47: The world echoes! Huo Jun, the cavalry vanguard!

Su Jin gazed at the metallic page suspended in mid-air, realizing this was no coincidence!

"This is..." His pupils contracted slightly, and a bold guess surged into his mind, "The world's response?"

As if to confirm his conjecture, the light on the metallic page suddenly intensified, and a grand, ancient will, seemingly from the world's very origin, quietly descended.

There was no sound, no text, but Su Jin clearly "understood" a certain message—celebration!

The Adran World was celebrating!

Celebrating the birth of a being who had broken through to the Gold rank on this land!

For the entire Adran World, the birth of the first Gold-rank powerhouse signified the growth and evolution of the world's own power!

Bai Xiao's promotion was not only an increase in Infinite City's strength but also a significant "contribution" to the entire world!

And this mysterious metallic page seemed to be the carrier or token of the world's will, "activated" by Bai Xiao's Gold-rank breakthrough!

"So that's how it is..." Su Jin suddenly understood, while a tempest also raged in his heart.

Gold-rank, it could actually elicit a world-level response! Or, perhaps the Adran World's own limit was at the Silver rank, meaning the existence limit of this world was Tier 9, and now, Bai Xiao had broken through.......

He tried to reach out, wanting to touch the page.

The moment his fingertip touched the page,

"[World Rule Feedback Detected...]"

"[Territory Hero 'Bai Xiao' has broken through to Gold Rank, world evolution process has been propelled... attracting the attention of Yadran World's origin...]"

"[World Gift Generating...]"

"[Received World Blessing: Food crop yield within 'Infinite City' territory increases by 100%, plant beneficial mutation rate increases, and the aptitude of newborn population improves!]"

At this moment, every living being in the entire Infinite City felt an inexplicable tremor.

The sky seemed to become more distant, the sunlight seemed even brighter, and the energy particles floating in the air became active and converged at an unprecedented speed!

Subsequently, the light on the page slowly receded, returning to its ancient metallic texture, and then gently floated down, back into Su Jin's hand.

All anomalies disappeared, as if the grand world will's descent just now was merely an illusion.

But Su Jin knew this was no illusion. 'Infinite City' was bathed in the world's blessing, and its future development would be limitless!

At this time, Bai Xiao also exited God Liberation state, standing quietly beside Su Jin.

Su Jin looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "You're truly in the spotlight this time, even the world is cheering for you!"

Bai Xiao was momentarily stunned, seeming a bit confused by the joke.

"It's nothing," Su Jin chuckled, "You may withdraw first."

"Yes," Bai Xiao responded, then turned and walked down the Sublimation platform.

The soldiers and residents below, who had been holding their breath, all focused their gaze on him, their eyes filled with shock, awe, and even fanaticism.

After Bai Xiao's figure merged into the military formation, Su Jin's voice rang out again:

"Huo Jun!"

In the crowd, Huo Jun's body trembled, and he stepped forward.

Walking to the Sublimation platform, Huo Jun looked up at Su Jin, his eyes flashing with resolute light, and he knelt on one knee: "My Lord!"

Su Jin nodded, his gaze filled with approval. Huo Jun was one of Infinite City's earliest commanders, upright and incorruptible, gentle as jade, and deeply respected by the soldiers. His ability and loyalty were beyond doubt.

"I shall bestow upon you the glory of Sublimation," Su Jin's voice remained calm, tinged with anticipation.

The '∞' symbol on the back of his hand lit up again, and a soft light instantly enveloped Huo Jun.

Buzz—!

The Sublimation platform vibrated again, and golden light surged like a tide, gentle yet full of power.

Huo Jun's body trembled slightly, his armor clanking with crisp metallic sounds. Unlike Bai Xiao's violent Sublimation, Huo Jun's Sublimation process appeared peaceful and restrained, with power quietly growing in silence.

However, this calm did not last long.

When the golden light reached its peak, a sudden change occurred!

The originally soft light abruptly became fiery, and a violent energy fluctuation erupted, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across the entire plaza!

Rumble—!

In the sky, though clear, sudden peals of thunder rolled by, deafening!

The soldiers in the plaza, including captains like Mu Yang, Stone Rock, and Zhui Yun, all felt a strong sense of oppression wash over them, as if an invisible giant mountain was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.

"This... this is!?" Stone Rock's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Why does it... feel so familiar?!"

Not just Stone Rock, Mu Yang and Zhui Yun beside him were also somewhat stunned, their eyes fixed on Huo Jun.

The soldiers below were in an uproar, astonished discussions spreading like a tide.

"Another... another one?"

"This aura... could it be... could Commander Huo Jun also be..."

"My heavens! What is My Lord doing... !"

Within the light pillar, Huo Jun's figure was undergoing dramatic changes.

Su Jin's eyelid twitched involuntarily. He had just had a Gold-rank debut, and now another hero was promoting? This frequency... he himself felt it was a bit outrageous, would everyone say he was cheating.......

On the field, the golden energy on Huo Jun's body, at this moment, seemed to have found an outlet, burning fiercely as if a special catalyst had been added.

His armor no longer had a simple metallic texture; instead, it began to flow with a pale golden radiance, countless intricate wind and lightning runes moving and interweaving on the armor's surface, eventually solidifying into brand new patterns.

The long spear in his hand hummed, its shaft becoming more slender, the original metallic spearhead seemingly elongated by invisible energy, spitting dangerous lightning arcs and pale green wind blades, and a terrifying aura, a fusion of wind's swiftness and lightning's ferocity, permeated the air.

"Buzz—!"

Another strange hum, and behind Huo Jun, a blurry, gigantic banner phantom faintly appeared, as if a sea of clouds churned and lightning flashed on the banner, emanating an imposing aura of commanding a thousand armies and summoning wind and thunder!

"[Unit 'Huo Jun' detected to meet hero promotion potential... consuming evolution points... Sublimation beginning...]"

"[Sublimation successful! 'Huo Jun ★ Commander ★ Sky Cloud Rider (Silver - Lower)' has successfully promoted to 'Huo Jun ★ Hero ★ Valiant Cavalry Heavenly Edge (Silver - Upper)!']"

"[Hero level increased to Tier 8!]"

"[Hero skills 'Thunderous Charge', 'Sky Vortex Blade', 'Thunderous Mountain Severing Strike', 'Hurricane Barrier' have been enhanced!]"

"[Hero unlocked skill: Thunder Rainbow Piercing Mountain Spear (Compresses violent lightning into a physical javelin, the spear body entwines with spiraling electric light when thrown, leaving a scorching white thunder rainbow in its flight path. Upon hitting the target, the spear body explodes into a spherical lightning storm with a radius of 15 meters)!]"

"[Hero unlocked aura: Vast Sea Cloud Banner (Allied forces within a 1500-meter radius gain battle will buff, all attributes significantly increased, cavalry units additionally gain the 'Swallow Step' levitation characteristic)!]"

"[Hero unlocked domain: Hundred Riders Thunder Strike · Military Soul Resonance (Summons 'Three Hundred Thunder Strike Elite Cavalry' heroic spirit legion to fight collaboratively, the heroic spirit legion can use hero skills)!]"

Su Jin looked at the refreshed information in his mind, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curving upwards, his mood somewhat complex.......
