[World Announcement]
Golden characters flashed in rows.
If nothing unexpected happened, this announcement would last until the next one appeared.
And it was precisely because of this announcement that Xiao Mo's title of "Strongest Lord" was thoroughly cemented.
It was no longer just the flattery of lords who admired the great Qianmo.
A single sentence, "truly stepped to the pinnacle of lordly powers," was enough to prove everything.
This was also indirectly an "official" certification, equivalent to truly acknowledging Xiao Mo's identity.
And the words, "I hope everyone will continue to strive for excellence, and the day of becoming a god is within reach," instantly ignited the heat in the public channel.
Billions of lords had descended upon this world, what was their goal?
Was it not to prove themselves and become gods, to achieve eternal life?
Even those who feared the beast tide and thus chose to become lone travelers had never given up on the goal of becoming a god.
In this world, gods who lived forever were no longer legends, no longer myths.
They were beings that truly existed in reality.
Everyone equally anticipated the moment of proving themselves, breaking through limitations, condensing divine sparks, establishing divine courts, and becoming true gods.
At this very moment.
Almost everyone who saw the announcement was filled with burning passion, imagining the moment of becoming a god.
[I will definitely be able to prove myself and become a god! Sooner or later, I will roam among the galaxies, cross spatial barriers, and return to Earth!]
[Your idea is too basic! I'm going to move Earth into my divine court! I'll see all of Earth's scenery in a day!]
[Hahaha! Then I'll move the sun! I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!]
[All your ideas are petty! I'll turn the entire universe into my backyard!]
[Brother upstairs! If bragging was taxed, you'd probably be bankrupt!]
[Uh... can I butt in? The most invincible is still the great Qianmo!]
[Shut up! Do you need to say something everyone in the universe already knows?]
[Alas! There have only been two announcements regarding lords. And both of them are about the great Qianmo! When can I get on an announcement, I'll do anything!]
[World Announcement: A certain lord, due to envy, jealousy, and hatred, ultimately suffered internal injuries, bleeding from all seven orifices, and passed away this evening at the age of twenty-two, without timely medical treatment...]
[One word, brilliant!]
[Jokes aside! But have you all noticed that all the top lords who participated in the beast tide invasion, and even those who competed for the top one hundred spots, were merely foils to the great Qianmo!]
[Exactly! Everyone was just a green leaf! Only the great Qianmo was the stunning red flower!]
[This immense glory belongs only to the great Qianmo alone!]
[I just wonder what the champion's reward for the great Qianmo will be!]
[A top lord I know, ranked fifty-fifth, received a set of King-grade Spirit-Tinged equipment! What do you think the first-ranked great Qianmo will get?]
[Holy cow! Fifty-fifth gets a set of King-grade Spirit-Tinged equipment, then the first place should at least get a God-grade equipment!]
[Is it possible that Qianmo will be directly rewarded with a divine spark, letting him ascend to heaven in one step!]
[The person upstairs is thinking too much! Do you think divine sparks are that cheap!]
[Exactly! Even for the top champion, the reward would definitely not be that terrifying! Otherwise, Qianmo would have unified the entire continent, and what would be left for us?]
[That makes sense! But still, the great Qianmo's reward will definitely be extremely, extremely generous!]
[I really want to befriend the great Qianmo! Too bad I don't have any troop expansion blueprints! The great Qianmo is too aloof!]
[If I were the great Qianmo, I'd only accept friend requests from pretty girls! Hehe...]
[Pah! Shameless pervert! Do you think the great Qianmo has the same low-level tastes as you!]
[Countless people want to add the great Qianmo as a friend, but so far, it seems only that 'little brother' has truly succeeded! And he seems to be on very good terms with the great Qianmo!]
[Isn't that so? Even our fairy Jin Xuan is always shut out!]
[The heights are cold! This is a man standing at the peak!]
[I really want to worship the great Qianmo up close!]
[Haha... As a lone traveler, I'm already on my way! As long as I find the Immortal-Demon troops in the Endless Abyss, I'm sure to find the great Qianmo!]
[Lone traveler on the road +1]
...
In the lively chat channel, all topics revolved around Xiao Mo.
Some speculated about the reward Xiao Mo would receive, while others were filled with envy and jealousy.
At this moment, Xiao Mo's fame had reached a level known to all (of course, limited to the lord and lone traveler circles).
With Xiao Mo's current fame and influence, if he himself appeared and claimed to form an alliance,
Then hundreds of millions of lords and lone travelers would respond instantly.
This could be seen from the fact that the number of lords who had applied to befriend Xiao Mo had reached nearly four hundred million.
This alliance would undoubtedly be the most powerful warship.
No matter what alliance, such as the Covenant of Gods Alliance, the Immortal Slaying Demon Eradicating Alliance, the Icefield Alliance, or the Sea God Alliance,
In the face of this powerful warship, they would merely be fragile remnants.
However, Xiao Mo currently had no intention of establishing any alliance.
At least not during this development phase, he didn't need to be involved with too many people or matters.
As for future matters, that was for the future, and would be dealt with then.
Following that, Xiao Mo turned his gaze to the supplementary interface next to the [World Announcement].
That was the reward notification for him, which had appeared alongside the [World Announcement].
However, of course, only Xiao Mo could see it.
[Congratulations on winning the beast tide kill point championship!]
[You have demonstrated your powerful strength and troops, as well as your fearless bravery, which has earned you the first place on the points leaderboard! This is your glory!]
[We hope you will continue to strive for excellence and build your own empire as soon as possible! Conquer the world!]
[Congratulations on obtaining one of the following rewards!]
[1. Your current territory level will increase by four levels!]
[2. A certain amount of territory upgrade materials!]
[3. One Spirit-Tinged equipment of random grade (minimum Saint-grade, maximum God-King grade)!]
[4. A specialized building for your initial troop type!]
[5. All your subordinate troops will be upgraded by one major tier, or you will receive six initial-tier evolution slots!]
[Unique Special Reward: God-grade item - Heart of the Empire (This reward is not among the above five choices)!]
...
Upon seeing this last unique special reward, Xiao Mo frowned.
God-grade item, Heart of the Empire?
Since it was God-grade, this item must be incredibly precious.
However, what was this so-called Heart of the Empire?
Then, a prompt sound in his mind made Xiao Mo realize...
