Translator: 549690339
News about Du Gang was all over the internet, yet he himself was clueless.
After his first-round victory, instead of leaving the battlefield, he returned to the waiting area, ready for the matching of the second round contest.
At this moment, in the sky above the waiting area, the state of a hundred arenas was hanging.
It didn’t show the specific battle scenes, but the remaining number of people on each arena and the names of those still in the arena.
About half of them had already finished their matches, while the rest were still continuously battling.
“The Ancient God has come out!”
At this moment, those staying in the waiting area also noticed Du Gang and started whispering among themselves.
Even though they were contestants from different cosmic nations and came from different places, they had already heard of the name of the Ancient God.
Because, in their respective cosmic nations, those best Sector Lords at Ninth Rank were taken by their family elders to Pangu Continent. “It is said that he is the one who initiated the Golden Age!”
“But he is obviously still competing with us…”
“The Golden Age won’t end so quickly, it is said that the last Golden Age lasted for a full hundred years…”
“You mean, is this Du Gang going to break through to the Ninth Rank Sector Lord in a hundred years?”
Everyone present was somewhat incredulous. These people, most of them were under ten thousand years old, with just a few approaching ten thousand.
They were all too aware of the difficulty of breaking through to Sector Lord level. Generally, without one or two thousand years, it’s hardly possible to reach the Second Rank from Rank One Sector Lord.
“In a hundred years’ time, I think, he might not even reach the Second Rank Sector Lord level…
“Who knows, the Golden Age always feels mysterious. I wonder if those old guys are just crazy because they’ve been unable to break through to the Eternal Level for so long…”
If the older generation heard these people’s words, they would be rendered speechless because the older ones once underwent a similar process. “Compared to Du Gang, I’m more curious about the strength of Qin Yanghua!” “Qin Yanghua, the champion of Penglai Island’s competition zone?”
“Yes, him, do you know what his cultivation level is?”
“He’s supposedly a Rank Six Sector Lord…”
“Rank Six? But I heard that he seems to have defeated a Ninth Rank Sector
Lord!”
“What?!”
Somebody exclaimed in surprise: “He defeated a Ninth Rank Sector Lord? How is that possible?!”
If it was said that characters like Kong Xu achieved this, nobody would be surprised, but the problem was, those who could reach the Ninth Rank Sector Lord level have at least cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
And no matter how old Qin Yanghua is, by being able to participate in this competition, it indicates his age is less than ten thousand years old.
“Kong Xu, Yu Shuiyao, Jiang Wenxing – these should be the youngest people to reach the Ninth Rank Sector Lord level, right?”
“It seems they took at least thirty to forty thousand years to reach the Ninth Rank Sector Lord level. Is Qin Yanghua that powerful?”
“It’s not thirty to forty thousand years. Jiang Wenxing and Kong Xu participated in the last competition, they’re at most twenty thousand years old now, and Yu Shuiyao is, from the competition before the last one, over twenty-five thousand years old…”
“What about the ones from the previous generation?”
“The last generation supposedly can’t compete, with the strongest only reaching Seventh-Rank Sector Lord so far. They didn’t qualify for this Golden Age competition.”
Someone questioned, “Then what about the earlier prodigies?”
“Aren’t they participating in this Golden Age competition?”
“They are, but not from the very beginning. The ones who first participate are these young descendants. In the eyes of their families, youth symbolizes hope. Naturally, they want these excellently talented young people to have contact with Du Gang first…”
“It’s said that during the last Golden Age, not only the younger generation, but many old figures who have lived for several hundreds of millions of years also sprung into action…”
At first, Du Gang was quite bored, but hearing these people gossiping, he found it quite interesting.
These idle chats brought many pieces of information, such as the fact that Yu Shuiyao was over twenty-five thousand years old.
“A witch, huh?”
Compared to his 119 years, Yu Shuiyao was indeed much older.
“I can’t believe I considered stealing an old lady who’s over twenty thousand years old…”
Soon, time gradually passed amidst the idle chatter of the crowd.
“Boom!”
With all the matches on the arenas concluded, the second round competition started again.
“Swoosh!”
Just like before, this time the remaining hundred thousand participants were divided into a thousand arenas, with a hundred people in each arena. Only the top ten from each arena would advance to the next round.
“Boom!”
After everyone was refreshed onto the arenas, they each began to look around.
Everyone was curious to know who their opponents were.
However, the information that could be obtained here was limited. Everyone could only judge the strength of their opponents by the information on their heads representing their qualifying contest scores.
Suddenly, Du Gang came across a guy he’d encountered on the arena last round.
Mu Nuogai!
A contender from Penglai Island, ranked eight hundred thousand.
Soon, this contender spotted Du Gang. Seeing him looking at himself, he immediately showed an awkward smile.
After all, in the last round, over a hundred people, including him, had ganged up against Du Gang, although they ended up losing.
Oh no, I encountered him again. I was lucky last round, and was one of the last ten people standing.
Would he pick a fight with me again this round?
I hope Du Gang won’t target me…
Mu Nuogai was a little nervous. Although he knew what his actual abilities were, and getting to the second round was already quite lucky, he still couldn’t help but wish to hold on a little longer.
On the other side, Du Gang didn’t really care about Mu Nuogai. To him, he was just another lucky guy.
His eyes quickly scanned the crowd and soon he saw nearly ten participants who finished first in their respective qualifying contests.
Even more, he noticed a contender who ranked eight hundred from Penglai Island’s competition.
Ranking eight hundred. This was a contender eligible to enter the finals!
“Xia Hongshen, a member of the Xia Family…” “The Xia Family? What’s his relationship with Xia Yuhou?”
“No relationship, I guess. They might just be kin…”
Xia Yuhou, the second strongest contender in Penglai Island’s contest!
While Du Gang wasn’t too concerned about his opponents, he did know some about those who ranked in the top few in Penglai Island.
Rank eight hundred indeed isn’t low. In this arena, he could rightfully be considered one of the strong ones.
“I just wonder what level Xia Hongshen is…”
As Du Gang was deep in thought, the others recognized him and began to shout out.
“It’s the Ancient God! He’s in our arena with us!”
This time, even the usually composed Xia Hongshen, who enjoyed the gazes of the crowd, turned his head to look over.
The name of the Ancient God was too well-known; people simply couldn’t ignore it even if they wanted to.
Hearing the whispers of surprise around him, Du Gang couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
“I can’t help it. Being famous comes with its own troubles. I want to keep a low profile too, but my strength simply doesn’t allow it!”
Sure enough, not long after he thought that, Xia Hongshen started to provoke him, saying: “Ancient God, I didn’t expect to run into you…”
“They all say you’re the harbinger of this Golden Age. It sounds quite mysterious…”
“No matter how great you might be in the future, today, I will make you taste the bitterness of defeat!”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene got excited.
The hundred-strong arena’s strongest contender had set his sights on another famous contender; for them, this was certainly good news.
Du Gang smiled, saying, “Those who have said such words to me numbered more than eight hundred if not a thousand…’
“Without exception, all of them ended up embarrassing themselves!”
He was quite experienced at dealing with provocations, and he handled it in a calm and composed manner.
However, the opponent was not so composed.
Xia Hongshen, clearly bothered by the jab, had his eyes turn red in anger. He was panting heavily, much like a raging black bull, and furiously said: “Later, you’ll be the first to get eliminated!”
Du Gang shrugged, saying indifferently, “What if I’m not the first to get eliminated?”
“If that happens…”
“If that happens…”
Xia Hongshen repeated “If that happens” several times, but in the end, he didn’t dare to make a promise.
Compared to defetaing Du Gang, being the firts to eliminate Du Gang would be much harder.
“Hmph!”
In the end, Xia Hongshen snorted coldly, fixing his gaze on the countdown suspended in mid-air, without uttering another word.
Clearly, what he was thinking about now was undoubtedly to eliminate Du Gang as soon as the countdown ended.
At this outcome, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the strongest competitor had clashed with the most famous one, their respective chances had thus increased.
“Xia Hongshen, member of the Xia Family, is at Fifth-Rank Sector Lord level and has reportedly grasped a bit of the Original Law. He practices at Yellow Grade, but it is not commonly known that he uses it…”
“Therefore, Xia Hongshen’s strength is equivalent to that of a Rank Six Sector Lord!”
As soon as the contradiction arose between them, Xia Hongshen’s fighting records and his strength were immediately dug up on the internet.
“What about Du Gang?”
“Du Gang is a Rank One Sector Lord, he has grasped three threads of Original Law which equals to a Rank Four Sector Lord…”
“There’s more to him, I’ve heard, Du Gang has also mastered the first layer of a Yellow Grade technique which makes him quite formidable…”
“So, with the addition of Yellow Grade technique, his power is equivalent to a normal Rank Five Sector Lord?”
Once Du Gang’s power comparison came out, people on the internet sighed in an instant.
“Du Gang is just unlucky. With his Rank Five Sector Lord power, he actually has a chance to advance, but unfortunately, he provoked the one with the most power on their area…”
“Actually, he didn’t really provoke him, it was Xia Hongshen who initiated it!”
“But surely, he must’ve been ridiculed by Du Gang himself right?”
“How was he to ridicule, kneel and beg for mercy?”
“He is a True God, how could he do such a demeaning thing?!”
At this point, Kong Xu was not nervous as he watched this scene.
He knew that Du Gang was already a Rank Two Sector Lord, so he felt that even if the opponent was comparable to a Rank Six Sector Lord, he might have a chance of winning.
In the competition arena, under the gaze of Xia Hongshen, the countdown in mid-air slowly ticked down to the last second.
[The match has begun!]
With the fall of the system prompt sound, the second round of the qualifying contest officially started.
“Whoosh!”
Instantly, all the competitors disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already unlocked and scattered across the arena.
“Du Gang!”
As soon as the match started, a furious roar echoed through the area.
Xia Hongshen at one end of the arena glared at Du Gang who was at the other end, anger burning in his eyes.
Everyone who heard this roar subconsciously made space between the two of them.
“Boom!”
At this moment, Xia Hongshen was like a cannonball, shooting out at Du Gang in a furious charge.
“Bang, bang!”
In the process of this charge, two guys who were not alert, tried to ambush him, were effortlessly crushed by Xia Hongshen.
Seeing this, everyone around put away their ulterior motives and started distancing themselves from the place where the two of them were about to fight.
“Bang!”
Kea -nowmg energy nowea arouna Nia Hongsnen, ana a wave or neat spreaa towards Du Gang.
Obviously, he was a practitioner of the Fire Element laws!
“Boom!”
Du Gang was not bad either. Although he was a Gold Element practitioner, which the Fire Element restrained, he was still able to block his attack with a spear thrust.
“Swish!”
The moment they made contact, Xia Hongshen suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a burst of red flame, shooting rapidly at Du Gang.
This move came unexpectedly, it was a deceitful tactic and most people would be caught off guard by such an attack.
“Humph!”
“Du Gang laughed coldly, his footsteps lightly touched the air, his body twisting in an unimaginable way.
“Whoosh!”
Just in time, when the flame was about to hit him, he narrowly escaped it.
Seeing his strike fail, Xia Hongshen was not anxious. He raised the large blade in his hand, attacking once again.
“Sss!”
This time, the long blade in his hand was set ablaze with extremely high temperature flames. The air was set aflame by the heat, the sizzling sound it created was horrifying.
“Bang!”
His slash failed to work, Du Gang easily deflected it with his Ancient Divine Spear.
“Burn!”
With Xia Hongshen’s shout, his long blade transformed into a furnace, instantly releasing an endless high temperature.
Du Gang laughed coldly, unfazed. His Ancient Divine Spear was a divine weapon; it wouldn’t be called a divine weapon if it was burnt so easily!
“Boom!”
To Xia Hongshen’s surprise, the first to give in was his long blade, which began to soften due to the high temperature.
“Damn it!”
Seeing his opponent’s spear remained undamaged, he quickly withdrew his flames.
“Kill!
This time, he didn’t use the highest temperature, but brandished the long blade in his hand, slashing continuously, with one blow following another.
His blade technique was extremely strange, shifting up and down, sometimes even slashing at very weird angles.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have already been dead by now.
Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Du Gang. No matter how he used his blade technique, he couldn’t break through Du Gang’s defense.
Moreover, whenever Du Gang attacked with his spear, a golden glow would surround him.
These golden threads were emitting a mysterious set of Law fluctuations, encompassing Xia Hongshen.
“Strangle!”
Du Gang roared, employing a move he had recently mastered. This move could be said to be his strongest attack in human form.
“Boom!”
At that moment, countless golden lights flashed, a dazzling rainbow appeared, and amidst Xia Hongshen’s hurried resistance, he suddenly froze.
Although it was only for an instant, it was plenty enough tor this spear to kill him.
“Boom!”
The golden spear tip pierced directly through Xia Hongshen’s skull.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a beam of white light flashed; Xia Hongshen was eliminated!
Du Gang smiled as he watched Xia Hongshen disappear. Just now, he not only used his newest move, but also incorporated dazzling mystery into that attack. Catching the enemy off guard indeed proved to be an easy victory.
It was not until this moment that everyone else was shocked, and momentarily paused, staring blankly at Du Gang. “He actually won!”
“Xia Hongshen actually lost!” “Now, it seems that only a second has passed…”
“Did he fall in just one second?!”
Just as everyone was shocked, Du Gang moved again. This time, he directly rushed towards the others still on the martial arts stage. Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, he began a frenzied slaughter.
“Bang! Bang!”
Du Gang’s prowess was fully demonstrated at this moment. In an instant, four or five strong fighters fell under his spear.
“Kill him! ‘”‘
At this moment, the other contestants made the same decision once again, planning to encircle and kill Du Gang.
However, among these people, there was one figure who, although was rushing towards Du Gang, was the slowest.
That was Mu Nuogai, who had incredible luck and was still alive at this moment.
Having experienced the siege on Du Gang before, he had no desire to participate in it now.
His current thought was to let everyone else die while preserving himself, advancing under the radar!
“Kill!
At this moment, dozens of people rushed towards Du Gang, launching a frenzied attack.
Countless flashes of rainbow light sparkle, shaking the entire battle platform.
Yet in the center of the battlefield, Du Gang remained unscathed, growing braver as the battle raged on.
He moved like a war god possessed, wielding his spear in the crowd, cutting in and out seven times, each time bringing forth a streak of bright white light.
“He’s too strong…”
When the surviving contestants realized Du Gang’s formidable strength, it was already too late.
Du Gang had sliced through them all.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Then, after dozens of explosions, the contest came to a temporary halt.
[The contest is over!]
Turned out, Du Gang had reduced the contestants on the field to just ten, forcing the contest to end.
At this moment, the remaining contestants looked at Du Gang with shock and horror in their eyes.
“He is too strong!”
On the internet, people watching Du Gang brutally and violently win the contest went into a frenzy.
“My God, Du Gang actually won!”
“He’s so strong, he even killed Xia Hongshen, who was at a sixth-rank Sect Lord level!”
All the citizens of Pangu Continent were discussing, everyone was talking about Du Gang.
Not just them, at this moment, Jiang Wenxing, Yu Shuiyao, Little Hawk King, all of them had their eyes glowing, looking at Du Gang’s silhouette, a surge of desire to battle swelled up within them.
If previously, when they heard that Du Gang was the opener of the Golden Age, they were somewhat hesitant and distrustful.
But at this moment, they believed!
Du Gang would inevitably grow into a significant figure of the Golden Age.
This meant that in the future, if they defeated Du Gang, they might be able to directly advance to the Eternal Level! Du Gang, he was their opportunity!
“Whoosh!”
When the ten contestants from Du Gangs battlefield returned to the waiting area, they were surprised to find that there were already more than a dozen teams waiting here.
“He’s so powerful?!”
Du Gang quickly found the strongest among these hundred-plus people.
The rankings above their heads showed that they were all among the top hundred fighters on Penglai Island.
Seeing Du Gang, these people also revealed a hint of curiosity.
They did not understand how Du Gang had won the contest, after all, he was only at the first-rank Stage Lord level.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, the next moment, one by one, figures were continuously transported in.
In just ten seconds, the waiting hall, which originally only had a hundred or so people, was already packed.
Then, two more minutes passed, and all the contestants had arrived here.
At this moment, only ten thousand people were left on the scene.
This meant that in the upcoming contest, there were only a hundred battle platforms left, with only ten contestants qualifying from each platform.
[29:59]
With everyone gathered, the countdown in mid-air began once again.
“They’re in such a hurry, the final round starts in just half an hour?!”
Everyone was somewhat surprised, they hadn’t expected to be given only half an hour of rest time.
Some contenders with lower rankings now realized they had no hope of advancing and their expressions weren’t too serious.
They grinned, “I’ve fought in two rounds and made it to the third. I’ve won big in this competition already.”
“Same here. With my strength, unless I was teamed with you fellows, the thought of advancing to the final round would be too difficult!”
At this moment, Mu Nuogai who already advanced, felt he got lucky because of Du Gang. He was so excited he wanted to jump up. “Guys, look at my ranking!”
Everyone turned around and was instantly surprised,
“You, ranked over 800,000! How did you advance to the third round?”
They knew that only ten thousand people could progress to the third round. This meant these ten thousand people were at least high ranking.
Mu Nuogai laughed and said, “I lucked out because of Du Gang!”
“It was because you got a strong participant’s luck?” “You are really lucky… wait, Du Gang, you mean that Ancient God?”
Everyone twisted their heads to look at Du Gang.
Upon hearing this, Du Gang also turned and noticed that this guy really had encountered him in the first round.
That said, this guy really was lucky.
Mu Nuogai nodded, “That’s right, you guys have no idea how strong Du Gang is. In the first round, over a hundred of us gang up against him, and he cut through us all alone…”
“Over a hundred people were basically all eliminated by him. If it wasn’t for the system forcefully stopping it, I’m afraid no one on our platform would’ve survived…
“Hmph!”
At this moment, someone snorted coldly, “So by this logic, not only are you lucky, but even that Du Gang is very fortunate!”
“A mere Rank One Sector Lord can actually enter the third round!”
“Indeed, he hasn’t met me yet, or else I would’ve killed him…
Mu Nuogai deliberately glanced at the rankings above the pair’s heads. One was over three thousand and the other over five thousand. He laughed, “Do you guys know Xia Hongshen?”
Xia Hongshen, of course we know him, this time his ranking is over eight hundred…”
Mu Nuogai chuckled, “Do you think you guys could beat Xia Hongshen?”
The two men were startled and quickly asked, “Do you mean to say that in the last round, you guys encountered Xia Hongshen?”
They both quickly checked around, indeed, they did not find Xia Hongshen in the field.
“Correct!”
Mu Nuogai nodded, “In the last round, Xia Hongshen challenged Du Gang, saying he would eliminate him first. As a result, just one second after the game started, Xia Hongshen was eliminated by Du Gang!”
“What!?”
All the people present exclaimed.
“Xia Hongshen was eliminated by Du Gang in one second?”
“That guy, if I remember correctly, is a Rank Five Sector Lord. He has also grasped a bit of the original law, theoretically, his strength should also reach the Rank Six Sector Lord level, but he was instantly killed by Du Gang in one second?!”
“Isn’t Du Gang just a Rank One Sector Lord? How could he leap so many levels?”
At this moment, someone ranked around a hundred walked over, looking at Mu
Nuogai and slowly asked, “What is Du Gang’s actual strength?”
Mu Nuogai glanced at the ranking above the comer’s head and was immediately startled, quickly saying, “I don’t know how strong he really is, but he did indeed kill Xia Hongshen in one second…”
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, “Right, Du Gang’s cultivation isn’t just Rank One Sector Lord, I remember, he seems to have reached Rank Two Sector Lord… “Rank Two Sector Lord?”
Everyone present murmured to themselves.
“If he is Rank Two Sector Lord, it means that Du Gang has either understood four threads of Law Origin or possesses a yellow grade cultivation method and mastered either the first or second layer…”
At this moment, not just ordinary people, but even the top ten strong competitors were looking at Du Gang with curious eyes.
Du Gang was currently looking at the person with the highest ranking in the field: Qin Yanghua!
“I wonder how many threads of Original Law this guy has understood, and if he has learned the yellow grade cultivation method…”
And at this moment, Qin Yanghua was also curiously looking at Du Gang. However, there was no shock in his eyes, just a sense of indifference.
This meant that, in his eyes, no matter what strength Du Gang possessed, it wouldn’t pose a threat to him… at least, not during the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition!
And so, amid the crowd’s laughter and chatter, half an hour quickly passed by.
“Whoosh!”
The third round of competition begun. This time, ten thousand contestants were divided onto a hundred arenas, each arena hosting a hundred competitors. The final ten contestants on each arena would qualify for the grand finals.
“Thud!”
Settling into a chair, Du Gang quickly scanned his surroundings.
Soon, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, where a seemingly young teenager sat. That boy was also gazing back at Du Gang, revealing a slight smile.
“Jiang Wengu! ”
Du Gang looked at the name floating above the teenager’s head and furrowed his brows.
That was because, beside Jiang Wengu’s name, it was written that he was ranked 16th.
“Du Gang!”
Jiang Wengu broke into laughter at this moment. “What a surprise to encounter you here in advance!”
“The heavens truly favour me!”
Wearing a brilliant smile, he said, “I’m aware of the betting agreement between you and the Kong family. This time, you’re done for!”
At this moment, the people around them had also noticed the pair, and everyone gasped in surprise.
One was Jiang Wengu, ranked 16th, and the other was an ancient god who bore a grudge against the Jiang family.
Their encounter here would undoubtedly lead to an intense conflict.
However, according to everyone present, Du Gang’s combat power was far from being a match for Jiang Wengu’s.
After all, Jiang Wengu was a Sector Lord at the Seventh-Rank!
Even if he hadn’t comprehended any Original Laws, Du Gang would not be able to handle him.
“This time, Du Gang will be eliminated!”
At this moment, such a thought surfaced in everyone’s minds.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the crowd, a familiar figure spoke up, “What a coincidence! I’ve been matched with Du Gang again. Three times in a row!” It was Mu Nuogai!
He seemed to have some sort of connection with Du Gang, being matched with him for a third consecutive round.
“What a pity!”
As he watched the distant, elegant figure of Jiang Wengu, he sighed, “It’s a pity that Du Gang and I are going to be eliminated together this round!”
If only Du Gang could sweep through again, carrying me into the finals…
This idea had barely surfaced when Mu Nuogai quickly shook his head and dismissed it.
Impossible, the gap in their power levels was too wide!
He was also a person of the Penglai island, so he was very clear about Jiang Wengu’s cultivation level.
At this moment, Du Gang, with his brows tightly furrowed, slowly asked, “Jiang
Wengu, are you a Sector Lord at the Seventh-Rank?”
“Yes, that’s right. Feeling desperate yet? You’ll be even more desperate soon!”
He continued, “I’ll make sure you get eliminated first!”
Du Gang didn’t get upset, and instead asked, “How many strands of original law have you comprehended?”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Wengu chuckled again and said, “Are you planning a comeback against
“Since you want to know, I’ll tell you. I’ve comprehended three strands of original law. Not only that, but I’ve also learnt a yellow grade technique and have cultivated it to the first level!”
Upon hearing this, Du Gang’s pupils abruptly contracted.
This meant that Jiang Wengu was a whole five ranks above him, the strength disparity between them as vast as heaven and earth!
When the people present heard Jiang Wengu’s words, they couldn’t help but sigh incessantly.
“What a pity, the ancient god is going down…”
“There’s nothing pitiful about it. He is just a Second-Rank Sector Lord. The fact that he could even enter the third round is already quite impressive.”
“I heard that the ancient god and the Kong family have a betting agreement. If the ancient god can’t win first place in this Cosmic Peak Talents Competition, then the Kong family will withdraw their protection of the ancient god…”
“First place?”
Someone exclaimed, “Is the Kong Family joking by letting the Ancient God take first place?”
“With his Rank One Sector Lord power? Ah, no, he’s Rank Two Sector Lord now…”
“Hehe, he has comprehended the Original Law!”
At this moment, more than a few people jeered at Du Gang. After all, Du Gang was younger but far more renowned than them.
One could say that even if this year’s winner of the Peak Genius Race might not be as famous as Du Gang!
After all, a winner of the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition is named every five thousand years, but an opener of the Golden Age occurs after tens of millions of years.
At this moment, let alone the dozens of contestants in the field.
Even the citizens of Pangu Continent who were watching Du Gang’s match all looked desperate.
“Heaven envies the gifted!”
“The heavens are too unfair to Du Gang!”
“Exactly, why did he have to face Jiang Wengu? If he were against someone else, he might’ve had a chance to advance!”
“Yeah, when I think about the Ancient God’s age, I feel heartache. Why can’t he wait for five thousand years and appear in the next competition?”
At this moment, Jiang Wenxing was howling to the sky, calling out to Kong Xu over the internet.
“Kong Xu, wasn’t your Kong Family going to protect Du Gang? Didn’t you make a bet that if Du Gang doesn’t take first place, you’ll stop protecting him?”
“Wait till this match ends, then I’ll personally kill Du Gang. If you’re capable, stop me!”
At this moment, he was very proud.
Because, the Ancient God was going to die by his hands.
He knew Jiang Wengu’s strength very well, considered his younger cousin and having seen him a number of times. He understood Du Gang didn’t stand a chance.
Kong Xu did not respond.
Clearlv, even he felt that this was being too hard on Du Ganz!
“Uncle, if Du Gang is eliminated, should we really abandon him?”
Kong Luo was also feeling down, sighing, “otherwise what? This isn’t just Du Gang’s wager, it’s a wager with our entire Kong Family. If we don’t follow the rules, something terrible will happen…
Compared to the threat of the Jiang Family, the Kong Family elders were evidently more fearful of the curse on the Ancient God.
“Sigh! ”
Kong Xu breathed a sigh, “But uncle, isn’t Du Gang the opener of the Golden
Age? If he dies, doesn’t that mean the end of the Golden Age?”
Kong Luo nodded, “Yes, but there’s nothing we can do. If Du Gang is eliminated this time, when the Jiang Family makes a move, our Kong Family can’t stop them…
“And who else is willing to risk so much just to cross the Jiang Family?”
“Forget about crossing the Jiang Family, even simply being affected by the curse on Du Gang isn’t something other families would want!”
“So, is Du Gang destined to die this time?! ”
Kong Luo shook his head, sighing, “it’s his fate. He came too early. If he had arrived 5,000 years later, and appeared in the next Cosmic Peak Talent Competition, he might’ve been able to grow…”
“The Golden Age, it looks like it’s going to end even before it’s begun…”
“Hold on!”
Kong Xu frowned, “I remember an elder, proficient in prophecies, once said that this Golden Age could usher in the Platinum Age…”
Platinum Age!
The thought made even Kong Luo feel excited.
This was the era that could elevate an Eternal Level to True God Level.
He shook his head, “At least, our Kong Family is out. But, I suspect, if Du Gang is eliminated, some other forces might intervene…”
“Like you said, Du Gang’s existence may signal the start of the Platinum Age, maybe some powerful beings at the ninth calamity don’t want Du Gang to die so quickly…”
Relieved at hearing this, Kong Xu sighed.
“So, Du Gang isn’t entirely without hope. Some other strong being might come to save him?!”
“Maybe!”
Kong Luo shook his head, with a sense of hope in his heart.
For beings at the Ninth Calamity, staying alive is far more important than advancing to the True God. Hence, it’s unlikely they would risk the curse that could cause the Ancient God to decay!
