Divine Enthronement Ritual!

This is the essential path to becoming a True God, the highest ritual magic of this world!

To become a True God, one must first possess strength and believers...

According to Fang Xing's view, it's just like taking a loan.

To borrow from heaven and earth to become a god, one needs collateral to prove repayment ability.

Demigod is best; if not a demigod, at least a Legend!

Of course, there are those lucky mortals who ascend to godhood in one step, but that's because their collateral value is astonishing! For example, finding a Divine Position and Divine crystal by chance, or being noticed by a big shot, directly getting a guarantor...

In short, the first step to becoming a god is to have 'strength', whether it's yours or someone willing to lend it to you.

In this regard, the Killing Life Sect Hierarch is quite commendable, as he is already a demigod and has ignited the Divine Fire!

This is equivalent to reducing a major challenge.

For a mortal to ignite the Divine Fire, they would undergo a life-and-death ordeal.

By comparison, those true god descendants born as demigods have no idea of the advantage they hold.

Killing Life Sect.

At an altar.

Believers were praying one by one.

In fact, this scene appeared everywhere in the Great Saint Dynasty.

The second condition for becoming a Divine is to have enough believers and faith!

In this respect, the Killing Life Sect Hierarch is rather clever.

Because the current Killing Life Sect is the state religion of the Great Saint Dynasty, and he is also Fang Xing's Subordinate God.

As long as Fang Xing issues a divine decree, a portion of the faith from the Killing Life Sect can be allotted to him, such as establishing an angel beside the original worship.

The framework of the Shadow Church can also be easily constructed by directly transferring people from the Killing Life Sect...

Main Altar.

Waves of Power of Faith surged like tides, causing the Killing Life Sect Hierarch's form to transform.

Within his Divine Fire, the 'Shadow' Divine Position seemed to be slowly melting, yet also seemed to be integrating with him.

Divine Fire, Divine Position, combined with Power of Faith... transformed into the purest Divine Power.

Under the influence of Divine Power, all scars and deformities on his skin vanished, turning into a Perfect body like a marble statue.

He has ascended to godhood!

This is the most vulnerable moment for a Divine, for their true form is exposed in the mortal realm, yet to enter the Divine Country, and unfamiliar with Divine abilities.

If one wishes to slay a god, this is the best opportunity!

However.

Natural Spirit Light flashed!

Fang Xing directly appeared beside the altar, arms crossed, smiling while watching everything.

The newly born Shadow God lowered his head, showing respect: "Main God!"

This is the advantage of being a Subordinate God, having a major figure in the divine faction holding the field, preventing blind ones from courting death.

Of course, in the current mortal realm, True God Saints are mostly dead, the remaining ones hide like mice.

Ordinary Yang Gods and demigods dare not attack the Great Pope of the Great Saint Dynasty.

Moreover... even if they all came together, they couldn't defeat Fang Xing.

"You should establish your Divine Country now, I'll catch a ride."

Fang Xing said with a smile.

"As you wish!"

The Shadow God nodded, in the mortal realm, daytime stars appeared!

A star of incomparable brightness rose continuously amidst the sacred hymns... then reached the horizon limit!

Boom!

In an instant, it seemed to break through a certain barrier and enter the Heavenly Court greater plane!

"A new Divine... is born!"

At this moment, all High Rank Professionals on the ground felt it.

"This damned Dusk of the Gods, Source Power Storm... is finally over."

The surviving Divine Saints almost burst into tears.

Who wants to live in the mortal realm, exposing their weakness in front of a bunch of red-eyed hunters?

Upon sensing the calm of the Source Power Storm, the first thing they want to do is return to their own Divine Country.

Heavenly Court.

In the Divine Country of the 'God of Imperial Systems and Kings'.

The land was silent.

Those magnificent buildings, endless wine, and inexhaustible food were like garbage, discarded on the ground.

When a True God dies, their Divine Country also becomes desolate.

The souls of believers relying on the Divine Country will instantly perish as well.

Even a Divine Country will slowly disintegrate, eventually turning into a meteor, falling into the prime material world.

"Indeed, it's the Ancient Gods' Divine Country, still quite resilient."

Fang Xing strolled leisurely, checking out this Divine's Treasure Vault.

The wealth contained within a Divine Country is beyond mortal imagination.

And now, Fang Xing has an ocean of the Divine System to collect.

He just took a glance and lost interest, ready to hand this task over to his Subordinate God.

"The storm dissipates, All Gods return to their positions..."

"The world order is gradually returning to peace... but there is still one problem."

Fang Xing split off a divine avatar, and with a flash, he arrived at the Eighteenth Level of Hell.

Burning Hell.

Here, as usual, it was scorching hot, and the entire Underworld resembled a massive vortex, tirelessly siphoning off the souls perishing in the main world.

"Souls have weight; hence, after death, they descend rather than ascend... Regardless of which mortal dies, their soul comes to the Underworld at the first moment."

Fang Xing reflected with some sentiment and glanced behind him.

A flash of light from the Teleportation Skill appeared, and the silhouette of Poison Hand Scholar emerged: "My lord..."

"Previously, during the regime change in the mundane world, many people died... the Underworld's performance steadily climbed."

Fang Xing said casually: "The Underworld should exist to grant souls peace, not eternal torment..."

To be honest, he wasn't fond of the Underworld setup.

If there were no souls, once a person died, it would just be like sleep, but never waking up again, without any awareness or sensation...

Even if there are souls, arriving in the Underworld has nothing to do with judgment.

A person's good and evil, judged on scales of planets or nature, what significance does it bear?

A wicked person who killed ten thousand and a virtuous one... to the Heavenly Dao, they are the same. Without fortuitous encounters after death, souls would gradually dissipate, ultimately transforming into pure energy, feeding back to the world.

Therefore, concepts like good and evil, merit... are all man-made.

Of course, when enough people believe in what is man-made, it becomes the truth.

Thus, what they call merit should more accurately be termed 'Human Merit'.

And no matter how much Human Merit there is, it brings no benefit to heaven and earth, so naturally, it won't earn any favor from heaven and earth.

"To obtain Heavenly Dao Merit, one must transcend the world, gain benefits from outside the world, enhancing the world's Origin..."

"Benefit Heaven, earn Heavenly Dao Merit; benefit people, earn Human Merit... and merit is akin to printing money, whoever issues it can spend it..."

"No amount of Human Merit can be spent in the domain of Heavenly Dao..."

Fang Xing now had brand new perspectives and insights on the Dao, Law, and merit.

"To the divine, the faith of followers is merit... it constitutes Divine Merit, so upon a follower's death, they can demand conversion of their Divine Merit, and failure by the divine to comply equates to breach of contract."

...

Poison Hand Scholar appeared confused, not fully understanding, and merely said: "Whatever my lord wishes me to do, I shall do."

"Mm, then you shall become the Death God."

A flash of light appeared in Fang Xing's hand, revealing a somewhat incomplete Divine Position crystal, which was the 'Death Divine Position'!

His Panwu Dao, or rather 'Panwu Divine Position', only required a part of the Death Law, thus after using it, the Death Divine Position had some remnants left.

At this point, he employed his Ancient God abilities to make certain modifications to the Divine Position: "This defective Death Divine Position needs a bit of renovation... well, perhaps becoming the Death God is unfeasible, but positions like 'Nether River Ferryman' or 'Yama' are not a problem."

Modifying Divine Positions!

For some powerful divinities, having a Divine Position crystal allows minor modifications, as long as the essence remains unchanged.

Not to mention, Fang Xing was now of Ancient God status.

Very quickly, under his modifications, this incomplete Death Divine Position split into three, becoming three subordinate positions within the Death divine system — 'Guide of the Nether River', 'Death Judgment', 'Gatekeeper of the Underworld'!

"From today onwards, you are the Death God of the Underworld. The Divine Country is established on the First Level of the Underworld... primarily responsible for guiding mortal souls and conducting the first round of selection; believers of gods are sent to the Divine Country, and unbelievers need not be tormented, just exiled to the depths of the Underworld to gradually perish..."

Fang Xing instructed.

With a Death God in place, the Underworld could naturally be reformed. The eighteen layers of hell can certainly remain, but the subjects of torment should be their enemies, not any unbelievers sent to hell.

"Yes, Main God!"

Poison Hand Scholar was somewhat excited, never expecting to become a divine being!

He had already gained divine attributes, ignited the Divine Fire, and became a Demigod.

Becoming a divinity was now a simple matter.

"However, the authority of the Death God is too vast, encompassing the Underworld; power must be distributed."

Snap!

Fang Xing snapped his fingers, and two souls appeared — the Black and White Dharma Kings!

They had died in the encirclement of the Shadow and God of Thieves, and afterwards, their souls naturally went to the Destruction Divine Country.

This time, upon returning to the Divine Country, Fang Xing brought them out again.

"My lord!"

The Black and White protectors hurriedly paid their respects.

"Do you wish to become the Death God?"

Fang Xing's lips curled into a smile, feeling that these Black and White protectors were practically natural Death Gods.

After all, with such a perfect setup as Black and White Impermanence, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance.

Moreover, they were his own followers and certainly deserved a bit of preferential treatment.

Elevating these two Yang God souls was a bit troublesome since neither of them were even Demigods yet.

Fortunately, Fang Xing had plenty of Divine Power now and even excess divinity, so it was nothing.

Beside him, upon hearing this, Poison Hand Scholar felt very conflicted inside.

Firstly, he was lucky to have aligned with the right person.

But he had struggled to survive, becoming a Demigod, and was now able to become the Death God.

By comparison, the Black and White Dharma Kings were deified after death, which felt like a much easier path to success...

"Mm, Poison Hand Scholar, you'll oversee 'Death Judgment'!"

"As for Black Protector, you'll be the 'Gatekeeper of the Underworld', and White Protector, you'll be the 'Guide of the Nether River'..."

Fang Xing made his decision directly.

Among the three Death divine positions, 'Death Judgment' was the most powerful, so naturally, it was assigned to Poison Hand Scholar.

And the roles of Black and White Impermanence were very suitable for the Black and White Dharma Kings!
