Although Ding Yun had mentioned many points to note, most people clearly hadn't paid much attention, or didn't feel there was much danger. Ding Yun was also quite helpless about this, as some people just wouldn't learn until they hit a wall, and wouldn't realize their mistakes until they suffered.
To put it bluntly, they were close to death.
Only then would they regret their past actions.
Fortunately, even if these believers met with an accident and died, their souls would be guided into the divine kingdom and they wouldn't truly perish. Therefore, Ding Yun couldn't be bothered to play the role of an annoying nagging bad guy who repeatedly lectured them.
After explaining everything that needed to be said.
She ended the live broadcast.
The registration and drawing of lots officially began.
It was only during this drawing of lots that many people finally had some sense of experience. Of course, it wasn't that many people were chosen; the number of selected individuals remained two hundred thousand. However, compared to the past where only a few dozen or hundreds were selected, and most of those not selected could only watch others get chosen online, this time many people could personally witness their acquaintances, friends, or even family members being selected.
Hahahaha, yes.
That was the experience.
The sense of experience had upgraded from watching strangers being selected to watching acquaintances and people they knew being selected.
Another change was that the proportion of selected individuals whose followers were chosen by state intervention had drastically decreased this time. Many privately organized missionary groups, and even small teams that brought their own relatives and friends as followers to preach, occupied a larger proportion.
In summary, it had gradually transitioned from a state-run model to a private-run stage. The overall quality of personnel was bound to decline, but fortunately, the quantity had increased.
From now on, it would depend on the selected individuals themselves.
Whether it was fortune or disaster, success or failure, or direct death in another world, it all depended on their abilities and whether they chose the right followers. If they only cared about relationships and brought a bunch of burdens, it wouldn't be a matter of seeking their own good fortune but of seeking their own demise.
However, Ding Yun couldn't force anything. Once they experienced death, they would naturally understand what was more important.
Therefore, in the end, she didn't say anything or offer any reminders. When the time came, she sent the selected individuals and their chosen followers to their respective worlds. The live broadcast continued simultaneously.
It wasn't only broadcast on the main planet but also on the other ten life-bearing planets where participants were present.
Although there were many participants this time, with two hundred thousand people plus their followers, totaling over six million, it wasn't a large number compared to the main planet's population of over eight billion, nearly nine billion, and the combined population of the other ten life-bearing planets, which was close to two billion.
There was still a significant gap from universal participation.
So, the live broadcast had to continue.
It also served to show the remaining people how tragic it would be to lack ability, how tragic it would be for those who were not intelligent enough or too saintly, and how tragic it would be for those who not only lacked ability themselves but also brought a group of even less capable people with them.
This was to help them recognize reality, and if they were selected to preach in another world next time, they could be more sensible, more aware of their limitations, and have a better understanding of themselves. They shouldn't expect to be like the protagonists in novels who could sweep through everything without difficulty, believing that people in other worlds were less intelligent than them.
The moment those people departed, Ding Yun had already predicted that there would be many failures, and many would die or be injured and fail due to various accidents, their own or personality flaws, or lack of knowledge.
As time passed, the results not only met Ding Yun's expectations but were even far more severe than she had imagined. Countless people failed disastrously.
The number of casualties quickly surpassed ten thousand.
It's important to remember that the standard for participating in the alien preaching plan was a cultivation level of Level Four, and Level Four individuals were absolutely superior to ordinary mortals. No matter how much ordinary mortals trained, as long as it didn't involve the extraordinary, they couldn't be a match for a Level Four cultivator. Even a Level Four cultivator who only practiced healing techniques would have a far superior physique to an ordinary person.
Yet, despite this, casualties quickly exceeded ten thousand.
One could imagine how many would have died if they didn't have cultivation.
How to describe it?
Many people truly had their own unique brand of foolishness and stupidity. The gap between ordinary people and the specially trained followers dispatched by the state was starkly evident.
The internet was almost exploding due to the failures and deaths of those people, with complaints and worries.
"Is this it? Is this it? Is this it?"
"I strongly suggest that next time, instead of a lottery, can we have an exam? A written exam plus a practical competition, and then set a score line.
Only those who exceed the score line can go and preach.
Otherwise, it's too much of a waste of slots.
Some people are so stupid that I'm almost grinding my teeth in the live stream, wishing I could rush in and kick them. And those who, after just a couple of days of preaching, cheat on their wives with local girls, what kind of people are they?
Just punish him with three hundred lashes to his body and soul!
If I were the Sun Goddess, I'd let that scoundrel turn to dust, it's too embarrassing..."
"Questionable character!"
"Is Li Huaiyang sick? People go there to preach and use divine arts to spread faith, but he's acting like a free, on-call medical team.
He's even being scolded for being slow when going to treat patients.
This is too much of an insult to the Goddess.
Doesn't he know about combining might with grace?"
"Julie is too unlucky, she directly entered a zombie world. Everyone else just needs to preach, but she has to save the world in addition to preaching.
The world she chose had a population of over six billion before the apocalypse. If she can complete the preaching mission, she'll definitely get a lot of contribution points. But now, with over fifty billion people turned into zombies, even if she succeeds, her contribution points will be reduced by more than ten times. Unless zombies can become believers."
"What's so unlucky about her? The unluckiest should be John Carr. He also entered a viral zombie apocalypse. He originally wanted to save the world.
But before he could even save anyone, the city he was in was destroyed by a nuclear missile.
He, along with thirty followers, instantly turned into dust, and even their souls were damaged to some extent. In terms of bad luck, who can compare to him!"
"When I watched the live streams of the first two batches, my thought was, 'It's not that hard, it's very simple, anyone with hands can do it.' It wasn't until I watched this batch that I realized, it's not that preaching isn't difficult, it's that the first two batches were awesome!"
"If the first two batches were considered tutorial videos, then this batch can be considered a car crash scene of homework submissions."
"After watching some people's live streams, I finally fully realized the destructive power of saintly attitudes, and the destructive power of being incompetent, stupid, and yet trying hard.
If you're trying in the wrong direction, no matter how hard you try,
You're just making things worse..."
"Forming teams on the fly or bringing your own relatives and friends is really a rip-off. Are there any like-minded individuals? Let's do some tests on each other. Thirty-one people who pass the test form a team.
Then, no matter who gets selected next time, we all go together. I feel like this way we'll have an advantage."
"Who says not! Du Huai got selected, and he brought his dad, his mom, his wife, his son, his seven aunts and eight aunts. Now the whole team is in chaos, and his words are useless. Only his son is obedient.
But his son is only twelve, what use is that!"
