Just like the shock felt when seeing the world’s highest bid displayed in billions of dollars, the evolvers here were similarly stunned upon seeing the name of the strongest individual fighter on the board.
For these mid-tier evolvers in the apocalypse, they had heard many names among the top hundred listed, and some had even encountered a few of them. The introduction under each name considerably enhanced the credibility of the list, leading them to gradually form a recognition of it in their minds. The fact that the top position was held by an eight-star evolver, even if it was just a suspicion, solidified that recognition and trust completely.
Ye Zhongming knew in his heart that this list would eventually be acknowledged by all evolvers.
Naturally, the discussions surrounding the top individual from the divine hall were the most fervent. Everyone was speculating about his identity, whether his level was truly eight-star, where his divine hall was located, and what impressive battle records he had.
However, after the list was revealed, no one from the five rings society came forward to explain, leading to even greater speculation.
Not to mention others, even someone as indifferent as Gao Yi showed a hint of fervor upon seeing the top position.
At that moment, everyone understood why there were always so many contenders for the title of leader in martial arts novels.
Without a doubt, the head of the divine hall would become the most famous figure in the apocalypse.
“So that’s how it is; this is the pinnacle of the apocalypse,” one person exclaimed, his gaze sweeping over the names on the list as if trying to memorize them all.
“One day, I too will make the list!” the person muttered repeatedly, much to Ye Zhongming's amusement.
At this time, perhaps feeling that everyone had looked at the list long enough, two rows of five beautiful, tall women stepped out from the ‘entertainment area’ mentioned by the five rings society, inviting the evolvers inside while informing them that the rankings could also be studied there.
One after another, the evolvers entered, with Ye Zhongming and his companions being among the last.
“Boss, is the head of the divine hall really an eight-star?” Zhao Xiangxue finally asked after holding it in for a long time.
Ye Zhongming thought for a moment, “There is that possibility. You all know that they can piece together some eight-level beings. If they pause the production of other life forms and the operation of their organization, plus have a bit of luck when spinning the wheel, it is indeed possible to obtain an eight-star evolution potion.”
“Of course, this is just speculation. Even the five rings society isn’t certain, and neither can I.”
“Then…” Zhao Xiangxue hesitated, her short staff instinctively tapping her head.
Ye Zhongming shrugged it off, narrowing his eyes again at the high-ranking position.
“Should be able to give it a shot.”

Behind the walls constructed of light was a truly vast world.
It was unknown how it was arranged, but this entertainment area resembled a small village, complete with neat streets and various buildings. If one looked up, they could even see the starry sky.
It felt more like a bustling little town lit up by lamps than a cold subspace.
Even a well-traveled person like Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but admire the transformation carried out by the five rings society; it was hard to imagine that they could create such a place in such a short time.
The style… Ye Zhongming thought of that island from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie that gathered countless pirates, except this place was countless times cleaner and tidier.
Some neon signs were flickering, and there were either elegant or antique street lamps lining the roadside. The air was filled with a mix of alcohol and perfume, with a hint of gardenia fragrance.
Many people fell in love with this place at first sight.
Whether it was due to nostalgia for the past or the ability to forget their worries here, it was indeed the first time many found themselves in a setting reminiscent of peaceful times since the apocalypse began.
