"Who's next?!"

The blood-robed youth looked around. Although he was covered in blood, his aura was even more unrestrained and sharp, making him seem somewhat reckless.

The audience was somewhat silent. The many deities on the viewing platform watched the scene calmly. The arrogance of the blood-robed youth did not offend them. After all, they had all had a period of arrogance when they were young. Which top genius is not proud?

In this world, what's scary isn't arrogance, but being arrogant when you have no ability!

Seeing no one respond, the young man in the blood-red robe chuckled, "It seems I'll have to accept the Cangwu Candle Dragon egg. Thank you, Loulan family, for your generosity!"

These words caused a stir among the people below.

The Cangwu Zhulong egg was offered as a prize by the Loulan family, which is why it attracted these guys on the God Lord Ranking to spar. It is a dragon beast egg with the bloodline of the God Conferred Realm, and it is extremely precious.

It's important to know that battle pets at the Divine Realm are quite rare!

Many cultivators at the Divine Realm have more than a dozen pet slots, but having four or five Divine Realm battle pets is considered quite good!

To replace all pet beasts with those at the Divine Realm, unless it's a super power like the Loulan family, and the pet beasts are Divine Realm experts who receive special care within the family, probably only a Heavenly Lord could accomplish this.

Ordinary divine beasts are extremely difficult to capture, and they are all highly intelligent. If they can't beat them, they will run away. Even if they encounter some diviners with powerful secret treasures, if they are captured by chance, they will fight to the death, or even self-destruct!

For these demonic beasts, being subservient to humans as battle pets is tantamount to being enslaved. Rather than that, they would rather perish together. This is the explosive nature of wild demonic beasts.

Therefore, most people who have attained the status of a deity treat demonic beasts of the Deity Realm with utmost rarity. There are very few adult demonic beasts with the bloodline of the Deity Realm for sale on the market. Occasionally, some cubs or eggs of demonic beasts with the bloodline of the Deity Realm will appear and be snatched up quickly.

The fact that the Loulan family could offer a dragon beast egg with divine blood as a prize during a competition among their juniors is such a luxurious and extravagant act that it makes people wary of the Loulan family's deep-rooted resources.

"With your strength, it's rather wishful thinking to think you can take this Cangwu Dragon Beast egg."

On the high platform, a light, airy voice rang out. The speaker was a young man in a golden robe, dressed casually, with a docile white cat nestled in his arms. But upon closer inspection, one would notice that this white cat was different from ordinary cats. Its eyes reflected a purple light, and it had two black spots on its forehead, making it look like it had four pupils. Behind its licking paws were sharp, raised barbs, and its tail was like a snake whip, extremely agile.

"Oh?"

The blood-robed youth raised his head, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and said, "Want to give it a try?"

"I never take advantage of others in their time of need."

The young man in the golden robe stroked the white cat and said calmly, "I'll give you time to heal. Once you're fully recovered, I'll let you open your eyes. Oh, by the way, I have some healing medicine here; enough for you to fully recover within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

As he spoke, he tossed down a golden bottle, which flew toward the blood-red-robed youth.

A flash of malice crossed the blood-robed youth's eyes. With a cold snort, he flicked his hand, sending the healing medicine flying back, and said, "Fine, wait half an incense stick's time, then I'll come and test my skills!"

After saying this, he left the stage and went down to heal his injuries.

The golden bottle flew back into the golden-robed youth's hand. He casually took it, shook his head, smiled, and didn't seem to care.

"It's the Xuanyuan Dragon from the Sword Skull Sector!"

"Who is he?"

"He might not be well-known in our star sector, but in the Sword Skull Star Sector, he was an extremely famous and monstrous genius five hundred years ago. He once reached second place on the God Lord Ranking and almost reached the top. Although he later fell back to third, you all know that the top three on the God Lord Ranking are all monsters."

"Tsk, the Loulan family actually managed to invite such top-tier geniuses; what a grand gesture!"

"What's so special about this? If Lord Yelan can invite him, then forget about these guys. All the geniuses on the God Lord Rankings of the entire twelve star sectors of the universe combined are no match for even one of Lord Yelan's hands!"

"That's true. After all, they're already Heavenly Lords. Sigh, the power of the Loulan family is growing stronger and stronger. The merchant alliance we cooperated with before seems to be run by a direct descendant of the Loulan family. It seems we'll have to contact them again later."

The forces that came to this planet to participate in the ceremony were a mixed bag, but they were all prominent figures from their respective star sectors, and they all felt the power and influence of the Loulan family.

"Several of the top geniuses on the God Lord Rankings of each star region have come. It would be great if a universal conference of Star Lords could be held sometime to see who the number one Star Lord is in each of the twelve star regions."

On the offering platform, the red-browed old man next to Su Ping laughed and drank his wine, looking every bit the part of someone who loved watching the fun.

"Unfortunately, such a grand gathering will not happen. These youngsters are all putting in their best efforts to achieve the title of God. Once they succeed, they may become Heavenly Lords. They don't care about these empty titles. Even the face of us who have achieved the title of God is useless in front of these youngsters."

A person nearby remarked with emotion.

"Back when we were on the God List, we were all arrogant and looked down on everyone. I understand, I understand..."

"You guys are doing well, you even made it onto the God List, unlike me, I just coasted through."

"Give me a break. You're the one among us with the best chance of becoming a Heavenly Lord. These official rankings don't necessarily reflect the whole picture. Some prodigies from powerful forces are like you, not bothering with these empty titles—that's too unethical!"

"That's called being low-key."

Many of the worshippers were chatting and laughing.

Below the stage, as the blood-robed youth left, the other Starry Sky Realm and Star Lord Realm cultivators also went up to spar. However, they seemed to know that they had no hope of competing for the Cangwu Yelong Egg, so they sparred rather politely, stopping when they had a point.

Many members of the Loulan family also participated, exchanging skills and demonstrating remarkable talent.

Inside, Su Ping also saw Hai, and the opponent he challenged was someone Su Ping knew: the Dragon Shepherd.

After several years, the Dragon Shepherd's battle pets seemed to be all gathered again, still in a full dragon formation. Under the pressure of his dragon formation, Hai unleashed the power of the Bone Demon Battle Body, transforming into a huge, pitch-black bone demon. Streams of rules attacked out like chains, which was quite amazing, but in the end, it was still defeated by the Dragon Shepherd.

Nevertheless, the young man's performance still caught the attention of many of the deities, and even the Heavenly Emperor.

On the high platform, the Heavenly Lords were talking. After the competition ended, they saw Hai being summoned to the Heavenly Lords' seats. In front of one of the Heavenly Lords, he seemed to be questioned.

Soon, Hai sat down next to the Heavenly Lord, most likely having been accepted as his disciple.

On the contrary, the Dragon Shepherd, although he amazed the audience, did not perform much differently from his performance in the Cosmic Genius Battle not long ago. He was just more skilled at controlling his battle pets and his own secret techniques and rules were also strengthened and improved. But overall, he was still following the same path. After all, it is unlikely that he could make great changes and adjustments in just a few years.

Moreover, the Dragon Shepherds likely already have Heavenly Monarch-level forces behind them, so this performance did not earn them an invitation from the God-Sealing Masters on the high platform.

Soon, two more familiar faces took to the stage: Liusheng Futu and Lillian. They were about to spar with each other.

Su Ping was eating and drinking when he saw this and began to watch with great interest.

To Su Ping's surprise, in addition to the Six Lives Pagoda, Lillian had also condensed a small world. The two fought fiercely, but both were still under control and did not go all out. Nevertheless, their performance shocked the entire audience. After all, they were only at the Starry Sky Realm, yet they were able to rival the Star Lord Realm.

The gap between the Starry Sky Realm and the Star Lord Realm is enormous, almost an insurmountable chasm. However, some extremely outstanding geniuses are able to cross this chasm. Without a doubt, the two on the stage belong to this type of genius.

"It seems everyone has been improving rapidly these past few years, and I need to catch up even faster," Su Ping thought to himself.

"Lord Su, these two were your rivals in the Cosmic Genius Battle back then, right?" At this moment, a retainer asked Su Ping.

Su Ping looked over and nodded, saying, "The Genius Battle is over. Now we can be considered friends."

"Friends?" someone asked in surprise, not expecting that rivals from the same year would become friends.

"Back then, when Su Gongfeng condensed a small world at the Heavenly Fate Realm, it shocked the entire universe. Today, Su Gongfeng's friends are condensing small worlds at the Starry Sky Realm, which is enough to amaze the universe. Indeed, the universe is developing faster and faster, and talents are emerging in large numbers," one of the Gongfengs remarked.

"Consort Su's strength is probably much greater than before. Why don't you go and have a go?" one of the consorts said with a smile.

"That's true. I've heard that Venerable Su has combat power comparable to those on the God Lord Ranking. Ordinary Star Lords are easily killed in front of the prodigies on the God Lord Ranking." A female Venerable said softly, her eyes shining as she looked at Su Ping.

"If that's the case, in a few years, wouldn't Su Gongfeng be able to compete with Xuanyuan Long and the like?" one of the Gongfengs asked in surprise.

"Of course, given Su Gongfeng's growth rate, it's only a matter of time."

"Tsk tsk."

The worshippers looked at Su Ping with increasingly gentle eyes. Although there was some flattery in their words, they all understood that, given Su Ping's rapid growth, it was indeed true.

After all, it would take at least several thousand years for prodigies like Xuanyuan Long to successfully become gods, and during that time, Su Ping would have enough time to reach the peak of the Star Lord realm and compete with them.

It's important to know that Xuanyuan Long and his group rose to prominence later, squeezing out those prodigies who had long occupied the God Lord Ranking.

Once Su Ping reaches the limit of the Star Lord realm, it won't be long before he also secures his own place on the God Lord Ranking!

Faced with the gazes of these people, Su Ping felt somewhat helpless. This was affecting his ability to eat. Although he didn't care about his image, it was difficult for him to continue eating and drinking without regard for his image when he was being watched so admiringly by a group of people.

"Are any other top-ranked individuals from other star regions on the God Lord Ranking coming this time?" Su Ping thought for a moment, and since it was just casual conversation anyway, he decided to chat with these people.

"Number one on the God Ranking?"

One of the worshippers immediately looked up and glanced around, but quickly looked away and shook his head, saying, "I don't think I saw anything. However, it seems that the second-ranked guy in the Dragon Eagle Star Region has arrived. If I hadn't just glanced at him, I wouldn't have noticed. It seems that this time, the Cangwu Yelong egg will fall into this guy's hands."

"Oh?"

The other offerings were swept away, and the person was quickly discovered.

"It's hard to say. The God Lord Ranking in the Dragon Eagle Star Region is only so-so, about the same as our Golden Star Region," a retainer said, shaking his head.

"If I had known the family was so willing to give up so much, I would have liked to go and spar with them. The Cangwu Yelong Egg, a kind of divine dragon beast that can be raised from a young age, will be exceptionally close and loyal in the future. When it comes to real danger, the most reliable thing is still this kind of loyal battle pet. Those that are tamed halfway through are still unreliable."

"That's not entirely true. You have to trust your pet to make it trust you. Pets are trained later in life. With proper care and the help of a superhuman breeder, it's still possible for them to achieve extremely high loyalty."

The worshippers immediately began chatting about the issue of loyalty among their pets.

Seeing that they seemed to have forgotten about him, Su Ping felt somewhat helpless but also happy to have some peace and quiet, and continued eating and drinking.

Since no one from the top of the God Lord Ranking has appeared, he has no interest in paying attention anymore. He originally wanted to see what level the top God Lord in other star regions was at, but now that he doesn't have that opportunity, he might as well give up.

Not long after, Su Ping suddenly heard the red-browed old man next to him call out, "Master Su, it seems someone down below wants to challenge you."

"A challenge to me?"

Su Ping looked up, instinctively thinking it was Ye Ling, the one who had just caused trouble with him, but found it was an unfamiliar face, and the cultivation aura... was Starry Sky Realm?

Su Ping was somewhat surprised, but then he saw that the young man at the Starry Sky Realm was also looking at him. He said loudly, "I heard that Brother Su Ping, the disciple of the Divine Venerable and the champion of the previous Cosmic Genius Battle, is also here. I wonder if you could come down and give me some pointers?"

"A disciple of the Divine Lord?"

"Su Ping? That name sounds familiar... Ah! Isn't he that monstrous genius who condensed a small world at the Heavenly Fate Realm?"

"He's here too? Where is he?"

Upon hearing the young man's words, the crowd erupted in uproar. Many people even stood up and looked around, searching for Su Ping's figure. But soon, they followed the young man's gaze and saw Su Ping on the offering platform.

They were somewhat taken aback when they saw Su Ping sitting with a group of Loulan family retainers at a separate table.

Su Ping was stunned, and immediately felt countless eyes on him, as if he had become the focus of the entire room in an instant.

The four maids beside him also became nervous. Although they were all very famous stars who had enjoyed the spotlight, it was a completely different story from what they were experiencing now. These people who were able to come to the inner area were all prominent figures in their respective star systems. They were either Star Lords or Star Realm experts with powerful backgrounds. With countless eyes focused on them, the pressure made them feel almost paralyzed.

"Who are you?" Su Ping asked, puzzled.

The young man in the arena smiled and said, "I am from the Gaju Star System. I have participated in the Cosmic Genius Battle before, but unfortunately I did not make it to the end. However, victory and defeat are common in war. A temporary victory or defeat cannot determine anything. Now we are both at the Star Realm. I would like to spar with Brother Su Ping and see how big the gap is between me and the Cosmic Champion."

Su Ping shook his head and said, "Don't focus on others. Cultivators should just focus on improving themselves. The difference between you and me doesn't determine anything. We cultivate diligently to constantly surpass ourselves, and that's how we reach the pinnacle!"

The young man in the arena was taken aback, his smile turning somewhat sinister. He said, "Could it be that Brother Su Ping is too proud to fight, or are you worried that battling me will damage the image of a super genius you've cultivated?"

What?

Su Ping was taken aback. Seeing the other person's eyes, he immediately realized that this person seemed to have ill intentions.

But how dare a mere Starry Sky Realm expert cause me trouble?

Were you acting under someone's orders?

Su Ping looked up and around, and saw some of the deification experts from the Loulan family frowning, seemingly displeased with the young man in the room. Some of the deification experts from outside cast friendly glances, while others smiled knowingly, as if waiting for a good show.

Judging from their expressions alone, Su Ping couldn't immediately pinpoint who was targeting him.

He thought for a moment and suddenly understood what his master had said: there are some enemies that he cannot see, because as long as he is strong enough, he will unintentionally provoke many people.

That is why even the most powerful cannot count their enemies.

However, they will only remember those who pose a threat to them.

"It seems that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it, and I've become one of those trees too."

Su Ping's eyes flashed as he looked down at the young man below the stage, his expression turning indifferent: "I don't fight with people of the same realm, not because I cherish my reputation, but because I'm afraid of discouraging you and making you despair. Since you're so eager to challenge me, you should defeat my partner first."

As he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared beside him and stepped out from the summoning space.
