In the void, numerous chaotic energies exist. When these chaotic energies are incorporated into skills, they can evolve ordinary skills into "奥义" (Ao Yi) level skills, greatly increasing their power.
In reality, the greatest dividing line for A-rank is between before and after reaching the 50th Divine Tier. The former is a process of fusing origins to elevate one's life tier, where defeating enemies ten tiers higher is commonplace. The latter is ascending the power system to the "Law" tier, where every action can achieve unity of heaven and man, invoking the power of laws to forcefully suppress enemies below the 50th Divine Tier.
After Yu Zhibo's level increased to the 30th Divine Tier, besides his mana and health becoming higher, his ability to draw upon the energy in the void and chaos became more effortless, but it did not show explosive growth.
However, Yu Zhibo was already very satisfied. After all, he had only awakened for less than a year, although he had spent nearly 800,000 characters in about half a year.
At this moment, as the fate of the world's nations drew to a close, the distribution of various forces began to gradually become clear. The most powerful among them were the extraordinary beings of the ocean sequence. Besides the seven major continental sea beast forces that were already known, no one knew what terrifying existences lurked in the depths of the ocean.
Relatively speaking, although the land demons were also demons, due to the continent being ruled by humans for a long time, the number of powerful individuals born was limited, making them the weakest group. Now, with the fall of various countries and the shroud of ghost realms over the land, they were reduced to less than one in ten.
Next was Dragon Country. Excluding the peak combat power of Wang Taixu, who could not use his strength, the extraordinary forces of Dragon Country, led by Wang Shouyi, also began to experience explosive growth. Various extraordinary resources were poured into the newly born extraordinary individuals, allowing their cultivation progress to advance by leaps and bounds. At the same time, a batch of veteran A-rank powerhouses also successively entered the Law tier, with the number of Law combatants second only to the ocean forces.
Following that was the Lighthouse Demon Country. The Demon Queen had earlier issued a recruitment order, attracting a large number of black demons to defect. Then, the Queen extracted a vast amount of demonic energy to bestow upon various black demons under her command, allowing them to absorb the demonic energy and officially become demons by entering the A-rank. Their overall strength was also rapidly increasing, and even above the Lighthouse Country, the demonic fog had already obscured the sky, making it almost impossible to see the sunlight.
After that, there were the ghosts that emerged from the Gates of Hell, and the powerful anomalies that arose from the destruction of many countries. However, these specters and anomalies were mostly scattered and disorganized, and should not have been a cause for concern.
It was only a short while ago that a ghost king-level evil spirit, calling himself King Chu, stepped out from the Gates of Hell. His strength directly increased from the 30th Ghost Tier to the 80th Tier. In just a month and a half, he had begun conquering the eight directions of the ghost realms, intending to rebuild the cycle of reincarnation in hell and had taken in many powerful anomalies above the 50th Tier, making them a force that could not be ignored.
King Chu established a ghost kingdom in Antarctica, occupying the entire continent. At that time, the ghost kingdom was filled with chilling winds, and冥气 (Ming Qi) shrouded the land day and night, with the occasional chilling cries of evil spirits, making it a paradise for ghosts and anomalies. Their primary prey were various powerful sea beasts, as the strong physiques and demon souls of the sea beasts were their most coveted supplements.
Now, the realm of the Ghost King was unknown, but on January 15th, the Sea Cow King of the Indian Ocean, at the 95th Demon Tier, resentful of his subordinates being hunted by the ghost kingdom, personally led a great army of sea beasts ashore in Antarctica to conquer. As a result, hundreds of thousands of sea beasts became nourishment in the great battle. The Sea Cow King fled in severe injury, his life or death unknown.
On the same day, after obtaining the resentful souls of hundreds of thousands of sea beasts, King Chu used the flesh and blood and nascent souls of the sea beasts as a guide. On that day, a massive Gate of Hell stood between heaven and earth, spewing out endless冥气 (Ming Qi), causing tremors in all directions and making the ghost kingdom even more unfathomable.
Compared to the purgatory-like environment on other continents, Dragon Country, shrouded by its national destiny, was a place of light and peace, filled with vigorous vitality. However, no one knew how long such peace could last.
This was because, whether for sea beasts, black demon races, or ghosts, humans were almost entirely a treasure. Eating them not only increased intelligence but also greatly boosted strength, making them an invaluable supplement.
However, above the national destiny shield of Dragon Country, a colossal phantom in a Taoist robe occasionally flickered, and the pressure emanating from its double pupils made various forces wary, thus they had been holding back.
It was in this environment that on February 4th, the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Zhibo welcomed the most important moment of his life.
He was getting married!
Unlike the entertainment-obsessed online environment before the supernatural was revealed, in Dragon Country at this time, the supernatural had become mainstream. Many entertainment stars, though unwilling, had largely fallen silent. Under the immense pressure of survival, people paid more attention to which extraordinary individuals were handsome and which extraordinary geniuses had advanced. They were no longer as enthusiastic about entertainment gossip.
Except for some veteran actors with excellent acting skills who remained active in the entertainment industry, all the young idols had essentially failed.
Among them, two popular male stars, one surnamed Lu and one surnamed Zhang, successfully awakened and entered E-rank within a month, but their followers were few and far between.
In terms of handsomeness? Extraordinary individuals absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth/immortal energy to refine their bodies, making their physiques flawless and their appearance and temperament evolve towards perfection. Compared to those greasy young idols, they were on a completely different level, and they were also powerful. Wasn't it more appealing to be a fan of them than of young idols?
Among all the extraordinary individuals, Yu Zhibo had the highest popularity, followed by the handsome and powerful Wang Shouyi, and then by many other powerful and good-looking extraordinary individuals. Therefore, when the news of Yu Zhibo's marriage spread, and his bride was Wang Shouyi's daughter, the entire internet exploded.
This day was the darkest day for Dragon Country's female fans.
Not only was Yu Zhibo getting married, but Wang Shouyi, who had always presented himself as a bachelor, not only already had a spouse but also a daughter who was so old. Moreover, his daughter was marrying Yu Zhibo, which was truly outrageous.
"Wuwu, Yu Zhibo is getting married at only seventeen, my youth is over..."
"Director Wang's daughter is a transformed white fox? Doesn't that mean Director Wang's wife is..."
"Don't think about it, upstairs. After demons reach A-rank, they are no different from humans. Spreading rumors will get you killed!"
"Ye Chen, a zookeeper in Tianfu Province, and Yuan Yuan, the panda he has been raising, are also married. The bride is so cute, and after transforming, she still has two huge dark circles around her eyes, which is incredibly adorable. I'm envious and jealous of this 'eating soft rice'!"
"So love can really cross species. I believe in love again!"
"I'm looking at my cat and falling into contemplation..."
"Understood, I'm already on my way to the pet store."
"Wuwu, Miss Chan Yi is so beautiful, even as a woman, I can't help but fall in love with her..."
"It should be the white fox that appeared when fighting alongside Lei Jun. I felt that Yu Zhibo's gaze towards her was not right back then~"
"Congratulations, let me soak in some good luck~"
Bai Chanyi's identity was not deliberately concealed by Wang Shouyi, so the truth was quickly discovered by netizens. The internet was filled with wailing and lamentation, and many netizens even had bold ideas because of it.
For a time, the business of major pet stores across the country experienced a surge.
And on this day, the Ningcheng Garden Grand Hotel was adorned with festive decorations, covered in red carpets, and filled with joy.
At the entrance of the hotel, huge photographs were displayed on the electronic screens on the four sides of the hotel building. The photos showed Yu Zhibo in a red groom's attire and Bai Chanyi in a red embroidered phoenix robe, her face blooming with a radiant smile, beautiful and moving.
