[The Battle Power Ranking has ended. Next, the rewards will be announced!] [Battle Power Ranking TOP 10: Snow Empress. Cultivation increased by one hundred thousand years, tribulations waived, and granted eligibility for the Ice and Snow Goddess's inheritance.]
"Snow Empress, sis, you—you've received the Ice and Snow Goddess's inheritance!"
"The Sky Screen was telling the truth. Making the ranking really can let us become gods!"
Ice Empress was both shocked and delighted when she saw Snow Empress's reward.
After just one Battle Power Ranking, Snow Empress's cultivation had risen directly to eight hundred thousand years, and she had also received the opportunity to become a god.
Didn't that mean Snow Empress could become a god as soon as her cultivation surpassed one million years?
For a moment, every Soul Beast in the Far North was stirred into a frenzy.
As long as Snow Empress became a god, the Soul Beasts of the Far North would all benefit to some extent.
After all, they were Snow Empress's most loyal subordinates.
"Right! I never imagined we Soul Beasts would have a chance to become gods, too."
"Once I become a god, I'll be able to hold my head high in front of our lord."
"No matter what, I'm going to fight our lord for Little Duan."
"Ice Empress, little sister, once I become a god, I'll find a way to help you become one, too."
Snow Empress exclaimed excitedly.
No one could take her Little Duan away from her.
She would even be willing to become Little Duan's concubine.
"Thank you, sis. I believe Little Duan will definitely accept us again."
Ice Empress was so moved by Snow Empress's kindness that she nearly burst into tears.
[Battle Power Ranking TOP 9: Evil Emperor. Cultivation increased by one hundred thousand years, tribulations waived, and granted eligibility for the God of Delusion's inheritance.]
The Evil Emperor's appearance gave the Soul Beasts even greater hope of becoming gods.
The Soul Beasts living in the Evil Demon Forest also offered their king their congratulations.
"Hahaha, my cultivation has broken through to nine hundred thousand years!"
"Once I reach one million years, I'll become an Evil God!"
"Di Tian, one day, I'll grind you beneath my feet!"
Feeling the powerful force surging through him, the Evil Emperor's eyes filled with anticipation.
His greatest regret in life was failing to become the king of the Soul Beasts.
[Battle Power Ranking TOP 8: Bibi Dong. All restrictions on the Rakshasa God Trial removed, true cultivation restored, and named the sole inheritor of the Rakshasa God. The age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones increased by ten thousand years.]
The moment Bibi Dong's reward appeared, it caused an uproar.
Her lackeys in particular were already dancing with excitement.
Eligibility for a divine inheritance and being its sole inheritor were not the same thing.
Eligibility meant there was a chance to become a god, but there would be competitors. Being the sole inheritor meant becoming a god was guaranteed.
In other words, as long as Bibi Dong didn't die, she was destined to become the Rakshasa God.
Seeing Bibi Dong's reward, Qian Daoliu's eyes held both anticipation and boundless killing intent.
If Bibi Dong survived, Spirit Hall would surely be plunged into an unimaginable crisis—unless he could become a god, too.
"Wonderful! At last, I can bring all my power to bear."
"So this is the power of a Limit Douluo?"
"It's unbelievably powerful!"
"If the ranking were held again, I'd definitely make the top five!"
Feeling the power within her, Bibi Dong couldn't help exulting.
From here on, all she had to do was complete the Rakshasa God Trial step by step.
[Battle Power Ranking TOP 7: Tang Chen. All hidden ailments in his body removed, peak strength restored, and granted eligibility for the Asura God's inheritance. The age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones increased by thirty thousand years.]
"Congratulations, Grandpa! You've finally returned to your peak, and you've received eligibility for the Asura God's inheritance, too."
"Our Clear Sky Sect has finally made it through!"
Seeing the Sky Screen, Tang Xiao happily knelt before Tang Chen, unable to suppress the joy deep in his heart.
"That's right. At last, I've returned to my peak."
"The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King made me suffer terribly. Now I can become that senior's disciple, too!"
Tang Chen exclaimed, then shot into the air and flew toward Spirit City at incredible speed.
Restored to his peak, his flying speed had at least doubled.
[Battle Power Ranking TOP 6: Bo Saixi. Released from her position as High Priest of the Sea God, divine trial upgraded, and granted eligibility for the Sea God Inheritance. The age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones increased by fifty thousand years.]
"Congratulations, High Priest!"
The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos had already arrived outside the Sea God Temple. They knelt on the ground and congratulated Bo Saixi, who was suspended high in the air.
With Bo Saixi's abilities, she could certainly pass the Sea God's Ninth Trial.
The Sea God's throne was practically within her grasp.
But Bo Saixi wasn't happy at all, because she was thinking of Duan Changsheng.
"Brother Duan, where are you?"
"I'm about to become a god. Will I ever get to see you again?"
Bo Saixi roared at the sky, venting the anguish in her heart.
To her, becoming a god wasn't nearly as wonderful as it seemed.
Spending her life with the one she loved was her greatest wish.
If she could give up becoming a god in exchange for a life together with Duan Changsheng, she would make that choice without hesitation.
She had already lost him once. She didn't want to lose him a second time.
[Battle Power Ranking TOP 5: Qian Daoliu. Released from his position as High Priest of the Angel God, divine trial upgraded, and granted eligibility for the Angel God's inheritance. The age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones increased by seventy thousand years.]
"Grand Consecrator, you can become a god, too!"
"I knew you could do it."
"Now we don't have to worry about Bibi Dong anymore."
Golden Crocodile Douluo grew excited.
Although he couldn't become a god, Qian Daoliu's chance to do so meant he had fulfilled his duty to protect the Qian Clan.
In truth, he wasn't greedy. Becoming a Limit Douluo was all he needed.
Now that he was a Limit Douluo, he could say he had fulfilled his lifelong wish.
"That's right. At last, I can become a god, too."
"Bibi Dong, I won't let you become a god before me."
"Uncle Jin, I'll leave Spirit Hall in your hands for now. I'm going into secluded cultivation."
"Please take good care of Yuyan for me. Don't let anyone mistreat her."
Before entering seclusion at the Angel Temple, Qian Daoliu entrusted Wang Yuyan to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Grand Consecrator, may I ask you something, if you don't mind? Why are you so concerned about Wang Yuyan?"
"Could the rumors be true? Is she your illegitimate daughter?"
Seeing that Qian Daoliu was still thinking about Wang Yuyan even though he was about to become a god, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer and asked.
"Bullshit!"
"Who said that?"
"How could Yuyan be my illegitimate daughter?"
"Do you think I'm that lucky?"
"If I find out who's spreading rumors about my junior sister, I'll rip his mouth apart!"
Qian Daoliu was furious!
If his teacher heard this, he'd get a beating.
"J-junior sister?"
"Grand Consecrator, are you saying Yuyan is also that senior's disciple?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was utterly shocked.
He'd never imagined Wang Yuyan had such a terrifying identity.
No wonder Qian Daoliu treated her with such respect.
But if she was that senior's disciple, why wasn't her cultivation outstanding?
"She isn't my teacher's disciple. She's my teacher's daughter."
"Uncle Jin, you must keep this secret. Don't tell anyone—not even Yuyan!"
"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to my teacher."
"If Yuyan gets into trouble while I'm in seclusion and you can't handle it, notify me at once!"
Qian Daoliu revealed Wang Yuyan's true identity, hoping Golden Crocodile Douluo would risk his life to protect her while he was in seclusion.
"Grand Consecrator, don't worry."
"Even if I have to die, I'll keep Miss Yuyan safe!"
Knowing how important Wang Yuyan was, Golden Crocodile Douluo promised Qian Daoliu he would protect her, allowing him to enter seclusion without worry.
Spirit Hall's survival now rested on Qian Daoliu.
If Qian Daoliu became a god first, Bibi Dong would die, and Spirit Hall would remain safe and sound.
If Bibi Dong became a god first, they would be the ones to die.
Even if there was only a sliver of hope, they had to fight for it to the end.
