"I suddenly woke up this morning and found that my realm had broken through. I'm such a genius!"
"Huh? I broke through too."
"How is this possible? Have geniuses emerged all over the place today?"
"Does that mean, brother upstairs, you broke through as well?"
"Damn it, why are so many people breaking through today?"
"By the way, don't you guys suspect it's because the spiritual energy on Blue Star has increased?"
"And not only has the spiritual energy increased, but it seems like the small worlds that have appeared on Blue Star have also multiplied."
...
Looking at the series of comments from netizens above, Ao Yuan's expression turned grim.
It wasn't just the spiritual energy that had revived.
Even the number of small worlds had increased.
This was not a good thing for anyone.
"It seems I need to make plans early."
Ao Yuan retracted his gaze and murmured to himself.
While the increase in spiritual energy could elevate the strength of humanity on Blue Star by a level, the corresponding proliferation of small worlds could plunge humanity into crisis.
Perhaps, in time, the entire world would descend into chaos!
This was not an impossibility.
After all, there were already reports of many small countries being occupied by creatures from small worlds.
"Send word down. Report any anomalies on Mount Taibai to me immediately!"
...
At the same time.
As Ao Yuan sensed the further surge in spiritual energy, various countries were already in an uproar.
In Great Xia.
In the highest conference room of the capital.
Elder Long, Bai Feng, and a group of influential figures in Great Xia were gathered.
"The sudden surge in spiritual energy and the frequent appearance of small worlds require us to make plans early."
Elder Long slowly stood up and began outlining Great Xia's strategy.
"Some people should focus on cultivation."
"Others should strictly monitor all areas of Great Xia. If any small worlds are discovered, the area should be sealed off first."
"If there are any issues, we'll discuss them then!"
"Understood!"
Elder Long's arrangements were agreed upon by everyone in the conference room.
"Then you may all go and make arrangements."
Finally, Elder Long gave some more advice before rubbing his temples and waving them away.
"The descent of the gods..."
After everyone had left the conference room, Elder Long gazed out the window with a distant look, murmuring to himself.
For some reason, he felt that this spiritual energy revival and the frequent appearance of small worlds were strongly related to the "descent of the gods" that Ao Yuan had spoken of.
What puzzled him even more was that since the spiritual energy revival, he had a vague sense of unease.
He couldn't pinpoint it, but his heart pounded incessantly.
In the Northern Bear Country!
The leader of the Northern Bear Country, upon receiving the news, also issued a series of commands immediately.
Fusang, Beautiful Country, Maple Leaf Country, Kangaroo Country...
And so on, each country adopted different approaches, but all were making arrangements for this spiritual energy revival.
After all, no one knew what kind of monsters would emerge from the small worlds.
What were their intentions towards Blue Star?
Under the vigilant watch of these countries,
Small worlds began to appear frequently across the globe within days.
No matter which nation it was, it was plunged into a state of war.
Turmoil erupted everywhere.
Even major powers like the Beautiful Country and Great Xia could not escape.
Especially the smaller countries on Blue Star, they were suffering immensely from the frequent emergence of small worlds.
"Dai Dai... this news..."
In the Dragon Palace, Daixiaomei looked at the news online, her gaze wavering as she looked at Ao Yuan, who was feasting.
During this period, small worlds had appeared frequently, and countries had paid a heavy price to deal with them.
Only Mount Taibai had been lucky enough not to spawn any small worlds.
"We'll stay as we are. There's no need to manage anything."
"Just live our lives peacefully!"
Ao Yuan glanced at Daixiaomei, looking nonchalant and unconcerned.
As long as small worlds didn't appear on Mount Taibai,
It wouldn't affect Ao Yuan in any way.
As for Great Xia,
Although Ao Yuan knew the situation was somewhat unfavorable,
He wouldn't actively help unless Elder Long called him.
After all, things were different now.
Although he nominally held the title of Great Xia's Guardian Beast,
In the eyes of other countries, he had long since separated from Great Xia.
Ao Yuan, as a single beast, could be considered a nation unto himself!
"What does the Beautiful Country mean by this!"
Just then, Mozi, who was nearby, let out a startled cry, drawing the attention of Daixiaomei and Mozi.
Facing their questioning gazes, Mozi took a breath and said with a displeased tone, "The Beautiful Country is taking advantage of the situation."
"They've already started attacking various small and medium-sized countries!"
Ao Yuan's expression changed. He hadn't expected this.
However, this also demonstrated the extent of the Beautiful Country's ambition.
Of course, Ao Yuan knew this wasn't the main point.
The biggest point was that with the Beautiful Country attacking various countries,
The situation on Blue Star was bound to change.
It was likely that "Blue Star descending into widespread war" would no longer be mere words!
"What?" Daixiaomei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Doesn't the Beautiful Country know that the urgent priority now should be to deal with the creatures from the small worlds?"
Mozi shook her head and said, "I heard from others that the Beautiful Country has secretly developed some powerful warriors, and with these warriors, small worlds pose no threat to them."
"That's why they've set their sights on other countries."
Ao Yuan, overhearing this, couldn't help but look at Mozi's phone.
There was a blurry photo on the phone.
Only a rough outline could be seen. In the photo, a warrior appeared tall, seemingly undergoing some form of mutation.
Ao Yuan knew this mutation was related to the Beautiful Country's gene warriors.
However, the gene mutation of the warrior in the photo was slightly different from what Ao Yuan was familiar with.
The gene warriors he had seen were mutated all over, whereas these gene warriors only had one area of mutation.
"Dai Dai, what should we do? Should we let the Beautiful Country continue like this?"
Seeing Ao Yuan look over, Daixiaomei couldn't help but ask.
Everyone on Blue Star knew the conflict between the Beautiful Country and Ao Yuan.
"Continue to wait. You two just focus on your cultivation!"
Ao Yuan slightly regained his focus and said indifferently.
Currently, Ao Yuan didn't take the Beautiful Country seriously.
The most important matter to him was still the descent of the gods!
"By the way, under the invasion of the small worlds now."
"What are the casualties in various countries?"
Ao Yuan thought for a moment and asked again.
"According to statistics, approximately three million people worldwide have died due to the outbreak of small worlds so far."
Saying this, Daixiaomei's mood became somewhat somber.
Ao Yuan also fell silent.
One had to consider that this was just the beginning, and so many people had already died from the outbreak of small worlds.
No one knew what the future would hold!
In an instant, Ao Yuan's thoughts raced, and his desire to improve himself became even more intense.
Although he was a dragon and, in name, the strongest being on Blue Star,
As the spiritual energy revival steadily progressed, he also needed to find a way forward.
