Chapter 763: A Challenge for the Lady in the Plain Skirt and the Swordsman in Blue!

A civilization challenge meant that two civilizations would determine the winner between them with just one fight.

It was a simple and straightforward of deciding the victors and loswers!

Hearing City Governor Zhao's words, Ming Jun went silent. After a while, Ming Jun replied, "It's feasible."

"The challenge will make it clear to everyone whether they're full divinity experts or not," City Governor Zhao said with a nod. "If they don't dare to respond to the challenge, then it means that they don't have any full divinity experts. By then, the Guanxuan Civilization can be destroyed with just a flick of your wrist. But if they come..."

City Governor Zhao glanced at Ming Jun.

Ming Jun smiled and said, "It means otherwise, but even if they have two full divinity experts, our Forest Civilization will not be afraid of them."

City Governor Zhao remained silent. The Forest Civilization was stronger than he had imagined.

Yu Wenzhi standing nearby chimed in, "Shall I issue the challenge?"

Ming Jun shook his head and replied, "I need to report this first."

Yu Wenzhi nodded slightly. "Understood."

"Go ahead and help our people settle down," Ming Jun said, "Do not seek out the Guanxuan Civilization before my return."

With that, he turned around and disappeared.

More and more people were walking out of the light gate, and they were all from the Forest Civilization.

Yu Wenzhi looked around. The spacetime had stabilized, but the entire Shenxu Forest had become a desert. Moreover, there were over a hundred corpses on the ground. The corpses belonged to the weaker cultivators among those who had first emerged from the teleportation array.

The Forest Civilization experts wore grim expressions upon seeing the corpses.

Upon returning to Guanxuan City with Shen Qi, Ye Guan went into the world inside the tiny pagoda.

The recent battle had left him with considerable injuries that required healing.

Moreover, the battle had also given him many insights, and he needed to assimilate them.

Shen Qi was somewhat worried. She had just received news that the Forest Civilization had finally returned.

In other words, a battle between the two civilizations was imminent. She was feeling uncertain whether she had made the right choice or not, but she was way past the point of no return.

Shen Qi followed Ye Guan into the world inside the tiny pagoda, and she was instantly in awe of the mysterious spacetime around her.

She had the urge to study it, but the mysterious spacetime was repelling her divine sense. She couldn't permeate the space with her divine sense, no matter how hard she tried to do so. In the end, she decided to seek Ye Guan. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Ye Guan was sitting on a boulder by the sea, and his injuries were healing rapidly.

After a while, Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes, meeting Shen Qi's gaze.

Shen Qi was staring at him as well.

Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Miss Shen Qi, what is it?"

Shen Qi smiled as well. "You have truly surprised me. I didn't expect that you'd be able to fight evenly with a cultivator at ninety percent divinity."

"But I'm still too weak," Ye Guan said, shaking his head. He knew very well that if the battle had continued, he would have had to completely awaken his Mad Demon Bloodline just to win. His cultivation base was truly too low compared to a true ninety percent divinity cultivator. Of course, the gap in combat strength wasn't that large.

"What you've done was already very impressive," Shen Qi said.

Ye Guan revealed a meaningful smile just then. "Miss Shen Qi, I'm pretty curious about you."

All of a sudden, Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "Miss Shen Qi, you mentioned that the Gui Zhi Civilization was destroyed by a universe tribulation."

"That's right." Shen Qi nodded.

Ye Guan's voice became solemn as he asked, "Doesn't that mean that there was an Evil Dao?"

Shen Qi replied, "Of course, there was an Evil Dao."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Where did the Evil Dao go, then?"

"I know the answer to that question," Shen Qi smiled and said, "I was curious about that as well, so I investigated it. Apparently, the good dominates the universe at the beginning of its life, but evil will appear at the end of its natural cycle. When it is finally destroyed. The evil will reach a terrifying level of strength, surpassing even beings with a hundred percent accumulated divinity."

"Surpassing even a full divinity expert?" Ye Guan asked in a grim voice.

"Yes, they trigger a universe tribulation, annihilating a myriad of beings. Afterward, they'll become even stronger as they dominate the good. In other words, the good is strong in the early stages of a universe, while the evil is stronger at the latter end of a universe's life cycle."

Ye Guan asked, "What happens after a universe tribulation?"

"The evil disappears to join a mysterious organization," Shen Qi replied, sounding uncertain as she added, "I can't say for sure. I only know that after the universe tribulation of a large universe, mysterious individuals will arrive to take the Evil Dao of that tribulation away."

"A mysterious organization?" Ye Guan was intrigued.

"That's right, but I'm really not sure," Shen Qi said, "Even the Gui Zhi Civilization's records about it are vague. I think they weren't sure as well."

Ye Guan was silent.

Shen Qi stared at Ye Guan and muttered, "The vast expanse is truly full of mystery..."

Ye Guan nodded in agreement. He realized the vastness of the vast expanse upon discovering other civilizations.

Just then, Ye Guan recalled something and asked, "Miss Shen Qi, you said that you're the heiress to the Gui Zhi Civilization. Did I hear you right?"

Shen Qi nodded.

Ye Guan asked, "Are you at ninety or a hundred percent divinity?"

Shen Qi replied, "Peak ninety percent."

A peak ninety percent expert?! Ye Guan shook his head and smiled wryly. "Back then, my aunt wanted me to save you..."

"Well, she had no idea," Shen Qi replied, "I had two goals at the time. First of all, I wanted to meet you, as my father had chosen you. Secondly and lastly, I wanted to look at his journal because I wanted to see how far my father had gone."

"And you've finally achieved your goals, is that right?" Ye Guan asked.

Shen Qi nodded slightly. "He was stronger than I thought. In terms of strength, my mother wasn't even worthy to tie his shoes."

Ye Guan looked at Shen Qi and muttered, "You and your mother..."

Shen Qi smiled and shook her head. "We don't have a great relationship, as she's focused only on cultivating. She doesn’t care about anything else at all."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. He was about to speak, but he frowned and took Shen Qi out of the tiny pagoda.

Outside, Ye Guan looked up at the distant starry sky.

A middle-aged man in white was above them.

The middle-aged man in white was none other than Ming Jun.

Ming Jun looked down at Ye Guan and said, "Ye Guan, the leader of our civilization will come here in three days to challenge the lady in the plain skirt and the blue-robed swordsman. We'll settle everything in one battle."

The Forest Civilization had come to issue a civilization challenge!
