It was a restless day in the Great Hongmeng Universe.
As the unusual phenomenon in the sky shrouded the entire world, all the cultivators were captivated. Even the cultivators who had never heard of the Hongmeng Leaderboard knew something big was coming.
Those who knew were more curious than ever.
Everyone wondered what the first leaderboard would be.
Hongmeng spiritual qi rumbled in the sky as if something was brewing in the clouds.
The mysterious and mystical energy was captivating.
"This day has finally arrived."
Back in the Holy Radiant Church, the Radiant Goddess looked at the Hongmeng spiritual qi, which was manifesting the leaderboard, with utmost anticipation.
Next to her, Ming Fei was extra curious as well. "Goddess, do you think the Child of Light can make it into the top ten?"
"It depends on what leaderboard it is," the Radiant Goddess said.
Suddenly, the Hongmeng spiritual qi in the sky started to compress and form a massive violet ball of light.
The ball of light was as big as the sun as it floated in the sky.
Countless runes swirled around it.
At the top of the ball of light were words — Primordial Leaderboard.
'Primordial Leaderboard?'
The Radiant Goddess' eyes gleamed.
"The first leaderboard is the Primordial Leaderboard, which means it ranks how strong the Primordials are. The Child of Light just went through the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation. There's a high chance he might rank in the top ten."
"I wonder if Lan Yu is on the leaderboard," Ming Fei muttered.
The Radiant Goddess chuckled at Ming Fei's words. "You seem to care a lot about your student. That's rare."
Other than herself, Ming Fei rarely showed concern for anyone.
She was not even moved by her colleague, the Radiant Left Sky King, who had pursued her for millions of years and used almost every possible method.
Now, Ming Fei was concerned about her student, which surprised the Radiant Goddess.
"I'm raising Lan Yu as my successor, so of course, I have to be concerned," Ming Fei said.
Then, the two concentrated on the Hongmeng Leaderboard.
More words appeared on the leaderboard.
The Primordial Leaderboard contained the names of a thousand Primordials, and they were ranked according to their strength.
Names started to appear on the ball of light.
The cultivators of the Great Hongmeng Universe started to understand the use of the Hongmeng Leaderboard, so everyone paid full attention to the names it revealed.
"There are countless Primordials across the Infiniverse, but the Hongmeng Leaderboard has only listed a thousand. It seems like these one thousand Primordials are the best of the best."
"The leaderboard is getting interesting."
"I wonder if there are any rewards for being listed on the leaderboard."
A heated discussion sparked among the cultivators.
Names started to appear on the Primordial Leaderboard.
In the thousandth place was Yun Ze from Thunder Dragon Universe.
In the nine-hundred ninety-ninth place was Yao Tian from the Yao Feng Universe.
In the nine-hundred ninety-eighth place...
Somewhere in the Great Hongmeng Universe, a large group of cultivators gathered to watch the appearing names on the ball of light.
One of them emanated a mystical aura that would easily capture attention.
"This aura… Is it the fortune?"
"Such a strong fortune energy."
"How could someone possess such strong fortune energy?"
"I know him. He's Yao Tian!"
Someone cried in shock.
When the cultivators heard it, they all looked at the Primordial Leaderboard.
The man was Yao Tian, the nine-hundred ninety-ninth place.
"Now I see! Being listed on the leaderboard will bless one's fortune!"
Someone finally realized the perk of being listed on the leaderboard.
Everyone was intrigued after learning the fact.
Fortune was something auspicious, especially the fortune of the Great Hongmeng Universe.
Meanwhile, another stronger fortune energy burst further away.
It was from a cultivator ranked in the eight-hundredth range.
The higher the ranking, the more fortune one would get.
The others who were not listed were jealous when they saw the blessing.
Nevertheless, the ranking continued.
In the six-hundred and sixty-sixth place was Lan Yu from the Pan Gu Universe.
Back in the Holy Radiant Church, a mystical fortune energy erupted.
Lan Yu, who was cultivating, was confused when she felt the sudden blessing.
"What's going on?"
She felt that her cultivation had gotten smoother and easier.
"Don't worry. It's the blessing of fortune."
Ming Fei's voice echoed in her ears.
She sounded happy and satisfied.
Only after she received words from her master did Lan Yu rest her uneasy heart.
"I've been listed on the Primordial Leaderboard? What about aster?"
With that in mind, her eyes widened and gleamed.
She, too, paid close attention to the leaderboard.
When the Radiant Goddess saw Lan Yu's name on the leaderboard, she also nodded in satisfaction.
"She's only in the Primordial Mystic Five Realm, yet her name is on the leaderboard. Maybe you're right. She might become your successor."
"Let's hope so." Ming Fei smiled with utmost anticipation.
Back in Myriad Arms City, Chu Kuangren was looking at the leaderboard as well.
When he saw Lan Yu's name on the leaderboard, his eyes widened. "Lan Yu is here in the Great Hongmeng Universe."
On second thought, it was not surprising.
Lan Yu disliked being alone, and it was only normal for her to continue her cultivation in the Great Hongmeng Universe.
Then, Chu Kuangren spotted a couple more familiar names on the leaderboard.
In the three-hundred thirty-first place was Papiyas from the Pan Gu Universe.
In the two-hundred twentieth place was Cundi from the Pan Gu Universe.
In the two-hundred nineteenth place was Receiva from the Pan Gu Universe.
In the one-hundred and twenty-first place was the West Ruler Matriarch from the Pan Gu Universe.
In the fifty-first place was Luo Hou from the Pan Gu Universe.
All the names were familiar to Chu Kuangren. The names that had appeared on the leaderboard were all ancient beings of the Pan Gu Universe.
They were powerful beings themselves and were capable of making a name for themselves in the Infiniverse.
People then started to pay attention to the Pan Gu Universe.
Compared to the other universes, Pan Gu Universe appeared frequently on the leaderboard.
"A lot of them from the Pan Gu Universe have been listed on the leaderboard."
"What universe is that?"
"It's really a universe with an abundance of talents."
Chu Kuangren could not help but chuckle as well.
"Not bad. They might still be Primordials, but to rank so high on the leaderboard states their potential. They will be a great help to me when I reign over the Great Hongmeng Universe."
However, for someone as hostile as Lou Hou, it would be better for him to remove the threat as soon as possible.
In eleventh place was Liu Feng of the Luo Tian Universe.
In tenth place was Shi Long from Time Universe.
Soon, the names of the top ten started to appear.
Chu Kuangren was rather surprised because some names he expected were not on the leaderboard.
"Cundi, Receive, Nuwa, and the others were on the leaderboard, so where's Li Jun?"
He had high hopes for three particular people.
The first would be Master Daoist Yang Mei.
He had lived for eons and was experienced.
The second would be Armament Disaster because the latter was his clone.
The third would be Li Jun.
Li Jun was the leader of the Three Clarities during ancient times, and his insights into the Dao rivaled that of the Daoist Progenitor.
Both his junior brothers, the Heavenly Grandmaster and Divine Primeval Imperial, ranked at seventy-first and seventy-second respectively.
Where was Li Jun's name not on the leaderboard?
There were three possibilities.
One was that Li Jun had fallen.
The second was that Li Jun had broken through to the Grand Dao Realm.
The third was that Li Jun was ranked in the top ten.
Chu Kuangren pondered as he continued to pay attention to the rankings.
The top ten of the leaderboard were revealed one by one, and it captured all the attention in the world.
