If one would describe it, it would be a cacophony of colors and regality where one could observe blue essence rushing in one direction, red essence rushing in another, and a gorgeous color of white bathing every inch and corner of the spiritual land!
What many could observe before they had to close their eyes as it was shining too brightly, was actually the mana that was leaking out of Noah's ancient blood clone. It was coming out at such a rate that one could visibly see the shining blue color that continued to descend down towards the enormous spiritual land.
Noah simply acted like a conduit as he 100% knew at this moment that he was the only being who remotely had the possibility of doing something like this, the mana that was required being something that maybe only those nearing the peak of power in the Novus Galaxy being able to provide!
This reality of upgrading this unique treasure called the Spiritual Land simply required too much mana that when he looked at people like Steel Mikhail and Kazuhiko or the Imperial Phoenix that held their own spiritual lands, he knew for sure that they would never be able to upgrade their Tiers at the stage that he was currently doing.
They would never be able to get their hands on a world core, nor be able to provide this abundant energy that was all coming out of the reserves of the many stars he was connected to!
This led him to briefly think about all the things that had brought him here. How the Beast World that was being overtaken by the demons from the Demon World was the reason for and where his journey into other worlds began. With the demon invasion and then entering the Beast world to fight off the demons until he got his hands on the Spiritual Land in the process.
He thought of all the events that led up to him obtaining this unique treasure and what had happened since then as everything seemed to be steered by the hands of fate!
He seemed to be a singular being that met the many strict conditions to do what he was currently doing because of a coincidental set of events that all led here!
It was at this stage but he evaluated many of the things that had occurred to him as he wondered, just how many of them were based on his choices and his actions, and how many were steered by an unknown hand of fate?
He actually found himself asking a question that a certain War Princess always had in her heart. What exactly did fate have in store for him?
He held no answer at this moment as he put these terrifying thoughts in the back of his mind and continued observing the upgrade of something beautiful.
He visibly watched the floating landmass that was the spiritual land continue to expand ever so larger, its size going from 1,000 miles to 1,500 and then simply doubling to 2,000 from the original size when it was in the Eighth Tier. When it reached approximately 2,000 miles in all directions, light continued to converge towards it with even more vigor. The blue thin film of light that surrounded it only getting stronger as it reached a crescendo of buildup!
RUMBLE!
At this point in time, from the circular shape of the floating spiritual land a blast of blue light released from it that went out in all directions. It was a light that announced the completion of something grand, of something beautiful, as even Noah's eyes were blinded by the light entirely!
His eyes opened to glance at the magnificent Spiritual Land thereafter as he observed it now held an even stronger protective film of light, its grandeur stably standing in the void of space as at this moment, he shockingly heard something that could only be coming out at the center of the Spiritual Land.
[Hello, Master.]
Noah's eyes opened wide as he heard this voice, his gaze focusing on the spiritual land and piercing through the many layers as he followed the voice to the exact center of this floating landmass where he now saw a powerfully shining blue core slowly rotating, the voice that he had heard in his mind coming from this exact location!
For the first time in the past day since he received the Infernal Lord title, Noah finally found himself having a real smile as he was faced with this new situation.
His expression was actually joyful as he realized a consciousness had appeared from the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land the moment it absorbed the core of a small world and was upgraded from the eighth and into the ninth tier! This voice was also very similar to the voice of the Small World that he had obtained the Core from!
Furthermore, under the management skill he had always used for this floating landmass, he had seen a change of words from Spiritual Land and into Spiritual World!
…!!!
Chapter 419 - A Manager!
A mystically floating landmass was amazingly stationed in the void of space, its size nearing that of Small Worlds.
In the past, it could have been called a Spiritual Land. But currently, it was known as a Spiritual World!
Noah's Ancient Blood Clone glanced at this marvel as he replied to the robot like voice in his mind.
"You are…"
[The essence of the Spiritual World. With your permission, I will be overseeing many of its functions, being capable of designing cities and countries, as well as using all the other features under Spiritual World Management to craft in the Blacksmith's Forge or design the Law Spaces.]
A wonderful reply came to his mind as he explored the fantastical situation opening itself to him after the upgrade of the Spiritual World. He nodded as he glanced at the skill that was now renamed {Spiritual World Management} first!

Upgrade Conditions: 10+ Spiritual Land Beasts at the Domain Rank, A Large World Core
A large set of words shone in a clear blue in the panel of {Spiritual World Management}, Noah glancing through all the changes as he observed the newest ones with shining eyes.
The first thing he noticed was the fairly eye catching descriptions of the new medicinal plants available for planting!
[Fire Starter] :: A unique medicinal herb that can only grow in the Fire Law Space. The matured herb will contain the essence of the Law of Fire, granting those that consume it faster comprehension in this law. Maturing Time- 10 Years.
[Frigid Apple] :: A unique fruit that can only grow in the Water Law Space. The matured herb will contain the essence of the Law of Water, granting those that consume it faster comprehension in this law. Maturing Time- 10 Years.
Noah read over the description of the plants that were the first of their kind to actually give benefits to laws. The long maturing time that was attached to them did not bother him one bit as he had [Budding Farmer] to reduce this time by a large amount, and he also planned to have many of them planted in the Time Space of the Spiritual World that was many miles wide now!
Next up, he observed the newly unlocked feature, which was called [Division].
[Division] :: The Spiritual World is unique, holding features that are rare to find across the stars. One of these features is the ability to divide the Spiritual World into connected landmasses, giving one the versatility of designing something that is only limited by their imagination.
A fairly straightforward description that also left a lot of things in the air floated in front of him, his mind already thinking of the possibilitie
s when he heard the voice of the Spiritual World again.
[Master, this Division Feature can be used to exquisitely design areas where you can have things like different Law Spaces or special environments. The Fire Law Space could be made into its own floating island, the Time Space could have its own area, and much more.]
Noah listened to the thoughts seamlessly entering his mind as he knew he would be utilizing this Spiritual World to an even bigger potential now that it had an entity to do every single task for him.
All he would need to do was give the commands on what he wanted to be done, and this entity would carry it out in the best way possible! He already had a grand image in his mind of this Spiritual World having exquisitely designed areas with multiple environments and Law Spaces, specifically designated lands for farming and architecture from different worlds appearing beautifully all around this large Spiritual World.
These were all ideas in his mind, but this entity that now stood at the center of the Spiritual World would make them a reality in the future!
He put these thoughts aside as he continued looking through the changes under {Spiritual World Management}, seeing that all the previous features were boosted in their own ways. He glanced at the upgraded changes under the [Law Space] feature as currently, only the Fate and Chaos Spaces seemed to be remaining locked.
[Law Space] :: Fields containing a higher concentration of particular laws can be created, granting increased comprehension speed to all that cultivate within. Currently unlocked spaces: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Time, Space, Light, Dark. Locked spaces: Fate, Chaos...
It seemed like the next upgrade of tiers for the Spiritual World would be when he would be able to make the Fate and Chaos Spaces which should be able to drastically improve how fast he condensed Fate Lines and Chaos Particles. He glanced at the changes of the Blacksmith's Forge next.
[Blacksmith's Forge]- Unlocked Features: [Forge] [Refine] [Repair] [Recipe Design]. Locked Features: [Evolve]...
A new feature had been unlocked, this time being the [Recipe Design]!
[Recipe Design] :: The Spiritual World Master can design Item Blueprints that the forge can then analyze the viability before they are forged with the required materials.
A simple explanation laid out in front of him, giving him even more thoughts as he knew he would be very busy in the coming days with all the things he had on his hands.
The last thing he looked at was the conditions to upgrade to the 10th Tier, requiring a similar number of beasts like last time to reach the next rank, but the requirement of a Large World Core going along with it. This was a fairly difficult requirement, as it was nigh impossible to find a Large World that was uninhabitable and did not have any beings in the billions populating it.
This was because a world only had the possibility of reaching that stage because of the fates of the beings it carried if it wasn't already at that stage in the beginning. This meant that when the time came for him to look for the Core of a Large World, he had to be creative or end up doing something horrendous!
But he left all of these thoughts for the future as he currently focused on the task at hand. There were a multitude of things he wanted to explore in this fantastical newly upgraded Spiritual World, and he also wanted to begin the Dual Cultivation of Chaos and Fate, where he focused on Fate next as he brought the number of Fate Lines from 26,000 and pushed it further up. The number of Lines of Fate was already slowly increasing as his main body was with Athena in the Celestial Realm continuously purifying materials from Chaos Behemoths, but it's rate did not even come close to the speed he found with his Dual Cultivation method!
His body disappeared into particles of light as he descended into the Spiritual Land first, wanting to test its new Manager as well as observe how it would carry out the features!
Chapter 420 - Breathtaking
Steel Mikhail glanced at the surroundings of the Spiritual Land as he had his usual cold exterior on the outside, but inside his heart was trembling at the continuing unfolding situation around him!
This Protector still referred to the landmass he was on as the Spiritual Land, but even he was wondering whether this was an apt name for such a fantastical place that was now floating in the void of space.
He sensed the overflowing essence as his gaze and the gazes of many others looked to the skies of the Spiritual Land, seeing twinkling stars above them as they became entranced by it. From the position he was at, he knew that even with the limits of where he could spread his aura, he wouldn't be able to fully ascertain the size of this Spiritual Land that had grown immensely larger.
This wasn't to mention the area overflowing with the Law of Fire that had allowed him to condense a Fire Origin Core after obtaining the Inheritance that Noah led them to not too long ago.
Steel Mikhail thought about this being that at one stage, he had considered to be on the same level as him! Now, he seemed so extremely far away, to the point that he did not even know which manner to talk to him anymore. The powerful air he released made him seem foreign, like an entirely different person from when he first met him in the Blessed Empire.
He had looked at this being before as a much stronger Hunter who provided much needed help to push back against the demons, but ever since then, the things he continued to do had just continued to astound and break the common sense that all the people like him had.
The things he did were so ridiculous to wrap one's mind around that if he told himself of the events just four months ago, he would laugh as he threw them aside as lies!
There were somehow numerous portals in this being's Spiritual Land that connected to multiple worlds. Oh and somehow, he had descended down or sent his forces into these worlds to lead them to submission. Aside from this fantastic floating land, he was able to enter the ranks of the most powerful beings of their Galaxy and seamlessly stay in their ranks, gaining access to a realm unlike anything from their imaginations.
He was also able to gain something secretive like the bloodline of the Vampyre Progenitor, where he shared other bloodlines of Vampyres like nothing to him and many others, his hands being so full that he simply created a portal connecting their small blue planet to a Prime World called an Ancient Blood World that held its own unique and amazing opportunities.
There were so many things occurring around this being that if Mikhail was to tell himself this in the past, he wouldn't believe it!
And now, on the latest venture, he had his Spiritual Land upgraded to another tier yet again as Mikhail felt an unexplainable feeling. He had the thought that the land he was standing on actually did not feel all that different from the worlds that he had the chance to travel into because of Noah.
This thought actually scared him as the implications of this Spiritual Land being a world carried an immense weight that he could not fully fathom right now!
Steel Mikhail was surrounded by the other Harbingers as they watched spectacular changes appearing right in front of their eyes, those with high realms being able to spread their auras out as they began to observe large scale changes that shocked them to their cores.
They first watched as Noah appeared in the skies of the Spiritual Land far away from them, where they could only observe if they used long distance skills as the land they were on had become exceedingly vast after the last upgrade.
But they saw his appearance in the skies, and then felt shaking thereafter as they observed a stupendous sight of huge sections of landmasses splitting apart, some rising while others fell!
RUMBLE!
They shockingly watched as a landmass of a few hundred miles rose in the north, and others of similar size breaking off from the Spiritual Land and rising in the south, east, and west.
They were left on what could now be considered a central landmass where much of the architecture was at, their jaws agape as a coalescence of colorful essence and lights covered the four huge landmasses that were hundreds of miles long!
To their North, the huge landmass t
hat had risen there had the Fire Law Space that they were cultivating the Disciple of Fire in before, its sheen being slight red as those whose eyes could observe more would be able to see that the Fire Law Space was expanding rapidly, going on to cover most of this floating island as the atmospheric fire elements began to wildly converge in this particular island.
The other ones did not have a Law Space initiated to be built yet, so the next thing they could observe was the formation of resplendent blue lines from each of the risen land masses as they connected to one another, and to the central landmass they were on as well!
These blue lines shimmered as they seemed to be calling forth the surrounding earth, the beings in the Spiritual World watching with agape expressions as solid earth converged on these blue lines that connected the landmasses and began forming into the shapes of exquisitely designed bridges.
It was something reminiscent of the small floating peaks of the Frozen Kingdom in the Beast World that had staircases one could climb in a matter of minutes to reach another peak, but the huge bridges and stairs being created to connect each of the landmasses that had broken off from the Spiritual World were tens of miles long, with some even being more than a hundred miles long!
It was a scene straight out of fantasy as in front of the eyes of shocked beings, four huge islands had broken off from a central one on the Spiritual Land, huge and long connections being built on each of these floating islands as a beautiful scenery was created.
OOOM
Essence gradually settled down on the Spiritual World that floated stably in the void of space between the Light and Dark Expanse. If one were to observe from the expanse of space, they would see an extremely large landmass that could be considered an entire world by its size. A blue film of light shimmered and surrounded this small world as one could distinctly see four smaller continental land masses on each of the four directions of this world!
