Chapter 485: Master Li, Are You the Best of the Generation?

Li An witnessed Lin Ruyu's ascension to the Godhood firsthand.So he knew that ascending to the Godhood through the ruins had side effects.But others didn't know!Lies can't hide the truth.Sooner or later, the truth will be exposed.For example, Lin Ruyu hasn't appeared yet.And neither has the second person who ascended to the Godhood after Lin Ruyu.Over time, everyone will realize that something is amiss.So, the leader of the Hezong Alliance intends to expedite his plan and complete it before everyone realizes.This is Li An's current thinking.The leader of the Hezong Alliance's true goal is the powerful individuals who ascended to the Godhood through the ruins.And none of this has anything to do with him, Li An.It has nothing to do with Shuangxue either.Neither of them could possibly ascend to the Godhood through the ruins.Then the next line of thought becomes clear!Li An wants to seize the ruins and use the entrance tickets to blackmail those who seek to ascend to the Godhood through the ruins.It's impossible for no one to pay.Because this event is open to all realms!Not just the Alliance Realm, but peak Ninth Realm cultivators from other realms can also participate!Seizing the relic is like owning a money-printing machine!Now.Li An has his eyes on a general quest.It's from Cross City!"Defend the Cross City Main Arena for seven days and seven nights to receive the relic coordinates and 100,000 Cultivation Saint/Divine Pavilion points!"There's another quest."Defeat the defender of the Cross City Arena to receive 5,000 Cultivation Saint points. Each person can only accept this quest once."Why is the reward so different between the two?Because the first quest, defending the arena for seven days, is practically impossible for many.The reward of the relic coordinates is something everyone wants.Even people like Zhao Shaolong and Hades wouldn't give up.So,The person who stands firm at the end is likely the most powerful overall combatant of the current generation!Not only must they be able to fight, but they must also be able to endure. It doesn't say "defend the ring for seven days," but "defend the ring for seven days and seven nights."This means that during these seven days, 168 hours, you may face endless rounds of battle.No rest, no pause, fight to the bitter end!That day.The sun shone brightly in the center of Cross City.The arena was open-air, enormous, with no walls on any side, allowing anyone to spectate.At this moment.There weren't many people around the arena, as it was completely empty.No one had taken up that mission yet!In the surrounding restaurants, everyone was talking about this matter. "This mission's been posted for ages, and no one's taken it yet?""Nonsense! Those who can enter those places to train are all geniuses, incredibly intelligent. The first one to go is definitely cannon fodder!""Let me put it this way, whoever goes first won't make it to the end!""Why?""It's a round-robin battle!""Say you're the first Light Ruler to go. Then what? The Terrans, Zhao Shaolong, Li An, Liu Jun, Lin He, those people, will wear you down one by one.""You won't last seven days. Unless you're infinitely stronger than everyone else in your generation, and even fighting an Apocalypse doesn't cost you much, then you might make it to the end!"This statement is incredibly pertinent, and everyone agrees.This is also the most discussed mission on the Interstellar Network within the Hezong Alliance.The missions from the Eight Great Families were privately issued, so where did those geniuses go and what were they doing? But no one knows the specific missions.Only this mission is publicly issued!The Cross City Lord's Mansion issued it directly to the entire Hezong Alliance, for everyone to see. This was a highly anticipated quest.The most-liked comment on the forum was also very straightforward."Whoever stands last will be the best of the generation!"However, there were also dissenting opinions: "If it's a round-robin match, and we've worn down our opponents before sending in the top players, that doesn't mean anything, does it?""You'll win, but you'll never be the best of the generation!"Let's make it even simpler."The first one to go up, the last one to leave!"So, who goes up first?The huge arena was bathed in sunlight.The passage leading to the arena was long.Many curious people gathered on both sides, watching."No one!""No one has accepted the quest yet!"Suddenly."Hey, the quest disappeared!""I can't find that quest anymore on my platform, so someone has accepted it!""Who is it?!"The previously sparsely populated central arena suddenly filled with people.Accept the quest, and you have to go up!Who is it?Everyone wanted to know!"Could he be cannon fodder?""No such possibility!""What makes you say that? Maybe even among geniuses there's a certain kind of flamboyance. They don't have the strength to make it to the end, but they want to show off, so they took this mission.""You think Li An is cannon fodder?""What?""Just watch!"Someone pointed to the end of the road.Under the sun, the young man walked alone!In an instant, a single stone stirred a thousand waves!"What the hell?""Li An!?""He dared to go first? Does he have the strength to make it to the end?""I don't know. Just look. Li An is definitely not cannon fodder!"This news quickly spread throughout the Xiu Sheng Temple and the Divine Pavilion."Li An accepted the mission?""And has he already taken the stage?""What the hell is he doing?"On the Xinghai Sea.Zhao Shaolong was carrying out a mission assigned by Yun Ge.Shuang Xue was also there. He was surprised to hear that Li An was taking the stage. "Does he really want the ultimate reward? Or is he just going up there for fun?"Shuangxue glanced at Zhao Shaolong and said, "Why do you think he's so idle?"Zhao Shaolong choked.Because he didn't believe Li An could make it to the end.It wasn't because he had any prejudice against Li An.To put it bluntly, even Hades couldn't make it to the end.So what if he were Hades? We humans here could take turns taking turns and knock him off the stage.Li An... could he really do it?Shuangxue actually shared that thought.Before leaving, she had asked Li An in surprise, "Are you really going to go first?""Yes.""Can you win?"I still remember Li An's spirited profile.He smiled, "Of course!"At the same time...In the central arena, under the spotlight of the crowd, Li An planted his feet firmly on the vast circular arena.The chatter and discussion were audible around him. Suddenly, a child shouted in a slightly shrill voice, "Master Li, are you the best of the generation?!" Hearing this, Li An turned to look at the child. At that moment, a flood of enemies flashed through his mind. The Ghost Lord, the Hades, those who, on paper, seemed far more powerful than him. Their talents were each more incredible than the other. He, on the other hand, only had a pair of fists. Could someone like me claim to be the best of the generation? Whether I had the right to do so was another matter. It all depended on whether I dared. Even the most intelligent people were often misled by their own cleverness. Life doesn't always require thinking. There are certain moments when one needs the courage to swallow the sun, moon, and stars in one gulp! Li An suddenly spoke in a resounding voice. "Ahem! Just now!" The once noisy streets suddenly grew quiet. Lifeforms of all races and shapes smiled, curiously gazing at the young man before them, eager to hear what he had to say. Li An looked up and continued, "Someone just asked me.""Master Li, are you the best of the contemporary generation?""The best of the contemporary generation?"The moment those four words came out, the atmosphere at the scene changed dramatically!The mere spectators online discussing who is the best of the contemporary generation are fanning the flames!Li An, the insider, speaking up personally, is inciting a clique!"Is that so?" someone shouted.Li An laughed heartily, "No!"Everyone was stunned, their faces frozen, and they felt their breath drain from them.But then, Li An's voice rose again, saying, "Not now!""In seven days!"
