Douluo Continent: Breaking the Million-Year Barrier, the Golden Ranking Exposes Me

Chapter 19, Part 1: Gods?
[The Douluo Continent Human Soul Master Power Ranking, Number One: Tang Hao!]

When this name, accompanied by a magnificent and resounding voice that seemed to resonate with the heavens and earth, echoed through the sky, the entire Douluo Continent fell into an instant of absolute silence.

At the very top of the list.

The first row of seats burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light.

The light was not simply gold; it seemed to contain boundless fighting spirit, an indomitable will, and...

A touch of divine majesty that transcends the mortal realm!
A blurry yet incredibly majestic figure floated within it. He seemed to be just standing there casually, yet he exuded an unparalleled domineering aura that could support the heavens and the earth and shatter the stars!

Name: Tang Hao

[Affiliation: None (Living outside the continent, a plane lord, overseeing the plane)]

[Martial Spirit: Clear Sky Hammer]

Soul Power Level: Level 100 and above (exact value cannot be determined)

[Divine Rank: Second-Tier Deity (Specific Divine Roles Concealed)]

[Combat Power Assessment: A once-in-a-century genius of the Haotian Sect, he severely injured the current Pope ten thousand years ago despite not yet reaching his peak strength, demonstrating astonishing combat power. Later, through a fortuitous encounter, he inherited a godhood and ascended to the God Realm. Now, due to a special mission, his true form can briefly descend into the Douluo Continent. His strength has completely transcended the mortal realm; with a single thought, he can manipulate the power of heaven and earth; with a single hammer blow, he can shatter mountains and split seas. He is currently the undisputed strongest being in the Douluo Continent. Below the god level, all are mere ants! Overall assessment: Ranked first!]

[Reward: As he has already reached godhood, regular rewards have little effect on him. Special Grant: Increased stability of his godhood, extended time spent in the Douluo plane, faster recovery of divine power, and the right to use the projection of the divine artifact "Haotian Hammer" (limited to this plane)]

The messages were short, but each one was like a thunderbolt, exploding wildly in the minds of countless living beings!
"Tang... Tang Hao? The Haotian Douluo from ten thousand years ago?!"

"He...he's become a god! A second-level god!!"

"Those at level 100 and above... those below the god level are all ants!!"

"A divine artifact projection...this...this..."

After a brief period of deathly silence came a complete eruption of shock and uproar that swept across the entire continent!
god!
It was a god!

The gods who had disappeared for ten thousand years reappeared before the world in this way.

Moreover, it topped the list with such a powerful momentum!

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

"Pfft!"

Xuanzi plopped back into his chair, the wine gourd in his hand falling to the ground, the wine spilling everywhere without him noticing.

He simply gaped, his eyes glazed over, and muttered, "Senior Tang Hao... after he achieved godhood, he didn't leave Douluo Continent for the God Realm, but stayed on Douluo Continent instead. How could that be?"

"Then why haven't we heard any trace of him in the past ten thousand years?"

This scene deeply moved Xuanzi.

That was a god-level powerhouse, who never expected that he had never gone to the God Realm.

Even their every move might be under his surveillance, how could this not surprise him?
Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the others were also dumbfounded, their minds blank.

They considered countless possibilities: reclusive old monsters, rising stars defying the heavens, even visitors from other worlds.

But I never expected that.

The top spot actually belongs to someone who has long since become a legend and ascended to the realm of gods ten thousand years ago!
A living god!
Moon slowly closed his eyes, a complex smile of relief appearing on his face. He murmured to himself, "It really was him. With him here, this continent won't descend into chaos..."

He clearly knew some inside information, and Tang Hao's appearance, while shocking, brought him and Shrek Academy a sense of relief.

After all, Tang San was once a member of Shrek Academy, and Tang Hao was Tang San's father.

Perhaps when Shrek faces annihilation, they will lend a helping hand. However, Moon has no way of knowing for sure.

These were all just his most idealistic guesses.

After all, gods are high above and may regard mortals as ants.

Old Master Song took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "It would be best to immediately compile all the records about Senior Tang Hao!"

"At the same time, all students and teachers must be restrained from speaking ill of the gods! This is a fortunate thing for our Douluo Continent!"

……

Ontology.

The arrogance and dejection on Du Busi's face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of awe and shock.

He solemnly bowed to Tang Hao's illusory image on the list of successful candidates, saying, "It is indeed His Majesty Haotian, who has already ascended to the divine position. I am completely convinced."

Before a true god, all his pride seemed so ridiculous.

They fight tooth and nail for the top spot on the leaderboard, but aside from the truly god-level powerhouses, who can actually reach the top?
That was a second-level deity, far more powerful than priests or third-level deities. How could they not feel awe?
At the same time, a sense of longing arose in his heart.

How he wished that one day he could also set foot in the realm of gods, a place that no one had ever set foot in for ten thousand years.

But this is just an illusion; no one has become a god in the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years now.

The chances of forging a path solely through one's own talent are extremely slim.

……

Holy Spirit Church Headquarters.

Deathly silence.

Zhongli Wu's gloomy and ugly expression had turned into undisguised fear and paleness. His body trembled slightly as he murmured, "Tang Hao... he actually became a god... and can even descend to another plane... this... how is this possible?!"

On one hand, they were shocked by Tang Hao's strength, and on the other hand, they were worried about whether their Holy Spirit Cult's future plans could be carried out.

After all, Tang Hao is Tang San's father and has a deep connection with Shrek Academy.

Will Tang Hao notice when they destroy Shrek Academy?
Given the opponent's strength as a second-level god, even if their Holy Spirit Cult has a Limit Douluo powerhouse, it is possible that the Holy Spirit Cult will be completely reduced to ashes under his hammer.

How can this accomplish their grand plans for the future and realize his inner ambitions?

All of this stemmed from Zhongli Wu's inner concerns.

The crimson light surrounding Ye Xishui swayed violently, and even the phantom of the semi-divine artifact Blood God Sword seemed to tremble slightly and emit a mournful cry.

All her ambitions and madness were shattered in the face of the eight words, "Below the level of a god, all are but ants."

A second-level deity capable of descending in true form possesses power far beyond what she could contend with using a semi-divine artifact and a slight enhancement!
An unprecedented surge of emotion erupted in Long Xiaoyao's deathly still eyes—an instinctive awe in the face of a higher level of life.

……

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.

Xu Tianran slumped down from his wheelchair and was hurriedly supported by Ju Zi, who said in a very serious tone, "Fall down."

"Gods... There are even gods monitoring the continent! My ambition for conquest..."

Before God, all his ambitions and schemes became a complete joke.
