[Douluo Continent - Goddess Ranking - Top Spot Settlement]
【TOP1: Firefly (Sam)】
[Rewards are being distributed —]
Countless eyes across the continent were fixed on that line of text.
The third-place winner, Qian Renxue, received the purification of angelic divine power and the early awakening of divine equipment; the second-place winner, Bibi Dong, received the purification of Rakshasa divine thought and the perfect fusion of twin martial souls.
So, what will this first goddess, who is above all the gods and has the power to destroy planets, obtain?
Is it to become a god directly? Or to gain the power to rule the world?
However, something unexpected happened.
Instead of the usual direct appearance of the name of the item or ability following the word "reward," a long, somewhat awkward ellipsis appeared.
【award:------】
"What does this mean?"
Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye rubbed his eyes, looking bewildered. "Ellipsis? Could it be that the reward is so precious that even the heavens cannot describe it in words?"
"No—" Ning Fengzhi said with a strange expression and a bitter smile.
"Why do I have this feeling that the canopy is—stuck? Or perhaps it hasn't decided what to give this being?"
Rewarding a mech pilot capable of single-handedly destroying a star is indeed a skill-intensive task.
Give me a soul bone? I don't need it.
Give them a spirit ring? They don't even need a martial spirit.
To grant them a divine position? The power of that attack was probably even more terrifying than that of an ordinary god.
Firefly Glow Dessert Shop.
The air inside the store seemed to freeze.
Firefly was still sitting in the corner.
Her once bright and lively eyes were now in a strange, blank state.
It wasn't out of fear, but because a voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"----that----"
The voice was ethereal and grand, yet it carried an undeniable sense of unease, as if a supreme will had encountered an insurmountable problem for the first time.
"Respected top scorer, Miss Liuying."
Liu Ying's pupils contracted slightly, and she tentatively asked in her heart, "You are—Tian Mu?"
"It's me." The voice sounded somewhat helpless.
"Although I really want to give you the reward directly, after calculation, all the treasures in the Douluo Continent, whether it's the divine core, the super artifact, or the position of the plane's master, seem to be meaningless to you. Your power system does not belong to the rules of this world."
Firefly was stunned.
She guessed right.
This all-knowing, godlike sky, overlooking all living beings, is actually "worried".
It's like a host who has prepared a feast for all ages, only to discover that the guest is a giant celestial beast that only consumes stellar energy.
"So—" the voice said with a hint of negotiation, "is there anything you want? As long as it's within the rules, I can make it happen for you."
The fireflies fell silent.
What does she want?
In the past, she might have said without hesitation: I want to be cured of entropy, I want to live.
But now, in this world, entropy disorder seems to have been cured, and she has enough time to experience life.
She turned her head and looked out the window at the bustling street, at those ordinary people who, though weak, were full of life.
She wanted to protect this peace, to protect this world that made her feel warm.
To protect, strength is needed.
Her thoughts drifted involuntarily to Sam, the one who had been with her the longest, who was both her prison and her comrade-in-arms.
"Since you asked me—"
Liu Ying took a deep breath and said firmly in her heart.
"Then help me upgrade Sam."
The voice in my mind fell silent for a moment, seemingly performing massive data calculations.
A few seconds later, the voice sounded again, with a relieved ease: "A reasonable request. As you wish."
As soon as the words fell, that will instantly left Liu Ying's mind.
Meanwhile, on the sky above, the awkward ellipses finally disappeared, replaced by several large, gleaming, and elegantly written characters!
[Reward Confirmed: Mech Reforging - "Sam" Gets a Full-Scale Upgrade!]
The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Upgrade—upgrade?!"
Xu Huang, who had just managed to stand up, collapsed back onto the dragon throne upon seeing these words.
His face was ashen, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
That martial spirit named "Sam" already possessed terrifying power capable of destroying planets; it was a Damocles' sword hanging over everyone's hearts. And now—the Heavenly Curtain has actually upgraded it?!
"This...this is leaving us no way to survive!"
One minister wailed in despair, "We could still hope it was a technological creation, that it would break down and run out of energy one day. Now that the Sky Canopy has been reforged, hasn't it become an eternal, world-destroying artifact?"
"It's over—it's completely over. From now on, we'll have to be extremely careful even when we're around this person."
Not only the Sun Moon Empire, but also all the major forces on the Douluo Continent were in dire straits.
Bibi Dong stared intently at the sky, her fear deepening, but at the same time, a strange sense of awe also appeared in her eyes.
She could sense that the girl named Liuying had not used this wish to demand the power to rule the world, but had merely upgraded her "weapon".
This purity made her feel ashamed of herself.
As the beam of light dissipated, the text on the sky also began to fade away.
[The Goddess Ranking has been finalized.]
[The Martial Soul Ranking has concluded.]
[Power Ranking, data entry complete.]
The conclusion of three consecutive major rankings gradually shifted the atmosphere across Douluo Star from tension and shock to a sense of emptiness and loss.
In the past few days, they have witnessed too many miracles and learned too many secrets.
From Bibi Dong's tragic past, to the fallen curse of the Thousand Angels, to the destructive dragon might of the Sun and Moon Empire, and finally to the tragic song of the Grammer Iron Cavalry.
Every story is worthy of being recorded in history.
"Is it over?"
At Shrek Academy, Oscar stroked his chin, seemingly still wanting more.
"To be honest, although I was completely devastated, this sky—is actually quite beautiful."
"Yeah, I wonder what the next list will be," Ma Hongjun chuckled. "If only there were a 'food list,' I'd definitely be on it!"
Just as everyone was discussing and thinking that the sky curtain was about to close and the world would return to peace.
Buzz—! ! !
The sky, which was darkening, suddenly erupted with a piercing crackling sound of electricity!
Immediately afterwards, the color of the entire sky changed dramatically.
It is no longer the sacred gold, no longer the destructive purple, nor the dazzling colors of science fiction.
This time, the sky turned into a ghastly green that was extremely unsettling.
That green exuded a sinister, hypocritical, and deeply mocking connotation.
It's like a mask with a smiling face painted on it, getting moldy and rotting in a dark corner.
