National Destiny's Number One, the Chaos Gourd! Eagle Sauce Nation's Super Divine Artifact Was Nothing but a Stray by the Road!
As the rankings updated, everyone in the National Destiny Plazas of every nation craned their necks.
There were only 100 spots on the list, yet Li Yi of Dragon Nation occupied 99 of them alone, leaving only the final ranking reward for them to fight over. How could they not be anxious?
Eagle Sauce Nation in particular desperately needed this first place to prove themselves.
As long as first place belonged to them, it would not matter even if the previous 99 belonged to Dragon Nation. After all, if their strongest weapon surpassed Li Yi of Dragon Nation's strongest weapon, it meant their Heaven World was stronger than the Primordial World where Li Yi resided!
Even if they were temporarily behind now, they could slowly catch up later...
Finally, amid everyone's eager anticipation, the rankings on the Golden Ranking updated once more.
[Rank 1]
[Weapon: Chaos Gourd (still gestating)]
[Grade: Unknown]
[Trial Participant: Li Yi]
[Affiliated Nation: Dragon Nation]
[Trial World: Primordial World]
[Trial Reward: Dragon Nation's national destiny increased by 50%! All Dragon Nation citizens' comprehension increased by 50%! All Dragon Nation citizens' initial trial identity talent increased by 100%!]
Upon seeing the newly announced information for first place, the livestreams of every nation, which had been arguing endlessly moments ago, fell completely silent.
As people from every nation stared at the information for first place, their minds seemed to crash. A moment later, they all went mad.
"Ah, what kind of joke is this? What does still gestating mean? That weapon hasn't even been born yet, has it!? Can a weapon like that even participate in the rankings?"
"Damn it, what does grade unknown mean? Even the National Destiny System can't determine the grade of that Chaos Gourd?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The National Destiny System is omnipotent; it can't possibly fail to determine it. The most likely reason is that weapon is still gestating!"
"A weapon that is still gestating is stronger than an Innate Supreme Treasure!?"
The people of Cherry Blossom Nation were red with rage!
Earlier, every one of them had boldly declared in the National Destiny Livestream that their Uchiha Fan would definitely take first place! Yet first place still belonged to Li Yi!?
That Li Yi occupied the top 100 of the Weapon Rankings all by himself!? Their Uchiha Fan could not even compare to Li Yi of Dragon Nation's hundredth weapon?
At that thought, everyone in Cherry Blossom Nation nearly broke down.
"So you're saying our Uchiha Fan isn't even as good as the hundredth weapon in Li Yi of Dragon Nation's hands?"
"This... this is just bullying!"
"Damn it! That Li Yi of Dragon Nation definitely cheated. He was born with an Innate Supreme Treasure, which means he had a weapon a hundred times more terrifying than the Uchiha Fan from birth? If that isn't cheating, what is?"
It was not only Cherry Blossom Nation. All the other nations also fell into despair.
In the Eagle Sauce Nation Congress conference room, Speaker Robert no longer had the heart to get angry. His face was pale, and his heart was filled with despair.
Before the final ranking was revealed, he could still comfort himself with all sorts of excuses.
But now, the naked truth stood before him.
The so-called super divine artifact, the Cherubim Scepter, which Eagle Sauce Nation had spent more than ten rounds of effort bringing out of Heaven World, was not even as good as Li Yi's hundredth weapon?
This was no mere slight advantage! They had been compared to a stray by the roadside!
The other side had a full hundred top-tier divine artifacts... no, more than a hundred!
Robert raised his bloodshot eyes and glared viciously at the congressman in charge of the intelligence department. The congressman's body trembled, and he nearly burst into tears.
"Mr. Speaker! The intelligence department never expected that a Chaos Gourd still in gestation could be included in the rankings! And even take first place..."
It was not that their intelligence department had failed to analyze things properly. Li Yi was simply too bizarre!
Who the hell could have imagined that the most terrifying thing in that Dragon Nation man's possession was actually a supreme treasure still in gestation!?
It was already this absurd before it had even been born. How terrifying would it be once it emerged?
Robert naturally understood all this as well. He no longer had any mind to dwell on it and instead asked about the exact rankings of his nation's two super divine artifacts.
"What are the weapon rankings of the Cherubim Scepter and the Seraphim Scepter?"
After the Golden Ranking was announced, everyone could check the rankings of their own nation's weapons.
Upon hearing this, the congressman shuddered and began investigating with trembling hands.
"Reporting to the Speaker, our two super divine artifacts rank 157th and 158th respectively..."
By the end, the congressman's voice had grown faint.
Clearly, all the weapons before them belonged to Li Yi of Dragon Nation!
In other words, Li Yi of Dragon Nation possessed only 156 weapons in total!
If he had a few more, they might not even have made it into the top 200!
Upon hearing this, Robert closed his eyes in despair.
Sure enough, their so-called super divine artifacts could not compare to any weapon in Li Yi of Dragon Nation's hands. Any random weapon of his could crush them beneath its feet!
With rankings like this, they had no way to estimate just how vast the gap between themselves and Li Yi of Dragon Nation truly was!
At first glance, 156th and 157th place were separated by only one rank, but the difference in quality between them might be thousands or even tens of thousands of times!
Clearly, the others had thought of this as well. The conference room fell quiet, and only several minutes later did a congressman raise his head and say through gritted teeth.
"We lost this round, but that doesn't mean we won't have a chance next round!"
"That Li Yi should already be the strongest existence in the Primordial World, which is why he can monopolize so many divine artifacts!"
"But the National Destiny Battlefield competition on the third day involves summoning figures from worlds closely connected to us to compete!"
"Li Yi is powerful, but the person he summons may not be so powerful! As long as we summon legendary angels, we still have a chance to win! Besides, that world is so dangerous that Li Yi might not even survive until the end..."
At those words, everyone looked at one another. Though they did not think the odds were high, they were no longer as hopeless as before!
That was true. The National Destiny rankings were not over yet. Until then, Eagle Sauce Nation still had a chance!
Thinking more darkly, the more terrifying a world was, the greater its dangers would be! Perhaps Li Yi would suddenly perish in that world later on. Then their opportunity would come...
Time went uncounted in the Primordial World, and in the blink of an eye, three Yuanhui had already passed.
Tongtian had set off early and did not ask his two elder brothers again.
As Yuanshi and Laozi flew toward Purple Cloud Palace, Yuanshi's brows were tightly furrowed, as though he were pondering something.
After hesitating for a long while, just as he was about to enter the Thirty-Three Heavens, determination flashed across his face. He finally made up his mind.
As his figure passed through the chaotic currents, an exquisite little Jade Ruyi fell downward. After it had fallen far enough, the Jade Ruyi transformed into a man out of thin air. It was none other than the Kind Corpse Yuanshi had severed two Yuanhui ago.
Yuanshi's Kind Corpse transformed into a stream of light and flew directly toward Yingzhou Island!
Though Yuanshi had called Li Yi a wild cultivator, seeing his third brother break through to the Quasi-Saint realm last time had truly dealt a heavy blow to his confidence!
This time, no matter what, he had to personally listen in and find out exactly what Dao that Heaven-Earth Daoist taught!
Of course, in his heart, he had found himself a perfectly reasonable excuse for self-comfort!
He was not going there to listen to that Wild Heaven-Earth Daoist's Sage Dao. He was going for his third brother! What if that Heaven-Earth Daoist had hidden some trap within the Sage Dao he expounded?
Only by being there in person and discerning whether there were any traps could he warn his third brother afterward!
Thinking this, Yuanshi nodded slightly, and his usual arrogant expression returned to his face.
After flying for several days, Yuanshi's Kind Corpse had already neared Yingzhou Island. More and more Daoists were flying around him. Suddenly, Yuanshi's Kind Corpse frowned and fixed his gaze on a figure's back in the distance.
Hiss! That Daoist's back ahead looked rather familiar?
Why did he feel like it looked a little like Eldest Brother...?
