Golden Ranking Second Revealed! Eternal Life Pendant! Ancestor Lu Ming!

"The Ancestor's return this time... I wonder if it's truly a good thing or not..."

Though this last sentence was spoken softly, it reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity.

"Silence!"

A sharp rebuke cut off the elders' murmurs.

Ye Lingling turned around, her delicate brows tightly knit, that elegant, refined face now brimming with anger.

"Elders, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

"Just because we fear that Tang San, are we supposed to let the Ye Family be bullied by someone like Tang Hao, even offering up our own women for him to trample?!"

Her voice was not loud, but every word struck like a hammer.

"Our Ye Family has passed down ten thousand years, always treating others with kindness, befriending allies across the continent, with deep foundations—are we really afraid of a mere Shrek?!"

"What's more, the Ancestor has now returned! No matter what happens, the Ancestor will decide for us!"

Her words were filled with absolute trust in Lu Ming.

"That Tang Hao is nothing but a beast through and through! He deserved to die! The Ancestor did well in killing him!"

This tirade left the several elders red-faced and speechless.

Ye Lingling paid them no further heed. She turned to face Lu Ming, and the anger on her face instantly transformed into utmost reverence and adoration.

She gestured toward the depths of the courtyard, toward the main seat that symbolized the Ye Family's highest authority.

"Ancestor."

Her voice was soft and devout.

"Please, take your seat!"

At these words, the pale-faced elders shuddered, daring not to speak further, and lowered their heads one after another.

They knew that from this moment on, the true master of the Ye Family had returned.

Lu Ming's expression remained calm, and he did not immediately rise.

He merely cast a faint glance at the bloodstained ground, as if pondering something.

Yet, just as the atmosphere within the Ye Family Mansion grew delicate due to this sudden upheaval—

Boom—!

A vast, boundless roar came from the Nine Heavens Above!

This sound was not thunder, yet it was grander and more majestic than thunder, as if the very rules of the world were being shaken.

Everyone in the courtyard—whether the reverent Ye Lingling, Ah Yin kneeling on the ground, or the trembling elders—could not help but look up toward the sky.

There, the Golden Ranking that had already displayed the Exotic Treasures Ranking was now radiating an even more dazzling golden light than before!

Golden light cascaded down like a waterfall, dyeing the entire world in a sacred hue of gold.

A new ranking was about to appear!

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

The lake water was as green as jade, exuding a dense, almost tangible Life Aura.

A figure of Peerless Beauty floated silently above the center of the lake.

She had silver hair as bright as moonlight, flowing softly behind her down to her ankles.

Her Purple eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if containing the mysteries of the universe's birth and destruction.

Her features were flawless, without a single blemish, and the two opposing auras of holiness and allure were perfectly fused within her.

This was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had just awakened after ten thousand years of slumber.

At this moment, she was gently stroking an ancient, emerald-green pendant in her hand.

The pendant's material was neither metal nor jade, warm to the touch, carved with profound and ancient patterns, radiating a faint halo of life.

"..."

When the Golden Ranking in the sky lit up once more, a flicker of surprise passed through Gu Yuena's beautiful Purple eyes.

Barefoot, her feet as white as jade, her long, slender legs reflected an ivory luster in the lake's glow.

That breathtaking silhouette could drive any Deity to madness.

She lifted her face of Peerless Beauty, capable of captivating all beings, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled upward, forming a heart-stirring, faint smile.

"This aura... it's his thing."

Gu Yuena murmured softly, her voice ethereal and melodious, like a heavenly sound.

The next moment, upon the Golden Ranking in the sky, lines of even more magnificent golden characters slowly emerged.

When the final line of text appeared, the entire Douluo Continent, and even the God Realm, fell into a deathly silence!

Immediately after, an endless cascade of golden divine light poured down from the Golden Ranking.

It condensed into a pillar of light that pierced heaven and earth, landing precisely on the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, completely enveloping Gu Yuena's figure!

[Reward Distribution: Master Gu Yuena, Soul Power increased by eight levels, reaching the God King Realm!]

Boom—!!!

A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of a Deity, erupted from within Gu Yuena!

Her silver hair billowed without wind, and divine light swirled in her purple eyes, as if stars were being born and extinguished within them!

Atop the city wall of Jialing Pass.

The atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stood side by side, the presence of these two peerless empresses leaving even the surrounding Titled Douluo afraid to breathe loudly.

When they saw the description of the Eternal Life Pendant on the Sky Screen, even their steadfast hearts couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

"Eternal Life Pendant?"

Qian Renxue's golden eyes were filled with shock.

"The functions of this pendant... are far too powerful!"

She murmured to herself, a tremor in her voice.

"Endless Life, Immunity to All Laws, Fortune Bestowed... and even... even capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a God King Realm powerhouse!"

Bibi Dong's dignified and graceful face also bore a look of utter astonishment.

As the Rakshasa God, she knew all too well what a terrifying existence a God King was.

That was the supreme Main God standing at the pinnacle of the God Realm!

And this tiny pendant could actually block a full-force strike from such an existence!

"This is simply... beyond imagination!"

Bibi Dong's voice was hoarse.

"A Super Divine Artifact... so the end of divine artifacts is the Super Divine Artifact!"

Qian Renxue sighed, "I truly wonder who the master of such a heaven-defying treasure could be. To possess this is an immense stroke of luck."
