A total of 5,856 participants were divided into 54 rounds, taking turns on a single Battlefield, with each two rounds consuming a total of one hour.
The first Preliminary Round lasted this long, and its scale could rival the Olympics on Aqua Star, appearing even more grandiose. Most of the twenty million residents of Farn County tuned in, with viewership exceeding eighty percent!
During more than ten consecutive promotional events, people of all ages brought their families to participate in this unprecedented gathering.
The Preliminary Round eliminated ninety percent of the contestants, leaving fewer than twenty-six thousand to advance to the next round.
This competition was not just about Insect Beast battles; the surrounding Battlefields formed markets of varying sizes, filled with clothing, spices, Insect Beast accessories, toys, and countless other goods. This significantly boosted local commerce and broadened the horizons of ordinary people.
These once ignorant individuals were rapidly stepping into the new era envisioned by Xiar.
In Xiar's view, the foolishness of the masses was a self-destructive measure taken by imperial kingdoms.
He would not only refrain from keeping them ignorant but would also strive to elevate educational standards and encourage their participation in various large-scale social activities. This way, they could quickly shed their previous medieval ignorance.
While it was difficult to change the older generation, the younger generation and those in their twenties and thirties were much more adaptable. The transformation would occur naturally as they experienced the world's changes firsthand, leading them to learn and evolve on their own rather than being pushed by Xiar.
The world was changing rapidly; the once slow and peaceful life was long gone. People could no longer return to the quiet agricultural era.
The Frenzy growth of plants had turned most fertile land into grasslands or even forests. Only crops like Fairy Beans could compete, aggressively siphoning nutrients from other organisms rather than being exploited themselves.
This crop's high yield and nutritional value required less than one-tenth of the farmland previously needed to meet the food demands of thirty million people. The surplus was reserved for future trade routes or stockpiled as reserves.
Plots of Fairy Bean fields had become semi-private properties for various farmers, leaving ordinary laborers with no choice but to work for them or seek jobs in cities.
If you didn't know how to learn, you were left with no option but to use brute force for menial tasks.
However, with rapid changes in the world and the emergence of transport insects and steam machinery, traditional dock labor jobs were drastically reduced, forcing people to adapt!
Given ten years, Xiar was confident that with the assistance of Magic Web, he could transform all of Farn County into a late twentieth-century Flowering Family society!
But time waits for no one; he simply did not have enough time for gradual change. Thus, he centralized both divine and political power within himself to shape an omnipotent leader image that compelled people to blindly follow his numerous decrees out of reverence.
This model naturally has its pros and cons. Once the leader's image is compromised or a certain policy goes awry, the entire society will suffer a severe setback.
However, at present, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, making it the best choice he can think of.
People have long been accustomed to a fixed lifestyle that has persisted for decades, even generations. Changing this is incredibly difficult; mere education or laws are of little use.
Only by addressing the root cause and adopting a divine persona can he inspire widespread belief, allowing for a fundamental change that occurs almost unnoticed.
Moreover, the ultimate goal of the Beast Fighting Tournament is to realize another ambitious idea of his: to gain the capital necessary to compete with other major powers!
Xiar is willing to significantly reduce the price of Insect Beasts, coupled with various welfare policies and substantial prize money for the tournament, thereby increasing public interest in participation.
Throughout history, talent has emerged from the masses. He aims to select the most outstanding individuals from among so many to serve him!

The Preliminary Round is in full swing, with each battle showcasing various formidable Insect Beasts. Contestants who rank at the top are becoming subjects of discussion and admiration for countless spectators.
These top contenders have a great chance of advancing to the finals, where they will appear in Source City’s Beast Arena, enjoying the honor of having Source Lord personally watch their battles!
Out of twenty million people, only over two hundred fifty thousand are participants, and only one hundred will enjoy such glory—an indication of how prestigious this opportunity is!
In each battle, those dazzling figures are gaining fans who eagerly anticipate their next fights.
Among them are more than ten individuals who shine even brighter, widely regarded as likely to appear in the Beast Arena.
Yura is among them, becoming one of the few powerful female contestants. With her fiery physique and Frenzy fighting style, she has garnered a large following of admirers and is considered a strong contender for the championship, known by her codename Blazing Rose!
However, unexpectedly, when she tried to approach another person, she was met with indifference and rejection.
“Big sister, that guy is so infuriating!” Tracy exclaimed angrily as she watched his retreating figure.
Every step that person took was as consistent as if measured by a ruler, while the silver-gray, strange humanoid Insect Beast silently followed behind.
Earlier, two individuals approached wanting to strike up a conversation, but the other party completely ignored them, walking away as if they had not been seen at all.
This caused many onlookers from a distance to widen their eyes in surprise; they never expected that the renowned Blazing Rose would receive such cold treatment.
"Don't mind it. Once I defeat him, he shouldn't be able to ignore me anymore," Yura said calmly, turning to leave. After watching a few battles, she needed to prepare for her upcoming fight.
For every two battles, 400 participants advanced, and those who qualified would enter the Second Round competition, taking place in a real Battlefield located in the wilderness, no longer confined to the designated arena of missions.
The rules of the Second Round were similar to the first, but with one addition—participants could attack each other!
This rule was a blatant encouragement for mutual attacks because defeating an opponent would grant you half of their points!
As one of the first batch of qualifiers, Yura arrived at the remote mountains in the west on the morning of the third day, riding on a massive Flying Insect Tribe.
This area would serve as the battleground for the 2,400 participants who advanced. Over the course of one night, most would be eliminated, leaving fewer than 1,000 to make it into the top ten thousand.
In this jungle existed various terrifying Radiation Monsters, making it a forbidden zone for previous adventurers; entering meant certain death or severe injury!
But now, as they prepared for the Second Round's Battlefield...
