The Golden Ranking's Second Place Revealed

Bibi Dong got up and followed behind him.

True Dragon Tower.

Shui Yue'er was already seated at the long table.

She looked at the steamed shrimp that had just been served and immediately picked up her chopsticks.

Shui Bing'er pressed down on her wrist.

"The Dean has not yet sat down."

Shui Yue'er had no choice but to put down her chopsticks.

Long Yao walked to the head seat and sat down.

Bibi Dong moved to the right side.

The four sat around a long table.

Shui Yue'er looked at Bibi Dong.

There will be Lotus Seed Soup tomorrow.

"Um."

"Would you like to add more sugar?"

"Need not."

"Then I'll put it in myself."

Long Yao at her.

Shui Yue'er withdrew her hand from the sugar jar.

I'll release it tomorrow.

Bibi Dong picked up her chopsticks.

She looked at the food on the table.

There were still many matters awaiting her attention at the Papal Palace.

The Worship Hall also monitors the changes that have occurred after she lost her Rakshasa Godhood.

But tonight.

All she needs to do is finish this meal.

Then return to the sixth floor of the True Dragon Tower.

Tomorrow morning.

She also needs to use her Soul Power to lift up a single drop of water.

A light mist rises from the lake in the early morning.

A gentle breeze rippled across the water's surface.

Outside the True Dragon Tower, steam rose from a teapot on a stone table.

Long Yao picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

Bibi Dong walked out of the tower.

She changed out of the Spirit Hall Pope's purple-gold robe and wore only a simple, dark purple brocade dress.

Her long hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, and she was not wearing the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown.

She walked to the stone table and bowed slightly to Long Yao.

"Owner."

Long Yao put down his teacup.

"Sit."

Bibi Dong sat down on the stone bench.

She looked at the empty porcelain cup in front of her, reached out and picked up the teapot, first refilling Long Yao with warm water, then pouring half a cup for herself.

The water flowed into the cup without creating a single ripple.

Bibi Dong's two Martial Soul Origin slowly rotated, and her purple-gold Soul Power sank deep into her meridians, no longer overflowing.

Light footsteps echoed on the stone steps.

Shui Yue'er ran up to the platform carrying a basket of washed green dates.

Shui Bing'er followed behind her, her steps slow and composed.

"Dean, the dates that Teacher Lin just picked from the orchard are very sweet."

Shui Yue'er placed the bamboo basket in the center of the stone table.

She picked out the biggest one and handed it to Long Yao.

Long Yao accepted the green dates.

Shui Yue'er took out another one and put it into Shui Bing'er's palm.

Then, she looked at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong looked up and met her gaze.

Shui Yue'er took out a slightly smaller one from the bottom of the basket and placed it on the corner of the table in front of Bibi Dong.

Here, have one.

Bibi Dong picked up a green date and took a small bite.

The crisp chewing broke the morning's tranquility.

The sweet juice melts on the tip of your tongue.

Bibi Dong looked at Shui Yue'er.

"It is indeed very sweet."

Shui Yue'er pulled herself down onto the stone bench, resting her chin on her hands.

"I knew Teacher Lin was the best at picking fruit."

Shui Bing'er finished eating the green dates in her hand and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her fingertips.

"After you finish eating, go and cultivate."

Shui Yue'er's shoulders slumped.

"The dean said yesterday that we'd practice water droplets this afternoon."

Long Yao at her.

"The Heavy Water Formation from this morning is still waiting for you."

Shui Yue'er sighed.

She grabbed two green dates and stuffed them into her pocket, then stood up and walked towards the third floor of the True Dragon Tower.

After bowing to Long Yao, Shui Bing'er moved to the White Jade Stone Platform by the lake.

The two figures began their morning exercises.

Bibi Dong finished the remaining half of the date.

She looked at Long Yao.

What will I practice today?

Long Yao towards the center of the lake.

Take a drop of water and hold it three inches above your fingertip.

"The water droplets must not be allowed to evaporate, nor should they be deformed; they must be maintained for one hour."

Bibi Dong stood up and walked towards the lake.

She raised her right hand.

With a slight twitch of her fingertip, a water droplet the size of a grain of rice detached from the lake's surface and landed above her index finger.

A purple-gold Soul Power seeped out from his fingertips, transforming into an extremely thin net that held the water droplet in place.

The water droplets swayed slightly.

The Soul-Eating Spider Emperor's power instinctively sought to devour the faint life force within the water droplet.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

The Death Spider Emperor's power of Bearing immediately intervened, forcibly dissolving the devouring intent.

The rice-grain-sized water droplet stabilized again three inches above the fingertip.

A deep hum suddenly rose from the sky.

The dazzling golden light that had enveloped the entire sky began to ripple violently.

The Azure Lotus pattern on the top of the True Dragon Tower glowed faintly.

Long Yao picked up his teacup and looked up at the empty space.

Shui Bing'er stopped the frost that was forming in her palm.

Shui Yue'er pushed open the stone window on the third floor and peeked out to look at the sky.

In that instant, the entire sky of the Douluo Continent was completely filled with silver light.

At the second position on the Golden Ranking, the chaotic golden light that had been obscured for so long churned violently.

The radiance of the nine Elements echoed each other in the sky.

Blazing, raging flames; heavy, oppressive earth; surging, howling storms; lightning that tears through the void; and bone-chilling frost.

Light and darkness intertwine to form a circle, while from the depths of the void, an aura of space and destruction continuously rises.

These incredibly powerful primordial forces of heaven and earth all converged at the center of the Golden Ranking.

The seals that obscured the text gradually dissolved.

A silver dragon head phantom, obscuring half the sky, emerged from the depths of the pillar of light.

The silver dragon scales are carved like crystal-clear jade, with nine-colored divine light flowing along the edge of each scale.

A pair of noble and majestic dragon eyes slowly opened.

Those were a pair of dragon eyes, as pure and deep as Water Crystal.

Dragon Eyes surveyed the land, and all the Soul Beast and living beings on the entire continent felt the absolute suppression emanating from the superior bloodline.

The golden characters, like the hammer blows of a god, appeared powerfully and resoundingly at the top of the sky.

[Second place on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking.]

[Gu Yuena.]

[True Form: Silver Dragon King]

[Identity: The embodiment of the Primordial Dragon God's spirit and the origin of Elements control; the supreme ruler of the Soul Beast Clan.]

[Realm Level: God King]

The moment the words appeared, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence.

Spirit City.

In front of the long steps of the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu slammed the Angel Scepter heavily onto the stone slab.

The Angel God Seal between his brows surged violently, and his Divine Aura almost overflowed from his body.

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a half step back, his face turning deathly pale.

"Great Enshrined... what's written on the Golden Ranking?"

"God King level?"

"How is this possible?"

Qian Daoliu looked up at the silver dragon head that blotted out the sky, the veins on the back of his hand holding the scepter bulging.

Above the God Level are priests, Third-Level God, Second-Level God, and First-Level God.

"Only those beings who surpass First-Level God can be called God King."

" By the Angel God above... a supreme Soul Beast at the level of God King is actually lurking in the depths of the continent!"

Beside the ruins of the Papal Palace.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood frozen in the white jade square.

The Titled Douluo Soul Power within the two individuals was completely frozen, unable to circulate even an inch.

Ghost Douluo murmured softly.

"God King level..."

"Our Spirit Hall has been plotting against the continent for hundreds of years, and yet this monster has been lying beneath our feet all along?"

The Far North.

Within the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Cave.

The Snow Empress emerged from her cave, her white skirt billowing in the blizzard.

Beside her, Ice Empress raised its two emerald green scorpion pincers, the venomous gleam on its stingers completely concealed.

Ice Empress looked up at the sky, his voice dry.

"Sister Snow Empress... The Master of the Di Tian is actually the God King?"

Snow Empress clasped his hands in front of him, his expression more serious than ever before.

No wonder Di Tian was willing to submit.

"Back then, the Dragon Clan ruled the Divine Realm, their might shaking the universe. As an avatar of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King naturally possessed the power of God King."

"The entire Douluo Continent is but a drop in the ocean in her eyes."

Star Dou Great Forest.

The Core Circle, the Lake of Life.

The calm lake surface was churned up into giant waves tens of meters high.

The Xiong Jun's massive body lay prone on the ground, its two Dark Gold Dreadclaw deeply embedded in the soil.

All the tree roots and vines of the Myriad Demon King drooped down, not daring to sway even slightly.

The Scarlet King's three heads were pressed tightly to the ground, and a whimper rolled from deep within his throat.

Bi Ji knelt on the grass by the lake, her hands clasped tightly to her chest, her emerald green eyes filled with piety and reverence.

Di Tian stood in the sky above the center of the lake.

The dark gold dragon wings behind him were fully unfurled, Dragon God Guards Commander Seal shone brightly between his brows.

"My Master..."

Di Tian lowered his head and looked down at the emerald green lake water that rippled with nine colors.

Deep beneath the lake, the slender, perfectly proportioned figure of a silver-haired woman floated within a void formation.

The Silver Dragon Spear lay silently across her knees.

Gu Yuena opened her purple eyes, her gaze piercing through the lake water and landing on the Golden Ranking.

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking... has ultimately thrust me into the limelight."

Her tone was calm and even, without the slightest fluctuation.

Having slumbered for hundreds of thousands of years, she had been secretly accumulating power, evading the surveillance of the Divine Realm.

Now that the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking has been published, the gaze of the Divine Realm will sooner or later penetrate the dimensional barrier.

Di Tian landed on the lakeside and knelt on one knee.

"My Master, if the Divine Realm senses anything, Di Tian swears to protect you with his Master!"

Gu Yuena's figure swayed slightly and emerged from the bottom of the lake.

She stood barefoot on the water, her long silver hair cascading down to her ankles, her purple eyes gleaming with a light that seemed to see through eternity.

It's alright.

"The power of the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking surpasses the rules of the Divine Realm. Even those so-called Enforcer of the Divine Realm cannot see through the disguise of the Golden Ranking at this moment."

"They can only know that changes have occurred on the Douluo Continent, but they cannot calculate where I am hiding."

Skywater Academy

Lakeside platform.

The water droplet on Bibi Dong's fingertip trembled violently.

The water droplets, the size of rice grains, nearly spilled.

She steadied herself, completely concealed the Soul Power of the two Spider Emperors, and looked up at the sky in disbelief.

"Silver Dragon King..."

"God King level..."

Bibi Dong turned to look at Long Yao, who was sitting by the stone table with a calm expression.

She had previously heard Long Yao mention the existence of the second-place winner while she was in Spirit City.

At the time, Long Yao said that Bibi Dong was not qualified to know.

Now, seeing the Golden Ranking of winners, Bibi Dong finally understood the weight of Long Yao's words.

God King.

That is the highest level that rules over the Divine Realm.

Even if the Rakshasa God himself descended, he could only bow down and submit before the God King.

She was a newly promoted God Level who had just broken through Level 100 and did not yet Godhood. In the eyes of the God King, she was indeed as insignificant as dust.

"Master... you knew all along that she was the God King?"

Bibi Dong asked softly.

Long Yao put down his teacup and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table twice.

"Of course I know."

"At her peak, when she merged with the Golden Dragon King, she would have become the supreme Dragon God who once swept across the Divine Realm."

"Even the God King needs to join forces to contend with her."

Shui Yue'er slid down from the stone window on the third floor and ran all the way to the stone table.

She grabbed the teapot on the stone table, took a big gulp, and wiped the tea from the corner of her mouth.

"Dean! Just how powerful is God King level?"

How much more powerful is he than Qian Daoliu?

Shui Bing'er slowly walked onto the platform and stopped beside Shui Yue'er.

"Qian Daoliu is only below the God Level."

"Senior Bibi Dong has just reached the God Level."

"Above the God Level are first-level, second-level, and Third-Class Deity, with the God King being the pinnacle, surpassing all other gods."

Shui Bing'er looked at Long Yao, her beautiful eyes filled with a questioning look.

"Dean, is Bing'er right?"

Long Yao nodded slightly.

"Very close."

"With a wave of his hand, the God King can destroy a star field and reshape the Heaven and Earth Laws."

Shui Yue'er opened her mouth wide, and the green jujube in her mouth almost fell out.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Then... there's such a monster lurking in the Star Dou Great Forest. Aren't we human Soul Master just constantly teetering on the brink of death by going in there to hunt Soul Beast every day?"

Long Yao spoke calmly.

"If she hadn't been so severely injured and hadn't been in a deep sleep recuperating, there would have been no place for human Soul Master on the continent long ago."

The image of the Golden Ranking on the sky changed again.

The text that was originally displayed gradually disappeared, and a vast and boundless starry sky took its place.

Soul Master from all over the mainland held their breath.

The scene depicts not the mountains and rivers of the Douluo Continent, but a magnificent and sacred realm.

The Divine Realm!

Countless temples floated above the auspicious, multicolored clouds, their divine light shining brightly.

In the very center of the void, a colossal dragon shadow, its body piercing through the galaxy, roared to the heavens.

Nine-colored dragon scales covered the dragon's body, and nine primordial powers transformed into nine blazing suns that hovered behind it.

That was the Primordial Dragon God at its peak!

The text appears at the appropriate time at the edge of the image.

In ancient times, the Dragon God ruled over all beasts and created the divine realm.

[The Dragon God possesses both supreme divine power and ultimate wisdom; his physical body is indestructible, and his origin is unparalleled.]

A great war suddenly broke out due to the struggle for the Divine Realm order and Godhood.

[The Five Great God Kings, along with the Asura God, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Evil, and the Godess of Kindness, rallied all the gods of the Divine Realm to besiege the Dragon God.]

Within the painting, the war of the gods erupted completely.

The Asura God Sword unleashed a crimson light that stretched for ten thousand miles, destructive lightning tore through the void, and the light of life and good and evil intertwined to form a binding array.

Heaven and earth collapsed, and countless gods fell like rain.

The Dragon God suffered irreversible damage under the siege of the gods and went berserk.

The Asura God, wielding Judgment Greatsword, slashed down from the heavens!

A crimson sword light swept across the star field, cleaving the colossal body of the incomparably massive Dragon God in two!

Despite the earth-shattering lament, the Dragon God did not perish completely.

The moment its physical body was cleaved open, two completely different primordial light orbs burst forth from its core.

A blazing, violent mass, entirely crimson gold, brimming with boundless power, destructive and annihilating instincts.

The crimson-gold light transformed into a ferocious, roaring dragon, carrying a destructive will as it crashed into the Divine Realm prison.

[Golden Dragon King.]

[Inherited the Dragon God's unparalleled physical body, absolute power, and destructive killing instinct.]

[It has been suppressed and sealed in the Divine Forbidden Land by the combined power of the Divine Realm.]

On the other side, a pure and translucent silver ball of light quietly unfolded.

Nine-colored Elemental God flowed around him, and his Divine Soul power was as vast as the ocean.

Silver light coalesced into a graceful dragon with outstretched wings, and the Nine Elemental Origins formed a protective barrier around its body.

[Silver Dragon King.]

[Inheriting the supreme wisdom of the Dragon God, the origin of Elements control, and the ultimate spiritual Divine Core.]

[At the moment the Dragon God's Split, the Silver Dragon King, relying on his control over the Spatial Origin, tore apart the barrier of the Divine Realm.]

[Escaped the pursuit of the Five Great God Kings and broke through the boundary to escape.]
