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.

Outside of the White Jade Square, countless Sovereigns stared at the three of them enviously. After all, such an opportunity was incredibly rare.

"Would the Flame Emperor like to watch the Baptism of the Continent of my Western Kingdom Continent?" The War Emperor smiled and asked.

The Flame Emperor shook his head and smiled. "The locations of the Baptism of the Continent are the top secrets of every continent. Thus, it's not wise for me to participate."

Such a place was the place where the power of the whole continent converged. As such, it was basically the foundation of the continent, so it was very secretive and was generally not accessible to outsiders.

"Thank you for your invitation. If there is ever a chance, you are welcome to come visit my Endless Fire Territory." The Flame Emperor smiled.

"I've long heard of the Endless Fire Territory's illustrious reputation, and if I have the chance, I'll definitely come." The War Emperor nodded.

Although they were both supreme powers, he knew very well that the Endless Fire Territory's power was far superior to his Western Kingdom War Temple's. The Flame Emperor smiled as he appeared before Mu Chen and Luo Li.

He then grinned and praised Mu Chen. "Young friend Mu Chen, you have done pretty well for yourself."

Mu Chen clasped his fists respectfully, while Luo Li curtsied, both of them expressing their respect for the Flame Emperor.

"Had it not been for the Flame Emperor's recommendation, I would not even have been qualified to participate. I will remember your kind favor," Mu Chen said sincerely, as he was very clear that, if it had not been for the Flame Emperor, the West Heaven War Emperor would not have allowed him to participate at all.

The Flame Emperor waved his hand and laughed. "Don't underestimate the young ones, right? This was my own personal experience, so how could I make a similar mistake with you? Mu Chen, one day, you will also reach the same level as me."

Upon hearing the Flame Emperor's compliment, Mu Chen was a little embarrassed, although he was indeed in pursuit of this goal.

"Now that today's events are over, it's time for me to return to the Endless Fire Territory. If you are interested, come and visit. I'm sure that Xiao Xiao would want to see you." The Flame Emperor laughed. It was clear that this invitation was more sincere than his invitation towards the West Heaven War Emperor had been.

Mu Chen nodded. The Flame Emperor then waved to them as his body gradually grew illusory, then finally dissipated into thin air.

"Follow me." The West Heaven War Emperor looked at the Flame Emperor's vanishing figure, then turned and spoke to the three figures.

With a wave of his sleeve, they were shrouded in spiritual light. In the next moment, the four of them disappeared at the same time from the White Jade Square.

As the four disappeared, sighs and gasps rang out in the White Jade Square. Soon after, most everyone left.

After that, news of the announcement of the three titles of the Child of the Continent spread at an alarming rate. It would not be long before such news spread throughout the entire Great Thousand World!

As the spiritual light before Mu Chen dissipated, he found that his surroundings were dark, as if it were deep in the starry sky. The stillness was a bit daunting.

At that moment, a slightly cold hand stretched out and grasped Mu Chen's palm. Mu Chen held it gently, seeing Luo Li beside him.

At this time, the darkness ahead of them seemed to peel away. Mu Chen then saw a dazzling starry sky in the depths of darkness.

In that starry sky, strange and exuberant giant whales swam past the stars, rocs spread their wings, and towering giant trees swayed in the wind. It was like an ancient world!

Among these sights, Mu Chen felt an extremely pure and ancient spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was completely different from that of the outside world, almost as if they had originated from the ancient times! Everything was ancient, but pristine.

"This is where the powers of heaven and earth converge in the Western Kingdom Continent, and it took hundreds of years of fusion to form all of these strange things. This is where your Baptism of the Continent will take place," the West Heaven Emperor said nonchalantly.

He then added, "Now, you will go straight into it and absorb the strange phenomena, the result thereafter will depend on your own fates."

Hearing this, Mu Chen didn't realize that anything was amiss, but Luo Li's gaze suddenly flickered. She then asked, "War Emperor, are you saying that we have to absorb the Baptism Strength ourselves?"

The West Heaven War Emperor nodded.

Upon hearing this, Luo Li's eyebrows knit together and anger flashed in her eyes. She then said, "War Emperor, you are going too far!"

Seeing Luo Li's expression, Mu Chen's brows knit together too. He then felt alarmed and looked at the War Emperor, as he seemed to be up to no good!
