Every living soul on the Douluo Continent gazed at the introduction of the Combat Power Ranking with eyes full of anticipation and longing.
As long as one made the list, they would gain the qualification to become a god, reaching level one hundred and ascending to godhood.
There was not a single living being under the heavens who could resist such a temptation.
"My Lord, is it true that as long as we make the list, we can become gods?"
Far away in the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian looked up at the Sky Screen, his emotions beginning to stir.
Ever since the Dragon God was split in two by the Asura God, the God Realm had established a rule.
Soul beasts could not become gods!
Every time he attempted to transcend the god tribulation, he ended in failure.
Therefore, he hated every deity in the God Realm to the core, wishing he could slaughter his way up to the God Realm immediately to restore the glory of the Dragon Clan.
"I do not know!"
"But there should be hope!"
"I can sense the power of the Heavenly Dao from the Sky Screen."
"This kind of power is beyond anything we can imagine."
"Under the Heavenly Dao, even gods are but ants!"
"Perhaps we can use the power of the Heavenly Dao to return to the God Realm."
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, had awakened the moment the Sky Screen descended.
She had been observing it all along, attempting to see if she could use the power of the Sky Screen to heal her injuries.
As long as her wounds were fully healed, she could return to her peak, possessing the power of a peak half-step God King.
"My Lord, can you and I make the list?"
Di Tian was thoroughly agitated.
If that were truly the case, then there was hope.
"If it is merely a ranking for the Douluo Plane, the two of us will absolutely dominate the first and second spots."
"I hope the Sky Screen does not disappoint me!"
"It is time for our Dragon Clan to kill our way back to the God Realm!"
Gu Yuena was also somewhat excited, yet she remained calm.
She could guess that this so-called Sky Screen was likely a game played by the Heavenly Dao.
Since it was a game, there would be unknown loopholes and uncertainties.
The deities in the God Realm were, after all, the most loyal dogs and the most obedient slaves of the Heavenly Dao.
What if the Heavenly Dao changed its mind?
"The Sky Screen will surely give us hope."
Di Tian clenched his fists tightly, silently hoping that the Sky Screen would help him realize his long-cherished wish.
"Grandfather, it is the Combat Power Ranking; making the list means becoming a god!"
"With your strength, you will certainly make the list."
Seeing that Tang Chen did not want to acknowledge Tang San, Tang Xiao had no choice but to steer the conversation toward the Combat Power Ranking.
He would have to find a way to deal with Tang San's situation slowly.
If all else failed, he would just force Tang San to reform, lock him up for a period of time, and wouldn't he be off the Scumbag Ranking then?
"Hmm, with my strength, I can indeed make the list."
"It seems the Heavens also want me to reach level one hundred and become a god sooner!"
"However, that old fellow Qian Daoliu also has a chance!"
"But none of that matters!"
"As long as I become a god, I fear no one!"
"Hahahaha, let us return to the sect!"
Tang Chen laughed wildly toward the sky and turned to leave, completely disregarding the feelings of Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen at that moment.
From beginning to end, Tang Chen had never held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect in high regard.
He did not even believe these two sects were qualified to be called part of the Upper Three Sects alongside the Clear Sky Sect.
As for Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, they were juniors; as an elder, he saw no need to give them any face at all.
"Sect Master Yu, Sect Master Ning, I am truly sorry. My grandfather has this kind of temper; please do not take offense."
"I am very grateful for the great support from you both. We, the Upper Three Sects, are one body. In the future, if there is anything you need, just say the word. Our Clear Sky Sect will certainly do our utmost to coexist and develop with you!"
"Once our Clear Sky Sect moves back to our old site, I must invite you both to drink and discuss our grand plans together!"
Tang Xiao did not dare to ignore Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, so he hurriedly apologized to them and expressed his stance toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
Since the two had helped him so wholeheartedly just now, he naturally could not be ungrateful; that was not the style of the Clear Sky Sect.
Moreover, Tang Xiao had always wanted to unite the Upper Three Sects and have the Clear Sky Sect take the lead.
Only in this way could the Clear Sky Sect become the true number one sect on the Douluo Continent and fight the Spirit Hall to the bitter end.
"Brother Tang is too kind; we will certainly come."
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen exchanged a glance and returned the gesture one after another.
They were relieved that Tang Xiao would do this, but they were also very worried.
Regardless, they had no other choice; they could only huddle together with the Clear Sky Sect for warmth until the end.
Otherwise, they would suffer retaliation from the Spirit Hall and be defeated one by one.
"Good, that day is not far off!"
"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave!"
Tang Xiao shook hands solemnly with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen before leading the five great elders away.
After exchanging a few polite words, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen also returned to their respective sects to put everyone on high alert.
"The Combat Power Ranking, how interesting."
It seems my strength can no longer be hidden.
But it doesn't matter; as long as I can become a god and obtain the rewards, everything else is irrelevant!
Bibi Dong could no longer suppress the joy in her heart.
Becoming a god was her second greatest wish, ranking only behind her deep love for Duan Changsheng.
"Great High Priest, you can finally become a god!"
"You have waited a long time for this day, haven't you?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared before Qian Daoliu, his eyes filled with determination.
No matter the cost, he had to secure a spot, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
He had lived long enough anyway; he didn't care about living a few years more or less.
"Indeed, I have waited far too long!"
"Becoming a god is this Seat's greatest wish."
"Uncle Jin, you actually have hope as well."
"Looking across the Douluo Continent, there are not many people stronger than you."
"Your nephew congratulates you in advance!"
Qian Daoliu patted Golden Crocodile Douluo's shoulder with excitement, genuinely wanting to see him make the list.
By then, the Spirit Hall would have two gods.
"Great High Priest, I will do my best!"
Seeing Qian Daoliu address him as 'Uncle Jin', Golden Crocodile Douluo was instantly moved.
He had not heard that form of address in nearly a hundred years.
It seemed that no matter what, he had to make the list!
"Hey, little Duan, why don't we have a chat?"
Just as Duan Changsheng was putting away his Masked Superman costume, the handsome young man in charge of the Sky Screen suddenly appeared out of thin air and greeted him cheerfully.
"Fine, follow me!"
Duan Changsheng frowned slightly upon seeing the visitor and led him to a secluded little tavern.
He could sense that this person seemed very interested in him and had some ulterior motive.
Could it be that he had taken a fancy to him and wanted to...
That would not do; he was not into that.
"Little Duan, don't be nervous. My tastes are normal; I'm not interested in you in that way."
"I'm only looking for you because I want to have a chat."
The handsome young man seemed to see through his thoughts and quickly explained, fearing a misunderstanding.
"That's good then!"
"Speak, what do you want with me!"
Duan Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and asked for the reason directly.
He never visited without a reason!
This guy was definitely up to no good.
"The matter is a good one, but before that, let me introduce myself."
"My name is Zi Chen, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, in charge of the Sky Screen Gold Ranking to add a little amusement to this world."
"I am looking for you because I want you to inherit my identity."
"As long as you agree, I will use the Sky Screen to ensure you smoothly become the master of the Sky Screen Gold Ranking."
"From then on, you will be the person second only to the Heavenly Dao. All things in the world will be under your control, and even gods will be but playthings in your hands!"
"What do you think?"
