Chapter 84

"I must rise! I must rise!"

……

"How could this happen? We spent such a great price…"

"How come we didn't even make the top 5000?"

"Sigh, the elf race has truly declined."

In the Elf World,

the Elf Empress gazed at the elders in the palace, all sighing in despair.

Her expression was complex,

the elf race had so many prodigies, yet not one entered the top 5000.

"Grand Elder, how are our human allies faring?" she asked.

"Not promising… based on their reactions, they're likely even worse off than us."

The Elf Grand Elder bowed his head in reply.

The Elf Empress's delicate brows furrowed even deeper.

She knew the human race had spent enormous resources this time.

Reincarnation Weight, acquiring cybernetic tech from the Machine Clan, seeking magic knowledge from the Crimson Demon Clan…

And yet, not a single one secured a good rank?

If we lose the Ten Thousand Races Ranking War, and remain mediocre for another thousand years… how can there be any talk of rising again?

"If… that my lord were still alive…"

The Elf Empress's eyes filled with sorrow.

If he were still here, how could the elves and humans have declined?

……

In the Human Main Universe,

the atmosphere in the Taiqing Palace was suffocatingly heavy.

Among the thousand people present, not a single one spoke.

"Xia Tianxuan… ranked 5060th."

The white-haired elder's voice was hoarse.

"Cybernetic EX-01… ranked 6351st."

"Magic Sacred Body… ranked 6389th."

"Superpower Girl… ranked 7120th."

"Wu Zi… ranked 9860th."

Each round-table elder slowly named the hopes their civilization had cultivated.

Their voices were low.

They had never imagined—

not just the top hundred, not even the top thousand—

their human race's top contender, Xia Tianxuan, was behind 5000th place!

Have these ten thousand races and clans grown this powerful?!

"Damn it, there are three more monsters who passed the 'Calamity-Level' trial!"

The bald elder muttered under his breath.

"This is insane—how strong must you be to survive the Calamity-Level monster surge?"

The hat-wearing elder joined in the curses.

The selection of the Ten Thousand Realm Lords

must be among the new generation,

must possess growth potential.

It's impossible to send a seasoned warrior, to equip external power, and become a new lord.

"Bah, it's just a monster surge ranking—what's the big deal?"

"This isn't the final result of the Ten Thousand Races Ranking War."

The white-haired elder spoke to calm everyone.

Though Xia Tianxuan's rank was disappointing, at least it was higher than the hopes cultivated by the other four civilizations.

That brought him some comfort.

He looked around at the others in the hall and asked, "Do any of you have someone with a higher rank?"

"No."

The human elders all shook their heads.

The oppressive atmosphere in the hall eased slightly.

"The second and third places must be the Crimson Demon Clan and the Angel Clan."

"But… what's going on with the first place?"

"Never Fallen? Why such a strange name?"

"Didn't his race or clan tell him how to name himself…"

Everyone began whispering among themselves.

The five round-table elders also looked puzzled.

"Could it be the Mechanical Race?" the old man with the mechanical eye asked, puzzled.

"The Mechanical Race? With their arrogance, if they claimed first place, they would be eager to visit every universe to spread the news."

The old man with white hair shook his head and said.

At this moment, the old man with three eyes, representing the Superpower Civilization, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Could it be that this person was not cultivated by a racial faction?"

"Judging by his territory's name, he is very likely a nobody."

"A nobody? Can a nobody resist a 'Calamity-Class' monster tide?" the bald old man widened his eyes.

To resist a 'Calamity-Class' monster tide relying solely on seven days of territory construction is nothing but a pipe dream.

Therefore, it must be relying on the Lord's own power.

A person capable of suppressing all races must be an unparalleled genius!

"Sigh, in any case, such a person has nothing to do with us."

"Let them fight it out."

The old man with white hair shook his head and asked:

"What is the situation with the Elf Race?"

"It is not optimistic. The Elf Princess born from the World Tree ranks 5320th."
