Ten True Gods were capable of forcefully opening the gateway to the Divine World!

Therefore, once someone ascended to the realm of a True God, the first thing they would do was head to the entrance of the Divine World to wait. At this moment, eight deities were already silently waiting there.

The Bright God, Goddess of Dawn, Goddess of War, Sun God, God of Flames, …

Most of these deities had once sat high in the Pantheon; even if they had fallen to the mortal realm, their rise was much quicker than that of ordinary people.

Among these individuals was the wanderer, Dustin, likely the only newcomer deity. He stood out awkwardly in the crowd, and others subtly kept their distance from him, almost as if an invisible barrier separated him from the rest.

“Ten True Gods have already been born; why haven’t the ninth and the tenth arrived yet? Could it be they do not plan to enter the Divine World?” a middle-aged man clad in golden armor, who gripped a golden spear in his hand, furrowed his brow and roared impatiently.

“If they don’t want to enter, they don’t want to enter; there will always be those who are eager to be the first to enter the Divine World!” The Goddess of War, dressed in bronze armor, glanced at the middle-aged man and said indifferently, “If they don’t wish to go, then the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth will come into being. Opening the Divine World is only a matter of time!”

“Hmph, the Divine World is vast and limitless, filled with countless treasures, within the Pantheon…” At this point, the Sun God Adir suddenly halted his speech, glancing at the Bright God with a look full of dread, before continuing to shout, “The catastrophe happened so suddenly; countless divine artifacts have been left behind in the Divine World, and within the Pantheon, there even lies the God King’s Lightning Spear. Are you not tempted at all!”

A scantily clad goddess gently caressed the two emerald snakes coiled around her wrist and chuckled lightly, “Adir, you think you can covet the scepter of the God King? The Lightning Spear is not something you can touch; otherwise, take care, lest you truly fall…”

Adir glanced at the youthful-looking goddess of poison with a hint of dread in his eyes, snorted coldly, and fell silent.

Just then, a man whose back radiated the phantom image of endless Divine Countries opened his eyes and looked into the distance, saying softly, “They’re here!”

Soon, everyone turned their heads to look into the distance, where a blurry figure was advancing towards them against the gusting wind. As the figure approached, everyone could finally see the person’s appearance.

A man with bare feet, wearing only a worn-out robe, appeared before everyone. He looked like a wandering ascetic, his face marred by sorrow, but his muscles bulged, filled with strength. On his forehead, a strange rune glowed!

Seeing the inner rune of the man, the deities who had been waiting for some time each revealed a rune on their foreheads. These runes represented the Power of Law they had grasped, and the more Laws they understood, the more intricate the rune on their forehead became.

At present, most deities had only grasped a single Power of Law, whereas the Bright God’s forehead rune was much more complex than the others, having mastered at least four Laws. This was one of the reasons the others so dearly dreaded the Bright God.

“He is…” Sun God Adir furrowed his brow. The aura of the person before him was too unfamiliar; this individual must be a new deity like the wanderer Dustin, one who had risen after the recent catastrophe.

Everyone scrutinized the rune on the stranger’s forehead, assessing the newcomer’s power and determining which Law of Power it represented.

“Are you the ninth to ascend, the Favored by the Gods, Song Jian?” the poisonous goddess, Miao Mei, looked at the ascetic curiously and asked loudly.

“I am the ascetic Monolighan, pleased to meet all the deities,” said the middle-aged man with a look of sorrow, bowing to everyone as the rune on his forehead gradually faded.

“So, he is the tenth to ascend…” Miao Mei, the poisonous goddess, lightly stroked the emerald snakes on her wrist, sounding somewhat disappointed.

As the tenth deity, Monolighan’s status was the same as that of the wanderer Dustin, another newly ascended deity. Upon seeing Monolighan, Dustin’s face lit up with joy and he hurriedly waved him over.

Monolighan had also recognized Dustin immediately. Although they were previously unacquainted, they now naturally formed an alliance and stood together.

“Does that God’s Favored, want to come or not?” The irascible Sun God Adir jabbed his spear fiercely into a nearby rock face.

“`

With a thunderous roar, the entire mountain peak collapsed under the strike, kicking up dust and revealing the unsatisfied expressions on the gods’ faces.

“What’s the rush? Since he’s unwilling to come, someone else will eventually. We can wait for the eleventh and twelfth deities to ascend,” it’s just a matter of time!”

As they were speaking, a piercing howl suddenly echoed in the sky, as a figure standing on a flying sword quickly streaked across the sky.

Song Jian’s brows furrowed slightly, he had been searching this area for several hours already, but had not managed to find the entrance to the Divine World.

“Could it be that even the map of the Divine World’s entrance gifted by the system is wrong!” Song Jian muttered to himself.

Just then, a rumble came from the distance. Song Jian’s expression shifted, and he flew towards the source of the sound.

Indeed, amidst a patch of fog, a narrow valley emerged before Song Jian’s eyes.

Song Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and descended.

At this moment, nine deities stood at the other end of the canyon, staring intently at Song Jian.

Without intention, a complex rune appeared at the center of Song Jian’s brow, a symbol intertwined between the Power of Law and the Law of Flames.

“The Law of Flames…” The God of Flames, Teer’s expression shifted as he looked at Song Jian, a cryptic smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Although both had grasped the Law of Flames, Teer believed that no one besides himself could truly understand the essence of the Law of Flames.

“Aside from the Law of Flames, he has also mastered another highly formidable Power of Law, a shame…” Teer thought to himself.

“The Blessed by God, Song Jian?” The Bright God sized up Song Jian, that name seemed familiar to him.

“Well then, now that he’s finally arrived, let’s get started!” The Sun God, Adir, said impatiently.

Song Jian scrutinized the group, his gaze settling on the Bright God, the most formidable presence among them, and from him, Song Jian felt a subtle hostility.

“Let’s begin,” said the God of Light indifferently, as a thick white radiance started to emanate from his body.

Humm~

A gentle sound as a speck of divine power flew out from the God of Light’s forehead, heading towards the end of the canyon.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

A speck of divine power flew out from atop each person’s head, ten specks of divine power joined together to form a complex symbol, plunging into the fog at the canyon’s end.

Everyone waited patiently, and moments later, with a rumble, the fog at the end of the canyon dispersed, revealing an enormous light gate a hundred zhang tall in front of everyone.

“Hahaha, my dear fellows, I’ll go ahead and wait for you all at the Pantheon!” The God of Light laughed heartily, his body rapidly swelling in size, and within a short duration, he transformed into a giant over forty zhang tall, striding towards the light gate.
