I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 357 A Different Kind of Match
With a loud bang in the sky, the contestants made their dazzling entrance.

The sky above the blue planet seemed to be enveloped by a spherical space.

The sky was divided into countless pieces, and it seemed as if there were figures moving around inside them.

This change lasted for about half an hour before stabilizing.

At an underground base in China, an emergency response team is synchronizing information globally.

A short-haired woman in a green military uniform, her face grave, reported: "Report! According to the information gathered, the scenery over each country is different."

The skies above China showcase the Chinese sports arena, while the skies above Japan showcase the Japanese sports arena.

People can see what their country's athletes are doing simply by looking up.

The top scientists in the conference room were visibly shaken: "They can actually broadcast it live in real time."

Moreover, land only accounts for 30% of the Earth's surface area, while the remaining 70% is ocean. Today, the sky above the ocean is like a dense mosaic, full of tiny, colorful spots of light.

The crew members on the ocean transport ship at sea rushed to the deck, gazing at the blue sky and the ocean, feeling as if they were in a dream.

As we all know, the ocean appears blue because of Rayleigh scattering, where water molecules scatter blue light more strongly.

When the sky is no longer blue, but a riot of colors, the entire ocean transforms, becoming a flowing palette of hues.

In some areas, the waves are dyed crimson and smoky purple.

Not far away, golden and green light spots floated on the crystal-clear sea. Below the yellow light spots, orange-yellow light snakes swam in the deep blue water.

Looking to the other side, starlight danced in the deep purple waves, like an overturned galaxy falling into an abyss, each wave shrouded in a different neon light.

“The world has changed, the world has really changed,” a crew member murmured.

Only at this moment did they truly realize that an alien civilization was really coming, and that humanity on Earth was at a critical juncture of life and death.

This scene was captured on video and posted online, causing a sensation.

An external website has created a special section called "Civilization Trial Grounds," which is full of aerial videos from various regions and discussions among netizens from different countries.

This area received an overwhelming amount of traffic as soon as it was launched.

People can look up and see what their own country is like, but they are more curious about what other countries are like.

The stunning view above the ocean is like stepping into another world. In less than half an hour, the video garnered 30 million likes.

No one knew what those colorful spots in the sky above the ocean were, and they were captivated by the dreamlike beauty. Others, like weasels in a melon patch, scurried online, searching for information about other countries.

However, the most popular account is still one called "Your dad is still your dad".

Rumors circulate online that he has connections to the Chinese government, and these rumors are numerous and credible. As soon as he starts broadcasting, the number of viewers skyrockets, jumping to the millions.

"Hey fellow countrymen around the world, I know what you're all concerned about. Without further ado, let's step into today's sub-match arena."

The screen was divided into five sections: China, the United States, Russia, the European Union, and a rotating blue star, which was probably taken from a space station.

The voice-over of "Dad is still your dad" plays: "Each country is selected 10 participants, according to reliable sources. The Civilization Trial Field does not randomly select participants, but rather selects participants from various population groups according to a ratio of 1234."

"1 represents top-tier humans, 2 represents advanced humans, 3 represents ordinary humans, and 4 represents bottom-tier humans. As for this classification, our initial speculation is that it is related to a person's mental strength, or level of awakening, or physical potential. The specifics are still pending."

"A netizen just asked what the colorful spots of light over the ocean are. We don't know either, and we are still observing closely. I will let everyone know in the live broadcast room as soon as there is any news."

"Let me see, the most liked comment is asking, 'Is it still possible to obtain Chinese citizenship?' I regret to inform you that China has suspended its citizenship application process for foreigners. Newborn Chinese babies are not affected in the household registration process."

"Alright, let's turn our attention to the qualifying arena. As you can see, the arena is becoming clearer. There are now 1930 participants, all in a huge oval stadium."

"The situation in China is not good. Among these 10 people, there are 5 elderly people, 1 teenager, 1 adult woman, and 3 kindergarten children."

The Chinese public, who had also clearly seen the contestants' information, were suddenly faced with a series of blackouts.

Where's the 1234 we were promised?
Which one is 1? Which one is 2? Which one is 3?!
With a population of over 10 billion in China, is it really necessary to pick out 10 elderly, weak, women and children?
Aliens, step forward and tell the truth! Are you deliberately targeting China?!
Many foreign netizens gloated.

Japanese netizens practically had "watching the show" written all over their foreheads: "I've said it before, after the Battle of Yamen, there was no more China. China was on high alert, doing all sorts of things, making a big fuss, and now look what happened—they couldn't even get past the qualifying rounds, losing face in front of the whole world."

South Korea (Korea) scoffs: [Those foreigners who switched to Chinese citizenship, aren't they kicking themselves? Over a billion people, and they can't even muster a decent 10-man squad? It's utterly shameful.]

American netizens, on the other hand, were overjoyed: "Luckily, we have a strong foundation. Of the 10 people we selected, three are Navy SEALs and two are Wall Street elites! With five of them on the team, we're in luck!"

The frog was so angry it wanted to smash its computer: [Why don't we have sovereignty? Why are we tied to China? This isn't fair!]

Chinese netizens, seeing some traitors jumping out, launched a strong counterattack: "You can leave, but leave the land behind. Even extraterrestrial civilizations recognize the land beneath your feet as an inseparable part of our country. Stop showing off your intelligence here."

Seeing the chaotic comments section, [Dad is still your dad] quickly stepped in to calm things down: "Don't argue, don't panic. It seems that the contestants from the US and EU, and the Russians, are all young and strong, and they have a good chance of winning. But as everyone in China knows, there are always hidden masters among the common people. Maybe there's a hidden master among these 10 contestants? We must not give up until the very last moment."

"Come on, let's see which countries have athletes from."

The avatars and information of 1930 contestants filled the screen, scrolling up round after round.

There were men and women, old and young, elites and ordinary workers, and even many men dressed in animal skins with blank expressions!

When these people gathered in the same venue, they were surprised to discover how unevenly developed and how vast the gap was between the various countries on Earth.

For a moment, many insightful people fell silent.

Will these people who haven't received basic education lower the overall level of civility? Will they negatively impact the qualifying rounds?

They were all very uncertain.
