Chapter 581: Chapter 289 Abnormal Gap! _1
Half an hour passed quickly.
"The event is about to start, so please be ready. Once the quota is full, no more registrations will be accepted. The event will start in 10 seconds... 9 seconds... 1 second!"
After the sound of the great path finished its countdown, everyone who was already prepared simultaneously clicked the sign-up button in the Heavenly Dao window.
Although the Entertainment Mode already had 1 trillion participants, it still wasn’t enough for the entire Milky Way.
The professionals from the Solar System only managed to secure one spot.
Let alone the Solar System, even a star system like the Yongming Star System, which had several Life Planets, only managed to secure one spot for this Entertainment Mode event.
The competition was certainly fierce.
In contrast, the Competition Mode wasn’t as frantic, as no one wanted to gamble with their lives. The stronger individuals were, the more cautious they tended to be.
When Chen Mo registered for the Fourth-Transition Competition Zone, The Heavenly Path’s Hint popped up the instant he clicked.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Warning! It has been detected that you are a Second-Transition professional. Please choose your competition zone carefully. The Heavenly Dao suggests you compete in the Second-Transition Zone. Do you wish to sign up for the Second-Transition Zone?]
Chen Mo ignored the warning and continued to click the sign-up button for the Fourth-Transition Zone.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Warning! A Second-Transition professional signing up for this dungeon faces a high risk of death. Please confirm again!]
Once Chen Mo confirmed again, his number was displayed.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations! You have successfully signed up for the "Demon Tower Exploration" event’s Competition Mode. Your competition zone is the Fourth-Transition Zone, and your number is 6,659. There are 50 seconds remaining before registration closes. Please wait...]
Only 6,659? It seems those at the Fourth-Transition are much more courageous than those at the Second-Transition. They’re not afraid of death at all.
Chen Mo immediately glanced at the current number of registrants. Even after he signed up, the number was still increasing incrementally.
Perhaps those at the Second-Transition are just starting out,
Chen Mo thought.
Their period of invincibility hasn’t been long enough, so they aren’t as overconfident as those at the Fourth-Transition. The invincible geniuses at the Fourth-Transition have been invincible all the way to this point. Their path has been too smooth, so their mentality has naturally become exceptionally arrogant. They might even all feel they could challenge those at the Fifth-Transition, so they naturally wouldn’t be afraid of others at the Fourth-Transition.
A moment later, 10,000 people had registered. However, the event wouldn’t start until all competition zones were full.
Only when the Fifth-Transition Competition Zone was finally full did The Heavenly Path’s Hint sound again.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: All participant slots for all competition zones have been allocated. In 10 seconds, all qualified professionals will be teleported into the event dungeon.]
Before the countdown began, Chen Mo had already recalled Zhui Yi to its outer incarnation state. Otherwise, Zhui Yi wouldn’t be teleported into the event space with him.
Shortly after the countdown ended, Chen Mo felt a flash of light before his eyes. Just like his previous event participation, he was directly transported into a unique, white, luminous space.
This space was vast, with professionals from other Star Systems scattered all around.
They’re truly a bizarre collection.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have entered the Fourth Competition Zone waiting hall. We look forward to your exceptional performance. If you achieve ultimate victory, your Star System will receive additional benefits. There are 10 minutes remaining until the event officially begins. During this period, you can choose to bet on targets in any major competition zone. This Demon Tower event will last 24 hours and has a total of ten floors.
If the target you bet on is still alive after 24 hours, you will receive a profit equal to your stake.
If your target is still alive after 24 hours and has climbed to the tenth floor, you will receive a profit equal to double your stake.
If your target is still alive after 24 hours, has climbed to the tenth floor, and has completed the ultimate exploration, you will receive a profit equal to ten times your stake.
Only the highest applicable reward from the above will take effect.
Additionally, if the target you bet on has the most points in this competition zone after 24 hours, you will receive an additional profit equal to five times your stake.
This month is the Chaos Moon, so betting limits will be increased. Each person can bet a maximum of ’Personal Level * Number of Transitions * 10’ Eternal Gold Coins!]
Not bad! If the betting limit is increased, does that mean I can bet 1,200 Eternal Gold Coins? If I win the most points and complete the ultimate exploration, the profit is 15 times my stake. That’s an instant, huge profit of tens of thousands of Eternal Gold Coins!
Seeing that The Heavenly Path’s Hint had indeed increased the betting limit, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile.
Such a lucrative opportunity to rake in Gold Coins has presented itself; it would be a shame to pass it up.
As soon as betting began, everyone’s attention shifted towards Chen Mo, the anomaly.
As mentioned before, contestant rankings were listed in different orders depending on their Star Systems, generally from nearest to farthest. Those from the Solar System naturally saw their own Star System’s contestants listed first.
[Competition Mode — Fourth-Transition Competition Zone Contestant List]
[No. 6659, Solar System Contestant — Level 60 (Second-Transition, Professional Star Level: 15th-Star)]
[No. 7596, Yongming Star System Contestant — Level 100 (Fourth-Transition, Professional Star Level: 25th-Star + Pet Star Level: 28th-Star)]
[No. 6965, Sanyang System Contestant — Level 100 (Fourth-Transition, Professional Star Level: 25th-Star + Pet Star Level: 28th-Star)]
...
While everyone else had their Pet Star Levels displayed, Chen Mo was the only one whose was not, making him instantly recognizable.
"Look! One of ours, a Level 60 Second-Transition contestant, has ventured into a Level 100 Fourth-Transition zone! It must be that prodigy again."
"Truly audacious! First, it was Zeroth-Transition against Second-Transition, now it’s Second-Transition against Fourth-Transition. But this time, the power leap between these transitions is fundamentally different."
"Indeed. From Zeroth-Transition to Second-Transition, the power gap isn’t that huge, aside from the difference in Star Levels. But from Second-Transition to Fourth-Transition, there’s the addition of Pet Star Levels at the Third-Transition, and domain abilities at the Fourth-Transition. This power gap isn’t just two tiers; it’s vastly more! Who knows if our exceptional talent from Earth can withstand it."
"Hearing you say that makes me a bit worried. But since he dared to enter the Fourth-Transition Zone, he must have considered the additional abilities gained at the Third and Fourth-Transitions."
"I hope he has. If he entered merely out of arrogance, then it’s going to be tough for him."
"Since he didn’t dare to enter the Fifth-Transition Zone, he must have some awareness of his own strength. He probably isn’t being *too* reckless."
"But he’s clearly being reckless now! Look at the attributes of those competitors, combined with their Pet Star Levels—it’s monstrous! I can’t even imagine how one could win against such opponents."
"Most of those participants have mature SS-level pets. After forming a soul contract, their combined Star Level can reach up to 53 stars! At Level 100, their base allocable attribute points alone can reach 291,500. Combined with other abilities, their attribute values can easily reach into the millions. And when equipped with top-grade gear, their offense and defense values can easily reach tens of millions. A Second-Transition contestant’s attributes can’t possibly be this monstrous. Furthermore, some even have mature SSS-level pets, whose attributes are even more outrageous! No matter how carefully he’s planned, it will still be incredibly difficult to contend with them!"
Although Chen Mo’s strength had been widely recognized, his decision to participate in the Fourth-Transition Zone sparked global discussions. No, not just global, but throughout the entire Milky Way.
After all, following the last event, everyone knew he was that monster from the Solar System in the previous survival competition. Generally speaking, everyone had acknowledged his strength to some extent.
However, even with this understanding, his sudden participation in a life-or-death event filled with top-tier Fourth-Transition competitors still ignited widespread debate.
After all, as someone mentioned earlier, the gap from Second-Transition to Fourth-Transition is not comparable to the one from Zeroth-Transition to Second-Transition. The disparity is massive, almost beyond comparison.
Even top-tier Second-Transition competitors wouldn’t be able to breach the defenses of top-tier Fourth-Transition competitors if they were to enter the Fourth-Transition Zone. They are fundamentally on entirely different levels of strength.
And this only considers the attribute gap, not the unique domain suppression effect inherent to the Fourth-Transition. Under the domain suppression effect of top-tier Fourth-Transition competitors, even elite Second and Third-Transition professionals could be rendered powerless upon entering. Overcoming this chasm is virtually impossible.
It’s often said that everyone below the Fifth-Transition is a mere ant, and this applies equally to top-tier Fourth-Transition competitors. Mediocre Fourth-Transition professionals with subpar pets might be comparable to top-grade Third-Transition professionals. However, top-tier Fourth-Transition competitors, with top-grade attributes, have already reached the pinnacle of power below the Fifth-Transition. To them, lower-transition professionals are also nothing more than ants!
Given such a monstrous disparity, even if the contestant was Chen Mo, not many people were optimistic about his chances.
