Primordial Star Scripture

After leaving the Merit Mission Pavilion, Ye Chen went straight back to his own cave mansion in the First Cave Mansion Area.

Ye Chen was not in a rush to go to the "Advancement Hall" to upgrade his disciple token from the True God Token to the God King Token—it was something he planned to do when he was about to challenge the God King List two days later.

Ye Chen returned to his cave mansion first to rest and recuperate from the fatigue of the journey back to the Supreme Divine Institute. At the same time, he reflected on the gains and losses of his trip to the Demon Tomb.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed like the snap of fingers, and the day for the monthly challenge to enter the God King List finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Ye Chen's figure disappeared from the cave mansion.

…

The Supreme Divine Institute has a total of eighteen living continents, among which six are inhabited by disciples and elders, and the other twelve are sealed continents with various relics and places of adventure.

Among the six living continents, the most populous is the "God King Living Continent"!

The reason why the "God King Living Continent" has the most people is because there are the most disciples in the God King Realm in the entire Supreme Divine Institute!

This is easy to understand.

After all, those who pass the assessments of the Eight Great Divine Institutes and then join the Supreme Divine Institute are basically extremely powerful figures of the Eighth Tribulations True Gods or Nine Tribulations True Gods.

It's exceedingly rare for someone like the Little Provincial Princess to join the Supreme Divine Institute as a Three Tribulations True God.

And those who stand out from the assessments of the Eight Great Divine Institutes to join the Supreme Divine Institute as Eighth Tribulations True Gods or Nine Tribulations True Gods definitely have exceptional talents and perceptiveness.

In such cases, after joining the Supreme Divine Institute for some time, whether it be a few years or several decades, with the exception of those who fall during the Divine Tribulation, almost all of them can step into the God King Realm!

As a result, there is an incredibly large number of God King Realm disciples accumulated within the disciples of the Supreme Divine Institute.

The difficulty of cultivating from the God King Realm to the Divine Venerable Realm increases countless times over. This also means that the number of disciples who remain in the God King Realm within the Supreme Divine Institute is even more substantial.

Many disciples have cultivated for thousands of years in the Supreme Divine Institute and are still in the God King Realm.

And once they break through to the Divine Venerable Realm, aside from a very small number of people who continue to cultivate in the Supreme Divine Institute, others either opt to become junior elders of the Eight Great Divine Institutes or choose to leave the Supreme Divine Institute to forge their own paths and establish powers elsewhere in the Divine Kingdoms.

Overall, the number of Divine Venerable Realm figures in the Supreme Divine Institute is far less than that of God King Realm disciples.

In the entire Supreme Divine Institute, the number of people in the God King Realm is the highest, followed by the True God Realm, then the Divine Venerable Realm, and the Sovereign Realm powerhouses are the least.

Under such circumstances, it goes without saying that the "God King Living Continent" is the liveliest of the six living continents of the Supreme Divine Institute!

And the liveliest day on the "God King Living Continent" is the day each month when the challenge for the "God King List" takes place!

The "God King List" is a ranking list jointly established by the Eight Great Divine Institutes and only includes the top one thousand ranked within the God King Realm.

The God King Realm disciples of the Eight Great Divine Institutes total several million.

Just the Supreme Divine Institute alone has hundreds of thousands of God King Realm disciples.

Given this situation, the competition for the thousand spots on the "God King List" is, of course, extremely fierce.

When the day to challenge the "God King List" arrives, countless God Kings with recent breakthroughs, or those not in closed-door cultivation, would gather outside the "God King Hall" where the list is located.

Some come to challenge the God King List themselves; others come to watch the challenge play out.

After Ye Chen upgraded his disciple token to the "God King Token" at the True God Life Continent's "Advancement Hall," he arrived outside the "God King Hall" on the God King Living Continent, where he found the exterior of the hall already packed with a crowd of over a hundred thousand people!

This is still with many of the Supreme Divine Institute's God King Realm disciples in closed-door cultivation or out on missions.

If everyone were to come here, the number of people present would likely multiply many times over!

A sight of hustle and bustle and boiling excitement covered the square outside the "God King Hall," and a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face: "The rumors are true; the God King Living Continent is indeed bustling with excitement."

"Just the Supreme Divine Institute alone has so many people crowded here to challenge the 'God King List.' Presumably, the other Eight Great Divine Institutes also have countless disciples right now gathered outside their own 'God King Halls,' preparing to challenge the 'God King List' as well."

The day when the nine great Divine Institutes challenge the "God King List" each month is the same day.

This is also to ensure that the rankings of the nine Divine Institutes on the God King List are updated at the same time, making it fairer.

Ye Chen's guess was correct.

Apart from the Supreme Divine Institute, the other Divine Institutes including the Tai Qing Divine Institute, Tai Wu Divine Institute, and Tai Lin Divine Institute also had hundreds of thousands of people crowded in the squares outside their "God King Hall," ready to challenge the God King List.

All nine Divine Institutes had sent elders from within the institute to preside over the challenge ceremony for the "God King List."

The one responsible for presiding over the ceremony at the Supreme Divine Institute was an elder of the Upper Immortal Divine Venerable level.

The deployment of an elder of the Upper Immortal Divine Venerable rank clearly shows the great importance the Supreme Divine Institute places on the "God King List."

As soon as the Immortal Divine Venerable elder announced the official start of this month's challenge to the God King List, the gates of the "God King Hall" opened, and a hundred individuals eager to test their God King combat power entered the God King Hall at once.

Just like with True God disciples challenging the "True God Ranking List," this kind of combat power test is extremely fast.

In less than a moment, all one hundred individuals had exited the "God King Hall."

However, the "God King List" hanging outside the "God King Hall" showed virtually no changes!

After all, breaking into the top one thousand of the God King Realm across all nine Divine Institutes and making it onto the God King List is not an easy feat!

It was only after a dozen or so batches of challengers that three names on the God King List changed their rankings.

But the rankings at the very top of the God King List did not budge in the slightest.

Clearly, these individuals are the absolute powerhouses among the God King Realm of the nine Divine Institutes, and no one is capable of shaking their positions!

Following the flow of the crowd in the square, Ye Chen slowly made his way forward, while his gaze also drifted towards the top rankings on the God King List.

The name ranked first on the God King List was a name Ye Chen was extremely familiar with—Yang Yun!

The name ranked third on the God King List was also one Ye Chen knew all too well, none other than Yang Yan!

Yang Yun and Yang Yan bore a grudge against Ye Chen, even sending an Upper God King to assassinate him in the past; Ye Chen ultimately killed that Upper God King with the "Xuan Divine Cone" and severely deterred the two of them.

In the end, Yang Yun and Yang Yan even set up a banquet and offered Ye Chen an apology, swearing that if they ever encountered Ye Chen again, they would steer clear from him.

After that, Ye Chen headed to the "Demon Tomb," and never saw Yang Yun and Yang Yan again.

Now, seeing the names of the two hanging at the very top of the God King List, a glimmer of sharpness flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

Before going to the "Demon Tomb," Ye Chen would have been very concerned about these two.

After all, without the "Xuan Divine Cone," he probably wouldn't have had any way to deal with them.

But now, Ye Chen had successfully made a breakthrough to the God King Realm, stepped into the fifth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, and was even able to mobilize a small mass of the Blue Extreme Iceflame.

At this moment, even if Yang Yun and Yang Yan took action themselves, Ye Chen was unafraid!

His gaze sliding over the names of Yang Yun and Yang Yan, Ye Chen's attention settled on the name in the second spot on the God King List.

Written there was: Mu Qingxue, Middle God King, from the Tai Qing Divine Institute!

This person ranked second on the "God King List" was shockingly not from the Supreme Divine Institute but a disciple from the Tai Qing Divine Institute among the nine great Divine Institutes!

Even more special was that this person managed to reach the second rank on the "God King List" while in the Middle God King Realm.

Ye Chen noticed that the entire top fifty of the God King List were basically dominated by Upper God Kings.

Except for "Mu Qingxue" seizing the second rank as a Middle God King, there was only one other Middle God King who had broken into the forty-sixth rank.

And there was not a single Lower God King among the entire top fifty!
