After seven days of secluded cultivation, Bai Xuan's level had reached Rank Six Level Nine. Next, he could prepare for his advancement to Rank Seven, and he had to ensure that everything went perfectly.

Because of this, Bai Xuan ended his seclusion, deployed ferocious beasts to guard the Far East Region, and checked the growth of the other beast kings to make them as strong as possible.

Bai Xuan didn't want another accident like the last one to happen.

At the same time, what Bai Xuan cared about most was the opening time of the Inner Earth World.

If he missed this precious opportunity because of his advancement, it would be a huge loss.

"Forget it, I'll just wait and see," Bai Xuan sighed. He didn't know when the Inner Earth World would open, and the World Tree hadn't given a specific time, which made things difficult.

Advancing was problematic, but not advancing was also problematic.

Time was very precious.

Bai Xuan walked leisurely out of the Icy Cave and arrived outside. Snow was falling heavily and the cold was bone-chilling. Just as Bai Xuan was about to find Xiong Yan to ask about the situation...

From behind him, in the direction of the Arctic, a pillar of light shot straight into the sky, spanning a radius of a hundred miles. Seawater and ice were sucked into it, but eventually, the surrounding seawater seemed to be isolated by a mysterious force, not rushing into the circle of light.

A huge circle formed. This wasn't just happening at the Arctic; it was also occurring at the Antarctic, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Instantly, the nations that had survived the disasters of the ferocious and demonic beasts learned of this. Some fell into a panic, while others feigned composure and sent their armies to investigate.

The Dragon Country even sent General Wang Zhuo to the Far East Region to find Bai Xuan and inquire about the situation.

"This came a bit too suddenly," Bai Xuan couldn't help but mutter. This was likely the entrance to the Inner Earth World.

This was an excellent opportunity that Bai Xuan naturally wouldn't miss. His advancement to Rank Seven might have to be delayed a bit, or he could advance within the Inner Earth World.

Bai Xuan let out a sky-shaking eagle cry that resonated throughout the Far East Region, Menggu Country, the Siberia Region, and the Dragon Country.

Hearing Bai Xuan's summons, those beast kings rushed toward the central area without stopping. After a while, all the Rank Five beast kings had arrived.

Xue Yu, Hu Da, Hu Zi, Mother Tiger, Xiong Yan, Xiao Hei, Rat King, Deer King, Golden Eagle King, Deep Sea Flood Dragon, Xiong Lei, Black Wolf King, and so on.

There were now many Rank Five beast kings, and their territories were large enough for them to survive. The Deep Sea Flood Dragon's territory was naturally in the sea, but to maintain good relations, it often traveled to the Far East Region. It just so happened to be here when this occurred today.

"Brother Bai, what on earth is that? Could it be another invasion?" Hu Zi was the first to break the silence and ask.

Meanwhile, the Earth Nether Flood Dragon arrived with General Wang Zhuo, making the atmosphere even more tense. General Wang Zhuo leaped down from the flood dragon's head and landed steadily. He was clad in pitch-black armor that appeared much lighter than before, yet its enhancements had actually increased rather than decreased.

"Wang Zhuo greets the Eagle Emperor."

General Wang Zhuo cupped his fists and bowed slightly, speaking with great respect.

This was his first time facing such a situation, so he specifically came to ask Bai Xuan if he knew what was happening and how they should deal with it.

"Di You greets the Eagle Emperor." The Earth Nether Flood Dragon did the same, its tone very respectful.

"Are you the flood dragon from the Dragon Country that controls the earth veins?" The Deep Sea Flood Dragon sized up the Earth Nether Flood Dragon; the other's strength was slightly greater than its own.

This was also the first time it had seen one of its own kind, both being ferocious flood dragons.

"Indeed. You must be that flood dragon from the sea. This is my first time meeting one of my own kind; it's a pleasure." The Earth Nether Flood Dragon also sized up the Deep Sea Flood Dragon, speaking in a friendly tone without a hint of hostility.

But the other ferocious beasts didn't think that way. They were very wary of the Earth Nether Flood Dragon and General Wang Zhuo. Some even glared at them, baring their teeth as if ready to fight at any moment.

"Same here." The Deep Sea Flood Dragon nodded slightly, also showing no hostility. In its view, since Bai Xuan had a good attitude toward the Dragon Country, it wouldn't make an enemy of them.

"What are you doing here? Trespassing into our territory—are you trying to start a war with us?!" The Black Bear King looked coldly at the Earth Nether Flood Dragon.

Although its own strength was weaker than the Earth Nether Flood Dragon's, they had far more numbers. Moreover, this was the ferocious beasts' territory, not a place they could enter as they pleased.

At the very least, they needed the Eagle Emperor's permission. Entering so brazenly was simply disregarding them. Therefore, many ferocious beasts felt very dissatisfied with the Earth Nether Flood Dragon's actions.

"Everyone, be quiet," Bai Xuan said indifferently.

As soon as he spoke, there was instant silence. The ferocious beasts didn't dare to speak further, fearing they would anger Bai Xuan. They could also hear the seriousness in his tone and didn't dare to respond lightly.

"The passage to the Inner Earth World has opened. Those who wish to follow me, step forward. I won't force anyone, but some beasts must stay behind to guard our territory. We can't all go; slots are limited and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis."

Bai Xuan turned to look at the massive beasts before him, each like a mountain of varying sizes. General Wang Zhuo looked exceptionally tiny in front of them.

General Wang Zhuo noticed that Bai Xuan wasn't angry about their unauthorized entry and felt relieved. He had been worried that Bai Xuan would blame them and demand resources as compensation before letting them leave.

After all, they had seen how much Bai Xuan valued resources; he plundered them everywhere. Whether it was from other beasts, humans, on land, or in the sea, anyone with even a bit of strength had been thoroughly plundered by him.

"What is the Inner Earth World? How long will it be open? When will it end? And how do we get out after entering?" General Wang Zhuo couldn't help but ask curiously.

This was the first time he had heard of the Inner Earth World. Could there be another world within the Blue Star's core? That would be absolutely shocking and a major discovery. What was inside and what kind of resources were there would be extremely helpful to humanity.

All sorts of questions filled his mind. He desperately wanted to know everything, as this concerned the future of the Dragon Country and even all of humanity!
