Chapter 871 - 866: Peak Title Battle, Once Again
Bai Pu passed through the star gate in the inner city district and returned to Earth.
It should be explained that Earth prohibits outsiders from directly teleporting inside the atmosphere.
If others wish to use the star gate to teleport to Earth, they must first teleport outside the atmosphere, to Earth’s Spiritual Energy Protective Membrane, and then apply for access.
As the Master of the Earth Battleship, Bai Pu is an exception.
Western Capital.
As soon as Bai Pu’s figure appeared, he received a prompt from the Spirit Realm Will.
[The Huaxia Peak Title Battle has resumed.]
[Currently, the peak titles in the preliminary rounds are: Dragon King, Divine Throne.]
[As the Master of the Earth Battleship, you can supplement the rules for the Peak Title Battle, but may not change the existing rules.]
[If you are not on the Earth Battleship, the Title Battle will proceed according to the default conventional rules.]
Bai Pu glanced at the prompt message, somewhat taken aback.
Upon thorough investigation, Bai Pu finally understood.
It turns out the Huaxia Peak Title Battle on Earth resumed last week.
At this time, the [Divine Throne] title was supposed to be recontested, but since the former Dragon King was slain in the Spirit Realm, the [Dragon King] title was vacant.
Thus, rarely, the two peak titles: Divine Throne and Dragon King began simultaneously!
As the Master of the Earth Battleship, Bai Pu is akin to Earth’s official representative.
The Peak Title Battle is a collaborative project between Earth’s official entity and the Spirit Realm Will. Earth organizes to ensure fairness in the competition; the Spirit Realm Will provides rewards in Spiritual Energy.
As the cooperating second party, Bai Pu is qualified to set rules for the Peak Title Battle but cannot violate the original rules set by the Spirit Realm Will.
For example, the registration condition for [Dragon King] is that the registrant must possess a Master Level Elemental Mystical Arts.
The registration condition for [Divine Throne] is that the registrant must possess a Warrior Level or higher Template mount, and their Special Attributes must not be lower than 175.
These are determined by the Spirit Realm Will, Bai Pu cannot change them.
But Bai Pu can add some specifics, which is within his authority as the Master of the Earth Battleship, Earth’s official capacity.
"Then I’ll add one more rule: registrants must hold Huaxia nationality. As for their location, it may not be restricted."
This rule blocked awakened individuals holding foreign nationalities from registering.
Meanwhile, as Earth transitions to the Silver Heart Great World, more and more Huaxia people may be unable to return to Earth when the Title Battle begins.
So Bai Pu removed the location restriction.
As long as the awakened is an Earth person and holds Huaxia nationality, no matter where they are in the Silver Heart Great World’s corners, they can register to participate!
This way, the Great and Small Witches on the Silver Heart Continent can qualify to participate.
Seeing Speaker Wan and others hastily greeting him, Bai Pu spoke calmly:
"Earth’s communication with me is still too closed off; the Peak Title Battle was already warming up last week, and I’m just now aware!"
Speaker Wan was somewhat embarrassed: "There’s no Major General Gaia on Earth’s side; messages can only be relayed through the contact method left by Master Discarding and Letting Go..."
"The Peak Title Battle is a significant affair for Earth Huaxia. Other planets, even the Silver Heart Continent, don’t have peak titles at the awakened stage! Cherish it."
Bai Pu deeply felt his lack of control over Earth.
This is with reason.
Originally, Bai Pu was unsure if he could hold onto Earth, ready at any time to offer Earth to senior Evolver majors such as Discarding and Letting Go, so he never strengthened control over Earth, always staying in the shadows.
As for now...
Bai Pu glanced at the "Forbidden Curse Replica" in his hand.
He now has the confidence to lead Earth through the Yazd Starship’s assault, then prove his worth to the Gaia Group and earn Earth a place in the Silver Heart Great World’s starry sky!
Some originally planned measures should also be brought onto the agenda!
"Speaker Wan, gather all the Central Councillors and Practical Officers for a meeting."
Bai Pu calmly said, "The meeting’s theme is: how to promote Huaxia cultural unification, integrate the entire planet’s resources for development, and most importantly... how to clear out the tumors and parasites within the planet!"
Speaker Wan realized what Bai Pu intended to do.
After ruling with a laid-back approach for so long, Bai Pu finally intends to actively participate in planetary affairs, demonstrating his presence and influence.
Only hope Bai Pu doesn’t make overly radical decisions or irresponsible strategies...
Speaker Wan contained his inner anxieties, agreed with a word, and turned away.
Bai Pu glanced at Speaker Wan’s retreating figure. He knew what Speaker Wan was worried about.
Bai Pu doesn’t plan to directly overthrow the existing order and start anew; after all, Speaker Wan and others have always presented themselves as benevolent elders along Bai Pu’s growth path, aiding his ascent.
So, Bai Pu will still use the existing system.
But Bai Pu’s will must be implemented!
It’s like putting new wine in old bottles.
If someone doesn’t want to change, they’ll be eliminated by the times.
Through the Gaia Seal number of the Great and Small Witches, Bai Pu sent them information about the Title Battle.
While communicating, Bai Pu moved into Earth’s Planet Power Core—also known as Earth Core Space—and embedded the Forbidden Curse Replica there.
"The Peak Title Battle has started? Can we quickly return to Earth to register in time?"
The Great Witch and Little Witch transmitted messages via the Gaia Seal number.
"No need to return."
Bai Pu replied: "I have already removed the location restriction for participants. You are Earth people holding Huaxia nationality, even in the Silver Heart Continent, you can register to participate."
Wu Qingyun was both surprised and delighted: "So convenient? I have a Winged Dragon mount; I can register for the Divine Throne battle."
The Winged Dragon mount was hatched from a Winged Dragon Egg previously gifted by Bai Pu to Wu Qingyun. Wu Qingyun had his family’s Beast Tamer carefully tend to it, and now it is a Warrior Template.
Wu Mingyue sent Bai Pu a heart emoji: "This is a rule adjustment Little Bai made for us. I plan to compete for the ’Dragon King’ title... I wonder what the rules for the preliminaries and finals are?"
"The rules are similar to before; both the preliminaries and finals are conducted in the Mirror Spirit Realm. You in the Silver Heart Continent can also teleport to the Mirror Spirit Realm to participate."
Bai Pu simultaneously queried and replied to the Great and Small Witches:
"I already applied to Gaia’s Will to compress the schedule. The day after the five final participants are determined, the finals will be held in the Mirror Spirit Realm, aiming to conclude both title battles before Major General Gaia’s force assessment."
Compressing the schedule doesn’t violate the principle of fairness.
Originally, a prolonged schedule was for the audience’s viewing experience, maintaining engagement.
Now a tighter schedule benefits the participants; even if personal information is exposed, others will have insufficient time to target it.
"Little Bai, would you consider competing for a peak title?" Wu Mingyue asked.
