Sophia's smile widened slightly, a glint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
"When are we leaving for the Four God Nation?" Max asked suddenly, already planning ahead in his mind.
"Half a year from now," Sophia replied without pause. "The conference won't begin until then. But be prepared, Max. There will be geniuses participating who are already in the Mythic Rank. This isn't an ordinary gathering of youths—it's one of the grandest events of our world."
She paused for a moment before continuing, her tone carrying weight. "And a year after that will be the Divine Mandate Grand Tournament. People in the Middle Domain treat the Divine Mandate as if it's the pinnacle of competition, but compared to the Four God Nation Genius Conference, it's nothing. If you can stand out in the conference, if you can defeat some of the Mythic Rank geniuses there… then winning the Divine Mandate Grand Tournament next year would be all but guaranteed."
