[World Level Settings:
Ganges World (Fragmented, No Magic)
Small Thousand World (Low Martial/Low Magic – Medium Martial/Medium Magic)
Medium Thousand World (High Martial/High Magic – Super Martial/Super Magic)
Great Thousand World (Complete World, Capable of Nurturing Beings to Transcendence)
Supreme World (Highest-Level World, Capable of Accommodating Tenth-Step and Eleventh-Step Powerhouses)
(Note: Upon becoming a Tenth-Step Transcender, one's existence becomes equivalent to a world. Thus, after transcending, one must depart for the Endless Void to avoid harming the world. In other words, aside from Supreme Worlds, no other world can sustain a Transcender for long, though brief visits are permissible.)
No-Shamelessness: The rewards from the chat group and world consciousness during this world ascension are enough to make one stuffed.
No-Shamelessness: [Designated Red Packet: A Strand of World Origin].
No-Shamelessness: This was given to me by the world consciousness, but it's useless to me. However, since Tong-ge now owns a world, it might be useful to you. Consider this repayment for your past help.
Don't Bully the Poor Youth: 666, so generous!
Hungry Dragon Roars: Tsk tsk, Brother Chu-lan, I want a red packet too.
No-Shamelessness: ...
No-Shamelessness: Group Leader, please act normal. I'm scared (scared.jpg).
Seeing Gu Ruoli's overly sweet message, Zhang Chulan shuddered. However, he didn't refuse her request for a red packet. As a shrewd person, he wouldn't miss such an opportunity to bond with his groupmates.
No-Shamelessness: [Luck-Based Red Packet].
[Group Assistant: Group member "No-Shamelessness" has sent a luck-based red packet. Hurry and grab it!]
[Group Assistant: Group member "Truth-Seeker" has claimed the designated red packet.]
Truth-Seeker: I've already completed the Awakening Ceremony. I'll upload it to the group files shortly for everyone to review.
Truth-Seeker: Also, the world has ascended? So soon? Congratulations @No-Shamelessness.
Truth-Seeker: This means your world will now enter a period of rapid development. With the impending Supernatural Surge, your collaboration with the nation should proceed even more smoothly.
No-Shamelessness: Haha, absolutely! Even without the world ascension, I was confident about securing the partnership.

Wu Tong skimmed through Zhang Chulan's messages in surprise and quickly found the details about his world's ascension.
This was a huge surprise!
World ascension was a monumental event. Not only would it allow for stronger individuals to emerge, but it would also trigger a Supernatural Surge, significantly boosting the overall strength of the Outcast World.
This meant Zhang Chulan and his allies would progress even faster.
Moreover, as a key contributor to the ascension, Wu Tong would receive rewards from both the chat group and the world consciousness.
The rewards for spreading the Divine Ring Master System and those for world ascension were vastly different.
The former was favored by the world consciousness, offering a steady, long-term stream of benefits as the world's power grew. The latter, however, was a windfall—a massive, immediate reward based on Wu Tong's contributions.
After congratulating Zhang Chulan, Wu Tong ignored the red packet frenzy in the chat and uploaded the latest version of the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, derived from the AI Core's simulations, to the group files.
He then hurriedly opened his group storage.
Inside, a mountain of "miscellaneous items" lay piled up—rewards from the chat group and the world consciousness.
Facing this treasure trove, Wu Tong didn't feel overwhelmed but instead grinned broadly as he began organizing everything.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he had everything neatly sorted and even compiled an inventory:
[World Consciousness Rewards:
11 strands of World Origin (for spreading cultivation systems across 11 worlds).
30 strands of World Origin (for aiding the Outcast World's ascension).
Protagonist's Fortune x1.
Primordial Qi's Fundamental Structure Analysis.
Civilization Authority (Prototype).
Complete Collection of Qi Cultivation Techniques from Ancient and Modern Sects...
(Note: During the "Outcast" arc, Wu Tong lacked access to the Akashic Records, so only extant techniques were collected, not lost ones.)
[Chat Group Rewards:
Sun Scripture of the Sky-Shrouding Technique.
Sun Law x1.
Nine Breaths Revival (One of the 36 Heavenly Methods).
30 strands of World Origin (for aiding world ascension).
Materials Package for Crafting the Fengshen Bang (Void Purple Qi, Heavenly Dao Rules, Divine Path Laws, Imperial Path Laws, Indestructible Origin Crystal...).
Looking at the list, Wu Tong couldn't stop smiling.
The world consciousness had granted him 41 strands of World Origin, the chat group added 30, Zhang Chulan gifted 1, and he already possessed 1 of his own. In total, he now held 73 strands of World Origin—an unimaginably rare treasure.
World Origin was not something one could obtain casually; it was only given willingly by a world. Its scarcity made it highly coveted, even among Tenth-Step Transcenders in the Endless Void.
The other rewards were equally precious. The Protagonist's Fortune was self-explanatory—a boon to one's luck. As the saying goes, "With fortune, heaven and earth conspire to aid you; without it, even heroes falter."
Enough fortune could turn the world itself into an ally, as seen with protagonists who stumbled upon legacies in cliffs, treasures in trash, or guardians in unlikely places.
As for the Primordial Qi's Fundamental Structure, Civilization Authority (Prototype), and the Qi Cultivation Techniques, Wu Tong was satisfied, though these were merely side dishes.
The real feast lay in the chat group's rewards.
