Time passed minute by minute.
The area enveloped by the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower had been completely emptied. Only those willing to join were permitted to enter, including people brought from other worlds in the Three Realms.
After witnessing the very high death rate and cruel elimination on the first floor before, not many ordinary people dared to enter anymore. Humans basically cherished life; although high risk was often accompanied by great results, this time the risk felt too excessive.
*BUZZ!*
The Sacred Ruins Trial Tower that had been silent for three full days finally moved again. Around the tower, rings of bright blue light began spreading to the surrounding environment, rippling like water waves, enveloping all living beings within its range. All people wrapped in that blue light disappeared instantly upon contact with those light rings.
"It's started..."
Bang, Jiraiya, and Aokiji and Kizaru's group who were in the hotel couldn't help but stand. Their eyes gleamed staring at that giant tower piercing the sky.
A semi-transparent crystal screen stretched in the sky, still displaying images from the first floor. Most participants were ordinary people.
Meanwhile, in a room on one of the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower's floors, Kuro wore a long robe while holding a staff of authority. He stared at the empty space before him; his gaze penetrated dimensions, seeing the outside world.
"It seems this is less exciting... it would be more interesting if everyone could see it!"
"Master?" Crystal light on the staff in Kuro's hand lit up, and Kaiser's figure appeared in the air.
"Your idea is good, I permit it!" Kaiser waved his hand casually.
Instantly, the sky in the outside world changed drastically. Clouds gathered, and massive amounts of seawater were lifted upward in reverse, forming giant screens in outer space broadcasting the current situation inside the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower.
At the same time, everyone's minds mysteriously entered a miraculous spiritual space, which allowed them to connect with those screens in the sky.
"This... is this the Chat Room?"
Shirohige, Roger, Saitama, and others who were already experienced were immediately shocked. They reflexively looked at the Gold List in the sky above.
"Indeed, this Gold List's First Place is an existence equivalent to the Gold List itself. He can even create such a miraculous live broadcast space. With this, we can see the situation inside the tower in real-time, and can even communicate with each other..."
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Inside the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower.
Kaiser's figure appeared there. The world beneath him shook violently and underwent major changes. A new world formed just with a wave of his hand.
"Since this is a selection of 'seeds', it will be more interesting if I participate in it..." Kaiser smiled faintly, his body suddenly transformed into a stream of light that fell and disappeared.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Seventh Floor of the Trial Tower.
Gin looked around, observing his surroundings with wonder. Before entering here, he had imagined what it would be like inside, but he absolutely didn't expect to see scenery like this.
He was in the middle of a valley. Above him was a clear blue sky, and there wasn't a single person around him. Suddenly, a virtual screen appeared on his retina.
[Name: Gin]
[Current Identity: Ginyu Force Member]
[Mission: Collect seven Namek Dragon Balls]
[Failure Penalty: Obliteration]
"Planet Namek... Seven Dragon Balls... Frieza..."
Massive amounts of memories suddenly flooded Gin's mind. It took quite a while for him to digest everything, and he showed an extremely shocked expression.
"This... turns out to be a new world!"
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Outside, the crystal screen in the sky also displayed separate broadcasts from various tower floors, making everyone very shocked.
[Shirohige: "This turns out to be a new world? No, it seems each floor is a new world, and everyone's environment is different!"]
[Aokiji: "I'm at the location now. There are no changes whatsoever outside the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower. Everyone has been sucked into it, we saw it with our own eyes. This Gold List's First Place is truly terrifying."]
[Senju Hashirama: "Extraordinary. Although this tower is very large, it feels impossible it could contain such vast space. Does it contain an independent dimension inside?"]
[Garou: "Interesting, very interesting. Unfortunately I didn't make it in time, otherwise I would definitely enter to see it!"]
[Orochimaru: "Kekekekeke, Garou, I've been looking for you for a long time. Turns out you also intended to go to the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower. In that case I'll wait for you there. There's a transaction I want to discuss with you..."]
[Garou: "A fighter from the Strongest List... I've long wanted to challenge you all..."]
Each space on each floor formed its own world. There were apocalyptic scenarios with corpses everywhere, there were stunning science fiction worlds, and there were also dark places without light...
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
"Gin, what are you doing!"
Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted Gin's reverie. A figure flew through the air and appeared above the valley. Gin was shocked seeing that person could float in the air. "Devil Fruit user?"
"What are you talking about?" Jeice landed slowly while furrowing his brow. He looked around. "Didn't I tell you to find the location of the third Dragon Ball? You're slacking off?"
Gin immediately reacted and said quickly, "No, I just needed to go and ran here for a moment to relieve myself."
Jeice snorted coldly: "You better be more serious, or if you mess up Lord Frieza's grand plan, don't blame others if you die! Trash!"
Gin's eyes gradually grew cold. He stared at the white-haired red-skinned man before him with displeasure. Being called trash so suddenly really annoyed him!
"What are you looking at? Move quickly!" Jeice snapped, then turned and flew away from the valley.
Gin felt a bit pressured. Looking at the high valley, he pondered for a moment, then stomped his foot in the air using the Geppo (Moonwalk) technique to leave that valley. Although he obtained a new identity in this world, he didn't automatically receive this world's training methods; he didn't know how to fly like that person earlier.
"I must obtain that flying method!" Gin muttered in his heart.
Near the valley, a small spaceship was parked with its door open. A sturdy purple-skinned man with black horns on both sides of his temples stood beside the ship. He glanced at Gin briefly without saying anything, then directly entered the ship.
Beside that horned man appeared a line of text: Ginyu Force Captain, Ginyu!
Gin also followed in silently. At this time he didn't yet know his specific course of action. Since his current identity was a member of this special team, then he would just follow them.
That spaceship spewed hot fire, shooting into the sky toward the northwest direction. Inside the ship, Jeice pulled out a strange compass-like device with several blinking red dots.
"Right ahead, distance thirty kilometers. That should be the location of the third Dragon Ball!"
