Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Earth Becomes Famous
While Lentz was stewing in his worries, Tianluo of the Yuanlan Clan had also completed the first trial.
His overall rank this time was 307th.
He glanced at the names ahead of him. All those geniuses were from within the Yangyuan Empire, and they had always been stronger than him!
’I’m still a little short,’ Tianluo thought. ’I can represent the Yangyuan Star Continent in the finals, but getting into the Eternal Saint Hall will be incredibly difficult unless I have a major breakthrough.’
The Eternal Saint Hall of the Human Race only trained geniuses who were expected to become Deities at a minimum, so they accepted very few people.
The entire Yangyuan Star Continent might not even have a single person accepted, to say nothing of Tianluo, who was currently ranked over 300th.
Just then, Jin Mola suddenly arrived to see him, looking extremely anxious.
"What is it?"
Tianluo asked, looking at Jin Mola.
Jin Mola’s expression was one of clear panic. He looked at Tianluo and said hurriedly, "Young Master Tianluo, Li Yang from Earth is now ranked 1st in the Golden Moon Empire and 9,910th overall in the Yangyuan Star Continent."
He delivered his report to Tianluo with haste.
He was truly panicking.
He had also participated in the selection for the Eternal Saint Hall of the Human Race and had stepped onto the Path to Deities Stairway.
He hadn’t expected to pass the first trial, but he had still gained many benefits from the Path to Deities.
Although he was a member of the Yuanlan Clan, his status was very low, and the cultivation resources he received were scarce—nowhere near the rewards he had reaped on the Path to Deities.
However, after leaving the Path to Deities Stairway, he barely had a moment to celebrate his five years of gains before receiving some ’earth-shattering bad news’ from Elder Qi, Baluka.
Previously, Earth had been as weak as an ant in his eyes. He had been constantly plotting against it, and even after it became a free planet, he had roped in Young Master Tianluo to help him annihilate it.
He had thought Earth wouldn’t stand a chance, but now, Li Yang—a young man he had completely overlooked—had revealed such terrifying Talent!
Ranked in the top 10,000 of the entire Yangyuan Star Continent—what did that even mean?
It meant that as long as Li Yang didn’t fall prematurely, he was guaranteed to become a Star Lord, a World Lord!
He was merely at the Law Realm and would struggle to even reach the Longevity Realm. Once Li Yang grew powerful, what fate would await him?
Even if Li Yang’s current strength was still low, countless powerful factions surely had their eyes on him now.
Hearing Jin Mola’s words, Tianluo’s calm expression changed drastically.
"What did you say? Li Yang is ranked somewhere in the nine-thousands for the Yangyuan Star Continent?"
His expression shifted. With a wave of his right hand, rows of rankings instantly appeared before him.
Previously, he had only paid attention to the top 500 ranks and couldn’t have cared less about those that followed, let alone anyone ranked past 9,000.
A quick scan confirmed it. Tianluo saw the name: Li Yang, Milky Way Galaxy.
His face fell, and his gaze flickered, his thoughts impossible to read.
"Young Master Tianluo..." Jin Mola began, unable to stop himself.
He was truly terrified now.
Putting aside all else, just being able to rank in the top 10,000 of the Yangyuan Star Continent meant one’s strength was, at a minimum, approaching the Mid-Longevity Realm!
Someone with that kind of power could kill him in an instant!
Li Yang, the man he once viewed as nothing more than an ant, had actually reached such a level.
Tianluo stared at Li Yang’s ranking for more than ten seconds. After a long pause, he finally said, "I understand."
Seeing the look on his face, Jin Mola wanted to ask more, but he ultimately didn’t dare. He could only depart with a heart full of trepidation.
...
"Come on, Xiaodong. Daddy will teach you this move."
Back on Earth, Li Yang was enjoying the rare sensation of being a father.
The trial on the Path to Deities had lasted five years. His child hadn’t even been born when he started. By the time it was over, his son was already more than four years old.
He was determined to make it up to them.
More importantly, after five straight years of cultivation, he felt a deep exhaustion the moment it ended—a fatigue of the soul.
So, he was taking a rare opportunity to rest and recalibrate.
Zhou Yao walked over, gave him a look, and said, "Li Yang, our son is only four, and you’re already teaching him how to cultivate."
Li Yang laughed. "But Xiaodong likes it, doesn’t he..."
He was enjoying a rare break on Earth, but Li Yang was no longer an unknown. He might have wanted to rest, but other people had different plans.
Powerful factions were constantly arriving on Earth, one Cosmic Flying Vehicle after another appearing in the skies above.
"So many ships!"
"I’ve only been here for a few hours, and I’ve already seen dozens of ships."
"The people in those ships must all be here for Li Yang."
"That’s right. I looked it up. There are hundreds of millions of galaxies like our Milky Way in the Yangyuan Star Continent. Among all the Law Realm cultivators from those galaxies, Li Yang ranked in the top 10,000! With that kind of Talent, he could even become a World Lord with a one-million-year lifespan!"
"Our Milky Way Galaxy has hundreds of thousands of inhabited planets, and yet there are fewer than ten World Lords in total."
...
Seeing the ships continuously descending on Earth, the planet’s inhabitants were filled with excitement.
Normally, who would ever bother visiting a remote, backward place like Planet Zero?
Even after Earth had made full contact with the Cosmos, very few aliens ever visited.
But now, aliens were arriving in droves. They all faintly emanated terrifying auras, marking them as top-tier powerhouses who could probably destroy Earth with ease.
And yet, these supreme experts were all smiling, treating the weak people of Earth with courtesy and even politely asking for Li Yang’s address.
How could this not fill them with pride and excitement?
...
"So many people."
Back at his home, Li Yang felt rather helpless.
Lately, far too many people had come to Earth wanting to meet him.
The main issue was that his rank was so high, it naturally drew the attention of countless factions. And when they looked into him, they discovered that aside from his affiliation with the Milky Way Galaxy’s branch of the Human Race Saint Hall, he hadn’t joined any other major power.
The Milky Way Galaxy branch of the Human Race Saint Hall had a very relaxed approach to training geniuses. It had few internal members; most, like Li Yang, were external. These external members were free to join other factions, so naturally, all these powerful groups had ideas of their own.
Even if they could only get Li Yang to join as an affiliate, the benefits would be enormous once he matured.
Geniuses were always in high demand.
With the Talent Li Yang had demonstrated, he was very likely to become a World Lord in the future!
"Haha, Li Yang! Now that you’ve revealed such immense Talent, it’s only natural that many factions want to recruit you," said a burly, three-meter-tall man. His skin was completely purple, and his face was covered in what looked like fish scales.
From his appearance, it was none other than Candy, the Deputy Head of the Milky Way Galaxy’s branch of the Human Race Saint Hall—the very same person who had once descended upon Earth to declare it a free planet.
