All heavens, let's begin with the Divine Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power!

Chapter 178 The Living Cub
"The Celestial Race, the Mechanical Race, the Netherworld Race, the Corpse Race, the Spirit Race, and the Xilin Race have all been wiped out. Their positions should be filled!"

Discussions arose from the starry sky. The ranking of the stars in the heavens represents not only a simple position, but also a mysterious fortune. The top 100 stars and the top ten sacred stars will attract the favor of the universe, gather the essence of heaven and earth, and give birth to unparalleled heroes.

The rise of Earth is unstoppable; the question is where it will rank.

Many powerful interstellar races are curious and await the final result.

It is certain that the ranking of the stars in the heavens is not determined by them. As long as a star enters the top 100,000, a special stone tablet will fall from the sky, recording the star's ranking.

It can be traced back to hundreds of millions of years ago, appearing as early as the time of the Dragon Ancestor.

The Dragon Ancestor Legend is that the ancestral dragon, a divine beast, was born at the beginning of the creation of this universe. It can be said that the ranking of stars is already bound to this universe, and many races have long adapted to it.

"Hundreds of millions of years..."

Yang An could 'hear' and 'see' what was happening in the starry sky and the discussions, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

How long has this little underworld been around?

Or perhaps the Corpse Immortal Emperor has undergone countless reincarnations, and this ranking of stars is also his doing? Or is it a scheme orchestrated by some other force, guiding the Lesser Underworld Universe?

He had seen that stone tablet on Mount Tai before, but he ignored it and kicked it over.

However, it cannot be denied that this ranking of stars does have some significance.

Yang An thought of many possibilities simply by using the method: absorbing the fortune of other races, controlling them, and so on, planting seeds—there were too many possibilities.

In the world beyond the deep space, there are similar things that rank True Saints, Great Powers Who Have Returned to Truth, and Contraband, but in reality, it's just for the purpose of better harvesting.

"Many races originated from the human race, but after becoming powerful, they separated and became independent. This is true in the Lesser Underworld and also in the Yang Realm. The Human King Race, the Otherworldly Race, the Sub-Immortal Race, and the Dao Race are all products of this kind."

Yang An keenly perceived some of the problems. Strictly speaking, such a division of ethnic groups was somewhat hasty and more akin to a traditional moral code.

But after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, this has become common knowledge. If you ask them, they can't give you a clear answer. It's even possible that the gods originally came from the human race, but now they don't consider themselves human at all.

"The Celestial Race possesses an origin that is similar to a divine body!"

This is the truth that Yang An discovered from the origin of life and bloodline genes of the Celestial Clan after he destroyed them. He had suppressed Ji Haoyue during the era of Shrouding the Heavens and knew what a divine body looked like.

We've come full circle again. Earth is in a cycle, and so is the underworld. The Celestials think they are outsiders, high and mighty, but in reality, they are not; they are probably natives.

The time span of billions of years is too mysterious. It has gone through countless eras, intricate and complex, even the river of time has stopped flowing, and there are immortal emperors who illuminate all the heavens and resurrect people of an era, covering up everything.

Yang An shook his head. Under such immense power, discussing time was meaningless.

"We're number one now!"

News has arrived that someone has seen changes in the Star Stone Tablet on the ancient star.

Surprisingly, yet not entirely unexpected, this ranking has always been rotated among the Immortal Race, the Dao Race, the Buddhist Race, and the Primordial Demon Race. But do they have the strength to exterminate the Celestial Race, the Mechanical Race, and the other top ten races?

Obviously not!
"This takes into account the power of Heaven, as well as those demons."

Yao Yao appeared beside Yang An, her face showing a mixture of joy and relief. Ranking first was far beyond what they had achieved in ancient times.

Yang An nodded slightly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

But the others weren't so calm.

"First place?!"

The Immortal Clan, the Primordial Demon Clan, the Dao Clan, and the Buddhist Clan found it hard to believe. This surpassed their accumulated knowledge over tens of thousands of years. It was incredibly easy. Some members of their clans simply couldn't believe it and discussed it among themselves.

"Regardless, we should present a grand gift to celebrate the birth of the number one ranked planet!"

Not only the top ten races are making moves, but many other powerful forces, such as the Great Dream Pure Land, the Immortal Music Pure Land, the Haoran Academy, and the Zixiao Palace, are also taking action to curry favor with Earth.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the next long period will be an era in which Earth dominates the universe.

Alternatively, it can be assumed to be Heaven, under the protection of that great Lord of Heaven, which is why Earth possesses such power.

Many small ethnic groups have now begun to worship Heaven as a whole and have carved statues of gods belonging to Yang'an.

I must say, this behavior is quite useful.

Encountering a wandering demon from hell might bring a reward if you're lucky, or even worse, when enemies attack, the demon might crush them and save them from disaster. This story is widely circulated and is often talked about.

"Invincible under the starry sky, worshipped by all races!"

"That's right, it's me, Chu Wudi's...boss at Paradise!"

As Chu Feng walked around, he felt the awe and respect that others held for him, a feeling he had never experienced before, which made him smile from ear to ear.

"Hey, isn't that one of the Ten Beauties of the Starry Sky? Why are you smiling so happily?" Huang Niu joked from the side. They had been in the starry sky for a long time, half a month had passed. While wiping out the Xilin Clan's forces, they were also searching for the remnants of Earth's past, preparing to bring them back to Earth. These remnants had suffered terribly. Many were enslaved by the Xilin Clan, treated as slaves, and frequently beaten, killed, and tortured.

The more this happened, the angrier Chu Feng became, regretting that those people had died too easily when the Xilin home planet was destroyed.

"Hehe, I'm going to have a beef feast today." Chu Feng wasn't going to put up with the bull. The two of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle in the starry sky, almost obliterating the Great Dao and even shaking apart the asteroid belt.

The two of them have made rapid progress in their cultivation and have now reached the realm of "Eating the Clouds". With the treasures bestowed by the sage, they have no worries about the resources at this level.

"call out!"

As they fought, a crystal spaceship sped past them like lightning, incredibly fast.

"What is that?" Chu Feng and Huang Niu stopped their battle, looking at each other with some surprise and uncertainty. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the crystal spaceship completely attracted their attention.

It possessed an aura that was completely out of place in their universe; though it didn't look very big, it was as hot as the sun.

Unfortunately, it was too fast, and I couldn't see what it was.

"Shh!"

While they were wondering what was going on, the departing crystal spaceship suddenly turned around and flew towards them, landing steadily above Chu Feng and his companions.

"Hey, are you the masters of these demons?" A clear voice came from the crystal spaceship, filled with curiosity. "I see you have quite a few. Can you sell me a few?"

Zhou Xi was indeed very interested. He thought the species he saw that day was very rare, the progenitor of the mutation in the Little Underworld Universe, but after going around in circles, he found that it was not at all.

These demons roam the starry sky.

She tried to capture it, but felt too embarrassed to do so, since it sounded like it had an owner, from some kind of paradise.

Although he didn't know why it was called Heaven, yet it was filled with so many demonic and ferocious monsters, Zhou Xi still felt he should ask the master for his opinion.

Taking without asking is theft, and as a model young woman of the new era, I cannot leave a stain on my reputation.

"what?"

Chu Feng and Huang Niu gaped in disbelief. Someone actually wanted to buy a demon? What's going on these days?

“I’m offering a very high price, you can consider it.” Zhou Xi opened the spaceship’s hatch, climbed out, and was wearing a Saint-level battle armor that emitted a hazy glow, covering his entire body and isolating him from Yin energy.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, a mischievous smile on her face, and exuded a warm and inviting aura.

"How about it, you two little devils?"

Zhou Xi appeared nonchalant, but quickly broke down, rubbing her hands together. "Why is it so cold? I should have brought more clothes," she muttered.

"Who are you calling a brat? You're not that old, and this demon isn't one of ours." Chu Feng raised an eyebrow. He had a feeling that the other person's words were loaded with meaning, and that incongruous aura and tone of voice...

The image of the mortal realm that Yang An, Yao Yao's grandfather, and Empress Mingchuan had discussed flashed through his mind. Could it really be someone from the mortal realm?

This is the attitude of people in the mortal world; they regard those in the underworld as wandering ghosts.

Unlike the other people he had met in the mortal realm, this girl didn't seem to have such deep-seated hatred. The others seemed to have fled to the underworld, but the girl in front of him looked relaxed and carefree, as if she had come to the underworld for a vacation.

It's a rare baby from the mortal realm; perhaps it can be fooled and taken to Earth.

Chu Feng and Huang Niu exchanged a glance and instantly understood what the other was thinking.

“This demon is the property of the great Lord of Heaven. You can borrow it to play with, but if you want to buy two, you’ll have to go to Earth,” they urged.

“Oh…” Zhou Xi drawled, then smiled, “Earth, huh? I’ve heard that several times these past few days. Alright then, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

She wandered around the starry sky for a long time but didn't find anything interesting. She had seen the Asura Clan, the Primordial Demon Clan, and the Dao Clan in the mortal world, but she had never seen a demon before.

The sub-immortal race in the mortal realm also ranks among the top ten. The Daoist and Buddhist races are even more unfathomable, ranking among the three strongest races. The original Daoist race, the nine-colored Daoist race, the golden body Daoist race, the Bodhi Buddhist race, the mechanical Buddhist race, and the Great Thunder Sound Buddhist race, which are simply branches, are all exceptionally powerful.

"Plan goes through!"

Chu Feng and Huang Niu smiled, and Zhou Xi also smiled.

These two wandering ghosts are quite interesting, a thought flashed through the mind of the girl from the mortal realm. They're so young yet so cunning, who are they trying to fool? Don't they know that Zhou Xi is a peerless goddess, a once-in-a-millennium beauty from the Zhou family?

She chuckled inwardly.

Upon closer inspection, the two people and the ox in front of them all looked incredibly young. Even the ancient bronze burning demon and the others beside them were standard infants in the mortal realm. These days, who isn't a baby?

On the other side, many powerful extraterrestrial nations that had established diplomatic relations with Earth arrived.

Among them was the Asura Clan, led by a sage, who brought Ying Zhexian and Ying Wudi to pay their respects to Yang An and congratulate Earth on reaching the top of the rankings.
