53: It touched the hearts of the whole world

After dealing with He Wei, Li Feng immediately went to find Zhang Yang and the remaining three Chosen Ones.

Without any ripples or surprises, all three had their Lord Altars destroyed by Li Feng and were expelled from the Endless Continent.

In the future, if they wished to return to the Endless Continent, they would have to pay a huge price to obtain a new Lord Source.

What made Li Feng a little regretful was this.

Only the earliest one, Bai Qing, dropped a Tier 6 Troops blueprint.

The other four were not very helpful; four Tier 6 Troops Altars, and not a single blueprint dropped.

It was a good thing Bai Qing and the others didn't know about Li Feng's regret.

Otherwise, they would have been furious.

Li Feng's regret was built on the foundation of them being expelled from the Endless Continent.

It was built on the foundation of them being nailed to the pillar of shame!

The five returned to Earth one after another, causing a huge stir.

Just as they had predicted, major media outlets rushed to report on it.

Within just a few hours, the five had topped the trending search list.

There was no other way; they were the earliest Chosen Ones to be kicked out of the Endless Continent so far, and they were all kicked out on the same day.

In previous Novice Lord assessments, this was also very rare.

Every year, Chosen Ones would be kicked out of the Endless Continent, which was not uncommon.

But they were all expelled during the final days of the points competition, after being surrounded and attacked by Chosen Ones of similar power levels.

Chosen Ones kicked out of the Endless Continent in just half a month were historically rare.

And they were five people expelled on the same day.

Even more exaggerated was that all five were in the same competition zone.

The media people were excited, trembling, and their blood was boiling.

Let alone people as sensitive as them, even some ordinary people keenly smelled a rat.

"A hegemonic figure has emerged."

A powerful Lord muttered to himself after seeing the trending search.

In previous years, whenever such an event occurred, it signified the birth of a hegemonic figure.

This was a major event capable of shaking the entire Earth.

A so-called hegemonic figure was at least a Lord who had awakened an SS-grade or higher talent, or even higher!

Such a person would at least become a top-tier Lord in the future.

If he had enough opportunities, becoming a Godly Lord was not a dream!

At this, the whole world mobilized.

Within the Dragon Nation, various espionage activities began to become frequent.

Even a large number of powerful Lords began to act, entering the Dragon Nation legally or illegally.

The purpose, of course, was simple.

To analyze clues and figure out who that hegemonic figure was.

Then, to recruit him.

If a small country acquired a hegemonic figure and he achieved Godly Lord status in the future, that country could potentially join the ranks of major powers.

For major powers, it would increase their own heritage.

Therefore, the whole world mobilized, all wanting to recruit this hegemonic figure into their own country.

On the same day, the Dragon Nation's Supreme Council convened.

Inside the spacious conference hall, many people were seated densely.

If the media were to broadcast this scene, it would shock the world.

Those who could sit in this conference hall were all famous Lords of the Dragon Nation.

The three sitting in the first row were even Lords who stood at the very top, below the Godly Lords.

After a while, an old man slowly walked out.

He was an old man dressed in a purple-gold Daoist robe, with the hair of a crane and the face of a child, his eyes as clear and translucent as black gemstones, reflecting all the Lords in the conference hall into his pupils.

"Greetings, Celestial Master Zhang!"

"Hello, Celestial Master Zhang!"

"..."

In an instant, all the Lords stood up and bowed to this veteran Godly Lord.

"I won't say much unnecessary; let's get straight to the point. This year, a new hegemonic figure has emerged within our Dragon Nation."

Boom!

Upon hearing this, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

Everyone's faces showed shock, even astonishment.

What did a hegemonic figure mean?

That was not about an individual, but about the national level.

Once such a person grew, he could at least make his country a hegemonic-level country.

There were over two hundred countries on Earth, but hegemonic-level countries would not exceed 20, showing how precious they were.

The last time a hegemonic figure appeared globally was thirteen years ago.

That person's home country was originally a small country.

But now he had fully grown, and his original small country had also become a hegemonic-level country.

If he were to take another crucial step in the future and achieve divinity.

His home country could even directly join the ranks of major powers, looking down on Earth.

Unexpectedly, after a long time.

A new hegemonic figure had appeared, and he was from their Dragon Nation.

How could this not shock and astound these important figures?

"As you all know, this year's Novice Lord assessment is also extraordinary. The hegemonic figure born this year is very likely a rising divine star, a future Godly Lord, and absolutely must not be poached by other countries!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with Celestial Master Zhang's words.

At the same time, these important figures, who could make their respective hometowns tremble with a stomp of their feet, all showed expressions of longing.

Even top-tier Lords, although their lifespan greatly increased, would eventually face the day of old age and death.

But Godly Lords could overlook the Endless Continent, standing above the starry sky.

Untouched by heaven, with eternal life!

"Old Celestial Master, you summoned us here; have you divined any future events? For example, the specific location of that hegemonic figure?"

Just then, the middle-aged man in the center of the first row spoke.

He was wearing a gray-blue Zhongshan suit, looking thin but containing an endless sense of oppression.

The other Lords all looked at the middle-aged man who spoke, with expressions of awe.

Fang Qiong, the Old Ancestor of the Yulin Fang Family.

He looked like a middle-aged man, but his true age exceeded a thousand years.

Even among top-tier Lords, he was at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Celestial Master Zhang looked at Fang Qiong and shook his head, saying:

"My divination is also vague and cannot fully glimpse the heavenly secrets. Fortunately, we can confirm his name through those few eliminated youngsters."

"Through questioning the youngsters, it can be confirmed that the Lord who expelled them is named Li Feng."

"Currently, all Novice Lords named Li Feng are in these cities. You all go and stake out, and after the Novice Lord trial ends, do your best to win him over!"

As he spoke, the large screen behind Celestial Master Zhang suddenly lit up.

It was a map of the Dragon Nation.

On the map, some cities were circled in red.

Among them, Chao Xiong City, where Li Feng was located, was prominently displayed.

"Finally, I emphasize again, no matter what, we cannot let such a hegemonic figure fall into other countries' hands. Whatever conditions other countries offer, we must offer a little more than them."

"If anyone dares to play small tricks, just hit them directly. I will take full responsibility for any consequences!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"..."

"Alright then, meeting adjourned!"

With the announcement of the adjournment, everyone left in an orderly manner.

Some acted alone, others in twos and threes, choosing a city and quickly departing.

Li Feng, the instigator, still didn't know.

An action he considered very ordinary had actually tugged at the heartstrings of the entire world...
