Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 541 Nine Wheels
"Being reborn is much easier than I expected."

The Star God's emotional fluctuations were filled with an unshakeable confidence that anyone who could perceive it would understand.

"A hundred years is faster than I imagined."

His gaze no longer lingered on Ji Fuyou, but turned to the depths of the starry sky.

The gaze, through the power of the void, traversed endless space and turned to a planet.

One...

A planet that is also like a star.

That is……

The false god Ling Xi.

As He turned His gaze to the false god Lingxi, the awakened Lingxi also turned her gaze to the star god.

The next moment, the power of the void spread out in front of the two of them.

Ji Fuyou's gaze immediately fell on the use of this void power.

He could sense that this void power was different from any he had seen before.

This is a release of power from a higher dimension.

They seemed to be traversing the void.

But it feels more like entering a completely new dimension.

Using that dimension, we can traverse the void.

If Ji Fuyou, having mastered the power of the void to the sixth level, can traverse hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of light-years with each void crossing, then this higher-dimensional void traversal, in a single leap…

It's probably at least 100,000 light-years away!
This is a method that can truly allow people to leave this galaxy and step into the vast universe.

Under this power, Ji Fuyou felt that he, along with the six guardians who had recently clashed with him, were no longer on the same level as these two great beings.

That is……

The difference between the sixth and seventh tiers of Legendary, and Star Gods and False Gods.

Or perhaps it's the difference between two different realms: "legend" and "god".

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

The information transmitted by the false god Lingxi echoed in the void.

"For thousands of years, I have been pondering the meaning of our existence. Perhaps it was merely the unconscious release of your energy that gave birth to our intelligence. Or perhaps you need us to guard the authority you left behind, so that one day you may return and achieve new greatness. Or perhaps..."

The false god's information fluctuations paused slightly: "Our purpose in existence is to be cannon fodder, the most basic thing, to temper the successors you have chosen, so that you can cultivate qualified successors and make it easier for you to be reborn from them..."

"It does not matter."

Star God Zeus gave a calm, even indifferent, response.

"No, this is important."

Lingxi responded in a deep voice, "This concerns the meaning of our existence. If... we were truly born simply because of your unconscious energy release, then it wouldn't be so bad if we died in a daze. Or, you could have entrusted us with guarding your authority, and when you return, we would return it to you. But if... we were meant to be cannon fodder from the very beginning, meant to die one day at the hands of your successor, to achieve your goals..."

He paused for a moment: "Then I think we also have the right to live."

"All you need to do now is return what belongs to me."

Star God Zeus responded calmly as well.

Because more and more star power is converging on him.

Although the current stellar power and size mean that eliminating Lingxi will require some effort and time, he can simply wait a little longer…

Almost every time he waits, his power increases exponentially; the longer he waits, the stronger he becomes.

Before long, even if Lingxi stubbornly clings to His power and authority and refuses to relinquish it, He will possess an overwhelming advantage in strength and crush it into dust.

Time is on His side.

And the outcome was already determined the moment He awoke.

No further surprises can change that.

"Give it back..."

The message Lingxi conveyed grew increasingly profound: "So... all we need is a small answer, and you still refuse to grant our request?"

"Answer?"

Star God Cosmic Light smiled: "Is it meaningful? What answers do you want to know? Besides... what good would it do even if you had the answers?"

Lingxi remained silent.

Not only Lingxi, but even Ji Fuyou, who was watching from a lower dimension, remained silent.

What good is having the answer?
Just like him, he knew that the scene he, Gu Qing and others saw was a seed of the soul sprinkled by the Star God's light. Everything they did in their lives was along the trajectory of the seed's growth until it took root and sprouted. But so what?

Faced with a great being so powerful that it can resonate throughout the entire galaxy with a single breath, what is the point of their resentment, dissatisfaction, or even anger?
"It may mean nothing to you, but for us... it is a pursuit we have never given up on in our lives."

Lingxi stared at the Star God's Light, which had absorbed the power of the entire universe: "If... the meaning of our existence has really been that we are just cannon fodder created by you to hone your successors, and we are destined to die at the hands of your successors, then... I think we should continue to pursue the meaning of survival."

He turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou: "Defeat him! Let everything return to normal!"

"?"

A question mark seemed to appear on Ji Fuyou's head.

He was a victim too, wasn't he?
What's the point of this false god staring at the Star God Cosmos instead of fighting him?
"Defeat him?"

Star God Zhou Guang completely ignored Ji Fuyou, but smiled and said, "You know perfectly well that his birth was to trigger my awakening, yet you still think about defeating him? Do you know that defeating him means defeating me?"

"This is a war that is bound to happen."

Lingxi, this false god, seems to possess some kind of spiritual awakening.

War? A war between a false god, a few guardians, and him?
The smile on Xing Shen Zhou Guang's face gradually faded, and he regained his arrogant indifference and calm.

He looked at this race that had been created to serve as a whetstone, and the demigods that this race had nurtured around the planet...

Finally, he slowly uttered a sentence: "You have no idea how great the Star God of the Universe is."

"I believe in your greatness. It is because of you that everything we see today is possible, so..."

Lingxi is a false god...

The correct term should be demigod.

This demigod, who was practically the source of all demons, faced the increasingly dazzling starlight before him: "Lord Cosmos, let us end all of this."

"Ok?"

Star God Zeus looked at Ling Xi: "Zeus Light?"

He seemed to find it amusing again amidst his calm demeanor: "You call me Cosmic Light?"

Lingxi, who was preparing for the great battle, was bewildered by His sudden change in mood.

Even Ji Fuyou looked up.

He didn't see anything wrong with it.

Did this Star God of the Universe feel that these people didn't use honorifics when addressing him?
Should we call him Your Majesty the Light of the Universe?

"Ah."

At that moment, the star god suddenly laughed.

“I forgot, you… are just a bunch of insects.”

He is laughing.

The ridiculous one is not them, but ourselves.

seem……

They don't even deserve to be mocked by Him.

An unprecedented sense of contempt rippled through the hearts of Lingxi, the Guardians, Ji Fuyou, and everyone else.

them……

It is intelligent life.

Moreover, they are highly intelligent life forms.

His cultivation level has reached the legendary realm, making him a veritable cosmic being.

Right now, in the mouth of this Star God Cosmic Light, there is—an insect.

Star God Zeus's "amusing" mood lasted for a moment, but gradually subsided.

He regained his calm, indifferent, arrogant, and superior demeanor.

"After all, I've just survived the most difficult step of my second life. I'm in such a good mood that... I'm even kind enough to talk to a bunch of insects."

His gaze swept over Lingxi and the other primordial demon beings once more: "Even a bunch of insects dared to mention the word 'war' to me."

Vast stellar energy began to gather before him and combine in incredible ways.

Even though the combination was not yet fully formed, Ji Fuyou had already felt a world-destroying power within it.

This is……

It possesses the absolute power to easily erase any fifth-tier or sixth-tier legendary figure, including the six guardians and himself.

Unbeatable.

Unstoppable.

“I understand that there is a huge gap between us. Challenging you would be the most presumptuous and even suicidal thing I could do! But... this is not a reason for us to abandon our entire tribe’s pursuit of meaning.”

Lingxi's message was heavy yet unshakeable: "We should not be erased now... The rules you set are not over yet, the ninth round of the Heavenly Ranking War has not yet begun, and you should not awaken now."

The next moment, countless starlight burst forth from this demigod, illuminating the entire starry sky.

Countless stars converged, and in the end, they formed a list!
The moment this list appeared, everyone seemed to sense something deep within their hearts...

Ji Fuyou recognized it immediately.

"The Heavenly Ranking!"

This was the Heavenly Ranking that had once appeared in his mind, but later disappeared without a trace after he died and was reborn!

The moment the Heavenly Ranking appeared, the Star God's Cosmic Light, whose starlight was vaster than ever before, finally showed a change in emotion.

"You've actually become one with the rules of the Heavenly Ranking!?"

"Your awakening is the biggest mistake! So..."

Lingxi, who had poured all the star power in her body into the Heavenly Ranking, suddenly opened her arms.

"War! Begin!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, an unprecedented power of rules erupted from this Heavenly Ranking, which also attracted the star power on Ling Xi and Star God Zhou Guang, and was about to become the true master of all power!

The Nine Rounds of Heavenly Ranking Wars are rules left behind by the Star God Zhou Guang before his death.

In other words, this is the power of the Star God of the previous life!

Although this power may only be one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, of the power of the Star God Cosmic Light at its peak, but...

Lingxi's initiation of the Heavenly Ranking War is undoubtedly equivalent to using the power of the Star God Zhouguang in his previous life to fight against His newly reborn power, which has not yet recovered to its peak!
One percent is still more than enough!
