She didn't take the so-called Sea Moon Empire seriously at all.
She originally thought that the top spot on the power ranking belonged to her Star Dou Great Forest.
That glory, that reward, should all be hers.
But now, reality has given her a harsh slap in the face.
"My lord..."
The Beast God Di Tian, dressed in black robes, knelt on one knee, his face also filled with shock.
He glanced at the sky, then at the deeply traumatized Gu Yuena, and said cautiously:
"Is there something wrong with this list?"
"How could there possibly be a power in this world stronger than Your Majesty?"
Behind him, Bi Ji, dressed in a green dress, Xiong Jun, a burly man, and Qiu'er, the three-eyed golden lion king who was leaping merrily, all stopped moving and stared blankly at the sky.
Especially Wang Qiu'er, whose bright, lively eyes were full of curiosity.
"Is there anything more amazing than Sister Nana?"
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.
She was the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, and her pride wouldn't allow her to accept such an outcome.
But the oppressive aura emanating from the sky and the authenticity of the previous rewards told her that it was all real.
"What kind of force is this that is even more powerful than our Star Dou Great Forest?"
Gu Yuena stared intently at the sky, her eyes gleaming with an indomitable spirit.
Just then, the reward for second place transformed into two streams of light and descended from the sky.
A golden light entered Gu Yuena's brow.
That's the [Secret Technique: Dragon God Transformation]!
Another streak of light transformed into a long halberd exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, hovering in front of her.
[Super Divine Weapon: Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd]!
Feeling the power surging within her body, and the sharpness of the halberd capable of tearing everything apart, the shock in Gu Yuena's eyes subsided slightly, replaced by a hint of joy.
"Such powerful strength..."
"This Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd can actually ignore defenses?"
Biji and Ditian sensed the surge of energy emanating from Gu Yuena and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord!"
"With such a divine artifact, our lord's strength will surely reach a new level, and the revival of the Soul Beast race will be just around the corner!"
Gu Yuena held the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd and with a casual wave of her hand, space was easily torn apart like cloth.
A slight upturn of her lips revealed a smile that could launch a thousand ships.
Although it was only second place, the reward was a really good thing.
With this strength, she felt even more confident about the future.
However, the question in her mind grew even stronger.
Gu Yuena raised her head, her purple eyes gleaming with an unusual light as she gazed directly at the sky.
"Let me see what kind of force can become the strongest force on the continent!"
"They actually managed to surpass me, Gu Yuena, and take away the first place."
Her slender fingers gently caressed the halberd, a surge of unprecedented curiosity welling up within her.
As the Silver Dragon Queen, she was arrogant and aloof, and never paid any attention to humans.
But this time, the mysterious first place winner successfully piqued her interest.
"And that master who controls the number one power..."
Gu Yuena's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself:
"Who on earth could create such a colossal creature?"
"If it were a woman, I might condescend to become her close confidante and discuss the art of governing subordinates."
At this point, Gu Yuena's eyes became somewhat playful.
"If it were a man..."
She remembered the man behind Haiyue mentioned on the previous list, and she also remembered the so-called Qianyu.
"If that man truly possesses talent and strength surpassing mine..."
"Then I, Gu Yuena, will certainly go and have a proper encounter with her."
"Let's see what kind of extraordinary man he is, who can make the world change color."
Inside the sacrificial hall behind the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.
The atmosphere was so heavy it felt like it was filled with lead. Golden sunlight streamed through the tall stained-glass windows, but it couldn't illuminate the thick gloom on the faces of everyone in the hall.
All eyes were fixed on the enormous celestial ranking list in the sky above the palace.
Just now, the second place on the Douluo Power Ranking was announced – Star Dou Great Forest.
Bibidon was dressed in a magnificent papal robe.
His elegant and dignified face was filled with astonishment.
"Starry Sky Forest..."
Bibi Dong looked at the five large characters on the list, her chest heaving slightly.
"I once thought that place was nothing more than a gathering place for uncivilized beasts. Although it was somewhat dangerous, it was also a back garden that my Spirit Hall could use at any time."
"I never imagined that this forest had such a terrifying secret."
Her voice was a little hoarse as she recalled how she had practically turned the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest upside down in order to hunt for a high-limit spirit ring for her second spirit.
At that time, she thought that the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape were the rulers of that place.
But now, looking at those unfamiliar names on the sky, Bibi Dong felt a chill run down her spine.
If she had disturbed those slumbering beasts back then, she would probably be a pile of bones by now.
Standing beside Bibi Dong, Hu Liena looked utterly bewildered and shocked.
Her once captivating eyes were now wide open, completely devoid of their usual liveliness.
"how so?"
Hu Liena couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Our teacher clearly said back then that the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest were the Azure Bull Python Da Ming and the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming."
"Weren't those two beasts driven to the brink by the teacher and ultimately sacrificed to Tang San?"
"Since the overlord is dead, why can the Star Dou Great Forest still rank second?"
Hu Liena just couldn't understand it.
After that rabbit sacrifice, the Star Dou Great Forest was already a toothless tiger in her eyes.
But now, in the scene before her, a black dragon that blots out the sky is roaring in the clouds, its terrifying power sending shivers down her spine even through the screen.
"Di Tian... 890,000 years of cultivation..."
Hu Liena murmured the name, feeling her senses crumbling.
"And then there's Brigitte, 580,000 years..."
"There's even that auspicious beast named Wang Qiu'er…"
"My God, the Star Dou Great Forest is hiding so many super ferocious beasts that we've never even heard of before!"
Even as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, who prided herself on her extensive knowledge, she was still overwhelmed by these terrifying statistics.
Qian Renxue stood on the other side of the main hall, her golden palace dress making her look noble and elegant.
She tilted her long neck back, her gaze not lingering on the ferocious beasts for long, but fixed on the silver-haired, purple-eyed figure in the center of the screen.
"Silver Dragon King... Gu Yuena."
Qian Renxue murmured softly, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in her eyes.
The woman in the picture is breathtakingly beautiful, not only in her appearance but also in her noble temperament that transcends all others.
That was a majesty that even she, who inherited the blood of the angel god, felt ashamed of.
"The Dragon God is half benevolent and half elemental..."
"The true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest".
