Another year passed...
While the Black Plain Empire was secretly making progress with alien technologies, the Spiritual World was experiencing a technological boom.
Not only the powers involved in developing war technologies for the fate of the world were learning the alien methods. In addition to the powers most concerned with the survival of this world and its people's freedom, some organizations seized the moment for short-term financial gain.
Several blacksmiths, alchemists, array masters, etc., had been working with alien technologies for the past two years, but they weren't just trying to improve the world's powers. Many professionals used part of their knowledge to change pill formulas, array inscriptions, weapon models, and so on. Through these changes, better items became available to those with more resources.
Everything from weapons, defensive items, cultivation items, and even new types of lamps, doors, and so on constantly appeared on the market. All kinds of products were being released, proposing that warriors could fight at a higher level, cultivate faster, rest better, and so on.
As a result, some people became wealthy at an unprecedented rate as their products spread throughout the market.
Before, it would have been impossible for many of these professionals to get enough resources to get protection or access to the world's most advanced powers in terms of brute force. But through this opportune moment, individuals of all kinds gained notoriety for their "revolutionary" products and gradually gained what they needed to gain protection or access to stronger powers.
As a result of this revolution, people who were disconnected from the world's major powers gradually discovered the tragic fate of the Spiritual World!
Until now, only high-ranking professionals, their closest associates, and the major powers of the spiritual world were aware of the troubles that awaited them in the future. But this revolution was attracting the attention of people on every continent and island in the world, and they were gradually realizing the strange situation they were in.
Where would this lead? Few in the world knew at the moment. But some were already beginning to worry as rumors began to circulate around the world!
...
On Elves Island...
Vico had been in this state since he had said goodbye to Maximilian in the capital of the Evergreen Empire years ago.
After more than 2.8 years in this place, he felt his waiting was about to end.
As he sat with some elves and high-ranking members of his empire, he turned his attention away from the topic at hand, the widespread world rebellion, and looked in the direction of the Tree of Life.
"Aurae is about to leave her place of seclusion." Vico smiled as he felt the last Lightning Tribulation strike the woman, but her mental state seemed stable.
Aurae had just endured five Tribulations, which was extreme, but it also meant that the chances of her experiencing another one were very small.
Rare were the beings who had to face so many trials in their divine ascension!
Considering her talent, Vico could feel she would reach level 100 in the next few moments.
All the elves besides Vico turned their attention to where Aurae should be, feeling hopeful about the progress of the strongest of the tribe.
Aurae was second in power only to the leader of the Sky Whale and Dragon tribes, the only ones stronger than her at level 99.
If she really managed to break through to level 100, the Spiritual World would have a better chance than everyone thought!
She wasn't like Vico and Maximilian. She alone could be considered stronger than both of them put together!
Thinking about how much her breakthrough could mean to the Spiritual World right now, all the elves on the island turned their attention to the Tree of Life, sensing the decisive moment for all of them.
And so, on that fateful day, she would succeed in advancing, overcoming the last cultivation bottleneck between level 99 and level 100, and reaching divinity after several tens of thousands of years in this world.
The same phenomenon that had already affected the capital of the Eastern Empire and the Evergreen Empire reappeared in the world, with Ellves Island 'suffering' more than those two places from the phenomena caused by such an advance.
A few moments after the spiritual signs appeared in this place, Aurae left the Elves' Spatial Kingdom through the door of the Tree of Life, returning to her homeland after years of seclusion.
"Sigh... The world seems colder now. The ice age hasn't arrived yet, but it's very close." She murmured, feeling the laws of the atmosphere, before closing her mouth and looking where Vico was.
"Vico Travisani... What happened?" She asked the man, seeing that his island was fine and that the man seemed to be waiting for her.
In that case, something severe must have happened in her absence!
"Lady Aegolor, I'm glad you have succeeded in your attempt to reach the 11th stage. In addition to the two of us, Maximilian has also become a God." He said as he greeted the beautiful woman with a gesture typical of the Spiritual World.
"Maximilian?"
"Yes, but as my lady can imagine, we are in such serious trouble that he and I have given up our war and are uniting with the rest of the world to strengthen ourselves together while we still have time."
"We have time for what?" She became serious, feeling that things were much worse than she had imagined when she had succeeded in her stage advance.
Vico was direct in his answer. "There are enemies of the world in the North Sea, beings who come from another planet. They're going to attack us with everything in about 27 years. The problem with everything, which even frightens Gods like Maximilian and me, is the number of opposing Gods."
"What number?"
"32. Our enemy has an army of 32 Gods." He replied, looking into the eyes of this green-skinned woman with the same colored eyes, giving this expert the first big shock of her existence!
As a powerful and talented elf, she had never felt so pressured as she did right now!
Even though she had reached level 100 and was very talented, there were still threats that could scare even her!
"Shit!"
Vico laughed bitterly, realizing that everyone who reached his level in this generation would be frustrated somehow.
