Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God

But in a real battle,

even with the Nirvana Stone that Zhang Yi had given her,

the Sun God Bird Clan within her Divine Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand a second self-destruction!

After all, a second self-destruction meant true death!

Meanwhile, Hong Tianyi scratched his head and muttered under his breath,

"Forget it, forget it."

"It’s fine as long as Brother Zhang is up there. I’ll just sit this one out..."

The expressions on the faces of the other cadets who were team captains, as well as those who had previously fought for a Golden Throne before joining other teams, also shifted.

After weighing the pros and cons, not a single person stepped forward.

Chief Instructor Yang saw all of this but didn’t intervene.

This was also part of the competition for the Grand Captain position.

If they didn’t even dare to step forward and compete for the role of Grand Captain,

then no amount of encouragement from others would help.

After a minute passed with no other cadets coming forward,

now that Tuoba Yu had dissuaded all those who had originally intended to compete,

Chief Instructor Yang didn’t say much more, but spoke directly:

"Then, the only ones who have decided to compete for the position of Grand Captain are the three of you."

Chief Instructor Yang looked at Zhang Yi, Gu Yun, and Tuoba Yu before him.

"How do you wish to decide the winner?"

Hearing Chief Instructor Yang’s question, Gu Yun straightened his clothes, took an elegant step forward, and said,

"The third round of the University Alliance Training Camp, the exchange with the talented cadets from other regions,

is just around the corner."

"If we choose to have a real battle at this time, it will affect the final performance of whoever wins."

"Therefore, we should choose a virtual divine battle."

Gu Yun offered the answer with a faint smile.

"However, a simple virtual divine battle is too monotonous.

Considering the rich rewards for the position of Grand Captain, why don’t we add a little something to the stakes!"

"This will also make it more interesting and exciting to watch. What do you think?"

"Oh? What kind of stakes?"

Chief Instructor Yang was intrigued.

"How about the stakes be the right to choose any Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card?"

Gu Yun’s words were astonishing.

"Each of us will put up one Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card as the stakes.

The winner takes the Divine Domain Cards provided by the losers,

and the losers, naturally, get nothing."

"HISS—!"

A collective gasp came from the crowd below.

"As for us, although we don’t have the privilege of selecting just any Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card,

we can either put up the corresponding number of Points,

or the winner can select the Divine Domain Card they want to buy, and the losers will purchase it for them!"

Hearing that Gu Yun had even provided a solution for the payment,

the cadets below who were originally just preparing to watch a show now felt Gu Yun’s seriousness.

Points in the University Alliance Training Camp were already precious.

The amount of Points needed to pay for a Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card was no small sum!

This amount of Points,

while not enough to cripple a loser, was certainly enough to temporarily hinder their future development.

These stakes were far more ruthless than making the losers pay with a Divine Domain Card they already owned!

Zhang Yi’s heart stirred.

’This move from Gu Yun seems like a great suggestion, but it’s actually completely merciless.’

’From the very start, he’s pushing the competition between the three of us to a point of no return.’

’Forcing all three of us to go all out!’

’It might even affect our original fighting styles.’

’To avoid paying such a high price,’

’will our fighting styles become more conservative?’

’Or more vicious?’

’Who knows.’

"Interesting."

Confident in his own abilities, Zhang Yi wasn’t the least bit afraid of Gu Yun’s proposal.

Instead, he looked at Gu Yun with great interest.

And as he looked, Zhang Yi noticed Gu Yun was staring right back at him and Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu grinned, a wide smile spreading across his face.

"Alright, now those are some real stakes!"

"I’m in!"

"The loser can just consider it spending Points to buy a lesson!"

This was exactly what Tuoba Yu wanted, so naturally, he wouldn’t object.

Among the three present, Gu Yun, as the one who proposed the idea, certainly wouldn’t object either.

That meant the only one who might possibly object now was Zhang Yi himself.

Thus, Tuoba Yu also turned his gaze toward Zhang Yi.

The forty-seven cadets below also turned their gazes toward Zhang Yi.

Although they admitted they weren’t strong enough, or had been dissuaded by Tuoba Yu, that didn’t stop them from enjoying the show.

On the contrary, under these circumstances, they were even more eager to see what choice Zhang Yi—who had frequently topped the leaderboards over the past month of training—would make.

And Zhang Yi, confident in his own strength,

made the choice that would draw the most cheers from the crowd.

"I agree to this proposal!"

’For me, the reward for winning the virtual divine battle has just grown. It’s no longer just the prizes that come with the Grand Captain position.’

’If I win, I’ll get two chances to pick any Five-star Unrivaled Divine Domain Card,’

’not only are the returns much richer,’

’but I’ll also make Gu Yun and Tuoba Yu ’bleed’ a little.’

’Sure, there’s a risk,’

’but it’s a minimal one. It’s worth the gamble!’

So, Zhang Yi made his choice.

Seeing that all three of them had made the same choice and were in agreement, Chief Instructor Yang didn’t waste any time.

"The final selection method for the position of Grand Captain will be a three-way free-for-all virtual divine battle!"

"As for the terrain selection for the virtual divine battle, you will compete for it yourselves."

"I’ll give you ten minutes to prepare. After ten minutes, you will all enter the Divine Domain Connection Pods."

"Once inside the Divine Domain Connection Pods, based on the virtual divine battle timer that will have already started,

you will be given one hour of preparation time."

"After that, the three-way free-for-all will officially begin."

"The winner of the free-for-all will receive the position of Grand Captain and the corresponding stakes.

The losers get nothing!"

Chief Instructor Yang laid out the rules.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Yi, Gu Yun, and Tuoba Yu responded in unison, their fighting spirits soaring to their peak!

Five minutes later, Zhang Yi, Gu Yun, and Tuoba Yu had entered the top-tier Divine Domain Connection Pods provided by the Starfire Training Ground.

The top-tier Divine Domain Connection Pods at the Starfire Training Ground, after receiving a cadet’s consent and scanning their Divine Realm, could 100% simulate all the Talents and combat power of the Clans within.

Even Faith Talents could be detected and simulated.

This ensured that the cadets could unleash 100% of their Clans’ strength.

Meanwhile, the other forty-seven cadets and Chief Instructor Yang could watch the battle in real-time on the floating screens surrounding the Starfire Training Ground.

[Notice: Three cadets detected entering Divine Domain Connection Pods. Preparing to initiate virtual divine battle mode!]

[Notice: Inside the Divine Domain Connection Pods, the system is collecting Clan data from within the cadets’ Divine Realms. Cadets, please disable any obscuring of your Divine Realms.]

[Notice: Collecting data. Generating virtual divine battle...]

[Notice: Clan data collection complete. Generating virtual divine battle terrain. Please select your desired terrain...]

"Icefield terrain!"

Hearing the prompt from the Divine Domain Connection Pod, Tuoba Yu chose the icefield terrain without hesitation.

His Main Clan was the Icefield Mammoth-man, which was best suited for fighting in a world of ice and snow.

"Yadan Landform!"

Gu Yun also made his choice quickly.

His Main Clan was the Stone-man, best suited for fighting in areas with abundant rock.

A Yadan Landform, characterized by complex terrain and high temperatures, often appears in extremely arid regions.

In Zhang Yi’s previous life, the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes were located in this type of landform.

At the same time, the high temperature, abundant rock, lack of water, and arid conditions would also severely restrict Tuoba Yu’s Icefield Mammoth-man Clan and Zhang Yi’s Wood Elf Clan.

Gu Yun naturally wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

At the same moment, Zhang Yi also made his choice: "Tropical rainforest terrain!"

The tropical rainforest is hot and humid, with plenty of trees.

It would hinder a large-bodied Clan like the Stone-man,

and at the same time, it would cause severe climate-related discomfort for the Mammoth-man, which was adapted to the cold of the icefields.

Furthermore, this terrain was ideal for the Wood Elf Clan to perform at their best.

So, Zhang Yi also made this choice that benefited himself at the expense of others.
