In reality, things unfolded exactly as Luo Fan had expected.
Although the Three-Race Alliance's inheritors within the Ancestral God Sect had indeed incited many inheritors to challenge Luo Fan,
there were also many others who wanted to suppress him.
After all, the battle record of Luo Fan's identity as Sky Whale King was truly dazzling.
Quite a few people wanted to step on Luo Fan to make a name for themselves.
Many believed that the reason Sky Whale King was able to kill three Invincible Immortal Kings was entirely due to using a Supreme Treasure domain to grind them down.
Moreover, they also knew that Sky Whale King possessed a Space Worm avatar.
The divine body of a Space Worm was no small thing.
Therefore, the idea that he had used a domain-type Supreme Treasure to grind four Invincible Immortal Kings to death was accepted by many.
For powerhouses who had lived for countless millions or even billions of years,
aside from strength, reputation was also extremely important.
Defeating Luo Fan would not only bring great fame, but also Glory Points.
In the future, they could even boast to others that they had once defeated Sky Whale King.
If Luo Fan were to break through to the Venerable realm later on, that would give them even more material to brag about.
Thus, quite a few people actively issued challenges to Luo Fan.
This kind of situation, where victory brought both fame and profit, naturally attracted many.
In fact, the reason so many people challenged him could be described as a perfect convergence of circumstances.
Because the three races had recently joined forces to suppress the human race, the Original Universe had been extremely lively during this period.
As a result, even more people knew about Luo Fan's matter.
In the past, perhaps not so many would have known.
But now, the entire Original Universe was paying attention to the war between the three races and the human race.
Thus, many people were aware of Sky Whale King's battle record.
Next, the location of the challenges was Glory World, a place they were very familiar with, but one that Luo Fan was not.
Finally, the incitement from the three races also played a significant role.
They even promised additional benefits to those who defeated Luo Fan.
In addition to all that, there was one more crucial factor.
Luo Fan's comprehension of the Beast God Path was at the third level.
In Glory World, challenges were generally issued between inheritors at the same level of comprehension.
Those at higher levels could not challenge those at lower levels.
For example, someone at the fourth level of the Beast God Path could not issue a challenge to Luo Fan.
And on Purple Thorn Island, third-level inheritors were the most numerous.
This was because, within the Ancestral God Sect, Immortal Kings made up the largest group.
Most Immortal Kings, like True Derivation King, were stuck at the third level, at the Perfection stage.
Across the seven Beast God Paths, there were at least tens of millions of inheritors at the third level.
Among them, those at third-level Perfection alone accounted for more than one third.
Luo Fan had become famous only recently.
Thus, these people did not believe that Luo Fan had already reached third-level Perfection.
After all, very few people entered the Ancestral God Sect and directly reached third-level Perfection.
This further boosted their confidence.
Looking at the million challenge invitations displayed in the black book, Luo Fan curled his lips and directly accepted them all.
His purpose in coming this time had been to find people to challenge.
He had even been thinking about how to get others to challenge him.
He had not expected them to be so proactive.
At this moment, Luo Fan even felt as if he were holding a protagonist's script.
He was also very cautious.
Cold Sword King had given him a set of general information on third-level inheritors.
Luo Fan's Mechanical Race avatar instantly analyzed the approximate strength of these challengers.
Thus, Luo Fan first accepted challenges from those whose strength was relatively weaker.
That way, even if he stumbled a few times later, he would still have enough margin.
Seeing the smile at the corner of Luo Fan's mouth, and the black book in his hands still trembling nonstop, Cold Sword King could not help but ask curiously,
"Exactly how many challenge invitations have you received?"
At this moment, the other Hongmeng Alliance inheritors also looked at Luo Fan with curiosity.
Facing everyone's gazes, Luo Fan did not hide anything and spoke directly.
"Although the growth rate has slowed somewhat now,"
"it has already exceeded one million challenges."
"Gasp…"
"A million challenges!"
"From the time I joined the Ancestral God Sect until now, the number of battles I've fought in Glory World hasn't even exceeded a million!"
"The total number of challenges across our entire Hongmeng Alliance doesn't even match yours."
"It's a pity. If Sky Whale King were given some time to adapt, he might be able to use this to earn quite a few Glory Points."
The reactions of the Hongmeng Alliance inheritors varied.
However, very few of them were optimistic about Luo Fan.
At this moment, upon hearing that last remark, Cold Sword King's eyes lit up as he looked at Luo Fan and said,
"Sky Whale King, how about we first simulate Glory World battles in the Virtual Universe?"
"That way, you can get used to it before deciding whether to accept the challenges."
The others immediately echoed the suggestion.
"Good idea. This would let Sky Whale King experience Glory World battles first."
"And if he wins, he'll have more confidence going into the real fights."
"If he loses, he can just refuse for now and accept the challenges later."
Luo Fan knew that Cold Sword King meant well.
So he did not refuse.
Very soon, the two of them disappeared from Glory World.
They had long since added each other as friends in the Virtual Universe.
Thus, they could directly initiate a battle there.
Before long, their fight began.
…
Not much later, the Hongmeng Alliance inheritors noticed that Sky Whale King and Cold Sword King had reappeared.
Moreover, Cold Sword King's eyes were filled with shock and emotion.
There was also a trace of schadenfreude.
"Well, Cold Sword King?"
"You ended the battle so quickly?"
"Who lost?"
Cold Sword King looked at Luo Fan, who was flipping open the black book and accepting challenges, and a trace of gloom flashed across his face.
"I lost."
The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding Hongmeng Alliance inheritors instantly erupted.
"What? You actually lost!"
It must be known that among these Immortal King inheritors, Cold Sword King was considered extremely strong.
He himself was an Invincible Immortal King.
Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, then glancing at the alien inheritors in the distance who were staring at Luo Fan, Cold Sword King could not help but curl his lips into a smile.
"This time, Sky Whale is going to make a killing."
…
In the distance, those inheritors who wanted to challenge Luo Fan had assumed that he would not accept.
When they saw Luo Fan reappear and were preparing to step forward to provoke him, they suddenly saw him accept their challenges.
"Fantastic, Sky Whale King accepted my challenge!"
Hearing this, the other inheritors immediately picked up their black books to check.
At this moment, there were tens of millions of inheritors in the Glory World plaza.
Most of them were at the third level of the Beast God Path.
Those who had challenged Luo Fan were basically all gathered here.
"Great, my challenge was accepted too!"
"Hahaha, this time I'm going to become famous!"
"Sky Whale King accepted my challenge!"
In an instant, exclamations rang out across the plaza one after another.
However, as more and more voices like this appeared, these inheritors gradually realized something.
Luo Fan seemed to have accepted every single challenge.
After learning this, some of the inheritors scoffed, others were puzzled, and some took malicious pleasure in it.
"What's the point of accepting so many challenges at once? After three losses, Sky Whale King's Glory Points will be gone."
"Heh, maybe he's just overly confident and bets all three Glory Points in the first fight, losing them all at once."
"No way. Then wouldn't I never even get a chance to fight Sky Whale King?"
"So who are the three lucky ones that get to fight Sky Whale King first?"
However, some people, after learning that Luo Fan had accepted all challenges at once, began to withdraw their challenges.
As long as a challenge had not been accepted, it could still be withdrawn.
"Something's not right. A powerhouse who has reached this level shouldn't be this foolish."
"To dare accept all challenges, either he's a fool who doesn't know there's always someone stronger, or he truly has terrifying strength."
At this moment, many began to doubt whether Luo Fan's strength was genuinely frightening.
Could it be that killing four Invincible Immortal Kings was not entirely due to a Supreme Treasure?
Among powerhouses who had reached this level, there were plenty of smart individuals.
Those who were more calm sensed that something was off.
After all, inheritors of the human race who could enter the Ancestral God Sect could generally use the Virtual Universe to check certain information about the sect.
That information also included Glory World.
In reality, most major factions could access this information.
Especially the peak factions of the universe.
However, inheritors from smaller races did not know these things.
And within the Ancestral God Sect, the largest number of inheritors came precisely from these smaller races.
The three races primarily incited those powerful individuals at the third level of the Beast God Path to challenge Luo Fan.
After all, they also knew that Luo Fan's strength was certainly not weak.
Thus, they would never incite weaker individuals to challenge him.
Otherwise, how would that be any different from giving Luo Fan free Glory Points?
What they did not anticipate was that, because the identity of Sky Whale King had become famous across the universe under their promotion,
many people wanted to step on Luo Fan to gain fame.
This was also one of the reasons behind the overwhelming number of challenges.
…
Before long, Luo Fan finally finished accepting all the challenges in the black book.
In total, he accepted 1,558,899 challenges.
Because news of him accepting all challenges had spread,
the number of new challenges that came later dropped sharply.
Otherwise, the number might have been even higher.
If Luo Fan could truly fight so many battles,
then it would mean his strength was truly terrifying.
In that case, issuing challenges would only cause oneself to lose a Glory Point.
It must be known that Glory Points were extremely precious.
If Luo Fan could not last very long, then continuing to issue challenges now would be meaningless.
Thus, no one continued to send challenge invitations to Luo Fan.
…
After accepting all the challenges, Luo Fan greeted Cold Sword King and the nearby Hongmeng Alliance inheritors, then directly initiated the challenge.
Because Luo Fan was the one accepting challenges, he could start them at any time.
Of course, there was still a time limit, and he could not delay indefinitely.
The moment Luo Fan initiated the challenge, he disappeared from the plaza.
…
Glory World, Battle World.
At this moment, the environment was a deep sea.
Luo Fan stood in midair, holding a long blade in his hand.
Just then, a Boma Race Immortal King wielding a giant hammer suddenly appeared opposite him.
"Hahahaha!"
"I never thought I'd actually get the chance to fight you."
"Sky Whale King, just obediently become my stepping stone!"
