An increasingly strong sense of calling came from the east. Zhang Heng stood on his two feet, straightened his body, and widened his eyes.
He saw a stone tablet that reached from heaven to earth, standing on an equally boundless lotus.
The stone tablet is grayish white, giving off a sense of antiquity like the origin of time. The aura that everything else decays but I remain immortal, and the heaven and earth perish but I remain immortal is so concrete and real.
The stele's lotus-shaped base offers a completely different feeling. The pale blue lotus is constantly shifting, as if it possesses countless distinct petals, each in a quantum superposition. It feels ethereal and unreal, like a constantly changing, uncertain future.
The stele and the lotus, the ancient and the future, were so bizarre that Zhang Heng was dumbfounded.
Can someone tell me what's going on in the world? First, all of humanity inexplicably turned into animals, and now a terrifying existence suddenly appears.
What is going on?
Before Zhang Heng could think further, he saw the lotus seat under the stone tablet suddenly spin rapidly. As it spun, pieces of light blue lotus leaves of varying sizes flew out, forming a light blue ocean that then sank into the bodies of all the animals.
A lotus leaf, the size of a melon seed, merged with Zhang Heng's forehead. He shuddered instantly, as if being doused with icy water in the dead of winter. His limbs convulsed and he collapsed to the ground.
Although his body was in extreme discomfort, Zhang Heng felt his spirits rising. His condition improved, and his mind became more alert and flexible. It was as if the dust on the surface of his brain had been wiped away, as if he had been enlightened.
When he opened his eyes to look at the world again, he felt extremely clear-headed, and his control over his body reached an unprecedented level.
"Could it be... civilization? Now even lower animals like earthworms and ants might have a considerable degree of intelligence. But why would Lotus Seat do this?"
Zhang Heng didn't have to think for too long before he got the answer.
A small lotus leaf appeared in his mind, covered with strange and mysterious symbols.
"I can understand it even though I don't know it?"
Zhang Heng read the symbols, but the shock in his heart became increasingly difficult to suppress.
"In one day, the first global competition for the hegemony of all races will be held. This round of competition has no entry requirements. From birds and beasts to fish, from arthropods, reptiles, fish, to mammals and mollusks, everyone is eligible to participate."
"Because the pursuit of strength and evolution is an equal and inviolable right bestowed upon every animal by nature."
"The Ten Thousand Races Hegemony Sea Trials will be divided into seven major battle zones based on geographical location and living environment. They are the Frigid Ice Region, the Iron City, the Foehn Desert, the Sky-Blocking Ancient Forest, the Endless Ocean, the Vast Wilderness, and the Towering Peaks."
"The auditions consist of five rounds of life-or-death battles, one round of a Hundred Beasts Brawl, and an elimination test after each life-or-death battle. Passing all of these will grant you the title of 'Crazy Beast Warrior' on the Ancient Lotus Monument, becoming a Soldier-level Beast. Soldier-level Beasts not only have a significantly increased appetite, but can also evolve once before reaching level 10 and learn a unique skill."
"The higher the battle score, the greater the above rewards."
"Use your mind to touch the symbol at the bottom of the lotus leaf to sign up. Registration will close in one hour."
“…”
The information in the lotus leaves exploded in Zhang Heng's brain, and it took him a while to calm down.
"A war between myriad races? There are more than ten thousand species on Earth. Just imagining it gives you an idea of the tragedy and cruelty involved."
Zhang Heng didn't think about where the Wei Gu Lian Monument came from, nor did he think about the purpose of the Ten Thousand Races' Hegemony Sea Auditions, nor did he think about whether there was a conspiracy behind it?
He is just a field mouse. It is useless to think about those things. What's the point of knowing them? Can he really turn the world upside down?
Zhang Heng's only consideration was whether or not to participate.
He is just a weak field mouse. Although he has SSS-level talent, he has not grown up yet. There are many people who can deal with him.
According to the rules, the opponents matched in the auditions are completely random, and in the five life-and-death battles, as long as you are matched with an unbeatable opponent in one of them, you are doomed.
Not to mention the subsequent beast fights, where 100 animals participate in each game, but only one can survive.
The cruelty is obvious.
While Zhang Heng was still hesitating, some animals had already made their decision.
The Qinling Mountains are covered with snow.
A four-meter-long, imposing giant tiger slowly raised its head.
“Ouch!”
A tiger roared, the hills shook, and the snow on the pine needles slid down.
"My wisdom has been awakened today, but looking back at the past eight years, I was truly ignorant and chaotic. But I am the king of all beasts, the master of the mountains. How can I be left out of this sea of hegemony among all races?"
"I will prove here that the might of the tiger surpasses all other races!"
The tiger, which had just awakened to its wisdom, chose to participate without hesitation, and then its figure disappeared in the wind and snow.
The Atlantic Ocean, beneath the turbulent sea.
A huge shark was swimming slowly, and the layers of inverted triangular sharp teeth in its mouth made anyone who saw it feel cold.
"A battle of ten thousand races? There must be a lot of delicious flesh and blood!"
The great white shark swung its tail violently, and its body also disappeared into thin air.
In the southern part of the earth, there is a primeval forest that no one has ever set foot on. Giant trees that are thicker than two people can hug rise from the ground, blocking out the sky and the sun.
All the animals in the forest also looked up at the huge lotus monument in the sky.
A giant bird with white and brown feathers and enormous claws is extremely conspicuous.
When the giant bird's wingspan was spread, it was over seven meters long, and the shadow it cast covered a large area.
