Five-Star Item, Ten Nations Gather to Open a Path to the Primordial World!

Blue Star, Cherry Blossom Nation.

On the second day of the National Destiny Weapon Ranking, every one of Li Yi's weapons made the list!

The Uchiha Fan, Cherry Blossom Nation's pride and joy, ranked far below Li Yi's weapons! Even Eagle Nation had three Divine Artifacts ranked above it!

Facing a monster like him, Cherry Blossom Nation had little confidence in the Trials ahead. Unless Li Yi suddenly died in the Primordial World, Dragon Nation looked set to sweep the rankings from here on out!

While Cherry Blossom Nation was at its wits' end, an invitation arrived from Eagle Nation. Its speaker, Robert, had personally invited Cherry Blossom Nation's current speaker, Kato Tsuru, to a meeting.

When the time came, Kato Tsuru accepted without hesitation.

In the Eagle Nation Congress Conference Room, Robert sat at the head of the table as projections appeared one after another before him.

They represented Cherry Blossom Nation, Kimchi Nation, Asan Nation, Gaul Nation...

Most of their nations had ranked highly in National Destiny Training in recent years.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Robert got straight to the point.

"I invited you here today to discuss how to stop Dragon Nation's Li Yi from dominating the rankings!"

"And Eagle Nation already has a plan!"

"Now we need your cooperation!"

At his words, the others exchanged looks, and the room erupted.

"Eagle Nation has a way to deal with Li Yi?"

"What is it? As long as the terms aren't excessive, we'll accept!"

"Exactly! Anything to stop Li Yi!"

If Li Yi had only been slightly ahead, they might have hated him, but they would not have gone this far.

But Li Yi was not slightly ahead. He had left every other nation's Trial Participants in the dust!

In previous years, even the top-ranked nation had only received a little more than the runner-up.

This year, Dragon Nation had swept the rewards from first through tenth place! Those ranked below could only stare, with no rewards at all!

At this rate, they might as well skip the rest and declare Dragon Nation the winner!

Every nation had racked its brains without finding a way to deal with Li Yi. Now Eagle Nation claimed to have one. How could they not be delighted?

Robert did not keep them in suspense. Information about an item appeared on the screens before their projections.

[Re-Rank Training Card]

[Rating: Five-star item. Cannot be traded!]

[Effect: During a National War, designate three people to return from their training worlds with all their strength, Talents, and weapons intact, then send them into a designated otherworld for a new round of training!]

[Cost: Activating the Re-Rank Training Card requires a payment of 50% of national destiny.]

[Note: Multiple nations may use this item and share its cost. No more than ten nations may participate!]

The speakers stared at the item's description in shock.

"A Re-Rank Training Card? Something like this actually exists?"

"A five-star item? Damn it! The ultimate reward from Kimchi Nation's National Destiny Training was only a four-star item!"

"Eagle Nation has taken first place in National Destiny Training so many times. Its reserves really are incredible!"

"But that cost is outrageous! Paying 50% of national destiny outright? No wonder we've never heard of this item before!"

"Unless the designated world far surpasses their previous training worlds, using this five-star item would be a waste!"

"Now, though, it's exactly what we need. Who knows whether Li Yi counts as strong in the Primordial World? But the Primordial World is unquestionably the highest-level world we know of!"

As the others murmured among themselves, Robert spoke plainly.

"You all saw the second-day rankings!"

"Every weapon Li Yi has is stronger than the Divine Artifacts—even the Super Divine Artifacts—we obtained from our training worlds!"

"But according to our Expert Department's analysis, this isn't because Li Yi is exceptional! It's because the Primordial World is on a much higher level!"

"Our Geniuses haven't lost to Dragon Nation's Li Yi! The worlds we chose simply fall far short of the Primordial World!"

"Li Yi's Talent must be mediocre even in the Primordial World!"

"The proof is... his cultivation hasn't advanced in a long time!"

"He's been stuck at the Primordial Unity Supreme Immortal level!"

"And given Dragon Nation's national destiny, Li Yi could only have received a low-tier Talent upon entering the Primordial World..."

"So the Primordial World is what we should fear, not Dragon Nation's Li Yi! If we can send our Geniuses there—"

"Even if they start a day or two behind, they'll catch up!"

"You've all seen the card's conditions. Its cost equals 50% of Eagle Nation's national destiny!"

"Spread across ten nations, each would only need to contribute the equivalent of 5% of Eagle Nation's national destiny! That isn't too much."

"Now it's up to you. Do you have the courage to try this with us?"

Robert fell silent and waited for their decisions.

The others exchanged glances. After only a moment's thought, each made up their mind!

"We're in! The cost is steep, but it beats sitting around waiting to lose!"

"Exactly! Dragon Nation's Li Yi just got lucky and entered the Primordial World! His Talent is mediocre! Once our Geniuses get in, they'll catch up within a day!"

Eagle Nation had immense national destiny. Its 5% share might be equivalent to 20% of Cherry Blossom Nation's!

In other words, it would take 20% of Cherry Blossom Nation's national destiny to match 5% of Eagle Nation's!

That was why Eagle Nation had chosen these powerful nations as its allies!

Cherry Blossom Nation already counted as a major power on Blue Star!

Had they approached some obscure weak nation, its entire national destiny might not have matched 5% of Eagle Nation's!

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Robert smiled.

"Then make your preparations! We'll use this item together!"

The nations sent representatives to Eagle Nation.

Inside a sealed chamber, Eagle Nation's representative looked over the other nine.

"Is everyone ready?"

They exchanged glances and nodded.

Once each representative signed the national destiny agreement, the contract took effect.

Whoosh!

Ten beams of national destiny rose from the people of Eagle Nation, Cherry Blossom Nation, and the other nations, soaring into the sky.

The Re-Rank Training Card at the center of the light absorbed enough national destiny. The new round of training was officially set in motion!
