I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

At this moment, the masters of the four great academies and the four great schools appeared.

Zhu Pingyi, the city lord of Baidi City, was dressed in a magnificent purple-gold python robe, exuding an aura of dominance.

He walked at the front, although his cultivation level was slightly lower than the other eight.

With nine Sovereign Realm experts, all at the late-stage level, the lineup is undeniably powerful.

The nine people paid no attention to the ancient clan, nor did they intend to discuss the matter further.

"Our human race has so many powerful individuals, there's no need to worry about the ancient race." Everyone felt relieved.

"Mysterious Heavenly Son, don't let your personal grudges affect everyone," Zhu Yuanbing said smugly.

"Row."

Shen Ming realized he didn't need to be anxious. This was Baidi City, and even if the ancient clans caused rivers of blood to flow here, it wouldn't concern him.

Seeing him retreat to his original position, Zhu Yuanbing was extremely pleased, as if he had won a battle.

Zhu Ping began by giving a long and detailed opening speech, expressing his gratitude to the cultivators from all regions who had gathered here, especially the academies and schools that had established their training grounds here.

"The Great Luo Palace reflects the World Tree and is a symbol of the Northern Region's fortune. You can use a wisp of primordial essence to ignite the fortune and integrate it into the World Tree, so that the Northern Region's fortune will be as powerful as a dragon."

As he spoke, Zhu Pingyi personally demonstrated, flame-shaped energy appearing in his palm and striking the phantom of the World Tree.

It was clearly an illusion, yet it was absorbed, and then a leaf began to glow and shine, eventually turning golden.

At the same time, golden light shone in Zhu Ping's pupils.

This reminded everyone of the soldiers in Baidi City, whose eyes all shone with golden light. Seeing that the World Tree had more than one golden leaf, they all realized what was happening.

Many people had already received the news and were rushing to ignite their own luck.

"This means that we have bound our fortune to the World Tree, and that we are all people blessed by the World Tree."

"Receiving blessings not only brings flashes of inspiration during spiritual practice, but also allows you to find treasures when you go out."

"Those who come later need more primordial fire to ignite even a single leaf."

Then, a murmur of discussion could be heard from the crowd.

Some who were still hesitant, upon hearing that being slow would mean paying several times the price of those ahead, stopped hesitating altogether, some even burning all their vital essence.

"If something happens to the World Tree, won't our fortunes plummet?"

Some people still raised doubts, and everyone's enthusiasm temporarily subsided, replaced by worry.

Soon, they noticed that the eight Sovereigns from the Central Region all had golden eyes.

"If even the rulers of the Central Region aren't worried, what do we have to worry about?"

In an instant, the crowd became even more frenzied than before.

In the blink of an eye, the World Tree, which was originally lush green, turned golden, shining brightly even in broad daylight.

Shen Ming burned a wisp of primordial essence fire, which was insignificant to him personally. He valued participation and did not expect to increase his luck by relying on external forces.

On the other side of the square, Yunxi felt the frenzied atmosphere, feeling both helpless and fortunate about her choice.

In the previous life, the projection of the World Tree collapsed, and everyone's fortune was lost, along with the entire White Emperor City.

The vast Baidi City has eight Great Walls of Fortune, which are both protective walls and sharp swords that cleave the sky, gathering countless human fortunes.

The projection collapsed, the fortune declined, and the eight city walls crumbled.

The ancient tribes bared their fangs, committing a bloody massacre that left millions of corpses lying in ruins.

When Zhu Yuanbing brought Tuoba Yun out just now, she cursed that stupid woman in her heart.

She considered exposing everything and stopping everyone.

But looking at the current frenzied atmosphere, he knew that no one would believe him and that he would become the target of everyone's criticism.

Yunxi heard a young man from Baidi City shout, "Cultivators from all realms are burning their fortune and throwing it into the World Tree of my Baidi City. How magnificent!"

Yunxi knew that the Central Region Academy and the Academy were there to harvest fortune.

At the last moment, they will reclaim the fortune they have gained countless times over and leave gracefully, completely ignoring the mess left in the Northern Region.

Yunxi looked at the young man; his cultivation was insufficient to ignite the World Tree.

This means that you will not reap any initial benefits, will not have any good fortune accompanying you, and will still have to bear the consequences later.

Yet, his face was full of pride, and Yunxi couldn't help but think of the saying, "There is always something hateful about a pitiful person."

However, Yunxi still burned her primordial fire and injected it into the World Tree, creating golden light in her pupils.

She wanted to get involved herself and change the course of the tragedy.

The World Tree is neither good nor bad in essence; it can indeed boost the luck of those who participate. The problem lies in the fact that the ancient race occupies the top four spots on the Supreme Ranking.

This caused the cultivators in the Central Region to give up, triggering an avalanche.

Yunxi is vying for a top-three spot on the Supreme Ranking!

The Central Region is not on the side of the ancient clans. They are a bunch of people who will not get up early for nothing. As long as there is profit to be made, they will not give up.

In this way, a virtuous cycle is formed, and the ancient tribes will be helpless!

Of course, she couldn't do it alone; she also needed Shen Ming's help.

This is not difficult; Shen Ming's act of standing in her way just now was almost exactly what she wanted to hear.

She didn't even need to discuss it; the two of them were naturally on the same side, sharing an unspoken understanding.

Over there, Zhu Yuanbing looked at the golden light in the eyes of Tuoba Yun and the three Sparrow Clan members, and said smugly, "I told you, with the permission of my White Emperor City, you can complete the registration and compete for the Supreme Ranking."

"The grandeur displayed by Baidi City truly befits the rightful ruler of the Northern Region," Tuoba Yun said.

Zhu Yuanbing was overjoyed and immediately felt that Tuoba Yun was much more pleasing to the eye than Shen Ming.

In terms of appearance, Tuoba Yun had a well-defined face that conformed to human aesthetics.

"Shen Ming was not only rude to me, but also disrespectful to you, Yuan Bing. If I have the chance, whether for your sake or for your own good, I will trample him under my feet." Tuoba Yun saw through her little scheme at a glance, and his deep voice softened.

Zhu Yuanbing smiled brightly and said in a crisp voice, "Then I look forward to Senior Brother Tuoba showing off his skills."

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, the three sparrows exchanged a knowing smile.

At this point, all the necessary procedures have been completed.

Zhu Pingyi finally brought up the issue that everyone was most concerned about!

"Within the Great Luo Palace, there is a small world of its own, containing the legacy left behind by the Great Emperor."

Of course, there are also dangers and trials, depending on your luck and destiny.

In the very center of the Great Luo Domain stands a Great Luo Stone Platform, where the Supreme Ranking will be contested. Wishing everyone great success in their martial arts journey!

After Zhu Ping finished speaking, the main gate of the Daluo Palace finally opened slowly.

Looking inside from the outside, it's pitch black, as if it leads to another world.

The Supreme Realm cultivators who had registered entered one after another.

As soon as Shen Ming took a step, he felt streams of divine sense sweeping towards him.

There is Song Wanjian from the Black and White Academy, Tuoba Yun from the Ancient Clan, a bald monk from Buddhism, and a group of strangers wearing masks.

"So I already have so many enemies. Perfect, I'll settle accounts with them all at once."
