[The second stage has ended. Current rankings: 063, 066, 064, 079.]
[The third stage begins, and the last-ranked star system, 079, gains the choice to either "surrender in humiliation" or "fight to the death."]
Lord Jiang Yan has initiated a "do-or-die" request, which will only take effect if more than half of the lords in his faction agree.
Three notification sounds rang out.
All the lords, including Luo Qianyu, had drastic changes in expression.
"Jiang Yan, you're insane!"
Luo Qianyu exclaimed in surprise, "I know you are strong, but those three star regions are clearly united. We can't afford to lose!"
"Yeah, Boss Jiang, we still have over 3,000 points left. If we lose them all, the erosion level will increase by 0.5, and then we're really done for."
The other lords also hesitated before speaking.
This matter has had a huge impact; they cannot afford to take responsibility for it.
Jiang Yan did not respond immediately.
Silently activating the divine art of rebirth.
The destiny of a "love saint" from the First World is loaded.
In an instant, his entire demeanor changed, radiating a feeling that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.
"Believe me."
The voice was like the warm winter sun, clear and gentle.
Just three words, and everyone was mesmerized, their eyes glazed over.
“He’s so handsome, he must be right,” a lord murmured in agreement.
"I do!" A muscular man in a pink vest nodded repeatedly.
This power of destiny was difficult even for a novice merchant at the demigod level, let alone a group of lords who were only at the bronze and silver levels.
In just a few moments, the number of approvals exceeded the demand.
The reminders from all realms arrived as expected.
[Fight to the death, fight to the bitter end! Starfield 079 has chosen to launch a "do-or-die" battle. In five minutes, all participants will be teleported to the deathmatch arena. Please prepare yourselves.]
Suddenly, a stirring background music rang out throughout the entire trial space.
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and canceled the "love saint" destiny.
His rebirth power is still very weak, making it difficult for him to maintain such a powerful destiny for a long time.
If that doesn't work, then Anna will have to use her words to exert control.
The lords regained their senses.
"Trust me, I would never joke about my own clan."
Jiang Yan spoke first, his expression sincere.
The lords were slightly taken aback, and swallowed back the words of accusation they were about to utter.
Indeed, judging from their performance in the first round, these angels are terrifyingly strong, and the cost of training them must have been enormous. There's no reason for Jiang Yan to deliberately send them to their deaths.
Besides, things have come to this point, complaining and blaming are useless, so we can only choose to believe.
Those lords ranked in the top 1000 are no ordinary people. He quickly adjusted his mindset and asked:
"Whatever you need to do, Boss Jiang, just give the orders. We're willing to pay any price to win," the lords declared one after another.
"You don't need to do anything, just charge forward, leave the rest to me," Jiang Yan said with a faint smile.
The lords exchanged glances, but seeing the other party's calm and confident expression, they suppressed their doubts.
"Jiang Yan, I must remind you."
Luo Qianyu, who had been silent for a while, now had an uncertain expression.
"Based on the items stored by the Star Empire, they are very likely to possess items comparable to those of high-ranking gods, as well as some unique and restricted treasures."
"I know." Jiang Yan nodded, his expression unchanged.
Everyone has already revealed their hand.
Luo Qianyu sized up Jiang Yan for a moment, her expression softening slightly.
She turned to look at the other three islands, a strange premonition rising in her heart: Could they really win?
Meanwhile, the other three star regions were also gripped by tension.
The other party's choice was completely unexpected.
On paper, the three star regions seem to have a sure win no matter what.
But the other party was clearly not stupid.
Since they dared to launch a challenge at the risk of losing all their points and their entire clan, they must be hiding some unknown trump card.
There was no mockery of "overestimating one's abilities" as expected.
The strongest individuals from the three star regions quickly began communicating telepathically, while ordinary lords naturally dared not speak casually.
Soon, five minutes were up, and the rousing music started up again.
[Preparation time complete. You will be teleported to the arena shortly. The battle will only end after all lords agree to withdraw.]
Countless teleportation beams descended from the sky, and all the lords and troops that were swept away instantly disappeared.
A space spanning several thousand square kilometers unfolded from the void, with nearly 4,000 lords arranged according to their factions within it.
Meanwhile, the viewing channels outside were also in an uproar.
Is there still a chance? He's so confident, he must have some idea of what's going to happen.
[What a load of rubbish! Young people are ignorant and act impulsively, and now everyone has to pay the price.]
If you can't see how to win, choose to believe first.
[If we had accepted their terms earlier, everything would have been fine. Instead, we killed their communication device and are now trying to kidnap other lords.]
Some people felt a glimmer of hope as they thought about Jiang Yan's performance in the first round.
Many others couldn't help but curse and swear, since this was something that directly affected everyone's personal interests.
However, no matter how they discussed it, it wouldn't affect the outcome of the trial.
At this moment, in the deathmatch arena.
After the powerful figures from the three star regions arrived, they led their people from their respective directions to surround the enemy without hesitation, giving them no time to breathe.
The lava titan, tens of meters high, has revealed its true form.
The Cyclops was beginning to gather power in its eyes.
Giant apes, two-headed pterosaurs, fire spirits, mountain-devouring worms, goblin chariots... all sorts of strange and powerful creatures mixed together, attacking from the sky, the ground, and even underground.
"They're here, how do we fight them?"
Feeling the immense pressure coming from three sides, Luo Qianyu turned her head and asked.
"You take charge, and I'll handle the rest."
Jiang Yan also looked solemn at this moment, and quickly cast spells on his subordinates.
Luo Qianyu nodded and took out several group buff scrolls without hesitation. Her divine sense covered the entire area, communicating with the various lords to arrange their formations and combine various complementary troop types together.
The gibbon hoisted two crimson fire serpents onto a high place; these creatures could spew powerful long-range fire elemental projectiles.
War eagles carried the spherical corrosive beasts and took to the sky, ready to hurl them at the enemy camp at any moment.
At the forefront, the Ironback Beast and the Stone Giant, skilled in defense, flipped over and entered a defensive stance...
Meanwhile, the lords were not idle either. After unleashing their lord skills, they all joined the battle as instructed.
They are professionals themselves, and with their equipment, they are no weaker than other units of the same tier.
"Prepare for battle."
50 km... 30 km...
The two sides are getting closer and closer.
One side generally only has the strength of bronze to silver, while the other side not only has three times more people, but almost all of them are gold-level or above.
"Let's give them a surprise first."
Jiang Yan sensed the distance to the other party with his divine sense and gave the order.
A group of divine angels began chanting incantations.
But at this moment, a vast divine power suddenly appeared, and the terrifying power contained in the prop could be sensed even from a great distance.
