The post quickly went viral, drawing countless replies.

At first, many people argued and hurled insults at each. But as the posters analysis became more detailed and convincing, more and more people began to agree.

"That one sentence really woke me up. When I first awakened, I was instantly killed by a zero order Instance Boss. Now U am already a Tier 2 Awakener. Why did I improved so much? Was it because I worked hard this month? No. It was because I received several universal rewards."

"I am a First Order Awakener with a D Grade Talent. Without the universal rewards, even if you gave me two more months, I still would not have been able to clear Zero Order Trial Instance. If I encountered a demonized creature, I could only wait to die."

"The best way to survive the Disaster is to improve your strength as much as possible, not to hope it arrives later. The stronger you are, the higher your chance of survival. Only then will you have a chance to earn rewards after surviving it."

"Cultivating techniques are too slow. My body strengthening Art is still only at the minor completion state, and the attribute boost is negligible. Even if I had a perfect strategy, I still could not make full use of it."

"I heard the government is planting a crop that increases attributes when eaten, but that is not something we can rely one in the short term. As for making it widely available, who know how long that will take."

"My daughter said her Talent was originally showing as a vague B-Grade, but when she turned sixteen the day before yesterday, she awakened an S-Grade Talent."

As more and more people shared their experience, the majority came to understand the true value of Universal rewards.

Especially those with children, they hoped such rewards would appear more often, increasing the chances for the next generation to awaken high level talents.

Of course, much of this shift in opinion was quietly guided by Starfall Country behind the scenes.

Although Roland and the others did not know what Noah was thinking, they were well aware that the universal rewards had come from his outstanding performance.

They clearly understood just how valuable those rewards were. Combined with Noah’s unique and untouchable status, there was no way they would allow anyone to slander him.

Besides, they were not spreading rumors. They were simply stating facts and reasoning things out.

Noah himself did not care about the direction of public opinion online. However, the fact that the Disaster countdown had not changed still left him slightly disappointed.

"I need to find a way to make the Disaster arrive earlier."

He thought to himself.

At present, he knew of two ways to accelerate its arrival. One was the descent of the Transcendent Aura, which would significantly shorten the countdown. The other was the ranking reward from the Civilization Pillar.

The first method was certain.

As for the second, Noah was not completely sure yet.

Although the countdown to the Aberrant Disaster had appeared after the ranking reward from the Civilization Pillar was issued last time, it was still unclear whether that was actually caused by the reward or just a coincidence.

"Other than the universal awakening, the only way to trigger the descent of the Transcendent Aura again is to clear a new difficulty of an Instance within the time limit."

Unfortunately, there was no new difficulty available for the Fourth Order.

Noah had no choice in the matter.

He decided that after entering the Civilization Convergence Zone, he would look for answers. Perhaps there was a way to unlock new difficulties earlier, or some other method to trigger the descent of the Transcendent Aura. At the very least, he hoped to find a way to make the Disaster arrive sooner.

The last time he visited the Civilization Convergence Zone, Noah had only purchased a limited amount of information. It was far from enough to understand everything.

Seven days had already passed, which meant he could now enter the Civilization Convergence Zone again at any time.

At first, he considered clearing a Fourth Order Instance before going. For him, whether it was a Trial Instance or an Advancement Instance, there was no real challenge.

However, Advancement Instances were taking longer and longer to complete. The Demon infested World alone had taken six days. A Fourth Order Advancement Instance would likely require even more time.

That would waste one opportunity to enter the Civilization Convergence Zone.

There was no rush to ascend to a Five Order expert. He could do that after he returned.

Rose and the others also needed time to rest. After all, dying in an Advancement Instance meant failure, so the pressure on them had been immense.

Before heading to the Civilization Convergence Zone, Noah decided to deploy the Small Spirit Veins.

From the ten designated reward selections, he had obtained four Small Spirit Veins in total. However, one of them had overlapped with a Sublimation Stone, so he chose the latter instead. That left him with three Small Spirit Veins.

Noah had no intention of placing them near New Sea City. That would be a complete waste.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth would naturally spread outward, but the farther it traveled, the thinner it became. A single Small Spirit Vein in New Sea City could only sustain spiritual energy across an area of about 50,000 to 60,000 square kilometers.

The closer one was to the vein, the denser the spiritual energy. Beyond that range, it was almost nonexistent.

Even so, something was still better than nothing.

New Sea City was located in the eastern region of Starfall Country, so Noah planned to place the three new Small Spirit Veins in the west, south, and north.

He had already decided which cities to choose. Only the exact locations remained undecided.

That, however, was not an issue. Before entering the Demon Infested World, Noah had already contacted Roland and asked him to prepare suitable deployment sites.
