«Congratulations! Player Lightning Emperor, Player White Lotus, and Player Fiery Queen has become the first players to have cleared Skeleton Graveyard!»
The sudden announcement shocked many players, but it was not because they were the first to clear this dungeon but because three different families from the Legacy Ranking were grouped together! In other words, they were cooperating, something that is rarely seen by the public, if ever.
"Holy shit! Three of the top 10 families within the Legacy are actually cooperating to clear a dungeon together!"
"Perhaps they have decided to make an alliance to bring down this Player Yuan?"
"That is a possibility..."
Many players gossiped about the new announcement online, some even making conspiracies. The Legacy Ranking is a system in the real world — or a real-world ranking so to speak, where professional players fight each other competitively to obtain a spot within the Legacy Ranking.
There can only be 100 players in the Legacy Ranking, ranked one to one hundred. Being a part of the Legacy Ranking brings countless profits and almost no downfalls. Wealth, fame, authority, power — one can obtain all that just by being in the Legacy Ranking. Additionally, once a player becomes a part of the Legacy Ranking, regardless of their rank, their family will also become a Legacy Family, allowing them to recruit talented players to help them remain or climb the ranks within the Legacy Ranking, almost like a guild or clan in games.
Countless players, young and old, fight in worldwide tournaments just to obtain the qualifications to challenge someone who is within the Legacy Ranking to steal their spot. Furthermore, only one game would be chosen every decade as the focus. Because of this, the rankings would usually have major changes every decade, except for those at the very top of the ranking.
The game the Legacy Ranking had chosen to be the main focus for this decade was obviously Cultivation Online, the hottest VRMMORPG in the world to date.

Moments after the announcement, another one appears above the clouds.
«Congratulations! Player Xiong Lu has obtained the world's first Spirit grade equipment!»
"He's finally appeared, huh." Lightning Emperor narrowed his gaze at the name on the announcement.
Xiong Lu of the Heaven's Divinity, standing at the top of the Legacy Ranking as the number one Player in this world. He is a major figure even in the real world, owning one of the biggest gaming companies out there.
"Even an unsurpassable monster like him could only obtain the lowest grade equipment in this game after so many hours... yet this Yuan..." Fiery Queen sighed loudly.

"Xiao Hua, what are the grades for equipment?" Yuan asked her after the announcement disappeared.
"Spirit, Earth, Heaven, Divine, each broken into four tiers of quality: Low, Medium, High, and Peak. There are other grades higher than Divine, but there is no need to worry about that since you can only find them in the higher realms."
"Realm... you also mentioned that before. What did you mean by bringing me to the next realm?"
"Brother Yuan is currently in the lowest realm — the Lower Heaven. Xiao Hua's job is to help Brother Yuan reach the highest realm — the Supreme Heaven."
"Your job?" He questioned. Why and who would give her such a job?
"Xiao Hua accepted the Supreme Heaven's Legacy, so it became her job to find a successor."
