484: Chapter 484 Arrival at the Grand Event Venue!

Several hours had passed since the rules for this grand event were announced.

At this moment.

The Cosmic Cloud Company spaceship was about to arrive at the outskirts of the star sector that had been modified for the grand event.

Looking out through the transparent hatch from a distance, a brilliant sea of stars shimmering with golden light lay ahead.

From afar, it gave off an indescribable sense of pilgrimage.

And now, it wasn't just the Cosmic Cloud Company's spaceship that had arrived.

Not far away, many spaceships from other major powers were also arriving one after another.

...

"It's finally about to start. Time to start being the background scenery!"

"Yeah, we're going to become the background for those ruthless characters challenging the Sacred Mountain. It's so damn frustrating!"

In the public area, Golden Flash Bear and the others sitting next to Li Fan looked at the spaceships of other forces in the distance. They couldn't help but sigh, their faces full of bitter smiles.

Listening to their comments, Li Fan, who was nearby, didn't say much.

Because what they said actually made quite a bit of sense.

If it were a normal points-based system, Contestants like them with lower-middle strength might occasionally have performances that caught the public's eye.

But now that a Sacred Mountain Challenge had been introduced.

The eyes of the entire public would be focused solely on those top-tier prodigies participating in the Sacred Mountain Challenge.

They would completely be reduced to background scenery!

"Brother Fan, this Sacred Mountain has restrictions; everyone will be limited to Domain Lord First Order. I feel like you have a very good chance of giving it a try!"

At this time, Peng Song looked at Li Fan, his face full of conviction.

As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the Wushan Seat Group Members also nodded one after another, their eyes lighting up as they looked at Li Fan.

Among them, the only one who had even a slight chance of attempting the Sacred Mountain Challenge was likely Li Fan.

And even regarding Li Fan, they didn't actually have too much confidence.

"I'll give it a shot. Maybe I won't just leave my name; if I'm lucky, I might even break a record or something."

Li Fan shrugged and smiled, his expression very calm.

His goal was actually very clear: he was aiming to leave his name and break records. However, before he actually did it, he didn't want to be too high-profile. Otherwise, if he couldn't break it, he'd be losing face.

"Break a record? You're thinking quite far ahead, aren't you?"

Just as Peng Song and the others were about to chime in with a few words of encouragement for Li Fan after hearing him, Sang Yuening's voice rang out from behind him.

Arriving along with Sang Yuening were Han Luo and Yun Yang.

Seeing the three of them arrive, Li Fan couldn't help but tease with a smile, "Oh, my three pieces of baggage are here."

The three of them weren't angry; they simply found a place to sit down on their own.

"Let's get back to business. This grand event is about to start, and I feel we need to plan our tactics in advance," Yun Yang said slowly.

Han Luo, who was beside him, nodded. "Exactly. Although the Sacred Mountain Challenge is very attractive, it's essentially a gamble. The probability of actually leaving a name or breaking a record is extremely small. Most people will lose 500,000 points for nothing.

My idea is that we first focus on hunting beasts or snatching points. Once we've acquired a certain amount of points and established a solid base, then in the later stages of the event, we can go and test the waters of the Sacred Mountain Challenge.

If the difficulty is too high, we'll have our deep points base to protect us, allowing us to advance or retreat as needed and maintain a decent ranking..."

Listening to Han Luo's plan.

Li Fan kept nodding in agreement without saying a word.

To be honest.

This plan did make a certain amount of sense.

However, the only thing not taken into account was Li Fan's strength.

Li Fan didn't plan on 'developing' properly.

Since the rules included the Sacred Mountain Challenge, then he was just going to go for it!

As soon as he accumulated 500,000 points, he would head straight for the Sacred Mountain. Forget playing it safe!

Anyway, if he really couldn't leave his name, then at the very worst, he could just go and snatch points from the prodigies who did leave their names during the final stage!

Of course, since he had currently agreed to join the team and Han Luo and the others were arranging tactics, he naturally had to listen. Well, listen for the sake of listening.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the spaceship reached the edge of that golden star sector.

As the spaceship slowly came to a halt, a voice rang out from the ship's broadcast.

"Everyone, assemble on the deck!"

"The grand event officially begins in half an hour!"

The voice rang out.

All the Students headed toward the deck together.

While walking over, Li Fan looked through the hatch at the endless, ultra-giant spaceships from various major powers on both sides. His heart couldn't help but swell with excitement.

This grand event, watched by the entire universe, was finally about to begin!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Within the virtual network servers of each seat domain, over a thousand ultra-giant virtual venues were instantly added.

There were even a hundred super servers with no seat domain restrictions. Inside these super venues, all living beings from several seat domains could log in simultaneously!

At this moment, citizens from all over the universe were logging in one after another and heading to the venues, preparing to experience the visual feast of this grand event more personally.

And now.

Live broadcasts were being simultaneously launched in every venue.

In the footage.

The continuous line of spaceships from various major powers was like a Great Wall of steel, surrounding the outskirts of that golden star sector.

Seeing the emblems of many powers on the spaceships that many citizens had only heard of in legends, quite a few people felt their breathing quicken, exceptionally excited.

"As expected of super powers! Just looking at the spaceships and the emblems on them already feels incredibly oppressive!"

"Indeed. Cosmic Cloud Company, Lingxu Company, Star Field, Source Energy Mountain, Sea of Life... I've only ever heard their names on the virtual network!"

"Who do you think will be the prodigy from which house to take first place this time?"

"Does that even need to be said? Of course, it'll be a prodigy from one of the Big Five. Compared to their foundations, other forces still have a gap!"

"No, no, no! Quite the opposite. The prodigies from the Big Five should be at the bottom because they only recruit and train current-generation prodigies. They aren't like those Hidden Family that can use the strength of their entire clan to pour resources into a single favored prodigy, sealing them for a thousand years and only letting them emerge during an era of great opportunity!"

"That's true. The foundation of the Big Five isn't in the younger generation, but in high-level combat power! In my opinion, the one who takes first place this time might be Yan Xiao of the Yan Family. He's very strong; he's just been a bit too low-profile."

"I disagree! Qi Daotian of the Qi Family is visibly strong. I think it's highly likely he'll take first, and I even feel he might break some record on the Sacred Mountain!"

"I think Di Yunfu of the Di Family should have a chance at first! He said not long ago that he would break at least two records. This probably isn't an empty boast, but backed by corresponding strength!"

"Why hasn't anyone mentioned Liu Hongyan of the Liu Family? Although she's a woman, she has also comprehended Six Strands of Law Power. Her strength is very formidable, and she's said to be as beautiful as a celestial maiden!"

"Oh? Elaborate on 'beautiful as a celestial maiden'!"

"Stop talking! Why hasn't it started yet? I can't wait!"

...
