Inside the training space:
Hiroshi sat cross-legged atop a towering mountain, surrounded by rolling mists and an endless sea of clouds swirling in the wind.
Focusing intently, Hiroshi gathered infinite spiritual energy into his body. Quickly adjusting his state, he opened his attribute panel:
Hiroshi, Lv28 [124800/23500] [Demi-God]

Hiroshi's Demi-God Body Lv8 (A demi-god body nurtured by the newborn micro world, carrying the nascent world within)
Hiroshi's Soul Anchor Lv8 (The anchor and foundation of the micro world's existence)
Hiroshi stroked his chin and nodded with satisfaction at the panel. His efforts over the past weeks had not been in vain; his abilities had reached the threshold required to break through to the sacred level.
Raising his hand, Hiroshi tapped on the panel and closed his eyes as his experience points and inner power began to surge. The rapid expenditure of experience propelled him past thresholds that would have taken ages to overcome.
Hiroshi's micro world, having reached its limit, began accumulating energy at an astonishing rate. His physical body and soul underwent a transformation, evolving and perfecting themselves. His demi-god body and soul anchor advanced toward max levels.
The vast sea of clouds outside swirled violently, and golden sunlight illuminated Hiroshi's figure, shrouded in mist.
A soft, long hum resonated in Hiroshi's mind, bringing a faint smile to his face. This marked the breakthrough of his micro world, body, soul, and abilities. The spirit of his micro world was eager to ascend to higher realms.
The experience points on his panel rapidly vanished as his level climbed higher. Within him, energies intertwined and fused, propelling him toward a more divine state. Inside his micro world, the skies grew higher, the earth thicker, and the central mountain more majestic. Streams turned into rivers flowing toward distant oceans.
Above, a true dragon roamed the skies. As the world expanded, its form grew more immense. Its radiant eyes, a blend of yin and yang, shimmered with starlight that danced on its brilliant scales.
In Hiroshi's micro world, once illusory celestial bodies began to take on a tangible form, with stars twinkling vividly in the sky. On the grasslands below, a herd of wild boars thundered past. A grass slime peeked its head out of the trampled grass, bounced twice, and disappeared back into the earth.
As life flourished, the stars above shone brighter. Outside, multicolored spiritual energy intertwined around Hiroshi's body. Darkness and light, inherited from Banir and Gabriel respectively, fused into a harmonious balance of black and white.
Within, the power of the five elements transformed into yin and yang, encapsulating Hiroshi in an egg-like cocoon to nurture his rebirth.
The energy in the space churned, and all creation sang in celebration of the sacred being about to emerge. Enshrouded in endless mist atop the mountain, Hiroshi slowly opened his eyes.
Surveying his surroundings, he gently touched the black-and-white membrane before recalling it into his body. His eyes glimmered with the faint images of the sun and moon as a smile spread across his face. Rules that he had only been able to sense during breakthroughs were now visible to the naked eye. Though likely due to the open nature of the training space's rules, this still marked a significant step forward.
His body and soul had ascended to new heights, his internal world had expanded into a mid-level world. The five elements merged into yin and yang, which birthed myriad phenomena. These phenomena condensed into starlight, and his micro world had now advanced into a mid-tier world.
Clenching his fist, Hiroshi opened his attribute panel once more:
Hiroshi, Lv31 [39300/43500] [Demi-God]

Constitution: 200
Agility: 200
Intelligence: 200

World Divine Soul Lv2 (A divine soul anchoring and governing the world, forged from the yin-yang five-element essence)
With a smile, Hiroshi stretched his arms and gazed at the sun rising in the distance. "Finally, I've reached this stage. It feels like both an eternity and a fleeting moment."
Recalling his many experiences, Hiroshi chuckled and shook his head before stepping out of the training space.
On the sofa, Hiroshi reappeared. He glanced at the world outside and squinted with a smile. Catching the tumbling forms of Qiqi and Klee, he gently rubbed their heads as they nestled into him.
"Later, we're going to the new group member's place for dinner. Make sure to remember, you two."
"Okay."
Klee climbed onto Hiroshi, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Brother Hiroshi~ Sister Hifumi wants Klee to bring Qiqi to visit her tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"It's really you who wants to visit, right?" Hiroshi laughed, pulling Klee off him and patting her head. "If Hifumi wants to host you, go ahead. But no mischief, understand?"
"Hehe, Klee understands." Hugging his arm, Klee grinned. "Klee will be good tomorrow, and Sister Qiqi will be there too. Don't worry, Brother Hiroshi."
Holding Qiqi's cool little body, Hiroshi instructed, "Qiqi, keep an eye on Klee and note down any mischief she gets into."
Then, turning to the frozen Klee, he smirked. "I'll invite Jean over to visit if there's any trouble."
"Oh."
Blinking her large eyes, Qiqi looked at the stunned Klee before nodding at Hiroshi. "Brother Hiroshi, don't worry. Qiqi, as the elder sister, will take care of Klee."
"Good." Hugging Qiqi, Hiroshi smiled and rubbed his forehead against hers. "And you too, Qiqi. Be good. Soon, you'll no longer be a zombie. I'll make sure of it."
