Swallowed Star: Copy God

At this moment, not only Ye Yun and the Chaos City Lord were present, but also the Universe Supreme Masters who were watching the battle, and the people of the entire Human Alliance. As long as they watched the live broadcast of the powerhouse battle, they were all filled with anticipation.

After all, when the Universe Supreme Masters and Ye Yun were not around, these Universe Lords in the Human Alliance were the representatives of the strongest combat power.

They explored and frequented the major dangerous places in the universe, making outstanding contributions to the development of the entire Human Alliance.

Even if they have not personally experienced this, everyone in the Human Alliance today is very aware and grateful for the achievements of these Universe Lords.

Because of this, the special group of Universe Lords has always had a very good position and respect in the entire Human Alliance.

On the one hand, they are not as unattainable as the Universe Supreme Masters, and on the other hand, they have the top combat power in the universe. It is very appropriate to pursue them as idols.

And now, the final stage of the Universe Lord level battle in the first Powerhouse Battle of the Human Alliance is coming, and they can't help but get excited.

After this final stage, the strongest person in the entire Human Alliance's Universe Lord group will be born.

Because there are examples like Ye Yun, Luo Feng, and the Chaos City Lord, they may not be the strongest Universe Lord in history, but they are definitely the undisputed number one Universe Lord in the current Human Alliance!

Which of the twenty-five Universe Lords who entered the final stage doesn't want to win this honor?

Not to mention the rewards and incentives behind it, the glory of being the strongest Universe Lord alone is enough for them to fight for.

Anyway, it's already the final stage, and there's only the last step to reach the top ten.

Everyone basically knows each other well, and with the experience of previous battles, no one dares to say that they definitely have a high win rate against others, but it's not like there's no chance.

That is to say, among the remaining twenty-five people, anyone who performs well has the opportunity to defeat all the Universe Lords and finally win a spot in the top ten or even the championship.

Faced with the situation of being expected by everyone, Ye Yun did not delay at all, and directly announced the rules and regulations of the next final stage top ten competition.

If the twenty-five Universe Lords were to fight one-on-one, not only would one person have a bye, but the final result would also be thirteen winning Universe Lords.

In this way, not only will it be impossible to quickly determine the final top ten spots, but also the result of the competition will tend to be ordinary and even full of unfair variables.

Because of this, after entering the top twenty-five, the next top ten competition will no longer be a simple one-on-one elimination promotion, but will return to a similar points system.

Ye Yun waved his hand gently, attracting the attention of the Universe Lords on the surrounding hundred seats.

Whether it is the eliminated Universe Lords or the final top twenty-five list, at this moment, they are all completely focused on Ye Yun.

"The next schedule is divided into five groups, with five people in each group.

The group will conduct a double-cycle battle, that is to say, they have to fight each other twice with the other four people in the group, and each person has a total of eight battles.

A victory will earn one point, and a loss will deduct one point. The top two with the highest points will be directly promoted to the top ten. Five groups will make exactly ten spots.

After all, in the previously concluded Universe Venerable level powerhouse battle, the final top ten were also determined using similar rules.

However, this time, the top ten confirmation competition for the Universe Lord level has undergone certain changes and modifications.

The biggest difference is that in the previous various points competitions, although there was no reward for losing, there was also no punishment at all. At most, it was just not getting any points.

But now it's different. Victory can still get one point, but if you lose a game, you will directly deduct one point.

In this way, the cost of failure is greater. Even if you win one or two games, the final score will be negative, increasing the gap between others.

Therefore, under such a setting, the relationship between victory and defeat becomes extremely important, and each victory and defeat will greatly affect the final score result.

Of course, when wins and losses are linked to points, the intra-group battle and competition relationship will become more complicated.

Moreover, the double-cycle competition system also makes the final result present a more confusing development direction.

Because the strength gap between the top twenty-five is very small, and there is hope for victory between each other.

Therefore, the final score trend may reach a very anxious level, and it still needs to be concluded with the final tiebreaker.

The Universe Lords present are all shrewd people who have experienced countless years, and they almost instantly figured out the details of the next competition system.

However, no matter how the competition system changes, what remains unchanged is their own strength.

This is the most critical and important thing. If you don't have enough strength, then even if the competition system satisfies you, it won't be of much use.

What these twenty-five Universe Lords have to do next is to exert their strength as much as possible, win every battle as much as possible, and even if they lose a battle, don't occupy too many games.

Otherwise, the points competition between the five people in the same group is likely to be at a disadvantage.

For example, if you perform poorly in the first round and lose four consecutive games, then you will be left with the embarrassing record loophole of negative four points.

Even if you defeat those four opponents in the second round of the cycle and regain your position, you will only bring your score back to zero.

Without any points, the other four opponents in the group, as long as they guarantee a win rate of more than half, then they still have no chance of promotion.

So, it is said that to forge iron, one must be strong oneself. As long as there is enough strength to support it, then no matter what kind of competition system and rules, there will be no problem.

Of course, under the determined rules and competition system, and with full preparation, the selection of group members also occupies a large proportion.

Therefore, after waiting for these Universe Lords to react for a while, Ye Yun announced the group list for the top ten promotion competition.

In mid-air, that familiar transparent light screen reappeared. On the screen, the original list of fifty names had rapidly dimmed by half, leaving the names of the remaining twenty-five Universe Lords who had successfully advanced.

Compared to the previous ranking of the top fifty Universe Lords, this new list of the top twenty-five had undergone some slight changes in the specific ranking order.

The Lord of Purgatory, who was ranked first in the top fifty, had now moved to second place, with the Lord of Darkness taking the top spot.

Following them were, in order, the Lord of Purgatory, the Lord of the Golden Horn, the Lord of the Nine Hells, and the Lord of the Star River.

Pointing at this new list of the top twenty-five, Ye Yun spoke softly,

“The upcoming top ten promotion competition, with five groups, will be led by the top five Universe Lords on this list. The subsequent twenty Universe Lords will be assigned to the groups led by these five Universe Lords according to their respective rankings.”

Speaking to this point, Ye Yun paused slightly for a moment, and then continued, his words carrying a hint of playfulness.

“The ranking rules for this list are based on the amount of divine power remaining for each victorious Universe Lord after the previous battles among the top fifty.

The Lord of Darkness, who is ranked first, had 36% of his divine body energy remaining at the end, ranking him first among all the advancing Universe Lords.”

Hearing Ye Yun's explanation of the ranking rules, many Universe Lords revealed helpless expressions.

Ye Yun's tricks were truly numerous. They never would have imagined that this time, the ranking would be based on such rules again.

However, upon closer thought, they also realized that such rules were not a major issue.

After all, the divine body is the most fundamental aspect of a Universe Lord's being, the foundation of their combat prowess.

Without the support of the divine body and divine power, they would not even be able to fight, let alone unleash any power.

Therefore, being able to pay attention to the consumption of divine power during a battle is also an essential quality of a top-tier Universe Lord.

It could be seen from the ranking that each of the five Universe Lords in the top five possessed extremely solid fundamentals.

Regardless of the ranking rules used, whether it be combat speed, final win rate, or the current efficiency of divine power retention, these top fifth-tier Universe Lords could all rank at the forefront.

In other words, those who could reach the upper echelons of the top fifth-tier Universe Lords possessed extremely comprehensive qualities.

No matter what was being compared, they had no absolute weaknesses; at most, they were simply less proficient in certain areas, but they were still existences that others could only look up to.

The Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Purgatory, the Lord of the Golden Horn, the Lord of the Nine Hells, and the Lord of the Star River were each assigned to a different group.

This meant that these five would not encounter each other prematurely in the upcoming top ten promotion competition.

As outstanding individuals among the top fifth-tier Universe Lords, it would indeed be somewhat unfair if they were all placed in the same group.

After all, they all had a very high chance of entering the top ten, and Ye Yun would absolutely not want to see them eliminated due to the special format of the competition.

Fortunately, these five performed well and accurately made it into the top five according to the competition system, avoiding a brutal battle from the start.

However, some were happy while others were worried. The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Purgatory avoided encountering each other in the top ten promotion competition, but the other top fifth-tier Universe Lords were not so lucky.

Not to mention those slightly less famous top fifth-tier Universe Lords, just the Lord of Peng Gong, the Lord of the Black Lotus, and the Lord of the Crystalline Flames were all difficult to deal with.

Not being in the top five meant that the Lord of Peng Gong and his group would be assigned to the Lord of Darkness's team, and other similar groups.

No matter who they encountered, the next battle would be a very fierce confrontation and competition.

Fortunately, each group adopted the rule of the top two advancing, otherwise, some people would have been directly eliminated the moment the groups were determined.

However, the Lord of Peng Gong and the others, realizing this, did not show any special expression on their faces. Instead, a kind of eager fighting desire emerged.

No matter what the grouping rules were, collisions between them and other strong opponents were absolutely inevitable, and the number of top fifth-tier Universe Lords was not just ten.

In other words, no matter how they avoided fighting against the strong, the final result would still inevitably lead to this outcome.

Therefore, no matter what, what they needed to do was to ensure their strength and performance as much as possible, and try their best to win every battle.

The Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Purgatory, and the Lord of the Golden Horn were indeed difficult to deal with and not easy to defeat, but where was the Lord of Peng Gong lacking?

Therefore, as long as they had enough confidence in themselves and devoted themselves to the upcoming battles, the Lord of Peng Gong was confident that his name would definitely be on the final list of the top ten.

Ye Yun waved his hand gently, and five beams of light of different colors fell on the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Purgatory, and the other top five on the ranking list.

Immediately afterwards, corresponding colors of light began to appear on the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Purgatory.

Without Ye Yun's introduction, everyone knew that this was the basis for the upcoming grouping, with different colors representing different groups.

In the next instant, the names on the ranking list on the light screen began to fluctuate.

The Lord of Darkness's corresponding group color was green, and then it was seen that the name of the Lord of Peng Gong, who was ranked sixth, also began to show a green glow.

In other words, the Lord of Darkness, who was ranked first, and the Lord of Peng Gong, who was ranked sixth, were officially assigned to the same group!

Seeing this scene, not only did the Universe Lords look at the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Peng Gong, but the two parties also looked at each other, each seeing the look in the other's eyes.

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly towards the Lord of Peng Gong with a faint smile.

For such a grouping, neither the Lord of Darkness nor the Lord of Peng Gong had any other ideas. The belief in their hearts was still to insist on winning every battle.

Seeing the Lord of Peng Gong, who was ranked sixth, assigned to the Lord of Darkness's group, the Universe Lords had a further understanding and awareness of the established rules for this top ten promotion competition.
