Chapter 2: Two Heavyweights 【Seeking Flowers, Monthly Tickets, and Reviews】
Unlike ordinary people or martial artists who yearn for the supreme power of reaching for the moon and stars, the emperors of the Comprehensive Martial World crave even more the legendary longevity!
The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang, the Capital
Ying Zheng, presiding over a court meeting, naturally also heard that extremely divine voice. He instinctively stood up and swept his gaze around the room.
He found that the officials of the Great Qin around him were just as bewildered and uncertain as he was.
"This is a divine encounter, it must be a divine encounter!"
Ying Zheng's expression instantly became one of extreme joy.
You know, he has always been pursuing longevity, unifying the Comprehensive Martial World, and aspiring for eternal glory!
Could it be that Heaven has sensed his sincerity and therefore sent down a divine encounter?
Unfortunately, why is it random?
Why not simply designate me to go?
Ying Zheng was somewhat unwilling. He clenched his right fist tightly and then loudly issued an order.
"Relay my decree, anyone within the Great Qin who is chosen shall be granted ten thousand taels of gold! Those who return after a year shall be granted the title of a lord!"
The Great Han Empire, Luoyang, the Capital
Liu Che, who had just finished a court meeting in the Weiyang Palace, was also excited. What emperor wouldn't seek longevity?
Well...
Except for those oddballs in the Ming Dynasty…
At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was at the peak of his power, and the Great Han Empire was also at its most prosperous.
There was truly an air of "Wherever rivers flow and the sun and moon shine, it is all the land of Han!"
Liu Che naturally also had the desire for longevity. Hearing that strange voice, he burst out laughing.
He felt that this was a divine opportunity given to him by Heaven to unify the Comprehensive Martial World!
"Relay my decree, anyone within the Great Han who is chosen shall be granted the title of a marquis! Regardless of life or death!"
The Great Ming Empire...
The Great Tang Empire...
The Great Sui Empire...
Similar decrees were issued in all the major empires of the Comprehensive Martial World.
【Now randomly selecting the first batch of candidates to travel to the other world】
【Ten, Nine, Eight…】
Soon, the voice sounded again, and everyone's faces became extremely tense.
All martial artists lacked not the courage to go to a mysterious place, and they also had a willingness to face death!
But as for ordinary people, they were completely filled with fear!
For ordinary people, being chosen by the mysterious voice wasn't necessarily a good thing.
They all knew that there were countless opportunities in this other world, but who knew what kind of dangers might lurk within?
Unfortunately, the voice wouldn't change because of the martial artists' yearning, nor would it stop counting because of the ordinary people's fear!
【…Three, Two, One!】
When the countdown stopped, a holographic screen appeared before everyone, and figures flashed across it like a slideshow.
【Great Han Dynasty, Wang Er He!】
The first person was quickly chosen – a wealthy, portly old man. Everyone crossed him off their list.
No way, he was too old!
This Wang Er He was at least eighty years old, and he was also a walking ball of fat.
If someone like that could gain opportunities in the other world, then it could only mean that the opportunities in the other world were truly worthless!
Soon, the figures on the holographic screen continued to flash.
【Great Qin Dynasty, Yan Xi!】
The second chosen person was a young man in the uniform of a house servant, appearing to be fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was still an ordinary person!
The next three were also ordinary people!
This made many of the martial artists a bit restless.
No, why aren't you choosing martial artists to go to the other world?
What good is choosing ordinary people?!
"How come it's another ordinary person?!"
"What are these ordinary people going to do in the other world? If you're going to choose, choose us martial artists!"
More than half of the slots had been filled, but they were all ordinary people?
This made many martial artists who wanted to go to the mysterious place feel a bit irritable.
However, some clever people thought it was normal.
"It's normal, there are far more ordinary people than martial artists. If one martial artist appears out of a hundred ordinary people, that's pretty good!"
"That's right, the mysterious voice's random selection is perfectly fine, because ordinary people make up the vast majority."
"Sigh, I wonder how many martial artists will be selected."
As most people expected, the next three were also ordinary people.
However, the ninth person was a bright spot!
【Liyang Empire, Nangong Pu She!】
When everyone saw that the mysterious voice described Nangong Pu She as having the cultivation of Late-Stage Houtian, all the martial artists couldn't help but get excited.
Great, finally a Late-Stage Houtian martial artist appeared!
Looking at the beautiful yet stubborn face in the projection, all the martial artists breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, a martial artist appeared. If the one who went was just an ordinary person, I guess they wouldn't even be able to explore the surface of that world, right?
"Good, good, there's finally a martial artist."
"And their cultivation isn't low, Late-Stage Houtian, they're considered a master."
"Envious, I wonder what the other world is actually like. I hope they can show us some information about the other world."
"Don't worry, that's a Late-Stage Houtian master, there's no problem."
"Yeah, if even a Late-Stage Houtian master can't find opportunities, then that world would be terrifying."
"…"
【Great Song Empire, Quanzhen Sect, Yin Zhi Ping!】
先天! (Xiantian = Innate)
Everyone thought the last one would be another ordinary person, but this time, a heavyweight martial arts master actually appeared.
The Quanzhen Sect is known as the Number One Sect in the Great Song, and its reputation is naturally known to the other empires!
Unfortunately, since the death of Wang Chongyang, the Quanzhen Sect has fallen into decline.
"Yin Zhi Ping? Who is that? I've only heard of Wang Chongyang in the Quanzhen Sect."
"I've heard of him. In the Great Song Empire, he's considered a top-tier young master. Although he's not as good as the two young grandmasters, Bei Qiao Feng and Nan Murong, he's already at the Innate Realm and is extremely powerful!"
"Damn it, why didn't that mysterious voice choose me?"
"You? A third-rate martial artist? Go there to be cannon fodder?"
"You're looking for death!"
"I'm scared of you?!"
At this moment, Yin Zhi Ping, hearing that the mysterious voice had actually chosen him, showed a look of joy.
"I was chosen?"
Yin Zhi Ping still couldn't believe it until now, after all, the previous selections had been so random.
But if he's chosen…
The path to the Dao is within reach!
He discreetly glanced at his fellow disciples who were showing envy and jealousy, and Yin Zhi Ping almost burst out laughing.
From then on, until the ninety-ninth name, most of them were ordinary people, with only a few third-rate and second-rate martial artists.
【Beili Empire, Li Han Yi!】
When Li Han Yi's name was mentioned, all the martial artists were excited!
Li Han Yi! That's the Second City Lord of Xue Yue City, one of the four famous cities of the Divine Martial Empire!
She's also the renowned top-level Grandmaster!
The Xue Yue Sword Immortal!
"Li Han Yi?! It's actually Li Han Yi!"
"Great, with the Xue Yue Sword Immortal, we can definitely explore the entire other world!"
"Don't be too optimistic, that's another world. The mysterious voice said that world has the supreme power to reach for the moon and stars."
"That's true."
"But don't worry too much, that's the Xue Yue Sword Immortal, famous throughout the land, there's no problem."
"Yeah, if even the Xue Yue Sword Immortal has problems, wouldn't everyone else be going there to be cannon fodder?"
"Hahaha, then what's the point of even playing."
