Chapter 418: Chapter 177: Ruling the World, the Ghost Tide Lands

They saw it.

They saw the endless stars stretching across the Nine Heavens, and they saw a sliver of moonlight shining down from above.

They...

...saw the true face of this world.

No one spoke. Everyone stood frozen in a daze, staring at the scene. It was the first time since birth they had seen a sky full of stars, the first time they understood the meaning behind the poems about stars in the Ancient Texts.

The sheer shock of it made them subconsciously hold their breath.

It was as if everything before them was an illusion.

They feared that with the slightest misstep, everything they were seeing would dissipate like a reflection in water or a flower in a mirror.

...

"..."

Standing on the City Wall of New Continent Base One, Chen Fan also stared at the scene in a trance. In that moment, he even forgot about the reward for "Ruling the World," forgot why he had come to the New Continent in the first place.

The sheer scale and commotion of the event before him surpassed anything he had ever witnessed.

This reward.

It wasn’t a panel that only he could see.

It was...

...a breathtaking spectacle for all to witness.

After dispelling all darkness, the 170,000 golden pillars of light continued to rise, higher and higher, until they seemed to merge into a single, colossal golden pillar at the edge of sight, piercing straight into the Nine Heavens!

The next moment!

The 170,000 golden pillars of light exploded, shattering completely!

The New Continent welcomed its rainy season. ℯ𝓵.

A great Golden Rain, with billions of raindrops, fell from the Nine Heavens, scattering evenly across the entire New Continent and upon every member of the Mortal Realm.

In places unseen by the crowd.

Dozens of thousand-zhang-deep chasms left behind from the Ancient Battlefield, which once billowed with the stench of chaotic gases, began to rapidly grow and close. Where the scars in the land had been, waterfalls and rivers of shimmering white spring water now flowed. Though the rugged contours remained, the malevolent energy was gone, replaced by a blanket of verdant green.

Under the Golden Rain, the purple-black, toxic soil transformed back into fertile earth rich with Spiritual Qi, and countless tender green shoots broke through the ground.

Even the rivers, from their very sources, began to run crystal clear the moment the rain touched them.

As the Golden Rain fell upon the somewhat weary Mortal Realm Members, their fatigue vanished in an instant, and even their hidden ailments were immediately healed.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

Standing behind Chen Fan, Lame Monkey looked down at his own leg, which could now stand perfectly straight. His eyes instantly reddened as he stammered, "I’m not lame anymore, I’m not lame..."

Some auxiliary members of the Mortal Realm who had lost limbs now saw fresh flesh budding from their stumps. In a short while, their limbs had completely regenerated.

Meanwhile, the silver hair of some of the older auxiliary members turned black strand by strand, and many of the wrinkles on their faces faded away.

"ROAR..." 𝚏𝗋ℯⅇ

That was the roar of Hey Hey. The creature was rolling around excitedly in the Golden Rain. Its old Scale Armor was shedding, rapidly being replaced by new scales that shimmered with a golden hue.

The monkeys that always followed Hey Hey also began to screech one after another, sounding extremely agitated.

This was a Golden Rain that fell upon the entire New Continent.

"..."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan looked at the scene before him and suddenly started to laugh.

He finally understood what the reward for "Ruling the World" was.

Normally.

To cover a continent in Ghost Fire, one would certainly have to drive out all the Ghost Objects first. At that point, this Golden Rain would have repaired all the damaged lands and rivers of the continent.

It would heal everyone’s injuries.

It would extend everyone’s lifespan.

Like a victorious Golden Rain, it would bring new life to a continent ravaged by war.

This Golden Rain was meant to fall at the end of a great war.

And aside from that—

He looked deep within his soul, at the notification that had popped up on his Eternal Night Lord Panel.

If the Golden Rain was the reward for the entire continent...

...then that notification was his personal reward.

The two combined...

...were "Ruling the World."

-

「You have lit up all regions of a continent with Ghost Fire, earning the special reward ’Ruling the World’!」

「For the next three years.」

「This continent will continuously absorb Eternal Night energy to form Ghost Ore. The soil will be fertile, and for three years, the continent will not be invaded by Ghost Objects.」

-

"..."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan gazed into the distance, quietly watching the Golden Rain. He finally understood why the Heaven-Asking Incense had told him that if he had enough time, it would be worth it, but otherwise, it wouldn’t.

’Ruling the World’.

’The true reward is the three-year period of peace and stability granted after a great war. Within these three years, the continent can develop rapidly, restore its former prosperity, and will not be attacked by Ghost Objects.’

’I don’t know how much Ghost Ore will be formed.’

’But I’m sure it won’t be a small amount.’

’Was it worth it?’

’I think it was.’

’As for what’s most important now—’

He took a Sound Transmission Talisman from his robes and contacted Wang Kui via the Signal Tower installed in the Undersea Tunnel. "Bring all the Mortal Realm Members to the New Continent. Immediately."

"And be quick about it."

’This rain can extend lifespans and heal hidden ailments.’

’It’s a massive opportunity that can’t be missed.’

’I don’t know how long this Golden Rain will last, but I need to get all the Mortal Realm Members here first. The Jiangbei Defense Line can operate automatically, and a normal rainy season doesn’t require many people to stand guard in the Mortal Realm anyway.’

After the order was given.

The Mortal Realm sprang into action.

Countless High-speed Rail trains, packed with Mortal Realm Members, sped toward the Undersea Tunnel. For many of them, this was their first time setting foot inside it. The New Continent had always been a top secret in the Mortal Realm. Although many members had their suspicions, no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.
