National Destiny Trial Square.

The massive plaza was a sea of people as the Dragon Nation freshmen formed queues and entered the plaza under the guidance of various group leaders. Meanwhile, the situation in the plaza was being simultaneously broadcasted to all Dragon Nation viewers, with countless bullet-comments flashing across the streaming room.

[For nine consecutive years, we haven't even made it into the top ten. Hopefully, this year's freshmen perform a bit better.]

[This year holds a lot of hope. I heard someone from the Zhao Clan is participating in the National Destiny Trial.]

[The Zhao Clan? You mean the Zhao Clan that has already produced three Titled Douluos?]

[That's right. Given the Zhao Clan's familiarity with that world, their people can at least become Soul Douluos in this trial. Our Dragon Nation's National Destiny Trial this generation is definitely securing the top three!]

In Class Five of Tianhai No. 3 Middle School, the group leader emphasized the rules of this competition to the students below.

A handsome youth with delicate features flashed a trace of bewilderment across his face, only recovering his wits a moment later with a delayed realization, while shock flickered through his pupils.

So, I transmigrated?

My previous body is also named Li Yi...

National Destiny otherworldly trial? Choosing different worlds to undergo trials, and the trial result rankings will directly affect the national destiny and determine the subsequent Heavenly Dao blessings.

Only the top ten countries receive rewards. The Dragon Nation in this parallel world has failed to enter the top ten for nine consecutive seasons, and its national destiny is weakening...

Li Yi digested the memories in his mind, slowly figuring out the situation he currently faced.

In this world, newly adult children every year were chosen by the National Destiny game and possessed a chance to freely choose a trial world.

The entire trial lasted a total of ten days in this world, and rankings were determined every day based on the comprehensive strength of the participants in the trial world.

The time flow rates of each trial world were different. The stronger the trial world, the faster time passed. One day in the National Destiny Trial might be just one year passing in a low-martial-arts world, while a hundred or even ten thousand years might have already passed in a high-martial-arts world! The more terrifying the trial world, the more time there was to grow, but of course the danger was also higher.

The group leader above, Wang Gang, glanced over the crowd below, his tone very stern.

"After entering, honestly choose the low-martial-arts worlds you are already relatively familiar with. Of course, those with ambition can also follow Zhao Xuan and choose the high-martial-arts Soul Land World. With him around, your trip to Soul Land won't be too difficult..."

"Don't be clever and choose those unexplored worlds. Clever people are usually the fastest to die."

After many years of the National Destiny Trial, many trial worlds of the Dragon Nation had been explored. Among them, the Soul Land World was definitely one of the worlds with the most terrifying strength among the explored worlds!

In other unknown worlds, there might be stronger ones than the Soul Land World, but no challengers had ever been able to return from those worlds. As time went on, the Soul Land World had become the universally acknowledged ceiling of trial worlds for the Dragon Nation freshmen.

As Wang Gang's voice fell from above, the crowd below successively cast their gazes toward the youth at the head of the class. He was none other than the Zhao Xuan mentioned by the group leader, hailing from the Zhao Clan that had consecutively produced three Titled Douluos.

Such a favored child of heaven could quickly gain a foothold in the Soul Land World, obtain fortuitous encounters, and grow rapidly by virtue of the secret lore passed down by word of mouth within his family. Staying by his side, even being a lackey had more prospects than anyone else!

Zhao Xuan glanced at the many male classmates beside him showing ingratiating expressions and the many female classmates casting lingering glances, a very arrogant look on his face.

"After going in, those with innate soul power of rank 4 or above are barely qualified to be my lackey. Anyone lower, you'd better not bother me!"

This was said very arrogantly, but the people gathered around him did not feel anything was amiss, and instead spoke flattery even more assiduously.

Amidst the crowd, Li Yi was still carefully pondering the numerous worlds in his mind, a trace of a bizarre expression rising on his face.

The so-called trial worlds in this parallel space were basically worlds he knew very well.

[Condor Heroes World], [Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World], [Soul Land World], ..., [Primordial World]

At the thought of the last world, Li Yi's breathing involuntarily hitched.

Primordial World!? Was it the world he was familiar with?

If the Soul Land World was called the fantasy sewer, then the Primordial World was completely on a different dimension from it, entirely worthy of being called the ceiling of mythology.

In the Primordial World, any random little demon could kick a Limit Douluo of the Soul Land World to death!

In just an instant, Li Yi secretly made up his mind in his heart.

What Soul Land World? If he was going, he was going to undergo trials in the Primordial World!

The Primordial World was undeniably extremely dangerous, but with his understanding of the Primordial World, at worst he could just hunker down and survive, right!?

Even if he became an ordinary Demon Tribe member, surviving and returning would allow him to kick the so-called Limit Douluo around like a dog!

As time passed, the group leaders in the arena all withdrew. Accompanied by a flash of light, all the freshmen in the entire plaza were collectively teleported away.

When Li Yi opened his eyes again, a virtual panel had already floated up in front of him.

[Please select your trial world.]

Li Yi did not hesitate for a single second and directly entered the two characters "Primordial".

[Do you wish to select the Primordial World for your trial?]

Li Yi took a deep breath and decisively chose the [Yes] button.

The next moment, Li Yi's figure slowly blurred. Just as he was about to be teleported to the Primordial World, a voice echoed in his mind once again.

[Ding! Detected that the host is traversing the Primordial World. Nine Golden Finger options have been unlocked for you, but you can only choose four of them!]

[1. Three Thousand Deityfiends: Your background is one of the Three Thousand Deityfiends, and your growth limit is unbound by the Heavenly Dao.]

[2. Houtu's Lover: Houtu's favorability toward you increases massively, viewing you as a lifelong partner.]

[3. Companion Supreme Treasure: An RNG Innate Supreme Treasure accompanies your birth.]

[4. Disciple of the Dao Ancestor: You are destined to become the disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.]

[5,Formation Master: You are naturally skilled in the Dao of formations, able to comprehend peerless killing formations and see through the flaws of all formations.] [6,Dragon-Han Fortune: You carry a wisp of Fortune from each of the three clans of the dragons, phoenixes, and qilin. The three clans will not actively attack you when they see you, and you have the opportunity to mingle among them to seize resources.]

[7, Good Karma of the Red Cloud: Ancestor Red Cloud owes you a debt of karma, and at a critical moment he is willing to sacrifice himself to help you once (limited to one time).]

[8, Clear Dao Platform: In the dark and mysterious void, all baleful qi, karma, and schemes cannot contaminate your body.]

[9, Friend of the Three Pure Ones: The favorable impression of the Three Pure Ones toward you has substantially increased, and they regard you as a fellow practitioner of the Dao.] ```

Li Yi listened to the options in his mind, his expression instinctively dazing for a moment before a trace of joy surfaced a short while later.

He had time-traveled, so how could there be no transmigrator perks? The golden finger was late, but it had arrived!

After only making a brief scan, the smile on Li Yi's face not only failed to fade in the slightest, but instead became even more unbridled.

Originally, he had only wanted to honestly stay low-key and cultivate in the Primordial World, waiting for the National Destiny Training to end, but now... the plan had changed!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yi directly chose 1, 3, 5, and 8.

The moment Li Yi made his choice, accompanied by a flash of light, his figure slowly dissipated in place.
