Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 217 The Contest of Seeking God
The eighteenth rank in the martial arts system, also known as the World Realm, is the final realm reached by Fang Ping, the protagonist of the high-martial arts world. It allows one to create and control a stable world, and to roam freely in chaos. One can establish their own rules; as long as the world exists, power can be infinitely replenished, granting immortality and eternal life. Isn't this the immortality that Fang Yuan sought?

Of course, the transcendence realm in the cultivation world is a similar level. However, both transcendence and the world realm are special realms, which only the corresponding Venerable White, Song Shuhang, Fang Ping, and Cang Mao have reached.

Wuming doesn't need immortality yet; what he needs is a complete cultivation system that trains him in controlling energy. A cultivation system that comprehensively develops morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, mind, and methods would perfectly suit his needs.

In particular, the basic True Self Meditation method greatly improved Wuming's control over his吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism) energy after he mastered it, which enabled him to reach the fourth level.

Nathan Island.

The royal city in the central region is simple and imposing, with walls made of rough, massive stones carved with ancient and mysterious totems, full of the indigenous people's worship of the forest god.

The palaces within the city are scattered throughout, their roofs decorated with carvings symbolizing the sacred tree. Every detail reflects reverence and respect for the sacred tree, and the overall architecture exudes a sense of historical vicissitude and sanctity.

The divine tree is undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence in the royal city. It is tall and towering, with strange light shimmering on its branches. Its roots are deeply embedded in the ground, as if it has merged with the entire island, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

The roots of the Divine Tree are spread throughout Nathan Island and cannot be easily destroyed. Among the people of the Divine Tree, the Divine Tree will select those with the qualities of sacrifice to become the King and Guard of Nathan. Challengers will also enter the cycle of sacrifice after breaking a golden branch. The King, Guards, and Challengers are all nourishment for the Divine Tree.

King Nathan's palace is located at the site of the sacred tree. The building is magnificent and splendid, and the golden decorations gleam in the sunlight, demonstrating the supreme power of the king. Surrounding the palace are the residences of the Nathan Guards, which are heavily guarded and protect the core of the royal city.

The Nasen Island people revere their supreme queen, who is guarded by nine "Nasen Guards." The current Nasen Queen is Li Muxuan's granddaughter. This is also why Qiao Mu, Zhang Chulan, and others came here; Li Muxuan is here.

Now, standing in their way are the Nason Guards, each with their own unique abilities. They have also successfully located Li Muxuan. Since they are not interested in Nason Island, a fight has not broken out.

However, they didn't leave with Li Muxuan immediately, because before they could even discuss anything, the live stream from Japan had already started. Compared to Li Muxuan's situation, everyone, including Zhang Chulan, was more interested in the commotion in Japan.

Li Muxuan was utterly bewildered. A group of people had come on strong, specifically looking for him by name. But when he came out, these guys went back to their corners and looked at their phones. This was blatant disrespect for him, Old Li—this was intolerable!

The elderly Li Muxuan, enraged, charged forward, only to be soundly beaten by Xu Yiguan, Qiao Mu, and other transmigrators. He had disturbed their livestream, and in his annoyance, he hadn't held back.

The Behemoth forces, who had already arrived at the edge of Nathan Island, were also drawn to the commotion in Fusang and temporarily suspended their operations on Nathan Island. Originally, the Behemoth faction was ranked first on the entire world stage.

Furthermore, Behemoth made no attempt to conceal this, and even proclaimed it constantly. Ambitious and arrogant, Behemoth always adopted a condescending attitude towards other forces. Whether it's a case of the righteous gaining support and the unrighteous losing it, or the saying "the tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind," Behemoth gradually became a target of public criticism.

But things are different now. The destructive power of the battles between these people who emerged from the Eastern superpower and the gods of Fusang is no less than that of a nuclear bomb. They are not the superhumans they underestimated at all.

In the original storyline of *Under One Person*, the Nathan Island arc most prominently highlights the differences between superhumans and modern technology. The conversation between the magician White and Spencer before White went to Nathan Island is quite interesting. This genius of the Emerald Society was unbeatable by wizards, magicians, and alchemists of the time, yet he was defeated by ordinary people. This caused White to question his life and fall into a slump. The powerful weapons brought by technological advancements defeated the black magic White believed in, completely shattering his arrogance that placed him above black magic and inferior to ordinary people.

With the development of technology, the power difference brought about by supernatural abilities has become very small. In the face of firearms, no matter how skilled one is, they can be taken down with a single shot. If they are not taken down, the caliber can be increased. The power advantage of supernatural beings is almost gone. In the face of the absolute truth of firepower, supernatural abilities are vulnerable in terms of strength.

And now, a group of people has demonstrated to the world unparalleled, extraordinary power that surpasses most technologies. The destructive force they have unleashed is something only the most destructive weapons in human history could achieve.

This prompted nations around the world to simultaneously focus on the developments in Japan and delve into the deities worshipped in their own countries. They couldn't control the people emerging from the great Eastern power, but the Japanese deities appearing in the skies above Japan were genuine indigenous gods.

This proves that the gods in their myths and legends do exist. This instantly ignited a frenzy of religious fervor around the world, especially in countries covered by the Olympian and Greek mythologies, where people practically dug up the ground to search for their gods.

In a sense, the search for one's own deity by different countries can be seen as a form of arms race. And in this context, one country finds itself in a rather awkward position.

That's right, it's the land of the Ugly Kingdom, the master of Bethmoth. Although they are a superpower in the world, they have a ridiculous mythological history. If you were to search for ancient gods on this land, you'd probably find a bunch of Native American gods.

"Wait, are all the superhumans outside this powerful now?" Li Muxuan had watched the live broadcast of the Luo Tian Grand Tournament before. Su Yun had Gao Yushan broadcast it nationwide, such a big commotion, even the superhumans on Nasen Island were paying attention. Nasen Island is just a bit remote, not a closed country.

Li Muxuan stared in disbelief at the ruins of Tokyo. He had thought that after decades of arduous training on Nathan Island, he would at least be among the top ten, if not the best in the world.

Especially that entrance move like Zuo Men Chang's triple suspended motion—do you know how long he secretly practiced it! And yet, at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, someone else beat him to it. And that opponent used the proper Reverse Life Triple Technique; he didn't even have a chance to argue.

Now, seeing the intensity of these people's fighting, Li Muxuan wondered if he had been isolated from the world for too long. Looking at it this way, hiding on Nathan Island wasn't so bad after all.

As individuals with supernatural abilities who could communicate with the outside world, Nasen Guards naturally watched the live broadcast from Fusang after Zhang Chulan and the others decided not to approach. The destructive power of the battle silenced everyone; if this level of destruction were to erupt on Nasen Island, the entire island would likely be destroyed.

Xu Yiguan and the others remained remarkably calm. There were so many derivative worlds within *Under One Person*, and these guys either had more powerful cheat codes or had cultivated for longer. Take Xu Yiguan himself as an example; once he became a Great Divine Power user, he could easily annihilate the mere Fusang realm.

There are also two other transmigrators with the template of a Navy Admiral. Their template progress has reached 100%, and when they can exert the full strength of a Navy Admiral, they also have the third-tier strength to destroy an island.

The gap between the supernatural powers and modern technology in this world is too vast. Even a Mauser pistol from decades ago could threaten the lives of superhumans, let alone modern technology. This is why veteran superhumans like Li Muxuan were so shocked by the destructive power of Yi Qing and his companions.

Li Muxuan looked at Zhang Chulan and the others. If he remembered correctly, these guys said they were here to take him back to the mainland. But with monsters like these everywhere, what use was there for him to come out of the mountains?
