Ning Xi's livestream room had 1.4 million+ viewers.
Super God Athena's livestream room had 100,000+ viewers.
The two livestream rooms had a combined total of 1.5 million viewers.
Under the attention of countless people, Super God Athena vs. Liuli, the PK began.
Whoosh!
At the instant the battle began, a beam of red light descended from the sky and enveloped Ning Xi.
[Ding~ Player Super God Athena has used the talent Declare War on you (you will be forcibly engaged in a 1v1 duel with the opponent, unable to be interfered with by the outside world, and during this period the opponent's final damage +50% until the winner is decided, and you cannot act before the opponent launches their first attack on you)!]
Using her S-rank talent to hard-control Ning Xi, Super God Athena's blue eyes displayed absolute confidence in herself, as well as extreme disdain for her opponent.
"I admit you're very strong, but that's because you haven't met me!"
"Want to become a member of the God Race faction?"
"Ask this blade in my hand first, then talk!"
As soon as she finished speaking, as Super God Athena's gaze turned cold...
Buzz!
The battle blade in her hand flared with a burst of blood-red light and burst into flames.
S-rank Blood Blade (the next attack ignores 100% of the opponent's defense)!
S-rank Flame Enhancement (the next attack's damage is doubled)!
In her ultimate state, Super God Athena gripped the battle blade and charged toward Ning Xi.
S-rank skill, One-Blade Slash!
Whoosh!
Her blade rose and fell.
-31698!
Ning Xi's HP could be seen dropping by only a quarter.
In contrast, the expression on Super God Athena's face visibly changed from smugness to disbelief.
And in the gaze she directed at Ning Xi, there was even more shock and fear.
The restrictive effect of the S-rank talent Declare War was also severed by Super God Athena's slash.
Before Ning Xi could make a move herself...
Whoosh!
A fox shadow flashed past.
-413698!
The extremely high white true damage instantly killed Super God Athena.
Even her pet, the Epic-rank Cat Demon, was instantly killed by Ning Xi's Ancestral-rank Heavenly Bewitchment Fox Clan Empress · Ah Li.
Whoosh!
White light lit up.
As the defeated party, Super God Athena was teleported by the system outside the arena.
Immediately, mocking voices filled the livestream screen.
["I originally thought she was holding back some big move, but I didn't expect her to take a huge dump instead!"]
["She stood there and let you hit her, and after one slash you only took off this tiny bit of her HP!"]
["So you spent all that time farming until you got to Liuli just to specially come and give Liuli points? Wasn't this just humiliating yourself?"]
["Holy shit hahaha! I can't do this anymore, I'm dying laughing!"]
Super God Athena's face was full of embarrassment, and she was utterly humiliated.
Embarrassed and angry, she flushed red and directly quit the Divine Altar, giving up on the trial.
After all this commotion, Ning Xi's fame instead became even greater.
Countless players who were watching the battle were all filled with admiration for Ning Xi.
["The damage being absurd is one thing, but I never expected my Goddess Liuli's defense to be this high too."]
["It's over! Before, I only had a little goodwill toward her, but now I've completely fallen for my Goddess Liuli."]
["What do you mean your Goddess Liuli? She's obviously my Goddess Liuli!"]
["Rulebound! You really deserve to die! How can you get to eat this well!"]
["I want to be Cao Cao!"]
The small interlude did not cause any ripples.
The trial continued.
Forty minutes later, the second major stage of the competition ended.
According to the real-time points ranking, this time, Nether had suddenly surpassed Ning Xi's 14,330 points with 14,360 points, reaching first place with a 30-point lead.
The situation became increasingly tense.
Countless players were speculating.
Who would ultimately be the winner of this God-Creation Trial, Nether or Liuli?
And after 30% of the players were eliminated in the second major stage of the competition, when the third major stage began, only 445 trial players remained.
These 445 people would compete in the final showdown.
At exactly nine o'clock in the evening, the final match, the most crucial one and the one that would decide the winner, officially began.
With Nether and Liuli as the core, almost everyone's attention was focused on the two of them.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Under Qin Ming's mental commands, the thirteen Skeleton Warriors quickly killed one opponent after another.
[Ding~ Player Nether, congratulations on defeating opponent·Camilla, points +30!]
[Ding~ Player Nether, congratulations on defeating opponent·Snow of June, points +30!]
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ning Xi likewise relied on her SSS-rank talent Supreme Emperor.
With tenfold spellcasting amplification + tenfold damage amplification, she instantly killed every opponent she was matched against.
[Ding~ Player Liuli, congratulations on defeating opponent·Lu Ha, points +30!]
[Ding~ Player Liuli, congratulations on defeating opponent·Second Young Master Zhang, points +30!]
As time passed second by second, on the points leaderboard, Nether and Liuli's points rose rapidly in almost exactly the same trend.
The system's broadcast of the remaining trial time made the hearts of all the spectators rise to their throats...
10!
9!
8!
7...
3!
2!
1!
[Ding~ All players, please take note: The God-Creation Ultimate Trial has ended!]
At the same moment the system released this announcement.
Under the attention of countless people.
On the points leaderboard.
The system locked onto the names of the players in first place.
[Nether] (Points 29990)
[Liuli] (Points 29990)
"Holy crap!"
"The two scores are exactly the same!"
"Tied for first!"
In an instant, all the players present erupted.
"This Nether is actually this strong! He's actually on par with my Goddess Liuli!"
"That's insane! He left third place behind by a full twenty thousand points! It's a complete dimensionality reduction attack!"
"So what do they do now? Can both of them join the God Race faction?"
"But wasn't it said that there was only one spot?"
Just as quite a few players were wildly speculating over this result.
The system's voice once again resounded throughout the entire Inferno City.
[Citywide Announcement (Inferno City): "Ding~ Due to players Nether and Liuli being tied for first place, the system will conduct an additional match! Players Nether and Liuli, please go to the Divine Altar at exactly ten o'clock tomorrow morning to participate in the additional trial (the additional trial will use a best-of-three format, and the winner will receive the God Race bloodline reward)!"]
Hearing this system announcement, Qin Feng let out a sigh and said, "Sigh! In the end, it still couldn't be avoided."
"This Nether has a Judgment skill. Sister-in-law's strength in damage is precisely and completely suppressed by it. She has no advantage at all in a one-on-one fight with him."
"It's over, it's over! This is over!"
Xia Wanwan hurriedly made a "shh" gesture toward Qin Feng.
Only then did Qin Feng realize that he had been so blunt, and it would inevitably undermine Ning Xi's confidence.
He quickly covered his mouth, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! Your damage is so high that even if it's suppressed, dealing with Nether will definitely still be a piece of cake!"
"Tomorrow, you will definitely win!"
Ning Xi did not speak. She silently left the Divine Mountain Forest.
———
On the other side, Super God Athena came to Qin Ming's side.
"How is it? This additional match tomorrow,"
"With your strength, you should have no problem fighting Liuli one-on-one, right?"
Before Qin Ming could speak.
Godfather suddenly walked over and handed a magic scroll to Qin Ming, "Give me a definite result."
Qin Ming reached out and took the magic scroll from Godfather.
