185: World Promotion Ceremony, a lot of gains

After properly settling the Old Deng Alliance members, Lin Chen gathered his family and arranged for them to enter the Five Regions Great World.

Lin Chen's family and his great-grandfather's family totaled no more than two hundred people.

There was nothing wrong with Lin Chen helping his family to the best of his ability now that he was successful. After all, people have varying degrees of closeness, and as long as he didn't turn shared resources into private ones or encroach on the interests of others, it was acceptable.

Finally, Lin Chen thought for a moment and sent messages to Zhou Heshan and a group of his high school classmates, asking if they wanted to immigrate to the Five Regions Great World and develop there.

In essence, Lin Chen was inviting people he knew to join in, offering them some benefits, simply because they were classmates.

His classmates were all very sensible; they knew that Lin Chen was thinking of them and giving them a hand, so they all expressed their willingness to move to the Five Regions Great World for development.

Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve knew the underlying reasons. They didn't get immigration quotas, but they didn't ask Lin Chen for special favors either. Their relationship needed to be maintained, and a single opportunity shouldn't consume their mutual affection.

The Five Regions Great World immigration project was a major news item in the Federation recently. Although they didn't know its true nature, anything promoted by the Federation was certainly good for ordinary people like them.

This was the Federation's reputation over the past thirty thousand years; the Federation's citizens trusted the Federation, and the Federation had not let down its citizens' trust.

Time flowed by, second by second.

After settling his family and friends, Lin Chen had been in seclusion, cultivating in the core origin land of the Five Regions Great World.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall back.

Even if he cultivated a few days less, it wouldn't matter, but Lin Chen still didn't want to waste these few days, refusing to neglect his cultivation for even a single day.

“What a magnificent scene!”

Lin Chen was awakened from his meditative state. The world promotion ceremony had already been arranged, and he needed to study it in advance to ensure the upcoming ceremony proceeded smoothly and the world was successfully promoted.

Actually, there wasn't much to learn. The Alliance Leader, Old Deng, just needed to explain the process to him. He was, to be precise, a tool, a vessel for the world promotion ceremony. He didn't need to do much himself, only remain on the altar.

Everything was ready, and the world promotion ceremony began.

In the center of the Land Domain's fifth layer, a towering altar stood on the ground.

At the center of the altar was a high platform, and atop that high platform was Lin Chen's position.

During the upcoming ceremony, Lin Chen only needed to stand on the high platform and do nothing else; he just needed to stay there, and others would take care of the other matters.

Around the altar, densely packed, seemingly over ten thousand Human Race Gods returned to observe the ceremony. If they had free time, their true bodies would surely arrive; at the very least, they would send an avatar.

The promotion of an Upper God-level Great World to the Main God level meant that merely observing the promotion ceremony offered them self-evident benefits.

Below the altar were densely packed onlookers, encircling the altar in rings. Each person's position was arranged according to their cultivation and contribution.

The closer one was to the altar, the higher their cultivation and the greater their contribution, with the exception of those who entered the Five Regions Great World through Lin Chen's connections; everyone else was arranged this way.

The contributions required from those individuals would be deducted from Lin Chen's merits, ensuring that others would not suffer any loss and fairness would be maintained.

Subsequently, three Upper Gods, forty-five Middle Gods, and three hundred Lower Gods emerged from the group of Gods. Behind them followed nine hundred ninety-nine Human Race cultivators of the Ninth Order Gods.

Among them, Lin Chen recognized a few of the Ninth Order Gods whom he had met on the One-Eyed Giant Ancestral Star. They were all domain-level prodigies, possessing heaven-defying strength and astonishing human luck.

These more than a thousand individuals ascended the altar and, according to a specific formation, sat cross-legged on the already prepared prayer mats surrounding the high platform.

When the world was promoted, they could utilize the assistance brought by the world's promotion to break through their current realm, saving countless years of arduous cultivation.

The three Upper Gods surrounded the high platform in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Behind each of them, in their respective directions, were fifteen Middle Gods, one hundred Lower Gods, and three hundred thirty-three Ninth Order Gods.

After everyone was in position, the Human Race Foundation Level existences appeared.

Fifty-two illusory figures floated above the altar, standing behind Lin Chen.

At this moment, the gazes of all living beings in heaven and earth converged upon Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't feel anything particular, nor did he show any signs of immense pressure. He simply felt that this was a special and very interesting experience.

“The World Promotion Ceremony begins.”

“First step: Summon human luck!”

A grand voice echoed through the sky.

The fifty-two Foundation Level illusory figures acted, jointly summoning a river of human luck.

The river of human luck was the real-world manifestation of human luck.

The river of human luck hovered above Lin Chen's head, and then colorful specks of human luck light drifted down like falling snow.

Ten percent of it merged into Lin Chen's body, forty percent merged into the more than a thousand people on the altar, and the remaining fifty percent scattered, merging into the countless onlookers.

“Second step: Sacrifice human luck.”

As the human luck light dissipated, the altar quietly began to change. On the thousands of steps at the altar's edge, one after another, Gods who originally belonged to the Five Regions Great World appeared.

At this moment, they were the three sacrificial animals for human luck.

Starting from the first step of the altar, one by one, the once high and mighty Five Regions Gods silently Dao Oblivion. Their Godheads, divine souls, divine power, and divine bodies all transformed into the purest energy, merging into the river of human luck.

human luck didn't need these powers; what it needed was the human luck carried within these powers. After devouring this human luck, it meant that human luck had completely occupied the Five Regions Great World, enveloping and influencing its development.

“Third step: Dao Oblivion evolution.”

The Land of Fallen Dao, condensed into a sphere, appeared in Lin Chen's hand. Lin Chen understood. He directly crushed the sphere, releasing the compressed Land of Fallen Dao within.

The Land of Fallen Dao rapidly expanded, and under the reversed refinement of This Universe's rules, a large amount of energy capable of nourishing the world was released, spreading from the fifth layer of the Land Domain to the entire Five Regions Great World.

At this point, the river of human luck approached the Land of Fallen Dao, further refining it and increasing the speed of energy release.

Now, the world promotion truly began.

Countless massive energies continuously merged into and spread throughout the entire Five Regions Great World.

During this process, the world's rule power continuously strengthened, and the world itself expanded and intensified, its area and strength constantly increasing.

All living beings within the Five Regions Great World could also absorb the energy that allowed the world to be promoted, whether for cultivation, breaking through realms, or comprehending rules—all were excellent choices.

Lin Chen had already entered a state of enlightenment.

Countless rules revolved around him, unreservedly showing him everything, eager for Lin Chen to comprehend them.

But Lin Chen was a very focused person, only concentrating on comprehending the Causality Dao. His mastery of the Causality Dao continuously improved, increasing by 0.1% in a short time, reaching 1.43% mastery of the Causality Dao.

Overwhelming energy poured into Lin Chen's body. He passively circulated his cultivation technique, continuously refining the energy into divinity, filling the illusory Ascension to God long steps, solidifying them, and laying the foundation for condensing the second Ascension to God long step.

The more than a thousand people gathered near the high platform also entered a state of enlightenment, with overwhelming energy revolving around them.

The first person to break through their current realm appeared.

The Young Sword God, Li Changkong, was already at the Ninth Order Gods cultivation level. Even without this opportunity, he could have broken through to Godhood within ten years. Now, this time was simply compressed.

However, this opportunity was still very beneficial to him. Breaking through to Godhood was a secondary matter; more importantly, he could unreservedly comprehend undefended rules, immersing himself in the ocean of rules, and improving his mastery of rules.

With the first, the second person to break through their current realm naturally appeared, also a Ninth Order Gods, who naturally began to condense a Godhead.

Compared to a Lower God breaking through to a Middle God, a Middle God to an Upper God, or an Upper God to a Main God, a Ninth Order Gods breaking through to a Lower God was naturally simpler, required less energy, and took much less time.

Below the altar, countless onlookers also entered a state of comprehension. While perhaps not as profound as a genius's enlightenment, their comprehension was enhanced, allowing them to easily understand previously difficult points. Their cultivation speed increased by more than a thousandfold, as if they had returned to the golden cultivation period before suffering the extraordinary curse.

The evolution of the Land of Fallen Dao and the promotion of the world were not things that could be completed in a short time. Therefore, the Human Race Foundation Level existences all appeared, with illusory figures representing half of their combat power guarding the Five Regions Great World, while their true bodies were stationed in the four directions, monitoring everything.

And while the Human Race was undertaking this grand endeavor, the restless Demon Race was also causing trouble.

“The Demon Race is indeed up to something!”
