Promotion, Transformation, Deterrence

This Conversion Ceremony lasted from early morning until dusk, and only a little over half had been completed.

That was to say, 160,000 prisoners had officially joined the Dawn Tribe.

Although the ceremony was long and tedious, no one felt weary.

Quite the opposite.

Everyone was immensely excited.

Because the Totem Pillar had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Its height had surged from just over twenty meters to an astonishing eighty meters, and it was still growing.

It was now comparable in height to the Totem Pillars of large tribes.

How could this not fill everyone with joy? All the prisoners began to rejoice that they had joined such a powerful tribe.

Furthermore.

The "protrusion" that had emerged earlier had already grown into the main trunk of the Totem Pillar.

The original trident had instead become branches.

Anyone with even a little knowledge understood that this meant the Totem Power within the pillar had changed as well.

Height was external.

Totem Power was internal.

In other words.

This was a drastic transformation from the inside out.

As night approached.

Another group of a thousand prisoners completed the Conversion Ceremony.

Just then.

A startling change occurred.

Rumble!

An illusory clap of thunder sounded.

The Totem Pillar trembled, then suddenly emitted a faint glow.

Against the darkening sky, this sight was especially conspicuous.

Cries of surprise rang out.

Every face was filled with shock.

Everyone realized that they were witnessing an unprecedented event.

Black Stone also entered a mysterious state.

Although he was not yet capable of observing the Sea of Spirit, he could feel with absolute clarity that something strange had appeared within his mind.

He also sensed that his connection to the Totem Pillar had become closer than ever before.

Black Stone vaguely felt that something extraordinary was happening inside him.
