Chapter 319: Chapter319-The Myriad Worlds Tournament Begins
"The Myriad Worlds Tournament is about to begin."
"Anyone in possession of an invitation may represent Skyvault Consortium in the competition."
"In addition to the tournament’s official rewards, the Consortium will grant every participant a substantial number of contribution points."
The voice was as deep and resonant as the rumbling of the earth, yet at the same time so ethereal that it seemed both near and far. No one could determine where it came from.
The moment the announcement ended, the entire branch erupted into an uproar.
"The Myriad Worlds Tournament—the supreme competition said to gather all the strongest High Gods!"
"High Gods from layered space-time universes and countless eras will come to compete, all for the glory of being crowned ’Invincible High God’ and the tournament’s supreme treasures!"
"But the entry requirements are unbelievably strict. Only those who obtain an invitation are qualified to participate."
"And I heard that only the tiny handful of beings who truly stand at the pinnacle of the High God level have any chance of receiving one."
"It doesn’t matter. Even if we can’t participate, anyone who has reached the High God level can still go and watch!"
Some sighed in regret, while others were filled with unwillingness.
A Ninth-Order High God clenched his teeth and muttered,
"I refuse to accept this! Why didn’t I receive an invitation?"
Someone beside him sneered.
"What other reason could there be? You’re simply not strong enough."
"What did you say?!"
"I only told the truth."
As the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly tense, an elderly High God nearby shook his head gently.
"The rewards offered in previous tournaments were all astonishing."
"It is said that the champion of the last tournament obtained an inheritance crystal containing an opportunity that led directly to the Sovereign rank."
"In another tournament, the reward was a divine artifact forged from an Innate Law. It allowed its wielder to cross ranks and slay a God King-level existence."
"In any case, the rewards of every Myriad Worlds Tournament are world-shaking. Even the least valuable among them are supreme treasures related to space-time."
An invitation was not merely proof of entry.
It was also a symbol of status.
However, there were rumors that a small number of powerhouses were willing to sell their invitations—at an exorbitant price, of course.
As the tournament approached, the price of an invitation had risen by more than ten thousand times.
Inside the Lakeheart Pavilion, John narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Myriad Worlds Tournament.
He touched the scroll in his inventory that radiated a faint golden light.
It was the [Myriad Worlds Tournament Invitation Scroll] he had received as a reward after occupying the Netherworld.
"Looks like I have no reason not to attend."
At the highest level of Skyvault Consortium, Orion Sovereign and Starsea Sovereign received the news at the same time.
They exchanged a glance and paused the chess game they had been playing for a thousand years.
"The Myriad Worlds Tournament has returned," Orion Sovereign said, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Every Myriad Worlds Tournament marks a reshuffling of the powers across the myriad heavens," Starsea Sovereign said calmly. "Last time, we only placed second and were suppressed by Eternal Summit."
"That’s right. Our luck was poor that time. We ran into the dual-pupiled genius Eternal Summit had painstakingly cultivated."
"Blackgod Palace placed third, while the Tower of Myriad Treasures took fourth. No one expected that outcome."
"But this time, two newly risen powers—the Demon King Council and the Shadow Divine Court—will also be participating."
With five great factions competing, the rivalry would be even fiercer than in the previous tournament.
"I heard Eternal Summit has cultivated an even more terrifying monster this time," Orion Sovereign said with a frown. "He was born with dual pupils, Supreme Bones, an Innate Dao Body, and an undying, imperishable physique. He can practically be called a perfect creation."
"Your final disciple isn’t exactly ordinary either, is he?" Starsea Sovereign glanced at him. "Spare me the act of pretending to be weak while hiding your strength."
"The same goes for you. I heard your disciple is the reincarnation of a Greater Sovereign who chose to cultivate from the beginning again. You merely happened to pick up the bargain."
"Your disciple has deliberately suppressed his cultivation at the High God level for ten million years just to perfect that forbidden secret art. Did you think I didn’t know?"
The two smiled at one another, though the sharp light in their eyes revealed their competitive spirit.
"The Pavilion Master’s personal disciple is no simple figure either," Orion Sovereign said as his smile faded.
"A disciple personally trained by a Greater Peak Sovereign—a half-step Supreme—could hardly be weak."
"Perhaps Skyvault Consortium’s best result this time will come from him."
Starsea Sovereign fell silent for a moment before suddenly mentioning a name.
"What do you think of John?"
"Him?"
Orion Sovereign paused slightly.
"He created the Extreme Peak Demigod Tribulation and has now stepped into the High God level."
"His path of growth has been crude and forceful, without the guidance of a renowned master. But even so, his strength absolutely cannot be underestimated."
"More importantly, he possesses a World Tree Fruit."
Starsea Sovereign nodded.
"Possessing a World Tree Fruit means he has mastered at least one complete Innate Law."
"That alone places him above more than ninety percent of all High Gods."
"With his talent and that madness of his, reaching the top fifty should not be difficult."
Orion Sovereign pondered for a moment.
"His talent is exceptional, and he has already accomplished feats unprecedented throughout history."
"His foundation may be slightly lacking, but abandoning him would be a waste."
"It is time we spoke to him."
"We should have him represent Skyvault Consortium in the Myriad Worlds Tournament."
"That was my thought as well."
Starsea Sovereign picked up another chess piece and gently placed it on the board.
"John’s potential is no less than that of the disciples you and I personally cultivated."
"Giving up on him would be the true loss."
"Then let us summon him and ask," Orion Sovereign said.
"I still have a few spare invitations to the Myriad Worlds Tournament."
"As long as John is willing to participate, an invitation will not be a problem."
...
Lakeheart Pavilion.
"John, this is Starsea Sovereign."
"There are some matters concerning the Myriad Worlds Tournament that I would like to discuss with you. Are you available now?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded beside John’s ear.
It was Starsea Sovereign.
He had specifically come to seek John out.
The gap between a High God and a Sovereign-rank existence was like an uncrossable chasm.
For an ordinary High God, merely receiving a second glance from a Sovereign was already an immense honor.
If a Sovereign wished to summon someone, they could simply use a divine ability to drag that person before them. Why would they bother politely asking first?
The courtesy shown by Starsea Sovereign was enough to demonstrate how highly he valued John.
"The Myriad Worlds Tournament?"
John’s heart stirred slightly.
He possessed an invitation to the tournament, and each of the three women of Valhalla had one as well.
It was said that participating in the Myriad Worlds Tournament could grant enormous amounts of faction contribution points.
Those points could be exchanged for countless rare treasures, as well as entry qualifications for High God-level secret realms.
Anyone who reached the top fifty would receive extraordinary rewards unavailable even through the internal exchange systems of the great factions.
With so many benefits, there was naturally no reason not to participate.
"I am free at the moment," John replied.
The moment his words fell—
Whoosh.
His figure disappeared from the Lakeheart Pavilion.
In the next instant, John appeared before the two Sovereigns.
Within John’s perception, the two figures flickered in and out of existence.
They seemed to exist within this space-time, yet at the same time appeared to be nothing more than fleeting projections of light and shadow.
Sovereign-rank existences.
Their comprehension of the laws had already reached at least the fifth order, granting them power capable of overturning heaven and earth.
As for Peak Sovereigns, even the weakest among them had cultivated their laws to the ninth order.
Only the legendary Supreme realm could completely transcend the restraints imposed by the will of the universe.
