Finally, it was here!
Throughout the Sealed Regions and World Beyond, the Chosen King Competition was heralded as the greatest contest of talents beneath a certain age, rife with countless blessings that only the fated, determined, and strong can claim. It had become synonymous with the transformation of self and a determinant of one's potential future.
To the Ascendants, this was not even remotely close to what their Ascendant Emperor instilled within them.
From the beginning, the Chosen King Competition was a stage; it was a platform whereby they could showcase their greatest talents and acquire some benefits, testing themselves and proving the efforts of their cultivation thus far. It was a contest between themselves. Everyone else was merely spectators and obstacles.
They knew this. They believed this. And their attitudes thus far, only displayed this. Whether it was the Everworld Venture or the Everpath Voyage, they were treated as mere games to reveal their powers.
