The competition concluded, and the name Binghe instantly spread far and wide.
Across numerous planets, news traveled with visible speed through the network.
Half an hour later.
This information reached the planet Atlante, and upon learning of it, the Seven Kill King was deeply shaken. "What!?"
"General Ye actually secured second place in the planetary grand competition!!"
"This..."
"Gulp, I understand!! I'll pass it on!!"
This transmission cost the Slaughter King no less than ten mid-grade Emperor Crystals to send to planet Atlante, making this piece of information extremely precious.
Upon receiving the message, the Seven Kill King stared ahead blankly, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. "General Ye is truly so strong."
Was he kidding?
The Slaughter King had sent word that before the final battle, Ye Xuan had directly defeated the celestial prodigy Ye Ying of the Qiong Cang Planet with a single move, even knocking him unconscious.
This meant that General Ye's strength was enough to crush ordinary sixth-tier Great Emperors. Even more critical was that General Ye's cultivation had already entered the fifth tier Great Emperor realm!
"This uplifting news must be announced to the entire planet immediately."
With this thought, the Seven Kill King dared not delay and immediately used a special channel for a global announcement.
At the same time, a voice echoed across various parts of planet Atlante.
"Citizens of Atlante, we have an urgent bulletin!"
"Just now, the Slaughter King transmitted a message through a special channel. The Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition has concluded. You might not believe what we're about to tell you: out of tens of millions of planets, our planet Atlante has secured the second-best result, including the Star River Empire's homeworld, the Qiong Cang Planet."
"That's right, you heard correctly. Our planet Atlante has won second place in this Star River Empire planetary ranking competition!"
"And the person who achieved second place is none other than one of Atlante's Eight Generals, General Ye Xuan! This announcement is hereby made!!"
*Whoosh!*
As these words were spoken, the entire populace of Atlante erupted in excitement.
Planet Atlante, a certain restaurant.
"My heavens, what did I just hear!"
"Yeah, are we dreaming? Our planet Atlante actually won second place in the Star River Empire ranking competition!?"
"General Ye, as expected... worthy of being Atlante's pride, magnificent~~"
"Tsk tsk, the youngest general in Atlante's history, achieving second place in the entire Star River Empire. With such talent, it's not impossible for him to surpass Lord Iliev in the future!"
"Heh, that's for sure. Someone like General Ye cannot be confined to our small planet Atlante~~"
...
Within the restaurant, discussions arose endlessly, with countless faces radiating pride and self-satisfaction. Was this a joke?
Tens of millions of planets, and the weakest among them were likely beginner planets, with perhaps tens of thousands of advanced planets. Against such a backdrop, how did General Ye achieve this?
For a time, the entire planet Atlante was engulfed in an unprecedented fervor. Ye Xuan, referred to by them as General Ye, had undoubtedly become everyone's pride.
General Ye's Mansion.
"Pfft~!"
"What, our Lord... actually got second place in the Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition? This..."
Zofi was also stunned by this news. He had heard before how terrifyingly brutal the Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition was. He understood all too well what it meant for Ye Xuan to secure second place.
"My heavens, Master is so amazing!!"
Mu Ling'er licked her lips, completely unable to believe what she had heard. "Second place in the Star River Empire planetary ranking competition, Master is too awesome!"
"That guy..."
Luo Tianyi, hearing the announcement echoing in the sky, was also astonished, clearly not expecting her man to be so outstanding.
Initially, she had been amazed that her man could become a general of Atlante. Now, he was famous throughout the Star River Empire. Would that guy ultimately have to protect everyone alone?
"Wow, Daddy is so amazing!"
"Mhm mhm mhm, is this another birthday gift from Daddy? Hehehe~"
"I like it so much, when is Daddy coming back?!"
The three little ones chattered, having missed their Daddy terribly since he left days ago.
"Don't worry, Daddy will be back soon."
Luo Tianyi comforted the three little ones, though honestly, she herself missed that guy. He had gone to the Star River Empire's homeworld, Qiong Cang Planet, for five or six days. Now that the competition was over, it would take at least another three or four days for him to return.
As Luo Tianyi was thinking this, at that very moment, the Seven Kill King once again released the received ranking list publicly through light projection.
"This is... the planetary ranking!?"
However, as Mu Ling'er's gaze fell upon the ranking list, her mind was suddenly struck by a thunderclap. "The... first place, is actually someone from the Elf race!?"
"Binghe!?"
"How... have I never heard of it? Does the Elf Planet have such a powerful individual!?"
Mu Ling'er's heart leaped into her throat. Not just Mu Ling'er, but others from the Elf Planet were also incredibly excited and astonished. One of their clan's celestial prodigies had achieved the top spot, meaning this Lord Binghe was even more powerful than Lord Ye Xuan.
"Princess Ling'er, this..."
"This Lord Binghe might be able to help our Elf race rise again as quickly as possible!"
The eyes of the surrounding Elves were filled with excitement and fervor. Before, it was because their Elf race lacked a truly capable leader, but that was no longer the case.
"I hope so."
Mu Ling'er was also invigorated. Honestly, as long as the Elf race could be revitalized, it didn't matter who was the leader.
Furthermore... her father's great vengeance had yet to be avenged, and that influential figure in the Star River Empire. "One day, I will personally kill that person and avenge my father!"
Clenching her fists, Mu Ling'er secretly made a firm resolution to strive even harder!
Meanwhile, on the distant Planet of Sin.
At this moment, it was as if a hurricane had swept across the entire planet.
The Villain's Colosseum.
"Hey, have you heard? That Elf kid who previously challenged the colosseum bare-handed has won first place in the Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition!"
"Tsk tsk, how could I not have heard? That kid has guts!!"
"Indeed, the sworn enemy of the Elves, the Star River Empire's honored guest, the mighty eighth-tier Great Emperor himself. That kid still dared to go. I admire his courage!"
"Heh heh, I can already imagine Futu's expression right now!"
"This time, the War Alliance is going to be unsettled!!"
In an instant, various factions stirred. Of course, the most attention-grabbing was the giant beast's clone of Binghe. However, if people knew that Binghe had directly ascended to the top in the Heavenly Stairway Battle, what a sensational scene it would be.
However, amidst the heated discussions of the major powers, a conspiracy targeting Binghe and Ye Xuan by the strong individuals of the Sky Wolf Empire was unfolding.
