The true might of the Nefalem lies not in one or two skills, but in its higher-dimensional strength. It is not just tactical prowess but strategic dominance, offering boundless potential with achievements that no one could foresee.

Even now, the potential of the Nefalem remains untapped. After Huang Yi’s divine enthronement, he continues to gain from the enhancements brought by the Nefalem. Other Rare Races typically exhaust all potential by reaching the Divine Domain level.

Huang Yi immediately returned to the Central Continent, to the sanctuary of the Elite Dragon Race.

This sanctuary is meant for housing the Heart of the Elite Dragon Race, guarded year-round by several False God Guardians. Only a few individuals like Huang Yi, Qin Shiyu, and the Heavenly Dao can enter; all other players are barred.

Currently, however, not a single player occupies the sacred ground; it stands empty, quite contrary to its prestigious reputation. The proficient False God Guardians are absent, their whereabouts unknown.

"Meow~" Suddenly, a black cat jumped down from the eaves and approached Huang Yi, rubbing its little head against his leg.

This very black cat belongs to Takasma, once a member under the Forest Goddess. While other guardians have left, it has remained.

"Stay here and ensure no one enters," Huang Yi advised, squatting to pet the cat’s head.

"Meow~" The black cat obediently lay at the entrance, resting its head on its paws, eyes narrowing as if sleepy, but anyone attempting to enter would have to face it first.

Huang Yi then proceeded into the sanctuary, passing through layer upon layer of checkpoints, heading towards the end.

The air currents he stirred on his passage caused the torches lining the sanctuary’s hall to flicker restlessly, casting a mysterious aura.

At last, he arrived before a wall in the core area of the sanctuary and placed his hand against one of the bricks on it.

"Boom~" A dazzling magic circle illuminated the wall as it slowly opened to reveal a hidden chamber inside.

A square stone platform within the chamber held a heart, which throbbed continuously, echoing with a "thump thump."

This was the Heart of the Race for the Elite Dragon Race, concerning all players within the Elite Dragon Race.

Having fused all bloodlines within him and retaining the pure lineage of each race, Huang Yi’s blood fulfilled the requirement of the Elite Dragon Race to "absorb only dragonkin’s blood." It also possessed Nashash’s formidable poison resistance, allowing it to be absorbed by the Heart of the Elite Dragon Race, conferring substantial poison resistance upon them.

Thus, if players are resurrected in the future, they needn’t fear a resurgence of the Soul Plague.

Huang Yi moved forward, lifted the heart, bit his fingertip, and let a drop of blood fall onto the Heart of the Race.

Instantly, the heart absorbed the drop of blood, glowing with radiant light. Its temperature rose higher and higher, seeming ready to explode.

Huang Yi’s palm grew increasingly hot, his fingers splaying further apart as the Heart of the Race expanded, making it more difficult to control.

He watched the heart intently, scrutinizing any minute changes.

Finally, the Heart of the Race settled down, its divine light shimmering and radiant, as if transformed from a mere heart into a masterpiece.

"[System Prompt]: The Heart of the Elite Dragon Race has absorbed your blood. As your blood contains miraculous power, the Heart has been completely reformed, gaining multiple new abilities and ascending to a High-level Race. All players within the Elite Dragon Race will receive new capabilities."

High-level Race!

Huang Yi hadn’t anticipated that after fusing all racial bloodlines, his blood would become so potent that it would transform the Heart of the Race, elevating it to a High-level Race!

Previously, the Elite Dragon Race was just a Common Race, only gaining its global player base due to Huang Yi’s fame and the honor of being the first Heaven-Sent Race.

But from this day forth, with the Elite Dragon Race ascending to a High-level Race, it gained substantial appeal.

If this crisis can be resolved and players resurrect, ordinary players would find it hard to resist becoming part of a High-level Race, likely leading them all to join the Elite Dragon Race.

Previously, players had to purchase advanced virtual equipment or collect Stone Exchanges at the Tower of Pantheons to exchange for scrolls to become a High-level Race, but now they could directly join the Elite Dragon Race with drastically lowered barriers. Who could resist such temptation?

It is foreseeable that the Elite Dragon Race will undergo an unprecedented expansion, with its numbers potentially comprising over 90% of the global players.

With anticipation, Huang Yi examined the new capabilities of the Elite Dragon Race.

These new abilities are those that Huang Yi had previously possessed within his bloodlines. For example, the Holy Attribute Ability of the Ancient Giants, the ability of the Clan of Light to absorb celestial light, the Moon Clan’s ability to enhance power on the Moon, etc.

Nashash’s poison resistance is also included, and since Huang Yi previously absorbed [Taloyag’s Poison Heart], the poison resistance of the Elite Dragon Race is extraordinary, reaching the Divine Level.

Now, Huang Yi has truly solved the issue of the Soul Plague. As long as global players join the Elite Dragon Race, the poison skills painstakingly learned by the Spirit Demon from Xuanhuang World will become ineffective, preventing a repeat of the previous poison massacre of global players.

Everything is ready now, only the return of players to The Second World is awaited.

...

Outside The Second World, the King of Hell stood with crossed arms, his empty hood facing The Second World.

From beneath his black robe, endless black Demonic Qi flowed out, extending towards The Second World like a curtain, veiling its sky.

Alongside him stood the Dark King, King of the Fallen, King of Curses, King of Annihilation, and King of Greed, each positioned differently yet engaging in the same ritual.

The avatars of these Six Great Demon Kings were jointly with Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha refining The Second World.

Meanwhile, the remaining Moon Clan’s False Gods had headed to assist the Demon Clan in maintaining the Microcosm’s stability.

"We need to accelerate the refinement!" echoed a voice from within the hood of the King of Hell.

This was an atypical move, as the King of Hell usually worked neither hastily nor leisurely, yet this time seemed pressed for time.

From the moment he learned of the Death God’s demise, he had been racing against time, sensing an imminent transformation across the Three Realms. He must swiftly refine The Second World to find the legendary Divine King’s Crystal.

The Divine King’s Crystal, also known as Crystallization of the Divine King, is a manifestation of the Divine King’s power, reputed as the universe’s supreme Divine Object. Obtaining it could mark the birth of the next Divine King.
