"Haha, Qin Xiao, you're the best. Tsk tsk, look, you've caused a huge commotion. Even the Lord of the Heavenly Court has joined in. This level of influence was truly unparalleled. The bet between you and the Hou will be an unprecedented one. "The Azure Emperor laughed heartily.
The Flame Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I've never seen such a lively scene before. Even the Lord of the Heavenly Court has joined in the fun. At least, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Qin Xiao, you and Bi are really influential. "
Qin Xiao smiled awkwardly. In fact, he didn't expect that his bet with Ming would cause such a huge reaction and push the atmosphere to a new high.
What was even more unexpected to Qin Xiao was that the master of the Heavenly Court actually waved his hand and joined in on a grand scale.
With the participation of the master of the Heavenly Court, everyone's attention was naturally focused on this side.
"Qin Xiao, you should choose first. You have to be careful. This is also very important." The Lotus Emperor could not help but remind Qin Xiao.
The outcome of this round was too important.
Although Qin Xiao was not someone who could not afford to lose, the stakes this time were too big and too tempting. Therefore, Qin Xiao was very tempted and naturally wanted to win this round.
More than a hundred million god-level youths had participated in the Heavenly Court's selection. Now, only ten thousand had been eliminated.
The number of people eliminated was still more than a hundred million. It was indeed not an easy choice to choose a young man to represent himself from among the 100 million eliminated contestants.
Success or failure was determined by many factors. The seed chosen was naturally one of the more important factors.
Therefore, Qin Xiao could not afford to be careless in this round.
It was actually quite difficult to choose. He had to choose from the list of eliminated youths. Those who had been eliminated were not at the top level and could be said to be more average.
It was like digging for gold from a pile of mud. It was way too difficult. It felt like a stroke of luck to be able to find it.
Qin Xiao carefully scanned the eliminated god-level youths. According to the Dao of Fate, Qin Xiao could know everyone's growth process clearly. He was familiar with all of their life trajectories.
Qin Xiao could judge a person based on various factors and determine his or her potential.
It was definitely not an easy task to complete such a shocking reversal and counterattack in a short span of a hundred years. Therefore, one's potential was especially important.
Furthermore, Qin Xiao and Bi had only sent an energy clone to train the seed. Therefore, they could not bestow any treasures or help him or her raise his or her cultivation level.
Cultivation Techniques, Secret Arts, and Secret Arts could be imparted, but it was obviously very difficult.
Firstly, time was too short. What could be done in a hundred years?
Secondly, his or her cultivation level was too low. There was no way to achieve success in a hundred years with a slightly weaker cultivation method.
Therefore, Qin Xiao weighed several factors in his heart. The first was potential. The second was perseverance.
In fact, potential included several aspects. Of course, it was more complicated.
Qin Xiao seriously and carefully analyzed each and every one of them. Very quickly, he checked all the eliminated youths once, and in the first step, he filtered out over twenty people to be selected as candidates.
Now, he needed to choose the best candidate from these twenty or so people.
Qin Xiao had never been an indecisive person. He had always done things cleanly and neatly.
Therefore, Qin Xiao did not hesitate. He quickly made a decision and chose a youth.
After both sides had made their choices, they each sent out a doppelganger.
-----
Xuanhuang Island was a management department set up by Heavenly Court Island. It was in charge of the one thousand territories in Heavenly Court Island's Xu District.
The location of Heavenly Court Island's sect was very mysterious. Apart from the people of Heavenly Court Island, no one else knew where it was.
Xuanhuang Island was not mysterious at all. Everyone in the world knew about it.
The Heavenly Court Island Selection held once every hundred million years was also held here.
Although Xuanhuang Island was called an island, it was very large. It was a huge city floating in the void of the universe. Many Heavenly Court troops were stationed here, responsible for maintaining the stability and peace of Heavenly Court Island's territory. It possessed unparalleled divine power. It was also a sacred place in everyone's heart. It was sacred and inviolable.
In a courtyard of the Pleasant Arrival Inn, a young man was sitting there with a sorrowful expression. He was in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking about.
His gaze was cold and resolute, but also somewhat sharp and resolute.
His expression was a little stiff and a little cold.
He sat there, clenching his fists tightly. He did not move for a long time. He did not even blink.
The youth's name was Han Zheng. He was born of humble origins on an ordinary planet.
Han Zheng's life experience was somewhat similar to Shi Jian's and Qin Xiao's. He was more or less a combination of Qin Xiao and Shi Jian. Han Zheng had basically gone through everything that the two of them had gone through.
Therefore, his temperament had long been honed to be very firm and sharp.
He did not think that he was some peerless genius. Therefore, he had put in ten times, a hundred times more effort than others. He had poured in endless blood and sweat to get to where he was today.
He was the only one who could understand the bitterness of this.
He had fought with the hot blood in his heart to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly, time and time again, to reach the level of strength he had today.
"Maybe it's because my strength is still too weak, or maybe it's because my talent is sloppy and ordinary."
"There's always someone better. There's always someone better. There's always someone better. I was just a frog at the bottom of a well, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. "
"The geniuses of the God Realm are really too good. I'm so ordinary. It's not a big deal if I vanish from the masses."
"But —"
Han Zheng shook his head. He was unwilling. He was very unwilling.
He had worked so hard for so long. It was not easy for him to wait for this opportunity. He wanted to give it a try.
But he did not expect that the cruelty of reality would give him a resounding slap in the face.
"Hmph, I'm so useless. I'm so useless. I might as well die."
Han Zheng laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head hard, and closed his eyes with a pained expression.
He had failed. He had worked so hard and waited for so long. In the end, he still won this kind of answer.
If he missed this opportunity to leap over the dragon gate and soar to the sky, it would be almost impossible for him to have another chance in the future.
However, this opportunity could only be grasped by those who had the strength to do so.
Han Zheng had a lot of worries in his heart. There were many relatives and friends waiting for his return. They were waiting for his glorious return. But he was going to disappoint them.
For a moment, Han Zheng could not face the people in the clan.
"You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is until you look at the sky. No matter how brilliant I was in the past, no matter how sharp I was, it was all useless. It's still strength that speaks. Strength is everything. "
Han Zheng's face was filled with pain. The muscles on his face seemed to be twisting. He appeared to be in great pain.
The pain of the heart was more than ten times more terrifying than the pain of the body.
"But —"
"I'm unwilling. I'm unwilling to end like this. I'm unwilling to accept that I haven't achieved a single goal in my heart. Furthermore, they're all too far away."
"For my father, for my clansmen, for my fellow clansmen who are waiting for my glory, I really can't fall like this."
"When I left home, I said that I would obtain a certain ranking and return. I wanted my name, Han Zheng, to become the pride of my clan. I wanted everyone in the God Realm to know that I, Han Zheng, am Han Zheng."
"But all of this was clearly a joke. A huge joke. Hmph, I'm truly laughable. I'm truly ignorant."
The pain on Han Zheng's face was very painful to look at.
Such sorrow was the easiest way to knock someone down. If it were someone else, their mind would've likely collapsed long ago.
At this moment, Han Zheng's mind was also on the verge of collapse. It was on the verge of collapse again and again, only to be forcibly pulled back by Han Zheng time and time again.
His heart was incomparably firm. He still didn't admit defeat, didn't feel the slightest bit discouraged, and didn't retreat in the slightest.
The closer he got to this point, the more resolute he became. He knew that he had to do this.
"So what if I can't pass the selection? So what if I'm eliminated? So what if I'm looked down upon by others? "
"For the time being, I'm too ashamed to face my father, my friends, and my clansmen. But this doesn't mean that I have no chance to grow at all. "
"Passing the selection only means that I have a slightly higher chance of growing. Since I didn't pass the selection, I can only continue on my old path. I'm seriously lacking in all aspects. It's fine if I can't win against those people. But I can't admit defeat. I have to turn this into motivation, and then explode out again and again. "
"I'm from such a lowly background. I'm extremely lacking in cultivation resources. Even during the most difficult times of my life, I wasn't defeated. Do they still want to defeat me now? "
"No — even if I don't enter Heavenly Court Island, I can still rely on my own efforts to raise my strength and reach a very high level. I've been like this all this time. I should continue on this path, and keep going. "
"Yes, that's it."
After figuring everything out, the sadness on Han Zheng's face was swept away without a trace.
Qin Xiao, who had been secretly observing, also revealed a gratified expression. It seemed that he hadn't misjudged Han Zheng. Han Zheng's performance had satisfied Qin Xiao somewhat.
To be able to think through all this in the face of such a huge setback, and not be affected by it, was also a very rare thing.
Han Zheng was also the seed that Qin Xiao had chosen.
Qin Xiao was standing there now. He could see Han Zheng, but Han Zheng couldn't see him.
Just as Qin Xiao was about to appear, a servant who looked like a waiter kicked the door open with explosive force without even knocking.
That waiter acted as if someone owed him millions of divine stones. His face was gloomy and somewhat unsightly. His attitude was rather haughty, and he didn't look like a servant at all. He'd practically flipped over and become the master, and treated himself as such.
