Heaven Dou City, Soul Fighting Tavern.

The dim, flickering lamplight stretched the shadows of two figures in the corner.

A man and a woman sat opposite each other at the table.

The girl wore a simple, elegant dress, her long golden hair cascading loosely over her shoulders. Her features were exquisitely refined, her skin as white as snow.

At this moment, she rested her chin in her hands, her bright, beautiful eyes fixed unblinkingly on the man across from her.

"You say you've lived for tens of thousands of years?"

Qian Renxue parted her red lips, her voice laced with obvious mockery.

Her gaze lingered, unable to tear itself away from that peerlessly handsome face.

The young man before her was named Long Yun.

With sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, his facial contours were like the heavens' most perfect masterpiece.

Between his brows lay a unique temperament—one that had seen all the vicissitudes of life, yet remained detached from the world.

Even though Qian Renxue was accustomed to seeing all manner of people, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat in the face of such earth-shattering handsomeness.

Long Yun picked up the wine glass on the table, swirled the scarlet liquid within, and gave a slight nod.

"Before I knew it, tens of thousands of years had already passed."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue burst into a giggle, her frame trembling with laughter and drawing frequent glances from the surrounding patrons.

"Are you teasing me? Who would believe that!"

She cast a coquettish, playful glare at him.

Although the man before her was devastatingly handsome, the claim that he had lived for tens of thousands of years was absolutely impossible.

Did he really think he was a god descended to earth?

The young girl leaned forward slightly, her demeanor playful.

"Still, the stories you tell are quite interesting."

In truth, Qian Renxue had only come to the tavern to relax her frayed nerves.

Living undercover in Heaven Dou City for so long, the constant need to tread carefully had left her breathless.

She had intended to have a drink alone, but she hadn't expected to encounter Long Yun, who had come over to strike up a conversation.

Under normal circumstances, she would never have paid any mind to such persistent suitors.

However, this man was simply too good-looking, and his conversation was filled with wit and charm.

The two of them chatted idly like this.

After a few glasses of strong spirits, Qian Renxue, emboldened by the alcohol, even found herself venting about her childhood experiences of being unloved by her mother.

Faced with these complaints, Long Yun simply listened quietly, occasionally offering a perfectly timed response.

"Come, let's have a drink."

Qian Renxue raised her glass, the rims clinking together with a crisp sound.

Draining her glass, Long Yun watched the pretty face so close to his own in silence.

This face was so similar to an old acquaintance from his memories named Qian Renhan.

The young man's gaze gradually softened.

In the long river of tens of thousands of years, he had left too many footprints across the Douluo Continent.

He was the Rainbow Dragon, and furthermore, the partner of the Dragon God.

The world was fickle; after the Dragon God fell, he split into two parts.

Gu Yuena, representing pure elements, took on a female form, while he, after reincarnating, had instead become a man.

If one were to truly calculate it, he was actually Gu Yuena's wife.

Throughout the long years, he had witnessed the rise and fall of too many eras.

The rise of the Angel God and the birth of the Sea God had all occurred under his watchful gaze.

He had even once sired a bloodline with the Angel God.

The Qian Renxue sitting across from him now was, in terms of lineage, actually his descendant.

Long Yun smiled and shook his head, naturally seeing the skepticism the little girl held toward his words.

But he did not mind.

Time was too long; whether she understood or not had long since ceased to matter.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

The pitch-black night sky outside the tavern suddenly erupted with a brilliant, dazzling golden light.

The radiance pierced through the gaps in the roof, illuminating the entire Heaven Dou City as if it were broad daylight.

Immediately following, a massive golden scroll slowly unfurled across the Sky Screen.

A vast pressure poured down from the nine heavens.

Several golden characters, written in a bold and unrestrained hand, coalesced in the void.

[Exposing the Douluo Continent, the Ten Strongest Soul Beasts!]

[Those who make the list shall be granted supreme rewards!]

In an instant, the entire Soul Fighting Tavern erupted.

Patrons who had been clinking glasses just moments before rushed out the doors, craning their necks to gaze at the starry sky as exclamations of shock rose one after another.

"Look at the sky, what is that?"

"A miracle! Has a god descended upon the world?"

"This must be the Douluo Heavenly Dao; the heavens have manifested!"

The clamor of discussion was incessant.

Qian Renxue also walked to the window, tilting her head back, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Golden radiance spilled over her stunning face, adding a touch of divinity to her features.

"Such a feat, capable of altering the heavens and the earth..."

The young woman murmured to herself, her heart churning with shock.

"Even the Angel God could not achieve something of this magnitude, could she?"

Long Yun stood to the side, watching the golden list that spanned the horizon, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.

"The Douluo Sky Screen?"

He whispered, and having lived for tens of thousands of years, even he was seeing such a spectacle for the first time.

Meanwhile, in Spirit City, at the Pope Palace.

Before the high and mighty papal throne, Bibi Dong stood up abruptly.

The scepter in her hand, symbolizing supreme power, struck the floor heavily, emitting a dull thud. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was now etched with shock.

"A Sky Screen?"

Bibi Dong stared at the firmament outside the great hall, her chest heaving violently.

As a peerless powerhouse only a step away from the divine realm, she understood the terror of this power better than anyone.

"Even a true god could never manage to manifest such a list!"

After the shock subsided, her mind began to race.

A ranking of the ten strongest soul beasts?

Two massive figures from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest instantly surfaced in Bibi Dong's mind.

The Titan Giant Ape, and the Azure Bull Python.

These two hundred-thousand-year-level overlords possessed unfathomable strength.

"With their foundations, they should be able to make the top ten, right?"

The Pope calculated silently in her heart.

On the other side, at Shrek Academy.

On the simple training ground, the Shrek Seven Devils were gathered together.

Tang San, who had just broken through to level thirty, looked up at the sky, his fists clenching involuntarily.

His eyes shimmered with intense anticipation.

"A ranking of the ten strongest soul beasts..."

Tang San swallowed hard and spoke softly.

"I wonder which terrifying existences will make the list."

Standing to the side, Yu Xiaogang held his hands behind his back, deliberately striking a profound and mysterious pose.

He cleared his throat, and once he had drawn everyone's attention, he spoke.

"According to my years of research as a Grandmaster, soul beasts in this world that reach one hundred thousand years are already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns."

"As for this 'Ten Strongest,' in my view, the age of the tenth-place beast cannot possibly exceed one hundred thousand years."

Yu Xiaogang made his judgment with absolute certainty.

Hearing this, the Shrek group all wore expressions of realization, their gazes toward the Grandmaster becoming increasingly reverent.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, on the outskirts of the Lake of Life.

Two beasts as massive as mountains were crouching by the lake, but at this moment, both raised their heads.

The bull-headed, snake-bodied Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape, which resembled a small mountain.
