561: Chapter 561 Rivals Meet

At this moment, the entire City of Extreme Evil was in shock.

From the Bank headquarters in the city center to the Starlight Pavilion in the south, from the Heavenly Venerable Mansion in the north to the Temple of Time in the west—

Beneath every plaque, the area was crowded with world malice looking up!

That line of golden text was still slowly fading, but it had already been deeply branded into everyone's pupils.

Rank 999!

A newcomer who had just finished their placement matches had charged straight into the three-digit rankings!

In this era where God Emperors did not appear and most powerful Ancient Gods had fallen, what did a three-digit ranking mean!

Everyone knew clearly that this meant this person had the strength to compete for the first place in the Moonlight Festival!

And the first place of the Moonlight Festival was basically a guaranteed path to becoming a God Emperor!

"Go! Go to the God Stele Forest immediately and see who on earth this person is!"

A manager of a major faction stood atop a tall building and shouted sternly at his subordinates.

If this person truly had such strength, they might actually be able to take the top spot in the upcoming Moonlight Festival, receive the God Emperor's Blessing, and break through to become a God Emperor in the future!

If they could befriend this person now, their future would undoubtedly be bright!

Similar orders were issued almost simultaneously in every corner of the City of Extreme Evil!

At the Starlight Pavilion, Fiya stood in front of the window.

Looking at the golden text on the plaque that was gradually fading, complex emotions surged in her deep blue eyes.

Rank 999, he didn't even participate in the official challenge!

What kind of Prodigy was this?

"Have you found out who Yi Chen is?"

"Replying to Young Miss, not yet! My subordinates are currently checking one by one!"

Hearing this, Fiya remained silent for a long time.

Rank 999, this number was like a thorn stuck in her heart.

She remembered Alke's words—marry Kalsis, and you too can break through to become a God Emperor in the future!

She had always regarded this sentence as an amulet, as her greatest bargaining chip in this transaction!

But now, a Yi Chen had suddenly appeared, an existence who had charged straight into Rank 999 during the placement matches!

If this person won first place in the Moonlight Festival and accepted the God Emperor's Blessing—

Then everyone's eyes would be focused on him!

And she was just a Heavenly God of the Starlight Pavilion, Kalsis's fiancée!

No one would care about her, and no one would know about Alke's promise!

"Continue searching, you must find out who Yi Chen is—no, I will go over and take a look myself!"

"Yes!!!"

Heavenly Venerable Mansion.

Kalsis stood in front of his study window, looking at the text on the plaque that had already faded, his expression blank.

The attendants behind him knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Yi Chen—"

Kalsis read this name once, and the attendants lowered their heads even further.

Rank 999, ranked 999th among Ancient God powerhouses of tens of millions of years!

And what about him, Kalsis?

After breaking through to Ancient God, he had also challenged the God Stele Forest!

Ranking—seven digits!

He hadn't even made it into the six digits!

An existence that charged into Rank 999 in just the placement matches had a gap with him in the God Stele Forest that was higher than the sky!

If such a person participated in the Moonlight Festival, was there any suspense about the first place?

Kalsis closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Go to the God Stele Forest and see if you can find this person!"

Temple of Time.

Yue Wen sat cross-legged in the center of the pond condensed from Sands of Time, her long silver-white hair draping over the water surface, her eyes tightly closed.

She was in seclusion, making final preparations for the Moonlight Festival three months later!

She was the next City Lord of the City of Extreme Evil, an existence on the Ancient God Ranking, or rather, the former Rank 999!

Three months later, she would take first place in the Moonlight Festival, receive the God Emperor's Blessing, break through to become a God Emperor, and become the fourth God Emperor of the Void Realm!

Everything was clearly going according to plan!

Until that plaque lit up.

A maid hurried into the temple and reported: "Great—Great One! The plaque at the God Stele Forest has lit up!"

Yue Wen did not open her eyes: "Who is it?"

"A challenger named Yi Chen, Divine-Grade, placement match ranking—"

The maid swallowed her saliva and continued, "Rank 999!"

Hearing this, Yue Wen's eyelids twitched.

She still did not open her eyes, but the flow rate of the Sands of Time in the pond suddenly became chaotic!

Clearly, a violent wave had stirred in her heart!

Rank 999!

That was her ranking!

The ranking she had fought for tens of thousands of years among Ancient God powerhouses of tens of millions of years!

Now, a newcomer who had just finished their placement matches had directly tied with her?

"Prepare the carriage, go to the God Stele Forest!"

"Yes!!!"

Before long, the God Stele Forest was surrounded by a large crowd of world malice.

Looking down from above, the dense crowd had surrounded the entire stele forest tightly.

Managers of major factions stood at the very front, followed by their attendants and guards.

Further out were Loose Cultivators watching the excitement, standing on tiptoes to look inside.

Everyone wanted to know who that person named Yi Chen was!

At this moment, Chen Yi had just finished the battle and walked out of the stone stele.

His consciousness was still immersed in the frustration of the placement matches.

Eleven consecutive wins, the eleventh match took forty minutes, and he was beaten into a pig's head in the twelfth match!

If he took these results back, he would definitely be laughed to death by Zhao Zhao!

He sighed and stretched his stiff neck!

"Really want to go back to Blue Star—"

Before he could collect his thoughts, Zhao Zhao came over.

She grabbed his hand, her expression looking a bit strange, as if she was holding something back, or as if she was calculating something.

"Go, go quickly!"

Chen Yi's heart sank.

"Damn, did she find out so quickly that my test results were bad?"

He was speechless, but could only obediently follow Zhao Zhao away.

However, after walking a few steps, he felt something was wrong.

When he came, the God Stele Forest didn't seem to have so many people, right?

Why was it so crowded now, full of world malice?

Where did they pop out from?

Just as he was wondering, a voice came from behind.

"Stop!"

Chen Yi and Zhao Zhao turned their heads at the same time.

They saw a woman walking up quickly.

She was wearing a light golden long dress, her long hair was dark brown, coiled into an exquisite bun, and dotted with a few rice-sized star crystals;

Her features were very delicate, her eyebrows high, her lips slightly pursed, and the whole person exuded an aggressive Aura, with a feeling of a young lady from a noble family!
