In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

The original sites of the various experimental zones have been emptied one after another, making it hard to imagine that these places were once densely packed with 10,000 people.

The rankings are constantly changing, and each time the bottom-ranked experimental zone takes the initiative to launch a challenge.

Nobody wants to die.

The All-Heavens Arena Tournament will only come to an end when a certain experimental zone has used up all ten chances and is still at the bottom of the rankings.

The eighth experimental zone has eight more chances. These eight chances are very precious. You must keep an eye on those with high scores and fight them. Winning once will allow you to inherit a lot of points.

However, those who hold multiple points have won many times and are inherently very strong. The choice of whom to challenge and the timing of the challenge are extremely important.

Wang Defa: "Jiang Shen, what's the situation in District 1 and Districts 33 and 34? Can we still get in touch with them?"

Jiang Qingyue paused for a moment: "...Speak from above, I can hear you, don't go into my ear canal."

She swore she really didn't mind Old Wang, but she just couldn't get used to the rustling sound of insects crawling in her ear canal.

"I was just thinking we could have a private chat."

"The foreigners don't understand human language."

"That's not necessarily true." Wang Defa, true to his reputation as a staunch advocate of the "Sneaky Way," said Wang Defa: "If the leader of District 34 can produce a translator, then other people might also have translators."

"That makes sense." Jiang Qingyue wholeheartedly agreed: "It seems I've gotten a bit cocky after winning a few matches."

"It's alright," Wang Defa said generously. "Considering we're kindred spirits, I'll keep reminding you."

"But Jiang Shen, the situation is really bad right now. Our three points will definitely put us at the bottom. Which district should we keep an eye on? Or should we contact our old friends in Districts 1, 33, and 34?"

"No rush," Jiang Qingyue said.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Jiang Qingyue: "Our advantage will only grow as we go on. As long as we still have eight chances left, we have the right to take the initiative to challenge at any time. It's okay if we're at the bottom for now."

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, she lowered her head and started writing and drawing in her notebook.

As the competition progressed, her anxiety grew stronger.

Right now, the most important thing is to capture that fleeting, elusive feeling.

As for points, the advantage for the eighth district is indeed greater as the game progresses, because they have Plant Doctor Essence, which allows them to maintain peak condition at any time.

The situation is different in other areas. Every battle is exhausting and results in injuries, and the condition will only get worse as the battle progresses.

In the early rounds, you'll use more and more life-saving potions and special items to stay alive, and by the last few rounds, you'll basically be broke.

At that time, a group of weaklings who had emptied their pockets still had a lot of points in their hands, and it was time for the eighth district to reap the rewards.

But she always felt that things wouldn't be that simple.

In order to make the most of every opportunity, many experimental zones no longer consider the difference in strength, but instead focus on challenges with more points, adopting a "what the heck" approach, either winning to gain a large number of points or dying.

It's heartbreaking that even their opponents didn't utter a word of mockery. If they were in their shoes, they would have done the same. This is the tragedy of the weak.

If you don't challenge others, others will challenge you.

Because winning a game means at least one point.

Choosing to take the initiative to challenge someone means that if two races of similar strength are fighting for their lives, or if you fight someone stronger, it's also a life-or-death struggle. If you have special items, especially one-time special items, it's definitely more worthwhile to fight those who are powerful and have a lot of points.

The experimental zone with the most points has reached 17 points, while the third point in the eighth zone has been gradually replaced, placing it last among several weaker experimental zones.

Everyone remained quite calm, some wiping their knives, others warming up.

Too many people died, and the arena was filled with a bloody smell that just wouldn't go away.

The large robot in Experiment Zone 34 stood up, mumbled a string of words, and then Jiang Qingyue watched as the translator on her lap flew towards Zone 34 as if summoned.

This……

An eerie silence fell over District 8.

Chen Sanyang asked cautiously, "I remember in the last round of the first game, didn't this big robot ask Jiang Shen for her translator? Jiang Shen didn't give it to her, so she gave up. I thought she couldn't win against Jiang Shen, but it turns out she could take it back remotely."

Liu Yuyao glared at him, thinking, "What nonsense is this little brat spouting?"

Everyone, try not to laugh.

Wang Defa remarked, "So, this big robot is quite polite. Jiang Shen wouldn't give it such a valuable item, so it's just been keeping it here. But what does this guy want to do with it now?"

They found out very quickly.

The leader of District 34 spoke into the translator: "Gentlemen, we are all pitiful people caught in a cycle of suffering. Dying like this is not a solution."

"We can no longer follow the rules, otherwise, in the end, there may not even be ten races left to survive."

The surviving members of the experimental group below the stage all wore somber expressions; how could they not know the truth?

The leader of District 34 then said, "I think we should be ruthless and choose a race to be at the bottom."

Countless people's expressions changed drastically.

Currently, the last three zones on the points leaderboard are Zone 8, Zone 29, and Zone 70.

If we had to choose one race to be at the bottom, it would definitely be one of these three regions.

The Eighth District is too powerful; it couldn't possibly be them.

In an instant, everyone who had figured it out looked towards District 29 and District 70.

The leader of District 34 continued, "It seems you've thought of that too. What I mean is, District 8 will challenge District 29 and take their points."

"At that time, the points for District 8 will become seven, tying for second to last place with the other districts."

"District 70 only has three points, which means they're at the bottom. If District 70 gives up their remaining challenge opportunities, our competition will be over."

Chen Sanyang's mouth dropped open: "Jiang Shen, this giant robot thinks the same way you do! Forcing the two weakest districts to voluntarily be at the bottom."

Jiang Qingyue didn't speak. She looked at District 29 and District 70 with pity. These two experimental districts were of average strength, and they had both seized the opportunity to participate twice before and won.

However, the other experimental areas were too strong, and the three scores were still at the bottom.

Unlike the eighth district, where the bottom-ranked players are looking for the best opportunity to maximize their profits.

The reason their two experimental zones ranked last was purely because they weren't strong enough.

The experimental zones where they had a chance of winning were almost all in the early stages. The weak ones are all dead now, and they can't take on any of the remaining ones.

Perhaps they are also waiting, waiting for a powerful experimental zone with a high score to be severely injured before they come out to pick up the scraps.

Unfortunately, no one gave them that chance.

The leader of District 29 yelled at the top of his lungs, trying to get his voice into the translator and spread it to the other districts: "What if we disagree?"

The leader of District 34 was not surprised: "We are all pawns. I did not want to force you. But now there is no other way. I will tell you the truth: you have to agree whether you like it or not."

"If your 29th and 70th districts agree, then one of them will be killed by the 8th district, and the other, being ranked at the bottom, will be wiped out."

"But we can promise that if the opportunity arises in the future, we will choose to revive your entire experimental zone."

"If you disagree, I challenge you now. The next match will be between District 8 and District 70, and you will both die."

The entire room fell silent.

The worst are those in the second-to-last tier, because if those two tiers disagree and are challenged to death, then all those in the second tier will become last.

We have to keep fighting.

The leader of District 29, his eyes red with tears, said, "We risked the lives of our entire district to save so many of your people, and all we got in return was a promise?"

"The Supreme God is so ruthless; who knows if the trials will be even harder in the future? You yourselves might not even survive, so how can you guarantee that this promise will be fulfilled?"

"I can't guarantee that," said the leader of District 34, "but you have no other choice."

"You can choose to disagree, choose to let the second-tier team continue to die, but their deaths won't benefit either of your experimental zones, will they?"

"..."

The leaders of District 29 and District 70 closed their eyes in anguish.

They knew all too well that it wasn't just them who would die, but also countless members of their tribe waiting for them to return home.

And the billions of living beings on the planet.

Their lips trembled and tears streamed down their faces, but they couldn't bring themselves to say "agree" or "disagree."

Seeing this, the leaders of the second-to-last experimental zones shouted at the top of their lungs, "I also promise! Our clan values ​​filial piety above all else. I swear in the name of my parents that as long as one person from our experimental zone is alive, if we ever find a way to resurrect, we will definitely resurrect both of your experimental zones!"

"Me too."

"Me too!"

"..."

One after another, the leaders of the experimental zones spoke up, all the way up to the top-tier powerhouses who held more than a dozen points and still had a chance to appear.

The leader of District 33 spoke: "I can take a drop of your blood. Even if I can't resurrect you, I can use that drop of blood to create a race on my own planet with the same genes as you."

The leader of the First Experimental Zone also spoke up: "As you all know, the official force of our First Zone, the Eternal Order Star Court Enforcement Division, is in the top ten of the official overall rankings, and its strength is quite formidable."

"There is a time machine inside the Star Court. If you are willing to make sacrifices, I can submit an application to the Lord of the Star Court and request her to use the time machine to revive you if possible."

There really is a time machine. It seems Wang Dawei wasn't lying. Jiang Qingyue felt much relieved. Although she couldn't go to the First District for the time being, getting a definite answer meant there was hope.

With so many powerful figures speaking up, as one of the top experts present, shouldn't I also make a statement?

"Ahem." Jiang Qingyue cleared her throat. "Me too, I promise..."

"Shut up!" the leader of District 70 shouted in despair, his voice so loud that it completely drowned out Jiang Qingyue's.

Jiang Qingyue explained, "I just wanted to say..."

"Shut up! Shut your mouth and don't say a word!"

"..." Jiang Qingyue touched the tip of her nose guiltily. Had her reputation really gotten this bad?

She was, after all, one of the top combatants present, and the other party would rather not accept her promise than allow her to speak.

This……

However, since the other person was already on the verge of collapse, Jiang Qingyue wisely refrained from speaking again.

The other races, however, were quite supportive of District 70. The leader of District 8, on the other hand, was incredibly strange, practically a jinx.

Wherever she goes, chaos ensues.

They wouldn't have said anything if he were just a strong person, but the key is that this guy was pitifully weak when he first appeared. He just relied on his sharp tongue to cause trouble everywhere and constantly pick up scraps to become stronger.

No wonder he scared the leader of District 70 so much with just one sentence.

The two experimental areas looked at each other.

In reality, they had no choice at all.

These powerful figures' promises are just psychological comfort. Even if they could truly resurrect, many people have died in each experimental zone. They are too busy resurrecting their own relatives and clansmen to have any extra resources to resurrect two unrelated experimental zones.

But what can you do if you don't believe it?

Just like the leader of District 34 said, they didn't want to be at the bottom. In the end, they would be challenged, killed, and tied for last place with many other experimental districts that had died. Their district would still be wiped out.

It's nothing more than letting a few more people in the second tier die.

But even if those people are dead, they can't be brought back to life.

Their enemy is the God of Eternal Winter. They are just pawns to each other. They have no grudges against each other, so why drag others down with them?

"Okay, we agree."

After the leaders of the two experimental zones finished speaking, all their strength was drained, and they slumped into their seats.

The few remaining members of the clan in the two districts harbored no resentment and made no questions.

The leader of District 34 bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Thank you for your righteousness."

Everyone stood up, and even Wang Defa, who had changed his skin, crawled out of Jiang Qingyue's ear canal and stood on Jiang Qingyue's head, bending over in a very proper manner.

After expressing his gratitude, the leader of District 34 nodded to Jiang Qingyue.

"Let's go." Jiang Qingyue understood and led his people onto the arena.

The leader of District 29 also led his people to the arena.

After stepping onto the arena, instead of immediately engaging in combat, the leader of District 29 proactively handed over his weapon and took out some healing potions from his personal terminal, giving them to Jiang Qingyue.

Their subordinates followed suit, since the quantum computers couldn't be integrated right now. Even if they got their hands on the quantum computers, they wouldn't be able to retrieve the items stored in their spatial backpacks.

By doing this, the leader of District 29 clearly showed the utmost sincerity, hoping nothing more than to awaken a little bit of Jiang Qingyue's conscience.

Hopefully, given how sensible I am, the other party won't forget their promise.

"I want to cry." Wang Defa cried out in Jiang Qingyue's ear.

The battle was swift, and without any resistance, Jiang Qingyue decisively finished the fight and collected the opponent's corpse.

"Eighth District wins. 1 point reward, 3 points inherited from District 29."

The score for Zone 8 has reached 7 points, moving up one place from last place to tie for second to last with several other experimental zones.

District 8's ranking rose, while District 29 was completely wiped out.

The last column on the points leaderboard only has District 70 left.

The only one ranked last.

This competition will end as long as District 70 does not choose to take the initiative to challenge.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to return to their respective experimental areas.

Compared to this multiverse arena, the zombies in the experimental zone seemed incredibly friendly.

Since the start of the second round, the points rankings have never been clearer.

The scene was quiet for a while.

The Supreme God asked, "Which experimental zone is still open to challenge?"

Everyone curled their lips in disbelief, refusing to believe that the dog god hadn't heard what had just happened and was now asking unnecessary questions.

The leader of District 70 took a deep breath: "According to the rules, each experimental district must participate at least once. We've already participated twice. As for the remaining challenge opportunities, District 70 will voluntarily relinquish them..."

With a "bang," before the word "release" could even be uttered, the 70th District Chief's brain exploded, and a small winged insect flew out.

The little bug flapped its wings and flew to the hands of a tribesman in District 70. The tribesman carefully put the bug away, then stepped over the corpse of his leader and walked step by step toward the arena.

"We won't give up, we're going to challenge District 16."
