The Ranking Ends, a Livestream Preview

Beside Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang was recording everything at breakneck speed.

Frame by frame.

This was an unbelievably valuable trove of material for perfecting his theories.

It was just too fucking powerful.

That one slash could probably have destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

At the thought of the seven characters in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's name.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help feeling his eyes grow a little moist.

If he had a tenth of her strength.

How would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have dared to drive him out?

How could he have lost Bibi Dong?

Damn it all.

Why wasn't he, Yu Xiaogang, the one who possessed that power?!

Damn it.

"Are you thinking about that woman again?"

Before Yu Xiaogang could react, Liu Erlong had come over at some point and reached out to grab and twist his ear.

"Erlong, no, no! Ow, ow, ow, ow, it hurts!"

The scene on the heavenly screen continued.

It was still the same purple lake.

Only now, the footage of the lake was playing in fast-forward.

Spring gave way to autumn, summer to winter.

In the images reflected in the lake, a child could be seen playing beside the normal lake nearby!

That child grew from a child into a teenager, then a young adult, married, had children, and grew old.

Clearly, time was racing by.

The images reflected in the lake changed constantly.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that the lake was still purple, and lightning still danced across it.

Occasionally, voices could be heard.

"Grandpa, why can't I play at the lake over there?"

"Child, legend has it that hundreds of years ago, Lord Electro Archon carved out Musoujin Gorge with a single slash."

"There's still lightning left in the water over there. It'll electrocute people."

The people and Soul Beasts of the Douluo Continent: "!!!!!"

If they weren't mistaken, hundreds of years should have passed in the heavenly screen.

Hundreds of years were enough for dripping water to wear through stone.

Yet, over such a span of time.

The power left behind by Raiden Ei's slash hadn't weakened in the slightest.

Raiden Ei like this.

She really was overbearing.

She truly deserved tenth place on the ranking!

Just as everyone thought the ranking was about to end.

The footage slowly rolled on again.

What appeared before everyone was a restaurant in Heaven Dou City. Its name was Raiden Restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, a woman in a purple dress was earnestly cooking.

Everyone in Heaven Dou City who knew the restaurant was full of question marks.

This restaurant was incredibly bizarre in Heaven Dou City.

The food there tasted unbelievably awful.

If someone went in to eat and said the food tasted bad, they would get beaten up.

Wasn't this ranking about her?

Why had Raiden Restaurant appeared??

Text began to appear on the heavenly screen.

"It has been a thousand years since my sister departed, the nation was closed off, and the Traveler arrived and helped me comprehend the true meaning of eternity."

"As the years passed and eras changed, I stepped down from the position of Electro Archon, just like Morax."

"I opened this Raiden Restaurant here in Heaven Dou City."

"For some reason, business is very poor."

"Never mind."

"As long as the desserts and dango milk here are delicious, that's enough."

Everyone was stunned.

That earth-shattering slash had actually been from a battle she fought a thousand years ago.

She had even opened a restaurant in Heaven Dou City.

And she liked desserts and dango milk.

At that moment, the people who had eaten at Raiden Restaurant were dumbstruck.

Cold sweat poured down their backs.

They had actually eaten at a god's restaurant before, and quite a few of them had said her cooking tasted awful.

Fucking hell, thank goodness she hadn't taken offense.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even have known how they died.

Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others were all numb.

Probably numb.

That milk-scented slash which had shaken the world had actually only been from a battle she fought a thousand years ago.

She had already been that formidable a thousand years ago.

How powerful must she be now?

Qian Renxue, who was posing as Xue Qinghe, was numb too.

She had never imagined.

That a living god had actually opened a restaurant right there in Heaven Dou City.

A deep sense of relief also welled up in her heart.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Previously, those nobles and officials had petitioned her to throw the person running Raiden Restaurant out.

She had paid those people no mind.

As for why those nobles and officials had made such a request, that was simple too.

Raiden Ei's cooking was just too fucking awful. If you said it tasted bad, you'd get a vicious beating and be thrown out.

Thank goodness she hadn't offended her!

A thousand years ago, a casual slash from her could have carved out a great gorge.

After a thousand years, wouldn't she be even more terrifying?

With one slash, their Heaven Dou Empire would probably be destroyed.

How about I go try her cooking?

Qian Renxue couldn't help thinking.

Then she shook her head.

She had heard.

That anyone who took even one bite of her cooking would be knocked unconscious for at least a week.

But if she didn't eat her cooking, she couldn't befriend her ahead of time.

Qian Renxue couldn't help finding herself caught between a rock and a hard place.

(The ranking of Teyvat's powerhouses, tenth place, has concluded.)

(Tenth place on the ranking, Raiden Ei, was well deserved.)

(Reward triggered: one resurrection opportunity, which can resurrect anyone without any loss.)

(Ninth place on the Douluo Continent's powerhouse ranking and ninth place on Teyvat's powerhouse ranking will be announced in three days.)

(Preview: the figures in ninth place on both rankings this time are connected to the word "Grandmaster.")

Yu Xiaogang: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster! It's actually connected to the word Grandmaster! Hahaha, I've made it, I've made it! I never thought the day would come when I, Yu Xiaogang, would finally rise above the rest!"

Yu Xiaogang: "Hahaha, even Raiden Ei's reward for tenth place is a resurrection opportunity. Won't my reward be even more incredible?"

Yu Xiaogang: "Just wait, just wait, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Spirit Hall. Once I get my reward, I'll come take revenge on you one by one."

The Douluo Continent's livestream instantly exploded.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Fuck, am I seeing this right? Yu Xiaogang, that piece of trash, might actually make the ranking?"

That remark instantly sparked discussion among most of the viewers, and scrolling comments filled the screen.

"No way. Isn't Yu Xiaogang never going to reach level thirty? How could he make the ranking?"

"But the heavenly screen said ninth place has something to do with Grandmaster. On our Douluo Continent, who else can be called Grandmaster besides Yu Xiaogang?"

"Can someone explain what's going on?"

Yu Xiaogang: "You don't know shit. The heavenly screen already said the ranking isn't based entirely on strength. It also has to do with background, connections, and so on."

Yu Xiaogang: "My disciple Tang San has Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. He's sure to have the makings of a God King in the future. As Tang San's teacher, what's so strange about me making the ranking?"

Nahida (thousand-year cultivation version): "To be fair, that possibility does exist."
