Douluo Continent.
Heaven Dou Empire, Soto City.
Shrek Academy.
"Teacher, your theory is amazing."
Beside him, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of pride forcing its way onto his otherwise stiff face.
"Naturally. My theories are unrivaled in this world. As long as you strictly follow my tactics, even Spirit Hall's Golden Generation will only serve as your stepping stones."
Not far away, Dai Mubai lounged casually, holding two twin beauties in his arms.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were lewdly discussing which academy's female Spirit Masters had better figures.
However—
In the very next second!
Rumble!
The originally clear and vast sky instantly shattered, as if torn apart like a scroll, leaving behind a massive gaping rift!
Immediately after, a brilliant golden light—visible from every corner of the world—burst forth, spanning across the heavens and the earth!
Within that golden radiance, there seemed to exist the aura of a supreme Law from another realm.
Before this presence, whether it was Qian Daoliu—who had long reached the pinnacle of a ninety-ninth-rank Super Douluo—or Bibi Dong, who ruled from the Supreme Pontiff Palace with absolute authority…
Or even Bo Saixi of Sea God Island—
At this moment, all of them felt an unprecedented tremor deep within their souls!
[The Myriad Realms Heavenly Screen opens today!]
[Connecting to the Supreme Plane: Perfect Great World!]
[Detected that the Douluo Plane's Spiritual Qi is thin and its Laws are incomplete. Opening the Ascension Channel!]
A cold, grand, mechanical voice—devoid of any human emotion—resounded in the minds of every living being across the Douluo Continent.
Moments later, the images upon the massive golden screen began to shift. A vast and ancient land slowly revealed itself.
There were primeval remnant species flapping their wings—each wing like a cloud hanging from the heavens—and with a single motion, a hundred thousand mountains were reduced to dust!
There were creatures wreathed in lightning that, with a single breath, devoured the essence of the sun and moon!
That primal, prehistoric aura surged forward, suffocating everyone on the Douluo Continent!
[The rules are as follows:]
[The heavenly screen will randomly select individuals from the Douluo Continent to be teleported to the Perfect Great World.]
[For every year survived in the Perfect Great World, one will gain an opportunity to return to their original world with treasures!]
[There, one can obtain the Elixir of Immortality, opportunities for ascension, and even supreme cultivation techniques capable of crushing eternity with a single drop of blood!]
As the voice faded, after a brief moment of silence, the entire Douluo Continent erupted in excitement!
"Longevity... it really exists?!"
Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye suddenly stood up, greed blazing within his aged eyes.
"A cultivation technique that can crush eternity? If we obtain it, why would we need to fear unifying the continent?"
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong tightened her grip on her scepter, her breathing turning rapid.
At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement, his stiff face flushing red.
"An opportunity! This is a monumental opportunity!"
"The creatures of that world are so powerful—it must be due to a unique cultivation system!"
"If I can go there and study it, my Ten Core Competencies of Spirits will surely achieve another breakthrough! It might even solve my trash physique that prevents me from breaking past level thirty!"
Beside him, Tang San's eyes shimmered with a faint purple glow as he clenched his fists.
"The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record mentions a wider world beyond this one."
"If there are top-tier immortal herbs there, then breaking through would be effortless!"
At this moment, greed clouded everyone's judgment. Few realized that this was a higher-dimensional world—far more dangerous than they imagined.
Soon, the selection began.
[Selection for the first batch of explorers begins!]
[Available slots: Three!]
[Random selection in progress...]
Golden light surged across the heavenly screen as countless names rapidly scrolled past.
Everyone across the continent held their breath.
Who would be chosen?
A single step to the heavens—today was the day!
[Ding! First selected: Heaven Dou Empire, Saint Spirit Village villager—Wang Ergou!]
The screen flickered, revealing an honest-looking farmer in the middle of hoeing his field. He looked utterly stunned.
"Me? I was chosen?"
Still clutching his hoe, Wang Ergou stood frozen in disbelief.
The crowd erupted into an uproar, marveling at his incredible luck.
[Ding! Second selected: Outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest—Captain of the Vicious God Team, Meng Li (Level 52 Spirit King)!]
The scene shifted to a scar-faced bandit leader in the midst of robbery and slaughter.
"Hahaha! I was chosen? I truly am the child of destiny!"
Meng Li hacked down a caravan guard before bursting into wild laughter.
[Ding! Third selected: Sect Master of Elephant Armored Academy—Hu Yan Zhen (Level 87 Defense-type Spirit Douluo)!]
The moment this name appeared, the entire Spirit Master world was shaken!
Elephant Armored Academy—one of the Seven Great Sects!
Hu Yan Zhen, known as the "Heavenly Elephant," possessed defensive power said to be unmatched among his peers—even capable of withstanding attacks from a Titled Douluo!
"Hahahaha!"
Inside Elephant Armored Academy, a massive figure stood up like a mountain, causing the entire hall to tremble.
Hu Yan Zhen's scar-covered face quivered with excitement, his eyes blazing with joy.
"The heavens are helping me! The heavens are helping me!"
"With the defensive power of my Diamond Mammoth, even in that Perfect World, I can walk unhindered!"
"Once I bring back immortal medicine and break through to Titled Douluo—or even ascend to godhood—the number one sect in the world will be my Elephant Armored Academy!"
Seeing Hu Yan Zhen selected, people from all factions revealed expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Damn it! That old geezer got there first!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong scowled at the heavenly screen.
"This is troublesome. With Hu Yan Zhen's defensive power, his chances of survival are extremely high."
Ning Fengzhi frowned, feeling a rare sense of crisis.
Even Tang San couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"If it's Hu Yan Zhen… then his chances are indeed great."
And so, under countless watchful eyes and envious gazes—
[Teleportation begins!]
Buzz!
Three pillars of light descended from the heavens, instantly enveloping the chosen three.
In the next moment, the heavenly screen split into three perspectives, beginning a full live broadcast!
---
Perfect World
The Great Desolation — Outskirts
Ancient trees towered into the sky, each reaching heights of thousands of meters, like mountains themselves.
The air was thick with an ancient, violent aura.
Shua!
Three figures appeared simultaneously within the jungle.

[First Perspective: Villager Wang Ergou]
The moment Wang Ergou's feet touched the ground—
Thud!
An overwhelming force of gravity crashed down like a mountain!
He collapsed to his knees instantly, gasping for breath, his face turning bright red.
"Th-this place... it's unbearable..."
He struggled to stand.
Just then, a multicolored butterfly drifted gently past him.
It was breathtakingly beautiful, its wings shimmering like a dream—and as large as a washbasin.
"W-what a beautiful butterfly..."
Wang Ergou subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch it.
