Although that world was dangerous, even a speck of dust there could crush a person. But as the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. High risk often means high reward!

As long as one could find a powerful backer like Zhu Zhuqing, even as a mere servant, they could ascend to heaven in a single step!

As for the early stages, just lie low. Then, once the year is up, immediately return to the Douluo World.

By then, the Spirit Hall and the great sects would be nothing but fleeting clouds!

"Choose me, choose me!"

"I am willing to be a beast of burden for the Immortal Lord, just for a chance to be chosen!"

"Hmph, a mere Soul Saint like you is worthy of being the Immortal Lord's beast of burden? I am a Soul Douluo, the Immortal Lord's beast of burden belongs to me!"

For a time, countless soul masters across the Douluo Continent shouted towards the sky, some even kowtowing on the spot, desperately hoping to be chosen.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai, whose bones felt like they were about to break, struggled to climb out of the mud pit. Ignoring the mud all over his face, he stared intently at the Sky Screen, his eyes bloodshot:

"You must choose me! Zhu Zhuqing, you damned woman, I'll definitely catch you when I get there!"

"You are my fiancée, how can you wash swords for others? I won't allow it!"

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot, and his body trembled. This twisted possessiveness and jealousy had driven him to the brink of madness.

[Selection begins!]

The next second, the Sky Screen suddenly flashed with golden light, drawing everyone's attention.

[Ding, the first chosen one: Abandoned disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!]

"Roar!!"

In the next moment, almost as soon as the Sky Screen made its choice, outside Holy Soul Village, a decadent figure shot up into the sky.

It was the long-lost Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

However, Tang Hao's current demeanor was a far cry from his usual decadence and seriousness. He held his massive Clear Sky Hammer, and though his face was still covered in stubble, his eyes shone with terrifying brilliance!

"They actually chose me!"

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from the Sky Screen, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter, utterly ecstatic.

"A Yin, wait for me!"

"I don't need to become an immortal, I just need to find something that can revive you!"

"So what if it's the Perfect World? I, Tang Hao, have never been weaker than anyone in my life. Even if it's hell, I'll charge in!"

[Ding, the second chosen one: Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Sword Dao Chen Xin!]

"Good! Good! Good!"

Within the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin leaped up from his flying sword, exclaiming "Good!" three times in excitement.

He carried the Seven Kill Sword on his back, his white robes fluttering without wind, exuding a sharp sword intent.

"To hear the Way in the morning and die in the evening is enough!"

"I must go and witness the sword intent of the Sword Washing Pool with my own eyes!"

"Even if I die on the path of seeking the Way, it's better than being a frog in a well in this world!"

On the other hand, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi, looked on with worry.

After all, Sword Douluo was a high-level combatant of his Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. If he were to perish in that so-called Perfect World...

Ning Fengzhi dared not continue thinking, but before he could say anything, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had already transformed into a beam of sword light and flown away, ready to be teleported at any moment.

[Ding! The third chosen one: Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Saintess Hu Liena!]

Inside the Pope Palace.

Hu Liena, chosen by the Sky Screen, trembled, and a hint of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes. She had never expected to be chosen by that light screen.

"Teacher..."

In her haste, Saintess Hu Liena looked towards Bibi Dong on the throne beside her.

As if sensing her disciple's gaze, Pope Bibi Dong turned her head, looked at her, and sternly instructed:

"Nana, this is your opportunity."

"Remember, once you get there, put away your pride from the Spirit Hall. That world is far beyond ours. Your first mission is to survive well."

"And it would be best to find a power to attach yourself to, just like that Zhu Zhuqing, no matter what means you use, even if it means selling yourself!"

"As long as you can return safely from the Perfect World, you will be the next Pope."

Looking at Bibi Dong's expectant eyes, Hu Liena gritted her teeth and nodded heavily: "Nana understands! For the Spirit Hall!"

[Ding! Fourth selectee: Shrek Academy, Evil Fire Phoenix: Ma Hongjun!]

"Huh? Me?"

At this moment, inside Shrek Academy, the chubby Ma Hongjun, who had been hiding behind the crowd in fear of being chosen, pointed at his own nose with a bewildered expression.

Immediately after, he came to his senses and let out a howl like a slaughtered pig.

"No, I don't want to go!"

"In that world, Golden-Winged Pengs are just snacks; if I go there, I'll be eaten like a fat chicken! No, please!"

"Boss Dai, save me! Third Brother, save me!"

Ma Hongjun was scared witless and desperately tried to grab onto Dai Mubai's leg, but while his speed was fast, the speed of the light beam was faster. In the blink of an eye, it descended mercilessly and enveloped his entire body.

"You fat idiot, pull yourself together! Remember, you must find Zhu Zhuqing!" Just a split second before Ma Hongjun was teleported away, Dai Mubai roared out a final instruction.

Looking at the empty space where the figure had been, he gritted his teeth in frustration.

Damn it, why wasn't he the one chosen!

[Teleportation initiated!]

Following the mechanical voice, four beams of light instantly shot into the sky and flew into the massive Sky Screen.

Upon seeing that four more lucky individuals had been chosen by the Sky Screen, every soul master and even soul beast across the Douluo Continent stared unblinkingly at the images in the sky.

They were desperate to catch a glimpse of more truths behind that world!

Soon, the Sky Screen fulfilled their wishes; after a brief freeze, new images began to flow out.

However, this time the perspective was no longer Zhu Zhuqing, but a man with a face full of stubble: Tang Hao.

"Bang!"

Having learned from the experience of the previous two batches of chosen ones, Tang Hao did not scream or shout like the cannon fodder upon landing.

Instead, he immediately activated his Clear Sky Avatar to withstand the gravity, then quickly found cover and hid.

"Is this the Perfect World?"

Hiding behind the cover, Tang Hao took a deep breath of the spiritual energy in the air and felt as if the blood in his entire body was about to boil.

"It truly is a land of opportunity!"

After feeling all this, Tang Hao's eyes lit up.

But knowing he could not be careless, he hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to observe his surroundings vigilantly.

As far as the eye could see, it was vast and boundless, as if he had entered the Deep Great Wilderness. There was no sign of human life in the vicinity, save for an Ancient Village faintly visible in the distance, standing quietly there.

As for the entrance to the village, a charred Willow Tree was rooted in the ground.
