574: Chapter 574, 50th place

The light was not gold, but a pure silver-white, as if the heavens and earth were being created!

Those rays of light surged out from every single stone stele, gathering into countless pillars of light that shot into the sky, dyeing the entire God Stele Forest white!

The earth trembled, the air roared, and those stone steles that had stood for who knows how many tens of thousands of years also began to shake uncontrollably!

On the plaque, a line of gigantic silver-white text slowly emerged.

[Name: Yi Chen]

[Rank: Ancient God Rank]

[Test Ranking: 100th]

At this moment, everyone was collectively dumbfounded.

"God Stele Resonance—this is God Stele Resonance!"

"He broke into the top 100! He broke into the top 100!"

"100th place! 100th place on the Ancient God Ranking! My god! My god!"

"The top 100! The top 100 of the God Stele Forest! It hasn't changed for millions of years! These rankings were all left behind during the glorious era of Chen Yu's rule; they are all ancient gods who left behind countless dazzling achievements, whose strength was almost comparable to a God Emperor, truly invincible among their peers!"

"In this current era, energy has deteriorated so severely that it's hard to produce such powerhouses anymore! Even if there are any, it's only a Prodigy born once every few million years who could break it!"

"Even a peerless Prodigy like Lady Yue Wen could only Rank... and he just broke directly into the top 100?"

"In the name of an ancient god, comparable to a God Emperor—simply Heaven-Defying!"

"Yi Chen is still challenging! His goal is not just the top 100!"

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the numbers on the plaque jumped again!

98th place!

A few minutes later, 95th place.

Almost every few minutes, the ranking would refresh!

Everyone in the entire Kingdom of Extreme Evil was already numb with shock!

How could such a Heaven-Defying existence exist?

No one in the taverns was drinking, no one on the streets was walking, and no one in the Cultivation rooms was Cultivating—

Everyone was looking at that plaque, watching that name climb all the way up!

88th, 86th, 83rd, 80th—

Every time it jumped, it was accompanied by a burst of exclamations!

Every time it jumped, it refreshed people's understanding of the word Prodigy!

Is there really someone who can be this badass?

Damn it, could it be that some God Emperor went to challenge it?

But that shouldn't be!

Because of the influence of the rules, God Emperors simply cannot enter the God Stele Forest!

Because being able to achieve a Breakthrough to God Emperor already proves one is a peerless Prodigy, one in a billion!

There is no need for a ranking to prove oneself!

Furthermore, the rules of the God Stele Forest simply cannot accommodate such an existence!

At the edge of the God Stele Forest, Zhao Zhao stood in the middle of the crowd, her head tilted back, her eyes shining astonishingly!

The corners of her mouth were curled up, her eyes curved, and she felt as if she were soaking in a honey pot, extremely sweet!

Especially when hearing the exclamations around her, that feeling was just too satisfying!

This Yi Chen is her man!

It's not the relationship like that of Nolan's adopted daughter; he is truly her man, the man who belongs to her!

His name is Chen Yi, he comes from Blue Star, he is under a hundred years old, he inherited Chen Yu's legacy, and he broke into the top 100 in the God Stele Forest!

He helped her achieve a Breakthrough to Ancient God, helped her break into the four-digit rankings, and now, he has broken into the top 100 in the God Stele Forest!

Everyone's eyes are on him!

All the exclamations are for him. And he is her man!

[Ding! Zhao Zhao's favorability +3 points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Zhao Zhao's favorability has reached 95 points!]

[Reward: Enhancement Points +5000!]

[Current Enhancement Points: 14900!]

Zhao Zhao covered her face!

Can't think about it anymore, or else I'll get a nosebleed!

She didn't really believe in those CEO-style novels before!

Now she believes it, and believes it absolutely!

It's too exciting!

—

Yue Wen stood in front of the window of the Temple of Time, looking at the name on the plaque that was still climbing, shaking her head with a helpless expression.

70th place!

From 100th to 70th, it took him less than half an hour!

If there were only a slight gap, one might still have some wishful thinking;

But if the gap is truly too large, I'm afraid one wouldn't even have that spirit left!

It's like an ordinary person earning five thousand a month; at most, they would only envy someone earning fifty thousand a month!

But if you compare it to someone with assets of ten billion, you really wouldn't even have the heart to envy them!

She withdrew her gaze and turned to walk back to the Cultivation room!

Forget it, I won't think about it!

Anyway, the Moonlight Festival isn't just about the first place!

Second place is not unacceptable!

—

Kalsis stood behind the crowd, his mouth completely shut.

His face turned from green to white, from white to gray, and finally into a deathly calm.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start!

This kind of person is no longer an existence he can touch!

It's just too damn Heaven-Defying!

Why would such a freak appear in this Kingdom of Extreme Evil?

Fiya looked at Kalsis's back and suddenly felt very relaxed.

It was like laying down a stone she had been carrying for a long time!

No need to comfort him anymore, no need to make excuses for him, no need to lie to herself that he still had hope—

Anyway, it was a transaction from the beginning!

He takes the resources, she takes the status!

She looked up at the name on the plaque that was still climbing.

Yi Chen, who exactly are you?

—

Chen Yi's final record settled at thirty-seven consecutive victories.

It wasn't that he couldn't win anymore, it was that the time for his enhancement card had run out.

The golden light slowly faded from his body, and the power that was almost bursting through the spatial barrier dissipated along with it; his aura fell back from the threshold of God Emperor to the Peak of Ancient God.

"That's about enough!"

He flexed his wrists and stretched greatly.

He was just testing his strength and looking for Zhao Zhao by the way.

Now that his goal should be achieved, there's no need to continue fighting!

With this result, it couldn't be more qualified!

He exited the challenge, his figure walking out from the stone stele.

On the plaque, a line of gigantic white text slowly settled.

[Name: Yi Chen]

[Rank: Ancient God Rank]

[Test Ranking: 50th]

That line of text remained on the plaque for a long time, as if declaring the arrival of a new era to the entire City of Extreme Evil.

All the onlookers saw this number and collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, it finally stopped; if this continued, I would start to doubt if I was a piece of trash!

"50th place—50th place on the Ancient God Ranking!"

"Thank goodness it stopped, thank goodness it stopped; if it kept going, I would really doubt if I was a piece of trash!"

"What are you thinking? Compared to Yi Chen, we are all pieces of trash!"

"The way you put it, can they be the same? Is he even human?"

"Too strong, he is truly too strong!"

—

However, compared to the ranking, everyone was more concerned with another matter—who exactly is Yi Chen in reality!

Last time he disappeared after finishing the placement match, and no one managed to catch him!

This time is different.

Everyone is here, from the God Stele Forest to the plaque, from the plaque to the exit of every stone stele, surrounded so tightly that not even water could pass through.

I don't believe I won't be able to catch Yi Chen!
