The next day, Monster Country Federation.
[System check-in!]
[Ding, congratulations Host on obtaining a Great Overarching Dao Fruit! (Seven-colored)]
[Holy crap!!!]
Great Overarching Dao Fruit: Dig, dig, dig in the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, and a small Great Overarching Dao Fruit is easily dug out!
Zhong Chen looked at the seven-colored fruit in his hand, his face full of question marks.
[System, did you really steal… take this from the Primordial World?]
[Uh… that… actually… the description was something I just made up!]
[What?]
[Wasn't it to make it sound more impressive by associating it with the Primordial World?]
[...]
"Forget it, who cares where it came from, just eat it."
After Zhong Chen finished speaking, he swallowed the Great Overarching Dao Fruit in one gulp.
Only three 'ding, ding, ding' sounds were heard, and three bright light bulbs suddenly appeared above Zhong Chen's head. Uh… they were three shiny white lotuses.
As the lotus petals continuously fell onto Zhong Chen's head, Zhong Chen's cultivation also rapidly increased.
Early Taiyi Golden Immortal… Mid Taiyi Golden Immortal… Late Taiyi Golden Immortal… As the three lotuses withered, Zhong Chen's cultivation smoothly reached the peak of Great Overarching Golden Immortal.
"Wow!!! Is this what it feels like to be a Great Overarching Golden Immortal!!!"
"Compared to a Golden Immortal, this is simply…"
"There's no change at all!!!"
Feeling that he was only a tiny bit stronger in cultivation and a tiny bit stronger in divine abilities, but otherwise completely no different from when he was a Golden Immortal, Zhong Chen couldn't help but shout loudly.

Zhong Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he looked at the system's evaluation.
"My life has truly been like treading on thin ice. From the beginning, when I couldn't even beat a chicken, to now, where everyone looks like an ant."
"How much hardship and difficulty I've endured in the past year or so, the bitterness within can only be known by me…"
[Hey, hey, hey, Host, that's enough!]
[Where have you been suffering and enduring hardships, you bastard! You need to be a bit more reliable when you lie!!!]
[Cough, cough… Wasn't I just getting emotional? If I didn't say something, it would feel like something was missing…]
[Heh… Loser!]
[I @#$%]
"Hmph hmph hmph, I'm a magnanimous person and won't stoop to your level!"
After speaking, Zhong Chen got out of bed and went to the window, pulling open the curtains with a stretch of his hand. Brilliant sunlight instantly flooded the room.
"Ah ah ah ah!!! So dazzling, it's the sun, it's the sun! I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!!"
Click… As the door was pushed open, Sakuya walked in with two bodyguards and immediately saw Zhong Chen rolling on the floor.
"Master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the others have arrived. They said they have important matters to discuss with you."
Sakuya said to Zhong Chen on the floor with a poker face, completely immune to Zhong Chen's antics of rolling around.
After all, Zhong Chen did this every other day.
The two bodyguards dressed in Western cowboy attire, who were following Sakuya, shook their heads with disdain.
"Oh my goodness, are you two trying to rebel? I'm your master!"
"Meow? (Is this really what my master is like?)"
"Squeak! (Tom is right!)"
"Cough, cough… Isn't it just because I'm bored…"
Zhong Chen, scorned by the two little ones, finally stood up awkwardly and walked downstairs with Sakuya.
As Zhong Chen appeared in the hall, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Benimaru, and the others all stood up and bowed, saying:
"Lord Chen! *n"
"Alright, everyone sit down. Is there something you all need to see me about?"
Zhong Chen sat on the sofa and asked the seated crowd.
"Um… Lord Chen, the Monster Country Federation has been established for so long, but not a single major meeting has been held."
"So we were thinking, should we hold a grand assembly to discuss the Monster Country Federation's development and future goals nationwide?"
Rigurd looked at Zhong Chen respectfully and said.
Upon hearing his words, Zhong Chen also fell into deep thought.
Indeed, the Monster Country Federation had never held a nationwide assembly since its establishment.
"Rimuru, what do you think?"
Zhong Chen did not make a decision himself but looked at Rimuru, who was sitting opposite him.
"A Chen, I think it's a good idea. Besides, didn't the Eastern Empire send a delegation last time? We can discuss it at the assembly."
"Yes, the Eastern Empire's delegation returned some time ago, but they brought up some suggestions, or rather, threats…"
At this point, Kagaya Ubuyashiki glanced at Zhong Chen and, seeing no change in his expression, continued:
"I think such important matters still need to be decided by you, Lord Chen, and Lord Rimuru."
"Good, since there are so many issues, let's hold a grand assembly and solve all problems at once!"
"All key personnel from every department must attend. Those who cannot make it will participate via video conference."
"As for the Eastern Empire… Ants dare to threaten the sun…"
As he spoke, a hint of killing intent flashed in Zhong Chen's eyes.
If the Eastern Empire had been well-behaved, Zhong Chen wouldn't have bothered with it. He didn't expect them to actively seek death.
Then, Zhong, the Great Overarching Golden Immortal, couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
"Yes! Lord Chen, we will go prepare for the assembly immediately!"
"Mm, go on."
Zhong Chen nodded at everyone, and Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the others stood up, bowed, and left.
"By the way, is this hall a bit too small now? When there are too many people, there's not enough space to sit."
Zhong Chen remembered that Gobuta had been squeezed out of sight just now, and couldn't help but ask Rimuru.
"Yes, more and more people are coming here to see us now, and the originally spacious hall is becoming increasingly insufficient."
Hearing Rimuru say this, Zhong Chen nodded in agreement.
"The main thing is that the hall is a bit small; there's nothing else. In that case…"
Zhong Chen waved his right hand, and the hall instantly became spotless. Rimuru looked at Zhong Chen in confusion and asked:
"A Chen, are you cleaning?"
"This is just the surface. Now the hall can automatically expand or shrink according to the number of people."
"This way, we don't have to worry about too many people!"
"I see…"
Time flowed by like filler text, until three days later, when the assembly officially began…
