After a few days, Roy was once again trending on major social media platforms.
"MVP of the East China champion team in the national competition, the strongest genius in history, the founder of Z-moves, and now he's being favored by that Master—becoming a divine envoy. How can there be such a huge gap between people?"
"We're both freshmen from ordinary families. I looked at my Onix, who just left the novice stage, and fell into deep contemplation."
"This is absolutely ridiculous! How is this even fair?"
"Let me tell you another terrifying fact—his current record in major competitions is... complete victory."
"Any trainer from the same generation as him is truly unlucky..."
The status of a divine envoy brought tremendous attention to Roy. Not long ago, he thought that his next appearance on the global stage would be when he became a professional trainer.
However, he never expected that it wouldn't take long before he became world-famous again through an entirely different path.
The status of a divine envoy was very prestigious—comparable to that of an Elite trainer—but under normal circumstances, it wouldn't cause such an enormous sensation.
The reason was that Roy had promoted Mew's reputation a bit too extensively.
Being the spokesperson for the strongest god carried incredible significance. Combined with Roy's various amazing performances before this, the accumulated effect caused an instant sensation.
All major media outlets and magazines were digging deep into his experiences over the past year, analyzing his mental transformation journey at each stage, and interviewing Roy's classmates and relatives.
During this process, Roy's Pokémon inevitably became topics of discussion as well.
Inside the World Tree mystical realm, information was isolated and mobile phones had no signal, so Roy remained unaware of the outside world's discussions about him.
However, the soaring popularity points couldn't be faked. After just one day, he had earned eighty million popularity points, which exceeded the total from all his previous championship victories.
"What's happening?" Roy was somewhat bewildered.
Roy didn't understand what had occurred outside until Cole entered the mystical realm again and the two had a conversation.
"Well, this is..." The development of this situation far exceeded Roy's expectations.
Roy had promoted Mew's reputation with the purpose of increasing Mew's influence within the Alliance, making negotiations smoother, and making others believe he had greater protection above him.
However, Roy hadn't really expected everyone to be completely convinced by this. After all, there weren't many Legendary Pokémon that had descended to earth, and there would always be people who questioned such claims.
As long as some people could believe it or harbor suspicions, it would be enough to make potential threats think twice.
But Roy had never expected that the Legendary Pokémon who had descended to earth would collectively confirm the rumors about Mew's strength.
This could only mean one thing.
It seems that Mew has excellent talent and reputation among Legendary Pokémon...
Roy speculated. Only Mew, who was genuinely talented and incapable of deception, could have this kind of credibility.
If the rumor had been that Groudon could fly... Pfft—
Roy couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing about?" Cole asked curiously.
"I just remembered something amusing," Roy quickly composed himself and asked with a smile, "Has the Alliance agreed to Mew's requests?"
"Of course."
Cole understood—if this was the case, it was indeed worth celebrating.
"This mystical realm is officially named the Tree of Beginning Mystical Realm. Within the Tree of Beginning Mystical Realm, the number of investigators can be no more than forty, and they must not approach the Tree of Beginning itself. Once anyone approaches it, the guardian of the Tree of Beginning has the right to expel them unconditionally."
In addition to these main rules and regulations, there were also guidelines about not over-exploiting mystical resources and maintaining sustainable development.
Many small and medium-sized mystical realms were often depleted due to over-exploitation of resources, forcing the Pokémon living within them to relocate.
This was especially true for mystical realms that descended in smaller countries, which didn't have the right to develop independently—making this type of situation most likely to occur.
The resources of a super-large mystical realm like the Tree of Beginning were incredibly abundant. The diversity of Pokémon species was only secondary in importance.
The most valuable assets were the unique resources found within these mystical realms.
For example, there was a massive underground mineral vein in the northern part of the mystical realm. Those special alloys capable of defending against 'professional-level' moves were crafted from this particular ore.
There were also various plants and crops that could only be cultivated within mystical realm environments. These plants and crops contained certain compounds that could extend lifespan, strengthen the body, and treat various diseases.
In cases where mystical realms contained ancient ruins and unearthed advanced technological equipment, they could even advance a country's technological development by several levels.
This was why countries were so eager to access mystical realm resources.
Cole patted Roy on the shoulder and said with a grin, "Out of the forty spots, our China occupies twenty positions. Haha, you should have seen how dark the French officials' faces became. They tried to jack up the prices on us, but now they're the ones getting squeezed! It's so satisfying... This is really all thanks to you, kid."
Seeing Cole so happy, Roy felt good as well.
"It's nothing—this is what I should do."
Throughout his journey, China's officials had taken excellent care of Roy, and several seniors had supported him. This contribution was nothing compared to what they had done for him.
After traveling abroad once, Roy had discovered why trainers needed to band together based on their countries.
Beyond the sense of national identity, the reality was that international competition was incredibly intense. If you didn't choose to align with a collective group, you simply couldn't survive on the trainer's path.
Seeing the rookie trainer who had once asked him about basic trainer knowledge grow to a level where he could give back to his country, Cole felt deeply gratified.
"Are you planning to stay in the Tree of Beginning mystical realm for a while?"
Roy nodded. "I'll be training for some time under the guidance of Mew and the three Divine Pillars."
With that Master around, there was no need to worry about Roy's safety. Cole said enviously, "Treasure this opportunity."
After finishing their business discussion, the two chatted about the outside world.
For instance, this year's European Youth Championship had been forcibly terminated due to the uncontrollable factor of the 'dimensional disturbance.'
The Battle Tower competition venue had been torn open and was still under reconstruction, leaving the organizers with no spare capacity to hold the tournament.
Fortunately, with the reputation of "The Strongest God, Mew" spreading far and wide, the publicity effect of this competition had met its standards and even far exceeded the organizers' expectations.
Roy suddenly asked, "Uncle Cole, I want to ask you something... How should one advance beyond the professional level? Is it related to optimizing energy structure?"
Hearing this, Cole showed a surprised expression.
"As expected of you... You haven't even reached the professional-level threshold yet, but you've already encountered the concept of 'advanced energy.'"
Cole sighed a few times, then nodded and confirmed, "For professional-level Pokémon to advance further, the key lies in the high-energy zone—"
