Transported to the 991st level, Gu Ding quickly found the second gatekeeper, Amos, ranked 8,000th.
Amos was slightly stronger than Keith Leske, but only by a limited amount. Four of his Order God Chains had evolved to the Second Level, while the other five remained at the First Level.

The Primordial Ferocious Beasts they evolved had also begun to be some of the fierce creatures on the Ferocious Beast Ranking List.
This time, Gu Ding was finally no longer quite so relaxed. It took him nearly two full minutes to defeat his opponent. Of course, he still had not used divine abilities or Order God Chains.

However, the ferocious beasts she visualized were all formidable existences ranked within the top hundred of the Primordial Ferocious Beast Ranking List.
Facing such an opponent, Gu Ding finally used divine abilities and spent nearly
