The originally prepared celebration banquet was held as planned. Except for Qian Er, everyone else got drunk. This banquet, which brought together 80% of humanity's True Kings, attracted countless eyes from the very beginning. Spies from various races frantically came to inquire, wanting to know what these lunatics were up to.

That night, a piece of news spread throughout the myriad races, causing all the leaders of the myriad races to lose sleep.
A human with profound potential is suspected of advancing to demigodhood!!!
With this news, the world, which was originally becoming increasingly volatile, suddenly cooled down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on it. The large races were worried, and the small races were even more worried. After all, those were humans, the most ferocious among the myriad races. Now that the humans were powerful, was there still room for them to survive?
What's more, they had recently heard that the humans had gone to war with the Void Sky Cranes, and had sunk the Void Sky Cranes' floating continent. How could they not panic?
… …
"Ugh… my head really hurts. I want to take my stomach out and wash it in water."
In a hall of the Imperial Academy, which had been temporarily requisitioned as the venue for yesterday's banquet, the scene was a mess. Various True Kings, whose stomps outside could make a country tremble, were sprawled all over the place, except for Qian Er, who was leaning against the sofa, drinking the porridge brought by the student union.
He abstained from alcohol as always, a habit developed during the apocalypse. After all, getting drunk in the apocalypse was too dangerous, making him instinctively feel insecure.
So, he was the only sober one among this group.
The one who spoke just now was Yu Feiyi, who was lying at Qian Er's feet. This first Holy-type True King in human history was now mumbling without any decorum.
"Alright, what are you still pretending for? The news that should be spread has already been spread."
Qian Er kicked his shoe and said unhappily.
"Is there anything to eat? Get me some."
Opening his eyes in a daze, Yu Feiyi glanced at the pile of hangover porridge in lunch boxes next to Qian Er and immediately went over to take a bowl.
After a bowl of porridge, he felt a little better and explained to Qian Er.
"Originally, we did plan to put on a show for those spies from the myriad races and spread the news that we have a demigod, but wasn't there you? No one expected you to abstain from alcohol. With you watching, we were relieved. Just to make the show more realistic, the officials took out a lot of good wine that is usually used for ancestor worship. It's not easy for us to get our hands on this stuff, so we really did get drunk."
At this time, the True Kings who had been sprawled all over the place also got up one after another. The old principal rubbed his temples and explained to Qian Er with a smile.
"What happened after we got drunk yesterday?"
Yu Feiyi interrupted and asked at this time.
"Many people, non-humans, technological beings, familiars, all came. Their methods were varied. This time, it really opened my eyes."
Qian Er said with some amazement. Under their indulgence yesterday, this hall was simply infiltrated into a sieve. He didn't know that there could be so many methods for investigating intelligence.
"Is that so? Then we have to go back and prepare. Let's make it clear in advance. If we meet outside, we'll cooperate, and the harvest will be distributed according to work. Can you accept that?"
An old but burly Western Asian True King stood up, his laughter shaking the surrounding glass.
They had spent so much effort putting on this show, and the purpose was to create momentum, to tell the other races, 'Hey, buddy, we're different now. We're going to take something from your house, so be careful, or we'll beat you up.'
In the past, when they played this trick, it was all false and real, and they were always worried that they would be discovered, but this time it was different. This time it was real.
"Of course, outside the human territory, how much you eat all depends on your ability."
His words were echoed by the other True Kings.
After discussing the most important distribution of benefits, these people no longer had the mind to dawdle here. They left quickly, fearing that if they were slow, the benefits that should be allocated to them would be reduced.
"Since that's the case, then I should go too."
Seeing that the people had already left, Qian Er also said goodbye to the old principal and prepared to leave after meeting with his three teachers.
This time, the harvest was not small. He took half of the corpse of the Void Sky Crane elder at the peak of the True King realm, three True King-level Void Sky Crane corpses, one alien Void Sky Crane corpse, and countless other quasi-Kings and guardians.
Most importantly, he also received 130 Void Sky Crane eggs, one of which was even the great-grandson of a Void Sky Crane elder. All of these had to be distributed back home.
"Wait a minute, did you forget something?"
But soon, he was stopped by the old principal, whose eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at him.
"Forgot something?"
Qian Er raised an eyebrow, unable to remember.
"Alas, why didn't I notice before that you are a workaholic? You even forgot your own King Conferral Ceremony."
The old principal sighed and shook his head.
"Some time ago, the officials came to me and told me about this, asking me to help contact you, but I couldn't get in touch with you no matter what. You must be too tired over there."
The old principal looked at Qian Er, who was a head taller than him, his eyes filled with heartache.
He didn't think that Qian Er would just slack off and not care after going outside, after all, Qian Er's battle record was there for all to see.
It had only been less than three months since he went to the territory, and he had found the Reincarnation Pool of the Heavenly Curtain Bull, exterminated the remnants of the Earth Dragon Alliance, earned a hidden hand enclave for humanity, and now he had provided key clues for Senior Xiaoyue to advance to demigodhood, and had also defeated the Void Sky Cranes, making the Void Sky Cranes a subsidiary race of humanity.
If this was considered slacking off, then no one in humanity was doing anything practical.
"It's alright, mainly because the harvest is also great."
Qian Er had a rather serious hoarding tendency, and he wanted to take all the good things he saw into his arms. These were all bad habits he had developed in the apocalypse, and he didn't plan to change them after so many years.
Moreover, although he was physically tired when collecting good things, he was mentally excited.
"No matter how great it is, you have to stop and rest for a while. It's good that you don't have anything to do during this time, so take care of the King Conferral Ceremony. This time, you are the focus of everyone's attention. Even Yu Feiyi's King Conferral Ceremony last time can only be considered a small scene compared to yours."
The old principal said mysteriously, but when Qian Er asked what kind of big scene it was, he stopped talking and just kept him in suspense.
Seeing this, Qian Er smiled helplessly, said goodbye to the principal, and walked towards the dark-type teaching building.
There were classes today, and his three teachers were all teaching. He didn't know if Professor Shi Zhong had come out of seclusion.
This time, because the time was too urgent, he didn't bring the cat maid out, which was a bit of a pity.
Walking into the flesh-and-blood department's teaching building, he was greeted by several third-year students. They were stunned when they saw Qian Er, and rubbed their eyes as if in disbelief. After confirming that it was really Qian Er, they couldn't help but come up, their faces full of fanaticism.
