According to the rule of two points for a win and one point for a loss, the results of the remaining five contestants were as follows:
First place: Zhou Bai with 12 points.
Second place: Zhao Yue with 9 points.
Third place: Jue Ji with 8 points.
Fourth and fifth place: Xiang Haochu and Sky Demon Tu with 5 points.
Due to the absence of the other five contestants, there was a huge gap in the scores.
However, everyone could tell that the winner of the Zenith Heaven's number one would be determined by the battle between Zhou Bai and Jue Ji the next day. Zhou Bai only had to defeat Jue Ji to become number one, while Jue Ji had to kill Zhou Bai to become number one.
The audience looked at the five names that had been removed from the leaderboard, and they all felt a sense of cruelty wash over them. Many people even began to express their dissatisfaction with the Zenith Heaven's sparring session.
"This is too cruel. Five geniuses died in the arena of the Zenith Heaven's sparring session just like that."
"It can't be helped. For the Emperor's Sword, for the title of number one in the Zenith Heaven, no one would give up so easily."
"But isn't this too cruel? The geniuses of the Human Race have been killed in the arena just like that. Every single one of them could have played a huge role in the battle against Sky Demon. "
However, regardless of the audience's dissatisfaction, the Zenith Heaven's sparring session would continue under the will of the Immortal Gods.
No matter how many people felt pity for the geniuses who had died in the arena, the remaining survivors inevitably received more attention.
In particular, Zhou Bai, who had won so many victories along the way, received more and more attention. In the eyes of hundreds of millions of people, he had become the popular candidate for number one in the sparring session.
Along the way, as one contestant died and the battles became more and more intense, the weight of being number one in the Zenith Heaven's sparring session became heavier and heavier in the hearts of countless people. It became more and more real and impeccable.
It could be said that after becoming number one in the Zenith Heaven's sparring session, almost no one would be unconvinced or refuse to admit that they were number one among their peers. This was because this was achieved through extremely intense battles and the lives of many top geniuses of the Human Race.
Zheng Wentian also looked at the list in the projection with some excitement: "Finally … Zhou Bai still came to this step. As long as he defeats Jue Ji tomorrow, he will be number one in the Dao Debate, able to pick up the Human Emperor's Sword, and even more so obtain the approval of all of humanity. According to what the Celestial Court said, it is to inherit the destiny of the human race, becoming the Child of Destiny. "
Suddenly, Zheng Wentian felt that Ying Luo, who was beside him, was breathing rapidly. He turned around and saw Ying Luo's face full of excitement and nervousness.
Ying Rui said, "We've finally come this far. Who in Central City believed that Zhou Bai could make it this far? "
He looked at the countless people from Central City around him. Looking at their expressions of admiration, admiration, and praise, he felt exhilarated. The pain he had suffered under the oppression of the Celestial Court for the past countless years seemed to have been released at this moment.
Ying Rui said, "One more step, one last step. Zhou Bai, you must do your best!"
Meng Ruocun looked at Zhou Bai, who was now at the top of the list, and sighed softly. At this moment, after so many fierce battles, Zhou Bai had broken her understanding again and again, shattering her worldview.
Now, Meng Ruocun had to admit, "Zhou Bai … I'm really … not as good as you …" She clenched her fists reluctantly and gratified. "The Grand Elder and the Principal … really didn't choose the wrong person."
A student from the Dao Academy said, "Meng Ruocun, you also came from Dong Hua Dao School, right? Your Dong Hua Dao School is very powerful. You can actually cultivate a monster like Zhou Bai. "
Meng Ruocun was slightly stunned, and then she smiled in the next moment. "Yes, very powerful. Everyone is very … "She paused and then said with certainty," Strong. "
Even the many Immortal God Seeds in the stands were gradually convinced when they looked at Zhou Bai, even if they did not say it out loud.
With this widespread recognition from all humans, mixed with feelings of worship and respect, the light from providence in the sky above the arena seemed to be getting stronger.
The clouds in the sky kept rolling and surging, as if there was an invisible dragon controlling the wind and clouds.
Immortal Brightmoon looked at the phenomenon in the sky and thought to himself, 'The karmic luck is getting thicker and thicker … after all the battles that have gone on in this Grand Firmament Dao Sparring, the ultimate showdown … is it finally about to gather enough karmic luck?'
'The next person at the top of the list will be recognized by all humans and inherit the hopes of countless people. He will inherit this light from providence and become the Child of Providence.'
Immortal Ming Yue understood that something like light from providence was very mysterious. It was like fame and reputation, invisible and untouchable. It could not be used in battle or to refine treasures.
However, sometimes, this kind of thing like fame and reputation had unbelievable power. It could decide life and death with a single word, kill people's hearts, subdue the enemy without a fight, and change the situation of the world with a single word or action.
When humans were in the mortal stage, they could not use this kind of invisible and untouchable power. They could only let nature take its course. When the light from providence was strong, everything went smoothly, and everything went smoothly.
When the light from providence was on the wane, they would be despised by countless people. They would lack help in everything they did, and things would not go smoothly. It was easy for them to fail.
Only by ascending to become an immortal, understanding the Heavenly Heart, and getting closer to Tendo could one understand some of the wonderful uses of light from providence. Only then could one feel the influence of light from providence on oneself and the whole world, and even begin to try to use this power.
'Originally, this gathering of light from providence was to prepare for the backlash of the light from providence when we gather all the demons in the world and create the mutated weapons. But now that Zhou Bai has appeared … '
With the appearance of Zhou Bai, the plans of the immortals of Myriad Island of Immortals had changed completely. They had originally planned to give up on a portion of the mixed-blood humans and actively stimulate the mutation of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of humans to create massive amounts of mutated weapons. Then, they would directly attack the enemy and destroy the Sky Demon. This was also the plan that the four righteous gods had agreed to.
But now, the plan had changed. They wanted to use the demons in the world as nutrients and spend ten to twenty years to cultivate a new generation of humans.
And one of the immortals' plans was to let Zhou Bai wear the crown, receive the recognition of the mixed-blood humans, and receive the light from the mixed-blood humans.
Immortal Brightmoon looked at Zhou Bai in the contestant's seat. The more she looked, the more comfortable she felt, as if the bitterness was over and the sweetness was just beginning.
"Our hundred years of waiting have not been in vain."
She then turned to look at Xiang Tiandi. "Unfortunately … the righteous gods of the Celestial Court don't think so."
…
Zhou Bai watched as the projection in the sky changed once more, showing the flow of tomorrow's matches.
"The other four matches are all absent, so there's only the match between me and Jue Ji left."
Zhou Bai covered his eyes and subconsciously turned to look at Jue Ji. He saw that Jue Ji had also turned to look at him. Their gazes seemed to collide in the void.
Zhou Bai felt that Jue Ji's gaze was strange. It didn't seem as lofty and arrogant as it had been before.
After leaving the arena and eating, Zhou Bai wanted to go back and read the message that Wei Cangsheng had left in his eyes.
But on the way back, he was stopped by someone.
Jue Ji looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Let's talk." He looked at Zhou Bai's right hand, which was covering his eyes. Ever since his battle with Wei Cangsheng, he had been covering his eyes like this.
"Why are you covering your eyes? Only by lowering them can you see the world clearly. Or … are you afraid of the truth? "
