"Reviewing the Douluo Top Ten Treasures Ranking?"
Dai Mubai's golden eyes brimmed with curiosity and fighting spirit.
As Shrek's leader, he considered himself well-traveled and knowledgeable, yet he also wanted to know what on this continent could truly be called "exotic treasures."
"When it comes to exotic treasures, isn't it obvious?"
Xiao Wu affectionately linked her arm through Tang San's, her face full of pride.
"My brother's Asura Demon Sword is definitely number one! The Sea God Trident is number two!"
Xiao Wu's voice carried absolute confidence.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in wholehearted agreement.
Indeed, what in this world could be more precious than the divine weapons of Dual God Positions?
A faint smile also appeared on Tang San's face. He stroked Xiao Wu's soft hair, his gaze filled with arrogant contempt for the world.
He turned his eyes toward the Sky Screen again, already feeling somewhat expectant.
This Ranking List seemed to be offering a congratulatory gift to him, the newly ascended master of Dual God Positions.
Meanwhile.
Star Dou Great Forest, core region.
Lake of Life.
The lake was emerald-green like jade, radiating such dense Life Aura that it had practically become tangible. Every drop of water was enough to bring a withered tree back to life.
At the center of the lake, rings of gentle silver light rippled outward.
The water slowly parted, and a peerlessly beautiful figure quietly emerged from the lakebed.
She had long silver hair, like a waterfall formed from moonlight, gently drifting through the emerald waters.
Her skin was fairer than snow, delicate like the finest mutton-fat jade, without the slightest flaw.
As she slowly rose, her flawless, delicate body gradually came into view.
A pair of straight, slender jade legs emerged from the water. Droplets slid down the graceful curves of her calves before falling into the lake, sending ripples spreading outward. Every detail was filled with deadly allure.
She opened her eyes.
They were purple eyes, as deep as the starry sky, yet carrying a trace of bewilderment from having just awakened.
She was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had slumbered for a long time.
"Master!"
A respectful voice rang out from the lakeshore. Beast God Ditian had been waiting there for a long time, kneeling on one knee with utmost reverence.
Gu Yuena stepped barefoot onto the lake's surface and walked lightly toward Di Tian.
Her voice carried a hint of laziness, yet it was as pleasing as heavenly music.
"Di Tian, how long have I been asleep?"
"Reporting to Master, ten thousand years have passed since your last slumber."
Di Tian kept his head lowered, not daring to look directly at Gu Yuena's figure.
Upon hearing that, Gu Yuena merely gave a soft hum, seeming unconcerned.
Her beautiful purple eyes swept across the surroundings as if searching for something.
"Where is he?"
"My husband, Lu Ming—where did he go?"
Di Tian's body trembled slightly.
"Master... Mister Lu Ming left the Star Dou Great Forest not long after you fell asleep. He has yet to return."
Gu Yuena's delicate body suddenly stiffened.
The laziness and calm on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by panic and pallor.
"Ten thousand years?"
Her voice trembled.
"He has been gone... for ten thousand years?"
Overwhelming grief instantly seized her heart, making it nearly impossible for her to breathe.
"My husband... he must... he must have died of old age!"
Tears uncontrollably streamed down from her beautiful purple eyes.
Her Lu Ming was only a mortal!
He was not even a god. A mortal's lifespan was no more than a hundred years.
Ten thousand years were enough to turn oceans into mulberry fields, enough to reduce a mortal to dust within the River of Time.
She still remembered how she had been severely wounded after the Dragon God War, hiding in this Lake of Life and barely clinging to existence.
It was he, that white-clad mortal, who had stumbled into this place by chance.
Using a kind of Life Origin Power she had never seen before, he healed her wounds and pulled her back from the edge of death.
Later, they fell in love.
He had been the only light in her long life as the Silver Dragon King.
But now, that light had gone out.
Time was the most merciless thing in the world.
It had taken away her only beloved.
The immense grief made Gu Yuena sway unsteadily. Her slender jade legs weakened, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Just then, the vast voice and golden light that pierced through heaven and earth descended upon the Star Dou Great Forest as well.
Gu Yuena abruptly raised her head, looking up at the sky through tear-filled eyes.
When she saw the golden Sky Screen, a trace of astonishment appeared in her beautiful purple eyes.
"This Ranking List... even with my current strength, I cannot see through its origin at all."
"Exotic Treasures Ranking? Those who make the list will all receive rewards."
Seeing this, Di Tian hurriedly said, "Master, with your status and strength, you will certainly have a place on this Ranking List!"
However, Gu Yuena slowly shook her head.
The sorrow on her face did not lessen in the slightest. Her eyes were hollow and filled with despair.
"What use are any number of rewards?"
"I only want... to see my husband one more time..."
Jialing Pass.
In stark contrast to the fervent atmosphere at the Heaven Dou Empire camp, the Spirit Hall Empire's side was utterly silent.
Inside and outside the city walls, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
Tattered banners swayed in the bleak wind, while the air was thick with the stench of blood and despair.
The Spirit Hall Empire's top experts had suffered devastating casualties.
Now, only two deities remained, barely holding on.
"..."
Atop the city wall, Qian Renxue stood silently in magnificent golden god armor.
The armor was covered in cracks and bloodstains, and her peerlessly beautiful, noble face was filled with exhaustion.
Even so, she stood perfectly straight. Beneath her golden gown, her slender beautiful legs, wrapped in armor, upheld the final dignity of the entire empire.
She gazed toward the Heaven Dou Camp, a trace of desolation flashing through her golden eyes.
"If only Master were still here."
Her soft sigh was filled with endless longing and dependence.
Her master had been the most important person in her life.
Since childhood, her master had taught her how to cultivate and how to conduct herself.
When Bibi Dong's coldness and cruelty had tormented her until she wished she were dead, it was her master who had stepped forward, fiercely teaching that woman a lesson and holding up the sky for her.
"Hmph, even if your master were here, what could he do?"
A cold voice came from behind her as Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, walked over.
She wore dark-purple Rakshasa God Armor that outlined her mature, voluptuous figure, but her face was full of mockery and disdain.
"Tang San has already attained Dual God Positions. Even together, we are no match for him.
What could your master possibly do if he came?"
Qian Renxue's lips moved, but in the end, she did not refute her.
Just then, heaven and earth thundered, and golden light tore through the sky.
The massive Sky Screen likewise enveloped this blood-soaked battlefield.
"What is this?!"
"Reviewing the Douluo Top Ten Treasures Ranking? There are rewards for making the list?"
Hu Liena cried out in surprise from nearby, as the flames of hope instantly ignited across her seductive face.
