As players in reality were abuzz over an announcent from the ga officials.
At the Light Church on the Nine Nether Continent, Cardinal Holland stood on a high platform, loudly announcing the top fifty nas from the first round of the Divine Son election:
"The fifth candidate, representing Linlang Pavilion, Ling Yuwei."
...
"The fourteenth candidate, representing the Bauhinia Clan of the Jialan Empire, Carolina."
...
"The thirty-ninth candidate, representing the Ron Clan of the Ao Sheng Empire, Ron Jax."
...
"The fiftieth candidate, representing the Royal Family of Jialan City, Jialan King Lin Yi."
After announcing the results, more than seventy participants in the Divine Son election were divided into two teams below the platform.
The larger team consisted of those whose nas Holland read, who smoothly advanced to the second round of the Divine Son election.
The smaller group, their faces filled with desolation, were naturally the ones eliminated.
These talented individuals, who missed the second round, were soon escorted out by a pair of Bright Knights.
Holland then ordered the collected demon cores in front of him to be put away.
So might be curious at this mont why Lin Yi ca last.
However, the reality is there is no substantial difference between the first and last rankings.
Therefore, Lin Yi didn’t foolishly hand over all his demon cores.
At the start of the selection, Lin Yi only took out a dium-level Tier Seven demon core, which he got from Ling Yuwei.
(Lin Yi’s demon cores were in his backpack, which he couldn’t take out)
Because Lin Yi knew that most people here wouldn’t have many demon cores.
Indeed, Lin Yi was right.
Among these people, aside from Gongsun Zhi and Charles, only four or five individuals took out a few demon cores, while the rest barely had one or two each.
That’s because most of them were with Lin Yi, and their demon cores were mostly with him.
Fortunately, it was so.
Otherwise, it would have been wishful thinking for Lin Yi to make it to the top fifty with only one demon core.
Of course, in that case, whether these people could return alive would have been another matter.
Lin Yi waited until everyone handed in their demon cores before deciding to take one out for scoring.
When Lin Yi took it out, he guessed that with this number of demon cores, he would rank low.
But he didn’t expect it to be the very last.
Lin Yi looked at Holland on the platform in surprise, wondering how he calculated the scores so that Lin Yi ended up last.
However, Lin Yi didn’t care too much about it.
After all, Lin Yi’s goal was to advance to the next round of the Divine Son election, not to compete for ranking.
Yet Lin Yuwei’s appearance caught Lin Yi off guard.
But by then, it was too late to stop her.
Thus, Lin Yi could only take things one step at a ti.
When the results of the first round of the Divine Son competition ca out, it imdiately caused a huge sensation among the people of Jialan City.
It was unexpected for the Jialan King to take the last place.
After all, Lin Yi’s strength was evident to all.
But despite the surprise, no one took it seriously.
After all, this ranking had no impact on the subsequent Divine Son election.
What surprised Lin Yi the most was that Pope Bradley didn’t appear this ti.
Looking at the empty seat made Lin Yi feel even heavier inside.
Holland stood on the high platform, looking at Lin Yi and the others:
"First of all, congratulations on passing the first round of the test."
Yet, faced with Holland’s congratulations, no one there could genuinely smile.
Especially Gongsun Zhi and Charles.
The two of them looked the most troubled and complex.
Due to severe exhaustion in the Demon Forest last night.
Though they were fortunate to be teleported back alive, a night’s rest wasn’t enough to get them back to peak condition.
Now they were most worried about whether the upcoming Divine Son election would involve one-on-one battles.
If that were true, nearly half of them might choose to give up.
After all, with Lin Yi, the ’god-like’ figure, present.
Even the confident Gongsun Zhi felt uneasy.
Perhaps Holland saw their concerns too, and with a mysterious smile, he said:
"Today, the election will choose one among you to inherit the position of Divine Son of our Light Church."
Upon hearing this, the crowd was instantly in an uproar.
No one expected that the position of Divine Son would be decided today.
One in fifty!
Upon hearing this news, everyone looked at each other.
At that mont, Holland interrupted their thoughts and continued:
"I know you may still have many questions and doubts in your hearts."
"But it doesn’t matter."
"Once one of you wins this position, all these questions will naturally be answered."
Then Holland began to introduce the content of this trial:
"The rules for this election are quite simple."
Holland looked at the serious crowd, with a half-smile:
"In a mont, I will teleport you all into an Illusion Array."
"The first one among you to walk out of the Illusion Array will beco the new Divine Son of our Light Church."
"And he will also be crowned by the Pope, gaining supre glory."
"Wow~"
The crowd was instantly stunned by this news:
"Illusion Array!!!"
The trial this ti only involved being the first to pass through the Illusion Array.
This result was unexpected by everyone.
Because in known Illusion Arrays, the trials focused more on a person’s willpower and insight, as well as a certain degree of luck.
But for most people here, no matter what it tested, it was better than direct combat.
Therefore, no one wanted to face the terrifying strength of Lin Yi, the Jialan King, directly.
As long as it wasn’t about power, anyone here could potentially beco the chosen one above all others.
While everyone was discussing this, only Lin Yi’s face showed a hint of anxiety and seriousness.
Ling Yuwei, always observing Lin Yi, saw this.
She asked curiously:
"Is there a problem?"
Lin Yi didn’t answer imdiately but looked at Ling Yuwei:
"Once we enter the Illusion Array, protect yourself as much as possible, then try to reunite with ."
Lin Yi still didn’t know what was inside the Illusion Array or how it related to what Pope Frederick had said.
Since Ling Yuwei’s appearance was inevitable, Lin Yi’s priority was to protect her, then make further plans.
As for everyone else...
Lin Yi could feel people’s attention focusing on him, but he didn’t care.
Just then, Holland waved his hand:
"Ladies and gentlen, good luck."
The next mont, Lin Yi found himself standing in a magnificent hall.
As Lin Yi prepared to observe his surroundings, he was shocked by the four words above the hall.
The words were written in traditional Chinese characters:
[Vast Righteous Qi]
