"The Heavenly Ranking? Why is it opened at this time?"
High above the heavens, the Heavenly Ranking slowly unfolded, instantly drawing auspicious clouds to envelop it.
Shen Zhao looked up at the starry sky and immediately frowned.
The opening time of the Heavenly Ranking has been advanced, which is not a good thing for the entire Xianwu Continent.
On the contrary, it will only attract endless slaughter from all sides of the Nine Realms.
"Shen Zhao, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Shen Zhao's expression was strange, Jiang Qingluan tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Shen Zhao turned around and said, "Qingluan, you should know what the opening of the Heavenly Ranking means, right?"
Jiang Qingluan nodded: "It means that the entire Nine Realms will be filled with endless killing in the next year.
Countries will fight against each other, and sects will also start fighting each other.
In the end, it is only the hardworking, innocent people who suffer.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying was puzzled: "Sister Jiang, is this Heavenly Ranking really that terrifying?"
Shen Zhao sighed and said, "What's terrifying isn't the Heavenly Ranking itself, but the human heart."
When the Heavenly Rankings are activated, the 100 strongest figures, forces, sects, and divine weapons from the Nine Realms Continent over the past century will appear on various lists.
Those who make the list will undoubtedly receive a boost of good fortune, while those who are not on the list, especially the ambitious ones, will certainly seize this opportunity to find ways to get themselves on it.
If you want to make it onto the list, there's only one way: join this game of jungle law.
The strong must hide themselves to maintain their rank, and the weak can only choose to form alliances to hunt down the strong if they want to stand out.
Behind every opening of the Heavenly Ranking lies a bloody shift in order; this is the so-called balance.
Su Yunying: "I understand."
Jiang Qingluan sighed, "I don't know how many lives will be lost when the Heavenly Ranking opens this time."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Shen Zhao.
In the previous life, after the Heavenly Ranking was opened, Shen Zhao led the Po Jun Mansion to conquer twenty-two countries and annex forty-six large and small forces in a year with lightning speed, making everyone's attention turn to the Po Jun Mansion and the Dayin Dynasty.
She had initially thought that Shen Zhao was only doing this to please Yu Xiyan, but now she realized that this man was using another extreme method to minimize the casualties and damage caused by the opening of the Heavenly Ranking.
Therefore, Su Yunying at that time could not feel how tragic the game was. She only knew that the man in front of her was carrying the burden and bringing peace and tranquility to everyone.
In the previous life, the Heavenly Ranking did not cause any conflict among the Nine Realms at all. All the efforts were focused on studying how to deal with the Pojun Mansion.
As a result, even after the Heavenly Ranking disappeared, no way to counter Po Jun Mansion and Shen Zhao was found.
Shen Zhao rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
After a long time, he snorted softly and looked up at the sky: "It doesn't matter, it's just one more time.
Even if the Heavenly Rankings were activated now, I could still make sure you leave empty-handed.
...
In the direction of the Northern Territory, the divine fortune teller was shocked when he saw the Heavenly Ranking opened.
He calculated with his fingers: "So that's how it is. Song Yanran's breakthrough to the Ascension Realm caused an imbalance in the rules, and the Heavenly Ranking was opened five years ahead of schedule by the Daoist lineage. No way."
I must inform Yunying that she must hide herself no matter what and absolutely not get involved in this pointless struggle.
Just when the fortune teller was about to take off, a sudden powerful pressure from the air pushed him to his knees.
The next moment, the system transformed into the appearance of a child and quietly appeared in front of him.
"you……"
Upon seeing the system, the fortune teller's face turned ashen.
What are you going to do?
The system took a step forward and stared at him with cold eyes.
"The Way of Heaven has its own rules. Do you intend to violate the laws and regulations established by the Great Way?"
Upon hearing this, the fortune teller clenched his fists and said, "To say that you violated the rules is far from your behavior.
You have manipulated the fates of too many people. As one of the original source, don't you feel despicable?
Why did you open the Heavenly Rankings ahead of schedule? What exactly are you trying to do?
"How could the Daotong violate the rules? I was just taking advantage of a loophole in the rules."
"Enough, stop now. Even without the physical body of the Great Dao Origin, you are already the Ancestor of All Daos. What more could you want?"
"Hehehe, that's really superficial."
The system walked up behind the fortune teller.
"The rules you have established have long been rotten. My goal in becoming the master of the Great Dao is to break this old order.
In my plan, I will create a world where all beings are truly equal.
All divine power will vanish without a trace; there will be no more deceit, no more hunger or cold, and no more greed or desire.
All living things are self-sufficient; their needs can be met as long as they are provided for for one day.
By then, all the worlds will usher in true peace, and there will be no injustice or corruption forever.
And you bunch of self-proclaimed Heavenly Dao beings have no reason to continue existing; you should go into the ancient texts to find traces of your existence.”
The fortune teller shook his head and said: "If we really do as you say, the world built with your new rules will always be ignorant and foolish.
It is true that human nature is full of greed and desire, but it is also because of this that people will pursue their own dreams and the world will progress.
If we establish your ideal order, then what's the difference between them and the walking dead?
"The Great Way says that non-action is the ultimate principle. Eliminating greed, eliminating corruption, and extinguishing desires—this is the true meaning of the Great Way!"
"The Great Dao is nature, and inaction does not mean inaction. You have misinterpreted the original meaning of the Great Dao and will only drag all the heavens and worlds into an eternal hell!"
"Enough! I'm not here to argue with you. I'm just here to inform you that those who break the rules will be severely punished!"
