Chapter 9
Jie Er Fu Dragneel: Seventh Ranked Ancestor of Mages
"Power Ranking, seventh place: Legendary White Mage, Ancestor of Mages · Complete Form · Jie Er Fu · Dragneel."
"This... Legendary Ancestor of Mages?"
"I'm really not mistaken, am I! Is it truly that name?"
"Didn't he die a long, long time ago?"
"This... This must be a joke! How could this character still be alive now?"
"Rumor has it that this fellow died hundreds of years ago, and even his bones were discovered by everyone."
"Now you're telling me he's still alive?"
"But... Even if he's alive, he couldn't possibly be ranked in this position... Do you know how terrifying the existences ranked in this position are?"
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide, under the continuous updates of the ranking of over 40 powerhouses before, had long had their worldview and horizons greatly expanded, not to mention the several Creator-level existences that appeared earlier.
However, based on consistent precedent, no matter how much the worldview of people worldwide improved, the next powerhouse to appear would still shock them.
But...
When this seventh position was revealed, those who knew this individual's identity were not surprised at all. Instead, they began to question.
If the Oldman of the Jewel was barely stronger than Evil God D, then the strength of this seventh-ranked Jie Er Fu Dragneel was completely incomparable to the previous two; he wasn't even considered a Creator-level existence.
Everyone thought that the appearance of this seventh-ranked individual would once again raise the limit of the ranking, but they didn't expect. An existence they perceived as relatively weak appeared.
Although this Jie Er Fu's strength was indeed very strong, and his legend was quite mythical. But the traces of combat power that those events demonstrated were still not enough for him to be ranked so high.
The Oldman of the Jewel, Evil God D, what kind of terrifying existences were they? To compare with, or even surpass them, what kind of strength and level would one need?
Evil God D was a terrifying powerhouse capable of creating and altering planets. The Oldman of the Jewel was also a terrifying existence capable of casually changing all worlds across an entire timeline.
And this newly appeared Jie Er Fu, currently, without looking at the brief introduction, everyone felt that he did not possess enough strength to be ranked seventh.
Western Lands.
In a destroyed city.
The Black Dragon descended from the sky, transforming back into his human form, looking at the gigantic black and white shadow in the void, falling into a state of both rage and fear.
He swung his arm, spewing out fierce black flames, completely destroying half of the city.
He had finally found Jie Er Fu. The enemy he had always wanted to kill.
But... his ranking was so high!
In the Black Dragon's impression, Jie Er Fu shouldn't even be on the list. Now that the ranking had reached the space-time level, someone like Jie Er Fu should absolutely not appear.
But... the most unexpected thing still happened. Not only was he on the list, but he was also currently the strongest existence.
Thinking of this, the unparalleled Black Dragon was terrified in his heart, and at the same time began to doubt.
"Could it be... that he became stronger during the time I didn't know?"
"But, even if he became stronger, it couldn't be this exaggerated, could it?"
"The man in my impression wasn't even God-level, now..."
"The contrast before and after is too exaggerated!"
Eastern Island.
Fuyuki City.
In a small church.
An old man wearing a tall hat and ordinary priest attire, his eyes revealed a look of surprise. This person was the Oldman of the Jewel.
As a supervisor in space-time, he often received commissions from disciples to witness great magical rituals.
Looking at the name flying out in the void, the Oldman of the Jewel was extremely curious. He had originally prepared himself mentally for the positions ahead to be extremely terrifying existences. After all, the previous rankings were indeed like that.
But the appearance of this one made him slightly puzzled, because based on the information he knew, Jie Er Fu did not possess such great power. After all, his own power was obtained by spending over twenty thousand years in a time rift.
This power ranking should not rank weak individuals ahead, should it? Could it be that this kind of unknown upper-level existence also makes mistakes?
In front of Chick Island.
The crowd did not engage in heated discussions, nor was there the surprise and astonishment as before. After all, Jie Er Fu was not famous to them. Two-thirds of the people in this crowd had never even heard of this name, and one-third had heard of it, but did not feel that the other party was so powerful.
"I say, could this one be like that S-class hero from before?"
"Just a bad reputation, but actually very capable."
"After all, something like that did happen before."
"Perhaps, this Jie Er Fu is indeed a dark horse, it's hard to say."
The others heard this and nodded in agreement. As a ranking list, it was very normal for an unknown dark horse to appear.
"However, you say, the titles White Mage, Legendary Ancestor of Mages, Complete Form, are truly quite meaningful."
"It certainly looks intimidating, but I've truly never heard of this person."
"Stop discussing, won't we get the result later?"
As soon as the words fell, in the illusion, the text in front disappeared.
A white-haired youth stood on the ground. His parents and younger brother were all dead, and all around were traces left by dragons...
To resurrect his dead younger brother, this white-haired youth chose to study magic at a magic academy. There, he was hailed as the most dazzling genius.
He learned all the magic in the entire school, except for one type of forbidden magic that the youth had not yet learned. That was the magic of life and death, strictly forbidden by divine decree, not to be touched.
The youth was warned never to research this magic, but to resurrect his younger brother, the youth secretly researched it, and because of this, invited a divine curse.
The entire magic academy, except for him, everyone else died. He himself received the curse of the gods, becoming an immortal and unaging existence.
The youth did not give up because of this, but continued to delve into the research of life and death magic, and because of this, created a huge number of demons. When using his younger brother's corpse, he unexpectedly created the strongest demon.
The scene shifts.
Two hundred years passed, and because of the curse, his appearance had not changed at all.
At this time, humans and a portion of the dragon people who were relatively close to the dragon race learned Dragon Magic. Jie Er Fu also influenced a Dragon Mage, giving him the dark magic he had researched.
But he did not expect that this action would create the strongest Dragon Slayer Mage, along with the demise of all dragonkind.
The Dragon King, who possessed power, was wary of the youth, hunting him worldwide.
In the process of avoiding the Black Dragon, the youth had a fortuitous encounter. He met someone he should not have met: a person who called himself Zhong Biao Xiang, a time merchant.
