170: The pinnacle of fame! Awe-inspiring in all directions!

Early the next morning.

When the first ray of dawn light filtered through the gap in the curtains and quietly fell upon the floor of the room.

Chen Nian slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, a golden glow, deeper and more condensed than ever before, flashed for an instant before vanishing into his calm eyes.

Habitually, he looked inward to inspect himself.

Immediately, a terrifying torrent of spiritual energy, vast as a sea of stars and majestic as the tide, instantly filled his perception.

This power was pure, condensed, and boundlessly majestic.

Within the Dantian Qi Sea, his Natal Spiritual Core had already transformed into a dazzling golden sun.

Countless profound and complex natural patterns circulated on its surface, emitting a vast and majestic aura.

Every pulse drove the ebb and flow of the spiritual energy tides throughout his body, endless and cyclic.

His Mental Energy, or Divine Thought, had also undergone an earth-shaking change following the Realm Breakthrough.

With a slight thought.

An invisible Divine Thought spread out silently from him like spilled mercury.

The walls of the dormitory, the Special Agents hurrying through the corridors, the low conversations in distant offices, even the cool morning air outside the headquarters building and the occasional bird flying by... everything within a radius of several hundred meters was clearly reflected in his mind, down to the smallest detail.

This perception was not a simple visual or auditory sense, but a more three-dimensional, all-encompassing insight.

He was very satisfied with this.

With a thought from Chen Nian, the light blue System panel instantly unfolded before his eyes.

[points: 87]

Looking at the "Spirit Condensation Realm (Level 70)" in the Realm column, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Chen Nian's eyes.

Overnight, his Realm had soared from Spirit Condensation Realm Level 1 to Level 70.

If this were to spread, it would be enough to frighten countless Spiritual Energy Users who Cultivate bitterly.

But for him, it seemed only natural.

Now he possessed the Stage Six Prison Suppressing Divine Body, a Foundation that could be called a "Divine Body."

His efficiency in absorbing and refining Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had reached an inconceivable level.

Combined with the dominance of the Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art, soaring to Level 70 overnight was a natural progression.

After stepping into the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had come to understand.

The core of this Realm lay in tempering and strengthening the Divine Soul.

Every upgrade required a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish and temper that invisible, intangible, yet vital "Divine Soul."

For every bit of Spiritual Qi absorbed and refined, the Divine Soul became more solid, perception became sharper, and control over his own power became more exquisite.

Therefore, the advancement of this Realm was not just an increase in the quantity of spiritual energy, but a leap in the spiritual level.

At this moment, his spiritual energy was as vast as the sea, and his Divine Soul was as condensed as a diamond.

He had become stronger.

But he couldn't stop there.

Although he could now kill an Evil God, there were certainly even more powerful existences in this world.

He had to continue becoming stronger, strong enough to crush everything, strong enough to control everything!

A new day had begun; it was time to find new prey, earn points, and continue growing stronger.

Thinking this, he picked up the Spiritual Energy Bureau's dedicated terminal on the bedside table and unlocked the screen.

He habitually checked the news from last night until now.

As expected, the news of the Evil God Cult's destruction and the slaying of the Evil God.

Had already begun to spread rapidly, causing a massive wave of excitement.

Although he had refused the medal-awarding celebration ceremony.

After all, that was truly meaningless and a waste of time.

But the Spiritual Energy Bureau clearly wouldn't let such a monumental achievement go unheard.

To this end, the Spiritual Energy General Bureau issued a major announcement in rigorous yet barely concealed passionate wording.

They defined his eradication of the Evil God Cult as a "historic and great victory for the Dragon Country's spiritual energy circle" and a "key battle in dispelling the shadows looming over the nation."

Various awards and commendation documents flew in like snowflakes, praising him to the extreme and pushing Chen Nian's achievements to an unprecedented height.

It could be said that the Spiritual Energy Bureau was exhausting its resources and making a grand display of it.

They were determined to shape the name "Chen Nian" into a banner and symbol for the Dragon Country, and even humanity, in the fight against darkness.

When people saw the disclosed information, they were shocked, horrified, and incredulous.

"The Evil God Cult? Oh my god, were those bastards really uprooted?"

"It's Chen Nian! It's Master Chen Nian again! He wiped out the Evil God Cult by himself and even killed the legendary Evil God!"

"Good heavens! Is this really something a human can do? Has Master Chen Nian already become a god?"

"I knew it! Master Chen Nian is invincible! Demonic Evils or Evil Gods, they're all just trash before the Master!"

"The Guardian God of the Dragon Country! A well-deserved Guardian God!"

On the internet and the Spiritual Energy Bureau's internal channels.

Various comments of amazement, worship, and praise swept through every corner like a tsunami.

Chen Nian's reputation was pushed to its true peak at this moment, reaching a point as radiant as the midday sun, unmatched by anyone.

Looking at these messages, Chen Nian couldn't help but let a slight smile curl at the corners of his mouth, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Although he had refused that time-wasting commendation ceremony—after all, in his view, that time would be better spent killing more Demonic Evils to earn points.

He didn't actually mind the feeling of being famous and respected.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to these trivialities.

After all, praise and fame were ultimately external things, like floating clouds that could dissipate at any time.

Only the strength one possessed was the eternal truth.

Thinking this, he closed those pages filled with words of praise.

Instead, he entered the Spiritual Energy Bureau's internal task and intelligence channel to see if there were any emergency events or high-value targets worth his intervention.

As a result, he scrolled and scrolled, only to find the channel exceptionally clean.

Let alone high-risk Level 5, Level 6, or even higher-risk events that required his personal handling.

Even the reports of Level 1 or Level 2 Demonic Evils causing trouble or Evil Cultivators stirring up mischief, which were common on ordinary days, had plummeted.

The entire Donghai City and its surrounding areas seemed to have entered a peaceful and prosperous age overnight, so calm it was somewhat eerie.

Chen Nian frowned slightly.

What was going on?

Could it be that he had cleared out too many Demonic Evils recently, scaring those guys into hiding?

However, he didn't think too much about it.

When in doubt, go to the office.

As the person in charge of coordinating with him, Sun Li should have more comprehensive and raw intelligence information.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian didn't delay any longer.

He got up, tidied his clothes, pushed open the dormitory door, and walked towards the office.
