"Why are you all staring at me like that?!"
Yu Xiaogang felt the strange gazes of the crowd and pointed angrily at the Sky Screen, cursing:
"Whatever I say, this Sky Screen does the opposite. It's constantly contradicting me. Don't you think that's a coincidence? It's obvious someone is playing tricks behind the scenes!"
"Perhaps it's some bastard who is jealous of my theoretical achievements, using special means to create this Sky Screen to smear me in such a despicable way!"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Zhao Wuji almost laughed out loud.
They had supported Yu Xiaogang when he previously claimed the Sky Screen was a fabricated, unofficial list.
After all, seeing is believing; there were many things they hadn't witnessed personally, so they naturally had their doubts.
But now that Yu Xiaogang was claiming the Sky Screen was targeting him specifically, it was becoming somewhat ridiculous.
Even Flender, who had always supported him, fell silent at this moment.
"Teacher, I believe you!"
Only Tang San stepped forward, standing firmly by Yu Xiaogang's side.
Under the helpless gazes of the others, Tang San stared at the Sky Screen with killing intent in his eyes and whispered a furious rebuke:
"I will definitely drag out the creator behind this Sky Screen. Daring to smear my teacher like this—you have already invited your own death!"
Yu Xiaogang, standing nearby, heard these words clearly and patted his shoulder, moved:
"Good! You are worthy of being my disciple. I will surely exhaust all my life's learning to cultivate you into a peerless powerhouse!"
In the distance, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu felt nothing but ridicule upon hearing this.
Afterward, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Sky Screen again, a hint of worry inevitably rising in her eyes.
With only the last five factions left to be revealed, would she be able to find a suitable one among them?
Extreme North.
Bingdi, Xue Di, and the others were discussing how to locate the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.
Seeing the newly revealed ranking on the Sky Screen, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise:
"A sea soul beast approaching a million years! To think the ocean holds such a powerful existence!"
They had always lived in the Extreme North, occasionally learning about the situation on the continent from the outside world.
But they had never been to the distant ocean, so their knowledge of it was minimal.
The Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, couldn't help but open his mouth wide, looking at Xue Di, who had raised him, and asked:
"Mom, if that guy receives a heaven-sent reward and breaks through to a million years, what kind of concept would that be? With your current cultivation of seven hundred and ten thousand years, can you contend with him?"
Xue Di's white hair fluttered in the cold wind as she shook her head:
"If he breaks through to a million years, he may have already touched the threshold of godhood. I admit I am certainly no match for him."
"Hmph."
Seeing Xue Di lower her own morale, Bingdi's crystal-like eyes were filled with pride:
"Looking at the evaluation, that Deep Sea Demonic Whale King only relies on the power of devouring to rapidly increase his cultivation. Once we find the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, we can also use the supreme treasures within to rapidly increase our cultivation. By then, Xue'er, you might not necessarily be unable to surpass him!"
Xue Di nodded, yet shook her head helplessly, her gaze sweeping across the boundless ice field:
"The Extreme North is so vast that finding it is no different from finding a needle in a haystack, but let us proceed with the original plan and try to search. If we gain nothing, we will seek other methods. The exposure of the Extreme North will inevitably attract the attention of human powerhouses. We cannot remain as dormant as we have in the past; we must find the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave to increase our strength and respond!"
Star Dou Forest, Life Lake.
In the small world below, within the silver-white crystal palace.
Ripples appeared in Gu Yuena's purple eyes as she looked at Di Tian and questioned:
"Di Tian, I recall you went to the ocean twenty thousand years ago. Why did you never mention that the ocean held an existence of this level?"
Di Tian knelt on one knee, his tone filled with unbelievable shock:
"My Lord, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King at that time only had twenty-seven or twenty-eight thousand years of cultivation. Because he tried to stop Poseidon from conquering the ocean, he had one eye blinded. Seeing that he was nothing special, I didn't take it to heart. I never expected that in just twenty thousand years, he would reach such a level through the power of devouring!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and said with slight surprise:
"In that case, it is indeed astonishing. Now, with this heaven-sent reward, he has reached the realm where he can become a god. It is a pity, however, about the restrictions of the God Realm."
At this moment, the always combative Xiong Jun couldn't help but ask:
"My Lord, if that Deep Sea Demonic Whale King breaks through to a million years, who would be stronger between him and me?"
The other fierce beasts also turned their gazes toward her upon hearing this.
They were equally curious about just how high his strength had reached.
Gu Yuena glanced at him, then looked at Di Tian, and said indifferently:
"Never mind you; even if Di Tian did not use a divine skill like the Dragon God Claw, he would absolutely be unable to defeat the opponent in the ocean."
Hearing this, all the fierce beasts were shocked to their cores.
Wan Yao Wang stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Lord, since that is the case, why don't we try to recruit him into our camp to fight against humanity together? With your divine might, he will surely be willing to submit!"
Gu Yuena nodded, her gaze returning to the Sky Screen as she said indifferently:
"Let's wait and see. As the Sky Screen Power Ranking is revealed one by one, there might be other hidden, powerful soul beasts. We can deal with them all at once then. Perhaps, when our Star Dou Forest takes the top spot, they will come to us on their own."
Sea God Island, in front of the Sea God Hall.
The seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo looked at the Sky Screen and then turned to Bo Saixi, asking anxiously:
"Great Priest, that villainous Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has made the list. What should we do?!"
"A million years! It is said that is the threshold for a soul beast to become a god. If he truly becomes a god, how can we possibly contend with him?!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark who had been rushing over, arrived, panting urgently:
"Lady Bo Saixi, Sacred Pillar Guardians! The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is about to break through a million years! What are we going to do?!"
Facing their panic, there was not a ripple in Bo Saixi's eyes as she said calmly:
"Do not panic. Lord Sea God left instructions twenty thousand years ago that the God Realm absolutely forbids soul beasts from becoming gods. Even if the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King breaks through a million years, he cannot become a deity. Furthermore, our Sea God Island is protected by the divine sense left behind by Lord Sea God, so there is nothing to fear."
The group remained somewhat worried:
"But it is a million years after all; his strength will surely increase significantly. What if..."
Bo Saixi remained calm, her gaze drifting toward the Sky Screen on the horizon as a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes:
"Don't forget, our Sea God Island has yet to appear on the list. What if we also make the list and receive heaven-sent rewards? Given the foundation of our Sea God Island, looking across the continent, I fear only the Martial Soul Hall can compete with us."
Once these words were spoken, the eyes of the group lit up, and they exclaimed with joy:
"That's right! We haven't made the list yet. Once we receive the rewards, the situation might just reverse, and it will be the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's turn to fear us!"
As they spoke, the group couldn't help but ponder the second half of the Great Priest's words, looking toward the direction of the continent with disdain:
"Martial Soul Hall? Those wretches who led a massive army to attack our Sea God Island back then, only to be beaten into a pathetic retreat—do they deserve to compete with us for the ranking?"
"Our Sea God Island will surely secure the number one spot on the Power Ranking!"
In an instant, the anxiety on Sea God Island was replaced by confidence and anticipation.
Everyone stared intently at the Sky Screen, waiting for the revelation of the top spot that belonged to Sea God Island.
The ocean, Demonic Whale Sea Area.
"How is this possible! How could this king's ocean not even make the top five!!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's scarlet single eye stared at the Sky Screen above, roaring with unconcealed unwillingness.
His wife, the Demon Empress, was equally astonished, as was his daughter, Lan Fozi, not far away.
Under his unwilling roar, a golden pillar of light descended from the Sky Screen above, instantly enveloping him.
"Boom--!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King felt energy surging into his body continuously and immediately realized this was a heaven-sent reward, his anger instantly turning into joy:
"Finally, the moment has finally arrived. This king is about to break through a million years! Once I become a deity, no one in this world will be my match again. Hahahahaha!"
