"This celebration is essentially a battle of the titans, a gathering of powerful figures. While it's called a celebration and a large number of forces are participating, to be honest, it's just a contest between a few individuals. We're merely here to add to the festivities."
"Should we try joining forces?"
"...It's worth considering, but that might offend those bigwigs."
……
A group of people, in an unknown place, began to discuss something.
"This is Qianling Star."
On the palace of the Radiant Illusion Dragon, a group of people looked down at their surroundings from their elevated position.
The Queen of Slaughter began to narrate: "Thousand Spirits Star is the core planet of the Council and one of the most prosperous places in the entire Reincarnation Great World. You can have a good time here, especially since the Council is holding a celebration here now. The liveliness will definitely be different from before. We will be able to see many sights that are difficult to see on ordinary days."
"There are still a few days before the celebration begins, so feel free to relax in whatever way you like. I personally recommend that you visit more of the place."
Yang Qianqian asked curiously, "Teacher, don't we need to collect information about our opponents or anything like that before the competition?"
Koro-sensei patted Yang Qianqian's shoulder with his tentacles and pointed meaningfully at Li Wei.
Then Yang Qianqian cursed herself in her heart.
With this lunatic here, what's the point of collecting anything?
Okay, I can just sit back and wait to win.
and many more.
Yang Qianqian suddenly remembered something terrifying—
Li Wei this time...
It seems like they're not from our area anymore.

Whether he understood Yang Qianqian's eyes or not, or at least that's what she thought, Li Wei said at this moment, "Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death."
???
Seeing Yang Qianqian's slightly open mouth as if she wanted to say something, Li Wei added, "To make up for my apology, I'll sell you for a good price while you're still hot."
"To show my sincerity, let's split the profits 90/10."
As he spoke, Li Wei said with great concern, "I'll give you nine out of ten."
Yang Qianqian's face immediately darkened.
"Not satisfied? Hey, the price is negotiable. How about I take 9.5 and you take 0.5? Still not enough? Then how about I take 100%? Any more would be too much. You might not even be able to sell them if you didn't live..."
"Li Wei, you're still the same bastard!"
Yang Qianqian stormed off in anger.
……
The Radiant Illusion Dragon quickly landed in an area of the teleportation plaza. When the Radiant Illusion Dragon arrived, many forces voluntarily gave way. Although this was generally considered a shameful act, others would only admire them and think it was only natural. Apart from a few jealous people who would secretly curse them for being unambitious, they would not dare to say it out loud.
No force dares to offend the Samsara Academy so blatantly, especially those forces with more intelligence sources, those who know how terrifying the Samsara Academy is in the "Fall into Samsara" plan.
After the Radiant Illusion Dragon landed, a red carpet stretched out from the palace entrance, and the group slowly descended from it, unhurried and composed. The council soldiers who had been waiting there quickly lined up to greet them. At the head of the group was a rather elderly man wearing white-gold armor and carrying a three-meter-long greatsword on his back; he was the captain of the group.
As Li Wei and his group walked out, the captain immediately drew the greatsword from his back, raised it high to the sky, and announced, "The Third Battalion of the Thousand Spirit Legion of the Thousand Spirit Star District 1 welcomes the guests from the Samsara Academy!"
With the captain leading the way, the squad of over a thousand soldiers immediately joined in shouting, "Welcome to Thousand Spirit Star from the Samsara Academy!"
Then, celestial music began to play in the square, accompanied by women dressed in light gauze dancing gracefully amidst the green hills and flowing water, like dreamlike fluorescent butterflies. A rainbow appeared across the mountains, and then suddenly, a hundred flowers bloomed out of nowhere...
The dazzling and ever-changing light and shadows of this grand welcoming ceremony stunned many onlookers, who marveled at the council's extravagance. The scenes that appeared were not real, but rather an illusion. Although such an illusion did not seem to require many resources, those present felt their minds and bodies cleansed and their thoughts cleared, thus understanding the wondrous nature of this illusion.
"They're quite thoughtful," the Queen of Slaughter said with a strange expression.
Koro-sensei said regretfully, "If all these visual elements were replaced with donuts, how many would there be..."
"Alright, now that we're outside, you should at least put on a proper facade," the Queen of Slaughter instructed. "But if you can't fit in, that's fine too. Our academy doesn't need to cater to others' opinions."
……
Li Wei and his group quickly reached the ground, and then the red carpet automatically rolled back and returned to the palace. The Flowing Light Illusion Dragon lay down on the ground and closed its eyes to rest, as it was tired from the journey.
"Greetings, everyone. I am Hu Haote, the captain of the Third Brigade," the middle-aged man greeted respectfully.
“Hello,” the Queen of Slaughter replied.
"Before you all arrived, our leader had already prepared a place for you to rest. This is the best residence in our first district, and I believe you will all be satisfied."
"Then it'll be hard work."
The Queen of Slaughter nodded and thanked her.
After Li Wei and his group left, a spider tens of meters long, covered in purplish-black material, emerged from the teleportation array. On the spider's head was a symbol resembling a withered tree trunk.
This is a space spider that can move quickly through space. It has sixteen legs, each of which has the ability to anchor itself in the void.
"Your Highness, is there anything I can help you with?" a humanoid figure with an ant-like head asked, bowing slightly.
"I felt the mark of my uncle's hatred here!"
The man called the prince's eyes flashed with intense hatred. "The person who killed my uncle is nearby!"
"What!? Could it be that the force that killed His Majesty the Insect King was also one of the forces participating in this celebration!?"
"If there are no surprises, it definitely is. I can sense that the person just left not long ago!"
The Zerg prince said with a gloomy face, "Dare to touch my Zerg people, kill my uncle, and cause me to be scolded by my father. I will definitely avenge this."
"The Zerg will never perish, they will live on forever," the ant-headed man declared resolutely.
"But there's no rush. The other party probably won't be able to detect this mark, or even if they do, there's nothing they can do. This is a unique talent of our Zerg royal bloodline, unrelated to the physical body, soul, or spirit. With the celebration in progress, we shouldn't miss this important event. Father takes this celebration very seriously. Although we probably won't get the Tyrant's inheritance, we still need to perform well and show our clan's glory."
"As expected of His Highness the Prince, he is so insightful and far-sighted. With His Highness the Prince, our clan will soon reach the pinnacle of the world."
"Nonsense, all my brothers and sisters in the royal family are useless. The prosperity of the next generation depends entirely on me."
“Although Uncle’s King’s Plan has not yet come to fruition, our ‘Plague Operation’ has been progressing very smoothly,” the prince said with a hint of ferocity. “Once we find our enemy, we can use his faction as a pretext to strike, and take advantage of the momentum generated by the celebration to make our Zerg’s reputation resound throughout the world.”
"Long live Your Highness."
……
"Speaking of which, Master, did you feel anything?" Qi Xi suddenly asked as they walked with a group of soldiers.
"Hmm, it seems something fun is about to happen." Li Wei stroked his chin and said, "I wonder what it is."
"Forget it, I'll find out when the time comes. This celebration is getting more and more interesting."
Qi Xi chuckled and said, "Among the sandbags I've seen along the way, there are quite a few with decent aptitude."
"I heard there are quite a few organizations attending the celebration?"
"Yes, the representatives are all the most outstanding elites."
"By the way, Master, you probably won't be going out these next few days, right?" Qi Xi said.
Li Wei nodded, "Just stay in the room and wait quietly for a few days. If you see too many people, your expectations will be even lower."
With a major battle looming, what Li Wei dislikes most is knowing the opponent's information, as it diminishes the thrill of the unknown.

Chapter 350, Twelfth in Order, Opening of the Ceremony
Several days passed quickly. During these days, many more forces flocked to Thousand Spirit Star. Although there weren't many people docking at the teleportation plaza in the first district, the number was still enormous when you included people from other districts. The Samsara Great World was vast and boundless, and this time, there were thousands of forces that received invitations from the council.
"What a grand celebration."
At this moment, Qi Xi and Li Wei were on the top of a palace, looking down at the scenery below, which was crowded with people.
"Yes, it's almost time, isn't it?" Li Wei said.
"We still have more than an hour left, shall we enjoy the breeze a bit more?" Qi Xi said with a smile, "It's rare to have such a leisurely time."
"Okay, there's no rush anyway."
……
"Everyone, please follow me."
The captain who had greeted Li Wei and his group earlier was now respectfully following the group at the palace gate. He had been waiting there for a long time, and after everyone came out, he began to lead the way. Accompanying him were about a hundred soldiers. These soldiers might not necessarily play a protective role, but in terms of appearance, they showed great sincerity.
Inside this palace, there were also people from the Main God Space. The reason they were able to stay in this top-level reception area was because of the academy. What made the Killing Queen and others who were familiar with Li Wei both amused and exasperated was that, in the past few days, those guys from the Main God Space had been trying to curry favor with the other students of the academy, but had intentionally or unintentionally ignored Li Wei to some extent.
So over the past few days, the God's agent would occasionally feel the strange gazes of the Queen of Slaughter and Koro-sensei, leaving him completely bewildered. He couldn't figure out their intentions no matter how hard he tried. At least he knew they weren't the type to dislike him, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stay here with him.
"Why do I feel like their space is going to suffer?" one day, the Killer Girl said to Koro-sensei.
"I feel the same way. It's really strange. They clearly have powerful gods over there, so why do I have a feeling that they're going further and further down the path of self-destruction?"
"Yes...it's really strange..."
……
Led by the captain, the group arrived at a stone gate about thirty meters high and more than ten meters wide next to the teleportation plaza. There stood a spacious dragon carriage, pulled by nine dragons, each four or five meters long. Of course, these dragons were far inferior to the Flowing Light Illusion Dragons, but the scale of the nine dragons pulling the carriage represented the Council's highest level of hospitality to its guests.
Originally, the Nine Dragons Carriage was intended to stop in front of the palace where Li Wei and the others lived, but the Queen of Slaughter and others expressed their wish to walk instead of rushing. The captain readily agreed and, along the way, enthusiastically introduced the local specialties and scenery of Thousand Spirits Star to everyone.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. We are grateful for the light you have provided along the way."
Before everyone boarded the bus and set off, the Queen of Slaughter said politely.
The captain was flattered and laughed repeatedly, "No, no, you're too kind, teacher. It's our honor to host you all. I'm sure not only me, but these kids will also brag to all our colleagues and friends about this. We can brag about it for the rest of our lives."
The Queen of Slaughter smiled, "It's our good fortune to be received by you."
After exchanging pleasantries, the group got into the car. This Kowloon didn't need anyone to drive it; it already had a clear idea of the route it should take, demonstrating a certain level of intelligence.
The nine dragons pulled the carriage, which flew quickly through the stone gate. After that, everyone saw a new world. Through the carriage window, they could see that the other side of the gate was an island that was built in the sky. In the center of this island was a garden, full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants that did not exist on Earth. Small, palm-sized, glowing elves were moving around in it. There were also small bridges and a circle around the island.
After getting out of the car, the group sat down on some slime-like objects in the courtyard. These were seats belonging to a relatively rare race in the world of reincarnation, and they were popular among the upper class. The seats could change shape and hardness according to the thoughts of the intelligent beings sitting on them.
There are about a hundred floating islands in this sky at a similar height to Li Wei's island, each with a similar design. One level down, there are about five hundred floating islands at the same height, and then another three thousand... This series of layers resembles a very unusual tower, except that each level of this tower is composed of a different number of sky islands.
However, the island where Li Wei and his group were located was not the highest. Above them was a floating island about ten times their size—the official location of the council.
About half an hour later, people began to arrive at all the floating islands one after another. Then, after another ten minutes, the floating island above Li Wei and the others suddenly had a magic circle that kept rising and growing larger. After rising to a height of several hundred meters, the magic circle suddenly burst out with a dazzling light in the direction of the island.
Under the bright light, various thrones descended from there: some were skull thrones, some were entwined with thorns, some were woven with vines... Ten, twenty, and more than a hundred thrones formed a circle. In the center, a purple throne, half again as large as the others, fell and floated more than a hundred meters above the ground.
Seated on the throne was a young man dressed in what resembled a priest's robe, except that he had white hair that reached past his shoulders and held a small gavel in his right hand, just like the ones worn by judges in court.
The young man tapped the handrail lightly with a wooden mallet, yet the sound of this slight movement echoed throughout the entire Thousand Spirits Star.
“I am one of the seventy-two members of parliament, the twelfth in line, the member of parliament who is called Thunder Godno.”
"Welcome representatives from all factions in the Samsara World to this celebration hosted by the Council. On behalf of the Council, I extend my sincerest greetings to you all."
As he spoke, Hunter Shenno rose from his throne and bowed slightly. This gesture moved many people. The reason was simple: among those present, even considering the forces behind them, there were not many who could accept such a bow from the councilor.
The twelfth-ranked councilor, Hunter Thunder Shenno, is also a super strong person ranked in the top 100 on the Three Thousand Gods Ranking. Some people say that this is because he has not made a move for many years. Otherwise, given the years he has been famous, his many years of seclusion and cultivation would have placed him at least 20 places higher in terms of actual strength.
"I won't say anything more, so as not to waste any more time."
"I hereby declare the celebration officially open," said Hunter Shenno calmly.
"All representatives, please assemble on the central island. The first round of competition will begin in half an hour."
