The Emperor of the Holy Empire left in a hurry.
The Emperor of the Vast Sea Empire left in a hurry.
All of them left the Zulong Empire in a hurry.
Because according to the results of the negotiations, the competition would start within two months.
Although there was no requirement for the three empires to proceed at the same time, no one wanted to be left behind.
The three empires had been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. If it wasn't for the Protoss stirring shit up, they would have long been at each other's throats.
This time, they were working together to fight against the Protoss. It seemed like they should be united.
But in their hearts, they still hoped that their own team could be better than theirs!
Of course, they also wanted to win.
There were three groups in total. If they won one group, they could extend the peace for 150 years. If all three groups won, they could obtain 450 years of peace!
One hundred and fifty years was nothing, but four hundred and fifty years was still possible.
During this period, they could cultivate many new young forces.
It could be said that the three empires' thirst for talent and resources had reached an unprecedented height!
"Say, if we lose all three groups to the Protoss, what do you think will be the outcome?"
In the room, there were only two people, Ji Chae Yi and Liu.
Liu had been so busy recently that he was about to go crazy. He finally managed to sneak a peek at Chae Yi.
Of course, he was using the excuse of visiting everyone.
But no one paid attention to him.
They were all adults. Who didn't know who he was? Only Si Yin, who was naturally naive, thought that Liu was here to visit everyone.
Liu smiled bitterly. "This is a war. In a real competition, the moment the winner is decided, life and death will be decided. Since the Protoss was the one who suggested the competition, it means that they have great confidence in themselves! "
"The God-tier and Overlord-tier groups have eight people each … I don't even know if our empire has eight Emperors. The only one I know is the Elder Ancestor of the Bai Family."
"I can't imagine what a battle at the Overlord level is like, but at the God level … I think it must be very cruel. The moment the victor is decided, life and death are decided."
"Not to mention the most important group of young geniuses. The result of both sides compromising in the end is that no matter who wins or loses, the young geniuses of the Human Race and the Protoss will have a huge battle royale. The battle won't end until one side is wiped out. "
Old Liu looked at Cai Yi and sighed, "This is like the Gladiator Arena in the ancient times, bloody and cruel. It's obviously a war of attrition. For the sake of victory, we absolutely cannot send out those who are not strong enough. Therefore, those who are able to enter the one hundred and twenty-eight teams, I'm afraid not a single one of them isn't a national treasure level genius! "
Chae Yi sighed. She was also a top student and a top student. How could she not understand this truth?
She had asked Liu because she wanted to hear Liu's opinion. On the other hand … Liu was too well-behaved!
There were only the two of them in the room, and this guy was sitting two meters away from her!
Where's his courage?
Where's his courage?
Doesn't he know how to take the initiative to hug me?
Do you need a lady like me to teach you such things?
Blockhead!
Look at Xiao Bai and Zi Jin!
They stick together all the time, it's just too … too enviable!
Chae Yi didn't even consider that between Xiao Bai and Zi Jin, it was always Zi Jin who took the initiative.
Zi Jin had never hidden her love for Xiao Bai, but she … still couldn't let it go.
The battle of life and death was about to begin. She hoped that she and Liu could take a step forward.
From the looks of it now, if she didn't take the initiative, Liu would probably never dare to take that step.
Melancholy.
Shirō Makino and Lin Zi Jin were in a pavilion in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.
There were some fruits and pastries on the table in the pavilion. Lin Zi Jin sat next to Shirō Makino, one hand holding onto Shirō Makino's hand, their fingers interlocked.
Emperor Lee 'Single Dog' Ying sat opposite them.
"To be honest, I really don't want you to participate in this kind of competition. It might be because of my selfishness … "Li Ying said with a sigh.
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry, we won't lose," Lin Zi Jin said with a smile. "The ones who should be worried are the Protoss who are fighting against me."
Li Ying said, "I know your strength and realm, but this time, the Protoss actually used this kind of method to start a war with us humans. Uncle Wang and I were a little surprised at first. This isn't their style. Even if they have absolute confidence in winning, we still feel that there's some kind of conspiracy behind it."
Shirō Makino shook his head. "There's definitely a conspiracy, but no one has absolute confidence in winning."
Lin Zi Jin: "Except us."
Li Ying: "…"
Shirō Makino: "…"
Facing these two best friends, Li Ying never really treated himself as an emperor. He only treated them as his closest friends.
"There's a hidden problem that no one has mentioned, but everyone knows it." Shirō Makino suddenly looked at Li Ying and smiled. "That is, if you lose more than you win … For example, if you lose two out of three groups, the overall result is that you lose, because the victory and defeat will cancel each other out …"
Li Ying nodded. The victory and defeat will cancel each other out. This is also one of the conditions that the Protoss will not give in.
Shirō Makino continued: "If you lose more than you win in three groups, that means you lose in the end … Have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Ying looked at Shirō Makino in surprise and couldn't help but murmur, "Boss is really the boss, he actually saw through the Protoss's intention."
He had been with Uncle Wang for the past few days, and under the analysis of all the advisors in the court, he came to this conclusion.
That was why he urgently invited Shirō Makino and Lin Zi Jin over today to tell them about this.
Now that Shirō Makino already knew about it, what about Lin Zi Jin?
Li Ying glanced at Lin Zi Jin.
Lin Zi Jin blinked: "Is it difficult to see through the Protoss's intention? The war that happened eight thousand years ago has been dragged on until today, and we humans are actually not prepared for it. After all, we have too few top experts! Even now, I don't know if we can gather eight emperors. "
"But we are not prepared, and I'm afraid the Protoss with low fertility are even more unprepared."
"So they hope to use this method of competition to consume a wave of our young geniuses."
"The Prince Regent's suggestion of the God-level and Emperor-level groups may be exactly what they want."
"After all, the Protoss has 18 kings, and it is said that they are all Emperor-level."
Li Ying was slightly taken aback: "You actually know about this?"
Lin Zi Jin pursed her lips: "When the time comes, not only can they consume a wave of our strength, but they can also launch an attack on the defeated countries when they win the finals!"
"But that is not the most ruthless thing …"
Lin Zi Jin said: "The most ruthless thing is that the Protoss has unknowingly used this method to divide the three empires! Originally, the three empires would instantly unite if they were attacked by the Protoss, but now there are people watching from the sidelines!
"That is their true goal."
Li Ying was completely stunned. The Empire's think tank could analyze that it was because of the collective wisdom of countless people.
But Lin Zi Jin was so young, and yet she had such foresight … It was really surprising.
In his mind, the little demon girl was purely a battle maniac!
She was powerful, but in other aspects … Emmmm.
If the great demon king Shirō Makino had said it, he would have thought it was normal.
After all, he had always respected Shirō Makino, not just because Shirō Makino was powerful and talented.
It was also because Shirō Makino was too smart.
"This … Boss told you?"
There were no outsiders around, so Li Ying did not want to pretend at all.
If word got out that the Emperor was calling a marquis boss, even if the Protoss invaded, the entire empire would be shocked to the core.
"You are the Emperor, watch your words." Shirō Makino frowned and reminded him.
Li Ying chuckled: "There are no outsiders here."
There were no outsiders, not a single person within a few hundred meters, and all the guards were hiding far away.
There were all sorts of anti-surveillance devices in the entire empire.
Even Xiao Bai's advanced intelligence would not be able to break through them.
Lin Zi Jin glanced at him: "Of course brother would think of it, but brother did not tell me."
"Sister-in-law is amazing!" Li Ying gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Zi Jin blushed slightly, but looked at Shirō Makino with a pleased expression. Shirō Makino patted her head dotingly.
Li Ying was a little depressed. These two people were really showing off!
Did they not know how to take care of the single dog Emperor?
Recently, even after the Protoss had arrived, the entire imperial court had been urging him to quickly choose the Empress.
All the top nobles with daughters in their families had been crazily showing off recently.
Li Ying knew that these people did not care much about his marriage, they just wanted him to quickly give birth to a few princes so that the people would be at ease.
How old am I this year?
His golden years had just begun!
If he gave birth to a bunch of princes at such a young age, he would only be in his thirties, and he would have to watch them fight each other openly and covertly?
Therefore, even if he married the Empress, he did not intend to have children so early.
Also, he only wanted to marry one.
He had seen and heard about the chaos in the imperial harem since he was young.
How annoying.
After the negotiations were over, the Protoss's true plot was completely revealed.
Actually, it was not a plot, it was an open and aboveboard plot!
Like a delicious poison, the three empires had to swallow it even though they knew it was poisonous.
Because there was a big premise — the Protoss could launch an attack on the human world at any time.
Under this premise, they could use the competition as a buffer, and no one would reject it.
There was no friendship between countries in the first place. It was the norm in the world for a fellow Daoist to die rather than a fellow Daoist.
Some people might say that they would be defeated one by one, but didn't everyone understand the logic?
They all understood!
But they all wanted to preserve their strength!
They did not want to be the first to stand out!
Otherwise, how could Qin defeat the six empires and unify the world?
Lin Zi Jin had made it very clear just now.
This was the Protoss's goal.
Through the competition in the real world, they wanted to eliminate a large number of young human geniuses.
Then, they would pick the weakest persimmon and attack it at any time!
As the empires that had enjoyed more than a hundred years of peace, they basically just stood by and watched.
If they helped, it would be equivalent to breaking the agreement between the two sides.
Therefore, the final result of the competition might still be in suspense.
But in this negotiation, the Protoss had actually won.
Because the Protoss did not have the ability to invade the three empires at once, they chose this method.
On the side of the human camp, even if they knew the reason, they had to accept this delicious poison.
As long as they could win, they would be able to catch their breath!
This was also the main reason why the Holy Empire and the Blue Sea Empire's emperors did not stay at all after the discussion and left overnight.
Of course, no matter what their relationship was, as all humans, they definitely hoped to see the three empires win!
Each of them would be in their respective groups and give the Protoss a heavy blow!
Then, in the chaotic battle between the young geniuses, they would kill the Protoss's group of young geniuses!
Not only would they each obtain more than 400 years of peace, but they would also severely injure the Protoss.
If that happened, the Protoss might not even be able to recover after 3,000 years.
It was just that people did not even dare to think about this outcome.
Student Xiao Bai dared to.
"The final chaotic battle will be carried out by all humans and the survivors of the Protoss. As long as we kill all the young geniuses of the Protoss in that chaotic battle. Even if we have to face a cruel war, it's not a big deal. Because we never thought we could escape from this war. "
He looked at Li Ying and said.
"Yes, I feel much better after hearing you say that. But I still don't want you to participate." Li Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Strictly speaking, I only have you guys as my friends. I'm really scared."
But as the emperor, Li Ying also understood that this battle was unavoidable.
…
…
Time passed day by day.
The news of the Protoss's arrival and the upcoming competition with the three empires was also spread to all humans through various official channels.
This news instantly overshadowed everything else.
"Damn Protoss, are they coming to invade our world again?"
"Kill those Protoss, chase them all out!"
"I want to sign up, I'm not afraid of death!"
"Yes, I'm not afraid of death either!"
Countless young elites from various high schools in the Zulong Empire expressed their views, hoping that the empire could quickly come up with a specific rule.
There were too many people who wanted to sign up for these 128 teams!
Especially the Fu Long Battle Team, which only had five people, they were the focus of countless people.
As the champion of last year's Empire High School League, the Fu Long Battle Team definitely had the right to get a spot.
Then, the Fu Long Battle Team, which was short of three people, instantly became a hot commodity.
This was something that Shirō Makino and the rest did not expect.
But in reality, the rule had already been drawn up.
After all, the competition would start in less than two months. If they did not hurry, the Protoss teams might be pulled over, and the humans would not even have the time to choose their members.
According to the final agreement, among the 128 teams, the high schools would take up 50% of the share.
This meant that there would be 64 teams from various high schools in the Zulong Empire.
Then, there would be 30 teams from the military!
This was something that many people did not expect.
All these years, the military had always had its own independent system. There were too many young geniuses who joined the military at the age of 17 or 18, and became experts in the military.
These people usually did not show themselves, and were even unknown in this world.
But this did not mean that they had no ability.
Anyone who dared to look down on them would have to pay a heavy price.
The remaining 34 teams were given to people from all walks of life.
Anyway, as long as it was a team under 30 years old, it was fine.
For example, on the side of the royal family, the original Third Prince, Li Xiong, who was about to be crowned king, directly pulled up a team and requested to occupy a spot!
Even if Li Ying tried to stop him, he could not stop him.
In Li Xiong's words, the royal family was also a part of the Ancestral Dragon. There was no reason for them to risk their lives while we watched from the side!
Li Xiong's statement was supported by the Regent.
Because even the Regent Li Yu himself had to personally participate!
He wanted to participate in the battle of the God-level group!
The royal family, the Li family, had never been afraid in this aspect.
Because of the urgency of time, after collecting the information of countless teams that had signed up, there was no way to carry out any public selection.
They could only completely gather the information in the court, and after countless people's analysis and argumentation, select from these teams.
As a school that was not even in the top 50, Feixian University once again had a super big limelight this time.
Feixian University actually had four teams selected!
When this news came out, countless people's first reaction was: Did they make a mistake?
Is this a joke?
For a school that was not even in the top 50, it was already not bad to have one team selected!
Four teams?
This was definitely a joke, right?
Could it be that there was no one else from other universities?
A mere Fei Da actually had four teams selected?
This was too ridiculous!
But no matter how many people thought it was impossible, accurate official news was released very quickly.
Fei Da — Four teams were selected!
This was a battle of life and death, but at the same time, it also symbolized great glory!
Therefore, after Fei Da successively recruited Shirō Makino and Li Peiqi, the group of geniuses last year, it once again became famous!
Although their points were still below the top 50, their fame could suddenly be compared to a top school like The First Academy.
The first team, as everyone knew, was Xiao Bai's Rune Dragon Team.
The second team, many people were very unfamiliar with, but those who really understood, smiled without saying a word. This team, only had one girl, but there were six boys.
That's right, it was Ouyang Xingqi's Princess and Knight Team!
The Holy Empire's High School League Champion Team!
Of course, this matter could not be told to anyone else.
Anyway, under Teacher Bai Xiaohua's makeup, this group of people had already changed greatly.
This was also considered giving face to a friendly country.
Whether or not they knew in their hearts was one thing, but they could not be too obvious on the surface.
The selection of this team also caused a lot of controversy.
Because there were too many people who did not know their identity.
But in the end, all the controversy was forcibly suppressed.
Li Ying, in the court, was furious on the spot.
"This is not a gilded journey, this is a battle of life and death!"
The third team, also felt unfamiliar to many people.
That team was selected from Yu Xiuxiu, Xiao Yueyue, and the other 12 people.
After receiving the news, Yu Xiuxiu and the others immediately set off and rushed from Fei Da to the Imperial Planet.
Xiao Bai also needed to use the remaining time to make a huge breakthrough as soon as possible.
Yu Xiuxiu and the others were so excited that they hugged each other and cried bitterly about being able to participate in a competition of this level.
They wanted to find their parents and relatives, and they wanted to live openly under the sun. This … should be the best opportunity!
Regardless of whether they won or lost, by participating in this competition, their wishes could basically be achieved.
No matter how powerful Three-Immortal Island was, they would not dare to go against the entire Empire.
The fourth team, which everyone was relatively familiar with, was also a relatively less controversial team.
Because it was the Arctic Palace team led by Li Peiqi!
Like the Rune Dragon Team, as the third place of the Empire League, people were more convinced of the strength of the Arctic Palace team.
But what the hell were those two teams that did not even have names?
In order to avoid suspicion, the name Princess and Knight Team could not be used.
Shirō Makino's kind suggestion of "Snow White and the Six Dwarfs" was also mercilessly rejected.
In Ouyang Xingqi's words, from the day they left the Holy Empire, names were no longer important.
While waiting for the arrival of Yu Xiuxiu and Ouyang Xingqi's group, Regent Li Yu invited Shirō Makino and the others to his house and held a family banquet.
This standard could not be said to be low. In the eyes of many people, attending a family banquet of the Regent was even more difficult than attending a state banquet of the Empire!
During the banquet, Regent Li Yu and Shirō Makino chatted happily with each other.
The Regent drank wine, and Xiao Bai drank water.
If news of this were to spread, it would probably shock everyone to the ground.
But for Xiao Bai, this was very normal.
It couldn't be more normal.
Qin Ranran also attended this family banquet.
The person who claimed to be her cousin that day had never appeared again after she left.
She had also mentioned this matter to the Regent.
It was a pity that the Regent did not know the true identity of her mother.
Everyone could only guess that the identity of Qin Ranran's birth mother was not ordinary.
Li Yu's family banquet this time could also be considered a deep level of reconciliation with Little White before the battle of life and death.
He even directly mentioned the Three-Immortal Island.
"Let bygones be bygones. This time, there will also be two young teams on the Three-Immortal Island … There could have been more."
Shirō Makino smiled slightly and did not answer.
The Regent said, "In addition, they will also send three God-tier and two Overlord-tier to participate in the battle!"
"There are actually Overlord-tier?" Shirō Makino was a little surprised.
It was certain that the Three-Immortal Island had God-tier experts, but Overlord-tier … He really did not expect it.
The Regent glanced at Shirō Makino. "Do you think the Three-Immortal Island is made of paper?"
Since he had already chosen to reconcile, he did not want to be entangled in this kind of matter. He looked at Shirō Makino and said, "You guys should not be lacking in resources …"
"Yes, we are still lacking," Shirō Makino hurriedly said.
The Regent glared at him and said, "However, the young people of the Holy Empire and the group of people from the Three-Immortal Island still need to be strengthened. This war …"
He directly used the war to refer to the upcoming competition.
"We can't afford to lose!"
"So?" Shirō Makino looked at the Regent and rubbed his hands.
"So, I have decided to give you another 50 Spiritual Pearls and 20 Divine Statues in my personal name!" The Regent looked at Shirō Makino. "Back then, you schemed and schemed to get more than a dozen Spiritual Pearls from me …"
"It's not me. I didn't. Don't talk nonsense!" Shirō Makino looked serious.
Lin Zijin and the others were speechless.
The Regent glared at him. He really wanted to take back what he had just said and beat him up!
For the sake of the overall situation, he endured it.
A few days later, Yu Xiuxiu, Ouyang Xingqi, and the others landed on the Imperial Planet.
After they got off the starship, they were immediately picked up by Shirō Makino and went into seclusion.
