Chapter 168 – End of the First Four Rounds, Next Lot Was Empty?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The believers had officially defeated the four-star divine puppet and they were finally done with the ninth divine pillar!
The moment they finished the fight, Sullo’s believers were immediately sent out.
Seeing Sullo’s own abilities, as well as his believers’ strengths, caused the rest of the Gods to be extremely shocked!
Even the sovereign experts who were looking on were shocked as well by the state of events!
It was also during this time that a large portion of the geniuses on the throne list were already eliminated!
After all, the guardians of the seventh and eighth divine pillar had already possessed the power of a peak demigod.
It was definitely not something that ordinary demigod believers could compare to!
It could be seen that many believers were suffering from heavy injuries and had even died during the battle in the eighth divine pillar!
As they looked toward the ninth divine pillar, the genius gods began to break out in a cold sweat.
It was one thing if they could pass the test, but they weren’t sure if they would be able to suffer the potential losses such as losing their believers for this competition!
In the end, these believers managed to advance, but a huge price had been paid.
They had even sacrificed a lot of their believers!
It was truly a double loss!
However, Sullo’s own reputation has truly been turned around after the events of this competition.
After all, his believers were simply too powerful despite Sullo himself only being a five-star God!
His believers had actually joined forces and annihilated a four-star divine puppet!
This was almost inconceivable for a space-splitting god!
This was an existence that could shock even a sovereign expert!
After the believer trials ended, the sovereign experts who were maintaining order transported the qualifying Gods to a completely new area!
The sovereign expert casually waved his hand as a terrifying divine power instantly exploded forth!
The entire spacetime was continuously fluctuating as a Spatial Gate was instantly opened!
This was the power of a sovereign expert that far surpassed that of ordinary Gods!
Seeing this display of abilities caused Sullo and the rest of the Gods to become excited.
After all, although they possessed the innate talent of a sovereign expert, they were still far from being at that stage.
In the future, they would most likely become sovereign experts at some point in their life as well.
After the sovereign expert opened the Spatial Gate, he sent all of them to a different starfield and began to explain the rules to them once they arrived.
“Since your believers decided the first half for you, you’ll now have to be the ones fighting for your position in the second half!
“The rules of the second round are actually quite simple. It’s a battle between gods! You need to draw lots to determine the opponent. This will be a single elimination battle where only the winners will advance! Of course, because there are nine of you, there should be one empty round. Now let’s go!”
After the sovereign expert announced the competition rules, all the gods began to draw lots!
When it got to Sullo’s turn, he realized that he had actually managed to draw the empty lot. He could skip one battle!
Seeing that Sullo had gotten a battle exemption, the other Gods were unhappy at his outstanding luck and skills.
“Aiya, your luck is really good! You actually drew the empty lot! It seems that you’ll be able to escape a part of this havoc!”
“Damn, how did he manage to obtain the empty lot to skip a battle? He’s only a five star god. Even if he has powerful believers, so what? The difference between a middle god and a High God is not something he can bridge through that alone!”
“I’m so angry. It was this weakest one amongst us who was actually able to pull out the empty lot. Dammit, his luck is really good. I guess he’ll live a bit longer. Once I kill him, all his believers will be mine!”
After a moment of dissatisfaction, the genius gods decided to start their battle. After all, they still had to continue fighting despite their dissatisfaction!
Furthermore, the person in charge was a sovereign expert, an entity that they did not dare to offend!
The sovereign expert casually waved his hand as terrifying divine power continuously appeared and the world seemed to tremble underneath his feet, about to be divided into half!
Suddenly, the earth underneath them split into four sections, forming four enormous battlefields!
Naturally, the strongest amongst them was the terrifying seven-star High God, Fang Tian!
Since he was a High God, his power far surpassed the rest of them that were present!
Besides Sullo, his believers had also done quite well during the believers’ trial.
Thus, Fang Tian was the hot favorite to win the championship and had also managed to catch Sullo’s attention beforehand.
There was also the Goddess that Sullo had shared a life and death moment with to join this competition!
As a peak six-star God, her believers were also extremely powerful and she was able to pass the trials without much difficulty.
Although both Fang Tian and the Goddess had ended up with terrible losses amongst their believers, they had also managed to obtain great benefits!
As for the Goddess’ opponent, their strength was similar to the Goddess. Both of them were six-star Gods!
This would be an extremely exciting battle!
Under the sovereign expert’s orders, all the Gods officially began their battle!
The results were as expected.
The number one God on the throne list, Fang Tian, erupted with powerful strength, slamming his opponent without hesitation!
After all, the difference between a middle god and a High God was extremely terrifying!
Thus, Fang Tian’s opponent was quickly finished off.
And it seemed that on the Goddess’ side, she seemed to be having a hard time! After all, they had around the same level of strength, peak six-star Gods that were one step away from becoming High Gods themselves.
The battle seemed to be at a stalemate, with neither side backing down nor gaining the upper hand for some time.
Terrifying divine power continuously erupted, causing the earth beneath their feet to tremble.
To fight for a chance at the divine lord position, both sides went all out with their attacks, severely injuring each other in the process.
However, the goddess still relied on her tenacious willpower to gain a slight advantage in the end and defeated the other God to obtain victory!
After the goddess defeated her opponent and obtained victory, the other battles that were also ongoing were also coming to an end.
In the first round of battles that occurred, almost all the victors were at the level of a peak six-star God.
However, their opponents were still not that far off from their own strength so the battles were fierce.
Finally, the last five contestants were chosen!
Seven-star High God Fang Tian, the peak six-star Goddess, peak six-star God Li Hai, peak six-star God Ji Yue, and five-star god Sullo!
Apart from Sullo, the remaining gods were all six-star gods, and one of them was even a High God!
Sullo’s presence as a five-star God made him stand out amongst the crowd and become their target.
Once the first rounds of battle were over, the quarterfinals would begin!
All the gods would once again engage in battle!
This would determine the Gods who would be fighting in the semifinals, and there would be another empty lot to draw as well.
As such, everyone was called to draw lots before their fight.
Just before they were allowed to take their picks, one of the Gods who did not like Sullo began to express how much he would beat up Sullo if they were paired together.
After all, they were all six-star Gods or higher. It felt like pure luck that someone like Sullo had managed to continue in the competition after so long because the differences in power between a five-star and six-star God was a gap that could not be bridged overnight.
Thus, all the gods believed that the only reason Sullo had managed to reach this stage was due to his luck!
Once he was faced with their absolute power in battle, his luck would truly mean nothing!
