"It's not an upgrade requirement, but something else. Check the Island's status window and you'll know," Erix grinned.
Rin, Isabella, and others were pillars, so they could check it.

"There's no need to wait, Erix," Lilith narrowed her eyes and sharply smiled. "Tell everyone to vote today, so we can begin the World Gauntlet Tournament tomorrow."
"Let's go and check out the World Council," Lily smiled."Most of the people are going there to see it, so you can also announce it there."
Isabella, Aria, and others nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
...
Soon, everyone flew towards the Sanat ocean in the southeast of the globe and arrived there to see a massive circular structure spanning two kilometers in radius made of some sleek and exotic marble stones with carved designs.
At the center of this circular structure was a majestic white throne with golden and black designs and carved patterns.
The circular structure had an array of pillars at the edges that supported it and a huge platform surface despite being surrounded by the ocean.
Erix sent an announcement in the U-card.
[We shall begin the vote right away so the tournament can begin after 24 hours.]
After sending the announcement, Erix interacted with the World Council and started the voting process.
A notification sprung up before everyone.
[Vote to begin the World Gauntlet Tournament: Yes — No]
Everyone in the top 100 World leaderboard saw the notification.
[Jason: That guy finna become the Ruler of this world.]
[Amir: Don't dwell on useless stuff. No one else can take that position.]
[Yelwon: Who is still left?! Finish the voting.]
"We'll create a formation around the island to hide it further," Lily said. "We won't need to camouflage once the Island integrates with the planet, but it will still help us if they come here before the tournament ends."
"Yep, then let's create the formation while waiting for the reward. What do we have to do?" Rin asked.
"Erix, produce Tier-6 or higher materials of multiple types of your choice. I need 100 kilograms of them," Lilith said, a glint passing through her. "I might as well create a Hybrid Formation that can act as a camouflage and attack both. For attack, I can only use it once, but we can use it to injure and obstruct a single Reverend-order for some seconds."
"Seconds?" Aria weakly smiled.
"Yes, darling," Lilith chuckled. "We don't have higher-tiered resources to make a stronger formation."
"I have four different Tier-7 materials too," Erix grinned. "Should I produce just Tier-7?"
"And we are forgetting some leftover materials from Zerian clans," Rin coldly chuckled. "They were making a pretty big formation with materials ranging from Tier-7 to Tier-9. They should have some."
"We have emptied them, so let's search the warehouse and ask for other clans if they have some high-tiered materials " Isabella smiled. "You and I can handle that."
"Yep," Rin nodded.
Suddenly Amu appeared before Lilith and grinned widely, "Don't forget about me. I have some materials and knowledge of formations too. You got any formation recipe or you were just planning to construct a makeshift one?"
"Makeshift one with the knowledge of an Empyrean-order formation," Lilith wryly smiled.
"Alright, then let's cook something better," Amu said with a prideful smile. "I'll take out the materials I have."
The slime became ten times bigger like the size of a two-story house and opened its mouth before releasing a bunch of materials and resources.
"Thank you, Amu" Aria smiled.
"Alright, then let's get to work," Erix grinned and sat down cross-legged while spewing out materials. "Take these while I produce more."
Lilith, Lily, and Maleina left with the materials from Amu and Erix while Rin and Isabella went to take exotic materials from the big warehouse of Unfettered Kingdom where they had stored things taken from clans.
Mainly the clans who were evil and didn't want to follow a proper path.
Erix remained under the Dreanox Tree and produced Metals while Aria used her Animated Spirits to help move the materials and listen to Lilith's instructions so she could put the formation flags around the Blessed Island using her Animated Spirits as per orders.
Lilith and Amu mainly assessed the materials and refined them into formation flags while brainstorming about the formation.
Everyone got as busy as bees and started working.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed by.
Erix produced 100 kg of Metals and arrived at the edge of the Island where Lilith and Amu were working.
"Lilith, you can order the top powerhouses of the Kingdom to help with the formation after we four leave," Erix said.
"Nah," Lilith shook her head. "Just put an announcement and empty the blessed Island. Lock it off for everyone other than the Pillars."
"That's right. Aria's Animated Spirits are enough manpower," Amu grinned.
"Alright, then I'll kick out everyone," Erix said with a laugh.
Soon, everyone who had become Advanced Citizens of the Unfettered Kingdom and was allowed to live and train on the Blessed Island received a notification in their U-card.
[You will be kicked out of the Blessed Island in the next five seconds. It will be locked off until further notice to do some important maintenance.]
Afterward, Erix targeted all living presence on the Island and snapped his finger, randomly teleporting all of them en mass as they arrived at various empty areas in the wilderness and city.
He basically teleported all of them randomly within a 15-kilometer radius around the island.
Soon, fifteen minutes also passed by and the announcement of rewards began along with a surprise!
