If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

puppet?

"You mean, the people of the Eternal Palace can turn those who oppose them, or even reject them, into puppets who obey their orders?" Chen Chang'an asked, frowning.

"more or less."

"The methods are terrifying."

"I don't know how they did it. Suddenly, the person who spoke rudely to the Eternal Palace had empty eyes and then became completely obedient to the people of the Eternal Palace."

"This matter has already caused panic in Eternal City. Although it is not murder, being a walking corpse is not much better than death."

Zhang Sanpao was still shaken and even dared not think about what would happen if he became a puppet.

According to Zhang Sanpao's description, the methods of the Eternal Palace are terrifying; they can turn a person into a puppet without even others realizing how they did it.

Such methods are indeed very intimidating in the Eternal Land.

The people of the Eternal Land have always felt a great deal of superiority because they can live forever and never die.

But the more this is the case, the more afraid they become of death, and even of everything related to death.

A puppet—this is definitely an ending they don't want to see.

"No wonder the people of the Eternal Palace are so arrogant."

"Even the three hidden sects have to avoid its sharp edge. Such methods are indeed frightening."

"What's the situation outside now?"

"How many forces have chosen to submit to the Eternal Temple?"

"How is the Zhang family doing?" Chen Chang'an asked, frowning.

"Many forces have chosen to submit. There's no other way. If they don't submit, they'll just become puppets, and in the end, the result will be the same."

"Currently, the three hidden sects have not made a statement, and the Shi family alliance seems to be still hesitant. In addition to these four forces, there is another force, an alliance led by the Tao family."

"As for our Zhang family, we are also in a somewhat awkward situation now."

"As an enforcer of the Eternal Ranking, I have no way to deal with the Eternal Palace. To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing."

"This is so embarrassing," Zhang Sanpao said helplessly.

Tao family?

This was the first time Chen Chang'an had heard of this family, and he was surprised to find that they were quite assertive and had not yet made a statement.

"Your Zhang family is indeed in a rather awkward situation right now."

"They are clearly the enforcers of the Eternal Ranking, yet the Eternal Palace has usurped their position."

“In this way, the number of forces will be greatly reduced,” Chen Chang’an said with a frown.

"Idol, what should we do now?"

"Our Qibao Pavilion hasn't made any statement either; in fact, we haven't even shown our faces."

"Pretend you don't know?"

"Should we try to find a way to deal with this?" Zhang Sanpao asked nervously.

After hearing Zhang Sanpao's words, Chen Chang'an pondered for a moment and then said, "They haven't asked us what to say."

"Wait, there's no need to actively seek them out now."

"As for your Zhang family, tell your father to also remain calm and observe the situation."

"okay, I get it."

After Zhang Sanpao left, Chen Chang'an frowned slightly and began to think carefully.

"What? Are you worried?" Mu Yunyao asked with a smile.

"I'm not worried, but I didn't expect the hidden forces to be so capable. But that makes it more interesting."

"Otherwise, there would be no challenge at all."

"I always thought it was the Outsiders Alliance that would cause trouble, but I never expected it to be this Eternal Temple."

"Give the order that our people should not go out for the time being."

"Wait for the Eternal Ranking to open."

"However, we're getting closer and closer to the Eternal Ranking, but why hasn't the Zhang family released any information about the Power Ranking yet?"

This time, the situation with the Eternal Ranking is indeed somewhat unusual; it seems that no news will be released until the day it opens.

Even the Zhang family, as the executors, did not receive any instructions.

However, the people of the Eternal Palace suddenly became quiet, and did not cause any trouble for anyone afterward, nor did they continue to forcefully demand that people submit.

The members of the Outsider Alliance did not appear in Eternal City until a month before the Eternal Ranking was opened.

The number of people who came was not large, but it was not small either, nearly a thousand people, and they were all elites.

It has to be said that the size of the Outsider Alliance has exceeded many people's expectations. After all, no one would have thought that the Outsider Alliance would have so many powerful outsiders.

Although the Outsiders Alliance is an anomaly, now, because of the Eternal Palace, everyone has started to keep a low profile, seemingly wanting to remain peaceful until the Eternal Ranking opens.

As the opening of the Eternal Ranking draws ever closer, the entire Eternal City is gripped by a tense atmosphere.

Everyone waited quietly, wondering in what form the Eternal Ranking would appear.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The moment the sound, like war drums, echoed from the sky above the Eternal Land, it instantly drew everyone's attention.

The thumping sound struck the heart of everyone, making them feel their blood boil.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a golden light spreading across the sky along with the sound of war drums.

Just as everyone was focused on the event, suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Eternal City.

The powerful golden light caused everyone's vision to go black. Even the peak Emperor Realm experts had their vision blurred and could not see anything clearly at this moment.

Once everyone's vision returned to normal, a golden list was seen floating in the sky above Eternal City.

Power Ranking!

"The rules have been established."

"Unexpectedly, the rules this time were released along with the rankings. No wonder the Zhang family didn't have any news. It seems they didn't know either."

"Why does this Zhang family seem to have become just a decoration this time?"

"Yes, there's absolutely no sense of involvement from those carrying out the tasks."

"Of course they did! They built Eternal City, didn't they? So it seems the Zhang family is just a bunch of workers serving the Eternal Ranking."

"Tch, I overestimated them before."

"Who says otherwise? If we had known it would turn out this way, why did we give the Zhang family so much face in the first place?"

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now. Let's look at the rules instead."

While everyone was discussing, their eyes were also fixed on the power ranking floating in the air, and the rules displayed below it.

The rules for the power ranking are as follows:

Once the power rankings are activated, all participating forces will enter the battlefield to compete for the power rankings.

There are ten spots on the power ranking.

The battle rules will be distributed simultaneously upon entering the battlefield!

battlefield?

Upon seeing the rules of the power ranking, everyone was taken aback. They knew that the battles on the power ranking could be fierce, but they didn't expect that they would need to enter the power ranking battlefield.

"This...is this going to be a fight to the death?"
