NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 3 - Live Q&A Game Arrives, Immortality Stirs the Heart
Chapter 3 Live Q&A Game Arrives, Immortality Stirs the Heart
The heavenly light screen was truly mystical. Even with rooms in the way, one only had to lift their head slightly to see the display. Deep valleys, underground prisons—nothing could block its sight.
Yet, out of instinct, most people still walked outside, and those with the ability climbed to higher ground. Even the blind could now see, though only within the bounds of the light screen. The moment they looked away, darkness returned.
Thus, across all regions of the Martial World, everyone, regardless of their location, paused whatever they were doing and gazed at the sky.
Amidst the collective anticipation, a divine, authoritative voice, like a celestial decree, echoed as words emerged on the screen.
【Live Q&A Game Has Arrived】
【The first live broadcast will begin in one incense stick’s time】
【The broadcast will feature past, present, and future events from various regions of the Martial World】
【Five lucky participants will be randomly selected to answer questions】
【Correct answers earn rewards; wrong answers bring punishment】
【Rewards include, but are not limited to, divine weapons, secret martial arts techniques, spiritual elixirs, and mythical beasts… even immortality techniques and instant ascension methods】
【Punishments range from losing martial arts abilities, physical disabilities… to outright erasure from existence】
【At the end of each broadcast, the highest-ranking participant receives an extra reward, while the lowest is eliminated】
【Others may choose to continue to the next round or withdraw】
【All participants, prepare yourselves—lucky contestants will be drawn shortly】
As the emotionless, overwhelming voice resounded, silence blanketed the Martial World, as if the world had been muted.
A Live Q&A Game?
A game with real rewards?
Prizes that included immortality and ascension!
Wow~
The brief silence was shattered as the entire Martial World erupted into chaos. From emperors and generals to merchants, beggars, rogue warriors, and righteous heroes—every single person could hear their own pounding heartbeat.
Immortality! Ascension!
Since the dawn of recorded history, countless generations had pursued these very things. Yet, they remained an unattainable dream, forever out of reach.
Those who sought it had all failed. Even when martial arts flourished, when legendary warriors known as Martial Gods could move mountains and split seas, they still succumbed to time. Death was the final fate of all.
But now—this Live Q&A Game claimed that simply by being chosen and answering questions correctly, one could obtain what even Martial Gods had longed for!
How could they not go mad with excitement? At this moment, the Martial World was like an array of erupting volcanoes, spewing endless fervor.
Many confident individuals had eyes blazing red with desire. They didn’t doubt the game’s authenticity.
Something of this magnitude, with such grand claims—even Martial Gods paled in comparison. Clearly, this was the work of the Celestial Beings!
A divine opportunity had descended. They had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance!
As for the penalties for incorrect answers? Apart from those in high positions who were particularly wary of death, few cared.
Risk was a part of life. Compared to immortality and ascension, mere punishments were insignificant!
Especially for the poor, the criminals on death row—they had nothing to lose. Their lives were already at rock bottom. If this was a chance to change fate, why would they hesitate?
At worst, they would die. But if they won a celestial opportunity, they could overturn the heavens and seize destiny itself!

Laughing Proudly in Jianghu State
“Choose me! Choose me! I must be chosen!”
Yue Buqun clenched his jaw, his fists tightly balled. His eyes were bloodshot, and his limbs trembled from overwhelming excitement and tension. His heart pounded like thunder.
It was obvious—this Live Q&A Game could change his entire fate!
If he obtained immortality or ascension, the ‘Bixie Sword Manual’ would be meaningless. Zuo Lengchan? He would crush him.
Huashan Sect would rise to unparalleled heights. He would be renowned for eternity, ruling the martial world!
At this thought, Yue Buqun trembled with exhilaration.

Zhu Wushi stood at the palace gates, hands clasped behind his back. Behind him stood the three elite spies—Tian, Di, and Xuan. His face was flushed as he gazed at the glowing sky.
If immortality was possible, then surely the treasure to revive Su Xin existed as well?
Su Xin. His beloved Su Xin. She had lain in the ice coffin for eighteen years. It had been far too long since he had last spoken to her.
In the icy glaciers, Di Shitian stared at the sky, his eyes flashing with an icy gleam.
Immortality? Ascension?
Hah! I, Di Shitian, am already a living god!
For over two thousand years, he had survived. He wore an arrogant expression—until it twisted with rage. The memory of Wu Wudi, the one who destroyed his Phoenix Blood, still burned in his mind.
Damn him!
______
Meanwhile, throughout the martial world, emperors, sect leaders, and major powerhouses sprang into action. Their subordinates dispersed across the land, monitoring every corner.
With only five lucky participants, the chances of selection were slim.
The best strategy? Cast a wide net.
If someone under their rule was chosen, they would immediately seize control of them. If useful, they would force them to comply.
If useless, they would eliminate them to prevent instability. As for the rulers themselves? Most didn’t want to be chosen. They desired the rewards, but not the risk.
The solution?
Let someone else win the prize… then take it by force.

As countless people waited in tense anticipation, the time of one incense stick passed away. Once again, the overwhelming celestial voice echoed.
