After Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu and God Sword Douluo Su Mengjun disappeared from the sky's light screen, the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect members, who had been conversing, stopped in unison.
Most beings on the Douluo Continent also paused what they were doing and uniformly focused their attention on the sky screen.
Looking up at the sky screen, all beings wanted to know what type of new ranking list would be revealed, whether it would be related to them, and if so, whether they could make it onto the list.
In various parts of the Douluo Continent, without exception, beings were discussing animatedly.
"What do you think the next ranking list will be?"
"Who cares what ranking list it is, as long as I can get on it, it's a good ranking list!"
"Me too!"
"If it's a pauper's ranking list, that would be great; I'd definitely make it onto that one."
"What do you think, if the sky screen shows a waste ranking list later, who would take the first position?"
"I don't know who would take first place on the waste ranking list, I only know that noble Spirit Masters couldn't possibly be on it."
...
Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, known for its immense wealth.
"Little Ao, what do you think the next sky screen ranking list will be?" Ning Rongrong asked Oscar, her lips parting slightly as she gazed at the dazzling light screen in the sky.
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, a thought immediately popped into Oscar's mind.
"The sky screen ranking list isn't made by me, how would I know?"
Of course, Oscar only dared to think it; he wouldn't dare say it to Ning Rongrong.
After a moment of thought, Oscar slowly opened his mouth and gave his answer.
"I don't know."
Following that, Oscar also provided the reason for his lack of knowledge.
"The first sky screen ranking list was the human expert monologue ranking, the second was the strongest Spirit ranking, and the third was the strongest Spirit Beast ranking.
"There's no discernible pattern to the appearance of these sky screen ranking lists.
"Perhaps, apart from the existence that created the ranking lists, no other existence would know what the next sky screen ranking list will be."
Upon receiving Oscar's answer and its reason, Ning Rongrong nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Ning Rongrong once again parted her lips, asking Oscar another question.
"Then, Little Ao, who do you think created the ranking lists?"
Oscar: "..."
Oscar's silence was deafening at this moment.
Who is the existence that created the ranking lists?
Ning Rongrong, you really dare to ask!
In Oscar's opinion, no being on the current Douluo Continent would know who created the sky screen ranking lists; presumably, only the supreme Gods in the God Realm would know.
Facing Ning Rongrong's second question, Oscar did not provide an answer.
While not answering, Oscar, like Ning Rongrong, also wanted to know who created the ranking lists—was it a human God or a Spirit Beast God?
...
The vast Vast God Realm, God Forbidden Zone.
After some commotion, the great battle concluded.
The Golden Dragon King was very strong, effortlessly invincible in its realm, which was not a big problem, but in the end, it still lost.
Facing six God Kings?
Perhaps only the Dragon God and Phoenix God could remain undefeated and win!
Roar!
After an unwilling dragon roar echoed in the God Forbidden Zone, a sword light sliced across the Golden Dragon King's head.
The next moment, the Golden Dragon King split in two, its body and head separated!
The instant the Golden Dragon King's body and head separated, its divine core burst forth from its mouth.
"Want to escape?"
"Dream on!"
After the clear and pleasant voice of Angel God rang out, she unleashed her ultimate skill.
"Angel, Judgment, Sanction!!!"
...
Under the gaze of countless beings, as the dazzling light screen in the sky underwent a visibly clear change, it slowly revealed the new ranking list following the Artifact Ranking List and the Martial Soul Fusion Technique Ranking List.
As the sky screen revealed the new ranking list, an awe-inspiring voice resonated across the Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Continent, and... the vast God Realm!
The moment the voice rang out in the vast God Realm, a very conspicuous light screen also appeared in the sky of the vast Vast God Realm!
"Next, a new ranking list will be revealed!"
"The new ranking list is called the talent ranking list!"
"The talent ranking list is different from previous ranking lists!"
"Previous ranking lists only offered rewards."
"This ranking list will have punishments!"
"The talent ranking list, as its name suggests, features only talented individuals."
"Talented individuals can be good, or they can be bad."
"Good talented individuals will undoubtedly receive rewards."
"Bad talented individuals will undoubtedly receive punishments."
"Among the rewards are opportunities to defy fate and change destiny."
"And the punishments are also difficult for beings to accept!"
The voice rang out, and the light screen appeared, causing Angel God, who had just struck a fatal blow to the Golden Dragon King's divine core, to freeze.
"What... what is that thing?"
Her beautiful eyes stared intently at the light screen that appeared in the sky, observing its contents, as Angel God murmured to herself, curiosity welling up within her.
Accompanying the curiosity was a strong intuition!
The intuition told Angel God that the golden meteor she had obtained was inextricably linked to the thing in the sky!
Boom!
No sooner had Angel God's words fallen than a powerful divine force erupted.
Along with the divine force, incredibly powerful and sharp sword qi and killing intent also erupted!
Angel God understood that Asura God had made his move!
Towards the light screen in the sky, Asura God unleashed two sword strikes!
Two sword strikes produced two streams of sword qi.
The two streams of sword qi crossed each other, forming a cross, a killing move aimed at the light screen in the sky.
This move by Asura God was formidable; a First Rank God would at least be severely injured if they encountered it!
"I want to see what kind of demon or monster you are, daring to cause trouble in the God Realm!" Asura God said after unleashing a killing move.
Soon, Asura God's killing move collided with the sky screen.
Boom!!!
The moment Asura God's killing move touched the sky screen, a bolt of heavenly lightning directly struck Asura God!
"What?!"
The sudden heavenly lightning caught Asura God off guard, and by the time he reacted and tried to dodge or defend, it was too late.
The heavenly lightning was incredibly fast!
The heavenly lightning contained immense energy!
Watching the rolling heavenly lightning approaching, Asura God's pupils continuously dilated; his eyes were filled with shock, and at this moment, his sense of crisis exploded!
Boom!!!
The heavenly lightning struck, hitting Asura God directly.
The heavenly lightning dissipated, leaving only the severely injured Asura God.
Everything happened so quickly that the Gods present barely reacted.
"Little Green, heal him." God of Destruction spoke, reminding the stunned Life Goddess.
After speaking, God of Destruction shifted his gaze from Asura God and then focused on the sky screen.
"What is that thing?" God of Destruction murmured to himself, his heart filled with curiosity.
