Alm and Bruno felt their minds grow hazy; staying in this state for more than a few breaths was impossible. There was no time to think much about what to do now; the goal was clear, and they only saw one obvious path.

In an instant, the entire planet felt something wrong and incredible happening. All the Qi of that ascending world began to dissipate suddenly. It was as if a black hole had fed and devoured everything... within three seconds, they could hardly detect even a drop of Qi anywhere. The air became dry, all vegetation and nature lost its color, all forms of life witnessed the Qi of the planet reduced to a point where it would now be considered an almost mortal world.
The people from the city and the hero felt and saw clearly all the changes. Ninety percent of all the planetâs Qi... was absorbed by a single round figure, as if all the universeâs will converged on it.
A crack echoed within the whale; finally, they reached the ninth level of the Elemental Condensation Realm. The amount of Qi required was astronomical, and they definitely couldnât continue cultivating in the next realm outside the divine world.
In the next instant, the space around the whale began to distort. A divine presence concentrated on it, as if the celestial laws were enveloping its body. However, the whale opened its eyes gently as if nothing had happened. A message on the green screen was there in front of them.
[Congratulations, Supreme Yin and Yang Collector Cultivation Technique has been completely mastered.]
[Rewards received: +20 Celestial Points]
They read quickly, showing no emotions, and soon the next message appeared.
[Side Quest Available: 01]
[Be the hope and celestial faith of mortals.]
[Reward 01: +50 Upgrade Points]
[Reward 02: Access to the main mission]
The whale breathed lightly and nodded. They turned to the hero, and saw fear and despair in his eyes. Now that Wuji was deactivated, he could feel the queenâs will again; in less than thirty seconds, he would use this power again. But currently, he was alone, feeling like an insect in front of the fear that this round figure gave him, and just trembled unable to move on his own.
âThereâs no time to waste, not even to reflect.â
Alm and Bruno thought lightly. Unfortunately, with their current power, they wouldnât kill this hero at once. If they tried, the stimulus they would cause would activate his survival instinct, and the queenâs power would emerge even faster. The whale then snorted, all his faith rune pulsating to the limit.
The Yin and Yang tattoos lit up to the maximum. They had now reached the true maximum power of this technique. Being on an ascending planet with fragile and incomplete laws, they didnât need to enter the state of Wuji completely to use abnormal and divine power.
It was simple to manipulate the laws and the entire planet with a thought. At this moment, the whale was no longer a divine figure that existed only in the minds of the people Bruno and Ruri forged. He possessed a capacity that not even a divine cultivator in the highest realm would have. It wasnât a brute and destructive power, but harmonious; they knew, felt, and could be one with the laws there and use them at their will.
The planetâs skies changed completely in a second. The entire horizon became a bright and sacred celestial blue. At the same moment, all forms of life felt their minds and souls calm down; something connected with them and all the pain and fear faded away.
In the few minutes that unfolded with the heroâs maximum attack, all the cities crumbled, almost all natural life was decimated, practically all mortals were killed violently, and almost all powerful cultivators perished without any chance of survival; almost half of the life on the planet ended in brief minutes.
After Ruri sacrificed herself, all the cataclysms stopped. But the survivors clearly felt that it wasnât over. Everyone just trembled in complete despair; the peaceful life they had was taken by someone who treated them as if they didnât exist. All the conflicts, resentments, or disputes among these mortals turned into something ridiculous in the face of everything. They saw how foolish they had been, wasting their short lives on ego-driven disputes; now they were truly losing what they should be most grateful for and cherish: the life they had.
Currently, in the face of that celestial power in the skies, no matter the race, all the living beings on that small ascending planet looked up, feeling the only divine presence that wanted to embrace them. Their minds were filled with hope... and unwavering faith.
The whale just nodded gently, feeling all the power of their faith emptying out. Across the planet, celestial rain began to fall, and everyone felt a comforting presence protecting them. As the drops touched their skin, the wounded were healed; without a word, everyone knelt in worship. They knew that intervention was saving them. Everyone knew the divine whale, and immediately, their minds focused only on him.
The whale just snorted, radiating all his power; now he was a true deity. The hero felt the crushing weight of his presence. His instincts screamed in despair, there was no escape, there was no redemption for him. Every thought of the whale was charged with the strength of the universe, every gesture an expression of celestial will.
[Congratulations, Side Quest completed!]
[Congratulations! A new planet has been taken for yourself!]
[Number of planets under your domain: 04]
[Do you wish to accept all rewards?]
[Yes / No]
Alm and Bruno nodded affirmatively, accepting everything. At the same time, they felt the entire faith rune being filled again, and the amount of faith power seemed greater than before.
Their other three planets had only recently begun to cultivate faith in them, and without their presence and more active intervention, the faithful worshiped them subtly, and the power of faith coming from them was still low. But now, they could perceive the difference of an entire planet truly accepting them body and soul; there were different levels of faith coming from the people, and on this planet, they reached the maximum level.

It all happened in twenty seconds. Now, upon seeing the mission, the whale narrowed his eyes. He really hoped to be taken to another place as always... now there were only ten seconds left, and they needed to resolve this or they would never win.
