Of course, even the playboys who are the envy and jealousy of them can't help but curse in their hearts that their goddess is just someone else's ex-girlfriend. The sense of loss and melancholy is still very great.
……
In a seafood restaurant in Edogawa Ward—
"Little Sheng, you're making grouper for your brother again today?"
An elderly woman with white hair looked at the little girl in front of her and said with a smile,
This is a girl who looks like she's only in middle school. Her long, golden curly hair falls smoothly over her shoulders, her fair skin is as smooth as mutton fat, and her dark eyes sparkle with a hint of holiness and purity. Beneath her high, straight nose, her pink lips curl slightly upward, and her sweet smile is enough to make anyone who sees her fall in love with her.
"Today is Hui's coming-of-age ceremony. I'm going to cook him a nice meal, his favorite grouper dish."
Saint responded with a smile, and it was clear that she was in a very good mood today.
"Your brother is so lucky to have such a beautiful and well-behaved sister like you. If Xiao Sheng grows up, she might even make it onto that so-called 'Fairy Beauty Ranking'."
"...[Immortal Beauty Ranking], [Dimensional Ranking]."
Saint remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the starry sky where the original [Dimensional Ranking] had appeared.
"Give this to Little Saint!"
The old lady handed the grouper, which had been processed by machine, to Xiao Sheng.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Sheng politely thanked the old lady, gave her the money, and walked out of the [Needle Leaf Seafood Restaurant] with the grouper in hand.
After a while——
Saint walked through a quiet street and came to a three-story, exquisitely decorated villa.
Saint looked at the lights on the first floor, a charming smile spreading across his lips. Then, he went inside, took out his key, and opened the door.
"Hui, welcome back."
"I'm back, Little Saint."
The person who appeared before Saint's eyes was Kanzaki Teru, who had just slaughtered the Egyptian pantheon. His clothes had changed from black to a casual white tracksuit. From his current appearance, you could not tell that he was the Azure Emperor who made all the gods fear him. Instead, he looked like a sunny boy next door.
"I already told you, you have to call me Master, not 'Little Saint'!"
Saint changed out of her black leather boots and pouted slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Little Saint, you don't have any of the dignity a master should have in your current state. If you want me to call you 'Master,' at least heal your injuries quickly and we can talk about it when you're older."
Kanzaki Teru stood up from the sofa and looked at the figure that barely reached his chest.
Saint rolled his eyes, took the grouper into the kitchen, and said in a cute but fierce tone.
"Don't worry, with the ranking reward [A Wisp of World Origin], my injuries will heal quickly. Then I'll teach you a lesson, you 'villain' who bullied your master!"
"Oh, then I'll be waiting!"
Kanzaki Teru leaned against the white wall and said with a smile.
"Hui, you still want to eat spicy food this time?"
"Yes, spicy food is my lifelong love."

Chapter Twenty: The Other Shore
The fish meat is clearly visible; the seasonings are prepared...
The process was completed with great skill by the master craftsman; then, it was time to heat the oil in the wok…
Half an hour later——
A fragrant and delicious spicy grouper dish is ready, and just the aroma alone is enough to whet your appetite.
"Today is your coming-of-age day, Hui. Congratulations on becoming an adult."
Qi Sheng smiled as he placed the spicy grouper on the dining table, looking at the child in front of him, Kanzaki Hikaru, whom he had practically watched grow up.
Part Two: "I've grown up. I've been in this world for eighteen years without even realizing it."
Kugami Akira gazed at the dark moonlight outside, a look of realization dawning on his eyes. The eighteen years of his rebirth felt like the disorientation of waking from a dream, but this feeling quickly dissipated.
(In this world, I already have important bonds that I care about. The only deep imprint left from my past life is this spicy grouper in front of me.)
Regardless of past or present life, this is my most cherished dish, and it is also the only link between the two lifetimes.
"By the way, why hasn't Linglong (042) returned yet?"
Kanzaki Teru took the rice from Sei's hand and asked in confusion.
During this time of day, no matter what Mio does outside, she always comes home on time for dinner. The usual three of them eating together now feels a bit empty because one of them is missing.
"After seeing that you were unharmed in the battle, she tore through space and escaped into a dimensional rift to fuse with the [Kabbalah Tree of Life]. Judging from her appearance, she is unlikely to return anytime soon."
"With the Kabbalah Tree of Life, it's possible that Mio could use it to reach the other side in one fell swoop."
Kanzaki Teru pondered.
Moreover, the troubles that had been bothering him before had all disappeared with the appearance of the ranking reward [Kabbalah Tree of Life]. At the very least, Mio no longer needed the spirit crystals inside the elves.
this is a good news.
"Hui, the appearance of this [Dimensional Ranking] will probably cause a bigger change than anyone imagined. The ranking rewards of the [Celestial Beauty Ranking] alone are so rich. It is foreseeable that those who can make it onto the next rankings, such as the Divine Artifact Ranking and the God and Demon Ranking, will receive unparalleled benefits."
“Some little-known forces may very well rise to prominence by virtue of the [Dimensional Ranking].
"The world's landscape will inevitably change with the release of each ranking list."
Kanzaki Teru deeply agreed with this. The ranking rewards for the top ten in this [Fairy Beauty Ranking] alone could produce several transcendent beings if one is lucky. Moreover, the [Kabbalah Tree of Life] could even allow Mio to step onto the other side.
The ranking rewards for the next list, which will be announced at an unknown time, will only be better than this, and definitely not worse.
"I never imagined that such a transcendent entity as the [Dimensional Ranking] existed in the world."
Saint sighed and continued, "Furthermore, the [Dimensional Ranking] has been completely revived after being stimulated by the gods."
"A complete recovery?!"
Kanzaki Teru was slightly puzzled.
"When the [Dimensional Ranking] annihilated the attacker Kokabil, I could clearly sense that it was still in a relatively stable dormant state. It wasn't until the gods tried to lure me in and forcibly seize the ranking rewards that they severely stimulated the [Dimensional Ranking], causing it to awaken prematurely. I'm certain that if anyone offends the [Dimensional Ranking] again, whether it's the entire pantheon or the powerful beings who have reached the other side, they will be completely annihilated without a trace."
Saint said with deep concentration.
Kanzaki Teru nodded in agreement. The two attacks launched by the [Dimensional Ranking] earlier did indeed seem very casual, but their power was undeniably terrifying.
"Little Saint, this is for you."
After saying that, Kanzaki Teru took out the divine essence belonging to the [Sun God] Aten and handed it to Saint.
"With this transcendent godhood, plus a wisp of the world's origin, there is no doubt that your injuries will be healed."
Saint glanced at the divine spark in Kanzaki Hikaru's hand, a warm feeling welling up inside him. Then, he shook his head and politely declined, saying, "This transcendent divine spark would be far more useful to you than to me. A wisp of world origin is enough for me to recover; it will just take a little more time. Perhaps..."
Before Saint could finish speaking, Kanzaki Teru interrupted him and forcefully shoved Aten's divine status into Saint's hands.
“I don’t want to hear ‘almost,’ I want absolute certainty.”
Kanzaki Teru's tone and expression were extremely firm, which gave Sei a slight jolt.
"You!"
Having spent so many years with Kanzaki Teru, Sei understands his personality very well, and few can refute the decisions he makes.
He is domineering yet makes people feel very safe.
Unconsciously—
This disciple has grown from a little kid who was just possessed by his own shattered divine essence into the Azure Emperor, who can awe all the gods.
The fledgling eagle has truly grown up and is now able to soar through the heavens.
She firmly believed that it wouldn't be long before the other party caught up with them, broke through to the level of the transcendent, and reached the other shore.
It's only a matter of time before it all comes down to this.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Shinomiya Family
The next day.
A piece of news that shook the entire world was then released.
The Egyptian pantheon has been destroyed!
The Ennead, including the sun god Aten, and other gods belonging to the Egyptian pantheon were all annihilated, just like a true Ragnarok!
Ragnarok taking place in modern times!!
The world's top experts, including the God King, Demon King, and Dragon King, who had just received the news, could hardly believe it and thought the intelligence was wrong.
After repeatedly confirming it several times, they finally accepted this reality in shock, put down everything they were doing, shattered space, and crossed the void.
However, upon seeing the Egyptian pantheon before them, everyone fell silent, and the air seemed to freeze.
The once sacred Egyptian pantheon is now barren, a desolate wasteland with countless ravines and gullies covering the land. The thick stench of blood fills the air, making it feel as if every deep breath is a mouthful of blood.
Even with their senses digging three feet into the ground, they couldn't detect the slightest trace of any living being.
"Gulp... The entire Egyptian pantheon has truly been wiped out!!!"
The chief god of a certain pantheon stared in horror at the scene before him.
Over the millennia, many second- and third-rate pantheons have been destroyed, but the destruction of a mainstream pantheon with a transcendent being like Aten, the sun god, is unprecedented.
“Adon’s body was there, while all the other gods were dead and their bodies were torn to pieces.”
"Who did this?!"
This ruthlessness chilled even the gods to the bone.
