The entry of humans into the tenth rank of the Transcendent List was indeed heartening news for humanity.
As gods, powerful individuals, and ordinary people all discussed Lavinia Reni, the tenth rank of the Transcendent List, from different perspectives.
The announcement of the Transcendent List continued.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
[Rank 9: Sairorg Bael]
[Race: Pure-Blooded Devil]
[Power: Supreme Level]
[Description: Successor to the Great King Bael clan, one of the new Four Great Devils of the new generation, called the strongest of the new generation, possesses extraordinary power and martial arts, nicknamed Lion King, owner of Longinus Regulus Nemea...]
[Rank Reward: Top-Tier Devil King Level Power (Can be integrated at will)]
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"That trash from the Great King clan who didn't inherit the Power of Destruction, yet he can enter the top ten of the Transcendent List. Cannot be underestimated."
Sairorg was a figure quite famous in the world, especially in the Underworld. Every clan and devil with a certain level knew that the Bael clan had produced a successor who didn't inherit even a bit of the Power of Destruction.
He was a stark contrast to his cousin, Sirzechs, who had become the Devil King Lucifer in the Underworld.
Meanwhile, Azazel, the Governor of the Fallen Angels, was instead worried about something else.
"The owner of Regulus Nemea and not the holder, or possesses?!"
Azazel held his chin and thought in confusion. Such an explanation, if examined, seemed somewhat unreasonable. After all, Longinus only had hosts, not specific owners. If one had to say who the owner of Longinus was, it was simply the Biblical God who created all Sacred Gears and gave them to protect humanity.
Moreover, logically, Sacred Gears should not be able to reside in pure-blooded devils like Sairorg, let alone Longinus. After all, Sacred Gears were created by the Biblical God specifically to protect humans and give them power to fight against god and demon races.
Although, after the disappearance of the Biblical God, the Heavenly System experienced various flaws, but this was a foundational rule of the Heavenly System. There had never been a case of Sacred Gears residing in pure-blooded devils.
"It seems I must investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Azazel had always had a great interest in Sacred Gears, immediately deploying his hidden spies in the Underworld to investigate the entire story of how Sairorg obtained Regulus Nemea.

"Two humans!!!"
With the announcement of the eighth and seventh ranks of the Transcendent List, the gods and powerful individuals were shocked. Previously, Lavinia's entry at the tenth rank of the Transcendent List had already slightly surprised many strong people. Unexpectedly, human prodigies repeatedly entered the top ten of the Transcendent List.
This time, humans occupied three seats in the top ten of the Transcendent List, which was completely beyond the expectations of the gods and powerful individuals.
What was even more astonishing happened next—
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
[Rank 6: Arthur Pendragon]
[Race: Human]
[Power: Supreme Level]
[Description: Descendant of King Arthur, nicknamed the Strongest Holy Knight. Wields Excalibur Ruler, the strongest of the seven fragments of the Holy Sword Excalibur, and also wields the Sword Caliburn, which can cut through space and is considered the strongest Holy Sword on the land, formerly a member of the Hero Faction, now has joined Vali's team...]

[Rank Reward: Top-Tier Devil King Level Power (Can be integrated at will)]
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Once again, two seats in the top ten of the Transcendent List were filled by human prodigies. This time, humans had occupied half of the top ten of the Transcendent List.
All gods and powerful individuals who saw this scene fell silent.
Clearly, this scene was quite shocking to them...
Meanwhile, ordinary people around the world exploded with joy.
"Five people, truly five people!!!"
"After this, anyone who dares to say that humans are not on par with god and demon races, I won't stand idly by."
"From now on, god and demon races might not dare to look down on humans anymore."
"...True!"
"Do you realize, from these five human prodigies in the top ten of the Transcendent List, four of them are related to the Hero Faction, and all are owners of what's called Longinus..."
"Hero Faction, Longinus..."
"Too many things hidden in the world that we don't know, like the Crimson Denizens and Flame Haze before..."
"...Yes! Previously we were still afraid of Crimson Denizens; now we know that humans have so many prodigies, what is there to fear? We humans are no longer victims to be slaughtered at will."
Arthur Pendragon, Lavinia Reni, Ikuse Tobio, Georg, Leonardo...
The announcement of these five existences in the top ten of the Transcendent List had significantly boosted the morale and confidence of ordinary people. The fear of Crimson Denizens that had previously been suppressed deep in their hearts was now completely gone.
"According to you, will the next top four ranks of the Transcendent List still be filled by human prodigies?"
"...Hard to say!"
"..."
Regarding whether the next ranks of the Transcendent List, even up to the top three, would see more human figures appear, let alone ordinary people who didn't know much about supernatural existences in the world, even gods and powerful individuals now dared not guarantee that no more humans would appear.
If at the beginning, there might still be some gods with narrow views saying: "This lowly and small human race, absolutely cannot compare to god and demon races like them."
However, now anyone who said something like that would truly become synonymous with ignorance and shortsightedness. After all, reality was displayed before their eyes, and no one could question the fairness of the Dimensional List.

Mount Sumeru.
Indra, the ruler of the Thirty-Three Heavens above, saw several children he knew on the Transcendent List and smiled faintly.
"These little children have all grown up. Indeed, heroes emerge in times of chaos. In some ways, the emergence of the Dimensional List and the impending return of the Biblical God, all of this is a sign of the coming chaotic era."
"More precisely, the chaotic era might have already arrived, just in a different manner."
Indra shifted his gaze from the Transcendent List and looked at this vast, boundless, and extremely beautiful Mount Sumeru.
"Some things must be prepared in advance..."
