I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"Talented people emerge in every generation."

Solomon looked at the black-clad youth standing in the void and sighed deeply.

"His Highness Shen's foundation has already surpassed the limits of Blue Star."

"I accept defeat wholeheartedly."

This is not flattery, but the truth.

Shen Tian did not press his advantage, nor did he make any sarcastic remarks at this moment.

He stepped through the air, his figure moving as if by teleportation, instantly traversing hundreds of meters to appear before the three giants.

As he approached, the remaining violent energy around him all gave way.

"You three are too kind."

Shen Tian bowed slightly, his tone as calm as ever.

"Fists and feet have no eyes; I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

"Those who are accomplished are teachers; in the martial arts world, strength speaks for itself. We truly cannot accept Your Highness's address of 'senior'."

Augustus straightened up, glanced down at his tattered marshal's uniform, then solemnly raised his right hand and struck it heavily against his chest.

This is the highest-level military salute from the Western Sea Federation.

"I, Augustus, in the name of the Supreme Commander of the Western Sea Federation, declare that from this day forward, the entire fleet, fortresses, and hundreds of millions of people of the Western Sea Federation unconditionally endorse the proposal to establish a 'Human Federation'."

Augustus's voice was transmitted directly to the global network through the drones hovering overhead.

"In the future united front of all humanity, the Western Sea Federation will follow only His Highness Shen's lead!"

Arthur and Solomon also bowed at the same time.

Under the gaze of billions of eyes, the three ninth-tier giants completely bowed their heads.

A tsunami of celebration instantly erupted online.

The original tripartite balance of power on Earth was completely shattered at this moment.

The statement from the Western Sea Federation signifies that the grand undertaking of unifying all of humanity is halfway complete!

Shen Tian accepted the military salute from Augustus and the others without hesitation.

He was thinking to himself that he had to give a sweet treat after every beating.

These old guys have been stuck at the ninth level for too long. What they crave most is the path ahead.

He forced his voice into an extremely thin beam of sound, which entered directly into the minds of Augustus and the other two.

"I will remember your profound wisdom today. After the establishment of the Human Federation, resources from all nations can be shared. Furthermore..."

Shen Tian paused for half a second before dropping a bombshell.

"The path to the tenth level is not a dead end. As long as you all do your best, you may be able to reach that level in the future."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Augustus's eyes, which had been calm and still, suddenly flashed with shock.

Arthur shuddered and almost lost his balance in mid-air.

Solomon's previously listless demeanor seemed to have been injected with a stimulant, instantly rising again as if in a final burst of energy.

Tenth Rank!

That was the ultimate nightmare that had plagued the martial arts world of Blue Star for countless years, and it was also the divine throne realm that they all dreamed of stepping into!

Now, coming from the mouth of someone who personally slaughtered a tenth-level god, its credibility is self-evident!

The resentment and humiliation that had just been suppressed were completely erased at this moment, and there were signs of them becoming completely devoted to the cause.

"The Western Sea Federation is willing to serve the Human Federation!"

Augustus's voice grew louder, even carrying an undisguised joy.

This time, he was truly convinced and had no further doubts.

Shen Tian nodded slightly.

He turned around, his gaze piercing through the void, landing on the few surviving global live broadcast cameras.

Although the camera footage was somewhat blurry due to the aftershocks of the battle, Shen Tian's face was still clearly projected onto screens around the world.

"The affairs of the Western Sea Federation have been handled very smoothly. The seniors are all very wise and understanding, which is a blessing for all mankind."

As Shen Tian faced the camera, the lines on his face softened, and a smile reappeared.

"So, what's next..."

He raised his hand and glanced at the time on his tactical watch.

"At this hour, it should be snowing in the Northern Cold Kingdom. I've long heard that the liquor from the far north is the strongest."

Shen Tian looked up, his dark eyes flashing with a light like a sharp blade, his gaze seemingly piercing through millions of miles, locking onto the vast frozen land in the far north of Blue Star.

"Your Majesty Ivan, please prepare a few bottles of fine wine. This junior, Shen Tian, ​​has come to pay you a visit."

Space distorted once again.

Northern Cold Kingdom, Icewind Fortress.

This is the closest super fortress to the North Pole, and it is shrouded in blizzards with temperatures dropping to minus seventy degrees Celsius year-round.

Outside the thick metal city walls, several meters of solid ice had formed.

In the vast snowstorm, a platform stands alone in the very center of the city.

This is a thousand-meter-high platform carved from a single piece of meteorite iron. The platform is vast, like a black shield piercing the sky.

On the high platform.

Only three imposing figures, as strong as mountains, sat around a huge bronze brazier.

The oil from some strange beast was burning in the basin, and the orange-red flames flickered wildly in the gale, dispelling the surrounding cold.

The man in the center had a thick blond beard.

The strongest being in the Northern Cold Kingdom, Emperor Ivan. Late stage of the Ninth Rank.

To his left sat a bald, giant man whose muscles were like cast iron, holding a massive black axe weighing 100,000 jin upside down in his hand.

Ilya, the Grand Marshal of the Northern Cold Kingdom.

Mid-stage of the ninth rank.

On the right was a one-eyed old man, wearing a tattered animal skin coat. The snowflakes around him turned into sharp ice crystals before they even got close to his body.

Archbishop Andrei of the Northern Cold Kingdom.

Mid-stage of the ninth rank.

None of the three spoke; only the sound of them chugging their drinks was clearly audible in the wind and snow.

The culture of the Northern Cold Kingdom is completely different from that of other countries on Earth.

The people of this land have been fighting against the harsh natural environment and high-level beasts for many years.

They admire force and believe in the strong.

They saw the live stream from Poseidon City very clearly just now.

Emperor Ivan the Great put down his wine jug and exhaled a puff of white mist carrying a strong smell of alcohol.

He looked up at the gray sky.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

Ilya wiped the snow off his bald head.

"If we can't beat them, we can't beat them, Augustus. If we can't beat those guys, we might not be able to either."

"I think that young brother Shen Tian hasn't used his full strength yet."

Andrei's single eye flashed with a wolf-like ferocity, and his body emanated an icy blue chill.

"But thinking about it, it's still quite exciting to be able to fight against such a master!"

The voice just fell.

The snowstorm suddenly stopped.

The sky was filled with white snowflakes, as if the pause button had been pressed, and they were suspended in mid-air.

A boy in black suddenly appeared at the edge of the platform.

The wind did not stir his clothes, and the snow could not get close to his body.

He stood there quietly, yet seemed to become the sole center of this world.

Shen Tian has arrived.
