Upon returning, Zhao Guang directly announced his breakthrough and prepared to hold a banquet.

At the same time, this news began to spread to surrounding countries.

There's no way around it, the commotion from the breakthrough was too big to conceal. Besides, even if I could hide it, the upcoming construction in the Royal Capital couldn't be kept a secret.

The level of Holy Land, people can probably see it.

Even if regular forces can't, the Temple and some ancient, powerful Mages can discern it.

Luckily, Zhao Guang didn't intend to hide it, after all, a breakthrough is a good thing. Once the news spreads, some potential troubles and dangers will disappear immediately, which is the most crucial.

Time stands on my side, as long as I have time, I'll grow stronger.

With the news spreading, major forces around were left jaw-dropped.

It's a Demigod! A being they dare not even dream of. On our continent, there hasn't been a true Demigod for many years. While there are legends, some people achieved breakthroughs after leaving for the Borick Continent.

But these are only legends, with very few people knowing about these tales.

For many ordinary people, even the level of a Legend is unheard of.

Now suddenly hearing someone became a Demigod, people started to investigate what was going on.

Even the nobles everywhere began to inquire about it. But initially, none received any information, as all the Great Nobles went to the Imperial Palace for a meeting.

These people had no choice but to use phones and tablets to communicate.

The situation resembled forums on Earth, with the large scale sale of magic terminals, this place increasingly resembled Earth, a change that could be said to be very significant.

Soon, various keyboard warriors and meme creators might emerge here as well.

Human Kingdoms held meetings, large organizations gathered, and the Beastmen and Flying Beast Alliance did the same.

Currently, the Flying Beast Alliance is the most concerned, as they once attacked the Xuanwu Kingdom and were captured many times.

Though they have renegotiated with the Xuanwu Kingdom to make amends, internally their opinions are still divided, with some still clamoring for revenge.

No one dares to take action now, as the opponent has produced two Demigods.

Even the Flying Beast Alliance has rarely connected with Demigods from Borick Continent, it's not easy to bring one back.

Knowing the opponent has two Demigods, a single one might not return.

After a breakthrough, they become a different kind of being, entirely different from their original races.

People from the Flying Beast Alliance have independent personalities, so although some are willing to sacrifice everything for the Alliance, they are absolutely not the majority.

Even Zhao Guang himself felt the wonder of the upcoming changes. Although he had considered it, he didn't expect it to turn out like this. Looking at the data in hand, Zhao Guang was speechless.

People within the Xuanwu Kingdom nowadays are holding their heads high, entirely different in spirit and bearing.

Before, they took pride, but didn't reach arrogance.

Now look at them, when facing people from other countries, their arrogance seems almost overwhelming.

To outsiders, they might seem like big shots. Even bottom-level citizens of the Xuanwu Kingdom, when meeting small nobles from other countries, still manage to keep their heads high.

Those small nobles strangely embrace this, each displaying a very approachable demeanor.

These folks can't seem to show their usual selves. Had Zhao Guang not risen from the lower tier step by step, he might actually believe these nobles have always been this amiable.

This sense of pride, even arrogance, is reflected in every aspect of the nation.

Originally, some domestic adventurers and other staff were quite eager to work in other countries.

But recently, these individuals began expressing resistance.

Survey results showed these people began looking down on other places as countryside. And the reasons, aside from my breakthrough, include others encouraging such behavior.

It seems with my breakthrough, everyone's status within the kingdom has improved.

Even the same work now demands more patience, and people from the Xuanwu Kingdom have grown more popular. Frankly, this is quite an irrational phenomenon, leaving Zhao Guang puzzled about their thinking.

Isn't it supposed that all behavior values benefits more, yet these actions suggest otherwise?

"Maybe there are other thoughts, or they are simply influenced by me."

Zhao Guang silently thought, though people's influence is normal, they presumably will recover after this trend fades.

With citizens becoming so arrogant, Zhao Guang is both proud and somewhat helpless. If they consistently stay like this, the kingdom's reputation could be affected.

"In the future, let Qiao Miya do some publicity to make them calm down."

There's no other way he can deal with it, but controlling public opinion.

However, seeing the next report, Zhao Guang felt a headache coming.

"Announcing the establishment of an Empire, who came up with this, no less with such high demand?" Zhao Guang didn't expect someone would want to transform the Kingdom into an Empire, and this is not something that can be changed on a whim.

In reality, the titles of duchy, kingdom, and empire are simply ways to name a country, with no significant difference.

The distinction lies in scale, national strength, agreements formed over long periods.

Although the Xuanwu Kingdom's strength is sufficient nowadays, having two Demigods, beyond comparison.

But the national strength entirely differs, the area is insufficient, resources are lacking, even population is inadequate. If directly named an Empire, other forces' attitudes toward our nation will surely change.

Though the change might boost pride, it's not beneficial for national development.

Without hesitation, Zhao Guang outright rejected the suggestion: "It seems this matter warrants careful attention to people's mental issues." Letting these folks continue to stir things up is definitely not a good thing.

If he wasn't sure there were no issues, he'd suspect someone secretly inciting them, it's somewhat over-the-top.
