The number of prodigies from Hong Huang wasn't too high—it was far too low!
Hong Huang had sent out only a mere few dozen Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals!
Seeing how few prodigies Hong Huang had sent,
the Hongmeng Beings were stunned at first, then felt a weight lift from their hearts.
So what if all those few dozen prodigies from Hong Huang made the rankings?
They would only take up a few dozen spots, that was all.
No big deal!
Come to think of it,
the Hongmeng Beings had truly been frightened by Hong Huang.
Not only had all the more than a thousand prodigies it sent last time made the rankings, they had even dominated them.
It was simply ridiculous!
So,
although Hong Huang's prodigies had been slow to appear this time,
they had kept the Hongmeng Beings on tenterhooks.
And when they saw that Hong Huang had sent only a few dozen prodigies,
the Hongmeng Beings were naturally greatly relieved.
But what they didn't know was...
in a strange world filled with towering willow trees,
when a giant willow tree saw the team Hong Huang had sent,
a look of excitement appeared on its face, and it murmured,
"Yuanfeng, Qing Luan, the five Great Elders of the Phoenix Clan, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Houtu, the Twelve Ancestor Witches..."
"Hong Huang has sent out such an extravagant lineup."
"They're planning to defy the heavens!"
Not long after the prodigies of Hong Huang appeared,
the Gate of Invincibility, which had been missing for countless years, gradually lit up, eventually transforming into a resplendent bronze gate.
A tall female figure appeared in the void.
She was none other than the manifestation of the Hongmeng Origin!
The next moment,
a dignified female voice rang out through the Hongmeng heavens...
