Chapter 287 Ranking Changes
An unknown place.
The Abyss Saint Lord's avatar sat cross-legged at the core of the black mist, his abyssal power surging violently around him.
A flicker of pain and resentment flashed in his bloodshot eyes as he raised his hand to his chest.
The intense power of the abyss surged into his body, barely suppressing the excruciating pain that was tearing his soul apart.
"Damn it... the strength of Beidou Academy is so formidable!"
The Abyss Saint King roared in a low voice, hoarse and venomous, "Moreover, with just this avatar of mine, I am simply unable to invade this continent and devour the fortune of living beings."
"Only by personally descending can the plan be completed!"
He lived for countless years, ruling the Abyss Plane, and was determined to devour the Douluo Continent and become a God-King.
However, now, the clone is severely injured and its strength has been greatly reduced.
Even self-defense has become a problem, let alone an invasion plan.
But when his gaze returned to the sky, he saw the name Gu Yuena at the top of the list, as well as the evaluation of the Soul Beast Lord and the Dragon God's Avatar.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and the black mist around him instantly solidified. Extreme greed and shock intertwined, making him forget the excruciating pain in his body.
"Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena...one of the Dragon God's incarnations!"
The Abyss Saint King's voice trembled violently, and the greed in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"The Dragon God! That is the supreme being in the God Realm. I never expected that the Dragon God was not completely killed in the great battle back then."
"Its clone, the Silver Dragon King, is actually hiding in this remote Douluo Continent!"
He ruled the Abyss Plane for countless years and knew all the secrets of the God Realm.
The Dragon God's power is unparalleled in the divine realm, a power that all planes and all god-kings dream of.
If one could devour Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon King bloodline and seize that vast Dragon God's fortune...
He can easily break through his own God-King bottleneck.
It is even possible that it will reach a level comparable to the Dragon God of yesteryear!
However, this greed was quickly suppressed by deep fear. The Abyss Saint clenched his fists tightly, a trace of fear flashing through his heart.
"No! Gu Yuena is now a true God-King, she has topped the Fortune Ranking, her Dragon God bloodline has been further enhanced, and her strength has reached its peak."
"Even if I were to descend in my true form at my peak, I might not be her match. To attack rashly would only lead to my own destruction!"
He instantly calmed down, quickly calculating a countermeasure, his gaze sweeping across the sky.
He glanced in the direction of Beidou Academy, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"However, there is always a way out. On this continent, humans and soul beasts are natural enemies, and the estrangement is deeply rooted."
"Gu Yuena commands billions of soul beasts and has long been at odds with humans."
"And Lu Xiao of Beidou Academy, whose strength is unfathomable, will certainly not tolerate Gu Yuena being superior to humans!"
"Lu Xiao is the strongest human being, and Gu Yuena is the ruler of all soul beasts. Both of them possess the combat power of a god-king, and their fortune is unparalleled on the continent."
"If I just provoke them a little, causing them to clash head-on and ignite a battle between god-kings, both will inevitably suffer heavy losses!"
A sinister smile curled at the corner of the Abyss Saint's lips, and the black mist surged even more violently.
"At that time, I will descend in my true form, reap the benefits, devour the heavily injured Gu Yuena, seize the power of the Dragon God, and then kill the weakened Lu Xiao, devouring his fortune!"
"The entire Douluo Continent, and even the power of the Dragon God and countless blessings, will belong to me!"
The plan took shape in his mind, making him tremble with excitement.
He no longer dwelled on the injuries of his clone, concealed all his aura, and completely hid himself in the void.
...
Meanwhile, the aftershocks of the Fortune Ranking in Douluo Continent had not yet subsided.
The despair and doubt of human soul masters, and the ecstasy and pride of the soul beast race.
It continues to spread throughout the mainland.
Everyone's attention was still focused on the shock of Gu Yuena reaching the top of the rankings.
At the same time, a new curiosity arose in my heart.
The top twenty on the Fortune Ranking have all been announced, with the top three spots now set.
What list will be released next in this sky?
"The Luck Ranking has ended, right? Gu Yuena is at the top. Now it's time to announce the new ranking!"
"I wonder what the next list will be, or if it will be another obscure list?"
"No matter what kind of list it is, I only care about how much luck Lu Xiao has and why he wasn't on the list before!"
"..."
All living beings on the new continent were eagerly anticipating and discussing the event.
We eagerly await the next move from the sky.
At that moment, the sky, which had been calming down, suddenly...
"Boom boom boom!"
That golden canopy suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light!
The golden light trembled violently, as if the sky itself was boiling.
The top twenty spots on the previously announced fortune ranking began to shake and distort wildly at this moment.
Golden words and light converged like a tide, surging wildly towards the void at the very top of the sky.
"boom!"
The deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
Twenty beams of ultimate golden light shot into the sky from the rankings.
They converge and condense in the void at the very top of the sky.
Ultimately, it transformed into an enormous golden cloud disc, hovering above the entire continent's sky.
Golden light flowed above the cloud disk, and the power of fortune was so dense that it turned into a tangible golden rain that showered down on the entire continent!
Such an extraordinary phenomenon is unprecedented!
No matter what list or ranking was released before, Tianmu had never experienced such drastic changes.
This sudden turn of events plunged the entire Douluo Continent into a deathly silence.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the enormous golden cloud disc.
My heart was filled with shock and confusion.
"What...what's going on? Wasn't the Fortune Ranking event already over? How can there still be such a strange phenomenon?"
"Could there be another change in the Fortune Ranking? Is there an even higher ranking above the first place?"
"This is so strange! What exactly is this golden cloud disc?"
"..."
Starry Sky Forest.
Gu Yuena gazed at the turbulent sky and the floating golden cloud disc above, her purple dragon eyes narrowing slightly.
The dragon god's aura surrounding him subconsciously subsided a bit.
The ferocious beasts, including Emperor Tian, Snow Emperor, and Ice Emperor, also looked up, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
Di Tian spoke solemnly, "My lord, this celestial phenomenon is unprecedented. The Fortune Ranking has already concluded, yet such a sudden change has occurred. I'm afraid..."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her gaze deep, and exchanged a glance with Di Tian, already having a guess in her heart.
"No need to guess, this must be related to Lu Xiao. He was the only one left out of the fortune ranking before, and now that the ranking has changed, his name must be announced."
She was filled with confusion. "But, is there an even higher ranking above first place?"
"The rules of this golden sky are far more mysterious than I imagined; even I can't see through them."
She thought that by reaching the top of the fortune rankings, she had reached the pinnacle of fortune on the continent.
But the changes that have occurred today have completely overturned her understanding.
