Who's the Number One and So Awesome?

How could she have forgotten about this!

"Then what do we do?"

"Use the conditions to stall the Fifth Generation Void Engine, or... just pray that the Liesun Civilization won't choose the Void Engine."

Karl's expression was grave. "And I think it's very unlikely the Liesun Civilization will pick the third condition."

The Void Engine might be what Karl wanted most, but to the Liesun Civilization, it was nothing special.

The Liesun Civilization still lived on a shattered planet—by all logic, they should choose that Ring World instead.

"I see."

Morgana's expression eased slightly, then turned sour. "Handing fate over to someone else—that feeling really pisses me off."

Karl nodded. "So, I believe the real focus should be on the Ranking List itself."

He said in a low voice, "Judging by the current trend, all the technology in the Known Universe is probably recorded on this Ranking List. Neither Principal Ji Lan, nor I, nor Holy Keisha can compare to it... no, I suspect the three of us combined can't match even a fraction of it."

"Since it already exists, we might as well shift our focus to the Ranking List itself."

"Damn, that's just bullshit!"

Morgana was deeply frustrated. "Our Demon Civilization is treated like a stepchild! No tech, no troops. Bullying Blue Star is one thing, but you want us to go head-to-head with the Liesun Civilization and the Angel Civilization in terms of heritage?"

"It's the only way."

Karl's voice was gentle. "Liang Bing, you're smart. You should understand this too..."

After hearing Karl's persuasion, Morgana fell silent.

She did know.

The problem was she didn't want to face it.

That elusive Ranking List had burned all her plans of many years to ashes.

Now she had to rely on development to outpace the Angel Civilization?

Wasn't that ridiculous?!

And she couldn't see any chance of victory.

The Liesun Civilization has concluded its selection

The Liesun Civilization has obtained Ring World *1

The words on the Light Screen fell into the eyes of all civilizations.

Some rejoiced, some worried.

Those who worried wondered why the Liesun Civilization hadn't chosen the Void Engine.

Those who rejoiced were glad the Liesun Civilization hadn't chosen the Void Engine.

"Maybe your choice was the right one, Leina."

Pan Zhen closed his eyes.

He had originally intended to choose the Void Engine.

For the public good, a more powerful Chief God of the Sun would naturally stabilize the Liesun Civilization's strength.

For personal reasons, if Leina obtained the Void Engine, his Heavenly Dao Plan would be visibly within reach.

And just then.

A sudden anomaly erupted on Liesun Star!

"Huummm——"

A long, drawn-out tremor rippled out from the Liesun Star System!

Pan Zhen instinctively looked up.

He saw a sight he would never forget in his lifetime!

Strange alloys materialized one after another, as if growing out of the void itself!

Countless substances combined.

Finally, they formed an enormous structure...

No, it should be called a celestial wonder!

A massive super-celestial wonder slowly rotating around Liesun Star!

It covered the entire Liesun Star, like a super-giant wrapping its arms around it!

Every living being on Liesun Star witnessed this spectacle!

Countless Liesun residents stood dumbfounded.

Some even began to pray!

A miracle!

No, even gods couldn't do something like this!

The power of gods is destruction.

But creation... that is the power of the Creator!

"A Ring World? This... is a Ring World?"

Sunlight Empress Di Leina: Hey? Pan Zhen, see that? I claimed it, did you receive it?

Pan Zhen couldn't comprehend the wondrous sight before him.

Guardian God Pan Zhen: I can't explain the changes I'm seeing... But in terms of results, Liesun Star has indeed received a massive Ring World.

Sunlight Empress Di Leina: Really? Damn, it's real!

Fallen Queen Morgana: Hmph, all thanks to that bitch Keisha, hoarding her reward and hiding it. Look at them!

Angel King Keisha: I was afraid you'd piss your pants if you knew the truth.

Fallen Queen Morgana: What did you say!? You think I'm scared of you?

Angel King Keisha: You only dare to bark at me in the comments.

Meanwhile.

After learning that the rewards were truly being distributed, every civilization in the universe was shocked once again!

But at the same time, an even greater doubt rose in their hearts!

"Even the Angel Civilization can only rank third, and the Liesun Civilization second—so who's first?"

"Right! It can't be some low-level civilization in first place, can it?"

"Maybe it's us, the Yi Ren Civilization."

"An Angel Civilization dog, worthy of being first?"

"What did you say!?" The Yi Ren Civilization erupted in fury.

"Other low-level civilizations are even less likely... Otherwise, what civilization could rank above Liesun and the Angels?"

"Could it be the Nether River Civilization?" someone guessed.

"That's very possible!"

"Right, there's the Nether River Civilization too!"

With so many intelligent beings across the universe, a flood of comments buzzed with debate.

On this point, Karl was the clearest.

He knew deep down it couldn't be the Nether River Civilization.

If so... who was number one?

"It's not the Nether River Civilization."

"Karl, you say it can't be the Nether River Civilization?"

Morgana was surprised. "Then who's first?"

"If I knew, I'd tell you." Karl smiled bitterly.

"It might be the Blue Star Civilization," A Tuo offered his guess. "Even though their tech level is low, their civilian technology is pretty well-developed."

"Impossible. The Blue Star Civilization can't even compare to those Angel dogs, let alone the Nether River Civilization."

Morgana immediately shot down A Tuo's guess.

By the same logic, those Heavenly Court scumbags wouldn't be on the list either.

She thought for a moment.

"Could there be a civilization in the Known Universe that we don't know about?"

Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how bizarre, must be the only answer.

"I dunno," Suo Dun said, waving his weapon carelessly. "Does that thing taste good?"

"Get lost, go somewhere cool and stay there!"

Morgana nearly choked on her anger.

She had to face the strongest Angel Civilization in the universe and the super-gene warriors left behind by the great principal Time Ji Lan.

And her teammate was like this.

That one sentence nearly made Morgana lose her composure.

"Liang Bing, you're still as sharp as ever."

Karl highly approved of Morgana's guess.

"Stop sucking up to me!"

Morgana's brows furrowed deeply. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

She gave up thinking, since guessing was useless.

Because.

Next, the Ranking List would reveal the final number one.
