Although Jiang Mengyue is not yet a god, he cannot guarantee that using time acceleration will not affect her ascension to godhood. Therefore, he chose to accelerate the time of believers and accelerate the generation of faith power.
With Fang Xiu's involvement, Jiang Mengyue's ascension to godhood accelerated immediately. The immense power of faith acted upon her, gathering within her divine essence, almost to the point of materialization.
Fang Xiu's eyes turned one silver and one red, staring intently at Jiang Mengyue, constantly observing the changes in her divine nature.
Time ticked by, and finally! The power of faith accumulated within the divine essence underwent a qualitative change—boom!
A faint, milky-white flame formed from it.
Divine Fire!
Becoming a god involves four steps: condensing a divine essence, absorbing faith, igniting the divine fire, and finally, the tribulation of becoming a god!
Jiang Mengyue has now reached the third step: igniting the divine fire.
A look of understanding flashed in Fang Xiu's eyes. So the divine fire was conceived within the divine essence, a product born from the combination of the power of the divine essence and the power of faith.
Under his gaze, the milky-white divine fire grew increasingly intense, finally overflowing from the divine core and igniting Jiang Mengyue's body.
Jiang Mengyue was completely enveloped by the white flames, but she showed no sign of pain. Instead, her expression became even more solemn and dignified, filled with a sacred aura.
That was the divine fire transforming her, a transformation from the inside out. The first thing to transform was her body, from an immortal body to a divine body.
Not everyone is like Fang Xiu, who forged a divine body before becoming a god. Usually, a divine body is forged by divine fire.
However, Fang Xiu encountered the goddess Nuwa, who helped him skip this step.
Under the burning of the divine fire, Jiang Mengyue became like a god or a saint, seemingly shedding the last trace of her mortal body and evolving completely towards a new level of life.
Her skin was as clear and smooth as jade, without any dirt or grime, and there was a faint moonlight flowing within it; she truly deserved the description of having ice-like skin and jade-like bones.
If you smell it carefully, you can even smell a faint, refreshing fragrance that permeates the whole body.
Several hours later, the milky white divine fire slowly died down, but it didn't actually die down. Instead, it merged into Jiang Mengyue's body and began to burn her spirituality.
The physical transformation is complete; now it is time to begin the spiritual transformation.
The immense spiritual energy was gradually refined, and after the refinement, a dazzling divine power of moonlight flowed within her body—that was Jiang Mengyue's divine power.
Each god possesses different divine power, which is a manifestation of their divine status. For example, Jiang Mengyue is destined to become the Moon Goddess, hence the divine power she possesses is called Moon Essence Divine Power, also known as Moon God Divine Power, which is a unique power of the Moon Goddess.
Under the tempering of the divine fire, all the power within Jiang Mengyue's body was transformed into the divine power of the Moon God.
The final transformation is to transform the soul.
Gods have no weaknesses, whether in physical body, strength, or soul. These represent essence, energy, and spirit respectively. Only when essence, energy, and spirit are perfect and without flaws can one be a god!
The transformation of her soul became more subtle, even Fang Xiu could not see through it. He could only vaguely sense that Jiang Mengyue's temperament was changing, her humanity slowly transforming into divinity, supreme and holy, inspiring awe and making people dare not look directly at her.
Of course, this only applies to others. It has no effect on Fang Xiu. He has faced too many gods directly and has fought against most of them. He has no sense of awe towards the gods.
The sun rose in the east; it was already the second day.
Jiang Mengyue finally completed her transformation. She slowly opened her eyes, which shimmered with wisps of moonlight, her figure standing alone and detached from the world.
A powerful divine might emanated from her, sweeping across the entire Nine Provinces!
At this moment, all living beings in the entire Nine Provinces were alarmed. Feeling that majestic divine power, they were filled with awe and realized what was about to happen.
Many people were excited and exclaimed that their lives had been worthwhile, as they had actually witnessed the birth of a god.
Some old monsters hidden in sects or deep in the mountains and forests had complex expressions on their faces. Some were filled with emotion, while others were jealous. They had pursued the highest realm for their entire lives, but now others had achieved it first. The various circumstances were truly inexplicable.
Fang Xiu gazed at Jiang Mengyue, who was suspended in the heavens, and found that although her aura was as powerful as a god, it was not solid enough and was inferior to the Cloud God or the other eight gods.
That slight difference is the tempering of the divine tribulation.
The journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety. Only by passing the tribulation of becoming a god can one truly leap over the dragon gate and become an immortal, transcendent god!
Otherwise, if one fails to transcend the tribulation, years of arduous cultivation will turn to ashes.
Boom—!
A muffled, low rumble of thunder suddenly echoed from the depths of the sky, as if foreshadowing something.
The next second, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light.
At this moment, countless living beings looked up at the sky and saw that a chaotic cloud of calamity had silently appeared in the heavens.
Shaped like a giant vortex, it envelops the entire Kyushu, resembling a giant chaotic millstone slowly grinding.
Deep within that vortex, a repressive and forbidden divine tribulation was brewing.
The terrifying pressure silenced the entire Nine Provinces, suppressing it to the extreme. The terrifying calamity was so overwhelming that even a single glance could cause one to feel annihilated, both body and soul.
"This...this is the tribulation to become a god? It's so terrifying!" Countless people exclaimed in shock.
This tribulation to godhood felt to them as if it were about to destroy the entire Nine Provinces.
Such terrifying pressure caused Jiang Mengyue to frown deeply. As a tribulation seeker, she faced pressure that was more than a hundred times greater than that of the onlookers.
Even her fair, jade-like skin felt a faint stinging sensation.
She wasn't sure if she could survive the tribulation to become a god, since she had only inherited the moon goddess's divine status and had become a god by a shortcut, so her foundation was inherently weaker than that of other gods.
At this moment, she quietly turned her head and looked at Fang Xiu in the distance. Her eyes showed determination, longing, and reluctance. However, the next second, all these complicated expressions disappeared and were replaced by a smile.
A stunningly beautiful smile.
Her eyes, as clear as azure waves, brimmed with a gentle affection, and the curve of her lips was as perfect as a crescent moon, as if dispelling the gloom in the sky.
Countless people who witnessed the tribulation to godhood were captivated by the Moon Goddess's smile as she turned back.
But the Moon Goddess's smile was reserved for only one person: Fang Xiu.
"Fang Lang, if I die, you must remember me at my most beautiful," Jiang Mengyue whispered.
She knew that Fang Xiu had a way to escape the curse of the Heavenly Marriage Stone, so he wouldn't die for her, which made her very happy.
"Don't worry, with me here, you won't die," Fang Xiu said calmly, his expression remaining unchanged even in the face of such a terrifying tribulation to become a god.
Jiang Mengyue's delicate body trembled, and a look of emotion appeared in her beautiful eyes. However, she quickly seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "And Fang Lang, you must stay away from that bitch surnamed Xiao. She is no good."
