Chapter 2: The Holy Order of Sanctuary Paradise
After everyone had arrived, the tail hatch of the spaceship slowly closed, and orange-red flames shot out from each engine.
A massive spatial formation appeared above. As the spaceship ascended, the entire vessel rose into the spatial formation.
The spaceship suddenly accelerated and vanished from its original location.
At the same time, at the first stop of the long-distance teleportation, the Starry Sky Transit Station.
An invisible barrier appeared within the station. Numerous contractors stood on the invisible barrier, with the vast starry sky below them.
These contractors were divided into five groups, separated by the invisible barrier. The largest group and the smallest group differed by at least three times or more.
Apocalypse Paradise had the most people, Reincarnation Paradise the least. The remaining three sides had varying degrees of difference.
Reincarnation Paradise side: 257 people.
Sanctuary Paradise side: 283 people.
Death Paradise side: 325 people.
Holy Light Paradise side: 453 people.
Apocalypse Paradise side: 830 people.
Adding up the five sides, the total number exceeded two thousand. This time, the five sides were opposed to each other. Unless a large amount of Space-Time Power aggregates appeared in a certain area, the likelihood of a chaotic battle was low.
On the Reincarnation Paradise side, Amu, Baha, and Beini were all hidden within the crowd, temporarily not showing themselves. As for Bubu Wang, it was blending into the environment, observing the contractors from the other four sides.
Bubu Wang first observed the Apocalypse Paradise side. As expected, with the Wind Sea Continent being a Sixth Rank world and the extremely rare Space-Time Power aggregates appearing, the Apocalypse Paradise side had sent out their Sixth Rank trump card, the Nameless Saint.
The Nameless Saint stood at the very front of over eight hundred contractors. There was no need for a vote or anything; all contractors on the Apocalypse Paradise side tacitly recognized him as their leader. He was their Sixth Rank ace, the former second place and current third place in the Sixth Rank Arena.
Wearing kinetic battle armor, the Nameless Saint stood with his arms crossed, his eyes scanning the crowd of Reincarnation Paradise. After confirming that a certain person hadn't arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was very familiar with that person's aura, and as an opponent, he knew him fairly well. If that man had come, he wouldn't be very conspicuous, but he also wouldn't hide.
After confirming that the man hadn't arrived, the Nameless Saint felt both puzzled and relieved. This World Domination War was secure.
Noticing the Nameless Saint's slightly upturned lips, Bubu Wang yawned and shifted his gaze to the Death Paradise side. The atmosphere there was somewhat oppressive, clearly indicating they were not to be trifled with.
As for the Holy Light Paradise side, it was a riot of colors. Among the 453 contractors, at least two-thirds or more were female, with the rest being male.
Compared to the high morale of the Apocalypse Paradise side and the oppressive atmosphere of Death Paradise, Holy Light Paradise seemed more like they were on vacation. The contractors on this side had already planned to only snatch the Space-Time Power aggregates. As for the World Core, they would let the other four sides fight over it.
Finally, the Sanctuary Paradise side. One look was enough to know that the contractors sent by Sanctuary Paradise this time were not to be messed with. Their attire was uniform, and their divine stick aura was fully unleashed. This time, Sanctuary Paradise had sent a Holy Order.
There was a saying among contractors: if the lone wolves of Sanctuary Paradise participated in a World Domination War, these guys were like huskies among lone wolves—they looked like wolves but couldn't take a hit.
If Sanctuary Paradise sent a Holy Order, that was a different concept altogether. These divine sticks could even deceive themselves, temporarily becoming fanatical believers, fearless for the glory of their god.
In a certain World Domination War, the Holy Order of Sanctuary Paradise clashed head-on with the madmen of Reincarnation Paradise. The result was mutual destruction. In the end, these divine sticks were outsmarted and suffered a crushing defeat. Although they lost, they still displayed the style of Sanctuary Paradise.
Sanctuary Paradise had sent out their Holy Order, which showed how important this World Domination War was.
Compared to the other four sides, the atmosphere on the Reincarnation Paradise side changed. Some contractors were taciturn, some suddenly burst out laughing. They stood or sat, some even playing poker, completely devoid of tension. They had experienced this kind of scene too many times and were long accustomed to it.
"Are those sand sculptures standing there not tired?"
"Which time haven't they tried to show off?"
"True, too stupid. Pair of twos."
"Can't beat that."
"Joker bomb."
"That's going too far."
"What? Got a problem?"
"I don't care that you played a joker bomb, but don't use two big jokers to bomb me!"
Looking around, the other four sides each had their own aura. Only on the Reincarnation Paradise side, everyone was doing their own thing.
"Apocalypse Paradise will win!"
A neat shout came over, attracting the attention of the Reincarnation Paradise side. Suddenly, the faces that had been varied in expression all turned cold. Hundreds of eyes looked towards the Apocalypse Paradise side.
After more than ten minutes, spatial fluctuations appeared within the Starry Sky Transit Station, and the contractors were all teleported away.
After passing through two more stops, Bubu Wang and Baha arrived on a patch of wasteland. Beini and Amu were at another teleportation point in a nearby area.
Due to the large number of Space-Time Power aggregates falling onto the Wind Sea Continent, coupled with the simultaneous spatial invasion by five Paradises, the spatial coordinates of this world had become unstable. To reduce risk, each temporary spatial coordinate could only accommodate the teleportation of a few dozen contractors.
The wasteland where Bubu Wang was located had a steep mountain wall behind it, a winding river passing by its side, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
Meanwhile, outside the atmosphere.
Inside the spaceship, Su Xiao received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise. The content was simple: telling him to prepare to enter the ejection pod. The ejection pod would launch him near a teleportation point. The goal was simple: to eliminate all contractors near that teleportation point.

World Introduction: This was once a paradise for beastmen and humans. Although they looked different, both were human races. So, they established nations here, developed civilizations. Steam, heavy industry, and electricity were the cornerstones of civilization. This was an invisible war and competition. Just as both sides were preparing to advance to a more developed civilization, the Aberrant Beasts hidden deep within the earth awakened.
The cities painstakingly built by beastmen and humans were reduced to scorched earth. Civilization was nearly erased. Both sides were forced to unite. Unfortunately, the power of the Aberrant Beasts could not be countered by technology or strong bodies. It was the power of the supernatural.
When the beastmen and humans were on the verge of extinction, they began intermarrying, concentrating all their resources on biology. On the day civilization was destroyed, the first Half-Beast was born. He was naturally supernatural, a leader, a spark of hope.
