In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Deep beneath Kirishima, the chaotic feast over the Wooden Crystals finally came to an end. Only a handful of unwilling stragglers remained, still clinging to false hope.
This trip to Kirishima—
Some rejoiced.
Some mourned.
But everyone remembered one name.
Jiang Yan.
He had killed Nehru—right in front of the Lion King Singh, the strongest warrior of India.
The news shook the world.
It stunned every major force.
Nehru was a planetary-level spiritual chanter, second only to East among all illusionists on Earth. More importantly, he wore a Black God Suit.
And yet—
He was killed.
Instantly.
By Jiang Yan.
Even Mo Handsen, the third chairman of the God of War Palace and a third-tier planetary powerhouse, would struggle immensely to kill a planetary-level warrior protected by a Black God Suit.
But Jiang Yan had done it with ease.
Later, confirmation followed—
Martins and his group had also been killed by Jiang Yan.
Panic spread.
Every major force grew cautious, fearful that a single wrong look might provoke Jiang Yan's wrath.
As a result—
Jia Yi of China, Mo Handsen of the United States, Sokolov of the Soviet faction, Singh of India, Easter, Atkin, Yan Hai of the HR Alliance, and most members of the United God of War Palace jointly demanded that Hong and Thor convene a tribunal.
They accused Jiang Yan of violating the laws of the God of War Palace and indiscriminately slaughtering innocents.
What followed—
Was despair.
Hong and Thor made their stance clear on the spot.
They stood with Jiang Yan.
Together, they announced to the world:
Jiang Yan is the true strongest man on Earth.
At the same time, Jiang Yan was appointed Global Chief Inspector of both major martial arts halls.
His inauguration ceremony was scheduled immediately.
The Inauguration
On the day of Jiang Yan's inauguration—
Nearly all world parliamentarians and heads of major forces arrived in person.
The Chinese faction was ecstatic.
The remaining five factions trembled, not daring to show even a hint of dissatisfaction.
After the ceremony, Jiang Yan met only one person—
Jia Yi, representing the Chinese military.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yan handed him ten Wooden Crystals.

"Third Brother—"
Hong stared at Jiang Yan in disbelief.
"Yesterday you were only planetary level eight. Today you're planetary level nine?!"
Thor looked equally stunned.
"Are you even human?"
"I used a few Wooden Crystals," Jiang Yan replied with a smile.
"Just happened to break through."
He glanced at his personal panel.
[Name: Jiang Yan]
[Warrior Realm: Planetary Level 9 (86/100)]
[Spiritual Master – Illusionist: Planetary Level 8 (37/100)]
[Laws: Thunder (23/100 → Small Mastery), Gold (2/100 → Small Mastery)]
[Thunder Domain: Third Level (21/100)]
[Movement Technique: Transformation Realm]
[Spear Technique: Ultimate Transformation]
[Blade Technique: Transformation Realm]
[Techniques:]
• Thunder Prison Suppression Demon (Intro 9/100)
• Thunder God Forging (Stellar Chapter 23/100)
• Ninefold Thunder Spear (Complete)
• Soul Death (Perfect)
Wooden Crystals truly deserved their reputation as the ultimate planetary cultivation resource.
In mere days, Jiang Yan had advanced from planetary level eight to nine.
His spiritual realm had also reached planetary level eight, nearly matching his martial strength.
All thanks to Thunder God Forging.
As for Thunder Prison Suppression Demon—a secret art capable of reaching immortality—
He had only just begun.
But even so, it had already brought him an unexpected surprise.
After only a few days of cultivation, his Thunder Domain advanced to the third level.
An absolute windfall.
"Even with Wooden Crystals," Thor muttered, "this speed is absurd."
"Maybe," Jiang Yan said modestly,
"it's just talent."
Hong: "..."
Thor: "..."
Hong sighed deeply.
"The third brother truly has monstrous talent. He wasn't born a spiritual chanter—he forced his way into becoming one."
Thor nodded in agreement.
They had both tried.
Aside from strengthening their mental power, it had been nothing but wasted effort.
Better to focus on martial cultivation.
"Brother Hong," Jiang Yan said casually,
"do you have any unused telekinetic weapons?"
Hong paused—then laughed.
"You little fox. You've entered ancient ruins and even inherited an illusionist lineage. Now you're asking for my Escape Tissot?"
He waved his hand, and Dun Tian Suo appeared.
"It's useless to me anyway. But you'll need to exchange something."
"You're the rich one," Jiang Yan shook his head.
"The treasure you obtained is far more valuable than you think."
He then placed an item forward.
"A method to break through from God of War to Planetary—plus five Wooden Crystals."
The room fell silent.
This was priceless.
What Earth lacked most was a reliable planetary breakthrough method.
And Thunder God Forging—focused on spirit and will—was perfect.
"Deal," Hong said instantly.
Thor stared enviously.
"How many Wooden Crystals did you actually get?"
"Not many," Jiang Yan replied.
"Just over a dozen."
Thor went speechless.
"By the way," Jiang Yan added,
"In a few days, I'll be leaving Earth."
"To the universe."
Hong and Thor froze.
"So soon?"
"How?"
"The spaceship isn't ready yet," Jiang Yan smiled.
"But it will be."
He was waiting for one person—
Luo Feng.
Once Luo Feng left seclusion—
They would head for Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 12.
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire awaited.
