A tremendous power that shook heaven and earth, intimidating all living beings.
The golden list slowly unfurled, stretching across millions of miles in the sky, covering all the sun, moon, and stars. No matter where one was, this List, which nearly replaced the sky, could be seen clearly.
Vastness and majesty coexisted.
Slowly, lines of text began to appear on the List, written beautifully, as if one could feel the absolute supreme will emanating from the text.
[Dimensional List The Manifestation of the World's Will]
[Records everything in the world]
[From now on, all Lists will be generated automatically]
[List Categories: Eternal Beauty List, Transcendent List, Divine Artifact List, Gods and Demons List...]
[Those who enter the List will receive different rewards based on their ranking.]
[...]
Instantly, whether gods, demons, youkai, or angels, all of them knew what this Dimensional List represented. At the same time, they also realized that some secrets in the world might be fully revealed.
Meanwhile, some ordinary humans who were shocked also became extremely excited and curious—the Eternal Beauty List, Excellence List, Gods and Demons List...
Could there really be things hidden deep in the world that ordinary people cannot see? And what about the figure that suddenly appeared below the Dimensional List earlier?!
Countless people wanted to immediately tear away the veil of mystery in the world.
"Manifestation of the World's Will!?"
Michael in Heaven murmured to himself.
The World's Will—this was the first time he had heard of it. Even when the Biblical God was still around, he had never heard a single word about it from her. It turns out this world operates with a unique consciousness, is it similar to the Heavenly System?
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"World Consciousness, various Lists..."
A girl with long black hair tied into two braids, gracefully cascading over both shoulders. She wore a red Gothic dress. Her waterfall-like bangs covered the left side of her extremely beautiful face, while her right eye, colored like red wine, was visible on the other side. In her hands, she held an antique-style rifle and pistol.
Around her, more than a dozen male corpses lay scattered.
"Ara ara... Now you can't run anymore."
Her soft lips, like sakura petals, formed a sickly smile, emanating a different kind of demonic allure.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"The world is truly about to face a great storm."
Ootomo Jin from the Onmyō Academy couldn't help but exclaim.
"Dimensional List..."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Regarding the emergence of the Dimensional List—some were worried, some were delighted, with varied reactions.
Especially some mythologies, forces, and organizations... They knew that with the appearance of the Dimensional List, some hidden assets and trump cards would also be exposed. Although this might create a slight deterrent effect, the fear of uncertainty they could instill in their enemies would also disappear.
Whether this is good or bad, only the future can judge.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
At the moment when everyone in the world, whether high gods above or powerless ordinary humans, were digesting the shock and news brought by the Dimensional List that was quite capable of changing the world's order.
The content of the Dimensional List covering the sky began to change.
[Eternal Beauty List Announcement Imminent]
[Records all captivating beautiful women in the world, evaluated based on four factors: appearance, ability, identity, and luck]
[Eternal Beauty List Updated once a month]
[Eternal Beauty List Beginning Recording—]
[Eternal Beauty List Recording in Progress—]
"..."
"It's starting to be announced this quickly; I thought we'd have to wait a few days."
"Eternal Beauty List..."
"I didn't expect the first one announced to be the Eternal Beauty List."
"..."
"Updated once a month, it seems the rankings on the Eternal Beauty List are not fixed."
"Using the Dimensional List as a guideline, it's indeed a form of fairness. I'm curious if those stars and divas can make it onto the List."
"The world's most beautiful goddess will soon be revealed."
"..."
At this moment, not only ordinary people, but many experts were also watching with great curiosity. They wanted to know who in this world could enter the List, and at the same time, they also wanted to see if the Dimensional List could truly record everything in the world as it 'claimed'.
Several dozen minutes later—
The text on the Dimensional List changed again.
[Eternal Beauty List—Officially Announced]
Instantly, everyone's spirits lifted. The long-awaited Eternal Beauty List finally began officially.
Some beautiful women in the world who felt their appearances were quite good all anticipated their names appearing on the Eternal Beauty List.
[Eternal Beauty List]
[Rank 100: Hayasaka Ai]
[Partner: None for Now]
[Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability]
A projection of a beautiful blonde girl with an exotic touch appeared in the empty space of the Dimensional List.
"Hayasaka Ai?"
"From her appearance, she looks like just a high school girl."
"..."
"Hayasaka Ai is a student at Shuchi'in Academy, and she's quite famous there."
"Even without makeup, her natural look can outshine those celebrities."
"This is only rank 100!"
"..."
Not long after Hayasaka Ai entered the List.
All information regarding Hayasaka Ai appeared in the hands of power holders from various mythologies, forces, organizations, even conglomerates. Since she was the first person to enter the List, the level of attention was naturally very high.
"From the prominent Hayasaka family..."
"Second-year student at Shuchi'in Academy, has a quarter Irish blood, exclusive maid to the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya!"
"Her father is an executive at the Shinomiya conglomerate..."
"..."
From family background to various life details, everything was recorded in great detail. They all sought to find out why Hayasaka Ai could enter the List.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, at the Shinomiya family residence.
"I really made it onto the List!"
Hayasaka Ai, dressed in her black-and-white maid outfit, stared at the information and projection of herself on the Dimensional List through the window in surprise.
Although she had always been quite confident in her appearance, there were too many beautiful people in the world; she never thought she could be one to enter the List.
"But, what is the Ghost-Seeing Ability?!"
Hayasaka frowned.
"The Ghost-Seeing Ability is the foundation for becoming an Onmyōji or an exorcist. Only those with the Ghost-Seeing Ability can see the existence of ghosts."
Kaguya walked up to Hayasaka and explained.
"Are there really demons and ghosts in this world?!"
Hayasaka asked in confusion.
"There are. And the appearance of this Dimensional List right before our eyes, doesn't that prove it?"
Kaguya looked at the Dimensional List outside the window with a meaningful gaze, then said to Hayasaka beside her.
"Congratulations, Hayasaka!"
For her exclusive maid who had grown up with her since childhood and shared a close bond, successfully entering the List—even if only at rank 100 on the Eternal Beauty List—Kaguya felt genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Only rank 100. The Young Miss's rank on the Eternal Beauty List must be far above mine."
No woman could avoid thoughts about their appearance, and Kaguya was no exception. She was also curious at this moment whether she could be one to enter the List, and if so, what rank she would be.
