The Global Professionals Tournament, the World Finals, allows only 200 participants from each country every year.
One hundred are veteran professionals, and the other hundred are new professionals.
The Realm of Gods is a sacred place that countless professionals yearn for.
Because, aside from earning Glory Points and bringing honor to their country,
Professionals can use their accumulated Glory Points in the Realm of Gods to exchange for top-tier equipment, high-level treasures, rare skill books, and similar items.
This is an exclusive glory for top-tier experts; even if ordinary people accumulate enough points through regular competitions, they are not qualified to enter the Realm of Gods to exchange for prizes.
Within the Realm of Gods, which resembles a bustling metropolis, each country has its own fortress-like base, with their national flag fluttering in the wind above.
During free activity time, professionals can’t stay put in their bases, and participants from various countries wander through the main city of the Realm of Gods, filling the streets and alleys with bustling crowds.
Since they are all top 100 national professionals from their respective countries, their innate sense of superiority and confidence makes them look down on participants from other countries.
For instance, participants from the two major empires, Banan and Indra, met on the street and started arguing over a trivial matter of neither wanting to give way.
“Hey, let me see, isn’t this the little Banan ranked over a hundred in the world? Where did you get the courage to block the path of Indra, ranked seventh in the world?”
The speaker was a black knight from the Indra Kingdom, who appeared quite formidable.
Banan, a small country in the southern hemisphere with a total population of just over five million, indeed lacked the standing to challenge the seventh-ranked Indra Kingdom.
But here, they showed no fear.
A red-robed mage from Banan said with great momentum, “If you’ve got the skills, show them on the battlefield tomorrow! Don’t waste your breath here!”
In the Realm of Gods, language translation is enabled, so there’s no worry about language barriers between different countries.
Just don’t bring your hometown accent, or the translation system won’t work, and you’ll sound like a duck quacking to others.
Here, each participating team represents the face of their country.
So in terms of demeanor, no one loses to anyone.
Anyway, the Realm of Gods is a Safe Zone; even if you jump in front of the world’s top strongman, Ghost Swordsman Alpha from the Beacon Country, and give him a big slap, he can’t do anything to you.
At most, he’d return ten slaps!
As nine o’clock in the evening approached,
A loud system announcement descended from the sky—
“Ding~ Welcome all professionals to the Realm of Gods! The competition will start promptly at ten tomorrow morning. The prizes have been announced, so please consider your pre-selection based on your Glory Points and competition results!”
Since the prizes change every year, their announcement always draws the attention of all participants from various countries.
[First Prize (one winner): 10-star unique Extraordinary set (growth type)] (Exchange requirement: first place in this competition’s points ranking, exchange demand: points)
[Second Prize (two winners): SSS-grade unique skill book] (Exchange requirement: top three in this competition’s points ranking, each country can exchange once at most / in order of ranking, if the former gives up, it can be extended to the next, exchange demand: points)

[Sixth Prize…]
Seeing this year’s prizes, all participants were thrilled!
“Oh my God! This first prize is definitely ours, Beacon Country! Oh yeah, ten-star growth set, my love!”
“Compared to last year, this year’s prize value has increased significantly! Come on, Oppas, let’s win these priceless prizes!”
In a corner of the Realm of Gods,
The Dragon Kingdom’s team, marked by a red five-star national emblem,
Tian Xin’er looked around and couldn’t help but frown slightly, “Why hasn’t Zhang Yue arrived yet?”
Data showed: Dragon Kingdom participants should be 100, 99 have arrived, one is missing: Zero!
Xu Bei wondered, “Didn’t anyone inform him that he needed to report to the Realm of Gods today?”
Chen Long pondered, “Such an important matter, there’s no way he wouldn’t know!”
Just as everyone was puzzled about Zhang Yue’s absence,
A group of participants from Japan intentionally approached Xu Bei and Chen Long.
At the forefront of the group, a warrior in iron armor with a tuft of mustache under his nose crossed his arms arrogantly and looked at Xu Bei and the others, saying, “I suppose you’re wondering why you’re missing one person?”
Here, anyone with a discerning eye could recognize at a glance: the speaker was a Legendary-grade professional born in Japan this year, and also their newly crowned top strongman, Jedi Knight Inoue Ono!
Recently, the news of assassins attacking participants had been exposed by the media, and it was well known that the mastermind was Japan!
This made the already strained relations between the two countries even more tense!
Therefore, Tian Xin’er had no good words for the enemy country: “Do you live in the ocean? Why do you care so much! Instead of wasting your energy, why not think about how to improve your world ranking?”
Inoue Ono smiled indifferently and said, “Thank you for your concern, but as far as I know, the point gap between our Japan and your Dragon Kingdom is only 0.31%!”
Inoue Ono glanced disdainfully over the Dragon Kingdom participants and said contemptuously, “Without your Necromancer, the rest of you are nothing in my eyes.”
“Oh, by the way, let me remind you, Zero probably won’t make it!”
“Looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield tomorrow!”
As Inoue Ono and his group left,
Tian Yu frowned and said, “That guy… did they do something?”
Tian Xin’er, out of concern, immediately sent a Feixin message to Zhang Yue: “Zhang Yue, where are you?”
However, after a long time, there was no reply.
Tian Xin’er contacted people from the Temple of Destiny, but they couldn’t find Zhang Yue either!
“What on earth is going on?”
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Inoue Ono was strolling through the Realm of Gods with the Japanese team, admiring the scenery.
At this moment, a knight walking alongside Inoue Ono, [Dafan Tong], asked in confusion, “Ono-kun, is it true that Zero from the Dragon Kingdom won’t participate in the competition?”
“He wants to come, but unfortunately, he can’t!” Inoue Ono’s face was full of confidence and pride.
Dafan Tong looked slightly worried, “But the Boss Xu from the Dragon Kingdom Empire Guild we collaborated with couldn’t even solve Zero with his assassins. What can we do this time?”
“No need to solve him, our goal this time is to surpass the Dragon Kingdom and become fourth in the world!” Inoue Ono said confidently, “As long as we prevent Zero from participating in this competition, our goal is achieved.”
“According to the rules, if he can’t arrive at the Realm of Gods by ten tonight, it’s considered a forfeit.”
Inoue Ono twisted his neck and said, “I’ve reviewed some of Zero’s combat data and information. He’s indeed strong, and with my strength, I might only be able to tie with him.”
“Without him, I’ll crush the sick men of the Dragon Kingdom!”
“Just wait and see! I, Inoue Ono, will prove with strength that our Japan is stronger than the Dragon Kingdom!”
