Chapter 1799 The Battle For Survival

This so-called battle for survival was to gauge the abilities of the candidates to hold on until the final
moment. Moreover, there was no time limit for this challenge. In other words, the battle would not end
until the winners filled in the corresponding slots. However, the high-grade Spiritual Emperors did not
feel the need to make the first move since they were powerful enough to endure the attacks hurled at
them.

Therefore, it was safe to say that the strong ones had the absolute advantage while the weaker ones
would be forced to struggle and double their efforts.

At the end of this round, only fifteen candidates would remain. Ten of those slots would easily be
obtained by the high-grade Spiritual Emperors. Hence, the rest of the low-grade and middle-grade
Spiritual Emperors would have to fight all-out just to secure the five remaining spots.

The survival battle had the same setup as the previous round that was held in the Holy Heaven Palace,
and the candidates were not restricted to form alliances. Thus, in order to make sure that they would
survive this battle, it was inevitable for the candidates, especially for the weaker ones, to be in groups
to have a chance of taking down the stronger ones.

However, this was also a bit tricky since everyone was aware that even the ones they were allied with
might betray them in the end just to acquire the spot for the next round. Therefore, everyone was
careful in choosing their partners and had already made some backup plans. Moreover, they could not
reveal all their tricks and strength in this round, because they would lose the upper hand in the next
one.

But of course, everyone's priority right now was to get to the next round. Once a critical moment
emerged, they would be forced to use all tactics that they were keeping.

Soon enough, the first day of the survival battle ended, and ten candidates were eliminated right away.
Almost all of them were low-grade Spiritual Emperors.



Then, three days passed in a flash. The battle became even fiercer, and more than half of the
candidates had been eliminated. At this point, only thirty Spiritual Emperors were left, meaning that half
of them still needed to be taken down before the battle ended. Besides the ten high-grade Spiritual
Emperors, some of the notable low-grade Spiritual Emperors that still remained were Michelle, Seth,
Eunice, and Carla. Of course, needless to say, the Godly Geniuses were still in the battle.

It was not surprising that Michelle was still left standing. With her beauty and appeal, many men would
willingly risk their lives to protect her.

As for Seth, the remaining Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race also supported him with all their
might.

On the other hand, Eunice, Carla, Valeria, and Lilith actually formed an alliance to make sure that at
least some of them could reach the final round. Moreover, it was also part of the plan that Gloria would
assist them indirectly.

Quentin and Drew, who were disguised as middle-grade Spiritual Emperors, were also doing well to
fend off for themselves.

But since the Godly Geniuses did not trust other candidates, in order to qualify to the last round, they
had to fight alone and display their full strength. Ideally, they already wanted to eliminate as many
Godly Geniuses in this round so that the next one would be much easier for them.

At the same time, behind it all, Rocky was also manipulating the survival battle without really physically
participating in it.

Eventually, three days passed again.

Finally, the fierce survival battle had come to an end. After the thrilling competition, as expected, the
ten high-grade Spiritual Emperors, including Israel, obtained the slots for the final round.



Among the remaining five spots, four of them were filled in by the other Godly Geniuses—Valeria,
Gloria, Quentin, and Drew.

For the last spot, surprisingly, one of the disguised Godly Geniuses was defeated by a human Spiritual
Emperor, who showed such an amazing performance. This was none other than Lilith.

On the other hand, this result was also what Rocky had anticipated. However, to put it bluntly, the next
round was going to be a battle among the Godly Geniuses.

The day right before the final battle, Rocky approached Colton to have a detailed conversation about
his plan.

"So, I assume that you will still return to the Shura Race after the Spiritual Emperor Contest. Am I
right?" Colton asked bluntly. In fact, he had already expected that Rocky would insist on doing what he
should do. But of course, he was also concerned about the young man. Hence, if it was possible, he
did not want Rocky to continue involving himself with the Shura Race.

"Well, I still have to complete my mission as the Godly Genius. This is the only way I can prevent the
Shura Race from invading both the human race and the spiritual race again," Rocky answered.
Previously, Rocky was only concerned to win the battle among the Godly Geniuses in order to get the
qualification to be a deity. But after he had talked with Mikayla and Deacon, he learned that there was a
more profound reason as to why he was chosen as one of the Godly Geniuses. This was so he could
change the current situation in this world and eventually unify the three races. Of course, it was easier
said than done. This kind of unity could not rely on mere force and fear of the stronger one. It should be
formed through the peaceful coexistence of the three races involved.

But if he really wanted that to happen, he needed to become the most supreme existence that was
recognized by the members of the Shura Race—he needed to become their king.

As for how he could accomplish this task, it was what he was preparing to do next.



Therefore, he really had no other choice but to return to the Shura Race.

"I am aware of what you are trying to do. However, if you are really determined to change the current
situation on your own, I'm afraid you'll have to pay such an unimaginable price!" Colton was well aware
of how difficult the situation was. After all, the human race and the spiritual race had been living under
the shadow of the Shura Race for many years now. Even though the two races had stopped fighting
against each other and had been cultivating their relationship, they were yet to have the courage and
confidence to confront the Shura Race.

"Sir, I am also doing this for my own selfish reason. While these actions could benefit the human race,
it really motivates me that I can return to my original world when all of this is over. I cannot wait to meet
my family, relatives, and friends again. So, to put it frankly, I am willing to pay any kind of price just so I
can see the day that I can go back. I have already survived every great disaster there is. Even if I must
meet death face to face again, it won't matter," Rocky said straightforwardly with a burning
determination in his eyes.

"I see. Then, I won't say anything more. Just remember, if you need anything, I will try my best to assist
you!" Colton was also inspired by Rocky's determination, so he made such a promise.

"Thank you very much, sir," Rocky replied with a smile of appreciation.

The following day, the last round of the Spiritual Emperor Contest was finally about to commence.

In this round, the rules were slightly different from the previous ones. After all, the sixteen candidates,
who were deemed to be the strongest among the human race and the spiritual race in all aspects, were
about to battle it out to the extreme.

Hence, in order to provide them an opportunity to display their strength to the fullest, a point-based
system was implemented to identify the top four candidates that would enter the championship stage.



The rules were quite simple. The sixteen candidates would have to continue challenging each other.
Their ranking would be decided according to the points they had obtained through victories or ties.
Then, the four candidates with the highest scores in the ranking list would proceed to the championship
stage.

In other words, each candidate was required to have fifteen matches. This was definitely a high-
intensity and tiresome competition that would push everyone to their limits. At the same time, it could
also be a chance for the candidates to surpass their limits and unleash their hidden potentials.

After the announcement of the rules, all the candidates, except Rocky, showed serious expressions on
their faces. Based on what they heard, they could already imagine the cruelty and difficulty that they
would encounter. Challenging a much stronger opponent would challenge the limit of one's physical
and mental strength. Moreover, there were at least six Godly Geniuses among them, including Rocky.

Only four candidates would be granted the slot to enter the final round. Hence, each of them had to go
all out in all of those fifteen matches in order to earn the spot. They should also be smart in using their
strength in order not to run out of fumes in their later matches.
