"This Prefecture Capital Battle might have three stages in total, yet the first one, the ranking battle, will see more than thirty thousand of the participants already eliminated."

At the same time, the Starfield Selection already eliminated everyone but a dozen participants. If we extrapolate that, we’ll find that it’s quite possible for every single Deity from a starfield to be eliminated from the first stage."
