The entire land quaked with deafening roars.
In Lu's eyes, the plane origin underwent a massive transformation.
Originally, by absorbing another mid-martial world's origin, Wuhuang's origin had expanded to its limit—like a balloon blown to the brink; one more puff and it would burst.
But now, the plane origin could grow again. With the world upgrade, the cap rose; mid-martial level origin gained vast energy.
This was merely the origin's change.
Atop Baiyujing pavilion, Lu was solemn; developments exceeded expectations.

Gaze upon it; the world's visage presented.

Some areas expanded—like stretched rubber bands; mountains at least doubled.
Sharp peaks rose; towering mountains sprouted like bamboo shoots from the soil.
The whole land trembled.
Some places changed little; Lu probed—mostly beyond original Great Zhou domain.
Thus, expansion within Great Zhou territory.
