When Luo Li's slender figure appeared in the White Jade Square, the originally noisy crowd suddenly went silent. Everyone stared at the girl, as they were mesmerized by her beauty.
After the brutal battle in the Lower Earthly Sovereigns battlefield, everyone knew that the girl was not only beautiful, but also had immense strength and talent. She was so dazzling, many prodigies were ashamed of themselves in comparison.
Amid all of the attention, Luo Li was calm as her gaze gently swept over the crowd. A smile bloomed on her face upon seeing Mu Chen, who was standing next to Luo Tianshen.
The entire glimmering White Jade Square seemed to dim in comparison with her dazzling smile. Everyone glared at Mu Chen enviously. In fact, had it not been for Mu Chen's startling performance in the Upper Earthly Sovereigns battlefield previously, someone would might even have provoked Mu Chen out of sheer jealousy!
Mu Chen could only smile exasperatedly in the face of all of those gazes. He understood now that, in this world, there was a kind of woman who could reach the level of beauty that would make men go to war for her!
As Luo Li had matured into a gorgeous woman after successfully cultivating the Luo God Celestial Body, she was one such woman. Fortunately, this lady only had eyes for Mu Chen, so he would pay any price for her, including enduring these envious glances!
Cough.
Above the stone steps, there was a dry cough that disrupted Mu Chen and Luo Li's big moment. Everyone looked over to see the West Heaven War Emperor's expressionless face. Anyone could see that he was quite displeased.
Of course, no one would be happy after seeing two out of three titles of Children of the Continent being taken away from them! However, regarding Luo Li's title, the West Heaven War Emperor could do nothing about it.
This was because Luo Li went through a formal and legitimate process. As such, the Luo God Clan was indeed qualified to participate. Moreover, Luo Li was stronger than Ling Feizi.
Suppressing his displeasure, the War Emperor's nonchalant voice rang out, ”The titles of the Western Kingdom Continent's Children of the Continent have been awarded.”
”Complete Earthly Sovereign battlefield, Lin Dong Elder.”
”Upper Earthly Sovereign battlefield, Mu Chen.”
”Lower Earthly Sovereign battlefield, Luo Li.”
When the declaration reported the results, the three figures emerged in the White Jade Square. Suddenly, there was a deafening cheer that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth. Although there were only three final winners, the onlookers, who just watched numerous wonderful battles, were full of admiration for them.
In the White Jade Square, Lin Dong Elder looked like an old man. His face was weary and wizened. As such, it was only natural that Mu Chen and Luo Li attracted more attention.
The young man stood straight and handsome, his black eyes contained a gentle hint of a smile. However, once his eyes and eyebrows narrowed a little, he emitted a poignant dangerous aura and was clearly someone not to be underestimated.
The girl was dressed in a black robe, and her figure was slender. Her curves were seductive, and her red lips were curved in a gentle smile. She had an elegant posture and was as noble as a queen.
This pair of them were a match made in heaven. The Flame Emperor, from his perch above the steps, smiled and nodded as he thought, these two younger generations are indeed extremely outstanding.
”The three of you who have won, so you are entitled to be the Children of the Continent. Now, you must follow me and be baptized by The Strength of the Continent,” the West Heaven War Emperor announced.
Upon hearing this, not only did Luo Li's and Mu Chen's eyes light up, but even Lin Dong Elder, who was impassive as withered wood, showed a hint of desire in his eyes.
After all, even though Lin Dong Elder was extremely close to being a Heavenly Sovereign, to actually step into the Heavenly Sovereign stage was incredibly difficult.
In the Great Thousand World, a Completely Earthly Sovereign was absolutely the best position that one could attain, but only when he stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage could he be said to have reached the true pinnacle.
As long as one became a Heavenly Sovereign, this person would immediately be able to rule over a continent, having numerous powerful people under their command. They would then command great power, like the Western Kingdom Continent.
Had it not been for the West Heaven War Emperor's secret assistance, Lin Dong Elder knew that his risk of obtaining the title would have increased considerably. After all, there was only one single rank's difference between a Completely Earthly Sovereign and a Heavenly Sovereign, but that vast distance was akin to that which existed between celestial being and a man!
Thus, all Completely Earthly Sovereigns like Lin Dong Elder yearned to enter the Heavenly Sovereign stage. However, he also knew that, without a great opportunity arising, he may not be able to do so in his lifetime. Now, this baptism of the Strength of the Continent was this great opportunity!
Although not every Child of the Continent could break through to become a Heavenly Sovereign, the title could increase the success rate, which was enough temptation for Lin Dong Elder to give it a try. Therefore, when hearing the War Emperor's words, even Lin Dong Elder could not help but become immensely excited.
