Chapter 375 The Horror of the Great World
"Boom—!!!"
Just then, the golden stone tablet in the center of the square, which had been silent all along, suddenly emitted a booming sound like a great bell.
This sound did not travel through the air, but exploded directly in the depths of the soul of every reincarnator, carrying an ancient and supreme majesty.
The crowd, who had been laughing at the newcomer, suddenly stopped laughing as if a duck had been choked.
All eyes, as if drawn by some mysterious force, converged on the golden stone tablet.
[Reincarnation Palace - Reincarnation Ranking of the Great Thousand Worlds]
These ancient characters are now radiating a golden light that is enough to pierce the soul.
The Great Thousand World Ranking has begun!
Unlike the rapid updates of the previous three lists, the unveiling process of the Great Thousand Worlds List was exceptionally solemn, even carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
Golden light flowed across the surface of the stone tablet like ripples on water, and each name seemed to be painstakingly retrieved from the long river of time, slowly emerging.
The first to appear was the goalkeeper ranked 100th.
[Number 100: Tiger Hunting Tonight]
Race: Demon Race (Tiger Race)
[Universe Affiliation: Number 9281744]
Overall Rating: B
Upon seeing the rankings and evaluations, an incredulous gasp rang out in the square.
"Rank B? Am I seeing things?!"
A reincarnator who had just been promoted from a lower world stared wide-eyed and pointed at the stone tablet, shouting loudly.
"This is in the top 100! How come it's only a B grade? You know, in the rankings of lower, middle, and even higher worlds, the 100th place is at least an A grade, and most of them are even A+!"
His doubts are not without merit.
The Palace of Reincarnation connects all the heavens and myriad realms, and the number of those who are reborn is as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.
With such a large population base, those who can make it into the top 100 are all top geniuses from various universes.
In the past, the rankings were like a battle of gods, with scores that were frighteningly high.
"Exactly! I remember last month, the 100th place on the Advanced World Ranking had an A rating. Why does the prestige of this world seem to have shrunk?"
"Could it be that the anti-corruption campaign tonight got special treatment?"
Hearing the newcomers' comments, a veteran reincarnator nearby couldn't help but sneer.
"Downsizing? Backdoor deals? Ha, ignorance is bliss."
He turned around, revealing a pair of eyes that flickered with eerie green flames, coldly scanning the group of noisy newcomers around him, his tone carrying a complex mix of mockery and awe.
"You guys are obviously newbies who haven't experienced the harsh realities of the world."
"What do you think the vast world is? It's a true den of dragons and tigers, a battleground where gods and demons dance together!"
Seeing that everyone was intimidated by his imposing manner, the man then slowly and methodically explained.
"First, you need to understand one concept. What enables us to wield power and influence in lower, middle, and even higher worlds? Is it truly because we are exceptionally gifted?"
"No! It's because of the 'information gap' and 'overwhelming foundation' that we, the Samsara Palace, have bestowed upon us!"
"We went to those lower-dimensional worlds with a mature cultivation system and high-level cultivation techniques, just like a fully armed special forces soldier who traveled to a primitive tribe."
"We can easily leverage our superior techniques to challenge opponents of higher levels, and even become the strongest in this world in a short period. This is the fundamental reason why we can achieve A-level and S-level ratings!"
At this point, the man's voice suddenly lowered, carrying a hint of barely concealed tremor.
"However, the so-called vast world... is completely different."
"The foundation of that world is in no way inferior to our universe, and in some aspects it even surpasses it! There are immortal dynasties that have been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, long-lived families that have witnessed the vicissitudes of life, and even the lineage left behind by true immortals!"
"In that kind of world, the cultivation techniques we are so proud of may not even be as good as the basic techniques of other sects; our self-righteous combat experience is like a baby waving its fist in the eyes of those ancient monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years."
"Without these advantages, we would be a group of 'outsiders' without any foundation, background, or even the language."
"Under these circumstances, let alone stirring up trouble, just surviving and integrating into that world, without being burned at the stake as a heretic, is already a stroke of good fortune! Do you still think a B-grade rating is low? That's an honor that many ninth-tier powerhouses couldn't earn!"
That person's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of all the newlyweds present.
Those who had just thought the B-grade rating was low now looked at each other, a chill running down their spines.
Yes, they are used to being gods who "destroy with dimensional reduction" in low-dimensional worlds, but they have forgotten that if they go to a world of the same or even higher dimensions, they are actually nothing.
"and……"
At this moment, another elderly human carrying a longsword also spoke, his expression equally solemn:
"You only know one side of the story, not the other. The terror of this world lies not only in its inherent strengths, but also in its 'malice'."
"Malicious intent?" some people asked, puzzled.
"That's right."
The old man nodded, a flicker of lingering fear flashing in his eyes.
"I know what you're talking about. Those who are reincarnated into the Great Thousand Worlds are probably not weak either, and there are even many ninth-tier powerhouses among them. You think that these ninth-tier powerhouses can grow up and stir up trouble in that world, right?"
Everyone nodded instinctively.
The ninth rank—that's already the pinnacle of existence in the mortal realm.
"Hmph, naive! So naive!"
The old man gave a cold laugh.
"If a ninth-tier powerhouse is reincarnated, will they definitely become a ninth-tier powerhouse? Putting aside the randomness of the reincarnation world, what if they are reborn into a useless body that cannot cultivate, or are hunted down by a powerhouse from the start? What use are the cultivation insights of a ninth-tier powerhouse then?"
"More importantly... those indigenous forces that have stood for millions of years in this vast world are not fools! They have plenty of ways to monitor the secrets of heaven!"
"As far as I know, there are many extremely dangerous worlds whose world wills are extremely xenophobic. They might even issue divine decrees ordering their top local powers to form 'hunting teams' specifically to hunt down reincarnated individuals like us who possess otherworldly auras!"
"In that kind of world, we'd be like rats in the street! Once our identities were exposed, we'd be hunted down by the entire world! Forget about stirring up trouble; just surviving to die a natural death would be a stroke of good fortune!"
"hiss--!!!"
Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted across the square.
Actively hunting down reincarnated individuals?
Is the world's will reject it?
This isn't a training exercise; it's a suicide mission!
No wonder the list of the Great Thousand Worlds is so prestigious, no wonder even a B-level person can be on the list.
To achieve something, even if it's only at the B level, in such an environment where everyone is an enemy, is enough to prove the strength of that "tiger hunter tonight".
Just as everyone's values were being reshaped and their moods were becoming increasingly heavy, the rankings on the golden stone tablet continued to change.
90th place... Rating: B+.
Seventieth place... Rating A.
50th place... Rating A.
The rankings are rising at a slower and slower pace, and each name that appears seems to carry a harrowing and tragic history.
Finally, it made it into the top ten.
The rating has finally stabilized at A+.
"Look! The top three are about to be announced!"
Someone shouted, drawing everyone's attention back to the top of the list.
A brilliant golden light shone forth, and a line of characters slowly emerged.
Third Place: Night Shadow
Race: Human
[Universe Affiliation: Number 3872939]
Overall Rating: S+
