403: Spinning Top

The Warden always verifies the information, and although he said a bit more this time, it was understandable. This is a competition, and in the end, it needs highlights and popularity.

Chen Du knew that the essence of this competition was to solidify the Prophet Civilization's position in the hearts of the various races Underground.

Popularity and highlights are similar, and Chen Du's origin is a natural and huge highlight.

No matter what race, they will instinctively expect the story of a brave hero fighting a Dragon to happen.

Over hundreds of years, it's not strange for the Gloomy Land to have had people participate in this competition or for no one to have participated.

But the Civilization that signed up for S1 was truly too unexpected.

Chen Du never expected to hear the four words 'Shan Hai Civilization' from the Warden's mouth.

Chen Du, who had originally felt no emotional fluctuations, felt his heart skip a beat upon hearing this.

According to Cao Daba's description, the Shan Hai Civilization was one of the four former Overlord-level Civilizations on the Surface, but for some unknown reason, there was a gap in the transmission of information.

No one knew about it, not just the High Martial Civilization, but even Great Civilizations like the Succubus Civilization didn't know.

This is why it became three former Overlord-level Civilizations.

It was as if this Shan Hai Civilization had never existed.

Now, hearing the Warden say this, could this Shan Hai Civilization, like the Sword Arrive Civilization, also be a Civilization from Underground?

And a Civilization from the Gloomy Land?

One must know that the Shan Hai Civilization are all Natural Lifeforms, a very special existence. If they were truly in the Gloomy Land, it would be impossible for them to have no reputation at all, and the Gloomy Land would not have consistently been at the bottom.

Therefore, Chen Du's first thought was that this Shan Hai Civilization that signed up for S1 should be fake, like himself, a disguise of another Civilization.

But if it was like himself, wouldn't that mean there really was a Shan Hai Civilization in the Gloomy Land?

Chen Du thought about it for a moment and realized it wasn't impossible, because Lu Li was within the territory of the Shushu Civilization!

Chen Du's memories of the Land of Finality were vivid. At the time, he hadn't considered this, but could the starting point of the Shan Hai Civilization be in the Gloomy Land?

Even more boldly, could the territory where the Shushu Civilization is located have previously belonged to the Shan Hai Civilization?

Chen Du thought this because his reason for going to the Land of Finality was Wu La's goddess, Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran was ensnared by Commander Qi.

To put it plainly, the events in the Land of Finality were part of Commander Qi's plan. He needed sacrifices to open that door, and Xiao Ran and Wu La were both sacrifices.

It's just a pity that Chen Du wasn't Wu La.

But the most fundamental reason behind this was that Commander Qi possessed an ancient book, which recorded the so-called Ending Civilization, and this was the beginning of everything.

Now that he thinks about it, could this Ending Civilization be the Shan Hai Civilization?

And was Lu Li imprisoned precisely because he recorded some events of the Land of Finality?

Chen Du connected all these events and felt that they seemed to link up.

However, if that were the case, the timeline wouldn't match.

According to the information Chen Du had, at the time the Shan Hai Civilization appeared on the Surface, the region of the Gloomy Land shouldn't have even been officially established yet.

Or is it that some information is wrong, or something was missed?

Chaos, Chen Du only felt a tangled mess in his heart.

As his strength increased, the unknown problems and questions only grew more numerous.

Originally, the Shan Hai Civilization was just a Civilization forgotten for unknown reasons, perhaps they were biding their time or something else.

Now, there's another mystery: they might be a Civilization from Underground, just like the Sword Arrive Civilization.

The Warden's words made the spectators in the audience a little excited.

It had been so many years, and finally, a Civilization from the Gloomy Land had come to compete, and by the looks of it, they weren't weak.

It wasn't so much that they were particularly looking forward to a Civilization from the Gloomy Land, but rather that it brought a sense of novelty.

However, it was a pity that this Shushu Civilization was facing the Botao Civilization, and what's more, it was this year's strongest contestant from the Botao Civilization, Wen Bo!

The outcome should have been without suspense, but there were still some who, despite not believing in evil, bet on Chen Du to win at the start.

"Come on, let's open another round. I'm betting on Wu La, you guys do whatever you want."

The one speaking was the same Unique individual who had bet on Chen Du in the second round of the competition.

"No, buddy, you really don't want to make money, do you?"

"It doesn't matter, it's small change. I'm the kind of person who comes empty-handed and leaves empty-handed."

"Earning your resources isn't very interesting, just having fun is enough."

After saying that, he put all the resources he had won in the second round on Chen Du, experiencing the thrill of going all-in.

"Alright, brother, you're a righteous man. Then this round, we're all betting on Wen Bo!"

... "Start!"

With the Warden's command, both contestants moved simultaneously.

Chen Du and Wen Bo didn't know each other, and there was no wasted talk. Wen Bo didn't hold back just because Chen Du was from the Gloomy Land.

In this match, as the last match on Arena 3, Wen Bo went all out from the start.

His body, like a spinning top, began to rotate in place, spinning faster and faster, and the intense rotation created a certain amount of wind pressure around him.

Once the rotation speed reached a certain level, a white Vicious Beast, like a holographic image, condensed directly above the spinning top!

And the white Vicious Beast wasn't just virtual; it also let out a terrifying roar.

"Storm Top!"

"I didn't expect Wen Bo to bring out his signature move right from the start!"

"In the Botao Civilization, this is an exclusive ability that only Geniuses can master."

Someone from an unknown Civilization below the stage recognized Wen Bo's ability and exclaimed.

"It seems Wen Bo wants to end the match as quickly as possible."

"This is normal. The Botao Civilization participates every year, and this ability is no longer a secret. One can only say that this Shushu Civilization is too unlucky."

"There's no other way. Not all of the top 10 selected from Arena 3 will necessarily make it into the top 1,000."

"A total of 105 arenas will produce 1,050 top 1,000 contestants. At that time, based on the length of the match, the 50 slowest in terms of elimination time will be eliminated, so everyone is fighting for a quick victory."

Seeing this, everyone below the stage began discussing animatedly.

Chen Du, facing this attack, was even more surprised. It wasn't because the move was so strong, but because of that phantom.

It was the same lifeform Chen Du had seen not long ago, moving in a strange way.

The Glowing White Cat!

What's going on? Could the Glowing White Cat belong to the Botao Civilization?

But the two are too different; one is like a fierce tiger, the other like a spinning top, completely unrelated.

What exactly is going on?

Although a new question arose, Chen Du was happy at this moment. If he were to ask the Prophet about this problem, he naturally wouldn't be able to afford the price, even if he made it into the top three this time, it would be to ask the crystal a question.

Now it seems the Botao Civilization might be able to explain a thing or two to him.

But these are all matters for later; the match has already begun, and Chen Du naturally has to take it seriously.

Facing the high-speed spinning top rushing towards him, Chen Du immediately pulled out his whip without a word!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Chen Du brandished his long whip, lashing out fiercely at the high-speed spinning top in front of him!
