Chapter 172: Shifting Powers, The heavenly curtain Reopens
Shortly after Gu Yuena tore through space and departed.
Another figure appeared silently not far away.
This person was a First-rank Deity of the God Realm.
The God of Emotion, God of Emotion.
The moment he descended, his Divine Thought spread out like mercury seeping into the ground, capturing the residual aura in the Void Realm.
"The Silver Dragon King... It really is her aura!"
A look of unprecedented solemnity appeared on God of Emotion's handsome face, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Although only a trace remains, that pure Dragon God Bloodline Power and spatial fluctuations are unmistakable!"
"She was actually hiding on the Douluo Continent!"
As a First-rank Deity of the God Realm, although God of Emotion did not personally participate in the Great God Realm War during the Dragon God Rebellion back then,
he knew the Dragon God's split forms—the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King—very well through God Realm records and oral accounts from Seniors.
The Silver Dragon King controls elemental power, possesses extraordinary wisdom, and harbors deep resentment toward the God Realm.
Such a forbidden existence, comparable to a God King, has been lurking in the Douluo Continent under the God Realm's jurisdiction, and the God Realm was actually completely unaware!
This is undoubtedly a massive hidden danger!
Especially in the current Douluo Continent!
"This Douluo Continent... just how many variables are hidden here?"
God of Emotion took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the stormy waves in his heart.
The heavenly curtain, spatial rifts, the Silver Dragon King... the water here is much deeper and more dangerous than he imagined!
The most urgent matter now is to immediately report the news of the Silver Dragon King's reappearance to the God Realm Committee!
This is enough to overturn the God Realm's original judgment of the situation on the Douluo Continent!
With this thought, God of Emotion no longer hesitated. His figure turned into a rainbow stream of light, instantly tearing through space.
Returning to the God Realm at the fastest speed... Douluo Continent.
Shortly after Lu Xiao, Gu Yuena, and the others each returned.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
That golden heavenly curtain, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly shook violently!
A vast aura, grander and more solemn than any previous ranking announcement,
diffused from above the heavenly curtain!
In an instant, it covered the entire continent!
On the continent, whether it was the Soul Master armies tensely preparing for war, the anxious common people, or the high-level members of major powers,
all of their attention was drawn by this sudden movement of the heavenly curtain!
"Look! The golden heavenly curtain is moving!"
"There's a change! A new ranking list is coming out!"
"This aura... so heavy! It feels even more significant than the previous Martial Soul Ranking and Spirit Fusion Technique list!"
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the name of the next ranking list appeared on the heavenly curtain.
[power ranking list]
Three large characters spanned the sky, the brushstrokes like dragons!
They contained a supreme majesty that commanded the eight directions and looked down upon all living beings!
Immediately after, lines of clear golden characters containing the power of rules flowed down like a waterfall.
Announcing the rules and significance of this list to all living beings.
[The movement of all things and the rise and fall of powers are the natural trends of civilizational evolution. Today, a power ranking list is specially established to observe where the Luck of the Douluo Continent resides and where the heroes gather.]
[Evaluation Criteria: A comprehensive assessment based on multiple dimensions, including top experts possessed by the power (strength, quantity, potential), Legacy and Foundation (Cultivation Technique, resources, Secret Realm), Luck and Opportunity, influence on the continent's landscape, and development potential. The comprehensive evaluation is conducted using the rules of the heavenly curtain.]
[Ranking Scope: Covers all existing powers on the Douluo Continent, including but not limited to Sects, Empires, Academies, Hidden Families, special ethnic groups, etc.]
[Ranking Seats: A total of ten seats are set, only recording the top ten powers in the comprehensive evaluation.]
...power ranking list!
Evaluating the top ten powers in terms of comprehensive strength on the Douluo Continent!
As soon as this list appeared, the entire continent instantly boiled over!
If the previous individual lists, such as the Martial Soul Ranking, Spirit Master list, combat power ranking, and Spirit Fusion Technique list, were stages for heroes and elites,
then this power ranking list is the arena for power and Foundation!
It is the authoritative yardstick that truly measures the status and weight of a faction on the Douluo Continent!
Which Sect has the deepest Foundation?
Which Empire has the strongest strength?
Which hidden powers are unknown but possess terrifying strength?
These questions will all be answered one by one with the announcement of the list!
More importantly, it is currently a sensitive moment with the slaughter list hanging high and an external enemy invasion imminent!
The announcement of this power ranking list is no different from a major inventory of the native forces of the Douluo Continent!
Who can make the list, and what is their rank!
It doesn't just concern face and glory.
It is even more likely to affect the right to speak, resource allocation, and even survival chances in the future war!
"power ranking list! It's actually the power ranking list! Great! We can finally see the true Foundation of the major powers!"
"The top ten! There are only ten spots! The competition will definitely be more intense than anyone can imagine!"
"Who do you think Spirit Hall will rank? What about the two Great Empires? And the Upper Three Sects?"
"Don't forget Big Dipper Academy! With those monster teachers of theirs, I think Big Dipper Academy can definitely make the top three, or even... challenge for first place!"
"And what about the Soul Beast Clan? Those Ferocious beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Silver Dragon King... do they count as a power?"
"..."
The sounds of discussion swept through every corner of the continent like a tsunami.
In the atmosphere of tense war preparations, the revealing of this power ranking list added a different kind of excitement, anticipation, and trepidation.
The high-level members of major powers were even more high-strung.
Their gazes were locked onto the heavenly curtain... Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were gathered together, their expressions serious.
Ning Fengzhi murmured solemnly: "The power ranking list. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is famous for its wealth. In terms of top combat power, we have Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu. In the younger generation, we have Rongrong at Big Dipper Academy... I wonder if we can squeeze into the top ten?"
Chen Xin nodded seriously and said: "The key depends on the evaluation criteria. If it's purely based on combat power, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might be slightly inferior."
"But if it's based on resources, influence, and potential... we might not lack the strength to compete."
Gu Rong echoed: "It depends on how the heavenly curtain judges it."
...Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were burning: "My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the world's number one Beast Spirit Sect. We have more than one Titled Douluo and a deep Foundation!"
"There must be a place for my clan in this top ten!"
...Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area.
Di Tian and the other Ferocious beasts also saw the heavenly curtain and turned to look at the returning Gu Yuena.
Di Tian said in a deep voice: "Lord, does our Soul Beast Clan count as a power for this power ranking list?"
Xiong Jun naturally roared indignantly: "Of course we count! We are powerful and rule the Star Dou Great Forest, why wouldn't we count?"
Gu Yuena's voice came faintly, with a hint of coldness and pride: "Whether we are on the list or not, the heavenly curtain will judge for itself."
"My Soul Beast Clan has existed for countless years; why do we need the recognition of others? Just prepare for war."
...Under the gaze of millions!
On the heavenly curtain, the brilliant golden light that symbolized the official start of the power ranking list announcement
finally began to condense and shrink.
Eventually, it turned into a line of clear, large characters.
[Douluo Continent power ranking list, Tenth Place, about to be revealed!]
The continent instantly fell silent. Countless people held their breath and focused, waiting for the name of the first power to make the list.
Would it be some long-established Sect?
One of the two Great Empires?
Or... some unexpected dark horse?
