Iron Tomb's Defeat, the TOP 1 Reward!

[Meanwhile]

[The power of all the Chrysos Heirs gathered in one place, forming a dazzling pink longbow.]

[Cyrene held the bow and drew its string to the limit! The moment she loosed the arrow, it split into countless rays of light that pierced the sky.]

[Those were four hundred million epics, the path of the Flame-Chase! Love became a mighty river, opening the road to dawn!]

[Ten thousand paths wove together as one!]

[This was the power of love the Chrysos Heirs had never forgotten.]

[And so, love and hatred joined forces to meet Iron Tomb's ultimate power to destroy the universe.]

[The power of hatred suppressed Iron Tomb's Destruction Energy.]

[And the power of love purified Iron Tomb's fury.]

[Love overwrote Iron Tomb's cold Destruction Equation, washing it clean until nothing remained.]

[Iron Tomb's body began to waver: First Cause, Destruction, denied! Calculating a new answer...]

[At that moment, every gaze in the Galaxy turned toward this place.]

[Iron Tomb's body gradually fell apart.]

[It shattered with a thunderous boom!]

[At last, Iron Tomb, the Lord Ravager born within the Scepter, fell!]

[Meanwhile, Lygus froze for a moment.]

[Then Lygus smiled at the outcome.]

[He accepted defeat with ease, for the Administrator's annotation in the Iron Tomb System read: Process.]

[Then the Genius dismantled himself and met his end.]

[With that, Lygus's Conspiracy was undone.]

[The Galactic Alliance Army erupted in cheers!]

Watching Lygus perish like that, many people could not help feeling a thousand emotions.

Douluo I World.

The Silver Dragon King fell silent at the sight.

Lygus had restored her to her prime and let her experience power on an even higher level.

She had never expected someone as powerful as Lygus to meet such an end.

Was this the dignity of the strong and the wise?

Beside her, Di Tian still felt a chill of fear.

Thank goodness he had not rashly provoked Phainon's shop. If he had angered Phainon, he might have brought disaster upon the entire Soul Beast Clan!

Meanwhile, in Douluo II World.

Jing Hongchen felt much the same.

To him, Lygus's guidance had made him half a teacher.

Now, he admired Lygus even more.

For he had not seen a trace of uncertainty in Lygus.

Even in death, Lygus's resolve had never wavered.

At Shrek Academy, only Xuan Zi's expression darkened.

To him, Lygus defeating him with a single effortless blow had been an insult.

Lygus could have treated him the way he had treated Jing Hongchen, yet he had struck him so hard instead. It was blatant favoritism. Well, look how that had ended!

In the Parallel-Timeline Divine Realm.

Ma Hongjun could not help remarking:

"Phainon's strength was far beyond anything I imagined. Lygus had no shame in losing!"

"But Lygus really was an opponent worthy of respect and fear."

"I just hope we never face anyone like him. That would be too hopeless!"

Tang San nodded, still shaken.

Thankfully, the Destruction God King was nowhere near as clever!

Douluo I World.

Heaven Dou City.

Phainon's Clothing Store.

Qian Renxue was stunned too.

For one thing, Phainon was terrifyingly fierce!

Fierce enough to take Iron Tomb head-on!

He was a monster!

But she also thought:

"A villain at the end of his road could depart with such composure. Lygus truly deserved to be called a Genius."

In truth.

Even as his enemy, Phainon felt that Lygus's will was unshakable.

After all, not a single person on the Aeon of Destruction's side had stepped in during the final battle.

Never mind an Emanator!

They had not even sent out the Antimatter Legion!

How were those two supposed to fight the entire Galactic Alliance Army?

Did Phainon feel guilty about it?

Of course not. This was a righteous, loving dogpile.

The Sky Curtain continued to shift:

[The shadows dispersed, and Amphoreus became an observable celestial body.]

[And the being who represented Remembrance would reshape Amphoreus and the lives within it.]

[One familiar face after another appeared in the light once more.]

[Cyrene, Aglaea, Tribbie...]

Phainon's Clothing Store.

Qian Renxue looked at Phainon and asked, puzzled:

"So by 'wrapping dumplings,' you meant everyone would come back, right? But why didn't I see you there?"

Phainon smiled and pointed at himself:

"Aren't I right here?"

[Douluo Continent's Most Melancholy Person, TOP 1: Khaslana]

[Ranking complete]

Looking at the Sky Curtain, everyone felt an unexpected sense of loss.

It was over?

Just like that?

Before they knew it, they had begun to prefer the Aeon Universe, dangerous as it was and filled with Galactic Romance!

They wanted to watch a little longer!

What happened to Amphoreus afterward?

What other stories awaited Phainon and the others?

And what happened next to the Stellaron Sprite?

Compared with the dull tales of Douluo Continent, the romance among the stars seemed far more interesting!

Yet everyone knew it was time for Phainon's reward to be settled.

What would the Sky Curtain give him?

After all, TOP 2 Tang Wulin and TOP 3 Gu Yuena had gained enormous increases in strength!

They had even received Super Divine Artifacts.

What reward could possibly match Phainon?

Even Phainon sat up straight!

He was a little eager to find out himself.

Aha had kept him in suspense for so long. Surely he had to produce something worthwhile!

[Khaslana received the following rewards:]

[Custom-made special-edition Mask of Elation ×1]

[Aha's specially made Astral Express Ticket ×1. This ticket was guaranteed to pull gold!]

???

Only two things?

That seemed a little skimpy!

What was this Mask of Elation?

Had Phainon gained the power of the Path of Elation too?

To those watching the Sky Curtain, gaining the power of a Path now seemed more desirable than gaining the power of a god.

But the Astral Express Ticket puzzled them even more.

Was Phainon going to board the Astral Express?

Wasn't the Astral Express in the Aeon Universe?

The Parallel-Timeline Divine Realm.

The Destruction God King now understood completely that his strength fell far short of Phainon's.

And Phainon had received a reward from the Sky Curtain on top of that.

An idea took shape in his mind:

Perhaps I should change my approach and ask Phainon for guidance?

The Destruction God King hesitated. Wouldn't that count as interfering with the lower realm?

The next moment, his eyes lit up:

"What defines the Divine Realm? It's the pinnacle of power!"

"But the problem is, someone in the lower realm is stronger than me!"

"Whichever plane is stronger is the Divine Realm!"

"I'm going there to further my studies!"

The Destruction God King felt he had convinced himself!

Elsewhere.

Tang San was stunned too!

If he could receive a reward tied to a Path, he would no longer need to fear the Destruction God King.

But the Aeon Universe's power system was too hard to fathom!

Ma Hongjun was dumbstruck as well.

He had thought the reward he received for making the list was already excellent, but it was nowhere near Phainon's.

Still, he was more than satisfied that Bai Chenxiang could be brought back to life.

Douluo III World.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue did not know what the mask and ticket did.

But they were certain those rewards were worth no less than their own.

After watching the Sky Curtain, they understood that their universe's so-called Super Divine Artifacts and Soul Power Levels were no match for the Aeon Universe!

But they had already received a reward once.

The Sky Curtain's rewards were free gifts to begin with. How could they ask for more?

Douluo I World.

Sunset Forest.

Elsewhere, Yu Xiaogang burst out laughing after seeing the Sky Curtain's rewards.

Across from him, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked utterly baffled:

"Yu Xiaogang, are you having another episode? What's so funny?"

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and said:

"If the person ranked first on the Melancholy List can gain the power of the Path of Elation, then if I reach TOP 0, won't I become something like an Emanator?"

Tang San had been a little disappointed, but Yu Xiaogang's words stirred his interest.

If his teacher soared to greatness, wouldn't everyone around him rise along with him?

Dai Mubai and the others grew excited too:

"Why don't we beat you up again?"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned green. Chrysanthemum Douluo was still here. If he got beaten up again, how could he show his face?

He waved a hand and said:

"Since it's already set in stone, there's no need to make any more effort. Let's just watch the Sky Curtain."

And at that moment.

The major powers were all sending people to Heaven Dou City.

They had only one goal: to win Phainon's friendship!

After all, he was a being who surpassed even a God King!

If he offered them a few pointers, they might soar straight into the sky!

When they heard that Phainon had opened a clothing store in Heaven Dou City, the leaders of every faction were dumbfounded.

But a moment later, they were overjoyed:

A store was perfect!

They had been racking their brains for a chance to get on Phainon's good side!

Heaven Dou City erupted!

Phainon, the shopkeeper, had become a Masked Fool.

And the yellow-and-purple clothes everyone owned had shot up in value once again!

Anyone in Heaven Dou City with a little money to spare had bought at least some of Phainon's clothes.

This time, they had caught the wind and ridden it upward too.

They might not have received a reward from the Sky Curtain, but their clothes were worth more now!

Thank you, Lord Phainon!

Meanwhile, inside Phainon's Clothing Store...

Qian Renxue, Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, Snake Lance Douluo, and the others looked at Phainon.

Qian Renxue looked puzzled and anxious.

"Didn't the Sky Curtain give out a reward? Why can't I see anything?"

"Don't tell me it skipped us?"

"What are the Mask and Ticket for?"

The reward for first place had to be something extraordinary! Qian Renxue thought.

If it had skipped them, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
