Chapter 298 The List of Fated Marriages
Meanwhile, on the Sun and Moon Continent...
When the Soul Masters learned that Douluo Continent was going to start the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament ahead of schedule, their faces showed regret and envy.
They knew very well that this competition should be a major event within the Douluo Continent, and the Sun Moon Continent was not qualified to participate.
Even so, many young Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Continent were still tempted.
They all discussed secretly going to Douluo Continent to watch this battle of geniuses up close.
Let's witness the true strength of the younger generation in Douluo Continent.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, from the three major sects to small towns and villages, everyone was stirred up by this sudden competition.
Countless people speculated about who would win the championship; some bet on the Spirit Hall, while others bet on the Heaven Dou Empire.
But many more people quietly placed their bets on that name that appeared out of nowhere and that no one dared to mess with—Beidou Academy.
While the entire continent was immersed in the fervor of the upcoming tournament.
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the sky, the golden canopy that had been silent for a long time suddenly began to surge violently without warning!
A beam of golden light shot into the sky, causing the clouds to churn.
A soft and mysterious melody resounded between heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, two huge halos, one red and one blue, emerged from the depths of the sky, slowly rotating and intertwining.
Intertwined into a beautiful and dreamy mandarin duck pattern, bathed in rosy light and adorned with auspicious clouds.
A romantic atmosphere swept across the entire world.
The next moment, lines of gilded ancient characters appeared, clearly visible to everyone.
[The new rankings for Tianmu are about to be revealed]
[This list: The Destiny's Marriage Ranking]
[Ranking Rules: The top ten on the Marriage Ranking are ranked according to the future fate of characters in Douluo Continent and the depth of their destined romantic relationships.]
[Ranking Rewards: The top ten on the leaderboard will receive the Blessing of Destiny, a significant increase in Soul Master compatibility, doubled cultivation speed, and a surge in the probability of encounters, among other rewards!]
When the words "Destined Marriage Ranking" were fully revealed, the entire Douluo Continent fell silent for a moment, and then erupted into an uproar!
Everyone wore expressions of strange surprise mixed with anticipation.
Luck Ranking, Kill Ranking, Divine Weapon Ranking...
They've all met.
But this marriage ranking list is a first!
The Sky Screen even reveals who is a perfect match and destined for each other.
This is too outrageous, and it makes me so curious!
In an instant, countless young men and women on the mainland blushed and their hearts raced.
Everyone is speculating whether they will be on the list and who they will be paired with.
The older Soul Master stroked his beard, amusement on his face, wondering what kind of ten destined couples the heavens would select.
...
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked up at the dreamy mandarin duck halos in the sky, her purple eyes suddenly darkened, and her expression became complicated and unfathomable.
Her slender fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the armrest of the papal throne.
The image of that person, whom she both loved and hated to the core, uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.
The thrill of youth, the cruel twist of fate, the unforgettable betrayal, the shackles of a lifetime...
She sighed softly, her voice almost inaudible:
Will he and I... appear on this marriage list?
A subtle expectation, which she herself was unaware of, quietly rose in her heart, only to be forcibly suppressed by her.
She was no longer the innocent girl she once was; the path to godhood lay ahead, and she carried a deep-seated blood feud.
For her, marriage was already the most luxurious thing.
...
And Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao gazed at the "Destined Marriage List" on the sky, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
He knew the original trajectory of fate of Douluo Continent better than anyone else.
He already knew exactly which couples would make it onto the marriage list.
but...
He was quite curious.
With interference from the celestial canopy, intervention from the Beidou Academy, and the trajectory of destiny already shifted, things are now different.
Besides those destined individuals, who else might unexpectedly appear on this marriage list?
...
Poseidon Island.
Poseidon stood silently before the Temple of Neptune.
Gazing at the pair of mandarin duck halos shimmering with rosy light in the sky, a gentle ripple quietly appeared in my eyes.
Her thoughts drifted uncontrollably into the distance, across vast oceans and through countless mountains, finally landing on Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect.
That was the strongest Soul Master in the world who once dominated the Douluo Continent, was hailed as the greatest genius of the Clear Sky Sect throughout the ages, and made a lifelong vow with her.
Poseidon raised her hand and gently touched her heart, her voice so soft it was carried away by the sea breeze: "Tang Chen... I wonder if we can make it onto this list?"
Looking at the five large characters "Destined Marriage List" on the sky, her heart, which had been dormant for a long time, unexpectedly felt a faint but clear expectation.
If she and Tang Chen are truly destined for each other, could the blessings from the ranking list help Tang Chen find a way to break through to the god level?
The seven guardians of the sacred pillars standing to the side, seeing the rare tenderness on the High Priest's face, all lowered their heads and remained silent, sighing inwardly.
They all knew who the High Priest was thinking of.
So everyone prayed silently, hoping that this perfect couple could leave their names on the list of top celebrities.
...
Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.
The atmosphere here, however, is far less lively and exciting than the outside world.
Instead, it was shrouded in a heavy, somber atmosphere.
Gu Yuena, with her silver hair and white dress, was surrounded by a faint dragon's might as she looked up at the pair of intertwined mandarin duck halos in the sky.
Her exquisitely beautiful face showed no joy, only a bottomless coldness.
Behind her, the ten most ferocious beasts, including Emperor Tian, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, Bi Ji, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons, all bowed and stood in attendance.
The usually awe-inspiring Soul Beast Supremes now had furrowed brows and solemn expressions.
There was no longing for marriage, only worry about the future of the tribe.
"The Destiny's Marriage Ranking..."
Gu Yuena spoke softly, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes, her tone icy, "Humanity's fortunes are indeed growing stronger."
Di Tian's enormous golden vertical pupils were fixed on the sky, his deep voice filled with undisguised worry.
"My lord, this list is clearly tailor-made for human soul masters. The list's blessings can greatly increase compatibility, double cultivation speed, and dramatically increase the probability of encounters..."
"Once all of humanity's younger generation receives this blessing, the overall strength will surely leap forward once again."
"Our soul beast race was already in decline, and now we have been completely left behind by the opportunities in the heavens."
"If this continues, let alone the great cause of rejuvenation, even our living space will be further squeezed by humans."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding Soul Beast Supremes became even more unpleasant.
Brigitte sighed softly, her beautiful face full of helplessness: "Humans are blessed by the heavens, nurtured by sects, and tempered by competitions. Now, with the addition of the Marriage Ranking, their progress will be so fast that we cannot keep up."
"We soul beasts rely on bloodline and time to cultivate, which is inherently slow. As one side grows stronger while the other grows weaker, the gap will only widen."
