"I'm not joking, I'm serious," Yue Zhiyin's voice was steady and calm. "The God of War Ranking is held once every three thousand years, and the rules are different each time."
"This time, by decree of the heavens, the one who reaches the top of the God of War Ranking will not only receive the title of God of War, but also be blessed with purple qi and considered a high-grade immortal record."
Sui You fell into thought.
Yue Zhiyin raised an eyebrow. "This is a rare opportunity. If we wait for the two of them to grow up, the God of War Ranking might not even exist anymore."
Hearing this, Sui You also felt a stir of interest.
As the foremost of the auspicious beasts, the Dragon Clan, to ascend to the Nine Heavens and become high-grade true immortals like Yan Hua, Chen Xi, Shao Feng, and An Nuo, they had to overcome numerous trials. The heavenly tribulation of ascension was particularly difficult, and countless members of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans had perished in it over the years.
If either Qi Yu or Si Qing could obtain the top position on the God of War Ranking, they would be spared the ordeal of the ascension tribulation.
As for the remaining one... whoever it was, they could directly succeed the King of the South Sea Dragon upon growing up.
Qi Nian, who had been listening for a long time, naturally understood their thoughts but couldn't help but spread his hands. "Will An Nuo and the others agree? Qi Yu and Si Qing are still young."
"If we talk to them properly, they should agree," Si Qing recalled. "There are many ways to become a God of War. In my previous life, I earned it through battle, and the dangers of war were far greater than this selection process."
"And if you can't win in the God of War Ranking, you can concede. The overall risk is much lower."
While they were talking, Qi Yu had been squatting to the side, resting her chin on her hands and reading a storybook.
The one she was reading this time was a romance novel. The male and female protagonists were on the verge of overcoming all obstacles and being together, so she was eager to see the ending.
Yue Zhiyin, Qi Nian, and Sui You chatted with Si Qing for a while and were about to ask Qi Yu if she wanted to return to the South Sea to announce their intention to participate in the God of War Ranking.
When they turned around, they saw Qi Yu engrossed in the storybook, reading with rapt attention.
She hadn't heard anything they were discussing.
Qi Nian: "..."
Si Qing: "..."
Sui You: "..."
Yue Zhiyin: "..."
The four of them looked at Qi Yu helplessly.
Qi Yu, oblivious to her surroundings, lowered her head to look at the storybook. After a while, she sensed something was amiss. She looked up and met their four gazes.
"E
An Nuo and Shao Feng fell into hesitation upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Yan Hua casually placed a hand on Chen Xi's shoulder and suggested, "Shao Feng, how about this? You spar with the two little ones separately, this time for real. You can see what their current level is, and then you'll know."
Qi Yu was indifferent to this and merely looked up at Yan Hua. "I have no objections. When do we start?"
