I Am Overlord

Chapter 1713: A Hundred Years



Chapter 1713: A Hundred Years

The Celestial War King did not dare to attack in such a public setting because it would only disqualify him as a candidate. Thus, after glaring at Xiang Shaoyun, he rushed toward a seat in the second row. He had to ensure that he could secure a seat in the front rows.

There were only 10 seats in the first row. Xiang Shaoyun had managed to snatch the ninth seat, but that was because he had been in the middle of the crowd. If he had been in front of the group, he would have been able to snatch an even better seat.

However, he was happy enough with his seat. So long as he managed to get a seat in the front row, he would not bring dishonor to his master. Seated on seat number 8 beside him was none other than Ling Ziruo. As for seat number 10 to his other side, it was occupied by Yu Tianhuang. It truly wasn\'t easy for enemies to stay away from each other.

Xiang Shaoyun knew that Yu Tianhuang was probably no weaker than Ling Ziruo. It was obvious how much strength the Yu Clan had accumulated over the years. Eventually, all 10 front row seats were occupied. The candidates in the front row were respectively Qin Jiu, Gongsun Sanyang, Ji Feixian, Mo Du, Ling Ziruo, Xiang Shaoyun, Yu Tianhuang, Zhong Ding, Dugu Qiubai, and Shi Gong.

Zhong Ding was guardian god Huang Tian\'s disciple. He once met Xiang Shaoyun at the Darkdevil Sect, but the two had not been able to fight each other. At the time, Zhong Ding was already a Great Saint. After so many years, he had grown rapidly, reaching sixth-stage Rebirth Realm.

That was all thanks to the care Huang Tian had taken to grow his disciple. Zhong Ding did not disappoint, as he had been able to rapidly increase his cultivation. Dugu Qiubai was the owner of a Primal Chaos Physique. Unlike Xiang Shaoyun, he was born with the physique. Xiang Shaoyun, on the other hand, had needed to fuse his stars to form his physique long after birth. Thus, Dugu Qiubai was able to progress quickly in his cultivation. He was already a fifth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator.

Shi Gong came from the Nine Palace Academy. He was a mature-looking man, and he was 990 years old. It was lucky that the competition happened when it did, as he was only 10 years away from surpassing the age requirement.

He was a disciple of the Nine Palace Academy from a batch over 900 years ago. Even back then, he had proved his incredible talent. After encountering several fortuitous encounters, he had been hidden away by the academy to be trained in secret. They had been awaiting an opportunity for him to wow the world with one single feat.

As a seventh-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator, he was among the five strongest individuals in the top-10 candidates. Among the top 10, Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang were the strongest and were at eighth-stage Rebirth Realm. Their cultivation levels were far beyond their peers\'. As for the others, Ji Feixian, Mo Du, and Shi Gong were seventh-stage Rebirth Realm cultivators; Ling Ziruo, Yu Tianhuang and Zhong Ding were sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivators; Dugu Qiubai was a fifth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator; and Xiang Shaoyun was a fourth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator.

These were the dominion\'s most talented young Gods. Their true strength couldn\'t be measured by their cultivation levels alone. However, there was no doubt that a higher cultivation level would still grant one an advantage over one\'s peers.

As a fourth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator, it was obvious Xiang Shaoyun was the most disadvantaged candidate in the top 10. Apart from those in the top 10, there were many other powerful candidates as well. Some of them might not necessarily be weaker than those in the top 10. Only during the final fight for the position would they display all their strength.

When all the young Gods were seated, Gongsun Yingxiong spoke, "Since the establishment of the Guardians Guild, we have been fighting for the peace of humanity. We have worked hard to fight against the aliens and the devils. I believe this is clear for the world to see. Unfortunately, we have remained without a leader after the first guild master went missing. This time, the two deputies and the various God Realm elders have agreed to elect a young guild master. The young guild master will replace us old-timers and lead the guild during these chaotic times, ensuring humanity\'s continued existence and glory. The young guild master will be elected from among you."

The young Gods had long been made aware of that, but they couldn\'t help but smile in excitement upon hearing those words.

The young guild master was a supreme position. And upon becoming the actual guild master, one would rank beyond everyone in the dominion, becoming its true leader. Who wouldn\'t wish to obtain such glory?

"You\'re all exceptional geniuses who have passed the three trials. However, that does not mean that you\'re qualified to be the young guild master. The final test is the one that matters. Those who wish to become the young guild master shall leave the dominion, go to the outside domain, and kill the aliens for 100 years. Afterward, the one who killed the most aliens and contributed the most to humanity shall become the young guild master," announced Gongsun Yingxiong.

A wave of disturbance rippled through the young Gods.

"Where can we find the aliens? Have we discovered their homeland?"

"That\'s a good idea. Since they dare to invade us, we shall bring the fight to their home. We shall decimate them."

"But if we all go to fight the aliens, who will be left to deal with the devils and zombies?"

"A hundred years seem to be a tad bit too long, right? Then again, I am the only one who can be the young guild master."

...

"You might be the dominion\'s most talented geniuses, but don\'t think that you are all the dominion has. The devils and other such evil beings won\'t be able to do much. As for the outside domain, you will have to rely on yourself. Us old-timers will not provide any help. Perhaps this will be your final trip. You will die and be forgotten. The one to return victorious will be the young guild master, the one to reign above many others. Even us, the old-timers, will do our best to end all chaos and return peace to the dominion," said Qin Hongyan.

"That\'s right. You can still withdraw now. We won\'t blame you," said Gongsun Sanyang.

"We\'re willing to head to the outside domain and slay the aliens!" roared the young Gods as their heroic spirit bloomed.

"Very good. To help you get started, the guild will grant each of you a god-grade warship, one million cubic god crystals, and a pot of god-grade spring water," said Qin Hongyan.

Next, the God Realm elders handed out storage rings. Each ring contained a massive ancient warship, one million god crystals, and a pot of spring water. These items would be helpful to the young Gods when they ventured outside the dominion.

After all the rings were handed out, Qin Hongyan gave them some reminders before announcing that everyone present would be sent to the outside domain through a teleportation formation after one month passed.

In fact, the aliens were already appearing outside the dominion. Ge Yi alone stood in their path. It was time for these young Gods to reinforce him.
