Time flies, and a month quickly passed.

Deep within the Xiao Kingdom's palace, Xiao Chen was looking at Lin Yichen and the others with a wicked smile. All four of them had varying degrees of blush on their faces, clearly indicating that they had experienced a lot in the past month.

The reasons behind this are self-evident; those who understand, understand.

"Brother Xiao Chen, are you going into seclusion next?"

Lin Yichen said with some reluctance, and they had already heard Xiao Chen's words. The seclusion that followed would probably last for ten years.

You have to understand that for them, it's like the seven-year itch.

"Yes, time is of the essence, and there are powerful enemies spying on us from beyond Earth. I need to become stronger as soon as possible."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, not only to protect the Earth, but also for his own path to immortality. After all, Xiao Chen knew that with the resources in the Creation Ring alone, he would probably find it difficult to break through to the Great Ascension Realm.

After seeing the evil spirit, Xiao Chen realized that there might still be a lot of resources in the universe.

Since there are things that can help strengthen one's soul, there might also be things that can improve one's cultivation level.

On their planet, there may be some powerful beings. The most important thing for me now is to improve my cultivation.

At the very least, one must first reach the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, one can use everything within the Creation Ring at one's own discretion, and then one can do whatever one wants.

"We understand."

Lin Yichen and the others sighed, while Xiao Chen gave them some instructions.

"During my seclusion, develop the Xiao Kingdom. Also, investigate the location of all spatial altars within the Xiao Kingdom and put them under supervision."

After all, from the memories of the Lord of the Dark Web, Xiao Chen learned that there are about three hundred space altars on Earth, and the territory occupied by Xiao Kingdom is a terrifying one million square kilometers. There must be quite a few space altars there. If an Awakening Realm being were to break out from among them, Lin Yichen and the others would probably find it extremely difficult to resist.

After Lin Yichen and the others agreed, Xiao Chen simply waved his hand and teleported them outside the palace.

"From today onwards, everything in the Xiao Kingdom will be temporarily under your management. During my seclusion, remember not to disturb me unless it is a matter of national annihilation!"

Xiao Chen transmitted his voice, and then set up an array in the palace to prevent it from being disturbed by external things.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan and Qingfeng also sensed something and rushed to the palace. They saw Lin Yichen and the others and immediately understood everything. They respectfully addressed the palace.

"Boss, you can go into seclusion in peace. We will definitely take care of everything in Xiao Kingdom."

"Brother Xiao Chen, don't worry, we will definitely handle Xiao Kingdom well, and no one will be able to threaten Xiao Kingdom!"

"Brother Xiao Chen, we'll be waiting for you outside!"

The group spoke earnestly towards the depths of the palace. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, after setting up the formation, took out a mountain of low-grade spirit stones from his creation, totaling several million pieces.

The moment millions of low-grade spirit stones appeared, the entire palace was instantly engulfed by terrifying spiritual energy, but due to the influence of the formation, it could only remain within the palace's boundaries.

The formation set up by Xiao Chen not only served a defensive purpose, but also sealed the spiritual energy within the palace. The rich spiritual energy carried by the millions of low-grade spirit stones was enough for Xiao Chen to break through to the late stage or even the peak of the Golden Core realm.

Of course, the most important thing now is not to break through the realm, but to absorb the Divine Soul Pill.

With a thought, Xiao Chen took out the Divine Soul Pill and placed it in his palm. When he felt the rich divine soul power within the pill, a look of wild joy appeared on Xiao Chen's face. He could sense that if he fully absorbed the rich divine soul power within, it would probably allow his divine soul to break through to the Nascent Soul stage first.

Without hesitation, Xiao Chen swallowed the Divine Soul Pill. As the pill exploded in his mouth, he felt a surge of intense divine soul power constantly impacting his body.

Xiao Chen did not panic. Instead, he began to absorb the divine soul power within with all his might, and his divine soul realm began to slowly break through at this moment.

Meanwhile, in the capital city, Huang Ziren had received news from his subordinates that Mount Olin, as transmitted back by satellite, was completely deserted, and the traces of battle had nearly destroyed the entire mountain.

Just how powerful are they?

Huang Ziren murmured to himself, "Clearly, the strength of the Xiao Kingdom has once again refreshed Huang Ziren's understanding of them."

His subordinates below spoke with grave expressions.

"Leader, I think the most important thing is not the matter of Mount Olympus, take a look at this first."

After his subordinate finished speaking, he showed Huang Ziren another scene, and when he saw it, Huang Ziren couldn't help but gasp.

The scene above was that of the Rocky Mountains, but the Rocky Mountains had long since disappeared, replaced by an extremely terrifying deep pit, the result of the battle between Xiao Chen and the evil spirit.

"What level of powerhouses were fighting there, that they could cause such widespread destruction?"

Huang Ziren said with a solemn expression. It was obvious that he could not reach this level of destructive power. After all, he was a terrifying existence whose three superpowers had all reached the extraordinary level.

"In any case, we should be careful. I have a feeling that the whole world is about to return to its former prosperity."

As if thinking of something, a hint of apprehension flashed across Huang Ziren's face, clearly indicating that he had thought of something terrifying, and his subordinates reminded him at this moment.

"Leader, there is one more thing you need to know."

"What's up?"

Huang Ziren asked curiously.

"Based on the current situation, it is likely that all the ice and snow in the world will melt away in ten years."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Hearing his subordinate's words, Huang Ziren asked, puzzled, while his subordinate shook his head with a serious expression.

"No, judging from the current amount of precipitation and snow, it seems that apart from a few high mountains, the whole world is about to enter the ocean era."

After saying that, his subordinate handed the investigation results to Huang Ziren. The data made Huang Ziren's face turn even uglier than before.

If I'm not mistaken, it seems that in ten years, only one percent of the Earth's land area will remain.
