At this moment, Shi Yu was not the only one who had obtained the information on the Totem Country's participants. The other participants from the seven nations had also obtained it.

Upon receiving the information, the legendary participants from Dong Huang and other countries became extremely solemn.

The mere origins and names of these invincible overlords from demigod forces were already overwhelming.

Moreover, the Origin Land and the Dragonkin Empire seemed to have beast tamers who could contract totems two levels above their own?

What was the point of even fighting?

Could they not play happily together?

"This World Championship is the most outrageous one I've ever watched."

Zheng Hai accompanied his master, and the Overlord Sea Legend looked at the information and said in a deep voice, "It seems I underestimated the cruelty of this World Championship. Even if you break through to the legendary level, it will still be fraught with danger."

"These participants, including those two totems, would require some effort even for me to deal with."

Zheng Hai said, "It's okay, I'm content. It's enough if Ye Xing and the others can achieve good results on behalf of Dong Huang."

"Well, it depends on what this so-called Mythical Trial inheritance is all about. If it tests combat strength, then most participants will have no advantage. But if it tests other things, there might be some hope."

The various totem countries also obtained information on the legendary participants from the seven nations.

Although each country tried to keep it secret, it was impossible to leave no trace. About 60% of the information could still be uncovered.

Among them, Dong Huang's Military Legend Ye Xing, Snowfield's Military Legend Andrei, Divine Wind's Military Legend Josen, and the Glory's Holy Maiden of the Light Church Amelia were all considered by the totem countries to have "Title Legend Combat Power."

In other words, their entire team, combined with the beast tamer's beast taming talent, could briefly contend with the totem level, possessing strength that was invincible among overlords.

The trump cards of the lower three countries—Seven Islands, Underworld Flower, and Garden Country—were relatively weaker in the eyes of the totem countries. This was because these three countries had never entered the top four in the previous three World Championships.

However, this World Championship was extraordinary after all. The totem countries looked at these three countries with higher regard, believing that their trump cards possessed "Invincible Overlord" combat power at full strength.

"And this Shi Yu..." In addition to the legendary participants from the seven nations, the totem countries also paid close attention to Shi Yu. However, Shi Yu's information was even scarcer.

Apart from the title of "First Person Under Dong Huang Legend" and "Mechanical Phantom Beast Creator," the totem countries couldn't even find out about Shi Yu's pets.

Some totem countries with connections only managed to find out about his National Competition record... That was useless. The champion was not as valuable as the title of "First Person Under Legend."

But "First Person Under Legend"... The totem countries basically wouldn't pay attention to such a title before.

The information on the other legendary participants from the seven nations was relatively comprehensive because the totem countries had started investigating them early on. As for Shi Yu, his rise was too fast. He was unknown before, and after he became famous, Dong Huang protected his information too well, making it impossible for the totem countries to get their hands on it.

However, considering the terrifying strength of Shi Yu's main body and his identity as the strongest archaeologist, few dared to underestimate Shi Yu.

Plus, his arrogant championship declaration... He wouldn't dare to say that if he didn't have real strength.

For the time being, the totem countries regarded Shi Yu as a legendary combat power at the level of a trump card from the seven nations... Although Shi Yu hadn't reached the legendary level yet.

At this moment, Shi Yu didn't know that he was being given special attention by the totem countries. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because no matter how much the totem countries investigated, they couldn't possibly know all his trump cards.

Chaos Panda, Azure Dragon Worm, Wind Kirin, Mind Domain, Self-Detonating Ginseng... Go ahead and investigate!

And Shi Yu didn't believe that the totem countries or the seven nations could have beast tamer foundations that surpassed his.

The preliminaries were still in full swing. Shi Yu didn't pay attention to Senior Lu or Gao Xuan's situation. He knew without thinking that they were all in temporary intensive training.

After learning about the information on the participants from the totem countries, they naturally had to prepare specifically. The totem countries were probably doing the same, with each country facing off against each other.

It was about the same on his side. During the two days of the preliminaries, Shi Yu focused on adjusting his condition and meditating hard to see if he could break through to the legendary level faster.

And so, the preliminaries drew to a close.

On Dong Huang's side, there was much to celebrate. Whether it was Gao Xuan, Zou Yun, or Ji Feng, they all passed the preliminaries after seven days of hard work.

Gao Xuan received guidance from the Mechanical Legend, and the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast and other mechanical pets completed their combined evolution. They loaded a large-scale weapon developed by a Mechanical Legend, and that was how he managed to pass the preliminaries by luck.

Ji Feng ultimately used the pay-to-win strategy within the rules and barely passed the preliminaries with the help of more than ten battle experiences.

Zou Yun had the most difficult time. The consortium that nurtured him was unwilling to see Zou Yun fail in the preliminaries and heavily invested in dark-type legendary resources. After Zou Yun's dark-type pets used them, they gained the ability to greatly increase their combat power in the dark. He continuously worked overtime for seven nights, only fighting in the dark each day, and barely managed to defeat a gatekeeper.

It had to be said that major events often stimulated people's potential even more. Although the gatekeeper overlords in the preliminaries had low intelligence, simple combat patterns, and incomplete life forms, their combat power was still not comparable to ordinary overlords. And now, not only Dong Huang, but also the other six countries successively had Level-6 beast tamers who passed the preliminaries through various methods seven days later.

In the end, including the preliminary participants from the totem countries, a total of 120 out of nearly 600 Level-6 beast tamers passed the preliminaries.

And among these 120 people, more than half received rewards from the World Tree.

Of course, the best reward was still Shi Yu's World Tree branch sap. Since then, there had been no rewards with a level exceeding the World Tree leaf.

This was also similar to what President Lin said. Among the Level-6 beast tamers, there were no participants that Shi Yu needed to care about.

Shi Yu's real enemies were still those trump cards from demigod forces.

After the preliminaries ended, President Lin immediately notified Shi Yu that the resources from the Archaeological Conference had arrived.

Shi Yu stopped cultivating. He was still a bit short of Level 7. He couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, but when he heard that the resources had arrived, he was immediately overjoyed.

Shi Yu emerged from the ruins and came to President Lin's side. "Mythical-level resources, two items: World Tree Fruit and Divine Soul Pearl."

"Legendary-level resources, also two items: a fragment of the Necromantic Spirit Realm and a fire-type Hollow Flame."

"Spirit Realm Fragment, Hollow Flame?" Shi Yu looked at President Lin and asked, "What are these?"

Shi Yu naturally already knew what the World Tree Fruit and Divine Soul Pearl were.

However, Shi Yu was very surprised by the two legendary resources that President Lin brought.

He vaguely remembered that they seemed to be space-type resources. He wasn't sure if he remembered correctly.

"These two resources can be said to have been specially found for you."

President Lin smiled and said, "The Spirit Realm Fragment is actually a space fragment from a ruin called the Spirit Realm. This ruin was at the mythical level and shattered for unknown reasons. A total of seven core fragments were separated, each of which is a legendary resource. After refining, it can give the soul attacks of necromantic creatures a space-breaking effect, improve spatial attainments, and also give necromantic creatures the physique to travel through space."

"You often explore ruin spaces and secret realm spaces. This kind of resource with a secondary space effect is more useful to you."

"The Hollow Flame is also a similar resource. After refining, it can not only strengthen fire-type power but also increase the user's spatial attainments, allowing their fire-type moves to more easily scorch the space crystal wall. It can be considered a space-type strange fire seed."

"I remember that General Mu Huiyin's heroic spirit is proficient in soul and sun flame power but not very proficient in space power."

"Indeed." Shi Yu nodded.

He had already gotten used to using Eleven or Worm to fight against space-type enemies.

As for the other pets, they basically relied on equipment or brute force.

For example, if Chi Tong wanted to crush a space-type pet, he could just grab a hardened iron sword enchanted with a space-shaking effect and possess it. That would be enough to kill them easily.

Therefore, he hadn't really let them specialize in cultivating space power.

The main reason was the current shortage of skill slots. Shi Yu couldn't make every pet proficient in everything.

It would be good when he reached the totem level. Then he could optimize his skills himself.

"Next is the ruin trial. Let Mu Huiyin's heroic spirit refine it and see. Even if she can only refine 10% of the power, it will be good."

"I'll also give you the World Tree Fruit. Use it if you can. You can use it to increase the skill proficiency of Chaos Panda and Azure Dragon. Although they are powerful, they have just evolved, and their racial skill proficiency is still too low. This may become their shortcoming when fighting other invincible overlords and even totems."

"As for the Divine Soul Pearl, as you said, we'll keep it in the Dong Huang Association for now."

"Okay." While President Lin and Shi Yu were talking, the sky above Inatella Island was quietly changing.

Above the island, countless green planarians flew into the sky and gathered together.

Under their combination, a magnificent green giant eagle was born. Immediately afterward, the eagle's cry, which vibrated the forest and stopped the clouds, suddenly appeared.

Buzz!!!

Under the eagle's cry, Shi Yu and President Lin only felt the surrounding space vibrate slightly.

"It's a World Tree clone."

Seeing this, President Lin and Shi Yu looked up.

"Could it be that the mythical trial is about to begin so soon?" Shi Yu said.

The preliminaries had just ended two hours ago. Couldn't they give them two days to prepare?

However, just as Shi Yu and the others thought, the green giant eagle flew in the air, circled once, attracted the attention of all life on Inatella Island, and then its voice resounded again.

"The Mythical Trial is about to begin. All World Championship participants, go to the 'Fire-type Arena' location where the preliminaries were held. I will awaken the Mythical Era's divine life form, 'Pig God,' here."

"The first Mythical Trial will have its rules set by 'Pig God.'"

Pig God!

At this moment, hundreds of forces on Inatella Island were stunned.

They had never heard of this name.

Although the Mythical Era had ended, later generations had never given up on archaeology, so they still had a bit of understanding of the Mythical Era. For example, dragons, phoenixes, and kirins were the three major mythical races of the East. These were all things that people knew.

However, no one present, including countless archaeologists and legendary demigod powerhouses, had ever heard of what kind of god Pig God was.

"The Fire-type Arena is in Dong Huang's area." Shi Yu said.

President Lin nodded and said, "Yes." The discussions in Dong Huang's area were already heating up.

Although they didn't know what kind of god Pig God was, everyone took a deep breath and understood that a divine beast that had existed since the Mythical Era was about to be awakened by the World Tree!!!

They were about to see a true god.

This World Championship was not a waste of time at all.

"What will true gods be like?" The demigod legends in various different spaces opened their eyes and looked towards the Fire-type Arena.

At this moment, the green giant eagle continued, "Pig God is a fire-type god. In the Mythical Era, it annihilated countless Starry Sky Insects and made them into food, which it shared with the gods. It treated them as they treated others. Its strength was extremely powerful."

Damn it!

The World Tree clone's words stunned not only the lives of various countries but even Shi Yu.

He had seen the Wind Kirin's dream.

Even the Wind Kirin had to escape from the Starry Sky Insects' hunt. This Pig God actually made Starry Sky Insects into food?

Although his Wind Kirin was just a cub and the rules it mastered weren't good for combat, it was certain that the Starry Sky Insects were very strong. This Pig God, who could survive to the end of the invasion war and make invaders into food, was obviously ridiculously strong.

"This Pig God must have been a major combat force in that war."

"I just... don't know what form its inheritance will take."

Discussions were raging everywhere. At the same time, the Fire-type Arena, where the Fire Serpent Overlord had been, was buzzing and shaking. The surrounding space turned completely red.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the entire Fire-type Arena was reduced to ashes. The astonishing red light seemed to burn through the space here, allowing another space to descend upon the world.

At this moment, a large area of the ground outside was directly covered in a field formed by spiral flames. In the center of the burning void, a huge figure tens of meters tall slowly took shape.

Thump.

The moment its figure was outlined, it was as if the island had trembled. Extremely profound sounds of rules appeared, suppressing all the spatial and natural forces on the island. Even the demigods in different spaces felt the violent vibrations around them. It was as if their necks were being choked, making it difficult to breathe. They only felt a heat all over their bodies.

"This rule intensity..." Each of the demigods was incredibly shocked. The legendary beast tamers' expressions became extremely serious. It was the first time in their lives that they had felt such terrifying pressure.

This Pig God gave them the feeling that although the power in its body was very weak, they would be in great danger if they fought.

Swoosh!!!

Under the sound of the rules, all the living beings on the island, including Shi Yu and the demigods who could be called mythical races, felt a suppression from their realm.

As the sound echoed, when the living beings present reacted again, the entire island had become a world of fire red. The sky and the earth had all turned red.

"I slept so long this time." In the center of the flames, the full appearance of the huge creature emerged in the flames. It had a humanoid body, with black muscles filling its legs, abdomen, and arms. A few messy dark red bristles were stained on its body, forming flame-like patterns.

Its head shocked many forces, because it was a pig's head. Although its face had demon-like flame patterns, and its long fangs were intimidating, its iconic pig nose made people clearly recognize its race at a glance.

Among the many totem countries, a group of inconspicuous pig-headed people trembled and reached out their arms, looking at the behemoth. No one had expected that the very powerful Pig God in the World Tree clone's mouth would actually be a god similar to a pig-headed person.

"Lord Pig God, according to the agreement, I'll leave the rest to you." At this moment, the green World Tree giant eagle in the sky said to Pig God.

"Got it, little one." Pig God glanced at the green giant eagle and said in a loud voice.

The conversation between the World Tree clone and Pig God shocked everyone again.

Wait a minute, wasn't the World Tree a clone of the Blue Planet's will? Shouldn't its status be very high?

Even the gods of the Mythical Era should have been nurtured by Blue Planet...

Everyone felt that there were secrets they didn't know.

Pig God looked at the World Tree clone. Others didn't know, but as a group of gods who had made a deal with Blue Planet's will and were sleeping on Inatella, how could it not know?

The World Tree, said to be a clone of Blue Planet, was actually just a spokesperson created by Blue Planet to accelerate the revival of mythology. Compared to a clone, it was more like a child who had inherited some of Blue Planet's will and power. In terms of status, it was considered a junior of their group of divine beasts who had experienced the invasion war.

After all, if they hadn't protected Blue Planet together, Blue Planet would have been completely destroyed long ago, and the World Tree would never have been born.

"These are the so-called human beast tamers?" At this moment, Pig God looked at the hundreds of thousands of lives surrounding him and the demigod powerhouses hidden in different spaces, revealing an interested expression.

Its huge fangs were gleaming, and its red eyes revealed curiosity.

Because it had been sleeping for a long time, the power in its body was now very weak, only equivalent to the overlord level. Due to the incompleteness of the world's rules, its divine skills had even fallen to quasi-divine skills. However, the pressure it exerted on the outside world was still very strong.

After all, it possessed the blood of a god. Even demigods couldn't judge Pig God's strength at this time.

"Roar..." A weak hot wind blew out of its mouth. After glancing around, it said, "Compared to the others, it's better to look at strength."

The huge Pig God raised its thick arm. White flames gathered, gradually forming a fire blade. On the tens-of-meters-long blade, liquid-like white flames rose, and a moving vitality filled the air.

Boom!

The fire blade was stabbed into the ground by Pig God.

"This—" At this moment, all the demigods were moved.

Because Pig God's move completely outshone them. In terms of control over the power of rules, they couldn't compare to this Pig God at all. The other party had actually casually condensed a fire blade that was suspected to be a mythical-level resource and contained quasi-rule power?!!

"Next, here, with humans as the main body, only fire-type creatures can be sent to fight. You will decide the strongest. The strongest can obtain my former weapon. It contains the rules of life."

"It's called the 'Spirit Ascension Blade.' With a single slash, it can give birth to souls in inanimate objects, turn seeds into divine plants, and shape bodies for souls. It was my weapon back then. Although it is already broken, it is still a rare treasure for beings who have never mastered divine skills. Come, let me see your strength. Who can take away the flame blade containing the 'rules of life,' take away the fire of life?" It laughed and looked at the many lives.

Mythical-level resource!

At this moment, all the beast tamers with fire-type pets in the seven nations were excited. All the fire-type overlords of the totem countries had eyes full of fervor. Even the totem and demigod leaders were looking at this "Spirit Ascension Blade" with fanaticism.

Without a doubt, this was a mythical-level resource that could greatly improve even demigods.

The value of this resource was even worth a totem changing its attributes and re-evolving towards the fire-type!!

"I, Punk Humm, want this resource!!!" At this moment, the Flame Dragon King, the successor of the Giant Dragon Empire who considered himself the strongest fire-type creature among the participants in this World Championship, had dragon eyes filled with greedy flames.

Hahahaha, heaven is helping it.

He didn't expect the first Mythical Trial to require fire-type creatures.

The strongest fire-type?

Wasn't that talking about it?

The totem of the Origin Land was a dual wood-lightning type, and the Tyrant Dragon King's son of the Dragonkin Empire was a pure dragon type. The dragon type contained some wood and water properties and was not a fire dragon. It was evolving towards an Azure Dragon.

These two totems were not qualified to compete. The trump cards of the upper four countries of the Seven Nations, Ye Xing, mainly cultivated star power, and his pets covered all attributes. Although he had a fire-type pet that cultivated sun power, it was not his trump card and was definitely not his opponent. Andrei of Snowfield was ice-type, Josen of Divine Wind was mechanical-type, and Amelia of Glory was also light-type.

The trump cards of the other demigod forces did not mainly cultivate fire-type either. The Dark Night Forest and the Demon Country were dark-type, the Endless Sea was water-type, the Ghost Sea was necromantic-type, the Arctic Ice Field was ice-type, the Void King's Court was space-type, and the Eternal Desert was earth-type.

In this case, no one could compete with it.

Hahahahaha.

It possessed invincible overlord strength. Coupled with the "Armor Transformation" talent of his contracted servant, it was invincible among fire-types at the overlord level.

Even if this fire of life didn't seem like something that could improve its combat power in the short term, as long as it obtained this, this World Championship would not be a loss, even if it couldn't win the final championship.

This could at least guarantee that it would embark on the path of god after the revival of mythology. This was clearly the inheritance of this Pig God!!

"Damn, fire-type."

At the same time, the Flame Shi King was as excited as the Flame Dragon King.

"Hehehehehe." Next to President Lin, there was also an excited laugh. Shi Yu's eyes were burning with flames as he said, "Fire-type is good, fire-type is good. A good start."

"We'll just give this to Chi Tong too! To save it from saying I'm being biased every day."

He and Chi Tong would cooperate. No matter what, they had to take this resource. Mine, mine, all mine.

Happy birthday to Operations Officer Vera. There will be another update in 2 hours, at 0:00, to add more for the rich woman.
