With the fall of Nangong Tianxia, a secluded and tranquil valley on the Tianwu Continent is shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.
This valley is called Tianji Valley, the location of the most mysterious sect on the Tianwu Continent - Tianji Pavilion.
Tianji Pavilion, detached from worldly affairs, yet insightful about the world's trends, is built along the mountainside in a staggered and orderly manner. The winding paths paved with bluestone are lined with exotic flowers and rare herbs, and occasionally a spirit deer roams among them, adding to its otherworldly charm.
Inside the valley, ancient pavilions are scattered in an orderly fashion, each containing countless books and mechanisms that record every detail of the past history. The most amazing thing is that there is a star-gazing tower in the valley, which is equipped with an ancient star-gazing instrument. It is said to be a relic from ancient times, capable of revealing the secrets of the heavens and predicting the future changes.
At this moment, inside the Star Gazing Tower, several elderly men with white hair and beards are sitting around an ancient stone table. On the table are yellowed scrolls, densely marked with the trajectories of the stars, the changes in the world's affairs, and rows of names listed among them.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, causing the blueprints to turn softly. Several elderly men raised their heads almost simultaneously, their gazes piercing through the layers of clouds and mist, looking towards the northern horizon.
There, a star that had hung high above the Great Qian Dynasty for decades, illuminating the night sky of the Great Qian people countless times, began to sway precariously, its light gradually dimming, like an aging hero who, having completed his mission, finally shed his heavy armor.
In the end, the star transformed into a shooting star, streaking across the sky and falling into the boundless darkness, leaving behind a poignant yet magnificent trail.
But at the very moment this star fell, the skies above the Great Qian Dynasty did not fall silent.
On the contrary, dozens of dazzling generals seemed to be awakened by some force, shining brightly. They were either bright or dim, intertwining to form a brilliant galaxy, illuminating the night sky of the entire Great Qian Dynasty as if it were daytime.
Among these stars, two are particularly dazzling. One is located above Qianzhou, its iron-gray light steady and profound, with a blue dragon totem quietly coiled around it.
The other one is located at the border between the Great Xuan and the Great Qian Dynasty. Its golden light is dazzling, like the rising sun, guarding a Ziwei Emperor Star that exudes a dazzling purple aura.
Several elderly people inside the observatory gazed at this magnificent sight in silence for a long time.
"Another old friend has passed away. Time truly is a cruel knife, cutting down even the most outstanding talents!"
"Nangong Tianxia, a war god of his generation, once led the Thunder Dragon Riders to dominate the world, and no one could withstand his might. But now..."
One of the elderly men, dressed in a blue robe and holding a feather fan, sighed softly, breaking the silence.
"The world is ever-changing, and heroes grow old—this is the natural order. But look at today, in this era of great strife, countless geniuses have emerged one after another. Is this not a sign of a prosperous age?"
"Nangong Tianxia is just a remnant of the old era; he should have made way for the newcomers long ago!"
"Knowing it was impossible, he still did it; his fate was his own choice!"
Another old man chimed in. His hair and beard were completely white, but his tone was calm and composed. For them, the scenes of fallen heroes and aging geniuses were far too common.
"That's right. Now, around the Great Qian Dynasty, two monsters with the ultimate in Qi have been born, Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba."
"Geniuses who were once rare, appearing only once every few centuries, are now springing up like mushrooms after rain; it truly is an era of great competition!"
An elderly man with a kind face, dressed in a Taoist robe, nodded in agreement.
"While the Great Qian Dynasty has these two figures on its periphery, and they are enemies of each other, the Yellow Turban Army has the unparalleled military genius, 'Dragon Soaring Commander' Meng Zhang."
"Moreover, Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke of Tang in the Great Xuan Dynasty, now commands a multitude of fierce generals and brilliant strategists. It seems there's bound to be some chaos surrounding the Great Qian and Great Xuan Dynasties!"
Then, as if remembering something, he let out a soft sigh.
"It is in chaos that the true colors of heroes are revealed. Although we do not concern ourselves with worldly affairs, observing the general trend of the world is still a great pleasure."
The old man in the blue robe smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Gentlemen, there is an important matter to discuss. The World Ranking, jointly issued by our Tianji Pavilion, renowned scholars from the Hundred Schools of Thought, and other major forces, may need to be changed in the near future."
"Now that Nangong Tianxia, the God of War who once held the second-place position, has fallen, the positions in the top five will probably need to be changed."
Just then, the atmosphere inside the Star Gazing Tower suddenly became subtle. An old man in a gray robe with a thin face stroked his long beard and slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of contemplation.
Upon hearing this, the tower fell silent. Several elders either looked up at the sky or lowered their heads in deep thought, all with solemn expressions.
Nangong Tianxia's name had held the second position on the World's Most Influential People List for many years. His fall was undoubtedly a huge shock to the entire list.
"Yes, the rankings always need to be updated, and the rules cannot be abolished."
"Now we have a question before us: should Li Cunxiao, who killed Nangong Tianxia, take over his position and be ranked second?"
A moment later, an elderly man with a cane and a slightly hunched back slowly raised his eyes, his brows furrowed, as if he were weighing something in his mind.
These words immediately sparked a heated discussion among the elders.
"This move is not entirely unacceptable, but Li Cunxiao's achievements cannot be summarized by merely being second place."
"He defeated Nangong Tianxia in a one-on-one battle. With such a record, second place is probably beneath him."
An elderly man with white hair and beard and a kind face shook his head and said slowly.
"Yes, that makes sense."
"Now that Li Cunxiao has single-handedly killed Nangong Tianxia, it will probably not be long before the whole world knows of Li Cunxiao's bravery. If he is only ranked second, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Another elderly man, dressed in a Taoist robe and exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, nodded.
"Then, in your opinion, how should this be arranged?"
The old man in the gray robe looked around and asked.
"In my opinion, Li Cunxiao should be ranked first! Since he was able to kill Nangong Tianxia in a head-on fight, his strength is naturally far superior to Nangong's."
"I ask you, who in the world today dares to confidently claim they can do that?"
At this moment, an old man dressed in a black robe with sharp eyes slammed his hand on the table and said decisively.
These words caused an uproar inside the tower. Several elderly people nearby were astonished, and then fell into deep thought.
Ranking Li Cunxiao directly from the bottom of the World's Popularity Ranking to the top is undoubtedly an unprecedentedly bold move, but upon closer examination, it seems not entirely unreasonable.
