The mont the White Lotus appeared on the boy's head,
it vanished without a trace.
The boy rubbed his eyes,
confirming he wasn't dreaming.
He then pinched his ear hard.
The sharp pain assured him this was all real.
Huh?
At that mont, the boy noticed that his injuries
seed to have fully healed.
Even his cultivation in Genesis had broken through to the next level.
If those bullies dared to co again,
he now had the confidence to defeat them all!
"Sotis, the White Lotus is drawn to special individuals,
like this boy," Big White explained.
"From now on, until he reaches Earth God Rank,
he won't face any bottlenecks."
"This boy might beco very powerful,"
Big White added.
"That remains to be seen," Daniel replied.
Absorbing a White Lotus was one thing,
but talent without growth was aningless.
Besides, the arrangents Daniel had made
at Crossbridge Academy were already capable of nurturing geniuses.
What happened next would depend on the boy's opportunities.
However…
Daniel recalled hearing that this boy
was planning to join Crossbridge Academy.
If that was true, things would likely work out for him.
"Father, I counted about seven or eight thousand White Lotuses.
Should we place them all in the academy?"
Daniel fell silent at Big White's suggestion.
After a mont, he said,
"Forget it. Move the White Lotuses from the barren regions to the academy,
but let the rest remain for people to find on their own."
Dumping all the White Lotuses into Crossbridge Academy…
wouldn't be ideal.
The entire Crossbridge Realm needed balanced developnt.
Although Daniel envisioned the academy as a dominant force,
this wasn't the way to achieve it.
He had already left enough behind for the academy
before ascending to the God Realm.
No need to overdo it.
…
Crossbridge Academy
Now known as Crossbridge Sanctuary,
the academy was set to witness sothing significant today:
soone was about to ascend to the God Realm.
Previously, reaching Tier-Sage Peak
granted imdiate eligibility for ascension.
However, after Daniel revived the world,
the upper limit had risen by a rank.
Now, only those at Human God Peak
could ascend to the God Realm.
Many had already reached this level,
but they were still preparing for the journey.
Today's student wanted to ascend
just to see the sights of the God Realm.
Even so, the event drew a large audience.
Back when Elise ascended,
a massive crowd had gathered to watch.
For newer students who hadn't witnessed such a mont,
this was an opportunity to experience it firsthand.
Not just students from the academy,
but outsiders had also co to watch.
After all, witnessing an ascension
was an event no one wanted to miss.
Under everyone's gaze,
the student began preparing for the ascension.
The first step was to locate the Gate of the God Realm,
then open it by aligning with its guidance.
Once the gate was opened,
the student could ascend.
But…
nothing happened.
The student remained seated without any progress.
In the crowd, a man nad Milton watched the scene,
his expression darkening as unpleasant mories surfaced.
A dreadful thought crossed his mind.
Ti ticked by,
yet the student at the center showed no signs of success.
The observing teachers grew concerned.
"Does it usually take this long to open the Gate of the God Realm?"
"When Elise ascended, it didn't take this long, did it?"
"Yeah… Could sothing have gone wrong?"
The teachers, who had been at the academy for so ti,
rembered Elise's ascension clearly.
Her gate had opened within minutes,
and she ascended alongside Daniel.
Why was this student taking so much longer?
Had sothing gone wrong?
As worry spread among the teachers,
the student suddenly stood up and announced:
"Teachers, sothing seems off.
It's impossible to ascend at the Human God Rank!"
As expected!
Milton, standing in the crowd,
recognized the situation all too well.
When he had attempted to ascend after reaching Tier-Sage Peak,
he had faced the sa problem.
The world's upper limit had risen,
making it impossible to ascend at that rank.
Now, this student faced the sa issue.
It could only an one thing:
the world had advanced again.
It seed that only those at Earth God Rank
could ascend now.
Upon hearing this,
most of the crowd dispersed, disappointed.
If ascension wasn't possible,
there was nothing left to see.
The teachers, however, stayed to console the student:
"Don't worry. Focus on improving your rank, Experience tales with empire
and aim to ascend before the next world advancent!"
"Yes, I will," the student replied.
At that mont, countless white lotuses
began to drift down from the sky,
landing throughout Crossbridge Academy
and causing a stir.
Upon investigation, the lotuses were found to help
individuals break through bottlenecks.
With this discovery, the teachers felt relieved.
As for how to allocate them,
they left the decision to the Logistics Director.
Most likely, the lotuses would be distributed as rewards.
…
"Father, how about I open a backdoor
so the academy's students can enter the God Realm?"
Big White looked at Daniel and suggested.
"No need," Daniel replied.
Through Big White's vision,
Daniel could see the academy's situation.
There were plenty of Human God Rank individuals,
and even one or two at Earth God Rank.
Fortunately, Big White's recent advancent
averted a potential crisis.
Given the current state of the God Realm,
even Earth God Rank ascension was challenging.
Opening a backdoor was unnecessary.
"These White Lotuses will draw plenty of people.
There's no need to rush.
The God Realm isn't a place for just anyone to ascend to."
With that, Daniel shifted his focus away from Riverside City
and toward other regions.
Previously, he had assigned a task to plant trees,
and the five individuals responsible had done remarkably well.
Green had perford admirably in Winterrealm,
even establishing a small Crossbridge Academy
near the Coven founded by Nina,
complete with a teleportation array
connecting it to the main academy.
If Nina found out about this,
Green might have nightmares for weeks.
Nora and Nina were also progressing smoothly.
Nora had reached Earth God Rank
without encountering bottlenecks.
However, she appeared to be intentionally suppressing her rank,
avoiding a quick breakthrough.
If not for this,
she would likely have been the first among the group
to ascend to the God Realm.
To the west, Reed was surrounded by a large crowd.
With Reed's personality,
it was no surprise he attracted so many people—
his charisma was unparalleled.
Finally, Daniel turned his attention to Rose, his daughter.
Rose had beco the most influential figure in the east,
controlling significant territory
and nearing Earth God Rank Peak.
She, too, seed to be suppressing her rank.
Notably, her progress in cultivating the Trees of Origin
was the fastest among the group.
At that mont, Daniel noticed many White Lotuses
heading toward Rose's location.
He imdiately turned to Big White.
"This is your doing, isn't it?"
"Of course! I'm helping my sister ascend!"
Big White replied matter-of-factly.
"She's my sister—
isn't it only natural for to help her?"
