Chapter 734: Improving the entire world
Although the rise to the Higher Dimension was known to be perilous, it was also filled with boundless opportunity.
The Depravitas and Overlord understood the gravity of the moment. Once Terra ascended to the same existential plane as titanic realms like Graecia or Valhalla, its natural Laws would evolve, its energy would grow denser and more refined, and its potential would surge beyond anything previously possible.
The flora and fauna would begin to transform, breaking through evolutionary limits that had once bound them. The natural bottlenecks that had halted the world’s spiritual and physical progress would shatter. The Level System itself would realign to the new, elevated reality of the world, making it easy for Warriors and Mages to rise to higher cultivation realms.
Then, without any warning, the mark on Vlad’s forehead—the ancient sigil designating him as a World King Candidate—began to glow. The light pulsed brighter and brighter until it was blinding. A powerful vibration resonated through his entire being as his Soul Dimension trembled under the pressure of sudden evolution.
Jormungandr, Fafnir, Ouroboros, and Overlord turned to Vlad in shock as the golden seed nestled deep within his soul began to mutate. Its form twisted and grew until it no longer resembled a seed at all—but rather a radiant golden crown forged from pure Origin Power.
The crown hovered above his head, gleaming like a celestial artifact. Its presence caused the air to warp and the surrounding energy to ripple, connecting him to the very heart of the planet.
The other Depravitas stood in awe, unable to speak as they witnessed the transformation taking place. Vlad had not merely become stronger—he had become Terra’s King, the soul-chosen anchor of its World Will.
Vlad, however, no longer saw them. His mind was elsewhere, flooded by visions and information. Terra, completing its cosmic journey to the Higher Dimension, had recognized him as its sovereign spirit and opened itself to him fully.
His consciousness expanded beyond the physical, stretching across every mountain, every river, every village and city, seeing every man, woman, and child all at once. He was no longer merely an individual—he had become a facet of the world itself.
"Omniscience..." he thought.
It was the only word he could form to describe the sensation of being one with the World Will. The flow of knowledge—spiritual, historical, emotional—rushed into his soul with overwhelming momentum. And yet, despite its sheer magnitude, it felt nurturing rather than destructive. It was like standing in the middle of a raging storm and being untouched by its chaos.
