Wang Zhenshan tapped his finger on Fourth on the Heavenly Rankings.
"Freya of Northern Europe has held the position of Fourth on the Heavenly Rankings for twelve years, and no one has managed to dislodge her. But now, our Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters unanimously believes that your overall combat strength has surpassed hers."

"Once the news gets out, your becoming Fourth on the Heavenly Rankings will be a foregone conclusion."
After listening, Lin Jin lifted his teacup and took a sip. The Heavenly Rankings were merely a reference for him, but this list had at least given him a clearer understanding of the balance of power at the top of this world.

"Currently, first place on the Earth Ranking belongs to Erin Parker of North America's Freedom Alliance. She's at the Domain Realm peak, with the S-Rank superpower Light Energy Manipulation. They say she's only one moment of enlightenment away from the Transcendent Stage Realm."
"Second is Roland, the European Holy See's Apprentice Paladin Captain. Domain Realm peak, S-Rank Holy Light."
"Third is the Dark Moon Organization's First Seat Silver Moon.
