"It's starting! It's starting!" Li Qianxia exclaimed excitedly, as if watching a movie.
She tilted her head and explained to Yang Qinglan, "Later, there will be a scene. Whoever is faster will appear on the big screen. These divine crystals are—"
The audience erupted in deafening screams. Those who were there were either well-prepared or experts; an ordinary person would have been blasted to death by the volume.
Amidst the roar of hundreds of billions of people, Li Qianxia and the others felt as if they had returned to being ordinary people. When they spoke normally, they could not even hear each other's voices.
boom!
The main screen lights up.
"They're here! They're here!" Li Qianxia gave up explaining to Yang Qinglan and held her hand tightly.
The wind howled, the rain poured down, the towering lighthouse swept in all directions, and the dock was packed with containers.
"Thump!" A wet, deformed hand landed on the shore, and a creature that looked like a corpse came ashore.
The information appeared on the screen.
[Participant: Eldar - Ark]
[Divine Will: The Corpse Returns to Life]
Lightning flashed by, turning the world a blinding white. The light shone on the corpse, making it appear as pale and ghastly as a Japanese doll. Combined with its soaked state, the corpse looked even more sinister and terrifying.
"Bang!" The lightning disappeared, followed by a thunderous explosion.
Amidst the thunder, the corpse darted away.
"Who?" A dock worker had just turned around when his lamp only illuminated a dark shadow.
The worker's mouth was ripped open, and the corpse burrowed inside as if hiding under a blanket.
Hmm!
The workers' terrified sobs were chilling, and many spectators hunched their shoulders.
But some viewers got caught up in the revelry.
"Ak! Ak! Ak!"
"The Spirit Race is number one! Long live the Spirit Race!"
The frenzied shouts, accompanied by the faint yet clear desperate sobs of the workers on the screen, ushered in the second stage of the ranking competition.
"Hiss—" The sound of paper being torn.
Blood streaks appeared on the worker's skin, bursting open one after another, like a doll with its threads bursting. Contestant Ark still had more than half of his body not yet inserted.
With a casual rip, Yak tore the worker apart completely, stripped off his clothes, and the corpse leaped up and disappeared from the big screen.
The scene shifts to another patrolling worker who sees a dark figure leaping across a container.
The worker wiped the rain off his face, noticed the shadow had disappeared, and turned to leave. Suddenly, the shadow pounced on his face.
The screen is the workers' visual field, but for online and offline viewers, especially those who enter the virtual environment, it's as if they've been pounced on by a shadowy figure, with gasps of surprise rising and falling.
The camera pulls up amidst the sobs of the second worker, followed by another flash of lightning. In the brief moment of light, countless hands can be vaguely seen in the lower left corner of the frame, resting on the shore.
Li Qianxia was thrilled and whispered to Yang Qinglan, "It seems that this is the experience of a dead corpse coming ashore during a rainstorm and comprehending 'Divine Will - Resurrection of the Dead'. Players, no, contestants will put themselves in the corpse's shoes and reenact this scene, but whether they can comprehend it depends on the contestants themselves!"
As he spoke, several straight, sword-like lampposts appeared on the dock in the scene, accompanied by the sound of sirens.
Gunshots rang out, and sparks flew as the bullets hit the containers.
Soon, the clouds in the sky were forcibly dispersed, and an artificial sun transformed the dock from a dark, rainy night into a clear, bright day.
"According to the intelligence I've gathered, everyone failed in this attempt to comprehend it." Li Qianxia began to look forward to the next scene.
Just as she said, the screen disappeared, and the contestant on stage who had comprehended this divine message suddenly awoke.
A faint smell of rain and the stench of corpses emanated from Yak.
"ah!
"Ak! Ak! Ak!"
Ark's fans went wild again. The rain and the stench of corpses meant that Ark had touched the threshold of 'divine will - resurrection of the dead'.
"This Spirit Race is also a super hot contender. Their race is even more adept at comprehending divine intent than the Divine Will Star People." Yaochi's exquisite and beautiful face was somewhat solemn.
She wasn't worried that Li Changzhou wouldn't advance; she was worried that he wouldn't be the first to advance.
They've staked all their money on it. Although all the money they win from Earth is theirs (the amount of money they take from Earth is the same when they put it back), their own money is still a huge sum, and they'll feel bad if they lose it.
Moreover, the odds for betting on the first option are ridiculously high, reaching 23!
"Where's my brother? Where's my brother?" Li Qianxia didn't have time to look at the screen; she started looking for Li Changzhou.
“Over there.” Yang Qinglan pointed. She and Li Changzhou were bound by a bond that would lead them to death, and they could sense each other’s location. This was far more accurate than the mysterious connection between twins.
Because there were too many contestants on the main stage, Li Changzhou and Si sat together in front of an amethyst on a side stage.
"Why is that guy sitting with Si Si?!"
"Go to hell!"
"What race is he? Destroy his planet!"
"Si Si! Si Si!"
Various missiles and debris were thrown onto the stage, only to be blocked by a layer of purple light.
Li Changzhou waved to the enthusiastic audience to express his gratitude, indicating that they didn't need to send flowers or gifts, as they were being too kind.
"From today onwards, Earthlings will have some prestige in the universe," he exclaimed with satisfaction.
Si glanced at him: "I think you've misunderstood what they meant."
To prevent interference and cheating, participants are not allowed to hear the sounds from the stands, and their own communication devices and skills are also excluded.

"Is that so?" Li Changzhou smiled.
