As the news of the Eastern Nation being annihilated by the Dragon Nation's necromancer rapidly spread across the world, the international community erupted.
Many countries felt deeply satisfied. Because the Eastern Nation's behavior in many areas had long displeased many countries.
But since the Eastern Nation was one of the top ten nations in the world, and its strength was not weak, and because it previously had the support of powerful nations like the Beacon Nation and the Cold Nation, those countries that had been bullied by the Eastern Nation, even though they were unhappy, had only dared to seethe silently.
Now, seeing the Dragon Nation destroy the Eastern Nation, countless countries felt nothing but joy.
And through this event, the Beacon Nation and the Cold Nation had essentially made their stance clear.
At the Eastern Nation's most critical moment, they did not step in to aid it.
Elfa even joined forces with Kwon Jihyun to fight the Hell Hunter form of Inoue Amano.
They had essentially recognized the Dragon Nation as an ally.
Of course, they no longer had the strength to oppose the Dragon Nation anyway.
Because the necromancer had awakened.
With Zhang Yue's current strength, even if Elfa and Kwon Jihyun joined together, they could never beat him.
If Zhang Yue wished, he could make the Beacon Nation and the Cold Nation vanish from the world just like the Eastern Nation.
The reason Zhang Yue did not do so was because of how both nations behaved when he was trapped in the God Realm.
Everyone knew this clearly.
Countless people secretly felt relieved, grateful that they had not continued opposing the Dragon Nation back then.
That single decision saved their lives.
Only the whereabouts of Inoue Amano and Demon Emperor Yu remained the greatest global concern.
At the moment, with the Dragon Nation as the core and the Cold Nation, Beacon Nation, and Bear Nation as support, a massive alliance structure had been formed.
And now, humanity's greatest enemy was the Demon Emperor.
Of course, only Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin knew that humanity's enemies didn't end with the Demon Emperor.
He wasn't even the primary one.
The real threat came from the God Realm.
Compared to the enemies within the God Realm, Demon Emperor Yu was nothing more than a trivial underling.
———
"So our most urgent priority is to find a way to re-enter the God Realm as soon as possible, wipe out every monster there, and rescue Xingtian."
[Night Fell]
Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin sat on the rooftop together, watching the moon.
This warm and beautiful scene was clearly visible to Ouyang Linger, Liyue, Wu Haotian and the others who were grilling food behind them.
"What do you think Brother Zhang Yue and Sister Zijin are talking about?", Ning Tiantian held a grilled corn in her hand and asked curiously.
"Adult matters. Kids shouldn't meddle," Wu Haotian said, "Eat your corn."
"Oh," Ning Tiantian nodded obediently and went to the side to eat.
———
[On the Edge of the Rooftop]
Zhang Yue looked up at the night sky and said, "Then we re-enter the God Realm."
"At the latest, one week."
Chen Zijin looked at Zhang Yue with disbelief, "One week?"
"We only just reached World 57. You think we can clear all one hundred worlds in a week?"
"What's wrong, don't believe me?", Zhang Yue glanced sideways at her and smiled, "How about a bet? If I clear all one hundred worlds within a week, you agree unconditionally to any one request I make."
Hearing this, Chen Zijin's face flushed, "It can't be anything too much."
Then she countered, "Then if you don't clear all one hundred worlds in a week, you must unconditionally agree to one request of mine."
Zhang Yue smiled lightly, "Alright."
Chen Zijin extended her right hand, hooked out her pinky, and said to Zhang Yue, "Pinky promise. No going back on your word!"
"Are you a child? So childish," Even as he said it, Zhang Yue still extended his hand and hooked her pinky.
Seeing this scene, the group behind them started whispering.
"Whoa, they're holding hands?"
"What's the big deal? Couples hold hands all the time. Look at you getting excited. Never dated or what? It's just holding hands, it's not like they're going to bed."
"Ah! So if they're holding hands, what's next?"
"When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt!"
"Oh."
———
The next day, Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin officially began their strategy to clear the fifty-eighth world.
At this point, Zhang Yue had nothing left that needed upgrading.
His transcendent set evolved freely as his level increased, his skills had reached the peak 10S rank, and his body enhancement gave him tenfold increase. All of that depended on level.
So the only thing left for Zhang Yue to improve was his level.
He was now level 430. Between him and level 500, there were 70 levels to grow.
Once he reached level 500 and completed the ninth turn, not only would his strength increase again dramatically, he would also be able to use the Divine Jade given by Xingtian.
No one knew what the Divine Jade would do.
But Zhang Yue had a feeling its value definitely would not be lower than that of the God Scroll.
So next, what Zhang Yue needed to do was quickly break through all one hundred layers of the otherworld and reach level 500.
With Zhang Yue's current strength, he could easily crush even level 500 emperor-level bosses.
It was clear he possessed the strength of the hundred worlds. Using that power to clear the fifty-eighth world would be very easy.
Inside World 58, the level 301–305 monsters were like ants to Zhang Yue.
He only needed to lift a foot to stomp an entire group to death.
Thus, the missions of World 58 posed zero difficulty.
Both world missions were completed in barely over half an hour!
BOOM!
One Thunder's Mighty Wrath instantly killed the World 58 boss.
He stepped straight into World 59.
At the fastest speed, he completed the world mission and challenged the world boss.
Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin's climbing speed was abnormally fast, to the point that it had already attracted global attention.
["The Dragon Nation's necromancer cleared World 58 in only thirty-two minutes? Good heavens!"]
["What was the previous world record?"]
["According to the records, the fastest clear time for World 58 was nine days!"]
["Nine days… thirty-two minutes… that's insane!"]
["And the craziness isn't over. The necromancer's average clear time per world is between thirty minutes and one hour! Today alone, he climbed to World 70, clearing thirteen worlds in a row!"]
["Does the otherworld really pose zero difficulty for the necromancer? Or has the otherworld's difficulty decreased? No, I'm logging on to check!"]
