[Main Quest – The Ordinal Scale – has officially begun.]
Each pantheon will prove its strength ceiling, cooperative combat capabilities, and development system through True God Battles, Lord Battles, and Class Battles.
The True God War is conducted in an elimination tournament format. Each pantheon will fight against each other in a single round. A win earns three points, a loss earns zero points. The top 16 players with the highest total points advance to the qualifying rounds, where they will engage in 1v1 battles by drawing lots until a champion is determined.
The Lord War is a free-for-all, with each pantheon able to field a maximum of three lords, all deployed to the same world. Lords are ranked by their last remaining survival time: first place receives 105 points, second place 104 points, and so on.
[The professional battles are played in a best-of-three format between each pantheon, with two points added for each round advanced.]
[Finally, the pantheon order will be determined by total points, and rewards will be awarded.]
[Special Note: This contest of ordination will be broadcast live in its entirety. All beings across the myriad realms will witness your performance. All pantheons are urged to give it their all.]
As the notifications from all realms resounded, endless nebulae descended from the sky, countless stars shone brightly, and gods from all realms arrived with their divine towers.
Holy light, death aura, fire, lightning...
The powers of the laws, deliberately stirred by each other, were clearly distinct and refused to yield to one another, their vast divine might roaring as they collided.
Jiang Yan scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered many familiar auras among the various factions.
Zhou Yuan joined the Time God System, Nie joined the Water God System, and Klans joined the Wind God System...
The vast majority of the top-ranked powerhouses on the Abyss Ranking were discovered and brought into this competition for the order of power.
They were surrounded by a powerful aura of divine magic, and their equipment had been upgraded to divinely bestowed gear far exceeding that of ordinary legendary items.
Clearly, all pantheons have gone all out.
At the same time, just like during the fifteenth Abyss Trial.
Every living being in all the heavens and myriad realms can communicate with the will of all realms and pay homage to the gods simply by closing their eyes.
At this time, within the Star Empire, people from all walks of life were being connected to various realms.
This Sequence Conflict differs from the Fifteenth Abyss Trial; it does not involve the fortune of the real world or the corruption of the abyss, nor does it have a clear faction distinction. Therefore, most people are watching the show with a relaxed attitude.
"Can an expert analyze who should come in first?"
"Where are the Ten Wins and Ten Losses Brother? Where is the Maoshan Celestial Master? Come out and tell us!"
"Here it comes! Lord Jiang Yan has taken two divine towers by himself, while the other pantheons only have one. This is one victory. We have one victory, and they have zero. This is two victories... In conclusion, the ten victories and ten defeats are set. Lord Jiang Yan will surely win!"
"Hey, insider information: my cousin's cousin is the director of Xinghuan Integrated Processing Plant. He's already received an order to make a deck of cards that imitates the gods. The two jokers represent the Holy Light and the Undead pantheon. You get the idea, right?"
"I see, you're subtly implying that Lord Jiang Yan is a clown? How dare you!"
"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Holy crap, look...!"
As everyone chatted idly, in the ninetieth level of the abyss space, where nebulae fell, the swirling clouds gradually formed a stage, where the brilliance of thousands of stars gathered in one place.
To demonstrate the legitimacy and fairness of this contest of sequences, we are currently searching for a person of high reputation and qualified qualifications from all realms to deliver the opening address...
Search successful! Sending invitations....
At this moment, Jiang Yan, who was standing in front of the two towers, suddenly heard the voices of all realms:
"Your Excellency Jiang Yan, we have detected that you possess the most prestigious identity in all the heavens and myriad realms. Would you be willing to deliver the opening remarks for this Sequence Competition?"
Is this for real? This is a world-wide live stream! They can easily slip in some personal messages and it'll take off!
Jiang Yan silently agreed without hesitation.
Instantly, a force pulled him in, and Jiang Yan's figure appeared where the central starlight was focused.
The voice and the lines of subtitles sounded simultaneously:
[We are honored to have His Excellency Jiang Yan, the Lord of the Holy Light and the Undead Pantheon, the only Sovereign-level Lord among all realms, the savior who thwarted the Abyss Lord's conspiracy, the three-time winner of the Abyss Trials, and the initiator of the Era of Gods... to deliver the opening address for this Sequence Competition.]
As the nebula transformed into text, displaying a series of achievements behind him, even Jiang Yan was slightly dazed.
Wow, I'm already this awesome!
The other pantheon leaders watched this scene with grim expressions, but could find no reason to protest.
The mere fact that he is the leader of the Alliance of Gods is enough to crush them.
After all, if the leader of the alliance is not qualified, then the members are even less qualified.
Damn it, it's all the fault of the traitorous Song God and the Time God System, which produces nothing but useless trash.
The gods couldn't help but glare at the two of them.
"Cough cough."
At this moment, Jiang Yan, who was in the center of the stage, cleared his throat and changed his destiny to "love saint".
"Dear partners, family members, and fellow countrymen struggling against the abyss, it is an honor to be invited by all to deliver the opening address."
"As everyone knows, since ancient times, my Holy Light and the Necromancer pantheon have been the two strongest pantheons."
"This is not because we hold more than four-fifths of the universal divine positions, nor because we possess the most divine arts in the world, nor because we have the most supreme and strongest legions. Rather, it is because our determination to fight against the Abyss and our righteous character have remained unchanged."
"Please take a look, everyone." Jiang Yan spoke eloquently while waving his hand to display several images.
The first act features a stone tablet located in the High Dragon Curtain, on which is inscribed the words, "Today, sixty thousand dragon corpses are taken, with the dragon god Bahamut as guarantor."
The second scene takes place in a divine kingdom, where a tall deity carefully hands Jiang Yan a set of equipment that looks extraordinary.
The third act is when the gods vote. Faced with the questioning of the God of Time, Einart casts his vote for Jiang Yan without hesitation.
"The Dragon God was so impressed by the character of the Undead Emperor that he generously gifted the Undead Realm a large number of dragon corpses; the God of Crafts risked being questioned by other pantheons to come and give away treasures; and the inheritor of the God of Time even abandoned his original pantheon and turned to the light..."
"This reputation is the result of the tireless efforts of our predecessors throughout history."
"Today, as the successor, I will do my utmost to safeguard the glory of both pantheons."
As he spoke, Jiang Yan's gaze swept across the various pantheons.
"And you, as challengers, hope to do your best to bring me some fun."
As soon as these words came out, if they didn't have to worry about the image and the rules of all realms, the gods of all the gods would have wanted to swarm Jiang Yan on the spot and beat Jiang Yan up.
Even the effects of a Casanova couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts.
Your opening speech turned into a propaganda campaign for a personal pantheon?
It's clearly an equal contest of order, yet all other pantheons are portrayed as challengers, making them appear inferior for no reason.
This isn't just about smuggling in personal content; it's about smuggling personal content into the main film.
Of course, some deities looked somewhat conflicted, such as the music deity at the bottom.
"I feel like I should be angry... but he called me family?"
As the gods pondered their differing thoughts, the central nebula surged once more, forming 52 independent temporary mini-worlds, and announcements from all realms resounded:
[Thank you for your speech, Mr. Jiang Yan. The professional battles are now officially underway.]
