Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Time froze at 9:50 PM.

According to the rules: If a contestant does not arrive in the Divine Realm by 10 PM, it is considered a forfeit, and they are disqualified.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yue's figure was still nowhere to be seen.

As the Dragon Nation contestants wondered what might have happened on Zhang Yue's end, suddenly, all 99 contestants received a system notification simultaneously—

[Ding~ Attention: The contestants from the [Eastern Nation] have issued a challenge to the [Dragon Nation]. Please vote to decide whether to accept it]

Under normal circumstances, the World Finals feature matches randomly assigned by the system between two nations.

If one side issues a challenge and the other accepts, the two specified nations may then proceed to compete.

At the same time as the challenge notification appeared, the contestants from the Eastern Nation were seen circling the Divine Realm before heading straight to the Dragon Nation's base camp.

Their eyes gleamed with disdain as they openly taunted and mocked the Dragon Nation's contestants:

"What's wrong? Hesitating? Are you too scared to accept our challenge?"

"Before the competition began, we heard you Dragon Nation players boasting online about beating us in the finals. What happened? Chickened out now?"

"Damn it! This is hilarious. Acting like we're the scared ones. Even if they hadn't challenged us, we would've challenged them anyway." someone from the Dragon Nation was about to press the accept button but was stopped by Chen Long.

"The Eastern Nation ranks fifth in the world, and they have a legendary-class Jedi Warrior among their ranks. Their overall strength isn't much weaker than ours," Chen Long analyzed calmly. "Right now, we're one person short, and we're missing our strongest player. In high-level matches like this, even being down one person can make a huge difference."

"If we accept their challenge under these circumstances, the odds will be against us. But if we let the system match us randomly, except for the Eastern Nation, Lighthouse Nation, Cold Nation, and Bear Nation, we can beat anyone else."

As Chen Long finished speaking, everyone fell into a dilemma.

Meanwhile, Inoue Kojiro from the Eastern Nation continued egging his teammates on, provoking further:

"If you're scared, just admit it. Honestly, we'd totally understand your feelings—afraid of losing to us on the battlefield and embarrassing your Dragon Nation."

"To be fair, you Dragon Nation players never had any face compared to us from the Eastern Nation. So even if you lose, it's no big deal, haha!"

While the Eastern Nation contestants kept up their taunts, a sudden voice emerged from within the Dragon Nation group:

"I accept your challenge!"

Everyone turned to look.

A man in a long robe, a Beast Tamer, stepped out from the crowd.

"Zhang Yue!"

Seeing Zhang Yue's unexpected arrival, everyone around him cheered with joy.

Tian Xiner quickly asked, "Zhang Yue, where have you been? Why are you so late?"

"Just a minor issue," Zhang Yue replied, his eyes fixed on the Eastern Nation contestants.

"Honestly, we were planning on this anyway. This works perfectly for me."

With that, Zhang Yue selected the [Accept] option from the choices presented before him.

Zhang Yue's appearance reinvigorated everyone present, and they all voted to accept the challenge.

At this moment, Inoue Kojiro and Dabang Tong, their counterparts, looked slightly panicked.

"Nani? What's going on? Zero… How could he have returned so quickly?"

Dabang Tong turned to Inoue Kojiro nervously. "Kojiro-kun, should we retract the challenge? Even you said Zero is incredibly strong. Maybe he really is!"

Although Inoue Kojiro was surprised by Zhang Yue's return, he didn't seem overly fearful. With a cold laugh, he said, "I'm confident I can go fifty-fifty against Zero. You guys can handle the others. Beating Dragon Nation will still be easy."

"No problem. Stick to the plan. We'll crush them in the arena!"

Right after he spoke, the system prompt echoed—

[Ding~ After voting, the [Dragon Nation] has accepted your challenge. Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, [Eastern Nation] vs. [Dragon Nation]. Contestants, please prepare yourselves]

Inoue Kojiro glared at Zhang Yue and declared fiercely, "Just you wait. Tomorrow, I'll personally defeat you in the arena."

With that, Inoue Kojiro led his team away.

Back on the Dragon Nation's side, Tian Yu quickly asked, "Brother-in-law, what exactly happened to you?"

Watching the Eastern Nation contestants leave, Zhang Yue casually replied, "Nothing much. Just the same clowns showing up again."

Earlier, before entering the Divine Realm, Zhang Yue had received a Feixin message. Someone had pretended to hold Zhang Yue's parents hostage, demanding he head to the Tenth World to meet them.

Zhang Yue, who had no parents in this life, immediately saw through their intentions.

With a casual attitude, he decided to play along.

As expected, upon arriving, he was surrounded by the assassins who had previously worked with Liu Sheng.

Over a hundred assassins trapped Zhang Yue, not attacking but simply blocking his way to prevent him from leaving.

Their plan was obvious: force Zhang Yue to kill them, triggering a red-name status so he couldn't enter the Divine Realm.

What they hadn't anticipated was Zhang Yue's monster-clearing efficiency.

After effortlessly killing all 100+ assassins in an instant, Zhang Yue cleared over 10,000 sin points in less than an hour.

"They assumed you wouldn't show up for the competition, so they issued the challenge." Tian Xiner laughed. "Their expressions when you appeared—absolutely priceless! They must be kicking themselves for challenging us now."

Xu Bei chimed in, "Still, the Eastern Nation's overall strength is formidable. We shouldn't underestimate them."

"They're just an island nation," Zhang Yue said nonchalantly. "We'll crush them easily."

———

Time quickly flew to the next morning at 10 AM.

Due to the finals requiring contestants to enable live streaming, every broadcast room was packed with viewers.

Amid the anticipation, the competition officially began.

[Ding~ Dragon Nation contestants, please note: Your opponents this time are the Eastern Nation. The first phase of the competition will begin in one hour. Please organize your teams freely]

The competition was divided into three phases:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

1. Monster-Slaying Contest

Both sides send 30 players into the same map. PvP is prohibited; contestants can only earn points by killing monsters. The side with the most kills wins.

2. Relay Battles

Both sides send another 30 players (those who participated in Phase 1 cannot participate again) into a map. Players duel one-on-one, with the loser switching out until one team is entirely eliminated.

3. Endless Slaughter

Both sides send their remaining 40 players into the map. In this phase, PvP is enabled, and each kill scores points. The match continues until time runs out.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

During team formation, someone in the livestream suggested, ["God Zero is amazing at killing monsters. Let him take the lead in Phase 1 to secure an early lead. That way, even if we slip up later, we'll still win!"]

Others objected, ["He's not just good at killing monsters—he's a PvP god too. Save him for Phase 3, where he'll be a reaping machine against those island players."]

Chen Long said, "High-damage dealers for Phase 1, strong PvP players for Phase 2, and those with strong team coordination for Phase 3. Decide for yourselves."

At this moment, Zhang Yue spoke up, "I'll take Phase 3. You can mess up the first two phases however you like—I'll carry us back."

"Alright!" one contestant joked. "With that, I'll just close my eyes and play randomly."

"I'll fight them one-handed."

"I'll use my feet to fight."

"Getting more ridiculous…"

———

Soon, the match began.

In Phase 1, both sides sent 30 players to the Beast Mountain Range map.

As the countdown began, the players dispersed and began hunting the beasts roaming the mountains.
