The figure in the sky explained, "We are going to send all of you to the Demon World. A total of 33,033 worlds has participated in this competition and every world has sent ten candidates. These candidates are also the representatives of their own worlds. There are a total of 3,303,300 candidates who are participating."

"We have chosen six Great Demon Worlds. It means, a total of 550,550 candidates will enter each Demon World."

"The First Round of this competition's name is Game of Cat and Mouse. It is not just a name but it will be your reality after entering the Demon Worlds. You'll be spending two years inside the Demon World."

"We have already given all of you the token which represents you are a participant of the Competition of Myriad Worlds. If you encounter any danger that you couldn't deal with, inject your spirit energy in that token and you'll be teleported out of the Demon World. Of course, it also meant that you'll be eliminated from the competition."

"We have also set up a mechanism in those tokens. After the period of two years, that mechanism will activate by itself and those who'll be still inside the Demon World will be automatically teleportation out. These people will be the ones to advance to the Second Round."

"Since all of you will be going to the Demon World, demons will definitely try to hunt you down. Let's see how many of you will survive and how many of you will advance to the Second Round of the Competition."

.....

When the person in the sky said this, it caused a huge commotion throughout the entire Great Martial City. It also caused an incomparable fear to rise in the hearts of all the participants.

No, it was not only the participants, even non-participants, and every citizen of the Great Martial City sucked a cold breath of air when they heard this. They also trembled in fear for the participants of the competition.

But these people quickly recovered. After all, they were not the ones who'll enter the Demon World. A look of pity and sympathy appeared on these people's faces the next moment. They could not help but worry for the participants.

As for the participants of the competition, they were so scared that they could not say anything for a while. But the next moment, they started cursing loudly.

"F*ck! Are you serious? You are actually sending us to the Demon World!"

"Oh my God! Going to the Demon World is the same as going inside the mouth of death. What is more, they are actually telling us to spend two years inside the Demon World. Are they serious?"

"F*cking hell! I'm not participating in this competition anymore. My life is more important than participating in a Competition."

"Exactly. I don't know what these Sacred Lands' Leaders thought that they decided to send us to the Demon World. It is literally playing with our lives. Do they think they can do as they want just because they are the Leaders of the Sacred Lands and the organizer of this competition?"

"Only fool will send themselves to their deaths. Demons always invade our worlds and kill us humans so that they can increase their strength. We humans are like Divine Pills for these demons. If we were to go to the Demon World, doesn't it mean all the Demons will try to kill us?""They must be joking, right? It has to know that whenever demons invade our worlds, dealing with them becomes very difficult. Countless martial artists lose their lives just to deal with those demons. Now if we were to go to the Demon World, how can we fight against an endless number of demons?"

"....."

The commotion turned bigger and bigger as time passed. No one was able to calm down. They started cursing the Sacred Lands for their shamelessness. They could not understand just how these Sacred Lands' Leaders even come up with the thought of sending hundreds of more than three million people to the Demon Worlds?

"Silence!"

Seeing that the commotion was becoming bigger and bigger, the figure in the sky suddenly shouted, causing a loud roar to echo throughout the entire Great Martial World.

Many people held their ears and sat down on the ground because this voice was like a monster's roar, stirring up the souls of hundreds of thousands of people. Some of them even threw out a mouthful of blood and some also received internal injuries.

Of course, these people were the weakest people inside the Great Martial City.

None of the people of Great Martial City dared to let out a single voice from their mouth after the roar of the person in the sky. It was another matter that they kept cursing the Sacred Lands' Leaders inside their hearts.

The person in the sky was a Dao Manifestation Realm martial artist. No one dared to say a single word after that person told them to keep quiet.

Seeing that the entire Great Martial City has gained the quietness that was impossible to see even in normal days, the person in the sky secretly nodded his head. He had already expected such reactions from all the people even before announcing what the First Round of the Competition was going to be!

That person was not surprised at all.

"Phuu!"

Letting out a breath of air, the person in the sky again said, "If you want, you can withdraw from the competition. No one is forcing you to participate. Even if the majority of you withdraw and only a thousand participants remain willing to go through the competition, the competition will still continue. The rounds decided by the combined forces of hundreds of Sacred Lands will not be changed."

"If anyone wants to withdraw, they can withdraw. But before that, let me announce what rewards the winners of the First Round will get."

Saying that, he looked down from above like a God looking down at millions of ants.When he talked about withdrawing from the competition, a large half of people were immediately ready to withdraw. But when they heard that the person in the sky was going to announce the rewards for those people who'll advance to the Second Round of the Competition, they perked their ears to listen carefully to what the rewards would be.

The person in the sky said, "Those participants who'll advance to the Second Round of the Competition will get a chance to enter the True Essence Pool of the Great Martial Sacred Land. Of course, before entering the True Essence Pool, we'll teach them the secret technique to successfully absorb the True Essence and refine them."

Huaa!!

Silence enveloped the already noiseless Great Martial City. But in the next moment, a huge uproar took effect in the entire City, causing the noiseless city to fill with so much noise that it caused the person in the sky to be irritated.

Even though he was a Dao Manifestation Realm martial artist, at this moment, he was forced to close his ears with his two hands.

Seeing him like this, those Sacred Lands' Leaders, who were watching from afar, started laughing silently. Some of them even laughed out loud.

The person in the sky was the First Elder of the Great Martial Sacred Land. All the Sacred Lands' Leaders carefully chose the First Elder of the Great Martial Sacred Land to hold the First Round of the Competition of Myriad Worlds.

None of them wanted to deal with millions of participants who'll go crazy after learning what the First Round of the Competition was going to be and what rewards the winners will receive?

So, they carefully choose who the scapegoat will be.

Finally, they decided to make the First Elder of the Great Martial Sacred Land the scapegoat. It is because the Great Martial Sacred Land was the only overlord of the Great Martial City.

.....

"Are they serious? The winners of the First Round can enter the True Essence Pool of the Great Martial Sacred Land?"

"Holy shit! I'm not gonna withdraw from the competition. This reward is worth taking the risk of going to the Demon World!"

"Hey brother, can you tell me what True Essence Pool is?"

"You don't even know what True Essence Pool is? Let me tell yo... Hehe, I'm not telling you. Come and bite me!"

"I never thought that the Sacred Lands will be so generous this time. The reward of the First Round is already so generous, I wonder what the reward of Second and Third Round will be?"

"Hey Brother, can you tell me about this True Essence Pool, please?"

"Go to hell, don't disturb me. I'm currently dreaming about cultivating in the True Essence Pool."

The participants, who knew about the True Essence Pool, started to dream about becoming one of the participants who'll survive inside the Demon World for two years and then get the chance to cultivate in the True Essence Pool.

As for those people who knew nothing about True Essence Pool, they started asking around anxiously.
