Zhongli: The Power Has Returned, and It Is Very Useful

The Sky Screen shifted, and words appeared upon it.

All Sentient Beings held their breath, their eyes wide as they stared fixedly at the Sky Screen.

This was the reward for TOP 1. What could it be?

Even the rewards for the TOP 10 were enough to drive people mad.

Let alone the reward for the Top Spender.

Zhongli Mansion.

Zhongli reclined in his lounge chair, his expression utterly calm, though a flicker of anticipation passed through his amber eyes.

[TOP 1: Rock Demon God—Morax.]

[Reward: Erosion Curse removed.]

"???"

All Sentient Beings were filled with question marks, somewhat bewildered.

The reward for the mighty Top Spender was merely the removal of some Erosion Curse?

Did such a reward deserve the Top Spender's status?

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena sat by the lake, while Di Tian and the others sat not far behind her.

Seeing the reward granted to Top 1 by the Sky Screen, they exchanged puzzled glances.

"In this old bear's opinion, this reward is absolutely perfect!"

Xiong Jun crossed his arms, the corners of his mouth lifting as he spoke.

"?"

Everyone looked at Xiong Jun in confusion.

"Isn't it just some Erosion Curse?"

"What difference does removing it make?"

"Could Morax actually grow stronger because of it?"

Xiong Jun gave a sinister smile and explained.

They did not even understand such a simple principle. He truly did not know what gave Di Tian and Gu Yuena the right to lead the Beast Race to a comeback.

The future was bleak!

"Although I do not know what the Erosion Curse is, I have a feeling that Morax will become terrifying once it is removed!"

Gu Yuena tilted her head, glancing sideways at Xiong Jun as she spoke.

She was extremely satisfied with her own reward. There was no better reward than expelling the Asura God Power.

Unless it was reviving the Dragon God.

If that was how she felt, then Erosion must have been an exceptionally severe affliction for Morax.

With the Erosion Curse removed, Morax's strength would likely undergo a qualitative leap.

They already could not defeat him, and now his curse had been lifted. What were they supposed to do?

One had to know that, for humanity and his people, this Demon God had personally sealed away a former friend!

If they wished to make plans for Douluo Continent, they needed to understand his attitude toward the humans of Douluo Continent.

"Everything Master says is the truth."

"Xiong Jun, you are still far too narrow-minded."

Di Tian's golden eyes turned toward Xiong Jun. The aura of a Level Two God made Xiong Jun tremble uncontrollably.

This left Xiong Jun rather confused.

He had not said anything wrong, so why were Gu Yuena and Di Tian targeting him?

Were they planning to kill the bear after crossing the bridge?

"Hmph~"

Xiong Jun snorted coldly and turned his head away, not daring to meet Di Tian's gaze.

Times had changed.

Di Tian had already become a god. If he said he would kill Xiong Jun, he truly would do it.

After seeing the Ruinous Dragon King's combat power, Xiong Jun's loyalty toward Master underwent a subtle change.

He needs to be properly warned.

Di Tian withdrew his gaze and aura, thinking to himself.

Shrek Academy.

During this time, Blue Tyrant Academy had already replaced its signboard and been renamed Shrek Academy.

Everyone had also moved from the rear mountain to Shrek Academy's cafeteria.

It was rather strange when one thought about it.

The Golden Ranking formed by the Great Universe Consciousness could still be seen simply by looking up, even through walls.

"A curse?"

"Erosion?"

Tang San set down his chopsticks and fell into deep thought.

He did not understand what the Erosion Curse was.

What made him curious was just how powerful Morax would become without the Erosion Curse.

"Could I... really reach that level?"

Tang San had privately asked Yu Xiaogang that question.

Yet all he received in return was Yu Xiaogang's silence.

Twin Martial Souls were blessed by nature and possessed unimaginable potential.

If one was fortunate and strong enough, the second martial soul could very possibly gain nothing but hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings.

A Titled Douluo with nine hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings could be called a god among men without exaggeration.

Yet after witnessing the Hidden Experts, Yu Xiaogang had also begun worrying about Tang San's future.

"Little San, do not think so much."

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's shoulder and looked toward the Sky Screen.

"The Hidden Expert Ranking has ended, yet this Sky Screen created by the Great Universe Consciousness has not disappeared."

"Perhaps other rankings will appear."

"If you make it On the List and receive a ranking reward, it may not be impossible for you to become Morax or even surpass him."

Yu Xiaogang's words were purely meant to comfort Tang San.

Become Morax, or even surpass him?

What a joke!

Not even Twin Martial Souls could accomplish that!

Yu Xiaogang understood Tang San far too well. The boy loved to get stuck in his own head. If Yu Xiaogang did not give Tang San "hope," he might never recover from the setback.

Morax's casual strike is a barrier you can never reach or touch... I only hope that, once you learn the truth, you will not blame your teacher for deceiving you.

Seeing the light return to Tang San's eyes, Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.

Ever since the Sky Screen had appeared, he had been constantly taking notes, recording the information and intelligence of every expert.

As for Morax's information and intelligence, he had analyzed it frame by frame!

This was simply not combat power that a "human" should possess!

Tang San believed Yu Xiaogang's words, and the hidden Tang Hao believed them as well!

Zhongli Mansion.

Having finished receiving his reward, Zhongli felt thoroughly refreshed, as though he had returned to the time just after his reincarnation, incomparably relaxed.

"The power has returned, and it is very useful..."

Zhongli had not expected the Great Universe Consciousness to remove his Erosion!

If the Erosion had not been so severe, he would never have considered abdicating godhood.

"After arriving on Douluo Continent, the Erosion within me stopped worsening, but it did not disappear."

"The Great Universe Consciousness has removed the Erosion. My power..."

"This is becoming more and more interesting."

Zhongli looked toward the Sky Screen as though he wished to see through it completely.

Even at his Peak Period, he could only glimpse the tip of the Sky Screen's iceberg. This made Zhongli understand one truth.

There truly was always someone stronger, and a sky beyond every sky.

"What will you do next?"

It was as though he were speaking to the Sky Screen, yet also as though he were asking himself.

As if answering his question, new words appeared upon the Sky Screen once again.

[Reviewing the Top Ten Famous Scenes of the past, present, and future.]

[Scope of review: all current living beings on Douluo Star.]

[Those On the List may receive rewards!]

The Sky Screen changed once more, plunging all of Douluo Star into a frenzy.

Famous Scenes from the past, present, and future?

This Sky Screen could actually investigate events of the future?

"Wonderful! This ranking has nothing to do with strength!"

"Everyone has a chance to be On the List!"

They had been incredibly envious of the rewards from the Hidden Expert Ranking.

What if the rewards from this Top Ten Famous Scenes List belonged to them?

"?"

Zhongli paused, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Top Ten Famous Scenes?

As though he had recalled something, Zhongli's eye twitched slightly.

Perhaps compared to the rewards, they would regret making it onto this ranking!

A Famous Scene might look "very cool," but it might also be utterly mortifying!

Zhongli vaguely felt that he might also make this list.

After all, when he had been on Teyvat Continent, he had simply had far too many "Famous Scenes."

"If I make it On the List again, can I return?"
