This initial ranking for the reward surprised many players.
That the top ten thousand players would all receive it meant this range was relatively not too low.
Many people had originally thought this thing was specially for top players' benefit, with others getting nothing.
Of course, from a global perspective, top ten thousand was already quite high.
[ : I actually get one too? Nice, I thought it was only top ten. ]
[ : What does "random body attribute enhancement" mean? Can someone explain? ]
[ : Wait? There are so many top ten thousand big shots in public chat? Big shots, share some gaming tips? ]
As rewards were distributed, the public chat area instantly became active again.
After all, the number of people at this stage was still relatively large.
It felt somewhat more "accessible," seeming like a ranking ordinary people could strive for.
[Next, rewards for peak rankings between top one thousand and one hundred.]
As these words appeared on the game interface, Xie Antong slowly looked up.
She never expected she'd barely squeezed in!
Player "Blank," ranking 998.
Her ranking had originally been around two thousand, which was already quite high.
But this time, she actually achieved a perfect clearance.
Among the four players with perfect clearance, she was one!
Poor Chiyo Eine, having served as a knife and only "bullying the weak," didn't get any good rewards.
But this perfect clearance directly propelled Xie Antong into the top thousand, earning her this second-tier reward.
[All players receive one slot in their Dimensional Backpack and obtain one Adaptive Skill Scroll.]
[Adaptive Skill Scroll: Obtain a random skill, can choose the type, and it will match your current state most appropriately.]
"Adaptive? That's actually pretty good."
Xie Antong was surprised; she hadn't had much expectation since benefits held little temptation for her.
As a paying player, she had already bought almost everything available, and the All-Seeing Eye was absolutely sufficient.
But adaptive superpowers were something she currently lacked, and it could also enhance her spirit too.
[Next, rewards for players ranked one hundred to tenth.]
[Legendary Weapon Lottery Ticket / S-tier Back Position Sequence Item Lottery Ticket, choose one!]
At this stage, the rewards given were relatively top-tier, all things that significantly boosted combat power.
These were also things Wu Changkong and others needed.
[Next, rewards for second to tenth place!]
Hearing this voice, Perfect Life, Chiyo Eine, Sun, and other top players all looked up simultaneously.
Rewards above legendary weapons?
But soon, the conclusion given made everyone freeze.
[Congratulations to nine players for obtaining "Divine Might Baptism!"]
What was Divine Might Baptism?
While most players were confused, veterans like The Creator and the Dragon Group's Great Elder felt their hearts tremble simultaneously!
Oh no!
Does this thing really exist?
[Divine Might Baptism: Receive comprehensive attribute enhancements including strength, psychic energy, perception, etc.]
[Additionally, obtain life level elevation; in the game, those who have undergone Divine Might Baptism will be regarded as moving closer to divinity, possessing natural suppression over other players!]
!?
Instantly, the world erupted!
If previous rewards only made people envious, jealous, and yearning, this one turned into shock and doubt!
What did this mean? Wasn't this just... classifying humans into hierarchies?
From the moment civilization was born, hierarchy existed too, but those were barriers constructed by humans themselves.
Whether money or power, everything would eventually fade—nothing was eternal. But now...
What did baptism mean?
This meant that from today onward, the top ten were different from those behind them?!
[ : What does suppression mean? How does it work? ]
[ : No way, this is too much. Does this mean they stopped being human overnight? ]
[ : I think it's fine, the gap was already huge anyway... ]
This didn't require any Dragon Group or elder council—even ordinary players could sense the severity of this issue.
The prepared Dragon Group Great Elder now stood like a withered tree.
He no longer cared about these things; he only wanted to know about that final thing...
[Ooo~, players, please explore related questions on your own in the future.]
[Next, our ultimate prize at the final moment.]
[Our, number one~.]
The game's voice became playful, even sounding somewhat expectant itself.
[The first place reward is—Ascension!]
[Player 'Sin' can now choose whether to ascend immediately! Shed your current constrained mortal flesh!]
[After ascension, you will become a "Divine Emissary" and also serve as law enforcer in the game.]
[As for benefits, it's simple—eternal life!]
[And theoretically, you will gain unlimited potential power!]
Several consecutive announcements directly stunned everyone worldwide!
What the hell?
Was this right?
Direct ascension? The game's number one could directly become a god on earth?
Everyone who heard this news had their pupils instantly contract—this level of reward seemed completely different from previous ones!
[Please make your choice!]
At this moment, another voice appeared simultaneously in everyone's game interface.
It was a somewhat lazy voice—the voice of "Sin."
"I refuse."
Like a clock stopping for an instant, the world fell silent.
[Wh...why?]
"Why should I need to explain to you? Refusal means refusal."
"Are you brain damaged? Think I'm easy to fool?"
"The first place reward is being someone's dog! What crap is this? Hurry up and give me something better."
In a game audible to hundreds of millions, Lu Ce directly cursed as soon as he opened his mic!
After several seconds of silence, the game's voice finally returned.
[Fine, reward equivalently replaced with highest-tier Divine Might Baptism, with full attribute enhancement.]
[Additionally, Perfect Life.]
Perfect Life, still immersed in shock, was momentarily dazed, wondering why the game would specifically call him.
[The qualification to ascend and become a Divine Emissary belongs only to the world's number one.]
[Since he refuses, it cannot be passed down. If you want it, you can only defeat him to become the new world number one.]
[If he keeps being unreasonable and refuses to accept, your ascension opportunities will be wasted.]
[The gates of heaven have opened for everyone. Unfortunately, there's currently an ungrateful guy blocking the entrance.]
