Wang Teng smiled and nodded, "The World Awakening Divine Embryo has finally been refined by me, increasing my strength significantly!"

As soon as he said this, the four women were all overjoyed.

They naturally hoped that Wang Teng would grow stronger and stronger!

"Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!"

At that moment, the sky suddenly trembled! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The cold mechanical voice echoed throughout the Fertile Star Realm.

[Star Realm Announcement: In one hour, the third round of the Points Contest will fully commence, now announcing the contest rules in advance...]

"Boom~!"

With the release of this news, the entire Fertile Star Realm was in an uproar!

All factions were eagerly awaiting, perked up their ears, and listened nervously.

In the Celestial Court territory, Suspended Island Square was in uproar!

"Everyone, the rules are finally about to be announced!"

"I wonder if it will be beneficial or detrimental to us! It's so nerve-wracking!"

At this moment, the entire Celestial Court was extremely tense.

Everyone was waiting anxiously with apprehension.

In the air, Wang Teng also looked up at the sky, silently waiting.

The ethereal mechanical voice continued to emanate...

[The contest rules are as follows:]

[In this round of contests, a camp-based format will be adopted, with three camps divided: red, blue, and green.]

[The Celestial Court will be the main force of the Red Camp, the Six Paths Mausoleum will be the main force of the Blue Camp, and the Guang Yin Race will be the main force of the Green Camp.]

[Mysterious forces may voluntarily choose to join one of the camps and must complete their choice before the competition starts.]

[Once a camp is selected, it cannot be changed!]

[Forces within the same camp must obey the main force's command and cannot engage in mutual combat.]

[Eliminating members of different camps can earn generous rewards in Points, Combat Power, Experience Points.]

[This round of contests will include a surrender mode, where only the leaders of the Celestial Court, Six Paths Mausoleum, and Guang Yin Race have the authority to accept the surrenders of enemy forces.]

[Surrendering forces will lose their qualification to continue in the competition and will be punished accordingly!]

[Accepting the surrender of the defeated grants the victor double rewards.]

[The victor may also reject the surrender and annihilate all of them.]

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng was somewhat surprised!

This third round actually includes a surrender mode!

Evidently, this is the will of the Great World to protect those mysterious forces, giving them a chance for survival!

After all, fostering a mysterious force is not easy.

However, surrender might not necessarily be useful!

If the victor does not wish to accept the opponent's surrender, then destruction is the only fate.

And those authorized to accept enemy surrenders are only three people!

They are Wang Teng, Jiang Taichu, Taishi.

In other words, whoever controls this year's Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact can accept surrenders.

As Wang Teng pondered, the ethereal mechanical voice continued with reminders...

[This round of contests will adopt a points system. The camp with the highest total points will be deemed the victor!]

[The leader of the Heaven-Suppressing Force in the victor camp will be elected as the candidate for Star Lord for this cycle.]

[Time limit for this round: seven days]

[Hint: After this round of contests, if the Celestial Court, Three-Star Cave, or Celestial Divine Country is not the victorious camp, the number of territories will be automatically reduced, leaving only one territory.]

Upon hearing this reminder, the entire Celestial Court was in an uproar!

Wang Teng felt a sudden realization in his heart.

Obviously, if the Celestial Court does not win this third round of contests, it will be like other mysterious forces, retaining only one territory.

Of course, the Celestial Court can still develop outposts!

But outposts are different from territories!

Outposts can only establish Teleportation Arrays, without other public buildings, losing many convenient functions.

Of course, these are minor issues!

The more important aspect is that with only one territory left, it means that the Celestial Court cannot upgrade anymore in the future.

Wang Teng will also be unable to unlock higher-level combat power feedback!

This will seriously affect the development of Wang Teng and the Celestial Court!

"Master, the last reminder seems to be aimed at us!"

Beside Wang Teng, the voice of Little Douzi rang out.

Her tone was full of concern.

Feng Xi also said, "Yes! Restricting the number of territories is to curb the expansion of the Challenger Faction, making it impossible for the force to upgrade again!"

"By that time, we will be like other mysterious forces, no longer favored by the will of the Great World."

Upon saying this, Feng Xi was filled with emotion.

Her tone was full of anxiety and uncertainty!

Wang Teng pondered, "After all, this is the final contest! If we fail, we will become a mysterious force or even face extinction. It seems that our Celestial Court needs to fight with our backs against the wall and win this third round of contests!"

Feng Xi nodded, "Only by winning the contest can we maintain the advantages of the Challenger Faction!"

Wang Teng also nodded slightly.

The advancement of the Celestial Court and his combat power feedback are all advantages of the Challenger Faction.

This advantage is very important to him and the Celestial Court and must be maintained.

With this understanding, Wang Teng felt a sense of urgency.

The third round of contests!

He must win!

At that moment, the ethereal mechanical voice delivered a reminder...

[All mysterious forces, please begin choosing your camp... ]

[Whoever has not chosen before the contest starts will be deemed to have automatically forfeited and will suffer severe Celestial Punishment!]

[The countdown begins now: 60:00... 59:59...]

As this reminder appeared, the entire Fertile Star Realm was in turmoil again!

All the mysterious forces were tense.

They must make a choice within an hour!

Otherwise, it will be equal to forfeit and they will be faced with severe Celestial Punishment!

At this moment, in the Celestial Court chat channel, everyone was nervously engaged in conversation.

"Everyone, I feel that this time the contest rules are very unfavorable to us!"
