[Famous Scene TOP 8.] [On the List: Zhongli.]

The Sky Screen shifted, and its majestic voice once again rang in the ears of every living being on Douluo Continent.

The Sentient Beings were first stunned, then erupted into an uproar.

The protagonist of Famous Scene TOP 9 had been Zhongli. Why was TOP 8 him again?

This Rock Demon God--Morax, over the course of more than six thousand years...

Just how many deeds had he left behind that were worthy of being defined as "Famous Scenes" by the Sky Screen?

As for this Famous Scene ranking, most powerhouses had scoffed at it.

For the sake of a few rewards, they would embarrass themselves before two continents and let every living being know...

It was better to forget such a thing.

Of course, though they said so aloud, they also wanted to be On the List.

After all, the Sky Screen's rewards were incredibly tempting.

That thought passed in an instant, and everyone's attention immediately returned to TOP 9's reward.

"Remove the curse of God loves all beings." Those few words stirred towering waves in humanity's hearts, leaving them uneasy and fearful.

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

The atmosphere within the hall was exceptionally heavy. Several Titled Douluo exchanged looks, their faces filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"God loves all beings... is actually a curse?"

Ghost Douluo Ghost spoke in a voice filled with disbelief.

Normally, he looked ghostly and forbidding, as though no stranger should approach him.

Yet at this moment, he seemed like a helpless ordinary person.

"The Sky Screen's reward is to remove this curse?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan frowned deeply.

His drake-like voice was not pleasant to hear, but no one present cared.

They had grown used to it.

God loves all beings should have been the foundation of faith.

Yet in the eyes of the Sky Screen and the Demon God, it was actually a curse, a shackle that bound oneself?

After a moment of silence, everyone's expressions turned grave again.

They had not known what "camp" Zhongli belonged to before.

From the Sky Screen, they could roughly guess that Zhongli was more inclined toward humanity.

But after removing the curse of "God loves all beings," would he still love humanity?

Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope's throne, gripping the Pope's scepter as she quietly watched the Sky Screen.

As for the commotion and arguments below, they seemed to have nothing to do with her.

After a while.

A cold and majestic voice shattered the silence, suppressing all discussion.

"Silence!"

"The Pope's Palace is not a place for your disputes."

After hearing this.

The hall instantly fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The gazes of Ghost, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the other Titled Douluo all fell upon Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's crimson lips parted slightly, her voice calm and without fluctuation.

"Whether the curse is real or not, whether it is removed or not."

"Rock Demon God--Morax himself transcends mortal understanding."

"Whether he favors humanity, no one knows..."

At this point, Bibi Dong paused and looked at the Titled Douluo below.

"If one day he becomes our enemy..."

Bibi Dong did not continue, but none of those standing below had any problem with their intelligence.

They all understood what Bibi Dong meant.

If Zhongli became their enemy, no one on the entire Douluo Continent could stop him!

Even if humans and Soul Beasts joined forces, they would not be this man's match.

Seeing that the Titled Douluo had finished thinking, Bibi Dong continued.

"No one can stop the might of the Geo Lance, and no one can bear the weight of Skyward Star."

"Rather than worrying ourselves sick here, we should each perform our duties and do what must be done..."

"Before darkness erupts, Spirit Hall's order must not fall into chaos."

"Lastly, leave it to fate."

Bibi Dong's words were cold and realistic.

The Titled Douluo's expressions changed again and again.

Before the Sky Screen appeared, when had they ever been in such a predicament?

The Sky Screen had exposed the Hidden Experts and greatly strengthened them.

Although two people from Spirit Hall were On the List, they were only ninth and tenth, the lowest ranks.

They appeared to have been strengthened, yet the gap between them and the peak powerhouses had only grown wider!

"We obey His Majesty the Pope's decree!"

With heavy hearts, everyone quietly withdrew from the Pope's Palace.

At that moment, they seemed to understand the despair of Liyue's Demon Gods when facing Morax and the Ruinous Dragon King!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Council Hall.

Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin also wore grave expressions.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was too close to Heaven Dou City, too close to Zhongli!

Should this God who had removed the curse undergo any change, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou City would be the first targets.

Chen Xin sat to Ning Fengzhi's left, his sharp gaze carrying a question as he looked at Ning Fengzhi.

Gu Rong likewise cast him an inquiring look.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was the sect master and also the smartest.

They hoped Ning Fengzhi could come up with a plan.

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

His refined and easygoing face was filled with helplessness.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, I have no solution either."

"You both know Lord Emperor's strength."

"Before such an existence, we can only leave it to fate..."

What gave Ning Fengzhi some relief was that not long ago, he and Chen Xin had visited the Geo Archon.

Before the "curse" was removed, Zhongli's attitude had been fairly mild.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, each seeing the worry in the other's eyes.

Entrusting the sect's continued existence to a God's "mood" was truly an awful feeling.

"After some time, I'll pay Lord Emperor another visit."

Ning Fengzhi knew what the two were thinking, but what else could he do?

Forget that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was merely one of the Top Three Sects. Even if the Top Three Sects were united, together with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Such a force would make even Spirit Hall avoid them.

But to Rock Demon God--Morax, it would only take a rain of Geo Lances, effortless as blowing away dust!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong nodded. At this point, they could only test that man's intentions.

Heaven Dou City, Zhongli Mansion.

Qian Renxue sat across from Zhongli with feigned composure, occasionally lifting her teacup for a sip to conceal the unease and anxiety in her heart.

From the corner of her beautiful eyes, she watched Zhongli. After some time, she discovered that Zhongli, after removing the curse, seemed no different from before.

Her anxious heart finally settled somewhat.

Zhongli seemed not to sense Qian Renxue's unease and tension.

He merely set down his teacup gracefully and calmly turned his gaze toward the Sky Screen.

He understood Qian Renxue's feelings at this moment, but he had no desire to explain anything.

Perhaps this could spare him much unnecessary trouble.

Above the Sky Screen, the image shifted.

While the Sentient Beings harbored different thoughts, immersed in the shock and suspicion brought by the removal of the "curse."

The Sky Screen's content quietly advanced to TOP 8's presentation.

A soft, childish voice filled with obvious displeasure was the first to break the silence.

"Is there any difference between three million and two million nine hundred ninety thousand?"

The adorable Unidentified Flying Object--Paimon puffed out her cheeks, planted her hands on her hips, and appeared in the center of the screen in a huff.

Clearly, she was extremely dissatisfied with this so-called "discount."

The scene slowly shifted, focusing on the handsome, composed man beside her, dressed in Wang Sheng Tang's everyday attire.

Only the legendary readers could barely contend with such handsome looks.
