo could achieve, unless several of them joined forces.

If that were the case, it would definitely be an organized operation, and under the heavens, only Spirit Hall would have the resources for such a display.

Furthermore, across the entire Douluo Continent, the number of Titled Douluos can be counted on one's fingers, and every single one of them is well-known; none of them possess abilities related to illusions.

Flender opened his mouth, but in the end, he remained silent.

Yu Xiaogang's cultivation is low, and he does not know the limits of a Titled Douluo's might, so his words are somewhat excusable. One simply cannot say: Xiaogang, your cultivation is low, so it is normal that you do not know these secrets.

If he were to truly say that, the Golden Iron Triangle would likely fall apart on the spot.

"Understood, Teacher."

Hearing the seemingly logical and well-founded analysis from Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Tang San nodded with a respectful expression, appearing to agree deeply.

However, Tang San harbored a sliver of doubt in his heart; even though Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang spoke with such certainty, he did not fully believe him.

Tang San is the type of person who only believes in what he sees with his own eyes, and only believes in his Purple Demon Eye!

Thus, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, purple light flickering in his eyes as he attempted to see through the illusion in the sky.

The next second, Tang San felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his eyes!

"Hiss!"

A piercing pain radiated from his eye sockets, causing Tang San to gasp in a cold breath.

At the same time, as he endured the stinging pain in his eyes, a monstrous wave surged in his heart.

The sky screen is real; it is not an illusion!

This was also the first time Tang San had questioned the claims of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

It seemed that this widely acclaimed Grandmaster was not as wise as he had imagined; on the contrary, there were times when he made mistakes, and he could even be wrong in the most outrageous way!
