"Invincible Palace—this name really does have Lin Wudi’s style."

Someone spoke with a strange tone.

"What? You think Lin Wudi doesn’t deserve the word ’invincible’? If he hadn’t taken action, would you still be standing here talking? Can you stop being so sour? Embarrassing!"

Someone immediately shot back.

Right now, no one on Earth could compare to Lin Wudi’s prestige.

He literally saved everyone in the world!

Badmouthing Lin Wudi now is basically being a vicious, ungrateful bastard!

The first guy who spoke was dissed so badly he could barely lift his head!

This moment is completely different from just a few days ago!

Lin Wudi, with a single word, changed the world, wishing all people to be like dragons!

Now, everyone on Earth could embark on Cultivation.

Even though ninety‑nine percent of people only had a faint sense of Qi and hadn’t even reached Qi Cultivation Level One, being strong and fit was a given.

In just two days, the vitality drained by the Blood Sacrifice Array had already recovered!

If that guy who just mocked Lin Wudi dared to talk back again, he might very well get mobbed on the spot.

The people of Earth right now had combat power off the charts!

These two days, the whole world had been slowly adapting to the second Spiritual Energy Revival, to the changes brought by "all people like dragons, everyone can Cultivate."

The most direct change was in sports records.

With the first Spiritual Energy Revival, only those who had Cultivation methods, or Martial Artists and espers, got the benefits!

Ordinary people around the world actually didn’t change that much.

So sports records didn’t really move either.

Take the 100‑meter record; it was still the 9.58 world record set in 2009 by Bolt.

But with the second Spiritual Energy Revival, "all people like dragons" was a different story.

On just the second day.

A young guy posted a video on YouTube, claiming he had broken Bolt’s world record!

He really did break it, and by a whole 0.02 seconds, down to 9.56!

The result was, before he could enjoy his moment for even a few minutes, someone else posted a video, also breaking the 100‑meter world record, shaving off another 0.03 seconds!

Right after that, the 100‑meter world record turned into a little widow anyone could mess with, teased by people all over the world.

Record‑breaking videos popped up one after another. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At first, ordinary people breaking sprint world records was big news; later, everyone started getting numb to it.

Until a professional sprinter stepped up and ran a 9.12, an unsurpassable new record, and only then did this global record‑breaking craze finally ease off.

But it didn’t stay quiet for long.

Just half a day later, the former 100‑meter world record holder, the retired Bolt who’d been out of the spotlight for many years, announced his comeback.

And that very day, he ran a freakish 8.54, pushing the 100‑meter record for ordinary humans under 9 seconds for the first time!

Turns out, some non‑humans really are non‑human.

Even with Spiritual Energy Revival and all people like dragons, non‑humans are still non‑human!

If anything, they’re just going to get stronger.

Bolt’s record stayed up there for an entire day, and no one could break it.

Maybe as the Qi Cultivation level of people all over the world keeps rising, this record will be refreshed again and again.

But by then, it’ll already be a Cultivator’s record.

8.54 might very well become the last world record for ordinary humans!

From here on, the human race would enter an age of global Cultivation, all people like dragons; "mortal" and "ordinary person" would become things of the past!

The 8.54 100‑meter world record would be more of a memorial.

A memorial to that world where ordinary humans still existed, to the ultimate speed a mortal could reach!

In fact, it wasn’t just the 100‑meter record—every sports record in the world was being broken!

Long jump, shot put, swimming, and all sorts of other sports were seeing new world records set every single moment.

It was like a global carnival for the human race.

A way for all humanity to let loose and relieve stress after surviving a world‑ending calamity!

Now, the first thing ordinary people said when they met was: Hey, which world record do you want to break?

Of course, not every sport was enjoying a springtime of a hundred flowers blooming.

Some sports were hit by a harsh winter.

Like boxing, MMA, and other intense combat sports!

Before all people became like dragons, simple protective gear was enough to keep fighters from getting seriously hurt easily.

But after everyone started Cultivation, individual physical power skyrocketed.

Those old safety measures were completely useless now!

These days, one punch might literally kill someone!

No one dared to keep joining these sports that were basically bare‑knuckle brawls anymore.

Not to mention, now that this was an age where all people were like dragons and a ninety‑year‑old granny could climb thirty floors without losing her breath, sports like boxing looked like a joke.

Aside from the global record‑breaking carnival, what people talked about most was Lin Wudi.

And his newly founded Sect named Invincible Palace!

Ordinary people around the world were mostly just watching the show.

Because they knew very well that even though everyone was now like a dragon and everyone could Cultivate, with Lin Wudi being Earth’s Number One, the savior of the world, there was no way he’d take just anyone as a Disciple.

Those who caught Lin Wudi’s eye would definitely be geniuses with outstanding talent!

So most people never expected they’d be able to enter Lin Wudi’s Sect.

They rushed to the area near the Qin Family Ancestral House just to see who’d be so lucky as to soar into the heavens, catch Lin Wudi’s attention, and be reborn as a Proud Son of Heaven.

Nothing more.

Even so, within three days, the Qin Family Ancestral House—no, the area around Invincible Palace—had drawn tens of millions of people within a radius of several thousand kilometers!

One city packed with tens of millions of people—just imagine how many had come for his reputation.

And this was only the beginning!

As time went on, the number of people would only keep growing!

In the end, having over a hundred million people gathered from the surrounding counties and cities wouldn’t be impossible!

After all, no one wanted to miss the chance to join Invincible Palace and become a Disciple under Lin Wudi.

At dawn on the second day, Lin Wudi’s Disciple in Name Leng Feng and Disciple in Name Langya appeared outside the Qin Family Ancestral House with a scroll in hand.

"By order of Master, anyone who wishes to join Invincible Palace must first pass three trials!"

"The first trial: talent screening!"

"Those who pass may enter the hundred‑li radius of Invincible Palace. Those who fail, please return to where you came from and make room for those who come after!"

Before his voice had even faded.

Before anyone understood what was happening, they saw Langya unfurl the scroll in his hand.

Boom!

The scroll radiated Godlight and floated in midair.

A vast power surged out from within the scroll.

Everyone within a hundred‑li radius of the Qin Family Ancestral House was gently carried and moved a hundred li away by a soft force!

No—not everyone!

Within that hundred‑li radius, where there had just been no fewer than a million people, only a few hundred were left now, standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Anyone who can remain within this hundred‑li radius is qualified. You may wait here for the second round of testing!"

Leng Feng said stiffly and seriously.

The atmosphere on the scene instantly exploded!

Even with only a few hundred people, the ecstatic cheers rose and fell, shaking heaven and earth!

Many had only come to watch the excitement; they’d never thought they’d actually be selected!

Among these few hundred people, most were young.

But there were also elderly folks in their sixties and seventies with graying hair, as well as toddlers of three or four, still tottering as they walked.

Immediately, several hundred Foundation Building Immortals from Ancient Land Sect soared out on their swords to connect with these few hundred people and register their identities.

A hundred li outside the Qin Family Old Residence, a massive barrier appeared before everyone!

To see Lin Wudi, you first had to pass this barrier!
