Four Innate Supreme Treasures Tied for Second? They Could Rank Them Like That?
At that moment, everyone on Blue Star held their breath.
Even people in Eagle Nation, Cherry Blossom Nation, and several other powerful countries felt a flicker of hope.
What if? What if some overlooked weapon from their own country was actually a superweapon far beyond a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure?
As everyone watched with bated breath, the Golden Ranking updated.
[2nd Place] [Weapons: Cosmos Cauldron, God-Slaying Spear, Taiji Diagram, Twenty-Four-Petal Pure World White Lotus] [Grade: Innate Supreme Treasure] [Trial Contestant: Li Yi] [Country: Dragon Nation] [Trial World: Primordial World] [Trial Rewards: Dragon Nation's national fortune +40%! Comprehension of all Dragon Nation citizens +40%! Talent from the Initial Identities of all Dragon Nation citizens +80%!] [Note: As all four weapons belong to the same person and share the same grade, they are tied for second place. National fortune rewards will not be issued more than once!]
Silence. Dead silence.
In every country's National Destiny Plaza, people stared at the ranking in disbelief.
After a long pause, the National Destiny Livestreams erupted.
"What the hell!? They can rank them like that? Four weapons tied for second!?"
"That Innate Supreme Treasure is even stronger than the Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures above it!?"
"Damn it, that Dragon Nation guy must have cheated! He had that Innate Supreme Treasure called the Cosmos Cauldron from birth! Now you're telling me it's even more terrifying than a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure? How did he get it?"
"Bastard! That bastard! That Dragon Nation guy has hogged all our national fortune rewards!"
Netizens from every country lost it.
Dragon Nation's Li Yi had already monopolized the previous 98 spots. That was 98 rankings in a row!
In previous years, no one had come close to taking 98 spots.
Even a Super Genius rarely claimed two places in the top 100 of the Weapon Rankings!
Li Yi was a monster!
Still, despite grinding their teeth, they had not given up entirely. They had pinned their hopes on the final two spots.
Now even that last hope had been crushed!
Second place belonged to that Dragon Nation guy too!? What was the point of competing!?
Even the people of Dragon Nation were stunned by the sight!
They had assumed Innate Supreme Treasures were inferior to Innate Spiritual Treasures, since four weapons could not fill two spots. Yet all four had tied for second?
Their shock gave way to wild joy as another immense national fortune reward descended from the sky!
As they absorbed the reward, they fired back in the livestream chat.
"What do you mean, 'our national fortune rewards'? Those are our rewards. Keep your hands off them."
"Don't like it? Suck it up!"
"Why are you whining? Go get an Innate Spiritual Treasure yourselves!"
"God Yi is incredible!"
Meanwhile, Eagle Nation Congress Speaker Robert flew into a rage. He hurled the documents in his hand straight into the face of the councilor responsible for intelligence.
"Idiot! Didn't you say Innate Supreme Treasures were inferior to Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures?"
"Is everyone in the Intelligence Department useless?"
"You said the top two spots would both belong to Eagle Nation!"
The councilor struck in the face with the documents looked ready to cry.
Fuck, how was the Intelligence Department supposed to predict four weapons tying for second?
Nothing like this had ever happened before!
Who could have guessed this year's national fortune Weapon Rankings would throw the rules out the window?
As he stewed over it, a thought struck the councilor. His eyes brightened, and he put on an ingratiating smile.
"Speaker, nothing like this has ever happened before..."
"But this is good news!"
"Think about it. Every weapon Li Yi is known to possess, whether Innate Supreme Treasure or Innate Spiritual Treasure, has appeared on the ranking!"
"That means first place definitely won't go to Dragon Nation!"
"Li Yi can't appear on the ranking again. So who else could that final spot belong to?"
At those words, the anger on Eagle Nation Congress Speaker Robert's face eased a little.
It was true. Dragon Nation's Li Yi had his Innate Supreme Treasures, his Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, his High-grade Innate Spirit Treasures...
Every notable weapon he owned had appeared on the ranking.
There could be no more surprises!
First place had to belong to Eagle Nation!
And how could two weapons take first place?
That was easy to explain!
If Dragon Nation's Li Yi could have four weapons tied for second, Eagle Nation's two Super Divine Artifacts could surely tie for first! It made perfect sense!
Robert still felt the sting of losing the second-place reward he had expected, but the thought that Eagle Nation would take first eased the pain somewhat.
More importantly, if Eagle Nation's two Super Divine Artifacts outranked every one of Li Yi's weapons, it would prove Heaven World was on a higher level than the Primordial World Li Yi had entered!
Li Yi was only ahead for now. Eagle Nation could catch up in the later National Destiny Training rankings!
Having settled on that thought, Robert gritted his teeth and nodded.
"That final spot has to belong to Eagle Nation!"
Eagle Nation was not alone. People in many other countries had reached the same conclusion, and their livestream chats were fighting over who would take first place.
"All of Li Yi's Innate Supreme Treasures and Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures are already on the ranking! The final spot can't possibly be his!"
"First place has to belong to Lion Nation! We explored plenty of Unknown Worlds this time. One of them must have something stronger than those Innate Supreme Treasures!"
"Like hell it does! The Divine Artifacts Kimchi Nation obtained from Hero World this year are stronger than anything we got before. First place is ours!"
"Bullshit! You think your Hero World can compare to Cherry Blossom Nation's Naruto World? The Uchiha Fan will definitely take first."
"Fuck, Eagle Nation brought back two Super Divine Artifacts from Heaven World! We could have taken both of the top two spots, but the artifacts must be the same quality, so the National Fortune Rankings will probably tie them for first!"
"Exactly! First place on this year's Weapon Rankings has to belong to Eagle Nation!"
Before first place was even announced, netizens from every country were already arguing themselves hoarse in the livestream chats.
In previous years, they would never have fought this fiercely. This year, there were barely any rewards left!
Dragon Nation had claimed nearly every reward, leaving only first place. Of course everyone was desperate for their country to take it!
As they argued, the Golden Ranking above the National Destiny Plaza flashed, and its information updated once more.
