417: Chapter 417 Rich and Billions? What kind of title is this?!

When that line of glittering golden characters finally settled on the stone tablet...

The entire Reception Platform fell into an eerie silence once again, as if even time and space were frozen by this inconceivable scene.

Everyone's breath hitched at this moment.

Their eyes bulged like dead fish, staring fixedly at the newly appeared name on the ten thousand races prodigy list.

And following that name was a bizarre title full of mockery and humblebragging, enough to make any bitter Cultivator's Dao Heart collapse.

[Title: multi-rich multi-billion]

"..."

A full dozen seconds passed, feeling as long as a century.

Only then did the entire Reception Platform explode like a powder keg being ignited!

"Ninety... Ninety-ninth?! Am I seeing things?!"

"An Ascender who just crawled up from the Lower Realm, didn't use any Law, didn't show any Divine Ability, and just by throwing Spirit Stone... threw himself into the top hundred of the ten thousand races prodigy list?!"

"How the Hell is this possible?! Is the ranking broken?!"

"multi-rich multi-billion? Is this a title or just flaunting wealth? This is a blatant insult to us Prodigy who Cultivate so hard just to barely make the list!"

Bursts of shock, horror, confusion, and intense jealousy echoed across the Reception Platform like a mountain-shaking tsunami.

Everyone's gaze focused once more on the innocent-looking youth in white. Their eyes were like they were looking at a prehistoric beast in human skin—both absurd and terrifying.

As the center of attention, Su Chen was also completely bewildered.

He looked at the golden "Su Chen" on the stone tablet, followed by that bizarre, tacky title reeking of money, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

[Holy crap!]

[What's going on?! I just casually threw a few coins to clear the area, how did I end up on the big screen?! This is total social death!]

[What the Hell is this ten thousand races prodigy list? Isn't the judging criteria a bit too sloppy?! You can make the list just by crushing people with money?]

[If I threw out all one million Immortal Stone the Eighteenth Ancestor gave me, wouldn't I charge straight to first place?]

[And this title, multi-rich multi-billion? Which uncultured bastard gave me this?! It's too damn ridiculous! Tacky! Utterly tacky!]

[It's over, there's no way to stay low-key now!]

Su Chen roared inwardly; he felt his originally perfect plan of "developing low-key and hiding until the end of time" had been smashed to pieces by a giant stone tablet falling from the sky.

He originally just wanted to use the easiest method to deal with the annoying flies in front of him and establish some dominance.

But he never expected his casual flex would be so over-the-top, sending him directly to the center of the storm on the Ascension Ancient Road.

Behind him, his teammates were also petrified to varying degrees.

Hua Nongying's seductive fox-like eyes lost their focus.

The schemes and plans frantically running through her mind seemed laughable and pale in the face of the words "multi-rich multi-billion."

*Click!* With a soft sound, Yue Qinghan had already raised her recording spirit stone, the lens fixed on Su Chen's name and title on the stone tablet, the light in her eyes brighter than the stars.

[It's going viral! This is definitely going viral! I've already thought of the headline: "Shocking! My mysterious teammate is actually the number one person on the Immortal Cultivation Tycoon Ranking!" Isn't this way more prestigious than something like 'Starfall'?]

Qian Duoduo's legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground with a thud, his hands trembling as he clutched his chest, feeling that the financial worldview he had cultivated his whole life was now so shattered it couldn't even be pieced back together.

[So... so the ultimate form of money isn't for buying Magic Treasure, but for being used as a Magic Treasure to crush people... I... I understand now... I've lived my life like a dog until now!]

Su Chen could already imagine the endless trouble he would face next.

Sure enough.

Just as alarm bells rang in his heart.

From deeper within the Reception Platform, several incredibly powerful and terrifying Divine Thought, instantly crossed the endless Void Realm, locking onto him like cold searchlights.

Each of those Divine Thought was as deep as an abyss and as vast as a sea, thousands of times stronger than the Six-Armed Vajra and the Nine-Headed Serpent combined!

One Divine Thought was ancient and desolate, as if coming from a tomb from the eternal past, carrying an aura of decay.

Another Divine Thought was filled with tyrannical greed and killing intent, like a star-beast that had been hungry for a million years and smelled blood.

"Oh?"

An old voice, sounding like dry wood rubbing together, slowly echoed in Su Chen's Sea of Consciousness: "Such an interesting little fellow has arrived. Using Origin Spirit Stone as weapons and carrying such immense Luck... this isn't something an ordinary Lower Realm plane could produce. Could it be the Crown Prince of some Hidden Immortal Dynasty out for experience?"

Then, the cold voice filled with greed and killing intent also rang out, with undisguised salivation:

"Who cares where he's from!"

"Since he's so rich, it means he's an unprecedented, dripping-with-oil, peerless fat sheep!"

"Hehehe... this is going to be fun!"

"Pass down my order! Notify all the 'Scavenger' on the ancient road to sharpen their spirits!"

"Whoever can slaughter this fat sheep!"

"All the wealth on him... will belong to them!"

After those terrifying Divine Thought scanned him unscrupulously, they slowly receded like a tide, as if they had just issued a Universe-wide bounty for an interesting prey.

Su Chen's face darkened instantly.

He knew he had been targeted.

And targeted by a pack of hungry wolves standing at the very top of the food chain.

[Damn it, I was careless, I flexed too hard.]

[I didn't expect this Ascension Ancient Road to have this kind of real-time monitoring crap; it's basically a massive live broadcast!]

[Now I'm in big trouble.]

He slowly turned his head and glanced at his teammates behind him, who were still immersed in shock, fanaticism, and questioning their lives.

A smile that looked worse than crying slowly appeared on his face.

[It seems the road ahead won't be peaceful.]

[This is no Ascension Ancient Road.]

[This is clearly a one-way road to Hell!]
