Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 293 The National Destiny Begins

At this moment, the entire sky was shrouded by a strange power, and space and time lost their meaning in the face of this power.

Above the sky, a golden light curtain slowly rose, radiating an indescribable pressure.

It covers almost the entire globe.

They all knew that the game of national destiny was about to begin.

"The game of national destiny for all nations is about to begin."

"This time, the mortality rate is 75%."

"Each country randomly selects six participants; the current scenario is the Mystic Forest instance."

"Scenario Mission: Annihilate alien beasts to earn points; kill other trial participants to forcibly seize half of their points."

"If all six trial participants of a nation die, that nation will be punished."

"Punishment is not limited to natural disasters, man-made calamities, or economic losses; anything is possible."

"Participating countries this time: China, Japan, the United States, India, South Korea..."

"Note that if the Dragon Kingdom fails three times, the nation will be wiped out."

!!!

This single sentence plunged the Dragon Kingdom into panic once again.

After all, as usual, over a hundred people in their Dragon Kingdom had died, and some of their territory had been occupied.

Because the selection is completely random, the strongest person in the country will be selected on a certain day.

Inside the council chamber of the Dragon Kingdom.

The people sitting here are all important figures.

Leading the group was the Grand Marshal of the Dragon Kingdom, the strongest man in the country, named Long Xiaotian. Although he was over two hundred years old, he looked like he was twenty.

"A new battlefield for the nation's destiny is about to begin. I really hope that our country can find a powerful expert with exceptional strength," a middle-aged man said with a worried expression, letting out a long sigh.

"Who knows what dangers we'll encounter this time? Last time, that centaur-like monster would have lost again if it weren't for the help of the Russian Bear Kingdom," someone next to him chimed in with lingering fear.

"If we lose three more games, our Dragon Kingdom will be completely wiped out."

"Marshal, is it possible for us to win this round?"

Long Xiaotian pondered for a moment, and to be honest, he wasn't sure either.

Their level of skill here is similar to that of martial artists in novels.

First, there are martial artists, from the first rank to the sixth rank, within the martial artist realm.

The seventh rank is a grandmaster, but only a minor grandmaster.

The eighth grade is also known as the Golden Body Realm.

The ninth rank is the Grandmaster.

The tenth rank is the pinnacle of martial arts.

He then entered the ranks of King Martial. He was just one step away from becoming a false god.

In general, martial artists progress from martial artist to grandmaster, martial king, venerable ruler, martial venerable, half-saint, martial saint, half-emperor, quasi-emperor, martial emperor, false god, and martial god.

On the vast and ever-changing continent of Azure Star, the Sakura Kingdom and the White Eagle Kingdom have risen to prominence, each firmly establishing themselves as the leading powers. Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom, having long been at a disadvantage in their past struggles, has consistently remained at the bottom. More importantly, the Sakura Kingdom's covetousness of the Dragon Kingdom is long-standing; its ambition, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, has never ceased, and the struggle between the two has lasted for over a century.

Xia Die returned to her bedroom, picked up the unlocked cell phone on the table, and swiped her fingertips across the screen. News reports flooded her eyes like a tide.

Without exception, all these broadcasts revolved around this crucial battle for the nation's survival. In the underground forums below the phone screens, people were enthusiastically discussing various possible outcomes.

The butterfly quickly scanned the area and saw that most people were either filled with fear and sorrow or were saying encouraging words to cheer on the upcoming challenges; only a few people with overseas IP addresses were making sarcastic remarks on the side.

The "battlefield of national destiny" is like a bizarre and unpredictable "miracle" that descended upon the blue planet without warning.

In the previous six battles of national destiny, the start time followed a fixed pattern, and each country was able to prepare step by step.

Moreover, it's not just the nations of Azure Star that are involved; other planets are also participating.

“Every time I hear that voice, I really want to rush up and beat it up!” A man in a crisp military uniform clenched his fists and growled angrily. His eyes burned with fury. “But what it said is the truth. In the face of forces beyond human comprehension, such as those on the battlefield of national destiny, we are indeed as insignificant as ants.”

Another man, also dressed in military uniform, sighed helplessly, his eyes filled with lingering weariness and powerlessness—the last person to participate in the national battle was the other party's son, who, although now disabled, has thankfully survived.

"I just hope we can find a few good prospects in this national battle. I don't expect them to pass the test; I just hope they come back alive," said Long Xiaotian, the leader, in a deep voice.

"The participants for the National Destiny Battlefield will be drawn soon. The battlefield will officially open in sixty minutes. Please be prepared."

The sounds of the national battle echoed in every corner of the city, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

At the same time, a voice suddenly rang in Xia Die's mind: "You have been selected as a participant in the Dragon Kingdom's national destiny battlefield." The voice was cold and mechanical, yet it exuded an air of authority.

"it's me?"

"Hello everyone, I am Major General Tianlang." The man on the right, also dressed in military uniform, spoke with a smile. The smile lines at the corners of his eyes revealed the composure of someone who had been through many battles. His eyes shone like cold stars that had been tempered with light, revealing both the sharpness of a soldier and a touch of friendliness.

【Greetings, Generals! Your presence is absolutely commanding!】

[It's Major General Sirius! Your analysis of the battle last time was amazing!]

If you come in the depths of winter, bring a sprig of plum blossom~ (suddenly starts singing)

[Help! Why do I feel like there are two little suns in front of me? My Samsung phone screen is reflecting light, haha!]

The comments in the live stream chat exploded like fireworks, with colorful text scrolling rapidly across the screen.

Some greeted people seriously, some made jokes and jokes, and some shared obscure lyrics, which amused Generals Leng Feng and Tianlang, who exchanged a glance and unconsciously raised the corners of their mouths.

The faint scar on Leng Feng's face softened considerably with his smile, and the fine lines at the corners of Tian Lang's eyes deepened, clearly amused by these lively remarks.

Although they have spent most of their lives in the military, dealing mainly with serious orders and rigorous tactics, they are not entirely ignorant of the latest internet memes.

Just like the popular online jokes a while ago, which turned the characteristics of the two countries' generals into witty remarks, they couldn't help but laugh for a long time when they overheard a young guard mentioning it.

"It seems that this generation of netizens has a full-fledged sense of humor; they are all hidden comedians."

Xiaomi looked at the imaginative comments in the live chat and laughed until her eyes curved into crescents. Even her words were filled with a lighthearted smile. "But you can also see that although everyone is nervous, they are all putting in their own way to prepare for this battle for the nation's destiny."

As she spoke, she playfully winked at the camera, instantly drawing a barrage of comments like "Sister Mi is so cute."
