Deep within the ancient battlefield, numerous bizarre structures had already appeared near the spatial gate. These were palace-like weapons, released by the recently arrived powers from the Divine Realm and the Twelve Supreme Worlds. They entered their palaces to rest, awaiting the opening of the world beyond the gate.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye. The spatial gate had become very stable, its surface now resembling flowing water.
At this moment, all the beings present gathered near the spatial gate. The experts within the palaces also emerged.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying pressure descended instantly. A fiery red figure appeared outside the spatial gate – the Fire God had arrived.
"Greetings, Fire God!"
All the beings present spoke, their tones respectful.
The Fire God wore a fiery red robe and appeared as a middle-aged man. He cast a cold glance at the spatial gate, then at all the beings on the ground.
"All beings below the intermediate level, step forward!"
The Fire God declared, his voice indifferent. He drew a fiery circle on the ground with a wave of his hand.
At this moment, all beings whose strength was not at the intermediate level stepped forward, standing within the fiery circle.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The next instant, the Fire God flicked his finger, and countless fire sparks, the size of fingernails, shot towards the low-level beings. Faced with this, no one dared to resist, obediently accepting the flames as they entered their bodies.
Li Xiaotian watched this scene in secret. Over six hundred low-level beings – these were intended as scouts.
At the same time, he glanced at the areas where the Divine Realm and the Twelve Supreme Worlds' people were located. There were also many low-level beings there, but none had stepped forward to obey the Fire God's command earlier.
"You shall quickly enter the world beyond the gate. Remember, this is your choice. Whatever you obtain within that world, you must hand over half upon your return."
The Fire God spoke, gesturing with his sleeve to allow these low-level beings to enter. However, in reality, he directly sent these beings into the world beyond the gate.
In an instant, over six hundred low-level paragons entered the spatial gate. This time, the gate showed no reaction; the beings passed through unimpeded.
Seeing this, many beings still outside breathed a sigh of relief.
Entering the spatial gate was also a test. Fortunately, the low-level beings were lucky, and the gate did not harm them.
Following this, silence fell upon the scene, with everyone waiting tensely.
Meanwhile, the Fire God flew into the palace where the three individuals from the Divine Realm’s Divine Clan were. Although he was a deified expert in the Divine Realm, he had to set aside his pride when facing the Divine Clan.
Li Xiaotian observed his surroundings silently, noticing that the experts from the Divine Realm and the Twelve Supreme Worlds appeared composed. Some sat on the palace balconies, drinking fine wine and chatting, while others pointed and whispered about those present, like Li Xiaotian, who had no background.
It seemed they were not concerned about the final outcome.
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but sneer at the arrogance of the superiors.
A group of low-level paragons entered the world beyond the gate. If they returned alive, it meant the world beyond the gate was not dangerous. As for what the low-level paragons obtained, frankly speaking, everyone remaining was an intermediate-level expert. No one worried that the low-level beings would seize any heaven-defying opportunities. Even if they did, they could simply snatch it away.
As for the people from the Twelve Supreme Worlds, they probably cared even less. Firstly, ordinary opportunities held no attraction for them. Secondly, they likely knew something about the situation beyond the gate.
After waiting for three full hours, the Fire God reappeared. This time, he said nothing, but the two men and one woman from the Divine Clan retracted their palaces and flew directly towards the spatial gate, entering the world beyond.
Following them were the experts from the Ancient God Clan, the Demon Race, and the Twelve Supreme Worlds.
It seemed the world beyond the gate was not dangerous. Seeing this, Li Xiaotian's heart stirred, and he began to anticipate it.
He was too lazy to comment on the Fire God's blatant cheating.
Since the world beyond the gate was not dangerous, the Twelve Supreme Worlds' people were allowed to enter first. This was clearly to prevent them from entering too late and allowing the intermediate-level experts who were considered "grassroots" to snatch opportunities.
Now that those individuals had entered the world beyond the gate, there was virtually no danger. The low-level paragons posed no threat to them, and the intermediate-level experts who posed a threat were all waiting outside.
The crowd remained silent. Although some intermediate-level experts' eyes flashed with unwillingness, they quickly suppressed it. With the Fire God present, no one dared to voice any objections to this arrangement.
To Li Xiaotian's surprise, they, numbering around two hundred intermediate-level experts, waited outside for a full day before the Fire God finally spoke indifferently.
"You may enter now. Remember, when you encounter the esteemed guests from the Divine Realm, you must treat them with courtesy. Do whatever they ask you to do, or you know the consequences."
A divine sense filled with killing intent swept over everyone present – a warning.
"Yes! Fire God Great Lord!" All the beings present responded.
Li Xiaotian mingled with the crowd and flew towards the light in the sky, his eyes flickering. The Fire God had only emphasized the beings from the Divine Realm. Did that mean the people from the Twelve Supreme Worlds could be ignored?
He sneered inwardly. Although the people from the Twelve Supreme Worlds were considered superior, in the eyes of the Divine Realm, their status was probably the same as his own "grassroots."
"Buzz!"
Li Xiaotian stepped into the spatial gate. Instantly, a teleportation force surged through him. He abandoned all resistance, allowing the force to transport him.
After a moment of discomfort, a solid sensation reached his feet. He had entered the world beyond the gate.
"Roar!"
A furious roar erupted from behind Li Xiaotian. A sense of crisis immediately washed over him. Li Xiaotian's expression changed slightly. This was truly unlucky; encountering danger as soon as he arrived?
