"First place in this round!"

Bubu answered with absolute certainty.

She was absolutely certain.

The first place result in this round of the competition

No one but Ye Mo!

...

Inside the magnificent, golden temple of the Divine Curse Star Clan,

King Taiyu of the Divine Curse Star Clan, along with many elders of the Divine Curse Star Clan, were waiting for news from the Star Domain Grand Competition.

The doors to the parliament hall were opened.

A communications officer rushed in,

"Wang, the results of the first round are in!"

Seeing the messenger's flustered appearance,

A jolt went through the heart of Taiyu, the king of the Divine Curse Star Clan.

They sensed something was wrong!

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

Taiyu said to the messenger who rushed in this time.

The messenger wiped the cold sweat from his brow and honestly reported,

"Wang, the rankings for the first round have been announced!"

"Our best ranking as a Divine Curse Star Clan is 410,000. Compared to the best rankings of the other twenty-eight Divine Remnant Quasar Clan prodigies, we are ranked twenty-seventh!"

"Among the other prodigies of the Divine Legacy Star Clan, the best ranking was achieved by Sabella of the Myriad Flower Star Clan, who secured a place in the top 100,000! Next was Wang Ye of the Northern Tiger Star Clan, who also achieved a place in the top 100,000! The third place is..."

"Alright!" Taiyu waved his hand, interrupting the communications officer's report.

The best ranking was 410,000, which placed them 27th among all the participating Quasar races in the bet.

Why don't you just say it's second to last?

Knowing this ranking,

Taiyu had lost all interest in hearing the rankings of the other star races that participated in the bet.

Taiyu rubbed his temples.

This time things have really gotten out of hand!

It should be noted that before this Starfield Grand Competition,

The twenty-eight Quasars, descendants of gods, gathered together.

The bet was settled.

With these twenty-eight prodigies of the divine remnant quasar race,

Compare the results of the first round of the competition.

Using the first-place ranking of each star race's prodigy as a comparison,

Rank them.

The top three prodigies,

The corresponding star population,

The betting funds in this gambling pool can be divided.

The Quasars, the remnants of the gods, are not as mysterious and glorious as outsiders imagine.

This also follows the amazing Pareto principle of the universe.

More than 150 remnant quasars,

The top 20% of the Star Clan are among them.

In other words, the top thirty powerful quasar races are doing very well.

The Star Clan itself is powerful and has no shortage of resources.

However, the remaining 80% of the Quasars...

Both are experiencing resource shortages.

Especially for a power ranking like the Divine Curse Star Clan,

At the bottom of the Quasar race.

The Star Clan, which has consistently ranked outside the top 100 for many years,

Those were truly difficult days!

I'm either starving or eating irregularly!

Especially in recent years,

Resources are drastically reduced due to the increasing losses caused by the apocalypse.

The Divine Curse Star Clan feels they are about to collapse!

In order to ensure that their star race obtains more useful resources

It's common to see several bottom-ranked Quasars gathering together.

Let's make a bet!

If you win, the whole clan celebrates; if you lose, you have to tighten your belt and live a frugal life!

This isn't the first time the Divine Curse Star Clan has gambled with other Divine Remnant Quasar Clan.

But this time,

The twenty-eight remnant quasars participating in the betting game all placed relatively large bets!

"Five years' worth of accumulated supplies! A full five years!"

Taiyu's heart was bleeding!

After five long years of hard work, they finally managed to save up some money.

Now look what happened, we've lost everything!

Because of this defeat in the imperial examination, the national treasury...

It's about to be completely emptied out!

What follows is not as simple as just tightening your belt.

Taiyu felt he was about to meet the other defeated Star Clan Kings on the rooftop!

"Five years' worth of national treasury resources! Your Majesty, are you insane, gambling so heavily!"

"Didn't you say you only gambled on one year's national treasury revenue?"

Taiyu's voice wasn't loud as he talked to himself.

But the elders present, with their sharp ears and keen eyes, could not possibly miss it.

Taiyu sighed and shook his head.

"It's not one year, it's five years! I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of unrest in Star Clan!"

Upon learning that Taiyu had staked five years' worth of national treasury resources,

The elders present panicked!

They also understood the current situation of the Divine Curse Star Clan.

Years of apocalyptic depletion,

This has depleted most of the Star Clan's reserves and resources.

They had finally managed to accumulate some supplies over the past five years.

That's good now.

It hasn't even warmed up in my hands yet.

It was sent away by the wasteful capital!

This matter concerns the fate of the Divine Curse Star Clan.

This naturally drew protests from most of the elders present.

"Your Majesty, before making such a momentous decision, could you please discuss it with us?"

"This is terrible! Our Divine Curse Star Clan is completely destitute! Every Divine Remnant Quasar Clan is in the same boat. The treasuries are full of rare treasures in this apocalypse! Ordinary resources are useless to us Divine Remnant Quasar Clan! If we lose these treasures as gambling, where will we find them again!"

"It's all that Curse's fault. He said he'd guarantee with his own head that the geniuses he trained would definitely get into the top three! Good grief, the results are out, they're second to last! That old geezer is really wicked, isn't that affecting our judgment?"
