Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, at the Lake of Life.

Di Tian, Zi Ji, and a host of other Great Beasts gazed up at the firmament with equally solemn expressions.

"Is the ranking about to begin again?"

Zi Ji murmured softly, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.

"The sixth place was already a divine artifact; I fear what is being ranked this time are treasures of the divine artifact level as well."

Di Tian spoke in a deep voice, his golden eyes filled with apprehension.

The endless stream of trump cards emerging from the human world filled him with a profound sense of unease.

Beside him, Gu Yuena watched the direction of Jialing Pass with her quiet, silver eyes.

For some reason, the moment Bibi Dong submitted just now, she had vaguely caught a trace of—a familiar aura?

That aura had vanished in a flash, ethereal and intangible, yet it had caused her very soul to tremble.

Was it just an illusion?

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, suppressing this anomaly deep within her heart.

She cast her gaze back toward the Heavenly Vault Golden List, a flicker of anticipation appearing in her eyes.

If the sixth place was already a divine artifact, the remaining five spots would surely be the cream of the crop among divine artifacts, or perhaps—even true super divine artifacts!

Under the watchful eyes of billions of living beings across the continent, the Heavenly Vault Golden List erupted with ten thousand zhang of brilliance!

A new line of golden characters slowly emerged, shimmering with a deep, oceanic azure divine light!

[Heavenly Vault Golden List, Fifth Place: Sea God Trident!]

[Owner: Sea God, Tang San!]

Aboard the ramparts of Jialing Pass.

Upon seeing that line on the list, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed instantly.

It was actually Tang San.

Her heart sank involuntarily.

An inexplicable sense of worry rose from the depths of her soul.

Not long ago, under the guidance of her Master, she had truly suppressed Tang San with her sword cultivation, one could even say she had thrashed him.

But now, the situation was different.

The rewards of the Heavenly Dao!

If even Bibi Dong, who ranked sixth, could receive such a terrifying boost, what kind of heaven-defying fortune would Tang San, who ranked fifth, obtain?

If his Sea God Trident were to evolve into a super divine artifact—

Would she still be able to handle him?

Qian Renxue subconsciously tightened her grip on the Angel Holy Sword, fine beads of sweat seeping from her palms.

Just then, a calm voice sounded from beside her.

"A mere super divine artifact, nothing worth mentioning."

Qian Ye remained lying on his chair, not even changing his posture.

"The sword in your hand is enough."

Qian Renxue was startled, looking at Qian Ye in surprise.

Her Master—was he still so calm and indifferent?

That was a super divine artifact!

A supreme existence capable of instantly killing ordinary gods!

In his mouth, it had become "nothing worth mentioning"?

And the second half of her Master's words—

Was he referring to the Angel Holy Sword in her hand? Or—

Qian Renxue's gaze involuntarily fell upon the worn, broken sword she wore at her waist.

She was completely bewildered.

On the other side, inside the Shrek Academy tent.

After a brief silence, an eruption of mountain-shaking, sea-roaring ecstasy broke out!

"It's Third Brother!"

"Fifth place is Third Brother's Sea God Trident!"

Ma Hongjun's face flushed red with excitement as he jumped straight up.

"Hahaha! I knew it! Martial Soul Hall is nothing! With Third Brother here, we're guaranteed to win!"

Oscar was so excited that he hugged Ning Rongrong beside him, weeping with joy.

However, Tang San, the person at the center of it all, did not show the wild ecstasy everyone imagined.

Instead, his brows were tightly furrowed.

How is this possible?

My Sea God Trident, the supreme divine artifact left behind by the Sea God, actually—only ranked fifth?

Doesn't this mean there are four other weapons above it?

"San, do not take it to heart."

Master Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, seemed to see through his thoughts and quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Don't forget, you possess more than one divine artifact."

"The Sea God Trident ranking fifth only goes to show that your other divine artifact, the Asura Magic Sword, is ranked even higher!"

"In my opinion, that Asura Magic Sword is highly likely to be the one at the top of the list!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's analysis, Tang San's tightly locked brows finally relaxed.

That's right!

It must be so!

I am the inheritor of dual god positions; the god position of the Asura God is inherently above that of the Sea God!

The Asura Magic Sword must be number one!

Having figured this out, Tang San's mood instantly shifted from overcast to clear, replaced by an even more intense sense of anticipation and greed.

He stared fixedly at the sky, wishing the Heavenly Dao rewards would descend immediately.

Master Yu Xiaogang was also beaming, feeling a sense of reflected glory.

He was the teacher of a god!

Perhaps, in the upcoming reveal, he would also appear, letting the entire continent see who it was that cultivated such a peerless genius!

The others in the tent had already begun to fantasize about a beautiful future.

"Once Third Brother receives the reward, we will march straight to Jialing Pass!"

"That's right! Destroying Martial Soul Hall and unifying the continent is just around the corner!"

"When that time comes, we, the Shrek Seven Devils, will be the legends of the continent!"

Amidst the group's fanatical fantasies, the imagery above the Heavenly Vault finally began to slowly shift.

A vast, ancient voice resounded across the heavens and earth.

[The Sea God Trident was forged by the ancient Sea God using the Vast Sea Divine Crystal over a millennium; it is the symbol of the Sea God's authority!]

Beneath the Golden List, the comments section instantly boiled over.

[A divine artifact forged by the Sea God himself! Too powerful!]

[So Tang San inherited the Sea God's position!]

[What kind of power does this Sea God Trident actually possess?]

Under the gaze of the masses, the Heavenly Vault Golden List continued to display text.

[The Sea God Trident, firstly, weighs one hundred and eight thousand catties!]

As the text appeared, the screen showed a vast ocean, with the Sea God Trident standing silently on the seabed.

And then—

There was no then.

The entire continent fell into a deathly silence.

Countless people widened their eyes, waiting for the follow-up introduction.

But after waiting for a long time, the screen remained on that same ocean, and the text did not change again.

[—That's it?]

[It's gone? The introduction is just that one sentence?]

[So the function of this divine artifact is just... weight? One hundred and eight thousand catties?]

[Did I hear that right? This can be called a divine artifact? The stone mill at the entrance of my village is more useful than that!]

[Laughing to death, this is the fifth-ranked divine artifact? It's simply the disgrace of divine artifacts!]

[The trashiest divine artifact, bar none!]

The comments section completely exploded, with sounds of mockery flooding in like a tidal wave.

On the ramparts of Jialing Pass.

Qian Renxue looked at the scene in the sky, a strange expression appearing on her beautiful face.

This divine artifact—

Is its effect not too singular?

In comparison, her own Angel Holy Sword could not only amplify divine power to an astonishing degree, but it also contained the origin power of the Angel Godhood, possessing infinite marvelous uses.

Was this Sea God Trident, aside from being heavy, completely useless?

"The Sea God?"

Qian Ye, lying on the recliner, suddenly let out a soft chuckle.

"It took him over a thousand years just to barely unify the Sea Clan; he is merely average."

Qian Renxue felt a jolt in her heart and whipped her head around to look at Qian Ye.

Master...

Called the Sea God... average?

To evaluate a deity so nonchalantly, even with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Was Master's identity even more astonishing than she had imagined?

Just then, the image in the firmament changed once again.
