it was hard not to be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally does not mean the Boundless Prodigies were all turncoats wanting to replace their own master gods; in fact, it was the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were fanatics;

they were all big shots from various planes and universes of the Boundless Spirit Realm, such as a tribal leader of a certain True God's kin, a divine beast wandering the multiverse, or some special dimensional creature... and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they had all become part of the \"ratings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an event like this, let alone winning the final championship, even just standing out a little could lead to instant fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could win the championship, it would be even more extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of pure reputation, it would surpass many True Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one not so happy was likely the Ancient Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had joined forces with the Master of the Curtain to scheme against the Righteous Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand plan for collapse hadn't even started yet, and the Master of the Curtain had turned around to toy with him first, dealing him a heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Ancient Saint did not mind being upstaged, he did mind unexpected variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the attention and the more powerful participants involved, the more unknown variables there would naturally be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, things had reached this point, and he was powerless to resist, having to become a part of the audience himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he was not without profit in this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the many Boundless Prodigies, each appeared independent, with a different divine entity behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, there was more than one Boundless Prodigy under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chance of obtaining that championship reward was naturally greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grand tournament that should have provoked public anger ended up with the contestants happy, the viewers happy, and the gods happy too...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Master of the Curtain was truly worthy of being the number one dramatist of the Boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this eerie yet pleasant atmosphere, the tournament began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the countdown ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu took a step at random, making a choice for the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already seen through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contestants seemed to have a choice, but in reality, they did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because all the worlds before them were obscured by crystal walls; no one could see clearly, making it a completely blind selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Master of the Curtain had already made it clear: after falling into a world, his narrative authority would automatically generate a world full of hostility for the \"contestant.\" Since that was the case, choosing anything was the same; after all, the peril came from this Ancient God's authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the moment the contestants each fell into their worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Gate of All Worlds,\" which resembled a Boundless Rubik's Cube, also began to rotate slowly. Within each crystal lattice, a world, a Boundless Prodigy, and everything they were experiencing were reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was somewhat like a live-streaming website from Li Yu's previous life on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even something more similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was that before the eyes of all the viewers, an interface similar to a leaderboard appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ranking on the list was clearly determined by the number of viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those at the forefront at this stage were, without exception, powerful demigod-level prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently ranked first was none other than [Morning Star].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not because he was the most powerful Boundless Prodigy, but because after entering, he revealed his true form: a giant of light that reached the heavens and the earth, rich in divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply too dazzling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the viewers chose to watch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Li Yu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ranking, in the initial stage, was unsurprisingly at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Vortex God had generously lent him divinity, it was only between the legendary level and the demigod level; he was no more outstanding than other Boundless Prodigies and could not seize the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, very quickly, when Li Yu saw clearly the world he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own expression changed drastically, and he gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his ranking began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was that the world before him was truly both strange and incomparably familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This looked like an astonishing planet, or rather, the capital of a brilliant civilization. Countless scenes that had already vanished in the long river of time were now displayed before Li Yu's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those crystal towers, gem plazas, spirit bone bridges, starlight temples... the interstellar civilization's home planet Li Yu had recently seen was that Dragon Nest Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the planet before him, the latter could be called trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even more shocking was that such a brilliant star was being destroyed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starry sky had been stained a swollen purple-red; giant faces that were twisting and groaning were densely stacked in the void. Qi filled with a cloying fragrance permeated everywhere. All buildings began to animate into flesh-and-blood creations, and the ground began to grow tongues and teeth, oozing some unsightly mucus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying shriek was catalyzing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laws of physics collapsed accordingly; countless ordinary residents were vaporizing, while the strong fell into madness. Most horrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the highest point of the firmament, at the source of that shriek, a massive, hermaphroditic humanoid energy body composed purely of rainbow light, mucus, and twisted limbs was being born...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Li Yu was greatly horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many viewers also noticed this and clicked to watch one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the ranking of the crystal lattice he was in soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the home planet of the Ancient Spirit Race?

The Spirit Race powerhouses qualified to watch the screen of the Gate of All Worlds were all excited upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a female Spirit Race prophet among them, while grieving, noticed something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze locked directly onto the contestant prodigy who was about to clear the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Yu, who had transformed into the \"Son of the Vortex God,\" had undergone huge changes in both appearance and Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xing Lei had, after all, had extremely intimate contact with Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would recognize him even if he turned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While worrying for Li Yu, she became even more certain of her own \"prophecy\" in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a strong omen; could he be the savior of the Spirit Race?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Li Yu, whose ranking was soaring but who was not favored by the viewers at all, could not help but complain loudly in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to the automatic generation of a hostile world for the contestant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it plagiarizing a famous historical scene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because I am now the 'Son of the Vortex God' and am of the path of charm and flesh, you take inspiration from someone else's Evil God birth scene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the Master of the Curtain is not that creative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The complaints Li Yu made, relying on the fact that his thoughts could not be spied upon, did not last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as soon as he descended, the originally frozen world immediately activated and began to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If following normal history, then next, the galaxy ruled by this Ancient Spirit Race would be erased and devoured by the Evil God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the mother planet before us be the starting point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, at this moment, the protagonists of the world are no longer the Sinister Gods or the Spirit Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is Li Yu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless gazes filled with malice and murderous intent suddenly fell upon Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no time to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he looked up, he was first subjected to the erosion of that shrieking storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shriek, originating from the \"Sinister Gods,\" possessed the power to shatter and corrupt everything; whether it be living beings or physical laws, none could withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any other Boundless prodigy, even a demigod, they would not be faring well right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might even undergo mutation and die on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it just so happens to be him, Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was indeed uncomfortable, it could never cause his heart and soul to lose their defense, nor could it cause him to fall into corruption and mutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, something even more troublesome arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostility of the entire world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This phrase meant that as Li Yu looked around, everything was fraught with danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground, seeping with foul-smelling mucus, attempted to submerge him; buildings of living flesh collapsed toward him; lewd winds mixed with weeping and manic laughter wrapped around him...
