[Famous Scene TOP5 recap concluded.] [Reward: Partial Authority of Geo.]

The Sky Screen shifted, announcing the Top Lister's reward.

The moment this reward appeared, the living beings of Douluo Continent erupted once more.

"Partial Authority of Geo?"

No one knew what this reward was.

The special powers ordinary people could come into contact with were mostly the powers granted by white, yellow, and purple Spirit Rings.

In other words, so-called spirit skills.

Yet this reward was the Partial Authority of Geo!

This was Famous Scene TOP5, yet the reward was not even complete?

New Zhongli Residence.

Zhongli and the Ruinous Dragon King, who had been drinking together, froze and looked toward the Sky Screen.

A moment later, amber light flashed through Zhongli's hand.

The people here did not understand what the Authority of Geo was, but how could Zhongli and the Ruinous Dragon King not understand?

The God of Precious Metals had obtained the Authority of Geo.

After Zhongli abdicated godhood, part of the Authority of Geo had also been stripped from him.

It had affected him, but not greatly.

He was no longer the Geo Archon, but he was still Morax.

The Ruinous Dragon King glanced at the amber light in Zhongli's hand, raised his cup, and drained it in one gulp.

"Old friend, your power has returned."

Without hesitation, Zhongli extended his hand and offered the amber light to the Ruinous Dragon King.

This power should have belonged to the Ruinous Dragon King in the first place.

The Seven Divine Thrones had been formed by stealing part of the power of the seven Dragon Kings.

Only by causing the divine throne to collapse, as Furina had done, could the power belonging to the Dragon Kings be returned.

It was true that Zhongli had abdicated godhood, but the divine throne belonging to the God of Geo had not collapsed.

The Ruinous Dragon King was not a "Complete Dragon."

"..."

The Ruinous Dragon King fell silent for a moment before accepting the amber light from Zhongli's hand.

"Morax..."

"The matter of granting me sight, the matter of authority—I shall never forget them, even should the mountains collapse and the seas flow backward..."

"Rottard, you and I are brothers, are we not?"

Before the Ruinous Dragon King could finish speaking, Zhongli smiled faintly and waved his hand.

At those words,

the Ruinous Dragon King smiled and said no more.

That was right. The two of them were "brothers"!

As the Partial Authority of Geo entered his body, the Ruinous Dragon King's aura surged once again, instantly spreading across the entire Douluo Star.

"I am the Ruinous Dragon King. This is my original form, enough to suppress all things!"

"O Earth, I have returned!!"

With that furious roar, a figure that blotted out the sky and covered the earth seemed to slowly emerge from ancient times and approach the crowd.

His aura was as majestic as mountains and as heavy as the earth.

Merely a phantom was enough to make all Sentient Beings prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

They had previously been able to judge the Ruinous Dragon King's size with their naked eyes.

But now, they could not even see how enormous his body truly was!

So this was the Ruinous Dragon King's original form?

Morax had just obtained a portion of the Authority of Geo, and the Ruinous Dragon King had become a "Complete Dragon"?

If there was not the slightest connection between the two, they would not believe it even if beaten to death!

The Ruinous Dragon King's phantom flashed past, and the entire Douluo Star fell silent once more.

Everyone's state of mind changed, more or less.

Was the Ruinous Dragon King in his complete form really this terrifying?

Then who had extracted part of his Authority of Geo?

Morax was the Rock Demon God.

Partial Authority of Geo...

Complete Dragon.

The world harbored all kinds of thoughts. Countless "conspiracy theories" were born, then promptly dismissed.

The relationship between Morax and the Ruinous Dragon King did not seem anything like what they had imagined.

How could Morax have extracted part of the Ruinous Dragon King's Authority of Geo?

Unable to figure it out, and finding their heads hurt more the longer they thought about it, they simply stopped thinking.

They would wait for the Sky Screen to reveal more!

With so many Famous Scenes, they refused to believe that the Sky Screen would not continue exposing Morax!

Zhongli blinked, his Amber Pupils looking at the Ruinous Dragon King as he fell into thought.

If he remembered correctly, those words of Rottard's seemed to have been spoken by Neuvillette, the Water Dragon King...

No, did they all like to "say" things like that when they became Complete Dragons?

Just as the Sentient Beings pondered, new words appeared on the Sky Screen.

[Famous Scene TOP4.] [Top Lister: Zhongli.]

Seeing the words on the Sky Screen, everyone had long since grown accustomed to it. Not the slightest ripple appeared on their faces.

"It is Lord Emperor again. I guessed right once more!"

"I wonder what kind of Underworld Scene Lord Emperor will bring us this time!"

"You had better mean a Famous Scene!"

In a forest, beneath a waterfall.

Tang San, who had been enduring the waterfall's pounding, shuddered and accidentally fell into the pool.

He stared at the Sky Screen with fury written across his face!

"It is him again, him again!!"

"He is already so powerful. Can't he leave some resources for everyone else?"

Tang San snarled furiously, his eyes bloodshot and his molars nearly shattered from clenching them.

It had been hard enough for him to make the list once, only for his reputation to be utterly ruined.

And he had only been tenth.

In the future, Tang San would be able to become a god!

Could they not recap his future self as well?

Xiao Wu and Tang Hao stood on the shore, looking at the furious Tang San and helplessly shaking their heads.

Recently, Tang San had become somewhat obsessed, changing from how he used to be.

His thirst for power had surpassed their imagination.

Just then, a faint, eerie voice rang out, making Tang Hao and Xiao Wu shudder involuntarily.

"Hehehe... I found you!"

"Who is it?!"

Tang Hao spun around imposingly and looked toward the source of the voice.

The speaker was a handsome young man with a crazed expression on his face, his features horribly twisted.

"H-Huo Yuhao?"

Tang Hao and Xiao Wu froze. They had not expected Huo Yuhao to find them—and he had clearly come with ill intent!

"Huo Yuhao, what are you trying to do?"

Tang San emerged from the pool and stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao.

He was merely a "dog" raised by his future self.

He had not expected him to try to kill his master!

"Tang San, Xiao Wu, Tang Hao..."

"You are the root of every mistake. As long as I kill you, my Dong'er will not become Tang Wutong. To hell with Tang Wutong!"

"My teacher will not die either..."

Huo Yuhao took a step forward and glared. Spirit Rings rapidly rose from beneath his feet.

"If you kill us, your Dong'er will not exist either."

Xiao Wu remained fairly rational. This little fellow liked a part... of her future daughter.

At that thought, Xiao Wu nearly broke down.

What the hell did she mean, a part...

Tang San had really committed a sin!

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao froze, then waved his hand.

"I want you to experience the same pain I did!!"

"???"

No outsiders paid attention to Tang San's group.

On the Sky Screen, a new scene appeared.

Before their eyes was a bustling plaza packed with people, yet the camera focused on two figures.

"Wow, there are so many people!"

"Let's go a little farther forward. We cannot see anything back here!"

After saying that, Paimon flew into the middle of the crowd.

The blond Young Girl also squeezed her way into the crowd.
