[Participants from Another World, Live to Your Heart's Content!]

"Go, child."

The voice of the Teleportation Gate resonated within the hearts of every living soul on the Douluo Continent.

Chen Yuan was, of course, no exception.

"Child, you must be careful. It doesn't matter if the mission fails."

His mother, Xu Wei, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, her face etched with worry.

"Big Brother, I believe in you!"

In contrast, Chen Muxue looked at Chen Fan with a determined little face. The latter smiled gently and ruffled her hair, "Don't worry."

With a thought, Chen Fan hesitated no longer. A white light flashed across the silver scale in his hand, and his entire body was instantly submerged in white radiance. A moment later, he transformed into specks of starlight and vanished from the spot!

[The Heaven Dou Empire has dispatched contestants: Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang!]

[The Spirit Empire has dispatched contestants: Tianfeng Douluo, Pufferfish Douluo, and Sea Turtle Douluo!]

[The Star Luo Empire has dispatched contestant: Zhu Xiaoxian...]

[The Frozen Forest faction has dispatched contestants: A-Tai, Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bing.]

[This mission is a group online survival mission, meaning it is a group survival task where everyone is teleported simultaneously!]

[Therefore, it can only commence once the participants are full or the countdown has ended!]

[Current countdown: ten minutes. Contestants who have not participated by the end of the countdown will be considered to have forfeited and will be directly penalized for mission failure!]

By the time Chen Fan appeared in the forbidden zone, the other four factions had already dispatched their respective contestants.

Clearly, they had been prepared for this beforehand.

It was just unexpected that this mission would also carry a requirement to "survive for three days and three nights."

Because of this, the Spirit Empire had essentially gritted their teeth to send out a lineup of three Title Douluo.

What surprised Chen Fan, however, was that the Frozen Forest faction had actually mobilized A-Tai (the Titan Snow Demon King) and even included Xiao Bai as support.

As for this Xiao Bing—it should be an Ice Jade Empress Scorpion around or near one hundred thousand years old, right?

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

Thinking this, Chen Fan turned his gaze toward the Teleportation Gate before him, then glanced to his side.

This wave of teleportation did not lead directly back to the Silver Dragon Space, but rather to the forbidden zone. Beside him stood seven blurry figures; they were the seven great fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, with Chen Fan's superior spiritual power, he could sense an aura lingering nearby. Looking back, he saw a pitch-black—dragon?

"The Lord has spoken; you shall lead this expedition."

The Beast God Di Tian remained silent for a long moment, seemingly communicating with the Silver Dragon King via spiritual power. After a while, he looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Who do you need to accompany you to assist in completing this mission?"

Chen Fan snapped out of his thoughts, ignoring the pitch-black little dragon that was hiding and casting curious glances at him, and fell into deep contemplation.

The Star Dou Great Forest currently seemed to have many options, but in reality, there were very few he could actually use.

First, the seven great fierce beasts were indeed available, but each was unruly and arrogant. Aside from the Beast God Di Tian, they likely wouldn't truly submit to him, a human, even if they obeyed on the surface.

Beyond that, there were only the numerous soul beasts, but bringing them along would make the target too large. If they were fighting the Raiden Shogun, perhaps bringing lightning-resistant soul beasts might be worth a try, but the problem was that this was Liyue!

The target was too big. Chen Fan believed he would have no trouble surviving for three days and three nights, but it was hard to say for his teammates.

"No need."

As the thought crossed his mind, Chen Fan made his decision and looked at the Beast God Di Tian, "I will go alone!"

"Hm?"

At these words, Di Tian was momentarily stunned, "By yourself?"

"Are you certain?"

"The Teleportation Gate made it clear: this online mission involves participants from all factions entering simultaneously. At that time, it is possible—" Chen Fan interrupted the Beast God Di Tian, "These people participating pose no threat to me."

Among the other factions, the most luxurious lineup was the three Title Douluo from the Spirit Empire, with the Frozen Forest faction being the next best.

However, to Chen Fan, who was already a Peerless Douluo, these were not threats at all; one could even say he viewed them as fodder.

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

"I suppose so."

Upon hearing this, the Beast God Di Tian was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

He had forgotten that this human already possessed the strength of a Peerless Douluo and had previously shown power comparable to that of a god.

"In that case—"

The Beast God Di Tian was about to say something, but his words were suddenly interrupted, "Beast God, I believe we should also go and see for ourselves..."

The one who spoke was the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

He didn't even glance at Chen Fan, his gaze fixed directly on Di Tian. "We have never witnessed this other world ourselves and know nothing of the situation within, so it is necessary for us to participate."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Di Tian unable to find a point of rebuttal for a moment.

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

It was quite obvious that Di Tian did not trust humans much, so—

"Then decide among yourselves!"

Although he had felt there was some truth to what Chen Yuan said earlier, he hadn't taken it to heart, perhaps hindered by his impressions of the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest from before he had transmigrated.

But looking at it now—

Chen Fan waved his hand casually and walked toward the Teleportation Gate. "I'm going in first!"

[Star Dou Great Forest faction contestant Chen Fan has entered the Teleportation Gate! Two participant slots remain for the faction!]

[Five minutes remaining on the countdown; participation will no longer be possible once the countdown ends!]

Di Tian watched Chen Fan's retreating figure, glanced at the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and remained silent.

"Beast God, what should we do now?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had grown somewhat stiff, Zi Ji stepped in to abruptly change the subject.

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

The Beast God Di Tian remained expressionless, saying nothing.

Just as the King of Ten Thousand Demons was about to speak, he heard Zi Ji say, "How about I go instead?"

"I will accompany Zi Ji."

Bi Ji spoke up as well. "This Survival Mission likely requires combat, and I happen to be able to provide support and healing."

"If Zi Ji is there, she can protect me as well."

Zi Ji nodded. "I can—"

"Let Xiong Jun accompany you."

The Beast God Di Tian interrupted Zi Ji, his gaze shifting to Xiong Jun. "You will follow that human and obey his commands."

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

"Following him will allow you to fight to your heart's content!"

At these words, Xiong Jun, whose entire being was fueled by combat, saw his eyes light up like lanterns. "That's no problem then!"

[Star Dou Great Forest's Xiong Jun and Bi Ji have entered the Teleportation Gate!]

[Number of participants is ready!]

[The first stage of the second act begins now!]

[Participants of the other world, please do your best to survive!]
