The moment something changed around Henry, everyone in the Spatial Kingdom shifted their focus to look in the direction where that fellow was meditating.
Those close to Minos, filled with emotion as they sensed this ruler's potential, pushed Emperor Stuart aside and collectively turned their attention to Emperor Quinn.
"Is he finally making progress?" Sarah asked her mother while Gloria's eyes narrowed toward the man now covered in golden spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, Henry was being illuminated by special rays coming from the convergence center of that region of space, as if the heavens were ready to welcome him into their divine realm.
Minos looked in the man's direction and felt the surrounding laws becoming much easier to read than they had been in recent years.
He didn't hesitate to command. "Pay attention to his advancement. Don't waste your time just admiring it!"
The stronger players quickly put aside their surprise and admiration to focus on the opportunity Henry's advance presented for them, while even Voyager couldn't help but take advantage of it.
Even though it was based on a type of cultivation and energy of a higher standard than the humans around it, it was compatible with the powers of this world, and the advancement of a God could provide insights even for it.

'The people of the Spiritual World are truly powerful.' It thought as it considered the things it had learned recently.
It didn't remember its life before it died, but it had heard a lot about its past. That's why it was aware of how fragile many of the natives of The Adamant Land were, despite their unusual ability to develop powerful technologies.
The beings from the Spiritual World were not as technologically advanced, but they had an incredible variety of special abilities that could even compete with those from The Adamant Land.
Voyager could feel this for itself as it watched Henry advance to level 100, learning things and finding it easier to control the technology Minos had given it.
While this artificial being did this, everyone, regardless of their level or race in this Spatial Kingdom, watched Henry's progress carefully, absorbing what they could in terms of understanding.
At the same time, Willow and Aarav could sense that Henry was close to completing his ascent to level 100, which was certainly related to how much younger Emperor Quinn was than they were.
But they were both already in the final part of their meditation, so neither of them was distracted by the feeling of Henry's aura rising to level 100.
Minos felt and saw it and couldn't help but clench his fists in satisfaction and fear at that moment.
'It's time for me to continue my plans for the Spatial Kingdom.' He thought, feeling that, with Henry at level 100, he would no longer have to 'get in the way' of his people entering and leaving his Spatial Kingdom every time he needed to travel or go into seclusion.
Everyone could benefit and grow faster with an alternate entrance to the Spatial Kingdom!
As simple as it seemed to have an entrance/exit beyond the Spatial Kingdom ring, this alone could raise the technological and spiritual level of the Black Plain Empire for the war of the worlds!
Therefore, Minos watched with excitement as Henry advanced to level 100, following his cultivation to the end, until a special aura formed over Emperor Quinn, marking the end of his advancement.
At the same time, a phenomenon that had occurred four times in the Spiritual World in the past 20 years happened again on the Central Continent that day!
In the area where the old Yellow City used to be and where the future new headquarters of the Black Plain Army now stood, the spiritual phenomenon of ascension to divinity appeared on the area's outskirts.
The soldiers in such a place realized what was happening and soon began to take advantage of the spiritual blessings that would come from advancing to level 100. Meanwhile, the strongest understood what this really meant, and soon began to think about the idea that the empire had a God on its side, and not only that, but that the Spiritual World had its fifth God!
...
Thirty thousand kilometers away from the area of the old Yellow City, Maximilian stood on a mountaintop and looked in the direction of the Black Plain Empire with a surprised expression on his face.
"This... That's the mark of a level 100 breakthrough! Who's advancing?" The black-haired man thought, not expecting a new God to suddenly appear without him or the others knowing anything about it in advance.
But his senses couldn't be wrong!
"This is the Black Plain Empire..." He narrowed his eyes, remembering that Minos had attained a Divine Physique. "It can't be... Did he still have a Divine Medicine?"
Thinking about it, Maximilian didn't hesitate to move and crossed the freezing space in front of him, not caring if he would get into trouble for using wormholes to enter Minos' territory.
As terrible as the Ice Age was, it was a danger to those below level 100. The Gods could easily handle the current disaster!
They couldn't solve the problem and return the world to normal. But they could calmly endure the dangers of the Ice Age.
...
As Maximilian moved, Vico realized the same thing as his old enemy and sensed a new God emerging on his continent.
Given his proximity to where Henry was finishing his advance, Vico noticed this advance as soon as he opened his eyes and left his state of meditation.
'That aura?' He looked in the direction of the Black Plain Empire.
It would have taken Aurae and Makai a few hours or even days to figure out what was going on, given the distance they were supposed to be from the Black Plain Empire and the effects of the Ice Age. But Vico and Maximillian figured it out almost simultaneously.
Without further ado, Vico left where he was and headed toward the Black Plain Empire with a strange expression.
It was definitely good that a new God was appearing in the Spiritual World. But he didn't like being surprised like this!
'Who did this? Is it that brat's fault?' He thought of Minos and felt he could no longer let Emperor Stuart off the hook.
'If it's what I think, you'll pay for it, Minos!' He thought as he crossed the space and went to the same place as Maximilian!
...
Meanwhile, inside Minos' Spatial Kingdom, Henry finished his ascent to the 11th stage!
As soon as he opened his eyes and felt his cultivation at level 100, old Emperor Quinn broke into a wide smile and clenched his fists in excitement.
"Level 100! I'm finally a God!" He thought, remembering the Lightning Tribulation he had faced until a few days ago, the moments when he thought he was going to die.
Fortunately, everything had worked out in the end, and he was now at the legendary 11th stage!
