Chapter 1959 Going to the Meeting of World Leaders

"The dragon is right. An ice age won't stop the Continental Tournament. It will definitely happen." Julian commented to the group.

The man's nephew gave him a strange look. "But wouldn't that be stupid? Are we really going to compete and have fun in such a tournament, risking the lives of specialists from our forces during an ice age?"

The Continental Tournament wasn't just dangerous for the competitors, who would enter the organizers' Spatial Kingdom and be an attraction for event viewers. It also carried many risks for the bettors, who tended to be individuals from the most powerful powers in the world.

By bringing together world leaders to gamble, all kinds of problems could arise during and after the event.

During the event, the gamblers could actively help or hinder the young people competing in the Spatial Kingdom by sending items and resources there.

That could lead to more deaths in the Spatial Kingdom and, thus, more excitement for the many non-fan spectators who go to the venues where this event is held each tournament. But this could also lead to conflicts among the gamblers themselves, which could have consequences even hundreds of years after the tournament.

At the end of the competition, not only would those who lost members feel a sense of vengeance, but the winners would have such good prizes that they would be watched for decades and eventually have to fight to keep their prizes.

It wasn't common for high-level Demigods to die in battle in this world. Yet, after the Continental Tournament, it happened with some frequency!

That was the level of danger that came with being a bettor or competitor in the biggest tournament in this world!

It was so chaotic and important that people couldn't register for it. Only states could register as competitors or bettors in the event!

Knowing all of it, that level 95 Demigod couldn't believe that in a chaotic era, the strongest organizations in the world would still risk becoming even weaker in an event like that.

Minos smiled and said. "For a mere piece of information from a Divine-grade medicine, these strongest powers in the world are willing to burn down their organizations and families."

That was the final truth about the Continental Tournament and its participants!

Why did the organizations and nations care about a tournament that could cause great losses to the participants?

Simple, for the chance that one of them would achieve something truly great and reach level 100!

It would be worth everything to reach that level!

In the entire history of the Continental Tournament, 7 Divine Medicines had been used as prizes, and 4 Gods had been created because of these medicines.

Because of such a history, practically every level 99 Demigod in the current Spiritual World would participate in the tournament, no matter what the cost!

Almost all of them wanted to be the fifth to accomplish such a feat!

A single God could create one of the strongest organizations in the world from scratch in a few weeks.

So, even if they destroyed a sect that was hundreds of thousands of years old, it would not be a big deal for these strongest organizations in the world.

Would it be a big risk? Yes, obviously. But the prize had the potential to be so good that it was worth any risk.

Julian agreed with Minos. "For those who are far from level 99, this is hard to accept. But for the old people at level 99, in their last centuries of life, this is the last chance to move forward, extend their lives for a few thousand more years, and fulfill all their desires.

An ice age will be no big deal to them. They will certainly put pressure on anyone who tries to delay or cancel the tournament. The tournament must be held!"

The tournament was supported by practically every 10th-stage organization in the world. It was completely reliable due to the high-level contracts of the people involved in organizing it and the deterrent power of the many people interested in it.

So it was not only reliable, but it was also an event that such a chaotic situation couldn't stop.

Unless something happened to make it impossible for all the level 99 experts in the world to participate, nothing could stop it!

Minos then said. "Anyway, I'll try to make public what I can on my trip to the North Sea during the Continental Tournament. But I'll warn my allies of everything before then."

"Hmm, that's good. The tournament is the best place to make contact with the strongest and most influential people in the world." Julian said to Minos.

After that, he thought for a moment and asked. "But are you really interested in the meeting in the next few days? You won't have a speaking place if you accompany me, Minos. Even if you have a lot of potential, you'll have to act like a subordinate. World leaders don't care about the potential of people outside their organizations. On the contrary, you might even get into trouble if you show too much."

"I know. I'm just going with the elder. I want to see the world leaders and where I'm most likely to get help in the future. Just listening will be enough for me to determine the personalities of many of these people." He said.

"If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any problems. But try to retract your dragon aura as much as possible and stay very close to this guy." Julian motioned to Nymmas. "This will help you camouflage that part of you."

"All right."

"And if anyone tries to approach you, talk to me first. Since your friends will be coming with you, some Dragon, Sky Whale, or Sea Folk members may try to approach you."

Minos thought he wouldn't have a problem with Dragons because of his recent meeting with the leaders of that tribe. But he might end up being sought out by Sky Whales and Sea Folk, beings who might see him strangely because of his companions.

"I'll do what the elder said," Minos spoke, seeing no problem in following such recommendations.

"Good. Rest for today. At dawn, we'll leave for the meeting led by the elves." Julian rose and went to his tent, also a little anxious about the meeting in which he would represent the Pantheon of Honor.

Of course, his concerns were not the same as Minos'. What interested him in this meeting were the measures the world's strongest powers would take to deal with the difficult times ahead, how they would deal with the lack of resources and the problems that would come with an ice age, etc.

So the group would soon spend the whole night resting in that camp, and at daybreak, they would move on to the appointed meeting place for some of the strongest in the world!
