I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Zhao Zhao looked at the others and continued:

"So what you're saying is, in the pre-selection tournament we might face professional players."

"No problem, we still have our trump card!"

Mo Yun patted the table and said proudly:

"I don't believe anyone else has the same great replication opportunity as we do!"

"That's our trump card. My idea is that we definitely shouldn't use it in the pre-selection tournament; save it for the actual matches. Everyone remember that."

"Alright, alright, you're always such a worrywart."

The other team members nodded repeatedly.

They knew how seriously Zhao Zhao viewed this professional league, but they felt the same way.

After all, for them, this first professional league in the Divine Revelation game had the most available spots for professional teams, making it the best chance to become professional players.

If they don't succeed this time, they will have to compete for the few spots with everyone else in the upcoming seasons.

And they were quite confident in the strength of the Embers of the Fire team.

Having secured a leading advantage from the White Dove Guild and Kane Floating City, if they couldn't surpass players from other regions, then they might as well go home early and wash up to sleep!

...

Three days later, the Divine Revelation game's Hua Xia District professional league officially kicked off,

Divine Revelation, being a game of a whole new model, did not have a pre-set entry mechanism like previous game professional leagues.

Apart from the Hua Xia District's four professional teams, other spots were all selected through the pre-selection tournament.

As long as the number of people and strength in the team met the selection requirements (official team members exceeding seven and reaching the current version's player level cap), they could register.

For a while, the entire player forum was abuzz.

It's now the late stage of version 2.0; the main storyline has basically ended, and players had nothing much to do, making the professional league perfect for capturing everyone's attention.

Many eagerly signed up, and the number of teams registering for the pre-selection tournament even exceeded a million.

Due to the sheer number of registrations, the mode of the pre-selection tournament was quite special. FirstpublishedonM|V|L!EMPYR.

The Divine Revelation game system duplicated player data to specific servers, and players entered this server through a special port for matches.

Due to the excessive number of teams, the first half of the pre-selection tournament involved massive selection processes.

All player teams were placed on specific maps to engage in battle royale matches, earning different scores based on the survival time and number of team members.

Each team participated in ten battle royale matches, ranking based on the comprehensive scores achieved in these ten matches.

Only the top thousand teams from the Hua Xia District could proceed to the second round of the pre-selection tournament, which was the official knockout stage.

This game mode truly tested each team member's skill and cohesion. Even if some teams got lucky and ranked high in one or two matches, it's impossible to always have such luck over ten matches, effectively preventing the under-skilled Luck Kings and Gambling Teams.

Moreover, the maps used in the battle royale matches were all dungeon maps from the Hua Xia District, with hundreds or even thousands existing across the Fanor Continent, making it impractical to rote memorization of dungeon strategies.

However, some secret realm dungeons in these battle royale matches were quite special and well-known.

Whenever these dungeon maps appeared in the pre-selection tournament livestream, many spectators' eyes lit up as they rushed in to watch.

Meanwhile, players who encountered these types of maps instantly showed a bitter melon face.

That's the secret realm dungeon series of the White Dove Guild!

Many Transcendent-level shops sold dungeon crystals, which allowed players to enter corresponding dungeons by purchasing these crystals, achieving accomplishments and earning experience points and achievement rewards.

Many secret realm dungeons had speedrun leaderboards, and many players took pride in faster dungeon clears, spawning numerous dungeon pass streamers and gaming legends.

However, no player has successfully completed the White Dove Guild's secret realm dungeons so far.

Just look at the secret realm dungeon crystals from the White Dove Guild to understand why.

Golden Rank secret realm dungeon [McGwire's Death Tomb]!

Legendary Rank secret realm dungeon [Blood Sacrifice Chaos]!

Legendary Rank secret realm dungeon [Ice Peak City's Demon's Gate]!

Golden Rank secret realm dungeon [Bodichi's Final Battle]!

Legendary Rank secret realm dungeon [Bright City Great Plague Event]!

Golden Rank secret realm dungeon [Kate City Blood Battle]!

Divine Rank secret realm dungeon [Destruction of the Elf Court]!

Legendary Rank secret realm dungeon [Final Battle of Ely Hills]!

...

Among them, the lowest-ranked secret realm dungeon is at least of Golden Rank.

Bronze Level players entering these essentially amount to cannon fodder.

So even if players purchased these dungeon crystals, the goal wasn't to clear them, but to hunker down and observe Lis's previous records.

These dungeons are the highest-rank secret realm dungeons in the entire Divine Revelation game, leaving all teams encountering them exasperated.

Among them, the dungeons [Blood Sacrifice Chaos] and [Destruction of the Elf Court] were the most terrifying.

If players were randomly assigned these two secret realm dungeons, they might as well give up and wait to die.
