The entire square was paved with greenish-black stone slabs. Maria exerted a little force on them and discovered that they were extremely tough. They did not budge at all when she stepped on them, and there was even a faint rebounding force.
Looking at the strange greenish-black stone slabs under her feet, Maria frowned and thought to herself, 'What tough stone slabs. It seems that this square was specially modified to accommodate these experts.'
She lifted her head and saw that the public square before her was filled with densely packed crowds. Second transition Knights, who were usually hard to come by and could dominate a region, kept popping up like chives.
Even Demigods, who could dominate an area, could be seen everywhere. They were like cabbages that could be found by the roadside.
Those who had yet to reach the second transition would not even be able to enter this square, yet they could only stand outside. Maria swept her gaze across and saw that many of the buildings at the borders of the square had been occupied by countless Knights. A dense crowd was squeezed on top of them, and all of them were watching the situation in the square.
However, despite there being so many experts, no one was causing trouble.
These experts gathered in groups. They were usually a group of experts from the same faction in the same region. There were also some experts who had conflicts or grudges against each other, quarreling and cursing each other. However, no one came to a fight.
Even the cultivators, who would usually clash with each other or glare at each other, were all well-behaved. They were squeezed into the square like sardines in a can.
All of this was because of the reputation of the strongest expert in the south of the world — Sword Overlord Fang Xingjian.
Maria could clearly see that there were many small platforms erected in the square. Many men and women dressed in gold-lined long robes sat on the platforms, occasionally throwing sharp gazes toward the noisiest areas in the square.
Wherever their gazes swept past, there would be silence. It could be said to be as quiet as cicadas in winter.
As if sensing Maria's curious gaze, a man with platinum-colored hair next to Maria said in a low voice, "Those are the people from the East Military Execution Order. Each of these people is extremely vicious and merciless, and they also have Tyrande and the Sword Overlord backing them up. Ordinary Demigods will have to run when they see them, and even Divine level experts will have to show them some respect."
Hearing this, Maria jumped in fright. She had not expected this to be the infamous East Military Administration that had wiped out countless factions and clans.
She looked at the platinum-haired man beside her and said, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm Chris from North Bible Hall." The man smiled, revealing a face that could enchant thousands of girls. He looked at Maria and said, "Miss, you look like you have a profound cultivation and are full of spirit. You must be from a great sect, right?"
Maria thought for a moment and said, "I'm from the Myriad Star Mountain."
"So, you're under the Astral Ancestor." The Bible Hall's Chris revealed a hint of understanding. He then nodded and left.
Maria knew that the Bible Hall was a faction that was under the influence of the Holy See of Truth in the north. Therefore, they were not on good terms with the Empire's factions.
She then followed the crowd and headed toward the center of the square. Although most of the experts in the square — including some Demigods and Divine level experts — could only stand among the crowd, there was still a circle of stone platforms that were several meters tall floating in the sky above the center of the square. These several tens of stone platforms floating in the sky were prepared for some major influences.
Among the five Divine level experts under Fang Xingjian, the Astral Ancestor's Myriad Stars Palace was considered one of them. As a disciple of the Myriad Stars Palace, Maria could also try to go up the platform.
As she leaped onto the platform lightly, two young men and women immediately came up to her. One of them asked, "Junior Martial Sister? Where on earth have you been during this period of time? Why didn't you contact us? "
Maria said a little awkwardly, "I went to explore some relics with someone else, but we ended up getting lost inside. However, we also had a fortuitous encounter."
As she said that, she released the power of the ether particles in her body slightly.
"Oh? To think that you've already completed the second transition? "
"This is a blessing in disguise for you. However, your father is really worried to death."
Just as the few disciples were chattering non-stop, the sky suddenly seemed to darken. Then streams of starlight flashed incessantly in the dark sky.
The starry sky could not be seen in the entire Miracle World. However, right now, there was someone circulating a mysterious technique, bringing down the night sky and causing the stars to circulate. Fireworks from the universe's primordial world appeared amidst the layers of night sky.
Seeing this sudden descent of the starry sky, the Myriad Stars Palace's disciples and the unaffiliated people below the platform all gasped in surprise.
"The Grandmaster has arrived!"
"The Myriad Stars Palace's Astral Ancestor has arrived."
"Is this what the starry sky looks like? This is the first time I've seen it. "
As countless people gasped in surprise, an extremely majestic beam of starlight descended from the sky, smashing onto the platform like a light pillar. A majestic power kept on pressing down, and it was as if the entire sky was pressing down explosively. The tremors caused countless people to almost drop to their knees.
As the Astral Ancestor descended, three streams of slightly weaker starlight also descended from behind the light pillar. They were the Astral Ancestor's three disciples — the Lonestar Knight, the Stardust Fairy, and the Starbeast Hunter. The three of them had clearly attained a breakthrough to tier one of the Divine level.
Seeing the Astral Ancestor's arrival, the Myriad Stars Palace's disciples instantly went up to him, dropped to their knees, and shouted, "Welcome, Grandmaster."
The Astral Ancestor nodded and did not say a word. He sat at the very front of the platform, and his three disciples followed closely behind. Maria also stood at the very back, looking at the venue excitedly.
The Astral Ancestor's arrival was like a signal. With his arrival, batches of Divine level experts entered the venue one after another. Even the empty stone platforms that had been left for the various major influences started to have experts appearing in succession.
Therefore, the square became increasingly crowded, and more and more experts appeared on the stone platforms floating in the sky.
"Those are the people from the Northern Barbarian's Fire Worship Sect!"
"The countries from overseas have also arrived."
"The Holy Scripture Hall's Hall Master has arrived. They're a faction that was founded several thousand years ago after a Pope abdicated."
Just then, a series of flashes flashed past, and several tens of black-robed people suddenly appeared on a stone platform in the distance. They were all wrapped up in black long robes, with only the picture of a tulip appearing on their backs.
Their appearance seemed to have caused countless people to be astonished. Many elderly people pointed at those black-robed people in disbelief and shouted, "People from the Tulip Dynasty?!"
"To think that there are still descendants of this dynasty?"
"Even they have been lured out this time around?"
Hearing this, Maria's heart skipped a beat. The Tulip Dynasty was a super dynasty that had almost unified the world 1,000 years ago. They were a mysterious dynasty that had existed in the same era as Saint Adam. To think that they still had descendants?
Just as countless people were astonished by the Tulip Dynasty's descendants, at the next moment, splashing sounds of water filled up the world. A young man let out a loud shout and pointed toward the sky in the west, saying in disbelief, "The sea … The tsunami is coming!"
At the end of the western sky, splashing sounds rang out incessantly. Waves that were several hundred meters tall were surging in the sky in defiance of common sense, pressing down toward the Imperial Capital with an aura that could engulf the world.
