Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 474 The Passion of the Past
Since the fusion of the first spatial gate in the capital, the 'Land of Chaos', countries around the world have been in a state of tension and anxiety.

This anxiety gradually turned into fear.

The forced fusion of the spatial gates signifies that the aliens have lost patience.

This is a signal.

A signal that the Divine Martial Continent is about to invade!
This is even more unsettling than the appearance of a hundred new portals.

Although the Chaotic Lands were forcibly closed and the Inhumans suffered heavy losses, no one believed the invasion would stop.

For the past six months, the extraordinary person has not made any major moves; it's just the calm before the storm.

Perhaps in the near future, a second portal will merge, and this portal may appear in other countries.

Once there's a second one, there will be a third, and a fourth.

If one of the spatial gates successfully merges, it will trigger a full-scale war between the two worlds.

The situation is extremely serious. If war breaks out, what will truly determine the outcome will not be weapons, nor the number of warriors and demon spirit masters.

Rather, it is high-end combat power.

This combat power represents emperors and kings.

Since emperors cannot be cultivated, the plan to become king was born.

This is the first plan launched by the World Alliance in response to the impending war.

It is also the most important plan.

The goal is to gather resources from all over the world and cultivate a group of champions.

Of course, the plan also serves to divert people's attention.

Undoubtedly, this was a great success.

People's attention was indeed diverted, and their anxiety and fear were temporarily forgotten.

Since the World Alliance announced the start time and basic rules of the King Project a month ago, people all over the world have gone crazy for it.

This time, China has 68 places for trainees, which is much fewer than expected, but it is still the country with the most places.

Each student can bring two assistants.

According to the rules set by the World Alliance, the number of trainees a country can obtain is not directly related to its national strength.

This time, adhering to the principle of absolute fairness, the number of trainees is only related to the resources available.

The more resources a country provides, the more students it can attract.

Furthermore, this plan to become king is not entirely based on the national level.

Any conglomerate or power that can provide rare resources, such as precious Earthly Ranking Demon Spirits, may be able to obtain a spot for the students.

This is permitted by the rules.

The more resources available, the better it is for trainees to improve their skills, and no one will object to this or feel that it is unfair.

After all, this is an elimination tournament.

Without strength, it's impossible to go all the way to the end, and it's impossible to become a king.

As for how trainees are selected, the World Alliance has no requirements; each country sets its own rules.

However, there are generally two ways: strength and popularity.

China also uses this method, with 34 slots available for each country.

The first type: Strength is paramount.

It's all about absolute strength; the spots are decided through battle.

The second method: popularity vote.

The winners will be selected through a public vote.

This is based on popularity.

Of course, popularity is also composed of strength and potential.

The weak cannot be popular.

Every citizen who is 14 years of age or older has a vote, which can be verified by their identity information.

If you cast your vote for a particular candidate, you can change it, but you can only change it once.

The popularity poll has begun and will last for a month; there's only one week left.

Jiangcheng, early morning.

People leave their homes to go to work.

Those who needed to travel short distances did so on foot, while those who needed to travel long distances used transportation. But regardless of the method, all they could hear were discussions about the plan to become king, and about a certain powerful figure's plans regarding it.

Promotional posters for the King of Glory Project can be seen everywhere, from streets and alleys to bus stops, and the screens of major shopping malls are also dominated by Glory players.

Although it was still early morning, the energetic music had already started, instantly putting everyone into an excited state.

This hype and star-making storm began the moment the Chengwang plan was announced.

Those who are truly qualified to receive a spot as a student have become the focus of discussion and controversy.

Jiangxi Middle School.

The students gathered together, eating breakfast and discussing excitedly.

"Did you watch the match yesterday? Chen Hu was absolutely amazing; Zhou Weibing was completely crushed."

"How could I not have seen it? But yesterday was a 5v5 team battle, okay? Zhou Weibing is a control character, mainly supporting his teammates. Isn't it normal for him to get close and take down by warriors?"

"You have excuses for being defeated? Is having such low popularity an excuse?"

"Do you want to practice?"

"Fine, I'll practice then. Do you think I'm really afraid of you?"

"Zhao Zhou is still the best, no wonder he's an All-Star player." "How could the former captain of the Thunder team not be good! I just checked, he's ranked 11th on the popularity list, he's already secured a spot."

The students discussed their favorite athletes, and when the discussion got heated, if no one was willing to give in, they would resort to violence to resolve the issue.

As a result, fighting students can be seen everywhere on campus, and you can see a few people with bruises and swelling from time to time.

The teachers who passed by were already used to this scene and didn't bother to stop it.

It wasn't just the students; they were talking about this topic too.

A fat old man said regretfully, "In terms of fighting style, Ye Xing is still the most explosive. It's a pity he's too young, only at the eighth rank. If the King-Making Plan had been held a few years later, with his popularity, he would definitely have gotten a spot."

"We definitely can't get a trainee spot, but we still have a chance at two assistant spots. Xie Yixiao also managed to curry favor with Chen Junhao. Although the resources for assistants are not as good as those for trainees, the treatment they receive is not much different."

"We haven't heard from Lin Feng's team for three months. I wonder what they've been up to!"

"Keep the portal sealed. Their record is far superior to those few stars."

"That's true, but strength is the key! After all, this is a competition among top experts from all over the world, with an astonishing elimination rate. In the end, it's strength that matters."

In terms of popularity, Yun Tianqi, Lin Feng, Yun Kai, and Ye Qiu are naturally the most popular in Jiangcheng!
Unfortunately, they were all too young.

Although Yun Tianqi couldn't get a spot as a trainee, as an All-Star player, although his strength was a bit weaker and he didn't have an advantage, he was very popular and was fully capable of becoming a trainee's helper, just like Xie Yixiao.

Given his popularity, many powerful individuals would be willing to participate.

If an assistant is popular enough, they can also help those who have a chance to get a spot to vote.

This is a popularity-based binding.

However, with only one week left in the voting, Yun Tianqi had clearly given up.

Guanglin.

Hongyun University.

Since the Hongyun team won the national college Glory League championship, the Jianghu Martial Arts Club has become the number one club at Hongyun University.

The student council is practically ready to be merged into the Jianghu Martial Arts Club.

Today, one-third of the shops in Hongyun's commercial district are related to the Jianghu Martial Arts Association.

The commercial district alone generates over 300 million in revenue each month.

Moreover, thanks to the immense popularity of Lin Feng's team and their connections with members of the Jianghu Martial Arts Club, their business has expanded to various sectors across Guanglin.

Even the major conglomerates of Guanglin have to give the martial arts club founded by Lin Feng and Yun Kai some face.

That is why, although it has only been established for three years, Jianghu Martial Arts Society has already shown a tendency to develop into a conglomerate.

They also established a company in the heart of Guanglin, but Gao Hai and Yang Fan still preferred to stay at the martial arts club.

The two were listening to their employees report on their work.

Over the course of three years, as the martial arts club grew, the two of them matured considerably. They donned suits, dressed professionally, and their youthful innocence had long since faded.

"The Faith Foundation terminated the cooperation without giving a reason, and this time they seemed rather impatient!"

Listening to his employees' report, Gao Hai put down his teacup and frowned slightly.

The Shinji Foundation.

One of the top ten conglomerates in Guanglin.

The 'Liyang' spatial portal that Lin Feng's team had previously sealed off was a task commissioned by this consortium.

Because Lin Feng's team sealed the portal, the Xinzhi Consortium made a fortune, conservatively estimated at two billion. At that time, they even took the initiative to approach them, seeking cooperation.

They were incredibly obsequious back then.

Who would have thought they would suddenly turn their backs and terminate the contract?

"As expected of a businessman, he turns on you as soon as there's no profit involved."

Yang Fan laughed, his tone revealing disdain.

Lin Feng's team disappeared for three months without any news, and the previously sealed spatial portal was reoccupied by the aliens.

In addition, after disappearing for so long, there have been bad rumors, so it's normal for their attitude to change when there's no profit to be made.

However, it's rather unethical to unilaterally terminate a contract after proactively seeking cooperation and signing one.

"A bunch of short-sighted fools."

Yang Fan didn't pay much attention to it.

Business was indeed affected over the past three months, but not significantly. After all, those who are short-sighted and abandon their partners after achieving their goals are a minority.

"Still no news from Brother Feng and the others?"

"not yet."

"The competition for spots is almost over, there's only one week left," Yang Fan said helplessly, his tone tinged with worry.

To others, the King's Cultivation Plan had nothing to do with Lin Feng and his group; only the two of them knew that Lin Feng was very interested in the King's Cultivation Plan.

Although they didn't know where Lin Feng's confidence came from, they held great hope.

Based on their understanding of Lin Feng, they knew that if it was something unrelated to them, no matter how tempting it was, Lin Feng wouldn't be interested.

Lin Feng is good at creating miracles, maybe this time will be another one?
Just as the two were chatting, Yang Fan's phone vibrated slightly, and the sound of an oriole came through. Upon hearing this sound, he was startled, and his expression immediately became excited.

This is a ringtone he specially set for Lin Feng.

He quickly took out his phone to check.

It's a text message.

The text message was very simple, only a dozen words long, but it made him look incredulous.

At that moment, he felt a surge of excitement.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to three years ago, to the martial arts forum where he posted a message exposing Ye Qiu and setting off a nationwide sensation.
