Neuvillette, Ten Million Years of Cultivation! The Golden List Exposed!

Skywater City, City Lord's Mansion.

This place was located at the edge where the far north of Douluo Continent met human territory, yet it lacked any hint of harsh cold or desolation.

Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, a fine drizzle fell—not a gloomy gray, but a clarity that seemed to wash away the dust of the world.

Neuvillette sat behind a wide desk, holding an ancient tome in his hands, his gaze as calm as still water.

He had traversed Douluo Continent for a million years, cultivating until he stood above the God Kings of today.

A million years of time, which would be an eternity of changing landscapes to an ordinary person, was to him nothing more than a long, leisurely tea break.

He rarely took action; the world only knew that there was a Skywater City protecting the peace of the region, but they had no idea what kind of divine being this City Lord truly was.

At this moment, a burst of light footsteps broke the silence of the room.

High heels clicked against the expensive carpet, producing a dull, rhythmic sound.

Before the person could be seen, her fragrance arrived first.

A fresh, sweet scent wafted over, and immediately after, a petite figure leaped lightly to the side of the desk.

Furina.

She was wearing a blue and white dress today, and the iconic top hat on her head was tilted slightly, making her look exceptionally playful.

The heterochromatic pupils in her eyes sparkled with a cunning light as she stared at Neuvillette with a smile.

"What is my husband worrying about?"

Furina tilted her body, sitting directly on the corner of the desk.

Her beautiful legs, wrapped in white stockings, were crossed without a care, swinging gently and stirring up a fragrant breeze.

Neuvillette set down the ancient tome, his gaze landing on her exquisite, pretty face as he shook his head slightly.

"I am not worrying."

"It is merely that the chaos of this world is somewhat noisy."

The outside world had already turned into a complete mess.

The Martial Soul Empire had been established and declared war on the two great empires, leaving the world engulfed in flames and the people suffering.

Although this corner of Skywater City had been safe due to the deterrence of his reputation, it was only a matter of time before it was dragged into the conflict as the front lines expanded.

However, in his eyes, this was truly no more than dust.

At worst, he would simply take action and wipe out those troublemakers who didn't know their place.

Furina hummed softly, leaning forward, her beautiful eyes fixed directly on him.

"Really not worried?"

"I see those little girls from Skywater Academy, and they are all burning with anxiety."

As she spoke, she reached out and naturally rested her hands on Neuvillette's shoulders, beginning to knead them gently.

The pressure was moderate, and her technique was skillful.

Neuvillette relaxed his body slightly, leaning back into his chair and allowing her to perform her not-so-expert massage technique on him.

"What is wrong with them?"

Neuvillette asked, his tone indifferent.

Furina pouted, her hands never stopping, while she spilled the information like beans from a bamboo tube:

"It's all because the Martial Soul Empire is fighting too fiercely."

"That girl Shui Bing'er just broke through to Title Douluo a few days ago, and now she feels like her wings have hardened, shouting all day about going out to quell the war."

"And Xue Wu and the others, none of them can sit still, saying they want to contribute to the human race."

Speaking of this, Furina suddenly stopped her movements and turned her body.

She lifted her long, slender legs and placed them directly onto Neuvillette's lap.

White silk stockings wrapped around her shapely calves; her ankles were delicate, and her toes were slightly pointed.

"Husband, my legs are sore, help me rub them."

Furina acted spoiled with righteous confidence, her large eyes blinking with anticipation.

Neuvillette's expression remained unchanged, as if he had long since grown accustomed to such behavior from her.

He reached out his long, jade-like hand and gently grasped her slender ankle.

It felt warm and smooth to the touch, the texture delicate.

He did not use any soul power, simply using the strength of an ordinary person to gently press on her toned calf.

Furina narrowed her eyes in comfort, like a cat being stroked, and let out a satisfied hum.

"Mmm... right there, a little harder."

Neuvillette followed her request, increasing the pressure slightly, while continuing the topic from before:

"The master leads the way, but the cultivation depends on the individual."

"Since Shui Bing'er and the others have already become Titled Douluo, they have the strength to protect themselves."

"Young eagles must eventually leave the nest. They have their own paths to walk, and if they want to venture out, there is no harm in letting them try."

Although he was protective of his own, he did not intend to raise them like flowers in a greenhouse.

Skywater Academy was something he had established on a whim, aiming to provide a sanctuary for the geniuses in this chaotic world.

Now that they had achieved success in their studies and wished to enter the world to gain experience, it was only natural.

Furina enjoyed the God King-level massage service, the corners of her mouth curling up to reveal a row of pearly white teeth.

"Tch."

"You talk a good game, but I don't know who it was that, last time Shui Yue'er got a little hurt while hunting for a spirit ring, spent the whole night investigating that spirit beast's ancestors back eighteen generations."

"My husband is just protective, yet he refuses to admit it."

She gently kicked Neuvillette's abdomen with her foot, appearing exceptionally bold.

Neuvillette did not stop the movements of his hands; instead, he slid them slightly further up along her smooth silk stockings, kneading the resilient flesh of her leg.

"That is merely the duty one owes as a mentor."

His tone remained as serious as ever, yet the movements of his hands carried a touch of intimacy that only the two of them understood.

Furina's pretty face flushed slightly, but she did not pull her leg back; instead, she snuggled even closer into his embrace.

The atmosphere in the room was perfect, with ambiguity flowing between them.

Just at this moment.

Rumble--!!

A loud noise, not from thunder, but a tremor originating from the depths of the soul.

The sky over the entire Douluo Continent was torn apart in this instant.

It was not shattered, but opened wide.

Endless golden light poured down from the nine heavens, dispersing the overcast clouds and causing the continuous drizzle outside Skywater City to stop instantly.

A vast, majestic, and unapproachable aura instantly enveloped the entire world.

Neuvillette's hand movements paused; he raised an eyebrow slightly and looked out the window.

Furina was also startled; she quickly withdrew her beautiful legs, jumped off the desk, and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window.

They saw that above the firmament, a massive golden scroll was slowly unfurling, blotting out the sky and spanning through the ages.

On that scroll, golden dragons coiled, auspicious energy radiated in thousands of streams, and every pattern contained the profound truths of heaven and earth.

A line of gold-stamped characters slowly emerged at the top of the scroll, illuminating the entire continent.

[Continent Rare Treasure Ranking]

Subsequently, a grand voice exploded in the ears of all living beings, regardless of race or region.

[The Heavenly Dao is clear; the Golden Ranking manifests.]

[All living beings of the Douluo Continent who possess rare treasures may enter the ranking.]

[The first ranking is the Continent Rare Treasure Ranking, which records the top ten rare treasures and strange objects in the world.]

[Those who make the list shall receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and obtain supreme opportunities.]

As the voice faded, heaven and earth fell silent.

A moment later, the entire world was in an uproar.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Neuvillette looked at the sky, his expression devoid of much surprise, revealing instead a hint of indifference.

This Golden Ranking has appeared at quite the right time.

I fear this chaotic world is about to have more fuel added to the fire.
