"My lord!"
Awe-inspiring voices came from all directions.
Di Tian, Xiong Jun, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion... all the ferocious beast kings prostrated themselves on the ground, respectfully welcoming their king.
Gu Yuena landed lightly on the ground with her bare feet. She ignored the subjugated beasts and simply raised her beautiful face, which was enough to make the world pale in comparison, to look at the golden list in the sky.
"Sixteenth place, Sea God Martial Soul?"
Her red lips parted slightly, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying a coldness and disdain that came from the depths of her soul.
"My lord, this sky is so unfair!"
Black Dragon Emperor Tian raised his head and said in a deep, muffled voice.
"The list is full of human martial souls! How unfair is this to our soul beast race!"
"fair?"
Gu Yuena slowly turned her head, a hint of mockery flashing in her purple eyes.
"Di Tian, when did you become so naive?"
"Has there ever been fairness in this world?"
Her voice grew colder.
"Putting aside everything else, just look at that lofty divine realm, which has established an ironclad rule forbidding us soul beasts from becoming gods. Is that... fair?"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts all fell silent, their eyes blazing with fury.
Gu Yuena stopped looking at them and turned her gaze back to the sky, her disdain undisguised.
"Poseidon, the god of the sea? Ha, he's nothing but a hypocritical villain who rose to power through scheming and trickery."
"Back then, he stole the position of the first sea god and plotted against the angel god behind his back... Upon closer examination, every single one of these acts was a dirty and shameful deed!"
Her voice echoed above the Lake of Life, revealing secrets of the God Realm that were enough to overturn the entire Douluo Continent's understanding.
"And this guy named Tang San... just hearing the name makes me feel disgusted!"
"As the inheritor of the Sea God's legacy, he's probably not a good person either!"
"And the God of Asura!"
Upon hearing this name, Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly contracted, and an overwhelming hatred erupted from her body, causing the entire Lake of Life to boil!
"If I don't avenge the grudges of the past, I swear I will never become a dragon!"
"Gods... there isn't a single good one!"
She spoke each word slowly and deliberately, her voice filled with such venom that it seemed to tear the heavens apart.
"You just wait... I, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, will one day make all of you gods pay the price!"
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging emotions, her purple eyes gleaming with wisdom and cunning.
"This Sky List includes not only the Martial Soul Ranking but also the Power Ranking."
"If we're talking about power rankings, across the entire Douluo Continent, who... can compare to our Star Dou Great Forest?"
"This is our chance! Our best chance for our soul beast race to rise up and take revenge!"
"roar!"
"roar--!"
Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and other ferocious beasts raised their heads and roared in unison, their anger and resentment, suppressed for millions of years, were ignited at this moment!
...
Jialing Pass.
Inside the Papal Palace of the Martial Soul Empire.
Bibi Dong leaned back on the magnificent papal throne, one of her long, slender legs extending from the slit in her papal robes, casually crossed.
Black stockings hugged her perfect leg lines, exuding a mature yet dangerous charm.
She rested her chin on one hand, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, also gazing at the list in the sky.
"What? The Sea God Martial Soul... is only ranked sixteenth?"
Bibi Dong's red lips parted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She was well aware of the power of the Sea God Martial Soul; it was a truly divine-level Martial Soul that could elevate one to the highest level in one step.
"It seems that this list is more valuable than I imagined."
She murmured to herself, a hint of interest appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.
Then, as if she had thought of something, a playful smile appeared on her lips.
"I wonder where my ungrateful daughter, Qian Renxue, would rank?"
"besides..."
A hint of competitiveness and complexity flashed in her eyes.
"Between her and me, who is superior?"
Hu Liena, who had been standing quietly to the side, heard Bibi Dong's mutterings and immediately stepped forward, saying softly:
"Teacher, you possess twin martial souls, and in terms of talent and potential, you far surpass her."
"Your ranking on the Martial Soul Ranking is naturally higher."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's smile deepened. She extended her hand, adorned with magnificent nail guards, and gently lifted Hu Liena's chin.
"My Nana knows how to talk."
Her face was filled with satisfaction.
"Teacher, please give your instructions. Your disciple will do anything, even at the cost of his life."
Bibi Dong slowly rose from the papal throne, strolled to the center of the hall, and her gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of the palace, landing on a certain spot in Jialing Pass.
"Those old guys, Golden Crocodile Douluo, are here."
She spoke softly.
"Since they've come, I'll naturally go and 'welcome' them, so they'll understand who's really in charge of the Martial Soul Empire now."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena frowned slightly, a hint of worry showing on her face.
"Teacher, the elders in the Hall of Offerings always only obey the orders of the High Priest, and they don't care about you..."
She paused, carefully choosing her words.
"What if they are unwilling to submit? After all, they are the great patrons."
"Oh."
Bibi Dong let out a meaningful chuckle.
"That's not up to them!"
A powerful and vast aura erupted from her body, instantly filling the entire Papal Palace.
Hu Liena felt her breath catch in her throat, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her heart. Faced with this oppressive force, she even found it difficult to stand.
"I am now at level ninety-nine."
Bibi Dong's voice rang in Hu Liena's ears, each word like a heavy hammer, striking her soul.
"All of this is thanks to Chiyu."
"Moreover, I'm not the only expert around me."
Hu Liena's pupils suddenly contracted; she understood the source of Bibi Dong's confidence.
Level 99 Limit Douluo!
The teacher has actually reached the same level as the Great Priest Sendo-ryu!
"Disciple understands."
Hu Liena suppressed her shock and asked again.
"What does the teacher need his disciples to do?"
Bibi Dong nodded approvingly; she had always been very satisfied with this disciple's comprehension.
"I'll go find that old bastard Golden Crocodile first and give him a choice."
Her tone turned sinister.
"Go and fetch 'Mirror' for me."
"I have confidence in Jing's abilities. With her around, even if all those old guys like Golden Crocodile were combined, they couldn't turn the world upside down!"
...
at the same time.
Inside another, even more magnificent hall at Jialing Pass.
"What? The Sea God Martial Soul is only ranked sixteenth?"
A clear, melodious voice, yet filled with shock, rang out.
Qian Renxue stood in the center of the hall, her gaze fixed on the list on the sky, her flawless face filled with astonishment.
