“To think he’s actually a human!”
Meng Lei was amazed by the fact. Then, his gaze continued downward.
“No. 2: Augustine Kroc, Human, 30 years old, Level 76”
“Augustine Kroc...” Meng Lei was startled. “Kroc? This last name looks so familiar to the eye...”
“That’s the last name of us, Krocs!”
Ol’ Amos’ voice rang out in his ear. Meng Lei turned to see that the old man had suddenly emerged and spoken.
“In other words, this ferocious guy ranked second is actually from the Kroc clan?” Meng Lei was astonished.
Ol’ Amos replied softly, “Augustine is my father!”
“Y-your father?”
Meng Lei’s mouth fell open as he asked, “Ol’ President, the Augustine that’s ranked second is your father?”
“Yes! That’s my father, indeed!”
Ol’ Amos’ countenance was filled with pride as he said, “I told you, my father was a cultivation genius!
“He started his cultivation journey at 10 years old, became a Ninth-Grade Warrior at 16, and even successfully promoted to a Saint Domain when he was 26!
“Before this little fellow named Timon Barton had appeared, Father was Dragon God Empire’s number one genius in history!”
“Wow, my Ol’ President’s dad is way impressive!”

“No. 3: Goblen Frederick, Golden Colossal Dragon, 29 years old, Level 75”
“No. 4: Horace Frederick, Golden Colossal Dragon, 30 years old, Level 75”
“No. 5: Alex Frederick, Golden Colossal Dragon, 30 years old, Level 75”
“No. 6...”
As Meng Lei skimmed through the ranking, apart from the first and second places, everyone in the top ten places bore the last name of Frederick, and all of them were Golden Colossal Dragons!
It was only at 11th place that a Black Dragon finally appeared. After that, the Golden Colossal Dragons with the Frederick last name started to hog the ranking again.
“Frederick is the last name of the Dragon God Empire’s royalty.” Ol’ Amos explained, “All the Golden Colossal Dragons on the ranking are from the royal family. More than half of the top 100 places, no, the first few hundred places are actually all Golden Colossal Dragons. How incredible!”
Meng Lei stared at the ranking, finding it rather mind-boggling. There were countless geniuses in the massive Dragon God Empire; even with that many people around, were they still unable to match up to a few Golden Colossal Dragons?
“This is a very normal sign.” A smiling Ol’ Amos replied, “As royalty among the Dragons, the talent that the Golden Colossal Dragons possess isn’t something that other races can compare to.
“In the entire Heaven’s Vault Continent, only a few races—such as the Thunder Titans of the Titan Empire, the Golden Behemoths of the Beast People Empire, and the royal Fairies of the Fairy Empire—can compare to them.
“Although there are only very few Golden Colossal Dragons in each generation, every single one of them is amazingly talented. After all, Golden Colossal Dragons are one of the only few races that become Saint Domains the moment they turn of age.”
“They are Saint Domains the moment they turn of age?”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly in disbelief before he continued to browse the ranking.
“Ol’ President, you’re actually ranked 689th place?”
“My talent is only average.”
After going through the ranking, Meng Lei now had a rough understanding of the whole ranking—60% of them were Colossal Dragons, 30% of them were Drakes, 9% of them comprised other races, and only 1% of them were humans.
Judging from the ranking alone, the Colossal Dragons had a much stronger gift and talent than humans and the other races. With 60% of the ranking made up of Colossal Dragons and 30% made up of Drakes, it came up to a total of 90%—this wasn’t just any ordinary gap!
“The humans are so tragic. They don’t even make up 1%!”
“That’s for sure! From the start, humans already have the poorest talent. Despite them having the largest population, there is only a scarce number of true geniuses!”
A human contestant sighed emotionally with a shake of his head.
Are humans’ talents really that poor?
Meng Lei had nothing to say to their comments. However, he held a different view inwardly. In terms of talent, while there was admittedly a gap between humans and Colossal Dragons, the root of the issue causing a gap like that wasn’t their talent. Rather, It was their... social statuses!
In the Dragon God Empire, humans were in the bottommost tier of the social hierarchy, leading to a situation where 99% of humans had no chances of cultivating at all. Even if people with amazing talent had emerged, who would have known?
In comparison, despite there being only a scarce number of Colossal Dragons, they still hogged 99% of the cultivation resources available nevertheless. Wasn’t it a matter of course for them to place in the ranking?
If humans were allowed the opportunity to cultivate someday, that so-called Dragon God Genius Ranking would definitely undergo a dramatic change!
Meng Lei held rather complex feelings toward the issue.
Then, he looked at the Dragon God Tower entrance and saw a team of golden-armored sentries guarding the entrance.
Many contestants from the kingdoms and dukedoms were currently gathered at the entrance, each and every one of them all geared up and eager to give the tower a shot.
A golden-armored sentry asked, “Is this the first time all of you are going into the Dragon God Tower?”
“Yes, it is!”
“Since this is your first time going in, I am obligated to inform you of a few things.
“Firstly, it is very dangerous in the Dragon God Tower. A moment of carelessness could lead to death. You must be fully prepared before you go in.
“Secondly, all the magic circles leading to the next levels are located at the areas where magic elements are the richest and densest, and the most powerful native
