As the divine artifact rankings continued to be announced…
Alfred heaved a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, the 52nd and 51st places aren’t beast tamers from the rebel army anymore.”
While Alfred was mentally heaving a sigh of relief, the ranking for the 50th place had been announced.
Based on the previous rankings, the Hundred Beasts Board would display the appearance of the divine artifact from the 50th place onwards.
As expected, the divine artifact list emitted thousands of rays of light.
Then, they were projected into the minds of everyone on the Blue Planet.
[ 50th place: The Comforting Summoner’s Cudgel ]
[ Owner’s Level: Beginner Stage 9 ]
[ Phase: Prime ]
[ Owner: Montchristopher Bootes ]
[ Reward: Both pet beast and its master will get 10 chances to comprehend the origin of elements ]
“Woosh!”
A broken ten-meter-long cudgel appeared within everyone’s minds.
One side of the cudgel had already been cut, and there were obscure runes engraved along the body of the cudgel.
The next instant, the projection began to ripple.
The projection had ended,
A beam of golden light surged out from the Divine Artifact Board and pierced through the air.
However, when they saw where the golden light landed, the beast tamers of the world were once again in shock.
“Damn it, what’s going on? Another beast tamer from the rebel army has made it into the rankings?”
“Montcristopher, another unfamiliar name. Could they be the rebel army’s secret trump card that has been exposed by the artifact board?”
“I think it’s possible. After all, the rebel army is a secretive bunch. Via these rankings, its clear that they’re up to no good!”
Before they knew it, a sudden sense of crisis and worry welled up in the hearts of all the factions.
‘Should this situation persist, wouldn’t the rebel army become too powerful to handle?’
‘They might even surpass all the major factions and become the major superpower of Blue Planet at this rate!’
Upon this thought, the many powerhouses on the Blue Planet turned their gazes towards the rebel army’s territory.
At the same time…
The rebel army were already celebrating their accomplishment with a grand feast.
“To think that the Montchristopher clan still exists!”
When the first elder of the rebel army saw the news, he could not help but dance with joy.
He was as excited as a child.
The Montchristopher clan was also the ancestor of the entire rebel army. They were a powerful family that had existed in the world since a long time ago.
Legend had it that every beast tamer in their clan possessed a divine artifact.
However, just like the Zaencrest clan, they had suddenly disappeared without a trace one day.
Nevertheless, they were back, and it seemed like they were stronger than ever.
“The Zaencrest clan and the Montchristopher clan have both been revived. Should any of the other ancient clans still exist, the rebel army will soon be unstoppable.”
The first elder was extremely excited.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind could be heard in the sky.
Many people subconsciously raised their heads to look.
They saw a divine bird that was emitting golden flames all over its body. It streaked across the distant sky and it was heading straight for the rebel army’s capital.
Swoosh!
In a blink of an eye, the divine bird that was emitting golden flames had appeared right before the First Elder eyes.
The person standing on top of the divine bird was a man who seemed to be in his forties.
“Zaencrest Harun, reporting for duty!”
“Hahaha, good, good!”
“Please rise. I never expected to meet another descendant of the Zaencrest bloodline within my lifetime!”
The first elder took the initiative to welcome him. The excitement on his face was beyond words.
“I also never expected for the Wilmot clan to still exist.”
Zaencrest Harun also had an excited expression on his face the moment he saw the First Elder.
Due to their fractured and incomplete history, no one from the rebel army had paid attention to the First Elder’s surname.
However, to those from the ancient clans, the First Elder’s surname was enough for them to pledge blind loyalty to the First Elder.
That was the authority that the “Wilmot” name held!
Throughout the rebel army, the First Elder was the only one who was a descendant of the Wilmot clan.
“Good, good. The Zaencrest clan had been missing in action for so long, I bet they didn’t expect you guys to take up 5 slots on the rankings the moment you returned!”
The First Elder laughed out loud.
“Did the Zaencrests make a pact with the Montchristophers to go into hiding?”
Zaencrest Harun furrowed his brows upon hearing the First Elder’s words. He responded indignantly, “First Elder, as you well know, both our great families had participated in the war of the ancient gods. The war was a calamitous one, and many deaths had ensued. In order to preserve our bloodlines, the Great God Rutherford sealed our families in a forbidden secret realm. It was for this reason alone that we barely escaped the calamity.”
Zaencrest Harun’s words had shocked everyone present.
After all, his words had shed some light on the rebel army’s mostly unknown history.
“Great God Rutherford? Is he a powerful god that existed in the Era of the Gods?”
Everyone became abnormally excited upon hearing Zaencrest Harun’s words. Moreover, they had also learned of the reason behind the Zaencrests’ disappearance.
“No, the Great God Rutherford was merely a member of the Zaencrest Clan who inherited his name.”
Zaencrest Harun shook his head slightly, “Nevertheless, the ancestor who inherited the name of the Great God Rutherford was close to reaching the Divine Realm.”
“!!!”
Everyone gasped upon hearing those words. If the inheritor of his name was already that powerful, then just how powerful was the actual Rutherford?
“Then where is the real Rutherford right now?””
Some curious individuals could not help but ask the question.
“The real Great God Rutherford?”
A trace of sadness flashed across Zaencrest Harun’s eyes.
“The real god of Rutherford has already fallen.”
“What? Even a god of his caliber has fallen?”
Everyone present found it hard to accept.
“How is this possible?”
Zaencrest Harun’s eyes suddenly lit up with great fury.
“The great god Rutherford used to be one of the most powerful beings during the Era of the Gods. Even Nabonel of the La Powo Palace, Russell of the Weizhou Bao Temple, and Adolf of the Oguapu Palace were no match for him.”
“Alas, our Great God Rutherford was ambushed by the other gods.”
