Brother Who Determines the Fate of the Nation: My Great Emperor's Cultivation Level Exposed by

The text on the gold scroll continued to flip upwards.

100th.

Eightieth place.

Sixtieth place.

The moment each name appears, it triggers an earthquake-like reaction somewhere in the world.

[97th Place: Chanapong, Siam, Occupation: Ace Fighter in Underground Boxing. Overall Rating: D+.]

In the live broadcast room in Siam, countless Siamese citizens cheered with joy.

A faint golden light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Siamese girl on the deserted island, transforming into a small pile of clean food and fresh water.

That was the tangible reward brought about by the increase in national fortune on the first day.

The list continues to flip.

The higher the ranking, the more shocking the identities of the brothers.

[72nd Place: Persia, Daryush, Occupation: Elite Intelligence Agent. Overall Rating: C-.]

[58th Place: Nkosi, South Africa; Occupation: Deputy Commander of the International Mercenary Group; Overall Rating: C.]

[Rank 43: France, Louis de Montfort, Occupation: CEO of the European Security Group. Overall Rating: C+.]

The French livestream room instantly went wild.

"Lord Louis is on the list, number forty-third!"

"As expected of the heir to the Montfort family, a C+ rating already indicates above-average talent!"

Every time the rankings are updated, one country goes into a frenzy of celebration.

The moment she was bathed in golden light, the supplies her sister received on the deserted island also became more and more abundant, gradually transforming from a small pile of food and water into tents, medicine, and even simple defensive weapons.

at the same time.

In the official live stream of the Dragon Kingdom, the hearts of 1.4 billion people were about to jump out of their chests.

100th place, none.

Eightieth place, none.

Sixtieth place, still none.

The barrage of comments started as overwhelming, gradually became sparse, and eventually almost stopped.

Everyone was holding their breath.

"Fiftyth place...we're not there yet..."

"Fortieth place... Oh my god, fortieth place already!"

"Wait, have you considered this possibility...? If the Dragon Kingdom isn't on the list after all the rankings have been released, it means Su Xuan isn't on it at all. But what if..."

"What if he's ahead of us?"

The moment this comment appeared, the entire live stream exploded.

"That's impossible! How could someone who's been dead for three years rank so high?"

"But the facts are right in front of us. China is already in 40th place and hasn't even appeared yet. What other explanation is there besides a higher ranking?"

"But he's just a construction worker! He didn't even finish junior high!"

"I don't care anymore, this is my only hope now, please, let's get into the top twenty!"

The list is still being scrolled through.

Thirty-fifth place.

30th place.

28th place.

The Dragon Kingdom remains absent.

Now, it's not just the Chinese who are getting restless.

In the live stream of the American country, the netizens who were originally full of pride paused for a moment while typing.

"Wait a minute... why hasn't that dead brother from the Dragon Kingdom shown up yet?"

"No, shouldn't he be a joke? How come he's already past thirtieth place and still no name?"

"Calm down. Maybe he's not even on the list. The system just excluded the dead."

"Then why is a country like Siam included? If it's excluded, it should just show as inapplicable."

An eerie silence spread through the live stream room in the United States.

On the Japanese mainland, the netizen who was just talking loudly also shut up.

He stared at the decreasing rankings on the screen, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table.

"Twenty-one already..."

desert island.

Su Ruoruo looked up at the surging golden characters in the sky.

One hundred, eighty, fifty, thirty.

There is no brother's name.

Her fingers were gripping her knees so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

Not here, still not here.

How could someone who has been dead for three years possibly have their name on such a list?

She had already prepared herself mentally and told herself not to have any hope.

But as those names were skipped over one by one, and the words "Dragon Kingdom" never appeared, she still hoped to see that familiar name.

"elder brother……"

She buried her face in her knees, her lips moving silently.

Are you really not here?

Just then.

Above the sky, the golden scroll suddenly trembled.

A violent tremor spread outwards from the center of the reel, and the air on the entire deserted island became thick and heavy in that instant.

Immediately afterwards, a golden beam of light, ten times larger than any before, shot up from the center of the scroll and pierced straight into the clouds.

The entire sky was dyed pure gold.

That solemn declaration once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"The top twenty are officially announced."

"The top twenty on the list will receive an S-level national fortune boost on the first day, as well as an incredible personal enhancement reward."

These two sentences were spoken.

The number of viewers in all live streams worldwide doubled in 0.3 seconds.

The highest command center of the Dragon Kingdom.

In front of the huge circular command platform, more than a dozen high-ranking officers dressed in general's uniforms all stood up.

No one spoke, no one moved.

All eyes were fixed on the enormous screen that occupied the entire wall.

On the screen, the golden shimmer of the reel was so bright that it caused a slight overexposure in the camera.

An elderly general with gray hair rested his hands on the table and leaned forward.

"If Su Xuan is really in the top twenty..."

"Then he is a national hero!"

The moment the golden beam of light shot into the sky, the first name appeared on the scroll.

[20th Place: Pharaoh's Kingdom, Amun-Rahman, Occupation: Heir to the Royal Tomb Guardian Bloodline. Overall Rating: A-.]

The Pharaoh Kingdom's live stream room exploded instantly, with tens of millions of people simultaneously erupting in deafening cheers.

"Lord Amon, he is actually the bloodline heir of the thousand-year-old royal tomb!"

"Top 20! Our Pharaoh's Kingdom has made it into the top 20!"

Above the deserted island, a golden beam of light landed precisely in front of the Pharaoh's chosen one.

As the light faded, a complete set of desert camouflage combat clothing, three days' worth of high-calorie rations, a scimitar inlaid with ancient inscriptions, and a small bottle of liquid emitting a pale golden glow appeared out of thin air on the ground.

S-level national fortune increase.

These are truly incredible resources.

All the countries that haven't made the list yet are green with envy.

The reel continues to turn.

[19th Place: Bullfighting Nation, Miguel de la Cruz, Occupation: Undefeated Champion of the International Underground Fighting Arena. Overall Rating: A-.]

[18th Place: Palm Country, Abdul bin Salman, Occupation: De facto controller of a Middle Eastern arms syndicate. Overall Rating: A-.]

Each name that appeared was accompanied by a golden beam of light descending.

The rewards are getting more and more generous each time.

In the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room, the chat was almost completely silent. No one cursed anymore, no one mocked anymore, everyone was counting.

Eighteenth place, none.

Seventeenth place, none.

Sixteenth place, still none.

"Damn, it's the sixteenth already..."

"My hands are shaking, my heart can't take it."

"Please, show yourself! Su Xuan, show yourself!"

The barrage of comments was overwhelming, and the list of winners continued to be published.

Fourteenth place: India.

Thirteenth place, Brazil.

12th place, Persia.

They are all the top talents from their respective countries, and their identities are all incredibly impressive.

The Dragon Kingdom is still gone.

In the live stream of the American country, the netizen who kept sending sarcastic comments had his finger hovering above the keyboard, not yet dropping it.

The person next to him typed a question to him.

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

He stared at the screen for three seconds and replied.

Something's not right.

"What's wrong?"

"How could a dead man possibly overpower the commander of Alpha Group?"

No one replied to him.

Because everyone is thinking about the same question.

The atmosphere in the live stream room in Japan was completely different.

The comments section was filled with unanimous enthusiasm and confidence.

"We're ranked twelfth now, and our Lord Hanzo hasn't appeared yet. We've got this in the bag!"

"The actual controller of the Shadow Consortium, the strongest swordsman of our time—his top three rankings are no surprise!"

"Just wait, you'll soon see our Sakura Nation completely crush the competition!"

desert island.

Nestled among the tree canopy, Yukina leaned against a thick branch, gazing up at the swirling golden characters in the sky. Moonlight bathed her ninja attire, casting a cold, silvery-white glow.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Not urgent.

The later it appears, the higher its ranking.

Her brother, Miyamoto Hanzo, should definitely be in the top three.

At that time, she will receive the ultimate reward on this deserted island, and these insect-like opponents will not even be worthy of carrying her shoes.

The reel jerked violently.

It was more intense than ever before.

The golden text reformed, and two large characters appeared above everyone's heads.

【Top 10】

The breaths of eight billion people around the world stopped at that moment.

[10th Place: William Arthur Pendragon of the British Empire, Occupation: Current Grand Master of the Knights of the Round Table. Overall Rating: A+.]

The live stream from the country where the sun never sets crashed.

"God help you, Lord William! Grand Master of the Knights of the Round Table!"

"A+ rating! Top ten! We, the British Empire, have finally returned to our rightful place!"

Above the deserted island, the golden beam of light falling toward the chosen ones of the British Empire was more than three times thicker.

After the light faded, a set of silver-white lightweight power armor covered the blonde girl's body.

The rewards for the top ten are terrifying!

[Ninth Place: Hans Cat Kingdom, Frank von Hohenheim, Occupation: Chief Engineer of Mech Development for the Federal Armed Forces. Overall Rating: A+.]

The reward for the Chosen One of the Hanscat Kingdom was even more extravagant: a miniature tactical mech in its folded state fell directly from the golden light, crashing onto the beach and stirring up a cloud of dust.

[Eighth Place: France, Jean-Baptiste Leclerc, Occupation: Legendary French Foreign Legion Soldier, Codename "Guillotine". Overall Rating: S-.]

The S-level rating appeared for the first time.

The moment the chosen one of the Gallic Kingdom was enveloped in golden light, she immediately fainted. The transformation to a superhuman physique was too drastic; her body needed time to adapt to that power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

[Seventh Place: Vikram Singh from India, Occupation: Ascetic in the Himalayan Secret Realm, has surpassed human limits. Overall Rating: S-.]

One by one.

They're all monsters.

No one spoke in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room.

The live chat completely stopped.

1.4 billion people stared at their screens, not daring to breathe.

We're in seventh place now.

Su Xuan's name has not yet appeared.

What does this mean?

Is Su Xuan in the top six?

She couldn't believe the ranking!

But the facts speak for themselves.

Inside the highest command center of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Besides the leaked surface information, what other content is in Su Xuan's SS-level top-secret file?"

The intelligence chief shook his head.

"That's it, General. We've searched all the databases, and Su Xuan's file only has that one page. No criminal record, no military service record, nothing unusual. He was just an ordinary young migrant worker from the countryside who died in a car accident three years ago, nothing more."

The old general slowly closed his eyes.

"Then there's only one possibility."

"There is something about this young man that we know nothing about."

On the scroll, the words for sixth place began to slowly coalesce.

The golden light flourishes.

Eight billion eyes around the world are fixed on that name that is taking shape.

Su Ruoruo also raised her head.

The golden light fell on her face, revealing two silent tear tracks.

The text for the sixth place has been fully formed.

[Sixth Place: ...]
