First round: Ten Worlds Advancement Competition. As the 10th place in the audition, you will become the loth world’s lord, obtaining the right to choose the competition world. Please choose.”
As soon as Wang Ye entered Infinite World of Slaughter, he received a notification.
There were a total of three rounds in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition.
The first round of elimination was the crudest. Ten thousand participants were eliminated into one hundred. Out of 10,000 Super Star-level geniuses who auditioned, only 100 would be able to enter the second round. On average, there would be 10 slots for each world.
As the 10th place in the audition, he just happened to be the last contestant to become a seeded player.
“Such preferential treatment?” Wang Ye quickly scrolled through the information of each competition world.
There was the space-time world, where Super Star-level geniuses who were proficient in the paths of time and space could display even greater combat prowess.
There was the super-energy ability world with unlimited energy, a paradise for ability users.
There was a world of power with supergravity and omnipresent dark power where the combat prowess of participants who walked the path of the physical body would increase exponentially.
Other than the world type, he could also set the size of the world, whether there were cosmic disasters, world fog, experts of the devil and demon races, and so on.
“Isn’t this a free trial version of the Infinite World of Slaughter?” Wang Ye quickly made his choice.
Taishi Star Network.
As soon as the rules of the Ten Worlds Advancement Competition were announced, it immediately caused a heated discussion.
“Every world has 10 advancement spots, including the world lord and 9 contestants with the most stars. The world lord’s advantage is too great. They can choose the venue and advance directly!”
“I don’t think so. Rather, world lords have the most pressure because as long as one kills a world lord, one will become the new world lord. After that, one can just hide and advance no matter how many stars one has. This is too worth it!”
“There are pros and cons. The competition format is quite fun. The world lord chooses the location, the other participants will choose which world they want to go to according to their ranking, 100 people in a group.”
“Is there still a need to choose? Won’t they all swarm to the tenth world with the weakest world lord? Wang Ye is from a small cosmic nation. He’s on a completely different level from the other 9 world lords.”
“You can’t say that. There are only 1000 participants in each world, and only 10 of them will advance. Even if Wang Ye is weak, if many of the top 100 experts enter, the others won’t dare to choose his world. It still depends on the overall strength.”
Very quickly, the top ten seeded players made their choices one after another.
Ah Pu chose the world of power that was most suitable for him to unleash his physical strength.
Wu Yunduo chose the super-energy world with unlimited energy.
Jiu Qu chose the battlefield world where the devil race, demon race, and human race were at war.
Yun Bufan chose the giant world with the largest map.
As seeded contestants and world lords, they would become targets. They naturally considered their choices with caution, not daring to be careless. They chose the world where they could best display their abilities.
This was their authority as world lords.
Being in the top ten did not mean that it was a certainty they would get to the next stage. Many failed in the audition.
In the main competition, the strength of each Super Star-level genius was further reduced, and anyone could be eliminated.
But when it came to Wang Ye, everyone was dumbfounded.
[Random].
Wang Ye didn’t choose anything, forming a stark contrast to the other nine world lords.
The word seemed to be provoking the other Super Star-level geniuses to go over!
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. With Wang Ye doing this, where will the other nine world lords put their faces?”
“He’s a fearless brat. This is his confidence from eliminating one of the top ten, Harriman, and becoming a seeded contestant. Compared to Wang Ye, the other nine world lords are all cowards!”
“I think he’s just being pretentious. If he loses, it’ll be plain stupid. It’ll be strange if he doesn’t get scolded to death!”
“Let’s wait and see. It’ll be fun when it’s time for the other contestants to choose later!”
Some were impressed, some were mocking, and most of them were just watching the show.
Only the citizens of the Red River Cosmic Nation had mixed feelings.
This was too much!
But they couldn’t scold Wang Ye.
After all, Wang Ye had just transferred over and was representing the Red River Cosmic Nation for the first time. The competition hadn’t even started yet… It would be too rude to start cursing him now.
But was there really no problem with this choice?
The moment he lost, it would be strange if the neighboring Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation didn’t mock them to death.
The citizens of the Red River Cosmic Nation were very uncertain, especially since not long ago, Wang Ye had sent away their cosmic nation’s stars of hope one by one…
Was he playing?

Infinite World of Slaughter.
Wang Ye, who was the first to finish choosing a location, looked at the rules while waiting in boredom.
He wasn’t treating it as a game. Instead, he had complete confidence. No matter which world it was, he would be in total control.
Due to the restrictions of the rules, he could only test out his abilities a little in the audition, but the main competition was different.
Not only did he want to win, but he also wanted to win beautifully!
He would make a name for himself!
For the current him, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.
The stronger and more famous he was, the higher his status in the hearts of the people of the Red River Cosmic Nation would be, and the greater the benefits he would receive in the Red River Cosmic Nation.
Even if he were to be eliminated in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, the nobles of the Red River Cosmic Nation wouldn’t dare to touch him.
Of course, the Red River Cosmic Nation treated him quite well. They were much more generous than the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.
After all, he had just transferred over, so the Red River Cosmic Nation would definitely try to win him over.
If he could get one of the three spots in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition, the reward would be great.
One billion dark crystals, 1,000,000 achievement points, 100 bottles of the red river’s water, and 10 times the highest reward of the audition, as well as permanent ownership of the low-grade indestructible artifact, the Will Sealing Blade, the usage rights of a middle-grade cosmic supreme treasure in the Red River Cosmic Nation’s cosmic supreme treasure vault, and an honorary 4-star cosmic citizen status!
What did honorary citizenship mean? It meant the moment he changed his nationality, he would lose his 4-star cosmic citizenship.
“It’s mainly because they’re afraid 1’11 use this as a springboard to escape.” Wang Ye was well aware.
Otherwise, they would probably have given him the right to use a high-grade cosmic supreme treasure, though he might not be able to use it…
“They’re here. The reverse selection has begun.” Wang Ye saw the contestants ranked 11th to 100th enter the ten worlds selection space.
There were three stars on their chests, representing their initial points. Killing any one of them would give one three stars.
Ultimately, every world, apart from the world lord, could have at most 9 contestants who advanced.
“I’m quite popular here.” Wang Ye couldn’t help but smile when he saw nth-ranked Ji Shanren, I3th-ranked An Huizi, i6th-ranked Bai Yushan, and I9th-ranked Santos Dawan appear on the 1000-player screen of the tenth world.
They all wanted to bully a “pushover” like him.
Unfortunately, they did not know that he was very tough.
But at the same time, the addition of these four people made the other six participants hesitate.
After all, the competition was too intense!
Ten seconds later, the contestants ranked 21-30 appeared.
They were originally full of ambition, but when they saw the list of five names in the tenth world, their hands trembled.
How could they choose?
Taishi Star Network.
After the first batch of top 100 candidates selected the worlds they wanted to go to, everyone was amazed.
The number of contestants that chose the tenth world was a little too much!
The total of contestants who chose the first to the fourth world was less than
20, but the tenth world already had 22.
“Are they crazy? Even if Wang Ye is weak, the top 100 is the real deal. There are only 10 spots. How are they going to split the spots between the 22 of them?”
“At first, they wanted to bully Wang Ye, but later on, it’s mainly due to the world being random. If there isn’t a suitable terrain in the other nine worlds, going to the tenth world is not a bad choice.”
“Right. Besides, the tenth world isn’t like the previous four worlds, where there are super experts that stand alone. This way, they can avoid the existence of natural enemies. Everyone’s strength is equal, so let’s fight. Even if they lose, they would take it willingly.”
“Such an interesting group. I’m starting to look forward to it.”
After the initial three-star contestants ranked 11-100 made their choices, the two-star contestants ranked 101-1000 were next.
The number of people on the 1,000-person screens of the ten worlds began to rise.
The number of contestants in the first four worlds rose relatively slowly while that of the fifth to ninth worlds rose quickly.
The fastest was undoubtedly the tenth world, its number of contestants increasing with a whoosh!
The fact that the world was random was highly valued.
For two-star competitors, as long as they were lucky enough to draw a good venue that was suitable for them and not for other competitors, it was completely possible for them to advance!
Wang Ye watched as the number of people kept rising.
There were a few familiar names among them.
Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s Lan Jia and Fu Yumo, who were ranked in the top 100 during the audition, had both entered this world.
It seemed that they had already discussed this beforehand. Almost half of all the other competitors from the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation had chosen his world.
Their intentions were obvious. They were going to stick together!
For those from small cosmic nations, it wasn’t easy to pass the first round. They might not even be able to get one of the top hundred spots.
It was still a good choice to form a group and, in extreme circumstances, guarantee at least one of them would pass.
What was interesting was that out of the 25 participants from the Red River Cosmic Nation, only one chose his world.
The other 24 participants were all gathered in the seventh and eighth worlds.
“They’re fearful from being killed, huh?” Wang Ye couldn’t help laughing.
Normally speaking, it would be safer to come to the tenth world with him as the leader.
However, after experiencing the audition, the Red River Cosmic Nation’s participants had a huge fear of him.
In this aspect, the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s participants were completely different.
They were not afraid!
They might even be discussing how to eliminate him now.
“In a while, I’ll let them experience the pain of the Red River Cosmic Nation’s participants.” Wang Ye looked at his tenth world as it was filled with the last contestant.
In the contestant hall’s preparation space.
Lan Jia, who was wearing a blue battle suit with the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation totem on his chest, held his battle blade and stood with his head held high, waiting for the first round of the competition to begin.
He had taken the initiative to choose Wang Ye.
He was born on the main planet, Lanshan Planet, a ten-star life planet. He had royal blood flowing in his veins, so he looked down on ordinary people like Wang Ye.
The results of the audition didn’t mean anything. He was ranked 85th, which was not necessarily worse than Wang Ye.
He had always been ranked behind Wang Ye during the audition. The latter had stolen all the limelight, which made Lan Jia very unhappy.
This was especially so since everyone compared him to Wang Ye back in his family.
This time, they finally had the chance to fight head-on!
He would prove to everyone that he, Lan Jia, was much stronger than Wang Ye.
He would eliminate this traitor from the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation!
Swoosh! The screen froze.
The 10000 Super Star-level geniuses had finished choosing and all ten worlds were full.
In an instant, the passages to the worlds lit up.
The Ten Worlds Advancement Competition began!
