Countless Geo Lances stood embedded in The Chasm like tombstones.

Skyward Stars, radiant as suns, rained down without end.

The two "people," one large and one small, appeared utterly mismatched in size, yet they traded blows with great intensity.

The Ruinous Dragon King's combat power completely reshaped the worldview of the living beings of Douluo Continent!

The Rock Demon God—Morax—was already strong enough, yet his companion, the Ruinous Dragon King, proved to be just as formidable!

Just how fucking despairing must the other Demon Gods of Liyue have been!

Only the Dust Demon God... perhaps other Demon Gods had allied themselves with Morax as well.

The battle on the Sky Screen continued. No one knew how long they had fought.

They had forcibly turned the entire rock layer into a massive chasm!

A trace of clarity flashed through the Ruinous Dragon King's wildly furious eyes before he was ultimately struck down by a Skyward Star.

After knocking the Ruinous Dragon King down, Morax did not continue attacking. He merely looked at him, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Rottard..."

After a long while, Morax dragged the Ruinous Dragon King by the tail and walked in a certain direction.

A deep trench was carved across the ground in his wake.

"They were companions in the end. Both sides held back..."

The powerful naturally caught the momentary clarity that flashed through the Ruinous Dragon King's eyes at the critical moment.

At that moment, the Ruinous Dragon King gave up resisting and allowed the Skyward Star to knock him down.

And Morax did not treat the Ruinous Dragon King the way he had treated the other Demon Gods.

After knocking him down, he stopped attacking.

Still, the sight of him dragging the Ruinous Dragon King along was somewhat...

Well, how should they put it?

A little inhumane!

Then again, Morax had never been human to begin with...

When the Sentient Beings saw Morax personally seal away his former friend, his body trembling slightly even as he forced himself to remain composed, they felt a complicated emotion rise within them.

At that moment, the Sky Screen suddenly went dark, and lines of text appeared before the world.

[The Morax reviewed by this Great Universe Consciousness is merely the tip of Morax's iceberg.]

"???"

The living beings of Douluo Continent had only just recovered when their minds were once again filled with question marks.

The Sky Screen had spoken!

And why did its words sound so horrifying?

The Morax it had reviewed was merely the tip of the iceberg?

Did it even hear what it was saying?

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Liu Erlong was discussing with Flender the matter of changing Blue Tyrant Academy's name to Shrek Academy.

When she heard those words, she could not help looking toward the Sky Screen.

"Damn it... and that was only the tip of the iceberg?"

"If he truly got angry, wouldn't one strike be enough to sink Douluo Continent?"

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, speaking in astonishment.

Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Such a terrifying existence was simply not something ants like them could contend with.

The Golden Iron Triangle probably would not survive even one casual move from him!

"Old Zhao, this isn't something ants like us should concern ourselves with."

"Whether the Sky Screen appears or not, life still has to go on!"

"Our top priority now is to train those little monsters into capable adults, not stare at powerful beings or their rewards."

Flender patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"That's true. With our strength, we couldn't even withstand the aftershock of their battle."

Zhao Wuji nodded deeply in agreement and continued.

"Once Tang San and the others graduate, I'll retire at Shrek Academy. The fighting and killing of the Soul Master world will have nothing to do with me anymore."

"Oh, come on, how old are you? Why are you talking about retirement?"

"Keep working hard for another thirty years!"

"???"

Zhao Wuji turned to look at Flender, his face utterly blank.

"Flender, I've worked for you for over ten years without seeing a single Gold Soul Coin, and now you want to squeeze another thirty years out of me?"

"I'm leaving right now!"

"Hey, don't go! Everything's negotiable. This time, your salary will definitely be paid in full!"

Just then, the text on the Sky Screen changed slightly once more.

[TOP 1: Morax. Review complete.]

The conclusion of the Top Spender's review left the Sentient Beings unable to recover for a long time.

The content revealed by the Sky Screen had simply been too shocking.

Not only did Douluo Continent have several Level 99 human powerhouses,

it also had Soul Beast experts hundreds of thousands of years old.

There were even God Tier beings hidden within the Star Dou Great Forest.

But beyond all of those powerful beings, the most shocking figure was the Rock Demon God—Morax!

They had witnessed the Demon Gods forge contracts and establish a nation.

They had also witnessed the war between Demon Gods, as well as Morax's arrogance and wild defiance.

They had even seen Morax fall out with an old friend...

What puzzled them most was that Morax had abdicated godhood and become a human—Zhongli.

Why had he handed over his authority?

How were they supposed to face this former Demon God powerhouse?

"So, I still lost in the end..."

Di Tian sighed, his voice filled with emotion.

Morax was simply too powerful.

Even though Di Tian was now a Level Two God, he still did not dare face Morax directly.

The Ruinous Dragon King had been dragged away, clearly to be sealed in the place where Morax and the others had gathered.

"Di Tian, you..."

Gu Yuena paused halfway through her words.

She had initially wanted Di Tian to leave Douluo Continent and search the cosmic starry skies for Liyue, rescuing the Ruinous Dragon King along the way.

But the universe was so vast that finding Liyue alone would be far too difficult.

Not to mention that a Level Two God would struggle to accomplish it, even a Level One God or a God King would find it difficult!

Such a task would serve no purpose beyond putting Di Tian in an awkward position.

"Master?"

"Forget it. Now is not the right time to rescue the Ruinous Dragon King."

Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged as she spoke.

The Ruinous Dragon King was certainly not dead. Morax had likely sealed him away.

What she needed to consider now was how to deal with Morax.

She needed to understand Morax's attitude toward Soul Beasts.

She also needed to understand what Morax thought of the humans of Douluo Continent.

As though she had thought of something, Gu Yuena looked toward Sea God Island.

Perhaps she could use the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to probe him.

The moment the Sky Screen went black, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King on Sea God Island could no longer wait to make his move.

He gripped the Sea God's Trident and, without using any skills, smashed it directly toward Tang Chen and Bo Saixi.

No matter how strong Level 99 was, it was still only Level 99.

No matter how weak Level 100 was, it represented a new level of life entirely, something Peerless Douluo at Level 99 could not compare to.

Seeing this, Tang Chen and Bo Saixi hurriedly met the attack, prepared to fight to the death.

But sometimes, even if the fish died, the net would not necessarily break!

Beyond Sea God Island, there was something else the Sentient Beings were concerned about: what would the Top Spender's reward be?

It most likely would not be cultivation, since he was already powerful enough.

Meanwhile, at Zhongli Mansion.

Zhongli reclined in a lounge chair, his gaze fixed on the Sky Screen. He too wanted to know what reward the Sky Screen would grant.

The Sky Screen's voice rang out once more, bringing with it a reward that belonged to Zhongli... Morax!
