Chapter 1632

"Any kind of rules?" He asked casually with a strange glint in his eyes.

"In principle, you're free to do whatever you want. Of course, the rules of the competition have to be as fair as possible. Don't let some of the truly good seedlings have any regrets," Dao Lord Heaven Eye reminded.

Trying to be as fair as possible was easier said than done.

The four sub-lists of the Chaotic Myriad Spirit Roll selected talents based on different conditions. Among these people, there were those with mediocre aptitude but profound cultivation bases, those with exceptional aptitude but were still young, and there were also those who were outstanding in a certain field but ordinary in other fields.

How could it be fair for such a different group of people to be ranked under the same standards?

No matter what, there would always be people who would be sacrificed.

Such a selection system greatly tested the wisdom and methods of the Dao Lords. The Dao Lords were relaxed and curious about how Gu Chen was going to be the examiner.

Gu Chen stepped into the air and arrived above the square alone.

His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his face seemed to be in deep thought.

The 655,555 participants waited with bated breaths. Even the members of the Tyrant County could not guess what kind of assessment method Gu Chen would adopt.

"There are high and low cultivation levels, strong and weak aptitudes, and poor skills."

"However, at the beginning of life, divine powers are not apparent and everyone is the most equal. By returning everything to zero, we can naturally try our best to be fair in an unfair situation. "

Gu Chen's calm voice reverberated throughout the entire plaza. The hundred thousand cultivators were confused, and the Dao Lords were surprised as well.

"Return to zero? How can we return to zero? "

A few Dao Lords muttered to themselves. They saw Gu Chen raise his left hand and the ring formed by the Formless Thousand Weapons on his left hand released a dazzling white light at that moment!

The white light quickly spread out like a sun. It slowly descended onto the square and enveloped the hundred thousand cultivators on the board!

The white light squirmed for dozens of breaths before slowly disappearing. When everyone's vision returned to normal, they realized that the square had changed drastically!

The square, which was originally paved with green bricks, had turned into an extremely complicated landscape. There were mountain ranges, deserts, a world of ice and snow, and thousands of miles of barren land. It was obvious that this was a training ground.

The 655,555 cultivators were scattered across the training grounds, observing their surroundings with curious looks on their faces.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Gu is planning to have the 655,555 cultivators fight amongst themselves in this trial ground to determine the top 65,555?"

Dao Lord Qin teased when he saw this. He felt that Gu Chen was indeed too young.

Although the terrain of the trial ground seemed complicated, the 655,555 cultivators were the most elite living beings in the Chaos Sea. If the distant galaxy could not stop them, what use was the desert ice plains?

A mere change of location for a hundred thousand cultivators to fight was completely unnecessary and a laughingstock!

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you in such a hurry? Frined Gu must have left out other rules."

Dao Lord Su was also a little surprised by Gu Chen's actions, but he naturally spoke up for him at this time.

"The rules of this ranking battle are very simple."

Gu Chen ignored the doubts of the Dao Lords behind him. His voice was like thunder that spread throughout the entire place.

"There are hidden items known as trial tokens in various parts of this trial ground. You have two days to search for these tokens. After two days, you will be ranked according to the number of tokens you have. "

The rules of Gu Chen's competition were so simple that it was unbelievable. Many Dao Lords were speechless and found it unbelievable.

How big was the trial ground? Given the speed of the participants, they would probably be able to find all the tokens in less than an hour. Wouldn't it turn into a tragic battle in the end?

Such a competition rule clearly sounded like it had not been thought through!

For a moment, the Dao Lords felt that Gu Chen was too casual and regretted letting him be the examiner.

When the 655,555 participants heard the rules, they did not question whether it was reasonable or not. Instead, many of them looked excited.

"Just looking for the tokens? Is it that simple? "

"Given my speed, I have a huge advantage!"

Amidst the heated discussions, the expressions of some sharp cultivators suddenly changed as they looked at their hands in shock.

Some of the other cultivators subconsciously called out. "Not good! Why can't I activate my Origin Power?! "

With the first cultivator's discovery, the other cultivators realized a terrifying fact as well.

The Origin Power in their bodies seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden!

They had turned into mortals!

"What's going on?"

Many of the contestants looked at each other and suddenly remembered what Gu Chen had said before about returning to zero.

Returning to zero?

Everything they once had, be it talent or cultivation, had it truly returned to zero?

Many participants shuddered and looked at the barren mountains and rivers of the trial ground – it did not seem like they were as easy to deal with as before!

"How did Uncle Gu do it? He's not even letting me off? "

Feng Yaya looked at her Divine Hands of Creation and realized that the ability she was so proud of had disappeared as well. She was so shocked that she could not close her mouth.

She wasn't the only one. Even those half-step Daolords with incredibly deep cultivation bases had lost their original abilities within the trial grounds!

All the participants had become mortals. Under such circumstances, they had to challenge all kinds of dangerous environments and deal with other opponents!

The Dao Lords quickly noticed the restlessness of the participants. After understanding what had happened, everyone gasped and looked at Gu Chen in shock.

How did he do it?

He had single-handedly made 655,555 living beings who stood at the top of the hundred chaotic counties lose their cultivation and abilities!

Dao Lords could easily slaughter a large number of participants, but no one could do such a thing!

"It's very similar to what happened in the past."

Crazy Dao Lord looked at the unfathomable Gu Chen in the sky with an exceptionally gloomy expression.

He had experienced this when Gu Chen grabbed his head and smashed it against the ground on Ling Xiao Mountain in the Sword Region!

At that time, he could not use all of his violent power, as if it had disappeared mysteriously. He had been brooding over it and could not understand it.

After that, he kept thinking about it, thinking that there was something wrong with his cultivation. However, seeing that 655,555 cultivators had lost their abilities, he suddenly realized that what had happened before was not an accident at all!

The other party clearly had a terrifying ability to seal others' essence!

Crazy Dao Lord had personally experienced it, but the other Dao Lords could only speculate.

Looking at the participants who had lost all their abilities, the Dao Lords' hearts turned cold. They wondered if Gu Chen could do the same to them.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Gu Chen returned to his seat and sat down.

"Let's begin. This battle will not be easy for you."
