Everyone had been teleported to a field outside the Sacred Land. At some point, a woman appeared at the entrance gate that was slightly elevated, followed by a few other people. Everyone immediately went silent, waiting for her to speak. It was a little hard for those far away to see her, though. The field had to fit the hundreds of thousands of cultivators that had come, after all.
The woman then used her Divine Sense to talk with everyone at the same time. "349 regions, 2131 countries, each country with at least 150 slots while some got up to 1000. In total, we have 780850 participants for this recruitment, and that doesn't count the guardians who came with them. It seems like we're down a few tens of thousands compared to last time."
