At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Time flew by, and an even more lively night arrived, during which many interesting things happened.

After parting ways with his fellow fifth-tier heroes, France's only fifth-tier hero encountered Joan of Arc in a clothing store, which moved him so much that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Joan of Arc did not actually want to appear before ordinary people, but the whole of France was looking forward to her appearance. So far, Joan of Arc has not shown up in France, nor has she communicated directly with the French people.

This made Joan of Arc feel that things were not going to continue like this, so she met with François alone and took the opportunity to give France several burial cloths that she had made.

In addition, Maido, who is already at the peak of the eighth rank and is advancing to the ninth rank, has come to visit with the villagers of Dragon Bone Village. Most of the villagers of Dragon Bone Village have obtained Holy Marks, some have reached the fourth rank, and a few have reached the fifth rank.

Those who reach the fifth rank mainly focus on eliminating monsters from the African continent.

After all, apart from North Africa which is protected by Egypt, the two strongest countries in Africa have not yet reached Tier 5. Rwanda's Kajame and Burkina Faso's Sandra are currently at the peak of Tier 4, and it will take some time for them to reach Tier 5.

Therefore, most of the work of eliminating monsters is done by the Dragonbone Village of the Sahara Desert Ecological Research Base. In addition, superhumans from other countries also come to the African continent, but not frequently.

At this moment, in a large restaurant, Ying and Paimon were patting their stomachs and burping.

"It's so delicious, I can't even fly! The people of Xia Kingdom are so kind." Paimon patted his belly and burped, his originally small belly now bulging like a ball.

"Yeah, this world is so wonderful. It seems that Kong has already forgotten himself and is probably messing around somewhere." Ying burped while rubbing her stomach, and the urgency to find Kong had disappeared.

She had figured out this world. Although monsters would appear from time to time, the wilderness was dangerous, and there were even those wicked, festering corrupt beings, ordinary people were not in any danger overall.

If you are willing to live a peaceful life, you will live a very comfortable life, and it is also very simple to become stronger.

Although she doesn't have any holy marks, she's at the peak of the second tier and will probably reach the third tier soon.

"After watching the celebration tomorrow, we'll take a spaceship to the moon to find that God of Justice. Hopefully, we'll get some clues." Ying looked at the blue-green moon outside the glass window.

"With that bastard Sora's charm, he's probably already got a ton of romantic entanglements in this world. If that's the case, I might have to be his aunt by now, tsk." (Sora: Aren't we siblings? Can't you trust my character a little more?)

……

The next day.

The entire venue was a veritable city that never sleeps, bustling even at dawn. After all, the lowest level of those who came here were all second-tier superhumans. Let alone staying up all night, even if they didn't sleep for three days and three nights, they would only feel a little sleepy.

Millions of extraordinary individuals arrived one after another at the center of the venue, a huge square. The square was densely packed with extraordinary individuals, and although there were no security measures in place, everyone spontaneously maintained order.

Directly in front of the square is a huge platform similar to the Temple of Heaven, a place used to announce to the heavens. On both sides of the platform are the heroic figures of the Xia Kingdom's nearly eight thousand years of civilization.

Behind the rooftop is a row of seats for the distinguished guests from various countries and civilizations who have received invitations.

Amidst the attention of the world, leaders from all over the globe took to the VIP seats, and Nitocris, a sixth-tier superhuman, was politely ushered to the central seat by numerous fifth-tier heroes.

"Truly a great civilization as ancient as Egypt!" Nitocris exclaimed, convinced that Egypt would surely reach this level under the leadership of the Sun King.

Leaders and heroes from various countries took their seats in the VIP section one after another. Each of them felt a mix of emotions, including envy and admiration for the prosperity of the Xia Kingdom. However, this also fueled their fighting spirit, and they vowed to make their own countries even more prosperous than they were now.

The VIPs from various countries sitting in the VIP seats were at least at the late stage of the fourth rank.

Although there are dozens of Tier 5 beings in the world now, the prestige of Tier 4 has not diminished. There are over a hundred countries and hundreds of independent city-states on Earth, but there are fewer than five hundred Tier 4 extraordinary beings, and most of them are only at the early stage of Tier 4. Even a superpower like Xia, which accounts for one-sixth of the Earth's population, has only a little over a hundred Tier 4 extraordinary beings.

It's truly a case of one in ten million.

"This is so exciting! The first human in our time to advance to the sixth rank!"

"Yeah, I wonder if there will be any special phenomena or anything when you get promoted."

"It is said that Lord Tao Jing ascended to the throne under the spotlight so that we could experience the 'divine wisdom' descending from the World Tree."

"The knowledge of God, although people with a bit of knowledge have heard of it, they have never actually seen it."

"It is said that 'divine knowledge' is the knowledge that gods have transformed into from their understanding of the rules. It is true divine knowledge. Just how powerful is it that is related to gods?"

"I don't know. Fifth-tier superhumans already possess the power to destroy cities, and if they're willing to spend the time, they could even wipe out a country."

"Then a sixth-tier legendary being who has mastered the knowledge of the gods must be ten times stronger than this."

"You're oversimplifying things. This isn't about destructive power at all; the key issue is the rules, the rules."

"You think you know everything? We ordinary superhumans who might never even reach the fourth tier in our entire lives know nothing about the rules, we're just spouting nonsense."

Numerous small aircraft were flying in the sky; these were all live-streaming drones from news agencies around the world.

At this very moment, a live broadcast of all civilizations in the solar system is underway.

Even Liyue and Sumeru, which are far away on Mars, received a large number of receiving and projection devices from the Xia Kingdom's envoys. Although there will be a delay of a few seconds due to the distance, these few seconds will not affect the viewing experience.

At this moment, people all over the world were watching the live broadcast. Everyone had a variety of expressions: curiosity, excitement, sighs, disappointment...

The intelligent elemental life forms that have emerged on Earth are also watching the live broadcast intently.

"Look, everyone! Look at the VIP seats! Those are representatives from major civilizations in the solar system and various countries on Earth. They are mostly fifth-tier heroes, the light of humanity!" Charlotte excitedly directed the spacecraft to point its camera at the VIP seats.

"I am Charlotte, the top reporter from Steambird News. Now I will introduce the heroes in the VIP seats to you one by one."

"First of all, she is the only sixth-tier legend to participate in this grand event. She is Queen Nitocris from ancient Egypt, which has a history of about 10,000 years. She became a legend 4,000 years ago and is almost a hero of the last ancient era."

"As we all know, sixth-tier legendary beings have a lifespan of several thousand years, so there's no need to be surprised."

"Next up is the Church of Rome, which has the most Tier 5 and Tier 4 heroes on Earth. Their faith is in God, who is also the Heavenly Lord of Xia Kingdom, and the Heavenly Principles."

Journalists from various countries excitedly provided live commentary. Of course, the British and French journalists inevitably engaged in a war of words, hurling insults and undermining each other, leaving them both embarrassed and disgruntled.

This has become one of the most sought-after sources of entertainment around the world.

When the sun reached noon, the entire venue suddenly fell silent, for the main character of this grand event had made his appearance.

Four fifth-tier extraordinary beings from the Xia Kingdom stood in mid-air, protecting Tao Jing as they flew towards the high platform. After reaching the platform, the other three flew to their reserved seats in the VIP section.

A giant azure dragon, over two hundred meters long, flew in from afar, its four claws treading on pure white clouds, instantly increasing the concentration of water and grass elements in the air.

The extraordinary individuals looked up in amazement, and even the distinguished guests from various countries looked on with envy, especially the leaders of the smaller nations, whose eyes were filled with longing.

"That is the guardian dragon of the Xia Kingdom, the real dragon."

"Yes, it's said to be equivalent to the sixth rank in rivers, lakes, and seas. That's incredibly powerful."

"Xia Kingdom is incredibly lucky. It is said that not only does it have a divine dragon, but also many other divine beasts, some of which have reached the fifth rank."

“We also have dragons in Europe, but the strongest are only at the peak of the fourth tier, and they are unwilling to sign contracts with humans.”

"Our Lady of the Lake in Britain has a pact with our Knights, but she is only at the mid-fourth rank."

However, the superhumans were stunned the next moment, because the Azure Dragon in the sky had a lewd smile on its face and made a very smug sound.

"Hahaha, I, Ao Qing, have arrived!"

"How about it, are you captivated by my magnificent figure? Humans, hahahaha."

"Uh..." Everyone.

Tao Jing couldn't keep her composure; the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She regretted letting that talkative Donglong come and join the fun.

Yu Chengyue felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. His worst fears had come true. What kind of mythical beast was this silly? If he could control this long worm, he would have tied it up.

What a disgrace! What a disgrace! What a disgrace to the nation! How could he have been so blinded by greed to bring this thing back and worship it as a guardian dragon of the nation?

The Liyue immortals, who were silently watching the spectacle from the crowd, were speechless.

"Little guy, hurry back, or I'll shoot you twice with my Returning Machine if you cause any more trouble," the woman in the flowing blue dress transmitted, her face darkening.

In the eyes of these immortals, the divine beasts born in the Xia Kingdom are actually of the same kind, since they are all elemental life forms born from human prayers and beliefs.

The immortals have taken many of these newly born divine beasts as their disciples and taught them the 'magical method of transformation,' which is why the divine beasts can transform into human form.

However, these newborn little ones haven't been tempered by time, and their personalities are more and more unruly than the last, just like mischievous children.

"Ah! It's that woman!" Ao Qing froze, his dragon tail tucked up like a dog's, and screamed as he transformed into a streak of green light and flew towards the horizon.

"???" Everyone was even more confused. What was going on? What was this dragon doing here?

"You scoundrel! How dare you call this immortal 'that woman'!" True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng was immediately displeased.

"Master, I'll go and bring him back to be reprimanded right away," a voluptuous girl with long, snow-white hair said expressionlessly, as a long, gleaming spear appeared in her hand.

"There's no need for that, Shen He. You should come out into the mortal world more often. Constantly cultivating in seclusion is not conducive to your growth."

"It's Master."

After a brief interlude, Tao Jing slowly began to speak.

"Welcome heroes from all over the world to witness my promotion celebration."

"I won't say anything unnecessary in the opening remarks. I hope everyone can benefit from my promotion process."

"It doesn't matter if you don't get any benefits. I believe everyone will find this celebration worthwhile."

After Tao Jing finished speaking, she took a deep breath in front of everyone, slowly closed her eyes, and slowly emitted a rock elemental glow from her body.

The aura, already at the threshold of the fifth-order peak, spread out, almost instantly expanding to ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, thirty kilometers...

Everyone held their breath at that moment, feeling as if the immense aura was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, and that they were just a small boat in the tsunami.

Buzzing~~~

There was no deafening sound, only the hum of the atmosphere.

Then, an amber-colored beam of light slowly rose from Tao Jing's body towards the sky, like a gentle stream of light. The moment the light reached the clouds, countless colors of light appeared, spreading across the sky like the aurora borealis.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with colorful aurora.

The gentle sounds of nature reach everyone's soul: the chirping of birds, the sound of fish swimming, the sound of wind rustling through the treetops... all of these are the chorus of nature.

The faint, ethereal image of the World Tree enveloped the earth, leaving all the extraordinary beings dumbfounded; even the reporters, their mouths agape, could not utter a sound.

Warm, vast, majestic... it's like a greeting from Mother World.

Would someone who advances to the sixth tier of transcendent beings receive such a breathtaking blessing?

"After all, he's the first human to reach the sixth rank, so let's give him some minor, insignificant special effects." Luo Sheng smiled. There would be some unusual phenomena when advancing to the sixth rank, but nothing nearly as dramatic as this. This was something he deliberately created.

Since the whole world's attention is focused here, let's make the scene a little more exciting.

Tao Jing closed her eyes, feeling mysterious runes being born within her body, her divine eye resonating with her soul.

These runes converged into a circle, and when the circle appeared, she could feel her soul; the circle was within her soul.

The souls that came into contact with the ring gradually turned a pale gold color.

The soul is being sublimated. No matter how dazzling an ordinary person's soul is, its quality remains unchanged. But at this moment, the soul is constantly becoming stronger under the 'divine knowledge'.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a ring of runes slowly appeared around the outer edge of his pupils. The aura of a sixth-tier expert gradually emerged from his body.

"So that's how it is. This is the sixth rank. The 'Divine Spiritual Knowledge' will continuously elevate the soul until it reaches the point where it can accommodate fragments of rules. Such a soul already possesses some characteristics of a god."

At this moment, the fifth-tier heroes in the VIP seats came to their senses and looked up at the figure emitting a faint light in the sky.
