The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Millions of people from the Fire Kingdom, regardless of age or status, gathered in an orderly fashion in the squares of the major cities, following prior instructions.

They were both very excited and nervous at that moment.

They were excited because they could finally leave this caged world and go somewhere else.

Their anxiety stemmed from their uncertainty about whether they could survive in their new home after leaving the desolate region.

Just as everyone was filled with fear.

Two figures suddenly rushed out of the Fire Emperor's Palace and instantly appeared in the sky.

It was Zhu Chen and Huo Ling'er.

"The time has come."

Zhu Chen spoke softly, his voice carrying clearly to every inch of the Fire Kingdom: "Everyone, please follow me into the realm..."

After saying that, he looked down at Huo Ling'er and asked, "Ling'er, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Huo Ling'er nodded solemnly, then closed her eyes and quickly formed an ancient human emperor hand seal with her hands.

In an instant.

The imperial dragon energy within her body suddenly erupted, transforming into a thick, pillar-like beam of crimson-gold light that soared into the sky, merging seamlessly with Zhu Chen's aura!
at the same time.

Deep within the vast territory of the Fire Kingdom.

The ancient dragon vein, which was connected to the fate of the nation, seemed to be completely awakened, emitting a deep dragon roar!
"Boom boom boom..."

The earth began to tremble slightly.

Countless streams of Emperor Dragon Qi of various colors rose from every corner of the Fire Kingdom's territory like rivers flowing into the sea, converging on Zhu Chen at an astonishing speed!
At this moment, Zhu Chen seemed to become the center of the entire Fire Kingdom, admired by countless people!
"--open!"

Zhu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with turbulent chaos, and a vision of creation flashed by.

He raised his hands as if to support the entire sky!
"—Boom!!!"

The world suddenly changed color!

The next second, centered on Zhu Chen, an indescribably huge 'hole' slowly unfolded above his head!

It was a passage that seemed to connect to another complete world!

Inside the passage, one could see the illusory images of mountains and rivers rising and falling, rivers rushing, spiritual energy turning into rain, and rays of light shining in all directions—this was the scene of the universe within Zhu Chen's body!

As Zhu Chen's divine sense completely merged with the earth vein power gathered by Huo Ling'er's imperial dragon energy, the power of the earth veins was completely integrated.

An unimaginable, magnificent power, like an invisible giant net, suddenly spread downwards, instantly covering the vast territory of the Fire Kingdom!
"rise!"

Zhu Chen uttered the truth and raised his arms upwards!
"--boom!!!"

The real earthquake has begun!

It's not destruction, it's 'stripping'!
Under the horrified gazes of countless people below, the earth beneath their feet, where generations had lived, began to slowly rise!

It wasn't a mountain collapsing or a city crumbling.

Instead, the entire vast and boundless land, along with its mountains, rivers, forests, cities... seemed to be completely lifted up from the 'foundation' of the earth by an invisible giant hand!

At the edge of the earth, the soil and rock layers were neatly separated from the other regions of the eight lower realms, as if cut by a knife!
This scene is utterly unbelievable!
Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether citizens of the Fire Kingdom or cultivators from other distant kingdoms who were alarmed, trembled with fear, their mouths agape, yet they could not utter a sound.

They've seen mountains moved and seas filled! But lifting up the entire territory of a nation!
This goes beyond their understanding of "power"!

Ye Qingxian hovered in the air, her dress fluttering in the powerful energy flow, her eyes filled with shock.

"The whole nation ascended... the universe within his body... he really did it. Such a method is unparalleled even in the history I know!"

She murmured to herself, her opinion of Zhu Chen rising once again to an unattainable level.

"Enter my celestial realm and enjoy eternal prosperity!"

Zhu Chen's voice was like a decree from the heavens, resounding throughout the nine heavens and ten earths.

The enormous cosmic passage above his head suddenly expanded, emitting a powerful suction force and a gentle, all-encompassing radiance, slowly drawing in the vast land that carried billions of lives!

Looking up from below, it looks like a continent slowly sinking into a radiant 'lake'.

As the last mountain range disappeared into the cave entrance where chaos and starlight intertwined.

The entire territory of the Fire Kingdom has completely disappeared from the map of the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm!
All that remains is a massive, bottomless sinkhole.

……

And this moment.

Inside Zhu Chen's cosmic cave.

The millions of people of the Fire Kingdom felt a violent tremor in the heavens and earth and a change in light and shadow, as if they had traversed endless time and space.

Once everything settled down, they were shocked to find that they were still standing on familiar land. The capital was still the capital, and their hometown was still their hometown, but when they looked up, they could see a brand new sky!

Although the illusory images of the sun and moon there were not perfect, they exuded vitality.

The spiritual energy in the air was several times denser than outside, and one could feel their cultivation subtly increasing with every breath!
"The Fire Kingdom's territory is now established, and the rules of this world are complete. From now on, your cultivation here will be no less than that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."

At this moment, Zhu Chen's voice suddenly rang out in every corner of the cave world: "From this day forward, I will be the ancestral spirit of your Fire Kingdom. Our fates will be intertwined, and we will share life and death!"

His announcement concluded.

A mysterious and profound power of law instantly permeated the entire cave world.

Every citizen of the Fire Kingdom, regardless of their cultivation level or where they were, clearly felt an invisible bond between themselves and Zhu Chen.

This bond is not one of enslavement, but rather a contract of symbiosis and protection.

From now on, the spiritual energy that dissipates in their daily spiritual practice will all follow this link, transforming into pure and boundless incense offerings and aspirations, converging towards Zhu Chen.

Ultimately, it became part of Zhu Chen's power.

"Is this the power of incense and faith in the divine kingdom system?"

Zhu Chen closed his eyes and felt the vast, ocean-like power of faith surging from his cave world, eventually merging into his cave's origin.

These powers of faith are incredibly pure, not only accelerating the evolution and stabilization of his grotto-heaven world, but also nourishing his primordial spirit and enhancing his understanding of the laws.

Even at critical moments, he can mobilize this power of the people's will and unleash incredible supernatural abilities!
Incense offerings have become a path to divinity; this is the ancestral spirit system created by the Willow God!
Zhu Chen slowly descended from the sky and stood on the sacrificial spirit mountain formed by his divine power.

"The first step has been achieved."

He raised his head, and his sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the membrane of the cave and directly reflect onto the nine heavens and ten earths of the upper realm!

"Then next, I should also go to the Upper Realm and meet with the Underworld."
