The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Of course, at this moment, it wasn't just Sheikha who was experiencing this.

Testing institutions around the world are experiencing an unprecedented mass collapse.

……

The supercomputing center beneath the God Tower in the United States.

All seventeen super quantum computers connected in parallel turned red within the same second.

"Beep beep beep...!!"

The alarms blared in unison.

More than thirty analysts in white coats jumped up from their chairs, frantically unplugging power cords, banging on the computer case, and flipping through the operation manual.

An analyst stared at the data on the screen that had overflowed and couldn't be displayed any longer, and instantly covered his head in his hands.

"A generous gift of crab!"

After saying that, he turned to his colleague next to him and yelled, "Report all data immediately! Activate the red protocol! This isn't some ordinary high-dimensional fragment!"

……

Europa Federation, the observation post of the Cathedral of the Covenant.

Several observers dressed in priestly robes were staring blankly at a giant monitoring screen that took up an entire wall.

The screen originally displayed a heat map of global energy distribution.

Normally, this heatmap looks like a very uniform temperature distribution—most areas are cool-toned, a few secret realm nodes are warm-toned, and occasionally a small red dot appears in a certain place, which is considered an anomaly.

Now only one color remains on the entire screen.

white.

The entire screen turned white.

The energy fluctuations emanating from that beam of light were so strong that the thermogram's colorimetric spectrum overflowed to its highest level.

The energy distribution map of the entire blue planet turned into a pure white panel.

It's like the computer has crashed.

A young priest observer cautiously nudged his senior colleague beside him: "Uh...shouldn't this be restarted?"

The senior colleague glanced at him expressionlessly: "Try restarting."

The young priest gave it a try.

The screen flickered twice and then reloaded.

It's still white.

"Immediately report this to Archbishop Gregory of the Vatican...tell him that the energy monitoring system has malfunctioned."

……

At that moment, all major testing organizations around the world experienced the same thing – equipment reports.

All the instruments, whether quantum-level or psionic-level, whether they cost 300 million or 3 billion to build.

When faced with the energy fluctuations of this seven-colored beam of light, they all gave the same response.

Extremely high.

It should be noted that these machines are more than capable of detecting energy fluctuations at the demigod level.

The entire army has now been wiped out.

This indicates that the energy level of the beam of light that burst forth from the sea has far exceeded the scope of "demigod".

It's much, much farther than a fraction of a distance.

And at that very instant when the beam of light shot into the sky.

……

The summit of Kunlun Mountain.

The wind and snow were howling.

Inside the pavilion, Wang Cang sat motionless as always, like an old monk in deep meditation.

He sat there for who knows how long, his body covered in a thick layer of snow.

From a distance, it looks like a stone Buddha forgotten on a mountaintop.

But at the very moment the pillar of light rose...

An avalanche occurred.

It wasn't an avalanche on the mountain.

It was an avalanche on him.

The next moment, Wang Cang opened his eyes.

There was no drowsiness or haze in his eyes.

Only sharpness.

His gaze pierced through the wind and snow, through the clouds, and across an immense distance, locking onto the seven-colored beam of light above the Pacific Ocean.

Then, his expression suddenly changed.

……

At the same moment, in Shenxia, ​​Changbai Mountain, Tianchi Lake.

The surface of Tianchi Lake remains calm and mirror-like year-round.

But at that moment, something moved deep in the pool.

A pair of eyes opened in the deepest, darkest currents of Tianchi Lake.

His amber pupils shone like two lamps in the cold pool water.

The owner of those eyes did not surface, but his perception had already penetrated tens of thousands of meters of water and the entire Changbai Mountain.

Reaching the horizon.

A tiny whirlpool appeared on the surface of Tianchi Lake. The whirlpool was only the size of a bowl and disappeared after spinning twice.

But if someone were standing by Tianchi Lake at that moment, they would notice that the entire Changbai Mountain trembled for a split second.

……

Shenxia, ​​South China Sea, Eye of the Ruins.

This sea area is blockaded by the military year-round, and no ships are allowed to pass within a radius of 100 nautical miles.

It's not because of the reefs, but because there is a huge dimensional rift six thousand meters below the surface.

But the next moment, an extremely strong energy fluctuation swept across the entire South China Sea.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of pale blue light shot straight up from the seabed six thousand meters deep, piercing through layers of seawater and projecting a spot of light more than three kilometers in diameter onto the surface of the sea.

……

Shenxia, ​​Qinling Mountains.

Deep within the dragon vein.

Tens of thousands of meters below the surface, lies a space that has been sealed away for countless years.

A figure suddenly opened their eyes.

……

The land of cherry blossoms, the capital city, Takamagahara.

Yamamoto Furukawa has not yet made any further plans.

But at the very moment the pillar of light rose...

He froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Those eyes, which had been as cold as an ancient well just moments before, suddenly opened to their widest extent.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

Kanzaburo and the other eighth-tier saints behind him were all stunned.

But the reason they were stunned was different from that of Yamamoto Furukawa—they were frightened, while Yamamoto Furukawa recognized what the pillar of light represented.

Further behind him, in the direction of the four islands of the Sakura Country.

The other four auras erupted almost simultaneously.

Yuta Hima.

Tanaka Yue.

……

The other four demigods of the Sakura Kingdom.

The two auras, separated by thousands of kilometers, echoed each other, pointing in the same direction—the seven-colored pillar of light over the Pacific Ocean.

……

The beacon of light, God's mansion.

Adam was still standing in front of that floor-to-ceiling window.

His posture didn't even change—his hands were in his suit pockets, his body leaned slightly forward, and his gaze was looking out the window through the glass.

But the curve of his lips disappeared.

The previous sense of composure, as if "everything was under control," vanished completely the moment the pillar of light rose.

Instead, there was an undisguised greed.

……

The Northern League.

The capital city of Yongdong, the Yongdong Imperial Palace.

The snow in the palace evaporated in an instant; it didn't melt, but rather changed directly from a solid to a gaseous state.

A heatwave powerful enough to distort light burst forth from the center of the palace, vaporizing all the snow within a radius of several hundred meters.

Ivan slowly rose from his throne and looked up at the sky.

The aurora danced brilliantly above his head, but even it seemed dimmed by the reflection of the colorful beams of light.

……

South India, the source of the Ganges River.

An old monk, so thin he was practically skin and bones, sat cross-legged on a blue stone. His body was wrapped in golden chains, each link of which was inscribed with dense Sanskrit characters.

These chains are not restraints—they are seals.

What was sealed was not his body, but the power that might overflow at any time after he cultivated to the extreme.

The moment the pillar of light rose, the old monk opened his eyes.

Those eyes were like two ancient wells.

Calm, profound, and bottomless.
