Douluo Continent: Just became a demigod, and was exposed by the heavens.

[Ranked #1 on the list of legendary artifacts!]

[Artifact Name: Xuanyuan Sword (Sword of the Holy Path)]

[Owner: Lin Yuan]

[Affiliation: Canglan Academy - Dean]

[Quality: Above Creation Artifact]

[Reason for inclusion:]

The Sword of the Holy Path, the ultimate vessel for the destiny of the human race!
It disrespects neither heaven nor earth, but only humanity!
Before it, the so-called "gods" are nothing more than slightly more powerful beings.

It possesses the attribute of "absolute lethality" against all gods, demons, and evil spirits!
Any god slain by the Xuanyuan Sword will have their divine position shattered and their soul annihilated, with no possibility of resurrection!
It is the twilight of the gods, the end of the old order, and the beginning of a new era!
The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Swords, the Holy Dao Xuanyuan!
……

"Above the level of a creation artifact?!"

The once supreme and majestic hall of the Divine Realm Council was now filled with terrified gasps.

After the deathly silence came the unbelievable roar of the god of destruction.

"How is this possible? How could such a powerful artifact exist in this plane?"

"Even the Dragon God of yesteryear only possessed the divine spark of creation! This sword is actually above creation itself?"

The hand holding the demonic sword in the Asura God's hand was now trembling uncontrollably.

He stared intently at the phrase "Divine position shattered, never to be resurrected," and felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

The reason why gods are high above is because they possess near-eternal life.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the divine position remains and the divine soul is not destroyed, there is a chance of rebirth.

But this Xuanyuan Sword, it directly eradicates it from the root?!
"no!"

A ruthless killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Asura God, "We absolutely cannot allow this Lin Yuan to grow stronger!"

"Keeping this kind of person alive is too dangerous! He possesses the power to end the realm of gods!"

"Fortunately, judging from his aura, he seems to have only recently become a god, and his foundation is not yet stable!"

Even the God of Destruction, who had always been at odds with the God of Asura, nodded solemnly at this moment.

"Shura is right."

"Even when the Dragon God caused chaos back then, it was only through the combined efforts of the five of us God Kings that we managed to kill and seal him away at a terrible cost."

"And this Lin Yuan, his divine artifact is even of higher quality than the Dragon God's!"

The God of Destruction looked down at the lower realm, purple lightning of destruction pulsating wildly in his eyes.

"If he continues to grow, no one can predict whether he will become the next Dragon God?"

"Even surpassing the Dragon God, becoming the new ruler of this universe!"

An uncontrollable sense of fear enveloped the two god-kings.

They are used to being high above others and in control of everything, and they will never allow anyone who can overturn the chessboard at any time to exist!
However, before they could come up with a solution, the rewards from the heavens descended once again!
[Rewards Announced:]

[I. Divine power increased by ten levels!]

[II. The age limit of all spirit rings is increased by one million years!]

[III. Privilege Granted: The Position of Human Emperor! (While residing in the mortal realm, one's words carry the weight of law! One can forcibly strip any deity of their divine authority from those of lower rank!)]

Above Canglan Academy, endless golden light condensed into a Dharma image ten thousand feet tall, and the face of that Dharma image was none other than Lin Yuan!
With the infusion of level ten divine power.

Lin Yuan's cultivation level, originally 107, surged wildly once again, like a runaway horse!
Level 108... Level 110... Level 113... Level 115...

boom! ! !
Level 117!
The nine spirit rings beneath his feet had now completely transformed into a dazzling seven-colored hue!

Millions of years!
Eighteen million-year-old divine-level spirit rings!

……

All living beings on the Douluo Continent watched this scene, and were all speechless with astonishment.

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xueye's scepter fell to the ground, and he slumped onto his throne.

"This...this is Dean Lin Yuan?"

"This isn't a human! This is clearly a living creator god!"

It was just a list of divine artifacts, yet it increased Lin Yuan's divine power by a total of fifteen levels!

If Lin Yuan was previously seen by everyone as just a newly ascended god, then...

So now there is no doubt that he is the strongest in this world!
Deep in the Star Forest.

Gu Yuena held the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, her beautiful purple eyes filled with disbelief.

As a former incarnation of the Dragon God, she knew better than anyone the hardships of becoming a god.

"Above the level of gods, each level of divine power requires thousands or even tens of thousands of years to accumulate faith and comprehend the laws."

"Even for me, it would take at least ten thousand years to recover from level 110 back to my prime."

Gu Yuena's heart raced as she looked at the man bathed in golden light.

"But he... only used it for one day."

"No, it was only for a moment!"

"Level 15 divine power! She jumped directly from the initial stage of the divine realm to the level of a second-level god! (Referring to the level) Her strength was already enough to make me wary, but now..."

This completely unreasonable method of advancement shattered Gu Yuena's understanding.

She originally thought that she had surpassed Lin Yuan with the help of the Dragon God's Heart.

But now, that man's silhouette seems so far away.

……

Canglan Academy.

Looking at Lin Yuan, who was now majestic and awe-inspiring, suppressing heaven and earth.

His disciples no longer had any shock in their eyes, only the purest fervor and admiration remained.

Xiao Wu excitedly waved her fists, her two long ears knotting with excitement:
Wow!! The teacher is so handsome!

"Hmph, let's see who dares to bully us now!"

Ning Rongrong was also excited, her face flushed. She thought to herself, "I've decided! Tonight I'll go deliver...deliver a midnight snack to my master! And while I'm at it, I'll discuss the use of the Human Emperor's Fruit!"

Although Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan did not speak, their tightly clasped hands and trembling bodies betrayed their inner excitement.

Their teacher is amazing.

They were so strong that they felt incredibly proud and honored!
"Quickly! Pass down the order!"

"From now on, whenever you see a dog from Canglan Academy, you must bow and salute to me!"

"Anyone who dares to offend Lin Yuan will be expelled from the sect, life or death!"

……

Just as the entire continent was immersed in the shock of Lin Yuan becoming a god.

The grand and indifferent voice of the heavens did not cease even after the end of the Divine Artifact Ranking.

On the contrary, the dazzling golden light surged again, as if brewing an even bigger storm!

[The ranking of legendary artifacts has ended!]

Ragnarok has begun!

[Celestial Announcement: The Divine Power Ranking will be released soon!]

"when!!!"

A stirring war drumbeat resounded throughout the Douluo Continent!

The rules for the Gods' Battle Power Ranking are as follows:

[I. This list includes all powerful individuals with god-level combat strength from the Douluo Continent and the God Realm!] [II. The list is updated in real time! The top ten will receive the highest rewards from the Heavenly Dao (including but not limited to godhood advancement, mastery of laws, resurrection techniques, etc.)!]

【III. Special Rules: Arena Challenge System!】

[Anyone who disagrees with the rankings may initiate a "Heavenly Arena Battle" at any time!]

[If the challenger wins: They will directly replace the opponent's ranking and plunder one of the opponent's Heavenly Dao rewards!]

[If the challenger loses: their divine power is stripped of one level, and they must kowtow to the winner to admit defeat and acknowledge that they are inferior in skill!]

[Life or death is irrelevant! The winner takes all!]

"boom!!!"

The moment this rule was announced, the eyes of the five great god-kings of the divine realm turned red!

They were all very curious about how the five great god-kings would rank in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao!

He was especially eager to try his luck with the strongest warrior, the Asura God. He didn't believe that anyone in the God Realm was stronger than him!

The [Gods' Battle Power Ranking], a ranking that is enough to change the entire universe's landscape, has officially begun!

All the gods held their breath at this moment. If the previous ranking of divine artifacts was based on "external objects" and "chance", then...

This power ranking is all about real "fist strength"!
Especially that cruel "arena challenge system," where the loser had to kowtow and be stripped of their first-level divine power!
This isn't just a matter of losing face, it's a matter of life and death!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the image on the sky slowly coalesced.

This time, it wasn't a single color, but red, blue, yellow, green, cyan, purple, and silver! Seven dazzling colors intertwined in the air, transforming into seven completely different emotional storms!

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and desire!

Amidst this intertwining of emotions and desires, a strange fluctuation, powerful enough to trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, slowly spread out.

[Ranked 10th on the Gods' Battle Power Ranking!]

The scene shifts, and the solemn and dignified Divine Council does not appear, nor does the smoke-filled battlefield.

Instead, it's a peaceful and serene... kitchen?
Yes, in the picture, there are seven kitchen knives of different shapes, each exuding a terrifying aura!

Name: Rong Nianbing

[Divine Position: God of Emotions (Level One Deity)]

[Affiliation: Divine Realm (Currently on a journey)]

[Core Combat Strength: Mastery of Seven Elements, Laws of Emotion, Seven Top-Tier Divine Weapons (Seven Kitchen Knives)]

[Reason for inclusion:]

He is the most unique anomaly in the realm of gods.

He entered the Tao through cooking and transformed his emotions into a divine force.

He simultaneously controls the seven elements: ice, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and space!
He possesses one of the most powerful explosive techniques in the divine realm, the "Ghost Carving Divine Blade"!
Although he is usually lazy and only likes to study food, when he gets serious, the seven pseudo-super artifacts combined together are powerful enough to briefly rival the God King!

He is a severely underestimated "hidden master" and the most dangerous "cook" in the divine realm!
……

Deep in the distant universe, on a scenic resort planet.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sand was soft.

A handsome, blue-haired man in a casual robe is wearing an apron and holding a crystal-clear ice knife, preparing sashimi for a large fish that he just caught.

Behind him, several stunningly beautiful women were lounging on beach chairs, enjoying the sun – a truly beautiful sight.

"Nianbing, is the fish ready yet? I'm starving!" a woman with long, fiery red hair said coquettishly.

"Here it comes! Honey, don't rush. This is top-grade bluefin tuna. It must be prepared with 'The Sigh of the Snow Goddess' for the best taste..."

Rong Nianbing responded cheerfully while skillfully wielding the kitchen knife.

He was already tired of the affairs of the divine realm, so he might as well take his wives on vacation.

However, just as he was about to strike,

"boom!!!"

Without warning, a golden beam of light pierced through the planet's atmosphere and landed precisely on him!

"Holy crap?! What's going on?!"

Rong Nianbing was so frightened that her hand trembled, and the precious tuna was chopped into mincemeat.

Before he could react, a vast and terrifying energy, so powerful it made his soul tremble, instantly poured into his body!
[Rewards Announced:]

[I. Divine Power Infusion: Breaking the Shackles of a First-Level God and Ascending to God-King!]

[II. Fundamental Fusion: Seven Top-Tier Divine Artifacts Advance to Super Divine Artifacts!]

[Part Three: Completing the Laws: The Laws of Emotions are Complete!]

Rong Nianbing's apron instantly ripped apart.

The ice blade in his hand, along with the other six divine blades that flew out of his spatial ring, emitted a dazzling light in the air!

From being a top-tier divine artifact, which could be considered a pseudo-super divine artifact, it was completely upgraded into a super divine artifact under the enhancement of the power of the Heavenly Curtain!

At the same time, Rong Nianbing's aura surged wildly, as if it had been launched into a rocket!

He was promoted directly from the late stage of a first-level god to a god-king!

"I...I've become the God King?"

Rong Nianbing was completely stunned when she saw the newly made super artifact in her hand.

He turned his head to look at the pile of fish meat that had turned to shreds, and then looked at the golden list in the sky that had not yet dissipated.

"Wait, what's going on? Douluo Heavenly Dao? When did the Heavenly Dao become so powerful?"

"I just came out for a vacation, how did I suddenly become a god-king?"

"If the Sea God or the Seven Elemental Gods knew about this, wouldn't they be green with envy?"

Although she complained, the glint in Rong Nianbing's eyes grew stronger.

Becoming a God-King means that his influence in the divine realm will reach its peak!

This feeling is so good!
"Nianbing...you..."

The wives behind him were also stunned, covering their mouths and not daring to speak. Their husbands had suddenly become gods while cutting a fish.

"Sigh, it seems our honeymoon is off."

Rong Nianbing sighed helplessly, and with a casual wave of his hand, tore apart the surrounding space.

"Such a huge change has happened in the realm of gods, and even I've made the list."

"It seems I have to go back and see what happened."

……

The divine realm, the committee.

If the previous ranking of divine artifacts only made the god-kings feel ashamed.

Now, Rong Nianbing's inclusion on the list has made them feel a "status crisis"!
Of course, they knew they would be much stronger than Rong Nianbing later on, but they just felt that the Heavenly Dao was a bit too unbelievable, that it could do such a thing.
Who exactly is this Heavenly Dao?

"Rong Nianbing? Tenth place? And he's directly rewarded with a promotion to God King?!"

The God of Destruction gazed at the sky, his purple eyes filled with disbelief.

The God Realm is stable because the five God Kings check and balance each other. Now that Rong Nianbing has suddenly appeared, whichever side he favors will undoubtedly have more say.

"This kid's luck... is just too good!"

Poseidon, the god of the sea, looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred. He and Rong Nianbing had a fairly good relationship, and even shared a similar plight, both wanting to retire.

Moreover, among the first-level gods in the God Realm, he and Rong Nianbing can both be considered to be among the top-ranked.

Rong Nianbing is clearly on the list. Does he also have a chance?
