Luo Yu shouted angrily, "Grandpa, is there a way to adjust the lottery for the competition?"
"Since the start of the competition, I've wanted to beat those two bastards to death, they're absolutely disgusting," he said.
Luo Tiance didn't dismiss the idea and nodded seriously, "I'll think about it, we are the hosts, there should be a way."
"These guys really take me for a pushover," Luo Yu's eyes flashed coldly. "Wait until seven days later, I'll show them what true despair is."
Luo Yu was fearless.
Not to mention that his strength had already improved beyond compare.
The Terracotta Soldiers awaiting summoning and control in the First Emperor's Mausoleum at the foot of Mt. Li were no joke.
A true weapon of mass destruction.
He licked his lips, already looking forward to the feast in seven days, worried that his strength was improving too slowly.
While the major foreign forces were scheming against Great Xia, Luo Yu also had his own plans.
Who was the hunter and who was the prey could not be determined until the very last moment.
In the days that followed.
The events continued to ferment online and in daily life, the world competition had become a hot topic of discussion.
Whoever won the world competition would undoubtedly be the true world hegemon.
The pre-competition online poll showed.
Mount Olympus had the highest chance of winning, reaching sixty-seven percent.
While the Pantheon Temple was second at twenty-one percent.
The remaining were the Dark Council and the Ancient Buddha Holy Land.
Great Xia, generally seen as the underdog, had a mere three percent chance of victory, too weak overall.
Even Takamanopara had a higher chance of victory than Great Xia, at four percent.
Amaterasu and Tian Yu's blessed God's Children were generally trusted, while Luo Yu, despite his impressive combat power, wasn't favored as no gods had shown themselves behind him.
At the foot of Mount Li, the Da'an Base City Lord, a First Rank Summit powerhouse named Zhu Tianyan, was leading the relocation of the city's citizens to the nearby Da Nan Base City.
Although he was at the First Rank Summit, he chose not to risk breaking into Transcendence because he lacked a solid foundation.
This relocation was also a reluctant choice.
With Mt. Li chosen as the location for the world competition, Da'an Base City was too close to Mt. Li.
If something bad really happened, all the civilians would be at risk.
Considering the bigger picture, they had no choice but to leave their homes and relocate.
If it were any other time, such a sudden relocation method would not be accepted by the people.
But this time was different, as Luo Tiance and the God's Child, Luo Yu, called for it together, and the people trusted them both.
The former was the guardian god of a past era of Great Xia.
The latter was the hope for the new era of Great Xia.
With the two pillars of Great Xia from the past and the future speaking out, naturally, all the people complied.
With the assistance of Great Xia's powerhouses and the cooperation of the citizens, the entire Great Capital Base turned into a ghost town.
Foreign forces, of course, easily caught wind of Great Xia's actions, but no one cared.
After all, even if you can sense our intentions, it's useless. With so many foreign forces arriving simultaneously, are you sure Great Xia can stop anything if we decide to act? We'd still do as we please.
"Boom, boom!"
Luo Yu floated above Mt. Li, looking down.
Construction was in full swing at the base of the mountain, with restrooms being erected, award podiums, broadcast booths, and the opening ceremony venue.
But two crucial buildings were missing.
There were no arenas or stands.
Luo Tiance decided against setting up stands, worrying that he wouldn't be able to protect the spectators in case of an accident.
The reason for not having an arena was because the battles of Transcendence were too astonishing.
The alloy materials developed by humans now could not withstand the full force of a Transcendent Powerhouse, and anything built would shatter into nothingness once the battle started.
So it was ultimately decided that the combat would take place in the sky to avoid damaging the earth.
And those responsible for live broadcasting the scene and carrying the cameras were all First Rank Summit strongmen.
Ordinary martial artists wouldn't do, as they could easily be killed by the shockwaves.
"The construction is nearly complete," Luo Yu noted as he saw the workers below beginning the final wrap-up.
There were relevant personnel inspecting the completion.
He wasn't here to sightsee, but to sense once more whether the Terracotta Soldiers under the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor were still under his control; otherwise, it could lead to trouble when the time came.
Everything was normal.
Luo Yu pondered that aside from the world competition, he needed to find the owners of the last two handprints on the Bronze Gate.
One belonged to the White-Haired Goddess, who was at the bottom of the Changbai Mountain Heavenly Pool, doing something unknown.
The other, a fierce beast's claw, still had no lead.
But Luo Yu had already thought of a way to bring out the latter. In two more days, once the competition began, his Bagua Bronze Mirror's prophecy's cooldown would end.
He could divine once more to find the other's whereabouts.
The phone rang, and Luo Yu answered the call; it was Luo Tiance.
"What's the situation with the old man?"
Luo Tiance's voice sounded strange, "Get home quickly, there's a woman looking for you."
"Huh?"
Luo Yu was puzzled.
Everyone knew he was preparing for the competition, so no one had disturbed him.
So who had gone to his house?
"Whoosh!"
Luo Yu rushed toward the Great Capital Base City, flying through the sky.
After traveling for half a Shichen, Luo Yu landed in the lush, green manor and pushed open the villa's front door.
Luo Tiance was sitting alone on the living room sofa.
"What woman? There's no one here," Luo Yu asked as soon as he entered.
Luo Tiance pointed upward.
"She's upstairs."
"Three of them."
"Each not weaker than Transcendence in terms of strength, where did you find such friends, kid?"
"Not only are they strong, but they are also quite beautiful and very polite in their speech. They wouldn't be granddaughters-in-law you found for me, would they?"
Luo Yu was dumbfounded.
Transcendence.
Beautiful.
Three women.
Could it be the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters? Or the silver-haired beauty who saved me, or Bi Bidong, Xiaowu, Luo Meier?
After all, their strengths are unfathomable.
Seeing Luo Yu deep in thought and reminiscence, Luo Tiance's mouth twitched, and he gave him a kick:
"What's the situation with you, kid?"
"You still need to think about who it could be?"
"How many girls have you provoked?"
Luo Yu said speechlessly, "I really haven't provoked anyone, they came looking for me on their own."
"I don't care about that."
Luo Tiance waved his hand, "This is young people's business; I won't interfere."
"You talk, I'm busy. I'm off."
Luo Tiance left the villa, still feeling puzzled. Where on earth had these three transcendent women come from?
They didn't seem to belong to any foreign forces.
Luo Yu went upstairs, but there wasn't a sound, which made him wonder if his grandfather was teasing him.
After opening the door to his own bedroom, he was immediately struck by the sight.
Three incredibly beautiful women sitting on the bed.
One, with a silver hairpin in her hair, fair-skinned with splendid eyebrows, a hot figure in a cheongsam, her legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, revealing snowy white skin.
The stockings-wrapped feet teasingly perched in high heels.
Luo Yu shifted his gaze and discovered that the beauty beside this mature woman bore an identical appearance.
Though also dressed in a cheongsam, complete with high heels and stockings, her aura was distinctly livelier, her eyes radiating a charm both seductive and innocent.
Good heavens, twins just like the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters?
The one sitting on the far right was a young girl in lace fairy stockings with long hair draped over her shoulders, bright eyes, white teeth, and lips as red and moist as roses; her Kazilan big eyes brimming with a vibrant spirit.
The entire person looked both pure and alluring.
Luo Yu was secretly shocked; another three beauties had come knocking, their looks not inferior to the women before.
In his previous life, had he poked a hornet's nest of fairies, for so many beauties to seek him out so proactively?
While Luo Yu sized up the three women, they were naturally also observing him.
Seeing Luo Yu's familiar face that haunted their dreams, all three women's delicate bodies shivered.
Eighteen years it had been.
They had kept their distance due to a promise made with The Venerable Sovereign.
"You are..."
Luo Yu's mind stirred, feeling a sense of familiarity toward the trio.
With his strength growing ever more powerful, he was increasingly aware that he seemed to lack memories from a certain part of his life.
Yet, he was confused; eighteen years of memory seemed complete. It couldn't possibly include a past life, could it?
He shook his head, "Are you also with the Zhu Zhuqing and the others?"
The woman in the flesh-colored stockings and cheongsam, A'yin, nodded, "That's right."
"I've missed you so much."
Ning Rongrong's ethereal and excited voice rang out as she leapt forward without any hint of unfamiliarity.
