The rankings are monuments, and the myriad races are enemies. In this world, strength reigns supreme.
Su Ye transmigrates to a fantasy continent and becomes one of countless Lords. While others struggle to survive, he awakens the [Hongmeng Dao Seed], which lets him perceive the origins of all things and deduce the fundamental truths of the world.
And so...
He plants spirit grain, whose ears hold the intent of the sword. Anyone who eats it can attain enlightenment.
He teaches cultivation techniques, restoring incomplete ancient manuals and turning refugees into cultivators.
He imbues ordinary iron with spiritual essence. Rusty swords gain a spark of spirit, and when they emerge, all weapons ring in answer.
The Heavenly Dao rankings appear in the sky. The great powers contend, and the world is swept up in turmoil.
On the [Individual Power Rankings], prodigies from the myriad worlds shatter the void as they fight for the top spot.
On the [Overall Territory Rankings], ancient divine dynasties use their unfathomable foundations to suppress all beneath heaven.
On the [Rare Treasures Rankings], innate treasures unleash a storm of bloodshed.
Everyone believes this is a brutal game of competing for inheritances and seizing fortune.
Until one day, Su Ye and his unassuming territory quietly claim the top spot on every ranking.
The gods and demons of the heavens join forces to attack, only to see, above that tiny frontier land:
A Green Chaos Lotus swaying as it opens up a world of its own.
Mountains and rivers rising and falling, suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The people's undying flame burning bright, illuminating the past, present, and future.
Su Ye stands at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Dao, with the mighty river of civilization surging forward behind him.
He looks down at his horrified enemies and speaks calmly, his voice resounding throughout the heavens:
“Who told you... I was competing for a spot in the rankings?”
“I am simply creating a new Heavenly Dao for this world.”
I read Chapter 3 to persuade me to quit. In Chapter 1, the first day of time travel, there are still 6 days left for the first list to be announced. Chapter 3, at dawn the second day of time travel, the first list is announced. The protagonist relies on his awesomeness to coax Hongmeng's name Goldfinger, and gets beaten countless times in just one day. The protagonist in the middle stage of the air travel is almost single-handedly killed by a viper who relies on speed, and finally manages to be at the bottom of the list.
Where is the lord? I haven't seen any Lord stories since Chapter 20.
