At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Charlotte stood up and said, "That's right, isn't there a ranking of extraordinary individuals on Earth? And each country also has its own national ranking."

"The fifth-tier extraordinary individual, ranked second on Earth and first in Xia Country, has advanced to the sixth tier, so a grand celebration was held to welcome extraordinary individuals from all over the world who wish to participate. Distinguished guests from various countries received special formal invitations."

"Oh, I see. You've advanced to the sixth rank! I'm so envious. Now you can really live forever," Aikofei said enviously.

She is only at the fourth level now. Every superhuman knows very well the superhuman ranks, and the difference between each rank is like the difference between worlds.

Although the fourth rank is already very strong, it is still essentially an ordinary person. It is only at the fifth rank that one begins to become a 'longevity species'.

"Well, I'd like to participate, but I have too many things to do, so I have to decline," Leosley sighed.

“Me too, I still need to track down the Fallen.” Clarind shook her head.

Funina stood up and put her hands on her hips: "You all go ahead. Fontaine has me and Navilet. It's only a few days. Let Navilet be busy."

"This is the first time that the most prosperous country on Earth has extended an invitation to Fontaine, and you are also prominent figures in Fontaine. When you arrive in Xia Kingdom, please give Fontaine a boost in prestige."

“This…” Leosley and Claurind hesitated.

"Don't be too tense. Take this opportunity to experience the prosperity of Earth," Funina said with a smile. "Make some friends along the way; it might bring some benefits to Fontaine in the future."

Of course she'll go too, but not as a deity; she'll have to disguise herself properly.

The celebration of a sixth-tier hero's advancement only happens once every few years, and she certainly didn't want to miss it.

Moreover, Lord Tenri might also disguise himself as an ordinary person to participate.

……

Meanwhile, near Phobos.

A spaceship the size of a frigate slowly reduced its speed.

Inside the ship's cabin, a 14-person diplomatic team is conducting radar surveys of Phobos.

It took them more than half a month to fly here from Earth. In addition to sending an invitation to the Liyue civilization on Mars, they also wanted to explore Phobos and Deimos, which are now large moons, as well as the flora and fauna on Mars.

As for how they managed to get back in two days...

This was mainly a solution devised by the immortals, who obtained a teleportation anchor point from a deity in charge of "construction".

By placing this 'teleportation anchor' on a ley line node on Mars, travel between Mars and Earth can be made possible.

On Earth, there are now teleportation anchors that appear every few cities; now there are teleportation anchors on the moon too.

However, the 'teleportation anchor' has some limitations. Second- and third-tier superhumans can travel to any place on Earth through it, but they do not have the authority to teleport between planets, not even between Earth and the Moon.

Only 'fourth-tier' superhumans can teleport between planets.

Perhaps this is a restriction imposed by the gods to prevent unnecessary conflicts between civilizations, using distance to establish a sense of boundary between civilizations on different planets.

"Phew, we're almost there! I almost thought we'd miss our chance." Wang Wucheng wiped his sweat, looking at the blue-green Mars visible through the spaceship's cockpit glass. At this point, Mars was basically a smaller version of Earth; it was absolutely beautiful.

"Look, Commander Wang, that enormous Mount Olympus! Lava is spewing out of the atmosphere! It's spectacular!" A diplomat excitedly pointed to Mars.

"Alright, alright, stop watching. If you want to see something, wait until after landing to watch the video. We're about to enter Mars' gravitational capture range. Everyone back in position, fasten all safety harnesses," Wang Wucheng said seriously.

"Qinglong spacecraft, close the shield!"

[The Qinglong spacecraft will enter the Martian atmosphere in three minutes. Please be aware.]

[Descent location: 30 nautical miles from Liyue Harbor Bay.]

Phobos, the first of Mars.

Phobos also has an atmosphere, but it is uninhabitable for ordinary people. However, it doesn't matter to immortals and gods. Many immortals in Liyue have moved their 'cave dwellings' to the two Martian moons.

Although Mars' two moons are only a little over 100 kilometers in diameter and do not have planetary status, Zhongli shamelessly exchanged several promises with the Great Compassion Tree King for two 'Silver Ancient Tree' seeds, which were then planted on the two moons, giving them ley lines.

However, because Mars' two moons are too small, the ley lines are somewhat fragile.

The two satellites now serve as a place where the Liyue immortals gather to retire.

Even if these Liyue immortals do nothing, they can stay at the fifth or sixth rank just by resting on their laurels.

Not all Liyue immortals are as powerful as the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal. The vast majority are minor immortals, and reaching the sixth rank is considered high; most are at the fifth rank.

In addition, being an elemental life form, it is not subject to the lifespan limitations of ordinary life forms, and even a fourth-order being can live forever.

Zhongli was drinking tea in a celestial cave on Phobos, next to a yaksha whose aura was unstable.

"Earth is developing so fast." Zhongli sighed, "Earth has already built spaceships to travel between planets while Liyue's starship is still in the planning stage."

"Copper Sparrow, send a message to the Seven Stars of Liyue, informing them that the envoy from the main star has arrived."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tongque clasped his hands together, bowed, and then his figure vanished in a flash.

He had died in battle five hundred years ago, leaving only a wisp of his soul. Even the people of Liyue had forgotten him, and the temples where he was worshipped had collapsed. But the Emperor did not forget him and brought his wisp of soul to the new world, where he also had the opportunity to rebuild his Yaksha body.

"I hope that the Seven Stars can reach some technology exchange deals with the Xia Kingdom," Zhongli thought. As a god, he could not directly intervene in human communication, otherwise the development of civilization would be distorted, and a civilization that relies on gods in everything would not go far.

"We also need to convey to the grass god of Xumi that the development of Mars cannot be separated from the joint efforts of Xumi."

woohoo-

The spacecraft entered the Martian atmosphere, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

Both Liyue and Sumeru, who had just arrived, saw the fiery meteor streaking across the sky.

Liyue Harbor, Jade Pavilion

The once-glowing jade pendant on the table has dimmed, signifying the end of communication with the immortals.

"Visitors from Earth... Have they become so advanced that they can undertake such long interstellar journeys?" Ningguang looked up through the wooden window at the ever-growing fiery meteor, its beautiful tail testifying to the superiority of their civilization.

His red eyes were filled with envy and a hint of burning fighting spirit.

"Bai Xiao, Bai Wen, Bai Shi, inform the Foreign Affairs Department of the General Affairs Bureau to prepare to receive our distinguished guests."

Chapter 215: The Xia Kingdom People Visit Liyue, Fifth-Tier Chef Xiangling

"Distinguished guest? Is it some great merchant, Lord Ningguang?" Baiwen inquired.

“They are messengers from Earth. This could be a huge opportunity, a turning point, for Liyue,” Ningguang said calmly.

After settling down on Mars, Liyue began exploring the uninhabited areas around her. She realized her mission, a mission so heavy that it made her feel suffocated, and she hadn't been able to sleep peacefully for many days.

Looking back on her childhood when she was so poor she couldn't even afford a pair of shoes, and when she sold seashells she picked up from the beach on the street, to eventually becoming the leader of the Liyue Seven Stars, there was never a time when she was overwhelmed by hardship.

She was anxious about the future of Liyue, and worried about what she should do when that future came. These were questions in her own heart, questions she could not ask the immortals or the emperor.

She had a chance encounter with Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth. Although he was only a fourth-level superhuman, he had an incredibly sharp eye and could see through her state of mind at a glance.

After chatting with Zhongli Keqing for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she realized that this was her opportunity to advance to the fifth rank. As long as she resolved the ultimate question that worried her about the future of Liyue, she would advance directly.

Although this world shares similarities with Teyvat, the importance of the 'Eye of God' holder is far greater than that of Teyvat.

In her view, most holders of the Eye of God had not reached the level of being granted the Eye of God by the gods of this world, but the world still recognized their Eye of God.

However, it only acknowledged that if one's mindset doesn't match the Eye of God, then there's no difference between them and ordinary superhumans.

Only fifth-tier transcendents can truly unleash the power granted by the 'Eye of God'.

Completing one's own inner 'ultimate interrogation' of what one is protecting is the key to unlocking power and the moment of advancement to the fifth rank.

"Earth's messengers! My God! How did they get here from so far away?! It's incredible!" Bai Shi covered his mouth with his hands in shock.

Liyue's recent developments have been so rapid that even her three secretaries, who handle intelligence for Lady Ningguang, are struggling to keep up.

The magical mechanisms have entered every household. Ferries have been equipped with flying mechanisms that allow them to fly in the sky, horse-drawn carriages have been replaced with mechanical flowing horses, and mining has been transformed into stone-striking mechanisms.

Even some wealthy families have followed Ningguang's example with the Jade Pavilion, using magical mechanisms to elevate their residences into the air. Various elevators can be seen everywhere in Liyue.

The entire Liyue Harbor is almost transformed into a magical place resembling a fairy cave.

Especially in the forging industry, due to the large number of transcendents in Liyue, the original weapons are no longer usable, and what transcendents want most now are ingeniously crafted Celestial weapons.

Weapons like these were extremely rare in the past, but now they are practically standard issue for the Thousand Rock Army.

“Yes, it’s so far away, how did they get here?” Bai Xiao was also shocked.

With the help of the immortals who widely imparted their celestial skills, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's team of craftsmen has created a 'star-gazing mirror' that can be used to observe distant stars.

We now know most of the planets in the solar system, especially the closest ones, such as Liyue.

Now, the 'stargazers' of Liyue spend their days at the 'observatory' observing 'Earth', 'Venus', 'Ceres', and so on.

Although humans are not visible, cities, the 'space city' connecting the moon and the earth, and the distant band of light are visible.

The people of Liyue only realized how vast the world was and how prosperous its original civilization was after witnessing that scene with their own eyes.

Having witnessed the gap, all sectors of Liyue have been working frantically to develop, hoping to become a part of that prosperous world.

Liyue Harbor has now expanded to more than twice its previous size, and its population has increased by over 100,000. All of the new additions are newborns. Because there is no longer any pressure to survive, and Liyue needs more people, many people are desperately having children.

Of course, the most important thing is that the more children you have, the more benefits the Liyue government will provide. They will also receive free schooling and have dedicated nannies to take care of the children. Therefore, people are particularly enthusiastic about having children.

"Hey, that meteor is slowing down, it looks like a ship!"

"Yes, that looks like a ship, about the same size as the lead ship of the Southern Cross Fleet."

"They came from the stars, could they be visitors from another planet?"

"My God, this is incredible! People from other planets have come!"

"Hurry to the dock and see, the ship has landed on the sea!"

The Liyue people, who love watching the excitement, headed towards the north and south docks to observe.

At this moment, thirty nautical miles from Liyue Bay, a fleet consisting of more than a dozen large ships, each over 100 meters long, was sailing, with the lead ship even reaching 200 meters in length.

This is the 'Southern Cross Fleet,' a private naval force hired by Ningguang, and it is also the largest naval force in Liyue.

However, the 'Southern Cross Fleet' only serves as a part-time force for Liyue's coastal defense; its primary function is maritime transport. The fleet travels to Sumeru, which has descended on the western continent, to investigate the situation and establish trade routes.

Although Sumeru City is far from the coastline, the people of Sumeru managed to build two towns in a short period of time by pooling their manpower, one of which was a port town.

After all, Sumeru City could not accommodate all the Sumeru people, especially the original desert people. The desert people were not used to living in Sumeru, so they built their own residential cities.

"Big Dipper! A ship is coming from the sky! That must be a ship from Earth's main planet civilization!" A sailor shouted, pointing at the sky in astonishment.

Wow! These are all ships made of steel! Only ships like these can travel between stars!

"Yeah, boss! When will we be able to build a giant ship out of iron and fly into the stars?!"

The crew members were shocked, excited, and shouted with excitement.
