inside was a source of divinity sufficient for a mortal to directly possess legendary-level power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if it were truly a mortal, accepting such a high concentration of divinity—even if they could withstand it—would result in them being instantly assimilated into a slave of the Vortex God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu was naturally exempt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because it was Ige who delivered the divinity, sending it to Li Yu in a way that bonded sister and brother, the process inevitably involved some teasing from Ige, who had recently become somewhat of a \"dandere\" sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his body, there was already a high concentration of Vortex God divinity, which Ige had previously shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had allowed Li Yu to spawn a fifth mutated True God organ, the [Vortex God Skin], and its strength was by no means inferior to the Cursed Hand, the Diamond Buddha Bone, the Demon Dog Brain Matter, or the Spider Queen’s Silk Bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had obtained an even larger portion, the power of this organ leaped directly to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that Li Yu was now a Son of the Vortex God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the path he walked was actually the path to godhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a gift from a True God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the effect was even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All spectators are in position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guests are beginning to enter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All contestants, please enter the Gate of All Worlds, also known as the Boundless Grand Arena;

all were heaven-reaching and earth-spanning, as if they were the manifestations of some \"Heavenly Dao\" or \"Rules,\" making it impossible for one to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the five—Haotian, Earth Mother, Red God, Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable, and the Buddha—who were clearly Sovereign-level existences, yet they never entered the Boundless Spirit Realm to preach, instead hiding in the present world, forming a realm of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the sixth figure that should have existed, the God of Heavenly Craft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was not there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that area, a chaotic darkness was faintly manifesting; endless streams of information gathered and tangled within, painting extremely complex pictures. Wisdom floated within, truth drifted, knowledge erupted, and even physical laws were born and perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone, or rather any living being, including the gods themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking over, would have a baseless premonition: \"This is the secret of Heavenly Craft; once comprehended, no matter who it is, they can become a Sovereign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an insider who knew more secrets, Li Yu saw even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether or not the God of Heavenly Craft, Fuxi, is my fellow countryman, he is definitely not a god of simple mechanical Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His divinity has already transcended the limits of mechanical intelligence and touched the level of rules, which is why even after falling, he left behind terrifying countermeasures for the [Heavenly Craft Sect], capable of standing alongside the five Sovereigns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But looking at it this way, his fall is not simple either...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While thinking, Li Yu looked toward the mysterious void in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a look of speechlessness appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For no other reason!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the \"guests\" mentioned in the Curtain Master’s ancient oracle referred to the various divine entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side of the Orthodox God camp, led by the five Sovereigns plus the remains of the Heavenly Craft God, behind them were the [Buddha Mother], [Lord of the Zhou Heaven Stars], [Thunder God], [Heavenly Lord], [Yin Heavenly Son], [Spirit-Responding Yuanjun], [Chiyou God Lord], [Great Sage]... and a host of other powerful divine entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, the Orthodox God camp consisted of nothing but Sovereigns and powerful gods; there wasn't a single weak god among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the opposing side, the Wanfu City camp, it was composed entirely of Evil Gods. First, the number of Sovereign-level Evil Gods surpassed the others, such as the [Curtain Master], [Ancient Saint], [Ten Thousand Changes], [Blood God], [Foolish God], [Kind Father], and so on, while the number of other Evil Gods completely overwhelmed the opposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone as powerful as Li Yu could not examine them in detail; for instance, he could not see what the Curtain Master and the Ancient Saint, whom he most wanted to see clearly, actually looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only roughly count them based on the divine projections that stung his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the neutral camp was even larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his final glance before entering the arena, Li Yu caught sight of the countless divine projections surrounding the top of the Gate of All Worlds, among which was the Toad God, that top-tier \"fun-loving\" god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those who came were not avatars but powerless projections, and the present world was currently in its most relaxed state, everyone who could come, came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these scenes, and the unprecedented grand spectacle that was about to unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu sighed repeatedly in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can the Curtain Master be considered to have backstabbed the [Ancient Saint]? The latter wanted to launch a plan to collapse the present world in the spotlight, but never expected the scene to become this big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is no longer just being high-profile; it's equivalent to turning a novice village event directly into a world-class one. The Curtain Master loves grand scenes and major twists; at this moment, he must be in absolute delight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This grand tournament, which he is directing, would be considered an inner-circle ticket if watched from within the present world—it's the absolute front row.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And those spectators in the various multiverses waiting for the projection broadcast are naturally holding back-row tickets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The number of True Gods is simply too many.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I previously thought that beneath the gods, all are ants, and if one cannot ascend to a divine entity, one cannot control their own destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it seems I was still naive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Boundless Spirit Realm is too vast, too vast. Accumulated over such long ages, I fear it has already reached a situation where 'demigods are no better than dogs, and True Gods walk everywhere'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My ambition should be revised to: beneath the Sovereigns, all are ants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst this somewhat absurd muttering, Li Yu, transformed into the Son of the Vortex God, rushed into the Gate of All Worlds just before the final few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of this process was also difficult for Li Yu to describe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat similar to the cross-plane teleportation of the Demon Star Order!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules of space and time, including up, down, left, right, past, and future, were briefly invalidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Li Yu landed on a \"void node.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing firm, he immediately realized that beneath his feet, he was actually stepping on a world crystal wall, and in every direction around him, there existed a different world scene. He only needed to sway slightly to make a choice and fall into one of the worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu tried his best to peer into the distance, and sure enough, through those layers of flickering crystal mirrors, he saw countless figures, all standing on the ridges of the crystal walls, presumably in the same situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the perception of the silk bait had become very weak, it still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Yu was about to conduct a more detailed investigation, a voice, ancient to the extreme, rang in the ears of all contestants and spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to transmit one's voice across the multiverse so nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the group of Sovereign-level True Gods, it was pitifully rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Curtain Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the behind-the-scenes director who abruptly created such a grand scene, the Boundless's number one dramatist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also unceremoniously took over the position of host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thoughtfully removed all the pollution from his oracle, so that all spectators could understand it safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this did not include the tens of millions of citizens of Wanfu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a few God-chosen favored ones, Demon Star Order masters, and leaders of major sects who managed to scrape by and get inner-circle tickets through connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other citizens were solidified background scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to participate in and watch this first Boundless Spirit Realm Grand Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All contestants this time are God-chosen, and all represent a True God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you do not want your own Sovereign God to lose face, contestants, you must work hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be said that he is indeed a dramatist who loves grand scenes and major conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single simple sentence, all the God-Chosen devotees who had entered the Gate of Myriad Worlds were stirred into a fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that among those who could enter this arena, few were shallow believers; almost all were fanatical God-Chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of their own True God, they were willing to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the grand tournament had truly begun, a terrifying killing intent had already begun to permeate along the countless crystal wall ridges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, I shall announce the rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are three stages in total!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first stage is Judgment Mode.
