At the same time, at the end of the world, there was another world.

A terrifying figure lay across the starry sky, ancient and eternal. His mere presence dwarfed countless star fields, and his dark eyes watched the images of the heavens and myriad worlds unfold.

"Emperor Refinement..."

He murmured. His voice shook both past and present, rippling in every direction, resonating across the boundless darkness of the universe.

Around him, several awe-inspiring figures sensed his mental fluctuations and instinctively retreated by hundreds of billions of trillions of distances.

"Is it you who will battle me across the years?"

He spoke again, voice unwavering and devoid of emotion.

"Lord Immortal Emperor, what are your commands?"

The beings who had withdrawn respectfully asked from afar.

The terrifying figure did not respond at once. After a moment's silence, he finally said,

"Don't be hasty. This ranking of the heavens and myriad worlds is quite intriguing. Let's watch for now."

"Yes, my Lord."

The ancient and dark world fell into silence once again.

At that moment, as the great world of Shrouding the Heavens completed its ranking reveal, the sixth-ranked world began to emerge.

Although the introduction hadn't officially begun, the comment section below the ranking had already exploded with discussion.

"I wonder if the sixth-ranked world is where Emperor Lian comes from. I can't wait!"

"Yes, yes! That's all I care about! Just give me more of Emperor Lian!"

"The Great Emperor in Shrouding the Heavens is called an emperor, and Emperor Refinement is also an emperor, yet the difference is like night and day."

"This just proves how vast the difference between the two worlds is! I'm burning with curiosity to see the world Emperor Lian came from!"

"You think this sixth-ranked world is where Emperor Lian originates?"

Countless people across the heavens speculated. All were eager to see Shen Lian's homeworld, curious about the origin and growth of such a fearsome figure.

Just as the strongest across the realms waited with bated breath, the golden road swept across the void, releasing the ancient immortal rankings of the heavens and began playing a new scene.

As always, the screen was pitch black at first.

A slightly hoarse voice echoed slowly.

I am but mortal dust, yet my heart longs for the heavens.

In my mind, I wish for peace, for freedom, and for my destiny to be my own.

When I close my eyes for the final time, I do not want regret—no shame for not striving harder.

The screen began to glow gradually.

In a training room, a young man with a short crew cut relentlessly punched a power-testing machine.

800!

867 pounds!

973 pounds!!

764 pounds!!

The sweat-drenched boy with the cropped hair kept striking, achieving figures that would make his peers proud. Yet, his brow remained furrowed.

"Luo Feng, wanna get milk tea?"

A girl's voice called from outside the practice room.

"No, you go ahead."

Luo Feng shook his head and resumed punching.

"No! If I can't break a thousand pounds, I can't become a Practitioner! Just a bit more strength! Come on, I can do it!"

Luo Feng took a deep breath. A spark of confidence reignited in his eyes.

Watching this scene, many powerhouses across the myriad worlds frowned.

"Wait, this... this can't be Emperor Lian's world, right?"

"This world seems ridiculously weak!"

"What's this? The autobiography of an insect?"

"Seriously? This is ranked sixth? Something must be off."

"I wouldn't even rank this world in the bottom six, let alone top ten."

"This Luo Feng... is he the protagonist? He's far too weak!"

Complaints spread like wildfire among the heavenly powerhouses. Some even questioned the credibility of the ranking itself.

Compared to previous openings—the Lord of All Demons in the World of Gods and Demons, who wielded billions of creatures as soldiers and millions of gods and demons as generals to defy the Heavenly Dao; Wang Nixian from the Central Immortal Domain, who reversed timelines and unified past, present, and future; Yang Tianqi, who forged his own path through raw power, slaying gods and Buddhas alike; and the Shrouding the Heavens world, where ancient emperors bathed the universe in blood—

This sixth-ranked world seemed utterly unimpressive in contrast.

Frieza, who had recently made a public apology, took this opportunity to leap back into the spotlight.

"Hahaha! This made me laugh! This ranks top ten? How are we supposed to feel? So this Luo Feng is the main character? Please! I, King Frieza, could erase this entire world with a flick of my finger! (And by the way, long live Emperor Lian!)" — Universe Emperor Frieza

Frieza had been quiet for a while, hiding in the background as stronger figures took center stage. But seeing how weak this world appeared, he couldn't help jumping out again. Now that the storm had passed, he figured it was safe to brag again.

Just as the mockery reached its peak—

"Heh. Erased with one finger? You? Not even close." — Luo Feng, Master of Hongmeng Palace

At that very moment, Luo Feng, watching the rankings from within the Hongmeng Palace, saw his own past being broadcast.

He felt proud. After all, to be ranked among the heavens meant he had become one of the pinnacle existences across all worlds.

But then he saw Frieza's comment—and it disgusted him like swallowing a fly.

This same Frieza who had been groveling before Emperor Lian only moments ago, now dared step on Luo Feng to boost his own ego. A typical bully, licking the strong and mocking the weak.

"Oh, the main character speaks! Luo Feng, huh? What? I say I could crush you and you still won't admit it?" — Universe Emperor Frieza

Seeing the provoking barrage, Luo Feng narrowed his eyes. A cold gleam flickered in his gaze.

He hated that he didn't yet have the ability to cross realms like Emperor Lian. If he could, he'd show Frieza exactly what it meant to be the Master of Hongmeng Palace. Show him why this world stood ranked sixth!

Then he shook his head, choosing not to argue in the comment section.

"Hmph. Never argue with fools." — Luo Feng, Lord of Hongmeng Palace

After posting this brief message, Luo Feng fell silent. Inwardly, he sneered coldly and waited for the Golden List to reach the moment when he truly became the Hongmeng Palace Master.

Only then, he thought, would all those so-called heavenly powerhouses—and that loudmouth Frieza—understand exactly what they were dealing with.
