After a period of time had passed, Ao Yuan had successfully completed his advancement.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for consuming eighty thousand Evolution Points and successfully advancing to the ninth level of the Spirit Manifestation Realm!"
...
A long string of system prompts finally ended. Ao Yuan's face was flushed red, and he felt extremely comfortable.
Ninth level!
He had used the two hundred thousand Evolution Points he had just obtained, along with some previously stored points, to reach the ninth level. He was only one step away from ascending to the Divine Manifestation Realm!
To become a god!
"Awesome!"
Feeling the surging power within his body, Ao Yuan was extremely satisfied.
If he were to face Poseidon now, Ao Yuan was confident he could put up a good fight.
Not by using beast pills, nor by swallowing Poseidon and putting himself in danger.
But a true, upright battle!
"I wonder how powerful I'll be after entering the Divine Manifestation Realm?" Ao Yuan squeezed his dragon claws, sensing the power contained within and feeling a sense of longing.
"Forget it, let's go back first!"
Without thinking for too long, Ao Yuan shook his head and put the matter out of his mind.
After all,
Thinking too much wouldn't directly help him reach the Divine Manifestation Realm. It still required Evolution Points or his own cultivation.
However.
Just as Ao Yuan was about to get up, the system abruptly chimed.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully reaching the ninth level of the Spirit Manifestation Realm and obtaining the Body of the Great Dao!"
The moment the voice sounded, Ao Yuan was still wondering what the Body of the Great Dao was.
But soon, he realized, and an unspeakable joy spread across his face!
A golden light erupted from his body, engulfing him.
Then, his body, wrapped in the golden light, began to undergo a massive transformation.
His body gradually shrunk. His thirty-meter-long body transformed into a size of about one meter eighty-nine.
Then.
His body began to change, and the golden light grew even more brilliant.
At this moment!
Under the coverage of the golden light, Ao Yuan's figure disappeared.
Faintly, a human silhouette could be seen emerging from the golden light.
If any creature that had experienced this were to see it, they would understand!
This was a monstrous beast undergoing transformation!
And at this moment!
Ao Yuan only felt himself bathed in a warm radiance.
Within this light, he could clearly sense his own changes.
His tail slowly shrank, and the thick scales on his body began to transform.
They were replaced by a layer of smooth, white skin!
His claws also began to change, transforming into the unique five-fingered hands of humans.
Gradually, the light dissipated, revealing Ao Yuan's form.
At this time.
He was no different from a human, with a handsome appearance and a strong masculine aura.
The only slight difference from a human was his dragon horns!
His two large dragon horns had not disappeared, but they had become much smaller.
They looked like horns protruding from his head.
Although this made Ao Yuan slightly dissatisfied, he was overwhelmingly excited.
Scanning his current body, Ao Yuan couldn't help but nod slightly.
Transformation!
He had truly transformed!
The transformation he had always longed for since his rebirth was finally complete.
"Speaking of which, it's fortunate that I didn't have enough Faith Points before to buy a Transformation Pill."
A smile played on Ao Yuan's lips: If I had had enough Faith Points before and bought a Transformation Pill, I would definitely regret it now.
You must know that buying a Transformation Pill requires a full ten billion Faith Points!
Ten billion Faith Points are enough to buy many, many things.
However, currently, Ao Yuan didn't have anything in the Faith Mall that he desperately wanted.
"I'll just keep the Faith Points for now, they won't disappear anyway."
After thinking for a moment, Ao Yuan smiled and prepared to get up and leave.
He hadn't forgotten the important matters.
With all the monstrous beasts from various countries now under his command, there were still many things to handle.
However, after taking only a few steps, Ao Yuan's gaze inadvertently landed on a particular direction.
His steps paused slightly, then he turned and slowly walked in another direction.
At the end of his gaze was a weapon shining with a faint, deep blue light.
That was Poseidon's trident!
Poseidon's weapon, just thinking about it made him realize how good it must be.
After all!
This was a god's weapon!
How could Ao Yuan not take such a good item with him?
Now that he had successfully transformed, he could use the trident.
Besides, even if he didn't use it, he could still give it to his subordinate demon kings to use, couldn't he?
Ao Yuan knew better than anyone how terrifying the power of this trident was.
If Poseidon hadn't had this trident before, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
At the same time.
As Ao Yuan left Atlantis.
The World Summit officially began!
On a small island in the high seas.
Rows of exquisite luxury helicopters were parked around.
Every moment, people in suits, solemn and dignified, exuding an aura of superiority, could be seen disembarking.
Their cultivation might not be very strong, and some were very old.
But if this were to be posted online, no one would dare to underestimate them.
Because they often appeared on the internet, and they were not ordinary people.
They were the leaders of various countries, holding the power of life and death for their nations!
At this moment, they were chatting in twos and threes, laughing and talking, and then collectively entering the island's assembly hall.
It seemed like a casual gathering, but if one looked closely, they would notice a lingering solemnity in their eyes.
This emotion seemed to be a reflection of this World Summit.
Precisely at twelve noon!
The luxurious aircraft stopped one after another, and the sound of helicopter propellers in the air gradually faded.
The surroundings of the island fell into silence.
And in the spacious conference room in the center of the island, the hall was full, and every seat was occupied.
But, like the scene outside the island, no one spoke.
The atmosphere was heavy, a silence as if of death.
Finally!
Tap, tap, tap!
Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground echoed. Five people stood up from their seats and walked towards the high platform.
These five people had different appearances, from withered old men to robust men in their prime!
Unanimously, all eyes turned to these five individuals.
Because these five were the leaders of the five most powerful nations on Blue Star!
Dong!
When all five reached the high platform, all eyes converged on them.
This World Summit!
Officially began!
"Esteemed colleagues! Regarding this incident, I did not expect Great Xia to attend as well."
A man with blue eyes and blond hair, around forty years old, standing on the stage, suddenly looked towards Elder Long's position and spoke.
Upon hearing this, the crowd remained silent, but their gazes all shifted to Elder Long.
They were equally curious as to why Elder Long was here.
They were even more eager to hear a different explanation from Elder Long.
After all, this was a meeting concerning monstrous beasts, and Elder Long had always maintained good relations with them!
