SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

In the next few days, the anticipation across Nexara reached its peak. The competition had ended, the Zerg threat had been temporarily neutralized, and now, all eyes were on the long-awaited World Upgrade.

Across the continents, preparations were finalized as families, sects, and empires gathered at the World Altars built in their respective territories.

Every living being, whether cultivator or mortal, was aware that history was about to be made.

At the Xu family's Grand Altar, situated atop the highest peak of the Central Continent, Xu Qianghua stood at the forefront, surrounded by his wives, elders, and the core members of the Xu family.

The altar was a massive construct, covered in intricate ancient runes that pulsed faintly with a power beyond mortal comprehension.

It had taken months of preparation to reach this moment, and now, everything was ready.

The surrounding landscape was filled with tens of thousands of spectators, stretching far beyond the mountain itself.

Skyships slowly parked as people inside walked out and waited, while powerful cultivators floated in the air, keeping their eyes on the crowd for any emergencies.

At the same time, they were also eager to witness what was about to unfold.

Similar scenes played out across the other continents, where each World Altar stood as a beacon for the imminent transformation.

Xu Qianghua raised his hand, and silence fell over the crowd. Floating above him, the World Heart radiated an ethereal glow, a swirling sphere of creation energy pulsating in sync with the very essence of the planet.

At that moment, every World Heart across the different altars mirrored the same response.

The energy resonating from them was overwhelming, causing the very air to tremble under its might.

Without hesitation, Xu Qianghua used a special device that transmitted his voice; then he spoke the words that would reshape Nexara to a new, more powerful world.

"Begin the World Upgrade."

The instant his voice rang out, beams of golden light erupted from each altar, piercing into the heavens like celestial spears.

The World Hearts trembled before shattering into countless fragments, each dissolving into waves of pure creation energy that spread like ripples through the world.

The sky darkened momentarily as the very fabric of reality seemed to shift, responding to the massive influx of power.

The land quaked, the oceans roared, and the skies thundered as the world absorbed the raw energy of its transformation.

Then, as if time itself had paused, the entire world fell into a profound silence. Every living being felt it—the presence of something far greater than themselves.

High above, an enormous cosmic eye materialized in the sky, vast and all-seeing, formed of swirling energy and infinite knowledge.

It was so colossal that it could be seen from every corner of Nexara. The sheer pressure it exuded sent waves of awe and fear through every soul, mortal and cultivator alike. The Will of the World had fully awakened.

Gasps of shock and reverence echoed throughout the crowd. Even the most powerful cultivators found themselves frozen in place, unable to resist the overwhelming might of the World's Will. "The World's Will… it's watching us," someone whispered in disbelief.

For a single moment, Xu Qianghua felt an inexplicable connection with the enormous eye above, as if the world itself acknowledged his role in this transformation.

Then, a thunderous voice—without sound yet imprinted in every mind—resonated across the entire world.

"THE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET; THE WORLD IS ABLE TO UPGRADE."

The golden beams of energy reversed their course, descending from the sky and sinking into the land, oceans, and sky itself.

The transformation was instantaneous. The earth beneath them expanded, mountain ranges rose higher, rivers stretched wider, and vast forests flourished with newfound vitality.

The spiritual energy in the atmosphere thickened, surging into cultivators like a boundless tide, rejuvenating their Qi and refining their bodies.

Across Nexara, the leaders of the various factions stood in stunned silence as they watched their world change before their eyes.

Islands appeared in the middle of vast oceans, new veins of spiritual minerals surfaced from the depths of the ground, and sacred lands that had long been dormant began to awaken.

The colossal eye above lingered for a few more moments before slowly fading, yet its presence left an imprint on the very essence of the world.

The sky returned to its natural hues, the golden radiance dissipating as the final stages of the upgrade took effect.

The silence that followed was soon broken by a deafening cheer that erupted from every corner of Nexara.

Xu Qianghua lowered his hand, exhaling softly as he observed the world's transformation. His wives stood beside him, each watching in quiet amazement. Bai Lingyun was the first to speak, a knowing smile on her lips. "The first step is complete."

Yan Yuehua, her sharp gaze scanning the distance, nodded. "Now, we wait and see how the world adapts to its evolution."

In the gathered crowd, powerful cultivators and clan leaders exchanged glances. They all understood the weight of what had just transpired.

The world had changed, and with it, the balance of power, the structure of cultivation, and the very essence of life itself.

Some felt excitement, others apprehension, but none could deny the undeniable truth—this was a new era.

As the dust settled and the reality of the World Upgrade sank in, the people of Nexara celebrated.

But before they could be happy for long, they heard the World Will's voice again.

"AS PER PROTOCOL, THE FIRST UPGRADE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN INITIATED."

"RELEASING THE SET CHALLENGERS, WINNERS WILL RULE THE WORLD AND THE LOSERS WILL EITHER DIE OR BECOME THE WINNER'S SLAVES."

"I SHALL BE WATCHING."

With that, the World Will's presence vanished, leaving a tense atmosphere.

The Xu family and the other forces were caught off-guard by this sudden challenge.

But then Xu Qianghua remembered something he had tried to forget in his last life.

And this was the time when the world faced its first ever crisis with the possibility of being conquered by an outside force.
