"Sky Screen?" Deep in the void somewhere, Old Beast God looked up at the sky. "I, Starry Sky Progenitor, have mastered the Eight Beast God Paths, and my combat strength is unmatched! I'm sure to make the ranking!"
Deep in the starry sky, Old Beast God stared at the ranking, his eyes shining.
As the one who had unified the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance and successfully driven out Beast Ancestor, Old Beast God was confident his combat strength was more than enough to rank among the strongest of the Third Reincarnation Era!
So he was certain to make the ranking! And not just that—he'd place near the top and claim a generous reward!
"Sky Screen?!"
"This is my chance—my opportunity!" Beast Ancestor, covered in dark golden scales and hiding in some secret realm, suddenly grew excited.
"Hmph. I may not have a supreme treasure, but this time they're judging us without considering treasures! My level isn't low, and my combat strength is no slouch either. I can definitely surpass those two fools in the Monster Race and that Old Beast God! Just you wait. I'll prove that I'm the true Beast Ancestor!"
Demon Race Territory.
Within the Dream Ancestor Secret Realm.
A silver giant serpent and a Serrated Shell Beast watched the enormous ranking in the starry sky.
"Meng Cha, this is our opportunity! Our chance to unify the Primal Universe!" Tremor Demon Ancestor, whose body was covered in a serrated shell, said gravely. "You and I are the strongest in the universe among the Monster Race. If we both make the ranking, our rewards will stack, and we'll have the advantage!"
"You're right, Zhen Jiao. With the two of us working together and the aid of this mysterious Sky Screen, the Monster Race is sure to grow powerful!" said Dream Demon Ancestor, the silver giant serpent.
"Then we'll have a chance to subdue Starry Sky Progenitor and Beast Ancestor. With the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance on our side, the Monster Race could sweep across the entire Primal Universe! We must seize this opportunity!"
Zerg Territory.
A huge purple sphere, a trillion kilometers in diameter, floated in the starry sky.
Above the purple sphere, a graceful woman suddenly appeared, wearing a sheer, translucent veil.
"Hehehe~"
A voice filled with endless allure rang out. The Zerg Queen, beautiful beyond compare and graceful in figure, looked at the enormous ranking in the starry sky. "Sky Screen... Whatever kind of being you are, I'll make the ranking and claim the reward!"
The Zerg Queen was naturally gifted in souls and illusions, and her actual combat strength was formidable. She was confident she could place in the top ten of this Reincarnation Era!
"If I can claim the reward... then the Insect Race will have a chance to advance even further! We only need to produce one more strongest being. Then our territory can expand greatly, and we can keep producing talented members. With that virtuous cycle, we'll have a chance to unify the entire Primal Universe."
At the thought, the beautiful Zerg Queen suppressed her excitement and quietly waited for the ranking in the starry sky to update.
Machine Race Territory.
The spherical Machine Father God watched the ranking in the starry sky with utmost seriousness. "If they're judging combat strength alone... I hope I can make the ranking."
As a member of the Machine Race, his combat strength was only middle of the pack among the strongest beings in the universe. He wasn't very confident he could enter the top ten.
In a remote region of the Primal Universe.
The Crystal Race Holy Lord, clad in a magnificent golden robe, had a divine body made entirely of crystal. A faint radiance shimmered across its surface, and a golden eye grew from his brow. He trembled with excitement!
"An opportunity! This is my race's chance!"
Flames seemed to burst from all three of the Crystal Race Holy Lord's eyes. "If I make the ranking and receive a reward from this mysterious Sky Screen, then I'll have a chance to seize the core territories and lead my race to prosperity!"
The Crystal Race Holy Lord gazed excitedly at the ranking in the starry sky, his heart burning with anticipation.
He had no supreme treasure—not even an unusual Peak Supreme Treasure.
Fortunately, this time the Sky Screen judged their personal combat strength alone, and it was only ranking the powerful beings of the Third Reincarnation Era. He was a veteran strongest being in the universe, so he had a chance!
Prison Race Devil Ancestor was also holed up in a remote region of the Primal Universe.
He watched the ranking with equal excitement, his oddly shaped tail swaying as his crimson eyes shone with a light called hope.
"My Prison Race was born in the harshest of lands, and we've always been oppressed by races like the Human Race and the Monster Race. This time, I'll take back everything that belongs to me!"
In the void, Prison Race Devil Ancestor's silver, carapace-like body stood straight as a spear while he waited for the Sky Screen to update with the top ten strongest beings.
At the same time, Heizhou Founder, E Zhou, True Void Demon God, and Shihua Island Master—the few unaffiliated strongest beings in the universe—were also eagerly awaiting the Sky Screen's update.
Although they had no race, they were just as eager to become stronger!
The Sky Screen stretched across the entire Primal Universe.
Although it had appeared only briefly, it had drawn the attention of countless powerful beings from billions of races.
They all watched eagerly, wondering who the ten strongest beings in this universe were!
Would anyone from their races make the ranking?
Although they had no hope of making the ranking themselves, it would still be wonderful to witness the legendary strong.
[TOP 10: Dream Demon Ancestor.]
"What?!"
"How could Dream Demon Ancestor of our Monster Race be only tenth?"
Within the Demon Ancestor Secret Realm, when the ranking slowly updated to show Dream Demon Ancestor in tenth place, the Monster Race's Universe Masters and Top Universe Overlords all exchanged bewildered looks.
"This is an unofficial ranking!" Sky Wolf Master suddenly shrieked. "It has to be an unofficial ranking!"
"How could our Progenitor be at the bottom? There must be some mistake!" Sinking Fire Master said in a low voice.
"Exactly! It must be a mistake. Our race occupies the best territory in the Primal Universe, and Ancestor's combat strength is unmatched. He can't possibly be only tenth!" Tongling Master said angrily.
The other Monster Race Universe Masters also voiced their indignation.
How could their noble Monster Race possibly be at the bottom?
"Hmph!"
Dream Demon Ancestor, the silver giant serpent seated on the throne, gave a cold snort at the clamor in the hall.
The entire hall fell utterly silent. "Keep watching. I want to see whose combat strength surpasses mine."
"Hahaha, that fool Dream Demon Ancestor really is weak!" Somewhere in the starry sky, Beast Ancestor saw Dream Demon Ancestor in tenth place and immediately burst into laughter.
"Back then, you schemed to drive me out of the Demon Beast Alliance and formed the Monster Race yourselves. It was a ridiculously foolish move! Look at you now, without my leadership—you fools have become a complete mess!"
Beast Ancestor's exaggerated laughter spread around him, echoing through the silent depths of the starry sky.
But he had complete control over the region, so he didn't need to worry about anyone seeing him.
At the Human Race's highest roundtable meeting.
"As expected, the Sky Screen's ranking seems fairly reasonable," Founder Giant Axe said in his booming voice. "Dream Demon Ancestor and I have fought several times in the Universe Ocean. Her strength really is quite ordinary among the strongest beings. Tenth place makes sense."
"Then you should be a sure thing for the ranking, Giant Axe," City Lord of Chaos said with a smile. "That means we don't have to worry about the gap between the Human Race and those other races becoming too large."
"I hope you can rank in the top two, Giant Axe. This may be the best opportunity for our Human Race to rise," Darkness Master rasped from within the deep darkness.
"Giant Axe has never fully revealed his strength. Even so, he can overpower the strongest beings from other races who possess supreme treasures. He's sure to place near the top," Dragon Walk Master said with a swish of his enormous tail.
"So Dream Demon Ancestor of the Monster Race really was only tenth."
The countless living beings within the Primal Universe looked at the name on the ranking and the image of Dream Demon Ancestor, the silver giant serpent, displayed beside it.
One by one, they understood.
The tenth-strongest combatant in the Primal Universe was Dream Demon Ancestor of the Monster Race.
