"The Hidden Dragon Rankings have been updated!"
"Quick, take a look!"
"What!?" Someone's expression froze, leaving him rooted to the spot.
"What is it?" The long-robed man beside him looked over curiously. When he saw the contents of the display, he too froze completely.
"This..."
"What are you making such a fuss over?" Someone scoffed disdainfully and stepped forward to look. "Could it be that another Celestial has appeared? Even if it's—"
Before he could finish, his whole body stiffened utterly. His eyes widened as he stood there in shock.
"This is..."
The Great Qian Hidden Dragon Rankings covered the Dynasty Territory and all four regions. As the most prestigious ranking among the dynasty's younger generation, every update to the Hidden Dragon Rankings was destined to stir up a certain amount of commotion.
Yet clearly, across the dynasty's thousand-year history, no update to the Hidden Dragon Rankings had ever caused the four regions to quake and every sphere to tremble as this one did.
"Several heavenly talents have broken through together and entered the Martial Dao Celestial realm. How long has it been since such a grand event?"
"When was the last time it was like today? Hidden dragons shining upon the world, golden rainbows stretching ten thousand zhang!"
"The stars are shining together, dazzling the world!"
"A World of Great Strife! A World of Great Strife indeed!"
"..."
The righteous path, the demonic path, the evil path, the Town Pacification Office, the Universe Control Division, the Great Gan Military, renowned sects and great schools, Great Families.
Powerful figures from countless factions watched the changing fortunes reflected in the rankings. Sighing in their hearts, they remained lost in thought through the night.
Rumors of a World of Great Strife had already spread when the previous Hidden Dragon Rankings were updated.
