Chapter 399: Will All Multiverses Be Broadcasting?

Three demigods with immense backgrounds and terrifying strength were caught in succession, all falling into the trap silently through the concerted efforts of Li Yu and the Toad God.

Li Yu felt his own cultivation realm had long since overflowed by an unknown amount; although he remained in the "True Lord of Bait" sequence, his combat power had actually surpassed the legendary level, directly rivaling those demigod-level powerhouses.

As for the Toad God?

He had also had his fill of fun.

Watching the show while being able to participate from afar, the Toad God, as the top benefactor, naturally felt incomparably delighted.

Therefore, he had no intention of stopping at all.

He kept urging Li Yu to continue casting his line and taking action, catching as many as possible in the remaining time.

Even if he couldn't catch all the Children of the World, he at least couldn't let the big fish get away.

For those at the demigod level, it would be best to catch them all in one net.

This idea of the Toad God was, in fact, Li Yu's own ambition as well.

Previously, it would have been absolutely impossible.

But now, or rather, before those twelve hours were up, Li Yu had actually achieved it.

The last demigod-level Child of the World, that "Daoist Yang," ultimately failed to escape Li Yu's clutches.

The bait that could lure him onto the hook!

Li Yu, or the Toad God, could both provide it.

In fact, what Li Yu could produce was the one with the highest degree of compatibility.

After all, Li Yu was the "Master of the Calamity Star Order."

Once that Calamity Star Order appeared, Daoist Yang would go crazy for it.

Regrettably, Li Yu could not take the risk.

So he chose a "Copper Coin Sword" provided by the Toad God, forged from two types of coins—luck and misfortune—which could bring both good fortune and disaster.

This was likewise a wonder that Daoist Yang could not refuse.

How could he have imagined?

That there would be an angler in this world who could invite the Toad God to help, deliberately luring him onto the hook.

Hooking every single demigod-level Child of the World!

Such a miracle seemed inconceivable.

But if it were the collaborative effort of a True Lord of Bait with a cultivation base that had reached the limit and overflowed by an unknown amount, and a sovereign-level True God, it no longer seemed worth being surprised about.

At this point, among the various Boundless Heaven's Favorites rampaging in Wanfu City, all the demigod-level Children of the World had been hooked by Li Yu.

The Toad God was originally still unsatisfied and wanted Li Yu to continue.

But the deadline had arrived before anyone knew it.

Suddenly, at this very moment, accompanied by bursts of void rumbling, an unimaginable change began to unfold in this region that already showed signs of becoming a "Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods."

Space and time!

Both dimensions underwent anomalies.

Turbulence such as time stagnation, time reversal, time leaping, and so on, continuously swept through the inside and outside of Wanfu City.

Following that, the spatial barriers in all directions—up, down, left, and right—repeatedly shattered, swept, and inverted.

At this moment, all living beings, including Li Yu, seemed to have been swept into the space-time turbulence.

Conversely, those Boundless Heaven's Favorites who had been invited were fixed in place by the void pillars, exempt from these anomalies.

And what triggered all of this!

Was precisely that divine artifact above Wanfu City, which countless powerhouses had worked behind the scenes to assemble... the Gate of All Worlds.

Now, this object had taken shape.

Everyone inside and outside the city could not see clearly; they could only see the space-time vortex and turbulence raging, unable to even maintain normal thought, helplessly engulfed by chaos.

Yet even after suffering such a calamity, not a single god in Wanfu City stood out to help these pitiful believers.

This was, of course, quite reasonable.

They were merely a group of shallow believers; since they could be brought out to entertain the Boundless Heaven's Favorites, how could anyone care about the rest?

Perhaps the tens of millions of believers inside and outside the city didn't even qualify to be "audience members" and could only serve as background scenery.

Others could only passively endure, but how could Li Yu be willing to miss a scene that surely contained secrets?

While using methods to stabilize himself and forcibly peer into it.

He called upon his top benefactor for an explanation.

Very quickly, he saw the scene at the moment the [Gate of All Worlds] fully took shape:

Even Li Yu could not accurately describe the specific appearance of this magnificent divine artifact for a moment.

It looked like a Rubik's cube, vast beyond measure, embedded in the void.

It was purely constructed from various space-time wonders.

Every edge was a gorgeous, incomparable cosmic torrent.

Every grid seemed to represent a plane entrance, inside which were various environments from different multiverses, seemingly intercepted and used as arena battlefields.

Each of its rotations represented the inversion, or even reorganization, of a vast number of universes and planes.

How extensive was Li Yu's knowledge now?

Yet at this moment, he was still captivated by this [Gate of All Worlds].

Admittedly, this divine artifact could not compare to the Demon Star Order or the Reincarnation Heavenly Net.

But it was still incomparably resplendent and majestic.

Its power was also breathtaking.

Especially after the Toad God began to provide commentary, Li Yu felt his heart racing with excitement.

"This thing is a good treasure; those two old fogies, the Ancient Saint and the Master of the Curtain, have really gone all out this time."

"If there's a chance to snatch it... hmm, it would be nice if it ended up in my treasure vault."

"The name 'Gate of All Worlds' is quite fitting."

"Intercepting various scenes from the multiverse and placing them inside as arena battlefields is indeed a brilliant creative idea."

"But the arena is so big, and the Ancient Saint has only invited so few contestants; is it enough?"

"Hmm?"

"It seems there's infighting? The Master of the Curtain is sending an invitation to the entire Boundless Spirit Realm."

"All gods can send representatives to participate in this first Grand Tournament, as long as they can make it in time."

"There are rewards for every match won."

"And the ultimate prize is actually the Master of the Curtain personally customizing a story for the [Boundless Champion], with the main theme and the final ending decided by the champion themselves."

"It's over, who wouldn't be tempted by this?"

"As long as one can win the championship, even a mortal could ascend to godhood directly with the help of the Master of the Curtain."

"Especially since the Master of the Curtain has also promised that this Grand Tournament will be broadcast to the entire multiverse."

The Toad God's real-time commentary contained an immense amount of information.

Infighting between the Master of the Curtain and the Ancient Saint?

This was naturally fake; the two still shared a common goal, which was the plan for the collapse of the current world.

But there were indeed differences in the process.

The Master of the Curtain had another title: the Number One Dramatist of the Boundless Spirit Realm.

He was addicted to grand scenes, addicted to twists, conflicts, and changes.

In the eyes of the Ancient Saint, this Grand Tournament was merely a pretext to make the True Gods lower their guard and take the bait.

But for the Master of the Curtain, this was serious business that had to be handled properly.

Therefore, at the moment the [Gate of All Worlds] took shape, the Master of the Curtain suddenly did these things.

And as one of the oldest and most powerful Ancient Gods in the Boundless Spirit Realm.

His promise was something anyone would believe.

And so, at this moment!

Besides the Boundless Heaven's Favorites already in Wanfu City who were all throwing themselves into the Gate of All Worlds.

Streams of "flowing light" flew in from various cosmic planes beyond the Boundless Spirit Realm, falling into the divine artifact as well.

Li Yu also fell into deep thought.

Originally, he might not have participated in the first Boundless Spirit Realm Grand Tournament.

But now he had changed his mind.

The temptation was simply too great, especially the final two:

A story customized by the Master of the Curtain!

A full broadcast!

The former represented an opportunity for ascension to godhood.

The latter was fame, or one could call it legendary status.

Just imagine, this Grand Tournament would be broadcast to the multiverse; how many viewers would there be? And how astonishing would the identities and backgrounds of these viewers be?

The quantity and quality were likely unimaginable.

Once Li Yu made the decision to participate, it was even easier to find other reasons.

For instance, only by entering the Gate of All Worlds could he better utilize his role as the True Monarch of Bait; his chances of winning were not small, after all, his fishhook was still dangling a whole heap of demigod-level big fish.

The only thing to consider was which True God to represent upon entry?

According to the regulations of the Master of the Veil: only representatives of True Gods are qualified to enter the Gate of All Worlds.

Not to mention that the Spirit Venerable behind Li Yu was already a dead god.

Even if he hadn't fallen, he wouldn't dare represent the Spirit Venerable to go in; that would be no different from seeking death, and he would be swarmed by the favored ones of the gods the moment he arrived.

The Toad God also sensed Li Yu's thoughts and almost immediately sent an invitation:

"Kid!"

"Represent me; if you can take the championship under the title of [Toad God's Favored One]."

"You may enter my Toad God Treasury once at your leisure."

"You need not worry about being exposed; I can bestow upon you a drop of Toad God's blood, allowing you to directly become a Son of the Toad God."

"This can serve as my reward to you, and as for the benefits of becoming a Son of the Toad God, I need only mention one for you to understand its weight: the [Aura of Luck] will be solidified."

It had to be said, this was another great temptation.

Li Yu almost agreed immediately, but he soon realized the truth.

If he wanted to fully exert his advantages, entering as a "Toad God's Favored One" really wouldn't work.

Son of the Toad God, invincible luck.

This meant that Li Yu could remain uninjured throughout the battlefield of all worlds, but it would be impossible to take the championship; even luck had its limits.

Li Yu also knew his own situation.

He was very powerful now, with a mere Sequence Four, his combat strength crushed the legendary level.

But if he wanted to take the championship or make a big splash, his own combat strength alone would absolutely not suffice, and it might even expose his Spirit Venerable path.

There was only one path to victory: that was to borrow the power of those powerful demigods on his fishhook.

Therefore, Li Yu had to be able to borrow power openly and aboveboard without being suspected by the audience.

There were quite a few True Gods who had a friendship with Li Yu and could lend him the identity of a "Favored One."

But there seemed to be only one who met these requirements.

The Vortex God!

Only in the divinity of this alien god from beyond the heavens were there extremely powerful authorities such as "charm" and "hypnosis."

If His divine son descended onto the battlefield and had sufficient means to subtly control those demigods to serve him, then it would naturally be much more reasonable.

With this realization, Li Yu did not delay in the slightest.

The next moment!

He first politely declined the Toad God's good intentions, then directly communicated with his top-ranked benefactor.

Eating soft rice hard—Li Yu had his own way of doing things.

"Sister Yi Ge!"

"Quickly ask Lord [Vortex God] if She is willing to enter the three major multiverses from beyond the heavens."

"Does She need fame across the heavens and myriad worlds?"

"If She needs both, this younger brother of yours might be able to help."

"I only need Lord Vortex God to lend me a sufficient concentration of Vortex God divinity so that even existences at the Sovereign level cannot see through my true colors."

PS: Failed the challenge of three updates, I'm quite weak, but at least there were two updates; I'll fight again tomorrow.
