Welcome to the Coliseum of Gods, I am Bobby, the referee and host of this grand event. Please, two great empires, prepare yourselves, register your four participants, and the competition will commence in one hour.

In the center of the arena, a tall bald man was making some exaggerated gestures, looking like a nightclub DJ.

This was Jiang Wenming's first time seeing the Mythological Arena, so he couldn't help but look around curiously.

This is a building similar to an ancient Roman Colosseum, about the size of a football field in the middle, surrounded by densely packed seats. Quite a few people have already appeared.

At the same time, a screen appeared before him.

Rules of the Coliseum <<<

Rule One: Every battle, five deities will be refreshed. You can choose one to summon into battle.

Rule Two: Any deity that has appeared may only fight once. The victor lives, the loser dies.

Rule three: Best of five games, the ultimate winner can claim compensation from the loser.

Three simple rules, brutal and straightforward, reveal the harsh law of survival of the fittest.

At this time, within the territory of the Xia Dynasty, things were in an uproar.

Within the capital of Kyoto, a group of elders were arguing heatedly.

"What is Li Siyuan doing? He actually made a Divine Consort who has the qualification to open the arena become his teacher, and he even successfully locked onto the Red God Deity's Divine Consort."

“Old Zhang, don't get so angry. This isn't his fault. Longye was there too, wasn't he? Couldn't he have stopped it? The other party was clearly prepared for this; it's just a coincidence.”

Over the years, the Sakura Empire has been relentlessly expanding outward, becoming a dominant force. As our two countries are so close, war is only a matter of time.

"That being said, the strength of the Sakura Empire is no secret to you. Their mythological lineage is complete. If they hadn't been unlucky and not stumbled upon high-quality deities randomly, I'm afraid they would have attacked us long ago."

"Let's just do it, are we afraid they won't succeed?"

A general with a chest full of medals slammed his fist on the table and roared.

"Silence!"

The elder at the head, seeing that the commotion below was growing increasingly chaotic, frowned slightly and uttered a light reprimand.

Although his voice was soft, it was full of undeniable authority. The conference room fell silent instantly.

"Right now, the discussion is about who to send out. Let's not talk about anything unrelated to this topic."

The old man's gaze swept across the crowd, but no one dared to meet his eyes.

"The Sakura Empire is formidable, but I'll take this one. Dealing with them and winning shouldn't be a problem."

Longye spoke first.

"I'm going too, aiming for a three-game winning streak and not giving them a chance to cause trouble."

Li Siyuan also stood up.

"And me too."

Another middle-aged man stood up.

"Hullabaloo!"

Li Jianjun glared at the three people and rebuked them.

"You three are the nation's top fighters. If you all make a move this time, even if you win, what about the following crisis? Who will deal with it?" Xiao said ΦWEN WANG

"Do you really think the other five empires are made of vegetarians?"

Upon hearing this, the three people lowered their heads in some shame.

Just now, in a moment of panic, I only thought about dealing with the Sakura Empire, but I ignored the other five empires.

A deity can only participate in the Mythical Arena once a year. Even if they all fight and win, they may not be able to hold onto their victory.

The rest of the empires won't mind, let's take advantage of their weakness and strike them while they are down.

If they don't make a move, the Sakura Empire probably doesn't have the confidence to win. What if they lose...?

This is a game of strategy, no one knows what the other player will play.

The best way is for the sent player to just barely outscore the opponent without affecting the following rounds.

But this kind of thing, it sounds simple to say, but it's too difficult to do.

After all, human hearts are unfathomable.

All eyes were on Li Jianjun, who was seated in the chief's place.

This old man, who has always been known as the "God of War," was also staring at the list at this time, racking his brains.

Time passes little by little.

Just in the last five minutes did he finally start writing.

He quickly wrote down five names on paper and then put them in the tray in front of him.

The list disappeared instantly, registration is over!

"Let's go."

Li Jianjun sighed, and his body suddenly vanished.

The next moment.

A group of elders, all present, were seated at the designated seats representing the HuaXia camp.

"Boom!"

With a chime of the bell, signaling that it was time to prepare.

The rosters for both empires have been submitted. Let's see who's competing.

Host Bobby, in a curious tone, said:

Wow, the five contestants from the Hua Xia Empire are Jiang Wenming, Longye, Zhong Ling, Xue Jiatang, and Shen Qingyun.

As Po's name rang out, the entire Chinese Empire erupted in cheers.

These five people, besides Chiang Wenming, are all well-known figures.

Especially Longye and Xue Jiagang, these two are the two great war gods of the Hua Xia Empire. They are both chosen ones of golden quality deities, and the other two are also chosen ones of purple quality deities.

In this era of the unyielding crimson deity, this represents the pinnacle of combat strength, a testament to a nation's depth.

"It's settled. With General Longye and General Xue Jiaxiang, what's there to fear from a mere Cherry Blossom Empire?"

"China will surely win!"

"May China prosper forever!"

"...

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Four figures soon appeared beside Chiang Wenming, they were the four people on the list.

Psst!

Host Bob made a shushing gesture with his finger to his lips.

Then he opened another list, and his face suddenly became strange.

Here is the list of participants from the Sakura Empire:

Sōma Inukai, Okamoto Hiroshi, Sakura Sakuranomiya, Takizawa Hideo, Yamaguchi Momoe.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As each name was called out, the room fell silent.

Within the stands of the Hua Xia Empire, everyone's face turned pale. The audience from other empires also looked at the Hua Xia Empire with a look of anticipation for a good show.

Even his gaze held a touch of pity.

Because of these five individuals, apart from Sōseki no Inu, the remaining four are all Golden Deity Divine Attendants.

It can be said that it is the top combat power in the Sakura Empire.

"Has the Sakura Empire gone mad? They've sent out all of their Golden God Divinities and their attendants!"

In the audience of the Huaxia Empire, a white-haired old general trembled with both anger and shock.

"I miscalculated, I underestimated their covetous heart towards our China."

Li Jianjun looked rather dejected. He had thought that the other party would send out two Golden Divine Favored Ones, which would already be quite good. However, who would have thought that the other party would actually mobilize all their forces.

"Don't be like a bunch of losing roosters. The competition is best of five, and Long Ye and Xue Jiaxiang shouldn't have any problems. As long as Jiang Wenming can beat Song Yixuan, we might not lose."

An old general in the audience comforted.

However, everyone knows that a newly awakened child can hardly be a match for a god-blessed one who has been awakened for decades.

The opponent can summon their divine spirit, and it's even a purple one. The chances of winning are too slim.

Even many people were discussing how to deal with what comes next after the defeat.

After the host, Bobby, finished reading out the list on stage, he snapped his fingers.

Ten cards appear in mid-air, this is for choosing the competition order.

As the number one war god of China, Longye naturally wouldn't back down from taking first place in the first match.

As long as he wins decisively, he could also potentially win two matches in a row.

Although he isn't very close with his second most important deity, it's still better than the others, right?

However, just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Wenming suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"General, I remember on the Mythical Arena, you could challenge repeatedly, right?"

What do you want to do?

Ryono naturally understood his meaning. A deity could only participate in one battle, but he hadn't said that a divine favored one could only participate once.

Everyone here has a few backup deities, right?

However, the young man before us has just awakened, and he may not even be able to summon his divine patron reliably.

How can one repeatedly engage in combat?
