"Go, child."

The voice of the Teleportation Gate resounded in the hearts of every living being across the Douluo Continent.

Chen Yuan was no exception.

"Child, be careful. It's all right if you fail the mission."

At last, his mother Xu Wei, who had been silent beside him, spoke up. Her face was tinged with worry.

"Brother, I believe in you!"

By contrast, Chen Muxue gazed at Chen Fan with a determined little face. He smiled and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry."

A thought crossed Chen Fan's mind, and he didn't hesitate any longer. The silver scale in his hand flashed with white light, and his whole body was instantly submerged in its glow. A moment later, he turned into specks of starlight and vanished from the spot!

[The Heaven Dou Empire has sent Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang as its participants!] [The Spirit Hall Empire has sent Tianfeng Douluo, Pufferfish Douluo, and Sea Turtle Douluo as its participants!] [The Star Luo Empire has sent Zhu Xiaoxian as its participant—] [The Frozen Forest faction has sent A-Tai, Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bing as its participants!] [This mission is a group, multiplayer survival mission. All participants will be transported together!] [Therefore, the mission will begin only when all participants have joined or the countdown ends!] [The current countdown is ten minutes. Any participants who have not joined when it ends will be deemed to have forfeited and will be directly punished as mission failures!]

By the time Chen Fan appeared in the restricted area, the other four factions had already sent out their respective participants.

Clearly, they had prepared well in advance.

They just hadn't expected this mission to come with a requirement to survive for three days and three nights.

As a result, the Spirit Hall Empire had basically gritted its teeth and sent three Titled Douluo.

What surprised Chen Fan was that the Frozen Forest faction had actually sent A-Tai—the Titan Snow Demon King, a Ferocious Beast—and even Xiao Bai to support him.

As for this Xiao Bing... she should be an Ice Jade Empress Scorpion close to, or perhaps around, a hundred thousand years old, right?

If it were the Ice Empress, they would have said so directly.

Thinking this, Chen Fan looked at the Teleportation Gate in front of him, then glanced around.

This time, he hadn't been transported directly back to the Silver Dragon Space. He was in the restricted area, with seven blurry figures beside him—the seven great Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

But with Chen Fan's exceptionally powerful spiritual force, he could sense another aura lingering nearby. He looked back and saw a pitch-black... dragon?

"Her Majesty said that you would lead this mission."

Beast God Di Tian fell silent for a moment, as if communicating with the Silver Dragon King through spiritual force. Only after a short while did he look at Chen Fan and ask, "Who do you need to accompany you and help you complete this mission?"

Chen Fan came back to his senses. He paid no further attention to the little black dragon hiding nearby and gazing at him with curiosity, and fell into thought.

The Star Dou Great Forest seemed to offer plenty of choices, but in practice, there weren't many he could use.

The seven great Ferocious Beasts were certainly available, but each was arrogant and unruly. Aside from Beast God Di Tian, they probably wouldn't submit to him, a human. Even if they obeyed on the surface, who knew what they might do behind his back?

Beyond them, there were only the many Soul Beasts. But bringing them along would make their target too conspicuous. If they were going up against Raiden Shogun, perhaps he could take some lightning-resistant Soul Beasts to test their luck. But the problem was, this was Liyue!

Their target would be too big. Chen Fan himself was sure he could survive for three days and three nights, but he couldn't say the same for his teammates.

"No need."

After the thought crossed his mind, Chen Fan made up his mind. He looked at Beast God Di Tian. "I'll go alone!"

"Hm?"

Di Tian was taken aback. "Alone?"

"Are you sure?"

"The Teleportation Gate made it clear. In this multiplayer mission, participants from every faction will enter at the same time. When the time comes, it's possible that—"

Chen Fan interrupted Beast God Di Tian. "None of the participants are any threat to me."

The most powerful lineup among the other factions was undoubtedly the three Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall Empire, followed by the Frozen Forest faction.

However, none of them posed a threat to Chen Fan, who had already reached the strength of a Peerless Douluo. He could even say he'd treat them all like military rations and make up for the loss.0

The hardest part of this mission was actually surviving for three days and three nights!

"True."

Beast God Di Tian paused at those words, then nodded in agreement.

He had forgotten that this human already possessed the strength of a Peerless Douluo, and had even seemed to possess power on par with a god before.

"In that case—"

Beast God Di Tian had just started to speak when someone cut him off. "Beast God, I think we should go and see this other world for ourselves, too."

The one who spoke was King of Ten Thousand Demons.

He didn't even look at Chen Fan, fixing his gaze on Di Tian instead. "We've never visited this other world before, and know nothing about it. So I think it's necessary for us to take part."

His argument was well-reasoned, leaving Di Tian unable to find a point to refute.

Of course, perhaps he didn't want to refute him, either.

It was obvious that Di Tian didn't trust humans very much, so—

"Then decide among yourselves!"

Before, he'd thought Chen Yuan had made some fair points, but perhaps because of the impression he'd formed of the Star Dou Great Forest's Ferocious Beasts before crossing over, he hadn't taken them too seriously.

But now, after seeing this...

Chen Fan waved casually, then headed toward the Teleportation Gate. "I'll go in first!"

[Star Dou Great Forest faction participant Chen Fan has entered the Teleportation Gate! Two participant slots remain for the faction!] [Five minutes remain on the countdown. Once it ends, no more participants will be allowed to join!]

Di Tian watched Chen Fan's retreating figure enter, then glanced at King of Ten Thousand Demons without saying a word.

"Beast God, what should we do now?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had grown somewhat stiff, Zi JI forcibly changed the subject and asked.

King of Ten Thousand Demons also realized he might have said something wrong and silently took a step back.

Beast God Di Tian remained expressionless and said nothing.

King of Ten Thousand Demons was just about to say something when Zi JI spoke up. "How about I go?"

"I'll accompany Zi JI."

Bi Ji spoke up as well. "This survival mission should involve fighting, and I can provide support and healing."

"With Zi JI there, she can protect me, too."

Zi JI nodded. "I can—"

"Let Xiong Jun accompany him!"

Beast God Di Tian interrupted Zi JI and looked at Xiong Jun. "Follow that human and obey his orders."

"Tch, listen to that human? What do you take me for, Xiong Jun?"

"Listen to him, and you'll get to fight to your heart's content!"

At those words, Xiong Jun's eyes lit up like lanterns. Every inch of him was brimming with the urge to fight. "Then no problem!"

[Xiong Jun and Bi Ji of the Star Dou Great Forest faction have entered the Teleportation Gate!] [All participants are ready!] [The first stage of the second act begins now!] [Participants from another world, survive to your heart's content!]
