152: Adelan's promotion

Above the Red Soil Plateau.

A verdant 'world,' like a giant emerald, hung suspended in the sky.

That was the projection of the Adran World.

At this moment, on the edge of this 'emerald,'

a continuously writhing, ominous dark-red shadow was attached — the completely suppressed Plane Calamity Embryo.

The Adran World was like a precise grinding machine, slowly crushing, absorbing, and transforming this massive 'impurity' piece by piece.

From time to time, the world projection in the sky would tremble violently, emitting a dull roar, as if someone who had eaten too much was burping.

Immediately after, some dark-red 'debris' would be 'squeezed' out.

Then, countless green 'vines' reaching out from the world's light and shadow would drag it back, continuing the grinding process.

This god-like spectacle had been ongoing for over a month.

Below, the land, once tainted by the Crimson Will, had regained its original color under the power of the Lord of Radiance.

The main forces of the war had long dispersed.

The remaining forces of the Dark Star Empire and the Three-Eyed Race on the Woma Continent, after losing their high-level combat power, were being purged by the combined forces of the Blue Star Alliance and Radiant City.

This struggle for supremacy in the Woma World had finally settled...

Above the Red Soil Plateau, only an elite mixed force remained stationed.

They were mainly responsible for vigilance, and incidentally... observing this rare spectacle, unseen in ten thousand years?

On a temporarily opened high-ground platform, several figures gazed at the sky.

At the edge of the platform, Bai Xiao stood with his sword, his figure as tall and straight as a pine tree.

As the 'ballast stone' suppressing the conflict of world laws, he had stood here for a month.

Yet his aura was more restrained and profound than before, as if he had become one with the world.

Apolosi sat on an exquisite chair woven from vines.

Her golden eyes reflected the strange sight in the sky, filled with inquiry and awe.

And the instigator of all this, Su Jin, was leisurely leaning back in a lounge chair.

He held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, occasionally taking a sip.

He seemed the most relaxed of the three.

Apart from providing a 'channel,' the rest of the work was automatically completed by the world book, Grand Void Azurewood Palace, and the Adran World itself.

"Lord Su,"

Apolosi finally couldn't help but speak.

"How much longer will this devouring continue?"

"I feel that the laws of the world you summoned are becoming increasingly profound, but the backlash from that deformed embryo also seems to be growing more intense."

Su Jin put down his teacup and smiled, "Soon. It's like eating a big meal; you always have to clean the bones first."

"It's making its final struggle now, trying to inject its 'poison' into Adlan's 'flesh.' Unfortunately, with Bai Xiao here, it can't cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao didn't even lift an eyelid, merely emitting an "hmm" from his nasal cavity.

Over the past month, whenever the deformed embryo tried to pollute Adlan with chaotic laws, an invisible Sword Intent of Annihilation would descend precisely, wiping it away.

For him, this work was tedious, yet also a form of unique cultivation.

"Just a little indigestion, no big deal."

Su Jin concluded.

...

In the garrison camp below the plateau, the atmosphere was much livelier.

"It shook again!"

A Xuanjia Elite Warrior from Tiance Manor looked up at the sky, smacking his lips.

"Brothers, I'm starting a bet: will this 'pancake' in the sky shake again within the next hour?"

A Zhenyue Halberd Guard from Infinite City, carrying his halberd, scoffed at the remark.

"Ignorant. Our Lord is performing 'World Refining,' understand?"

"It's the same principle as blacksmithing; if you don't hammer it, how can it become a divine weapon? What you call noise, we hear as celestial music!"

"Hey, I say, Old Hu, do you people from Infinite City all have built-in filters? It's been rumbling for a month now, my ears are almost calloused,"

A technical soldier from Yong City complained, rubbing his ears.

"But speaking of which, Lord Su Jin is truly formidable."

"General Dragon Battle used the Sky Punishment Matrix to clear the area, and Lord Zhou Yong used the Wall of Sighs to resist head-on, but Lord Su just pulled out a world and crushed the enemy."

"This... where's the justice in that?"

As these words were spoken, the surrounding soldiers nodded in agreement, deeply sympathetic.

They were all elites who had survived that terrifying war.

They had personally witnessed the despair brought by that crimson giant eye, and also personally witnessed how Su Jin, by himself, turned the tide.

That scene of 'one world suppressing another' had become their bragging rights for a lifetime.

"You guys say, when our City Lord Su... oh no, 'World Lord' Su, completely devours that thing, what will his Adran World become?"

A young Riftwind Archer asked, his eyes full of longing.

"I don't know,"

The Zhenyue Halberd Guard grinned, his face full of pride.

"But I know that the future of our Infinite City will definitely be brighter than the world in the sky!"

Just as they were chatting, the anomaly in the sky suddenly intensified!

"Boom—Rumble—!!!"

A tremendous sound, with a clear, metallic resonance, echoed across the entire plateau!

Everyone looked up in shock.

They saw the verdant world projection in the sky suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

The endlessly entangled dark-red shadow, under the illumination of the light,

was like residual snow meeting a scorching sun, emitting one last mournful shriek before being completely decomposed, torn apart, and transformed into the purest primordial torrent.

Then, it was swallowed whole by the Adran World!

The devouring was complete!

The entire world, at this moment, fell into extreme silence.

Immediately after, a grander, more magnificent transformation began!

The originally stably suspended Adran World projection began to expand and grow at a visible speed.

Mountains rose from the ground, several times more majestic than before.

Rivers surged and roared, their waters even containing pure life energy.

Vast expanses of new land formed at the edges of the world.

Forests, grasslands, lakes... various landforms evolved out of thin air, as if an invisible Creator God was wielding a paintbrush, adding the most brilliant colors to this world!

"Oh my God..."

In the camp, someone let out a dreamy groan.

This was no longer a mere increase in energy, but a leap in world rank!

On the high-ground platform, Apolosi suddenly stood up, her golden pupils filled with disbelief.

She sensed that the laws of the Woma World were resonating intensely with the Adran World in the sky!

This was a 'pull' from a higher dimension, as if witnessing the birth of a king!

Countless unusual phenomena began to emerge in the Adran World projection.

On the peaks of the eastern mountains, azure lightning gathered into dragon shapes, coiling and roaring—that was the nascent law of thunder, born from the combination of the Wood Divine Lightning and the world's origin!

Over the boundless western grasslands, golden light rain fell, each drop filled with the breath of life; plants grew wildly, full of vitality—that was the law of life cheering!

The southern volcanoes erupted simultaneously, but what flowed out was not destructive magma, but pure fire elemental energy as thick as honey, dyeing the sky crimson!

In the northern glacial snowfields, deep blue auroras streaked across the sky, with fragments of spatial laws shimmering within them, actually evolving into mirage-like wonders!

Earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, light, dark...

All kinds of law fragments, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea,

were sorted, Home, and Ascended one by one in this grand promotion!

"Using the incomplete world origin as fuel to ignite the Ascending fire of one's own world..."

Apolosi murmured, her gaze at Su Jin having changed from awe to reverence.

"He is not just wielding a world; he is... 'creating' a world!"

Su Jin slowly stood up, spreading his arms as if to embrace his world.

He could feel every breath, every pulse of Adlan.

The world book glowed with unprecedented brilliance in his soul, and a massive stream of information poured into his mind.

【Tip: Adran World has devoured the 'Aberrant Plane Embryo' and gained a large amount of World Origin...】

【Tip: World Origin saturation has reached the critical value, World Sublimation begins!】

【Tip: Law completeness is increasing... Space barrier is strengthening... Time flow rate upper limit is increasing...】

【Estimated Sublimation time: One year.】
