195, July.
The entire land of China was in a state of chaos.
In the hot summer, the emperor left Chang 'an and the emperor returned to the east.
The war in the east of the country was getting more and more intense.
At this critical moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on the coast of the East Sea.
A rainbow poured down from the sky, piercing through the night sky and illuminating the entire land of the Nine Prefectures.
As the seven-colored light gathered, it actually turned into a scroll that connected the sky and the sea.
The huge scroll floated on the coast, and the people of the Nine Provinces could clearly see it.
Such a phenomenon also made the various dukes of the Nine Provinces look sideways.
"The Nine Provinces Heavenly Dao Saint Rankings have descended and blessed the people of the earth. Anyone who enters this ranking will have endless opportunities and blessings!”
The sound of a mountain collapsing came from the surface of the sea and could be heard clearly in the entire nine provinces of China.
Then, rays of seven-colored divine light formed divine charms that slowly rippled from the huge scroll.
...
Jizhou, Ye City.
Yuan Shao stood in front of the mansion and looked up at the Heavenly Dao Saint Rankings under the vast starry sky.
"Father, why is this phenomenon happening?”
Yuan Shao's son, Yuan Tan, stood beside Yuan Shao and asked with a frown.
"The appearance of a phenomenon in the Nine Provinces must be an auspicious sign. Now that father has already occupied the four prefectures of Qing, You, Bing, and Ji, this phenomenon must have appeared to congratulate father!”
Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, although he didn't know what was going on, he still smartly flattered him.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Xi with a gratified expression before staring at the Saint Ranking.
He slowly stroked his beard and said,"You can't say that. Let's see who is lucky enough to be on the Heavenly Dao Saint Rankings. Hmph!"”
Yuan Xi nodded." Father, this place isn't far from us. Should we send troops there to investigate?"”
"No! This is a Heavenly Dao sacred object. If we rashly approach it, I'm afraid something bad will happen. It's better for us to wait and see!”
"Commander Father is wise!"
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi cupped their fists and didn't say anything else.
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
Cao Cao stood on the city wall and stared at the Heavenly Dao Saint Rankings.
His trusted subordinates were all standing beside him.
"Wen Ruo, what do you think of this phenomenon?”
Cao Cao turned his head and narrowed his eyes at Xun Yu as he asked in a deep voice.
Xun Yu frowned and stared at the Saint Board for a long time before shaking his head slightly.
"I don't know!" he said slowly.
Cao Cao nodded and turned to Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai." Zhongde, Zhicai, what about you?”
"We don't know what this is!”
Cao Cao nodded as expected and asked,""Since that's the case, what do you guys think?”
"My Lord, I feel that since it's a blessing, we should wait and see who can be on the rankings. We should also hear what kind of opportunities the people on the rankings can obtain!”
Xun Yu cupped his hands at Cao Cao with a burning gaze.
Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, and the rest nodded in agreement.
Cao Cao stroked his long beard and said proudly,"Yes, I have a feeling that this ranking might help me achieve hegemony!"”
At the same time, the various vassals of the Nine States held their own thoughts and quietly waited for the rankings to be released.
For example, Yuan Shu of Huainan, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Li Wei and Guo Si of Chang 'an.
The excitement in their hearts was not inferior to Cao Yuan and the others.
"The power of the Heavenly Dao Sage Rankings cannot be approached. Anyone within a thousand feet of the rankings will be destroyed!”
Buzz!
An extremely majestic voice echoed from the Saint Ranking again.
At the same time, an invisible barrier slowly extended a thousand feet away from the scroll.
It formed something similar to a barrier.
The people of the Land of the Nine Prefectures naturally knew the power of this barrier.
The word 'extermination' was enough to intimidate the people of the world. No one dared to test the law!
At this time, Yuan Xi who was still by Yuan Shao's side was greatly shocked.
He quickly cupped his hands at Yuan Shao and said," Commander Father, you are indeed far-sighted. The might of the Saint Ranking is indeed terrifying. If we rashly send troops over, I'm afraid we will be destroyed in an instant!"”
The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth curled up slightly as he said with a faint smile,"I have some connection with this ranking. I keep feeling that my Yuan family will obtain great benefits from this ranking!”
"God bless my father. My Yuan family will definitely dominate the world!”
"Commander Father will definitely take the top spot on the rankings and establish his foundation for eternity!”
Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan cupped their fists in congratulations.
"Father, look, there are subtitles on it!”
"Yes, there are words!"
For a moment, just like the Yuan father and son, the people of the Nine States stared at the Saint Ranking with all their attention.
"Those who enter the Heavenly Dao Saint Rankings are blessed by the heavens!”
"Soaring Dragon Under the Heavens, Wind and Cloud Roar, Dukedom Strength Rankings, open!”
Then, rainbow-colored characters appeared above.
For a moment, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter. They only stared at the words on the Saint Ranking without blinking.
"Ranked 10th on the strength ranking of the dukes: Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, occupies an area of 300,000 square kilometers and has a population of 850,000! Zhang Lu was rewarded with a million stones of grain, a thousand wagons of supplies, and a thousand horses!”
"9th on the ranking of the dukes: Liu Bei of Xu Prefecture, occupies an area of 320,000 square kilometers and has a population of 1,050,000! Liu Bei was rewarded with two million stones of grain, two thousand wagons of military supplies, and two thousand horses!”
"Ranked eighth on the dukedom strength rankings: Liu Pi of Yuzhou, occupies an area of 400,000 square kilometers and has a population of 1.1 million! Liu Pi was rewarded with three million stones of grain, three thousand wagons of supplies, and three thousand horses!”
"Ranked seventh on the strength ranking of the dukes: Cao Cao of Yanzhou, occupies 600,000 square kilometers and has a population of 1.2 million! Cao Cao was rewarded with four million stones of rations, four thousand wagons, and four thousand horses!”
"Ranked sixth on the Dukedom Rankings: Li Jue and Guo Si of Chang 'an. Covering an area of 800,000 square kilometers and governing a population of one million! Li Jue and Guo Si will be rewarded with five million stones of grain, five thousand wagons, and five thousand horses!”
"Ranked fifth on the strength ranking of the dukes: Yuan Shu of Huainan, occupies an area of 900,000 square kilometers and governs a population of 1,250,000! Yuan Shu was rewarded with six million dan of rations, six thousand wagons of supplies, and six thousand horses!”
Every time a row of ancient characters appeared on the Saint Ranking, a colorful divine light would shoot out from the ranking.
Then, it fell into the hands of the people whose names appeared on the rankings.
After that, these people could receive the rewards they had obtained.
Of course, those who received the reward did not seem very happy.
Although they had received the reward, they were more envious of the people who were ranked higher.
As the hegemons of the world, almost all of them wanted to rule the world.
Therefore, everyone continued to stare at the Saint Board.
They wanted to see who would be able to obtain the first place on the rankings!
