“Awaken!?”  Murmuring to herself, Elsa’s beautiful eyes reflected confusion and lack of understanding.

She failed to understand who that figure was, nor why she needed to awaken. However, a moment later, as if sensing something, she couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

A force seemed to surge from deep within her blood, making her body difficult to control.

Her blood felt as if it was burning, and scenes flashed in her mind.

At the same time, Yu Zi Yu also witnessed it.

*Boom!* With a resounding boom, Elsa’s entire body began to slowly rise.

*Crackle, Crackle…* At the same time, bolts of flickering lightning started gathering above Elsa’s head. What was even more amazing was that an ocean had manifested around Elsa.

Everything within a thousand meter radius had transformed into seawater. Its deep blue color was flawless, and couldn’t be seen through at a glance, as if it was surging with some mystical power.

At this moment, a golden fish tail flicked through the water, creating waves through the ocean with a loud and crisp splash.

However, if one looked closely at the waves, they would find scenes after scenes playing within the waves.

In one of the scenes was an ancient altar, with countless Merpeople seemingly praying around it.

Another scene showed a vaguely discernible yet extremely enchanting Mermaid dancing in a crystal palace.

As these images flashed with the waves, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes couldn’t help narrow slightly.

“So this is awakening…” Muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

He couldn’t help but admit that this kind of awakening was mysterious.

The so-called inheritance was buried deep within the bloodline. When the bloodline ignited, one inheritance after another would flood into the inheritor’s mind.

The higher the bloodline concentration in the blood, the longer the bloodline would burn.

“With this, the future will undoubtedly be ruled by bloodlines…” Yu Zi Yu smiled in his heart, but he was not that concerned about it.

He did not possess any notable bloodline and didn’t need one. His inherent power was already sufficient.

Currently, he was more intrigued by Elsa’s breakthrough.

[With her Innate Talent and this grand opportunity, breaking through to Tier-4 shouldn’t be too difficult. I hope…] In Yu Zi Yu’s doubtful gaze, Yu Zi Yu saw the blonde girl slowly closing her eyes, with her golden fish tail slightly curling up, as if coiling around her.

At the same time…

*Splash, splash…* Waves rolled in before a Soul-piercing voice, coming from an unknown source, resonated throughout the space.

The voice was ethereal and otherworldly, and reached straight to the Soul. Even Yu Zi Yu felt his Soul slightly shake. He felt as if he was being baptized.

“Hmmm, her breakthrough is even affecting me…” Surprised, Yu Zi Yu noticed his own Spiritual Energy increasing, albeit slowly.

More importantly, his Soul seemed to be purer.

…

Time slowly passed by, and during this time, the world outside Misty Mountains had undergone a tremendous change.

Rifts appeared across various parts of the world all of a sudden, without any prior signs. One after another, black line-like cracks tore through Space, followed by the emergence of nine-colored Spiritual Energy.

This nine-colored Spiritual Energy seemed like a Supreme Treasure; a mere touch caused one’s blood to boil.

What was even more shocking was that some individuals even broke through right away.

This scene deeply affected the nerves of every Human and even the Mutant Beasts.

In both cities and the wild, wherever a rift appeared, it was inevitably accompanied by countless acts of carnage.

Just yesterday, a small town in China witnessed a kilometer-long rift appearing in the sky above.

However, before the town’s people could even rejoice…

*Roar, Roar, Roar…*

*Screech, Screech, Screech…*

A beast tide, far exceeding any seen before by tenfold or even a hundredfold, surged towards the town. Within half a day, this small town was wiped off the map.

Afterward, an earth-shaking roar reverberated across the sky.

According to rumors, some saw a Giant Bear, as tall as a mountain, rising from the ground.

The nine-colored spiritual light was indeed a Supreme Treasure. However, simple treasures stirred the hearts of men and beasts alike, not to mention Supreme Treasure like this.

Not only Mutant Beasts and Humans fought over it, but even some cities witnessed Humans killing each other.

In no time, the entire continent, or rather the entire world, underwent drastic changes.

With the outflow of the nine-colored Spiritual Energy, countless greedy eyes fixed on these rifts. Blood dyed the land red, with severed limbs and mutilated carcasses scattered across the land.

The world plunged into an endless slaughter and ceaseless chaos.

And this only marked the early signs of the Third Spiritual Energy Tide’s arrival.

Even those in high positions lost part of their authority, all because their subordinates were also caught up in the frenzy of looting.

There was no way around it; this was inevitable. No one could resist the allure of such Supreme Treasure.

For instance, in America, a 17-18 year old beggar, living in a slum in a broken house, ascended to Tier-3 overnight because a rift appeared in his house.

This event truly stimulated the nerves of every Human Being. It was hard to imagine and even harder to believe.

Nevertheless, riots were inevitable, simply because no one knew where these rifts would appear.

It might appear in the sky, at the foot of a mountain, in the lighthouse of some city, or even inside a school.

The denser the population was, the fiercer and more tragic the battles were.

Of course, this describes the lower strata of society.

In the higher echelons, powerful individuals who had already reached the top each occupied a rift, choosing to cultivate for the last time.

*Boom, boom, boom…* All over the world, auras of breakthroughs erupted one after another.

In some places, the sky was blanketed by Tribulation Clouds.

…

Deep within the United States of America…

*Roooaar…* Accompanied by a deafening roar that seemed to come from ancient times, the guardian of America, Monster Zero, had massive Tribulation Clouds gathering over its head.

Right then, its pupils became focused as a deep crimson light, like that from the depths of Hell, erupted from its back, before the Behemoth roared at the sky, firing a terrifying red beam that tore through large swathes of Tribulation Clouds.

Compared to the dominance displayed by Monster Zero, the other places weren’t fairing that well.

*Crackle…* A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck down, reducing a Mutant Beast resembling an Elk into a pile of white bones.

…

Meanwhile, in another forest…

*Hou…* With a cry filled with increasing despair, a Giant Turtle gazed at the dark gray Tribulation Clouds in the sky, its eyes dimming.

It could not hold on any longer, it really could not.

Surely, breaking through to Tier-4 was not an easy task.
