Amidst a string of curses in the preparation space, the five-second countdown ended at lightning speed.

Swish, swish swish swish...

In an instant, beams of white light lit up the preparation space. When the white light dissipated, one-fifth of the contestants in the preparation space had disappeared.

Whether it's a coincidence or simply that Heaven is too lazy to seal away targets that are too powerful..., it's unclear.

Chu You, Xiao Fu, and Angel, these strong players, were not taken away.

But that's not all...

Suddenly, a dog was thrown out of the black hole that Li Qingyu had just created.

It was a completely bewildered husky.

The next second, the Heavenly Dao notification sounded again.

[Heavenly Dao: Due to Edward, a contestant from the Blood River Civilization, using the "Get Out" card, Li Qingyu, a contestant from the Magic Pet Civilization, has been kicked out of the Seventh Universe and will be randomly assigned to a different universe's Civilization Championship.]

If the Heavenly Dao's warning just now brought astonishment to everyone in the preparation space, astonishment at how quickly the Blood River Civilization had perished.

This divine guidance brought utter shock.

It even contained a hint of fear.

After all, the reason why the Blue Star contestants are always so relaxed, why they only need to think about surviving, and why they can eat hot pot and sing songs.

Everything is predicated on...

Since Chu Xuan was exiled from the Seventh Universe, Li Qingyu has stood up and brought everyone an even stronger sense of security than Chu Xuan had before!

But now...

"I...I didn't hear wrong, did I? Li Qingyu was kicked out of Universe Seven?"

"That's right, just like Chu Xuan back then."

"They're different. Chu Xuan's punishment is exile, while Li Qingyu's is being kicked out..."

"Damn it, the result is still the same. Damn it... Captain Li is gone, and I suddenly feel so panicked."

"The captains of the Americas theater are constantly changing, while the captains of the Asia theater are frequently being exiled. So, it seems that the captains of the European theater are the most resilient?"

"Regardless of how strong or weak we are, I just feel that with Captain Li gone, the competition has suddenly become much more dangerous..."

"What's so dangerous...? All that's left is the 'steamed bun civilization,' they can't be easily manipulated!"

"I hope so..."

While the contestants in the preparation space were in a state of flux,

In a corner of the preparation space, Abshasha, wearing a golden lion costume and a white bath cap, suddenly had a flash of bloodlust in the depths of his eyes.

"Hehehe... That man has finally been kicked out."

"This time we chose a weak target, so we should be able to lie low for a long time."

"Humans, let's take our time."

Abshasha's eyes gleamed with pleasure, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

........................

United Nations conference room.

Originally, they heard the Heavenly Dao's notification that the first Blood River civilization had been eliminated.

Representatives from various countries were excitedly discussing and preparing to quickly send troops to occupy Blood River Star.

After hearing the second notification that Li Qingyu had been kicked out of Universe 7.

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and everything fell silent instantly.

The shock of this news completely overshadowed the joy of about to acquire a planet. Even the representative of the Witch Kingdom, who should have been secretly delighted, unconsciously fell into an unspeakable silence.

This time, it was the Chinese representative who came to his senses first.

"Let him be exiled. It's good that he's not dead. With Li Qingyu's strength, I believe he will be able to return soon."

The Chinese representative's statement immediately brought a cheerful atmosphere back to the scene.

The representatives from the smaller countries echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, yes, it suddenly occurred to me that Li Qingyu is not Chu Xuan. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

"That's true. I believe others won't be able to come back, but I really don't believe Li Qingyu won't be able to."

"Maybe they'll be exiled today and back tomorrow!"

"That's true, they might be back in a little while."

“Li Qingyu is a player who cannot be judged by common sense.”

...

However, after agreeing for a while, some representatives from smaller countries had other ideas.

"Li Qingyu's safety is definitely not a concern, just like Chu Xuan's. I think we should worry about the safety of Blue Star first."

"What is there to worry about on Earth? All that's left is the Xi Jinping civilization, and it's a Xi Jinping civilization that's already been stabbed."

"As for the defense of Blood River Star's home territory, I believe that with everyone's efforts, occupying 50% of the area will not be difficult at all."

"I'm referring to... what happened after the match..."

"Can any of you be sure that the pig-headed creature that nearly swallowed up Earth last time we returned to the solar system, and was eventually chased away by contestant Li Qingyu, won't make a comeback?"

"Um!!??"

"this...."

.................

Their thoughts differed from those of the people on Blue Star and those in the preparation space.

Li Qingyu truly cannot go back.

At least for now, we can't go back.

He could have held on a little longer, at least enough to settle his affairs after his death and take down Xi Jinping along the way.

But what could he do? He received a system message...

That's right, it's system information.

That awesome Seventh Universe System, which carries the output of three Heavenly Daos.

Li Qingyu didn't know if the Seventh Universe System had encountered any problems, but he did receive a message.

[Seventh Universe System sends its congratulations: Detection indicates you are about to enter the Ninth Universe's Civilization Competition sequence. A small bonus task is now available...]

[1. Lead a civilization primarily composed of humans to qualify for the joint elimination tournament of the nine cosmic stellar-level universes.]

[2. Obtain a fragment of the Heavenly Dao equivalent to one percent of the complete Heavenly Dao of the main universe.]

[Friendly reminder: The final stellar-level overlord tournament will only be triggered if there are human civilizations participating in three or more universes. Please do not leave Universe 9 before qualifying for the elimination rounds.]

Upon completing either Task 1 or Task 2, you will receive a random gift pack reward. Rewards for Task 2 can be obtained repeatedly.

The past gives birth to the future, keep going!!

Hearing the system notification in his ear and looking at the white light surrounding him, Li Qingyu sighed.

"Luckily... I brought everything I needed..."

After glancing at the various treasures inside the bracelet, Li Qingyu wasn't too heartbroken.

As for the situation on Blue Star, he'd already sent the husky back, so he figured there shouldn't be any problems. If all else fails, it can still intimidate everyone with its presence and remotely project its back!

"But... I brought things I shouldn't have..."

Li Qingyu glanced at the remains of Qiao Cheng and several Blue Star contestants inside Pineapple Castle, and his lips twitched slightly.

And you know what... judging by their attire alone, these dismembered corpses, including Qiao Cheng, all seem to be women.

Could it be that the system has already calculated everything, even if the human race does not exist in the Ninth Universe?

He can also...

uh-huh!?
