Chapter 373 - 137: Three True Gods

Most of them were locals of the Starry Sky Ancient City.

They gathered in layers upon layers, a vast, dark mass forming a sea of people.

They had packed the central plaza, sealing it off completely.

Chen Yu’s group also arrived on the high platform at the center of the plaza. Numbering over a hundred, they drew the eyes of the entire crowd.

Chen Yu was quite accustomed to this kind of scene.

It was just that the scale of today’s event was a bit larger.

As everyone from the academy gathered, a loud bell tolled.

"CLANG!!!"

The resonant toll of the bell echoed across the entire central plaza. In an instant, the clamorous square fell silent.

A divine rainbow materialized in the sky, and within it, three figures appeared in their line of sight.

Soon, the three figures descended before Chen Yu and the others.

’Three True Gods!’

Chen Yu’s heart shook as he looked at the three figures before him.

Three True Gods. This was the first time he had ever seen so many at once.

Among them was Nangong Ba’s master.

The only female True God of the three.

As for the other two True Gods, one was a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in black robes.

The other was an elderly man with silver hair who appeared quite ancient.

Only a trace of their aura emanated from them, but even that single trace felt as boundless as mountains and seas to everyone present.

True Gods—overlords of the Cosmic Level!

They were normally elusive figures, rarely seen, yet today, three True Gods had appeared at once.

Gazing upon these three True Gods, Chen Yu and the others immediately bowed in salute.

Around the massive plaza, no fewer than a million people also bowed in respect.

True Gods—guardians of the race!

It was precisely because of the existence of True Gods that the Starry Sky Ancient City was able to stand immortal.

For a race, a True God was also a one-of-a-kind guardian.

Without the protection of True Gods, the Human Race would not have its current status.

The overlords of the Starry Cosmos.

Their responsibility, strength, and status were all worthy of the reverence of hundreds of millions!

"It’s the decennial Alliance Assembly again. How quickly time flies."

The Silver-haired True God spoke. His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of every single person.

"You are all the elites of the Human Race. The Alliance Assembly is also a test of practical combat. I hope that each of you can achieve outstanding results. You will be recorded in the annals of the Human Race."

The voice entered their ears again, carrying a special kind of magic. The hundred-plus participants all felt their passions stir.

To be recorded in the annals of the Human Race—this was an unparalleled honor.

Who wouldn’t want to make a name for themselves?

For these hundred-plus elites, this was a golden opportunity.

It was also their only chance.

After this event, unless they became a True God whose fame spread across the hundreds of millions of the Human Race, few would remember them.

Following the Silver-haired True God’s impassioned speech, everyone’s spirits were roused.

On the Stellar Battlefield, there was only one way to earn merit: slaying the Alien Race.

The Silver-haired True God then announced the rules of the assembly.

A point system!

The stronger the member of the Alien Race slain, the higher the points.

A Level 7 Alien Race member: one thousand points!

A Level 8 Alien Race member: ten thousand points!

And a Level 9 Alien Race member was worth one hundred thousand points!

The highest was a Ninth Level Peak Alien Race member, worth a full one million points.

Slaying just one could allow a person to completely crush all other competitors.

However, for those present, the difficulty of taking down a Ninth Level Peak member of the Alien Race was extremely high.

Even Chen Yu was no exception.

The main reason was that the gap in power was simply too vast.

The strength of a Ninth Level Peak being could fluctuate wildly.

Perhaps people like Nangong Ba and Chen Yu could defeat one, but actually killing it was on another level of difficulty entirely.

Of course, killing members of the Alien Race below Level 7 also awarded points, but only a few hundred or even just a few dozen.

They were basically negligible, unless someone could wipe out an entire legion of the Alien Race.

The top ten contestants would all receive the Alliance’s ultimate rewards.

First place: the complete Celestial Destiny Skill from the Alliance, a reward of one hundred top-tier Divine Spirit Pearls and five thousand excellent-grade Divine Spirit Pearls, plus a direct promotion to an eighth-level member.

Second place: the complete Celestial Destiny Skill, five thousand excellent-grade Divine Spirit Pearls, and a direct promotion to an eighth-level member.

Third place: the complete Celestial Destiny Skill, one thousand excellent-grade Divine Spirit Pearls, and a direct promotion to an eighth-level member.

Fourth through tenth place: the complete Celestial Destiny Skill, one hundred excellent-grade Divine Spirit Pearls, and a direct promotion to a seventh-level member.

Although Chen Yu already knew the Alliance’s rewards, hearing them again from the Silver-haired True God’s own mouth still made his heart race.

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t moved.

Such astonishing rewards weren’t common.

One might even say this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Top-tier Divine Spirit Pearls could significantly increase one’s chances of becoming a True God.

Although he couldn’t absorb Divine Spirit Pearls yet, he would be able to once he stepped into the ninth level.

Chen Yu had already accumulated quite a few Divine Spirit Pearls, but compared to the rewards from the Alliance Assembly, his collection truly paled in comparison.

After the rules were announced, everyone received a wristband.

It had functions for positioning, life-sign monitoring, sending distress signals, and communication.

It would also record the points they earned from slaying members of the Alien Race and could even transmit combat footage in real-time.

"It’s about time. Everyone, prepare! We are about to leave the Ancient City and head to the real battlefield!"

A resonant voice rang out. The moment it faded, a massive starship appeared above the Ancient City, hovering over the central plaza.

The starship’s hangar bay doors opened, and Chen Yu’s group filed into the vessel.
