The Three Ancestral Gods discussed the matter while keeping an eye on the rankings in the starry sky.
At last.
As the image of Machine Father God vanished from the ranking list,
the battle footage began.
In the chaotic currents, 10,081 Mechanical Puppets attacked in perfect formation.
Each puppet was comparable to a Peak Supreme Treasure. Driven by an Eighth Order Secret Technique, they charged at a First Reincarnation Era powerhouse with the force of annihilation.
The powerhouse was clearly no weakling. Clad in black armor, he managed to withstand the puppets' combined assault and even counterattacked from time to time.
But when Machine Father God unleashed his full strength, every Mechanical Puppet seemed infused with a mind of its own, launching a frenzied assault.
In an instant, they beat their opponent senseless, until he could only flee in disarray.
When the battle footage faded, the rankings in the starry sky refreshed once more.
The reward interface everyone had been waiting for appeared.
[Review complete. Machine Father God: Gene Level of 10,081 times, with an ordinary Eighth Order Secret Technique+. Even without using his puppet army, which is comparable to Supreme Treasures, his combat strength is enough to overwhelm Tremor Demon Ancestor, who is likewise fighting without treasures.] [His combat strength merits TOP 8.] [Reward: Domain-type Supreme Treasure, "Wind Ripple Realm."]
"Boom!!!"
"Eighth place gets a Domain-type Supreme Treasure?!"
Countless people went berserk when they saw the reward interface!
Domain-type Supreme Treasures were worth far more than offensive or armor-type treasures!
It was no exaggeration to say that a good domain-type treasure was worth as much as two armor-type treasures!
"#￥@#￥"
Inside the Demon Ancestor Secret Realm,
Dream Demon Ancestor completely lost it.
"This is rigged! It has to be rigged!"
"That hunk of scrap metal's secret technique is only a little higher than yours, Zhen Jiao, yet he gets a Domain-type Supreme Treasure as his reward? How is that fair?!"
"He already has an offensive Supreme Treasure. Now that he has a Domain-type Supreme Treasure as well, even if the two of us join forces, we won't be able to suppress him."
Dream Demon Ancestor was miserable!
She had thought that since she and Tremor Demon Ancestor had both made the list, even if they landed at the bottom, they would at least get two Supreme Treasures that made up for their weaknesses.
Who could have guessed that the others would get even better treasures!
Judging by the Supreme Treasures handed out by the Sky Screen, none of them were bad!
"Ah..." Tremor Demon Ancestor had no words. "Tell Miejin and the others to suspend the territorial expansion plan for now. We'll discuss it again later."
"...All right!"
However angry Dream Demon Ancestor was, she knew the situation had changed.
If the rewards kept getting better the higher someone ranked, then their Monster Race might not even be able to hold on to its territory.
Besides,
the Beast Ancestor had yet to appear!
It was true that Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor had both broken through to become the strongest in the universe. They had also been lucky enough to find Supreme Treasures deep in the Universe Ocean, and together they had driven the Beast Ancestor out of the Demon Beast Alliance.
They had then founded the Monster Race with their direct descendants.
After that, the two of them had attacked the Beast Ancestor every time they encountered him!
But no matter how you looked at it,
setting treasures aside,
the Beast Ancestor really was stronger...
After all, he was one of the oldest of the universe's strongest beings, and he had escaped from the two of them time and again.
If he weren't strong enough, he would have been killed long ago.
But now, it seemed the situation was about to change.
"Hahaha! Those two fools, Zhen Jiao and Meng Cha, must be dumbfounded now!"
In the void, the Beast Ancestor's mood suddenly improved. "That fellow from the Machine Race got a Domain-type Supreme Treasure just for ranking eighth. This Sky Screen is generous indeed. In terms of secret techniques alone, I'm quite a bit stronger than him. I can't wait to see what my reward will be."
Wrapped in dark golden scales, the Beast Ancestor glanced toward the Demon Race Territory with his crimson, eerie eyes. "Just you wait. What belongs to me, I'll take back!"
The Ancestor God Sect.
The Three Ancestral Gods exchanged looks. In the end, the Aged Ancestral God spoke first.
"The Origin Will is extremely restless right now. This Sky Screen manifested by the Great Will of the Hunyuan Void is truly unfathomable. A Domain-type Supreme Treasure can completely bypass the Origin Will, and it can do nothing about it. It seems the treasures awarded later will surely exceed the limits imposed by the Supreme Rule."
"Ah, it seems this world is even more complicated than we imagined."
The Youthful Ancestral God sighed.
Throughout the endless ages,
the Origin Will had been synonymous with absolute invincibility.
As the Origin Will's representatives, the Three Ancestral Gods were also absolutely invincible within the Primal Universe.
Anything that threatened the Primal Universe was dealt with by them the moment it emerged.
But this "Sky Screen" was clearly beyond their abilities.
It was beyond the Primal Universe's Origin Will's ability to handle, too.
In fact, under the Origin Will's watch, among the "garbage" drifting over from the Origin Continent,
Supreme Treasures were merely True God Level weapons. Peak Supreme Treasures and Top-tier Supreme Treasures were even more abundant.
The Origin Will would occasionally send some Supreme Treasures drifting into the various dangerous places of the Universe Ocean, where they would then be discovered by powerful beings.
In this way, it could regulate the balance of power among the forces within the Primal Universe to some degree, and indirectly control the strength of its powerful beings.
For example, it let the two Monster Race Ancestors, whose actual combat strength was mediocre, obtain Supreme Treasures, while Giant Axe, whose actual combat strength was formidable, had never been able to find one.
That was the result of the Origin Will's secret manipulation.
But now, the Origin Will had realized it had lost its "permission to control"...
The Virtual Universe.
"Hahaha, Machine Father God actually got such a good reward! Giant Axe, your secret technique is far stronger than his. You're sure to get an even better reward!"
Desolate Mirror Lord laughed. "We were worried that the Monster Race would grow too powerful too quickly, but it seems we were fretting over nothing."
"This is certainly good news. If the rule is 'the higher the ranking, the better the reward,' then the treasures Giant Axe gets later will surely be beyond our imagination. Our human race has every chance of using these rewards to overwhelm the other great peak races!"
City Lord of Chaos was excited, too. "When your strength surges, Giant Axe, you'll gain even more in the Universe Ocean. Perhaps you'll even have a chance to rescue our teacher!"
"Right! If we can rescue Original Ancestor, we can ignore the so-called Three Reincarnation Eras and Two Holy Land Universes!"
Darkness Master and the others' eyes lit up at once.
Original Ancestor's strength—
there was no question about it!
"We'll see what the later rewards bring." Giant Axe was the calmest of them all.
He knew his own strength best.
Given the same treasures,
he could single-handedly sweep aside so-called Dream Demon Ancestor, Tremor Demon Ancestor, Machine Father God, Zerg Queen, and the rest working together!
Inside the Machine Race Divine Kingdom,
Machine Father God tremblingly received the fan-shaped treasure, which shimmered with a faint green light.
He eagerly sent out a wisp of divine power.
Soon,
Machine Father God had made the Wind Ripple Realm his own.
As the information inside the treasure reached him,
Machine Father God grew even more excited. "This Sky Screen is just too good!"
"With the Wind Ripple Realm, I can attack or defend when facing other strongest beings in the universe. I'll be completely invincible!"
Over here.
