Thus, it was unlikely to yield a bone dragon.

Bayou surmised it would result in an entirely new type of undead.

However, these creatures are exceedingly powerful, leaving Bayou with no opportunity to experiment firsthand.

Perhaps he would devise a plan to engage Na Xen in the future.

Bayou had already set her sights on Ya Xen, the angelic lord, and the esteemed lords surrounding her served as excellent subjects for her experiments.

As Bayu's influence in Hapne state continued to expand, it became increasingly inevitable that she would soon be unable to evade attention.

The sky gradually darkened and Bayu returned to the palace to partake in dinner with the three others.

During the meal, Chun Shu and Xiao Leian Shua engaged in laughter and conversation as if they were longtime friends, which structured foam is quite peculiar.

However, Bayu was blissfully unaware for her thoughts were elsewhere at that moment.

After dinner, Bayou ascended to her quarters to rest and the others dispersed.

The early hours of the morning marked the day for the leaderboard update.

Yet Bayou paid at no mind given her current statistics.

She did not believe anyone could surpass her.

Exhausted, Bayou fell into a deep slumber, not even waiting for the leaderboard to refresh.

Chapter 358.

The overall strength of a lord.

Although Bayu rose late once again today, she had achieved the rank of a second tier monarch.

As she opened the system panel to check the time, she found herself momentarily bewildered, completely oblivious to her state of undress while seated on her bed.

Had anyone been passing by outside the palace at that moment, they would have been treated to a view of this springtime scene.

Alas, there was no one around.

Why are there so many messages? Bayou noticed her private messages had reached a staggering 999 and friend requests had also accumulated to 999 without a second glance.

She hastily ignored them all with a single click.

Then she opened the system notifications in the lower right corner and she could surmise the reason for the influx of messages was the leaderboard update.

While perusing the system panel, she slipped out of bed, her bare feet making contact with the carpet as she headed to her wardrobe to dress.

The leaderboard has been refreshed.

This ranking will provide the most precise assessment of peak strength with all lords, free agents, traders, and vassals participating.

The leaderboard will remain permanently accessible.

Special notice.

No special rewards will be distributed for the leaderboard, but the top 10 lords will receive weekly bonuses of 10 attribute points with the first place receiving double and no upper limit.

An increasing number of local factions have begun to take notice of the various lords, strive to grow stronger.

After absorbing the content of the messages, Bayou dressed, and made her way downstairs in her flip-flops.

By this time, the three others had already finished breakfast and were engaged in leisurely conversation in the main hall.

Are the bosses here? Upon hearing the commotion, the trio turned to see by you approaching.

She casually pulled out a chair and stifling yawn sat down.

boss.

This time all four of us made it into the top 10.

Shua exclaimed joyfully.

It was her first time appearing on the leaderboard despite its frequent updates.

And as she observed the global chat, many lords were mistaking her for a newly emerged powerhouse.

The only thing vexing her was that Xiao Yinshu had ranked ahead of them.

However, upon reflection, it made sense.

With so many dwarven kings pledging allegiance to her, the ranking which measured comprehensive strength rather than individual prowess rendered Xiao Leian's position justifiable.

Is that so? Then we can earn attribute points weekly.

It's quite commendable that everyone ranked together this time.

Although the rewards have diminished by you remarked, realizing she had yet to check the ranking herself.

She then opened the leaderboard to review it.

First place Huang Fort, second place, Fallen Light.

Third place, Xiao's Orphans.

Fourth place, Sky Overlord.

Fifth place, Dragon Rising Across the Miles.

Sixth place, Phoenix Dancing in the Heavens.

Seventh place, Achieving Buddhahood.

Eighth place, Breaking Illusions.

Ninth place, Otaku, Sun-in-Law, 10th place, Baldhead.

Bayou found the rankings rather amusing.

No wonder the Alliance is so quiet.

Perhaps Du Yang is feeling down knowing that his two allies hold the first and second positions while he languishes in seventh.

She could almost visualize Du Yangs expression, oblivious to the fact that Lee Lings's rank was bolstered by the elf king, placing her at second.

However, under the pressure exerted by Nyahan, her ranking surprisingly still occupies one of the last three positions, which indicates that the current hierarchy of lords has already crystallized.

It is evident that these lords are no longer a match for Bayou.

Among the top 10, half are Bayou<unk>s own followers and two are allies, leaving only Nia Xen, an adversary lord with formidable potential.

Aside from a need for Bayou to keep a vigilant eye on Nyx, the other lords are scarcely worth a glance.

They are simply too weak.

At present, Nyxin does not pose a threat.

Yet by you would never wait for her to grow strong before confronting her.

Do you think you're the protagonist? My friend, let me tell you.

I awoke today to receive a plethora of messages with 99 individuals wanting to acknowledge me as their elder brother.

Shenue experienced the sensation of becoming an internet celebrity overnight for the first time.

This group of lords is rather peculiar.

Despite their evident weakness, they remain oblivious to the urgent need for growth content merely to linger in their chat group.

Xiao Yianshi remarked with a hint of sarcasm.

But Chun immediately shot her a fierce glare and huffed in silence.

You were just like them.

If it weren't for so many dwarf king level allies, would you even rank third? Chonu could only mentally grumble as she recognized that Xiao Yinua was responsible for logistics while their siblings were combat personnel, a distinction that made their situations inherently different.

After surviving the beast tide, these lords have resorted to a languid existence, prioritizing mere survival over ambition, Chunfong raised his hands in a gesture of helplessness, lamenting that world chat have become their sole source of entertainment.

Not only do these lords neglect their own efforts, but they also indulge in daydreams, attempting to latch onto the coattails of those in the top 10 rankings.

For what harm is there in trying? What if a powerful figure were to accept them? This reflects their typical gambleres mentality reminiscent of beggars in a past life who dream of being taken in by wealthy benefactors.

Is this realistic? Who would take in a useless waistrol? Nevertheless, this presents a splendid opportunity for Nia Xin to attract other lords.

While the majority on the leaderboard reject these lords, the acceptance of Nia Xin and her companions is sure to draw more individuals to their cause.

This would grant her a greater reservoir of faith power, thereby accelerating her strengths growth.

Yet, it is not guaranteed.

Which of the surviving lords is a survivor of the most cunning sort? How could they easily change allegiance, especially upon discovering that the other party belongs to the top 10? The process of winning Nia Xin over would undoubtedly be fraught with challenges, and Bayu would be even less inclined to assist.

The pathways among the three major continents are more than sufficient.

Currently, the content of world chat predominantly revolves around the rankings.

There is you, the leader, and then there are the three of us as our names have never appeared before.

Thus, we have now achieved celebrity status.

Indeed, every moment lords are adding friends, and I finally comprehend why you, the leader, chose to mute system notifications.

They are genuinely bothersome.

Chun feigned a look of distress.

Yet the upward curve of her lips was nearly impossible to suppress.

On the past, they were merely aware of the formidable prowess of these top lords.

Now, with the advent of a precise ranking of their strengths, there are no longer any foolish lords debating who reign supreme.

Xiao Inshua diligently follows the global chat daily as this topic is a staple of their discussions.

The ranking has effectively silenced them.

This leaderboard will persist into the future, offering the advantage of clearly delineating the current power levels of the lords.

Bayou is well acquainted with the top seven, each fully aware of one another's capabilities.

As the foremost among them, he occupies the highest imperial rank, indicating that the current lords are merely at the initial to intermediate royal levels.

The growth period for the lords has been far too brief, rendering them quite weak.

Bayou has perused the leaderboard, but he cannot scroll to the bottom as the system does not disclose the total number of participants.

He had initially hoped to seize this opportunity to ascertain how many lords remain.
