Chapter 180: Chapter180-Digesting the Rewards

"O Supreme Godking, your humble devotee prays to you—when shall you return?"

This line of text seemed to transcend the bounds of endless Time itself. It bore the rust and erosion of ancient ages. If it weren’t for Owen’s sensory capabilities being far superior to those of most deities, he might never have noticed it at all.

But this throne—it was something he had personally created. He hadn’t carved any words upon it.

Yet the inscription looked as if it had been etched countless ages ago. Even more shockingly, surrounding the inscription were intricate patterns and symbols, their ancient textures and motifs speaking of eons of history and reverence. It was as though this throne had existed since antiquity, forged by countless devoted followers, and offered up to the one they deemed the supreme and almighty Godking.

Owen’s eyes narrowed. As he stared deeper into the ancient markings, he could faintly see awe-inspiring silhouettes—primordial gods battling across the vast firmament. The very heavens were being torn apart, and the cosmos seemed poised to collapse into ruin.

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Owen felt an unimaginable pressure weighing down on him.

The moment this throne emerged, the entire Divine Space around Owen trembled violently. It was as though the throne itself warped space with the sheer gravity of its divine might.

"This is a throne crafted for the Godking... Could this be related to the legendary Godking?"

Owen narrowed his eyes further, curiosity flickering within.

Judging by the surreal visions accompanying its appearance, this throne might not have been born from his crafting alone—it may have once truly existed in the river of time. And now, through his own shaping of its form, the ancient throne had resurfaced from the depths of history.

The profundity of it all exceeded any divine artifact Owen had ever encountered.

No wonder it had the potential to ascend into a true heavenly relic.

Owen’s regard for this divine artifact embryo elevated sharply. He still didn’t fully understand its origins, but now that it had manifested in his grasp—then from this day forward, it would belong to him and him alone.

Even if he continued to rise through the Godhood ranks, this throne would remain a powerful asset, aiding his ascent to the realm of Celestial Gods.

"At the very least, this throne can assist me up to the Celestial tier..."

He gently brushed his hand across the ancient surface of the throne.

"I shall name you—Heavenly Godking Throne."

The moment his voice fell, the throne beneath his fingers trembled ever so slightly, as if it had acknowledged the name and etched it into its very essence.

Now that the divine artifact embryo had taken preliminary form, Owen could begin contemplating the next step—infusing it with a god skill.

Once merged, the throne would significantly enhance the chosen god skill’s power while drastically reducing its divine point consumption.

But this decision could not be rushed. Only one god skill could ever be merged with this throne. It had to be the perfect one.

"My current Godhood rank isn’t high enough yet. I’ll wait—at the very least until I reach 3-Star Ancient God. Then I’ll decide which skill to merge."

Owen pondered quietly. That tier was not far away, and once he broke through to 3-Star Ancient God, not only would his combat strength soar, but he would likely awaken new and powerful god skills.

That would be the time to make his choice.

Of course, common god skills were unworthy of such a throne.

At minimum, it had to be a fusion god skill—and preferably an offensive one.

With that, he could transcend the limits of even the most advanced crystal core breakthroughs.

While other gods would remain bound by the caps of the 2-Star Ancient God tier, Owen would already be breaking through those shackles, becoming a terrifying force beyond their collective reach.

After all, once he advanced to 3-Star Ancient God, his crystal core alone would already outstrip the combat potential of his peers.

With a fusion god skill merged into the Heavenly Godking Throne, even a peak 3-Star Ancient God would no longer dare act arrogantly in front of him.

"Alright, let’s take a look at this Destiny Guidance."

Suppressing his growing excitement, Owen turned his gaze toward the Destiny Guidance scroll he had exchanged for a hundred points.

At this stage of the grand competition, one hundred points was nothing short of astronomical.

Many of the participating gods who had attended both events might not even have earned fifty points.

A hundred points was an untouchable figure for them—something they could only dream of.

So Owen was confident: anything that required this many points in exchange must surely offer a reward of great significance.

Without delay, he retrieved a scroll from his system space and held it in his hands.

As he slowly unfurled the parchment, the image within began to ripple and dance like water, gradually stabilizing into a clear vision.

A mountain valley.

The scene sharpened, revealing every detail etched within it.

Owen took one glance and could immediately confirm—this valley was not within his domain. However, it wasn’t too far away either.

The valley was enshrouded in ice and snow, bitter winds howling through its crags, freezing even the light in place. A crystalline frost sealed the surface of the valley in translucent, unbreakable layers.

At the very heart of the frozen landscape, a unique fluctuation emanated outward—there, a lone snow lotus bloomed.

Its petals were pure white, glowing with potent life force, undiminished by the deathly cold surrounding it.

Even amid such extreme conditions, the flower flourished in full splendor.

The white petals hungrily absorbed the abundant ice-element energy in the air—and even fragments of elemental order itself were being drawn into it.

This alone made the snow lotus astonishingly potent.

Just as Owen was about to study the location more carefully, the vision within the scroll suddenly flickered and collapsed into nothingness, vanishing like a dream.

Fortunately, Owen had already memorized the direction and features of the valley before the image had disappeared.

It was a treasure trove—one not far from his domain, perhaps only tens of thousands of meters away.

To beings like gods, that was practically walking distance.

"A White Jade Snow Lotus... and it’s developed spiritual awareness? The entire freezing of the valley must be caused by its influence."

"If I could obtain it—whether for personal use or for sale—it would bring tremendous benefits."

"So this... is the power of Destiny Guidance?"

Owen could barely contain his joy.

The White Jade Snow Lotus was an item spoken of in myth. Whether for Awakeners or gods, its effects were miraculous and immense.

If sold, it could easily fetch five million divine points or more.

But beyond its market value, Owen suspected that the valley might house even more than just this one miracle herb.

Given the environment and the snow lotus’s spiritual evolution, it was likely that the valley’s ecosystem could nurture other rare and potent materials as well.

The sooner they seized control of the area, the better.

Delays would only increase the risk of exposure—and once others learned of it, whether gods, Awakeners, or spellbeasts, none of them would let such a treasure slip through their fingers.

"I’ll send Thomas and the others to secure it immediately."

It was the only sensible choice.

After all, he had learned of the valley through the Destiny Guidance, but it wouldn’t remain a secret for long.

And with such a miraculous herb present, Owen doubted that it would be the only treasure hidden in that place.

Valleys capable of nurturing spiritual herbs of such magnitude often housed numerous other rare resources.

Securing the territory could lead to further unexpected gains.

"Even if it costs 100 points for each use... it’s absolutely worth it if it grants access to treasures like this."

Owen nodded to himself in satisfaction.

Then, his eyes turned toward the nearby illusionary realm projection.

This was the first time he had encountered something of this nature. But since it bore the hallmark of the Heavens themselves, it was undoubtedly a premium item worth looking into.

"I wonder what kind of items this will generate..."

According to its description, everything—item types, quality, quantity—would be completely random.

It was purely luck-based.

Owen glanced at the few remaining wisps of Caesar Empire’s Primal Faith he had stockpiled.

As the primal essence of an entire empire, this energy had accumulated over many years and now radiated with incredible density and purity.

If he could amass even more Primal Faith from the Caesar Empire in the future, he could benefit greatly—not just in breakthrough chances, but even in enhancing his fortune.

In fact, blessings like "finding money on the road" wouldn’t be out of the question.

But as a god, Owen couldn’t actually use Primal Faith himself.

He possessed divine points and spice points, but Primal Faith remained inaccessible to him directly.

However—his devotees, nearly all citizens of the Caesar Empire, could fully benefit from it.

And through them, the outputs of the illusionary realm could be maximized.

He could even integrate the Primal Faith into the infrastructure of his domain—imbuing his divine city with it—thus granting all of his devotees its enhancements.

After all, to him, the Primal Faith was practically free loot. He had plundered it with little resistance and could continue to do so indefinitely.

Unlike divine points, which were painfully difficult to earn, Primal Faith was something he could obtain easily and in vast amounts.

Points were a different story entirely.

Even after two rounds of divine competitions, he had barely passed a thousand.

The two resources were worlds apart in terms of accessibility.

So why not use the excess Primal Faith to accelerate his followers’ growth?

It would improve their strength—and in the long run, strengthen him as well.

Owen’s eyes gleamed as he turned back to the illusionary realm, already making mental calculations for his next move.
