Chapter 639: Chapter 584: Selection

The bell tolled throughout heaven and earth.

At this moment, the top of Heavenly Divine Mountain suddenly radiated an overwhelming flash of light, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, permeating the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates with a surge of unrivaled Divine Power emerging.

A wide Divine Light Channel extended down from the unattainable Heavenly Divine Mountain.

In a trance, everyone saw a towering and peerless figure descending along the Divine Light Channel.

Cloaked in flawless Divine Radiance, his face was indistinct, he was dressed in a white Holy Robe, with multiple Divine Rings appearing layer by layer, setting him off with unsurpassed nobility and extraordinariness.

Around him, Divine Lotuses blossomed, and a colorful rain of light scattered like petals in a whirlwind.

Heavenly God!

This was the Heavenly God of the Gulan Holy Sect, stepping down from the unreachable heights of the Ninth Heaven, majestic and unequaled.

Also surrounding him were pure Angels, Heavenly Dragons crossing the skies, and undying Phoenixes flapping their wings, with Immortal Light shining brightly, creating extraordinary Anomalies.

Within the endless crowd, Ye Chen lifted his gaze towards the Heavenly God on the Divine Light Path, but he did not have the urge to discern the Heavenly God’s features, for it was too easily sensed.

All those who came to the Holy City for the sacred pilgrimage, whether the most ordinary of citizens or the Sect Hierarchs who dominated their realms, and even the mighty Saints, all knelt down on this day, their expressions fervent as they worshipped the Heavenly God, shouting loudly, "Heavenly God is supreme, the Holy Sect is the highest!"

"Heavenly God is supreme, the Holy Sect is the highest!"

Like a tidal wave, the roaring chants completely shook the entire Holy City, with people from all corners of the Human Clan Territory shouting loudly.

Billions of voices joined the chant, and the vast expanse of the Human Clan Territory was thoroughly shaken.

Moreover, with their chanting, strands of the Power of Faith flew out from above their heads and entered the sky above Heavenly Divine Mountain.

Visibly, billions of strands of the Power of Faith emerged, with the more powerful Cultivators releasing the most fervent and mighty Power of Faith from atop their heads.

The entire Human Clan Territory, the countless masses of the Human Clan, released strands of the Power of Faith, which all entered the Heavenly Dome above, vast as the ocean, turning the Power of Faith into a boundless sea that engulfed the skies over the Holy City and even far beyond, terrifying in its grandeur.

For on this day of pilgrimage, the Power of Faith was stronger than ever before, surpassing the usual days, and therefore remarkably magnificent and grand.

Even Ye Chen, experiencing the overwhelming and mighty Power of Faith up close, was astounded.

It was so powerful, the bit of the Power of Faith within him was not even a pond in comparison; it was merely a puddle, the difference was too vast.

Boom—

The Supreme God of the Holy Sect released an endless light that shone upon every corner of the Human Clan Territory, a thousand times more intense than even the sun in the sky.

Under the endless illumination, various Divine Miracles occurred, and many afflicted with illness or injuries were healed and came forth recovered; and the closer they were to the Holy City, the more they felt a peaceful force acting upon them, giving a sense of sublime transcendence.

In addition, the Barbaric Land saw lush green sprouts emerging, swiftly reviving the entire land with vitality.

The dried-up rivers rapidly filled up again.

All the people were continuously shouting slogans—

"Heavenly Gods are supreme, the Holy Sect is the highest!"

After half a day, everything calmed down because the Heavenly God gestured with his hand for quiet and then nodded to the people of the world before he vanished, the radiance gone.

But at this time, the Holy City was boiling over with excitement because the young generation’s selection competition had officially begun.

Within the Human Clan Territory of the Gulan Continent, there were countless Heavenly Prides, too numerous to count. Today, ten slots would be contested for, to ascend the Heavenly Divine Mountain and receive the personal baptism of the Heavenly God, to be bathed in divine light and reborn.

Obviously, this was to be the most grandiose young generation competition in ten years, unprecedented in its intensity, a grand event that attracted the attention of tens of thousands.

Boom—

The bell on the Heavenly Divine Mountain rang once again.

Soon after, a Holy Elder robed in gold-trimmed Holy Robe appeared within the Holy Sect. With a kindly and benevolent face, he addressed the countless people in the vast Holy City, his voice imbued with Divine Power resonating through the air above the Holy City, "Today, after the pilgrimage of tens of thousands, comes the once-a-decade selection competition for the young generation. The Holy Sect will select ten of the most outstanding youths to be exceptionally allowed to ascend the Heavenly Divine Mountain for baptism and to be reborn anew."

Roar—

The entire city seethed with excitement because what everyone was most concerned about was this selection competition for the young generation.

Once a decade, it represented the most intense competition among the young generation of the Human Clan Territory, truly a grand event.

After a while had passed, the noise inside the Holy City finally quieted down, and the Holy Elder spoke, "I invite all the young talents participating in the selection to step forward and head towards the Heaven Ascending Platform!"

Swoosh, swoosh swoosh—

Inside the Holy City, numerous young figures soared into the sky, the men distinguished and the women stunning, all from various regions of the Human Clan Territory, each one powerful and the center of attention.

Naturally, Ye Chen would not miss this opportunity. He shot into the sky, following the many Heavenly Prides, to land on a huge stone platform at the base of the Heavenly Divine Mountain, known as the renowned Heaven Ascending Platform.

On the Heaven Ascending Platform, there was a wide and lengthy staircase known as the Heavenly Road, starting from this point and leading to the Heavenly Divine Mountain.

Generally speaking, unless one was a high-level member of the Holy Sect, to enter the Heavenly Divine Mountain, one had to ascend the stairs from the Heaven Ascending Platform, even masters of major forces were no exception, to show respect for the Heavenly God.

Only after learning the names of the Heaven Ascending Platform and the Heavenly Road did Ye Chen sneer.

Did the Gulan Holy Sect’s Heavenly God really have such grand ambitions, wanting to become a heaven himself, treating all the people below as lowly beings, only to worship and revere him?

"The Heavenly Dao is heartless, treating all beings as mere straws."

Yet the Heavenly God of the Holy Sect harbored such thoughts, sitting aloft on the unreachable Heavenly Divine Mountain, overlooking the vast Human Clan Territory and its billions, comparing himself to "Heaven."

Pity that "Heaven" is a taboo, untouchable, otherwise, one would find themselves entangled in great karma.

The Heaven Ascending Platform was extremely wide and vast, and looking around, just the number of participating Heavenly Prides was over ten thousand—each so outstanding. One could imagine how difficult it would be to compete for ten spots among them.

The Holy Elder landed in front of these young elites, and they all paid their respects to the Holy Elder with expressions of solemn reverence.

The Holy Elder nodded with a gentle, kind smile and then pointed towards the Heavenly Road, saying, "This time, as in past generations, those who can ascend the stairs and remain on the highest reaches of the Heavenly Road, the top ten, shall be victorious."
