Shui Yue'er stared at those two words for a long time before turning her head away.

"It really is you."

Long Yao moved the teacup in front of Bibi Dong.

The water's getting cold.

Bibi Dong looked at the teapot in her hand.

She poured him a full cup of tea, carefully placed the teapot down, and then looked up again.

The Silver Dragon King was only second.

She had considered this idea before.

But speculation and seeing it with your own eyes are ultimately different.

The Golden Ranking successful candidates placed Long Yao's name above Gu Yuena's.

There are no parallels.

There is no dispute.

Those two words topped the list.

"Master, your cultivation level..."

Bibi Dong could finish her question, the Golden Ranking changed again.

[Identity: Dean of the Skywater Academy, Master of the True Dragon Tower.]

[Cultivation is not restricted by the Soul Ring system.]

[Power does not rely on Godhood Inheritance.]

[Not subject to the control of the Divine Realm Core authority.]

With each line of text, the blue light surrounding the top of the list became clearer.

Bibi Dong's gaze lingered on the last line.

She had cultivated with the Rakshasa Divine Power and knew deeply what the inheritance of the Divine Realm meant.

Even though she has severed her lineage, the path she has chosen still faces the rules of the Divine Realm.

Ke Long Yao was not among them.

He is not without Godhood.

Rather, there is no need for Godhood at all.

Shui Bing'er looked at the line of text about Soul Ring.

"So, you never release your Soul Ring."

"I do not need to rely on Soul Ring to unleash my power."

Long Yao picked up his teacup.

Shui Yue'er gazed at the figure in the green robe against the sky, she suddenly recalled the words spoken in the Heavy Water Formation.

Where should the power be directed?

Why does Heavy Water sink?

Why do water droplets disperse?

She used to think that it was the dean who taught her how to control her Soul Power.

Looking at the words on the list now, she realizes that the teachings she heard were perhaps only the most superficial level.

On the Golden Ranking.

The section concerning the assessment of one's spiritual realm has yet to be addressed, and no written description has appeared.

A golden pattern approached the figure in the green robe.

The gold pattern stopped before it even touched the hem of her clothes.

The second course.

The third course.

Nine golden patterns condensed simultaneously, slowly rotating around that figure.

Bibi Dong saw it clearly.

When Golden Ranking previously assessed Gu Yuena, he directly gave her the title of God King.

At this moment, however, the Golden Ranking has yet to be finalized.

"Can't the results be predicted on the Golden Ranking?"

After asking the question, Shui Yue'er first looked at Long Yao.

He did not answer.

The tea on the stone table remained still.

The nine golden patterns in the sky stopped at that moment.

The new gold plaque has finally been finalized.

[Realm: Beyond God King.]

[The existing God Level hierarchy is immeasurable.]

[Soul Power Level, Not Applicable]

Bibi Dong pressed her fingertips against the edge of the table.

She once thought that Long Yao and Gu Yuena were both God King, but Long Yao was stronger.

However, the Golden Ranking did not show the Peak God King.

Not the first among the God King.

Rather, Beyond God King.

Shui Bing'er took a soft breath.

She didn't ask what level of attainment that was.

Even the Golden Ranking cannot be measured by the existing ranking system, so even if she asks about a name now, she cannot truly understand the gap between them.

Shui Yue'er looked at her right hand.

Yesterday, the dean even picked up that withered leaf that she had wet.

Today, Golden Ranking told her that the power possessed by that hand had exceeded the limits of God King.

She put her hands back on her knees and sat up straight.

Long Yao at her.

Why aren't you eating?

"I..."

Shui Yue'er looked at the Lotus Seed Soup, then looked up at the sky.

"I'll finish reading first."

The Golden Ranking continues to unfold.

Behind the figure in the green robe, a familiar tall tower appeared.

True Dragon Tower.

The lake surrounds the base of the pagoda, and a stone path leads to the Outer Court.

The scene didn't linger in the distance, but instead passed through the tower gate and landed directly on the seventh floor.

A blue lotus pedestal.

Nine lotus leaves.

Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on it, with the two great Spider Emperor standing on either side.

She saw herself in the image channeling her Soul Power and crashing into the Level 100 barrier.

The barrier is not activated.

The force of the recoil caused blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth.

Beside the lotus platform, Long Yao raised his hand and pointed at the two Martial Soul.

A ray of blue light fell.

The intertwined origins were separated one by one and rearranged.

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly.

At the time, she was only focused on breaking through her limits and didn't see clearly what that wisp of blue light was doing.

Now that the Golden Ranking had unfolded the screen, she realized that the azure light had not increased her Soul Power.

It simply allowed the original sources, which were originally unconnected, to find their respective places.

To Bearing.

Refinement.

Unification.

The gate that blocked the Level 100 slowly opened before the complete loop.

[Without relying on divine Godhood, he paved the way to God Level.]

[This is the effect of Long Yao's guidance, not the upper limit of his combat power.]

The scene then shifts to the Papal Palace.

The purplish-black divine power transformed into chains, hidden deep within Bibi Dong's Divine Soul.

The Azure Lotus unfolds.

Long Yao flicked two fingers across the chain, and it snapped.

The Golden Ranking did not continue to show anything else that happened in front of the palace.

The image lingers on the severed divine connection.

[Severing the connection to the divine lineage.]

[To prevent the erosion of Godhood will.]

[This demonstrates Long Yao's application of the rules, not the limit of his power.]

Bibi Dong slowly released her hand from the edge of the table.

She finally understood.

That statement about changing the Pope wasn't a warning after Long Yao had used up many of his trump cards.

For him, that matter truly only required a single sentence.

Shui Yue'er gazed at the two scenes that were fading away one after another.

Why does the Golden Ranking keep saying that this isn't the upper limit?

Shui Bing'er looked at the top of the list.

"Because of these things, Golden Ranking cannot determine how much effort the dean truly exerted."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Long Yao again.

Long Yao did not deny it.

The Azure Lotus on the sky slowly closed.

All the images are combined into one place.

Outside the True Dragon Tower.

Stone table.

Teapot.

Two bowls of Lotus Seed Soup were placed on the table.

Shui Yue'er suddenly looked up.

I'm looking up from the top of the Golden Ranking.

She moved a little to the left.

The people in the picture move accordingly.

"It even captured this area?"

Bibi Dong stood by the stone table, no longer looking at the Golden Ranking.

She looked at Long Yao.

The Golden Ranking has already revealed his identity.

At this moment, Skywater Academy is no longer just an academy on the continent.

But the people in front of the stone table remained seated in the same place.

Long Yao put down his teacup and looked up at the sky.

The name has been written.

"There's no need to look here anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, the image reflected on the lakeside disappeared.

Shui Yue'er was stunned for a moment.

Golden Ranking really put away the screen.

There was no probing.

No further investigation was conducted.

Only the figure in the green robe remained at the top of the list, along with the Azure Lotus hanging beside him.

The last line of text appeared below Long Yao's name.

[Golden Ranking first on the honor roll, Long Yao.]

[There is no one in this world who can surpass him.]

Shui Yuerou followed the stone path to the platform.

She glanced at the sky, then looked at Long Yao sitting at the table, and bowed in greeting.

"Your Excellency, the teachers and students of the Outer Court are all awaiting your instructions."

Long Yao handed her the roster.

"Morning exercise as usual."

"The Water Control that were not completed yesterday will continue today."

Shui Yuerou took the roster.

"Yes."

She turned and walked down the platform.

Shui Bing'er put the now-cold breakfast into a food box, preparing to send it away to be reheated.

Bibi Dong picked up the teapot and refilled Long Yao's teacup.

Shui Yue'er looked down for a long time before finally picking up the spoon again.

"Your Excellency, Dean."

"Um?"

You're already number one on the Golden Ranking!

Long Yao at her.

She swallowed back what she was about to say and changed her words:

"I'll practice the Nine Inches technique first today."

Long Yao nodded.

"Let's eat first, then we'll go."

Shui Yue'er scooped up a Lotus Seed.

On the sky, Long Yao's name occupied the top spot.

At the stone table, she carefully finished eating the Lotus Seed she had peeled herself the night before.

Shui Yue'er scooped up a Lotus Seed.

The Lotus Seed hadn't even been put into my mouth yet.

The Golden Ranking on the sky lit up again.

The Azure Lotus behind Long Yao slowly rotated.

A crimson-gold dragon shadow appeared among the nine lotus leaves.

The dragon's shadow lingered deep within the void.

Scales cover the Milky Way.

Nine primal forces surround the dragon's body.

Flames, earth, thunder, ice, storms, light, darkness, space, and destruction all manifested simultaneously around the dragon's shadow.

Golden lettering then fell.

[Long Yao.]

[Origin: Primordial Dragon God.]

The spoon in Shui Yue'er's hand stopped in mid-air.

Shui Bing'er looked up at the sky.

Bibi Dong put down the teapot and her gaze fell on the crimson-gold dragon shadow.

The text on the Golden Ranking continues to be written.

[After the Primordial Dragon God perished, its essence did not completely dissipate.]

[The Dragon God Divine Soul is shattered.]

[The Dragon God's physical body collapsed.]

[The Dragon God True Spirit has entered the cycle of reincarnation.]

[After ten thousand years, it has been reincarnated and rebuilt.]

Outside of the Skywater Academy.

The lake water stopped flowing at that moment.

All the students from the Outer Court looked up.

Shui Yuerou stood in the middle of the stone path, the roster in her hand slipped to the ground.

She had already witnessed Long Yao's skills.

I've also seen Long Yao suppress Tang Hao with a single finger, Azure Lotus restrain Bibi Dong.

But she never thought of that.

Long Yao is actually the reincarnation of the Primordial Dragon God.

Shui Yue'er slowly put down the spoon.

"Is the Dean the Dragon God Reincarnation?"

Long Yao did not answer.

The image on the sky has changed.

A somber, gray world appeared on the Golden Ranking.

The land is shattered.

There were no cities or Soul Master on the land.

Countless Soul Beast knelt on the wasteland.

They looked up at the sky.

At the edge of the sky, a colossal dragon shadow was burning.

Nine primal energies continuously dissipated from the Divine Body.

Every drop of primal energy that falls causes massive cracks to appear on the earth.

Golden lettering appeared on one side of the screen.

[The gods of the Divine Realm besiege the Dragon God.]

[The Dragon God Origin has been severely damaged.]

[The Dragon God Divine Soul split.]

[The Dragon God's physical body disintegrated into fragments of its origin.]

The Dragon God in the picture raises its dragon head.

A pair of golden dragon eyes pierced through the Divine Realm.

Countless temples crumbled beneath those eyes.

A nine-colored ray of light flew out from between the Dragon God's eyebrows.

That is the Dragon God Divine Core.

The Divine Core did not fall into the Divine Realm.

It did not merge into any Soul Beast's body.

It traversed layers of space and fell toward a plane that was forming.

Douluo Continent.

At that time, the continent did not yet have the Soul Ring system.

The Heaven and Earth Laws are not yet complete.

Between mountains and rivers, only the most primal, original power exists.

The Dragon God Divine Core fell into the heart of the continent.

The nine origins then spread.

Flames formed a volcano.

The earth solidified into mountain ranges.

Thunderbolts struck the clouds.

Ice covers the north.

The storm swept along the coast.

Light and darkness stand at opposite ends of the universe.

The Spatial Origin then transforms into dimensional barriers.

The last wisp of the source of destruction sank into the deepest part of the continent.

The list of Golden Ranking has been published again.

[The Dragon God Origin fell into the Douluo Continent.]

[The Primal Nourishing Plane.]

[The rules governing different planes are gradually taking shape.]

[The bloodline of the Soul Beast is derived from the Dragon God Origin.]

Star Dou Great Forest.

Deep within the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena has stopped cultivating.

The Silver Dragon Realm Gate hovered beside her.

All nine Elements came to a standstill.

She looked up at the sky.

For the first time, a noticeable change appeared in his purple eyes.

"The Dragon God True Spirit has entered the mortal world..."

Di Tian knelt by the lake, without raising his head.

Bi Ji also looked up at the sky.

They always believed that the Dragon God had fallen.

The Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King are the last remaining essence left behind by the Dragon God.

But the Golden Ranking now tells them...

The Dragon God still possesses a wisp of true spirit.

That wisp of true spirit has been reincarnated as a human.

And it's located right at the Skywater Academy.

Gu Yuena looked in the direction of the Skywater Academy.

She raised her right hand.

The Silver Dragon Realm Gate opened slightly.

The spatial passage had barely appeared when it was sealed off by a beam of azure light.

Gu Yuena withdrew her hand.

"Heavenly Dao will not allow me to see his past life."

Di Tian bowed his head and said, "My Master, Long Yao is already aware of your existence."

"I know."

Gu Yuena looked at the figure in the green robe.

"He also knows who I am."

Above the sky.

The scene continues to change.

In a long period of darkness.

A tiny true spirit was slowly moving forward in the spatial turbulence.

It has no physical body.

There is no divine power.

There is no complete memory of it either.

Only a wisp of the Dragon God's essence remains, always guarding the True Spirit.

Time keeps passing by.

That true spirit underwent its first reincarnation.

The second cycle.

The third cycle.

Each time it reincarnates, the true spirit falls into silence because it cannot withstand the power of the Dragon God Origin.

Some people are born in mountain villages.

Some people are born in the royal city.

Some people become Soul Master.

Some people never awaken their Martial Soul in their entire lives.

The Golden Ranking quickly flashes through the scenes of each lifetime.

The full name is missing.

No specific facial features were described.

Only one blue dragon pattern always appears between the eyebrows of those who are reincarnated.

[The Dragon God True Spirit has undergone nine hundred and ninety-nine reincarnations.]

[In each cycle of reincarnation, I enter the world in the form of a mortal.]

[In each cycle of reincarnation, the original source has failed to be awakened.]

[The Dragon God True Spirit is gradually merging into the bloodline of the human race.]

Bibi Dong looked at those images.

She once believed that Long Yao's strength came from some kind of mysterious inheritance.

Now she understands.

Long Yao has never accepted Godhood.

They have not received any gifts from any deity.

He is simply living again and again.

Experience this world as an ordinary person.

Shui Bing'er looked at Long Yao beside her.

"Dean, do you remember these cycles of reincarnation?"

Long Yao picked up his teacup.

I remember part of it.

Shui Yue'er looked up and asked, "Did you eat Lotus Seed Soup before?"

Bibi Dong turned and glanced at her.

At a time like this, that's all she asked.

Long Yao put down his teacup.

I ate it in one of my past lives.

Shui Yue'er immediately pressed, "Is it sweet?"

"It's very bitter."

Shui Yue'er looked at the Lotus Seed Soup in the bowl.

She lowered her head and took a bite.

"This is sweeter."

Long Yao nodded.

So I stayed.

Shui Yue'er quieted down.

The scene in the sky changed again.

After nine hundred and ninety-nine reincarnations.

On a desolate mountain.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky.

A newborn baby was placed in front of the dilapidated wooden house.

The baby did not have a dragon mark between his eyebrows.

There were no fluctuations of Soul Power within his body.

But at the moment of her birth.

All the Soul Beast in the entire mountain range lay prostrate on the ground.

Beneath the snow, nine primordial sources awaken simultaneously.

A phantom image of an Azure Lotus appeared on the baby's chest.

The Azure Lotus has only one petal.

Hidden within the petals is a golden dragon whose eyes have not yet opened.

The words on the Golden Ranking slowly descended.

[The 1000th reincarnation.]

[The Dragon God True Spirit and the human body have completely merged.]

[The Dragon God Origin is sealed into the Divine Soul.]

[Long Yao, a reincarnated Divine Soul.]
