Open up and break into another world

“It's you!!!”

Li Xiujie stared at Xu Ming's face in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

In fact, when Li Xiujie first saw Xu Ming in Holy Emperor City, it wasn't that he hadn't considered whether Xu Ming might be the Xu Ming from the Endless Continent; however, this thought had only just emerged when it was immediately dismissed by Li Xiujie!

He was more inclined to believe it was just a "namesake", and he couldn't believe that the tiny ant from the Endless Continent had grown to such an extent!

But now, Li Xiujie had to believe—Xu Ming had really come to Holy Emperor City!

“That's right, it's me!” Xu Ming looked at Li Xiujie indifferently, not concealing the killing intent in his eyes.

“Hmm?”

The geniuses and powerful figures present were all staring at Xu Ming; naturally, they immediately noticed the killing intent emanating from Xu Ming.

“It seems there's definitely some kind of history between Xu Ming and Li Xiujie!”

“What kind of history could it be?”

“Who cares what kind of history! With a history, this recruitment contest looks even more exciting!” Some Sovereigns secretly communicated, anticipating a good show.

“Hmph!” Li Xiujie was stunned for a long time before he reacted; he coldly snorted and transmitted his voice, “Don't think that just because you've entered some chaotic secret realm and obtained some opportunities, you're a big deal! Let me tell you, those opportunities you obtained are nothing in my eyes!”

“Heh!” Xu Ming smiled without saying a word.

…

After the scene calmed down, the Holy Emperor City Lord stood up and said a few polite words; then, he handed it over to Elder Bai to announce the rules of the recruitment contest.

Elder Bai cupped his hands to the four directions and laughed heartily, “Today is the joyous day of our Holy Emperor City's recruitment contest; I will represent the City Lord to announce the rules!—The rules are very simple, divided into three assessment stages, assessing: Fate, Talent, and Background!”

Fate!

Talent!

Background!

Xu Ming firmly remembered these three points.

Talent and Background were easy to understand; but what was this Fate assessing?

“Please be patient, everyone, I will explain later!” Elder Bai seemed to see the doubts in everyone's hearts and couldn't help but smile, “These three assessment stages will ultimately select three geniuses! These three geniuses will all have the opportunity to present their betrothal gifts; ultimately, which genius is chosen as the ideal son-in-law will naturally be decided by the City Lord! However… the more outstandingly you perform in the three stages, the higher the possibility of being chosen by the City Lord will definitely be!”

“Haha…” Many Sovereign-level powerhouses laughed upon hearing this, “Holy Emperor City Lord, your assessment for selecting a son-in-law is truly strict!”

“If I were a few trillion years younger and participated in the assessment; I'm afraid I wouldn't necessarily be able to become the Holy Emperor City Lord's ideal son-in-law!” A refined Sovereign-level powerhouse joked.

Elder Bai smiled and said, “I won't explain much about what the Talent and Background stages assess! Let me first talk about the first stage: Fate!”

“Elder Bai, isn't Fate something ethereal and non-existent? How can it be assessed?” A Sovereign-level powerhouse immediately asked in confusion.

“Elder Bai, stop beating around the bush! Just tell us directly, what is the relationship between this Karma Stone and the Fate assessment!”

“Haha!” Elder Bai laughed, “I will ask the Space-Time Palace Lord, the Void Sky Realm Lord, the God-Slaying Quasi-Sage, and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion Lord to hide the Karma Stone in the 'Myriad Worlds Island'! All the geniuses will enter the Myriad Worlds Island together to search; the more Karma Stones obtained, the stronger the Fate is naturally said to be; finally, the top one hundred geniuses in terms of the number of Karma Stones obtained will pass the first stage of assessment and enter the second stage!”

The Space-Time Palace Lord and the other four powerhouses were the most top-notch existences in the entire God Domain, and also the leaders of the four major giant-level forces in the God Domain; with them hiding the Karma Stone, there was naturally no worry that the hidden location would be leaked.

“What?” Many powerhouses couldn't help but laugh, “Elder Bai, is this what you call 'assessing Fate'? Isn't this assessing strength?”

Elder Bai smiled meaningfully: “It also assesses strength at the same time!”

In fact, this first stage, the "Fate Assessment", assessed not only Fate but also Strength, Background, and so on!—After all, the stronger the strength, the easier it is to obtain the Karma Stone; and if the background is strong enough, you can even mobilize other geniuses to help find the Karma Stone!

The powerhouses all understood—this first stage of assessment was actually giving those geniuses who had no hope of winning the recruitment contest an opportunity to show their strength!

At the same time, it also allowed the Sovereign-level powerhouses who came to support the event to have the opportunity to select their favorite geniuses and take them as disciples.

And in the first stage, only one hundred geniuses could win; that is to say, the geniuses who could enter the second stage, the "Talent Assessment", were only one in a hundred!

Therefore, from the second stage onwards, it was no longer about Sovereign-level powerhouses choosing disciples.

…

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“Fate Assessment!” Xu Ming secretly pondered, “I have the 'Probe' cheat, the speed of finding the Karma Stone, others definitely can't compare to me!—I'm determined to get first place in this 'Fate Assessment'!”

As for the second stage, the "Talent Assessment"…

Although Xu Ming didn't know the details of the Talent Assessment, he had one hundred percent confidence!—After all, Brother Ming had sat on five "Talent Thrones"!

In terms of talent, who could compare to him?

Only in the third stage, the "Background Assessment", did Xu Ming have no confidence.

There was no way around it, Xu Ming was probably the one among all the geniuses with the least background!

Although Xu Ming knew the Star Lord of the Heaven Offering Realm, as well as several Saints; however, the Heaven Offering Realm was not the God Domain, and the Saints of the Heaven Offering Realm would have difficulty coming to the God Domain!

Although Xu Ming was also the chosen successor of the Wunan Saint; however, the Wunan Saint was missing, and it was impossible for him to stand up and act as Xu Ming's background.

Although Xu Ming had also seen the remnant will of the Yellow Springs Saint; however… the Yellow Springs Saint had already fallen for hundreds of millions of years, and even the Yellow Springs Palace had declined to the point of being dilapidated; therefore, it was impossible for it to become Xu Ming's background!

Xu Ming's biggest background was himself!

“I must get first place in the first and second stages!” Xu Ming thought secretly, “As for the third stage… I can only take it one step at a time!”

However, Xu Ming still had some confidence in the third stage, the "Background Assessment".

…

At this time, Elder Bai said again, “Alright, the above are the rules of the recruitment contest! Today, please enjoy this grand banquet; three days later, the first stage, the 'Fate Assessment', will officially begin!”

These three days were also for the Space-Time Palace Lord and the other four giants of the God Domain to help hide the Karma Stone well.

At the same time, it was also a time for the geniuses and powerhouses who came to attend to chat with each other.

After announcing the various rules of the recruitment contest, the opening of the recruitment contest was considered over.

Yin Ran was directly taken away from this palace—such matters as the recruitment contest were not suitable for Yin Ran to be present for too long; it was enough for her to show her face at the opening.

Next, Yin Ran could only silently wait for fate to arrange for her—the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, Yin Ran had almost no say in the outcome of the recruitment contest.

“Xu Ming! Good luck!” Yin Ran looked forward to it.

And Xu Ming gave Yin Ran a very simple look.

This look only contained two words—Don't worry!
