"The hundredth candidate for God has not arrived. The Godhood Space is now closed. All candidates for Godhood will enter the Trial of Gods. They will not be able to leave the Godhood Space until the ownership of the Godhood of Light is decided!"
A male spirit shrouded in a white robe appeared in the central area of the divine space, while the ninety-nine candidates of godhood circled around him.
"The trials of the gods are divided into three: the Bridge to Rebirth through Talent, the Eternal Space through Perseverance, and the Ultimate Bloom of Slaughter. Those who pass all three trials will become possessors of divinity."
The spirit was suspended in mid-air, and above his head appeared a temple of light. When the temple appeared, it seemed that looking up at it would be a desecration of the light.
However, the Temple of Light remained suspended overhead, and the spirits gave no further instructions, allowing the Temple of Light's oppressive power to weigh down on the candidates.
People kept bowing their heads before the holy light. Gods are not to be profaned!
But there are always exceptions. The arrogance of geniuses is universal. Even as the holy light of the Temple of Light grows stronger, there are still those who look up and stare directly at the temple.
The Holy Spirit Clan's Bu Yao Zhan Shitian, the Sea Demon's Deep Blue Sea Emperor, the Fairy Clan's Heavenly Demon and Earthly Demon, the Beast Clan's True Martial Beast and Nether Phoenix, and the Human Clan's Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi, etc.
"My eyes hurt so much." Mi Tan'er was suddenly impressed when she saw that Jiang Yuan didn't look down, because she herself didn't dare to look.
Jiang Yuan remained silent. He had anticipated that Mi Tan'er and An Xiaoyu would withdraw their gazes early. The celestial bodies were both a blessing and a curse. The Heavenly Dao had granted them powerful physiques, but it had also shackled them with the bond of obedience. They dared not defy the Heavenly Dao, and the God of Light had, in a sense, transcended the battlefield and the Heavenly Dao.
"I am the God of Light."
The spirit that had been silently resting in the center suddenly spoke. It opened its arms as if welcoming something, and then murmured, "True gods do not need believers, but devout believers do need gods."
"Light shines everywhere!"
Words became law, and the entire divine space shone with unimaginable brilliance, filling every corner of the space. Here, there was no more darkness.
Under such light, people kept lowering their proud heads. Even Bu Yao, the powerful genius of the Holy Spirit Clan, could not suppress the dark attribute energy within her body and chose to close her eyes and wait for the light to fade.
One, two, the ninety-nine candidates for godhood present kept closing their eyes and using the darkness in their hearts to resist the light, otherwise if they were to be saved by the light, they would not be qualified to become the god of light.
Because gods are not born from believers.
Click! The first loser appeared. He was a genius from the Suiren clan. The Suiren clan took the pursuit of fire as their life principle, but at this moment he was assimilated by the light and became a devout believer of the God of Light.
This action has already disqualified him from becoming the God of Light.
How can a believer become a god?
"Chase them away!"
As the voice faded, the disciple of Suirenshi fell into the turbulent current. He would only be allowed to leave the divine space after the ownership of the Godhood of Light was determined. As for killing him directly, the God of Light would not take action against his own believer.
That's it?
The birth of the first believer did not frighten Jiang Yuan; on the contrary, he challenged the God of Light.
"Interesting, there's still one who hasn't bowed down!" The God of Light looked at Jiang Yuan.
"My light is simply the light I open my eyes; I need no one else's charity!" Jiang Yuan laughed, a laugh that was both arrogant and haughty.
How could he not retaliate when a dead god is challenging him, who possesses Ragnarok?
"Light, just open your eyes!"
The God of Light suddenly froze on the spot. This contradicted his beliefs. In his world, light was something that required his charity, but this weak Celestial Spirit Realm cultivator said that light was something that could be obtained simply by opening one's eyes.
"Heretic, you don't believe in the light?" The God of Light suddenly came to his senses, and his expression changed.
"I don't believe in light given by others!"
Jiang Yuan replied firmly with one sentence.
"Alright, I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform next, and see if the light in your heart is stronger or my light is stronger!"
The God of Light disappeared with a wave of his hand, but the Temple of Light in the sky shone with an even more intense light, all of which was directed at Jiang Yuan.
"You think you can intimidate me like this? You're underestimating Jiang Yuan!"
Jiang Yuan raised his eyes and smiled, his gaze fixed on the Temple of Light. His twin pupils had been activated into their life-giving state, the light flowing in his eyes, yet it did not harm him in the slightest.
"Come on, let me, Jiang Yuan, knock on the temple door!"
Jiang Yuan walked forward into the light, like a lonely traveler holding fast to his own light.
Step by step, Jiang Yuan's footsteps echoed in everyone's hearts. Most people didn't know who was walking, and they couldn't imagine who would dare to defy divine power and challenge the gods. Only a few knew who was heading towards the temple.
Thump, thump, the footsteps grew heavier and heavier, but never stopped, until the temple doors shattered open, all the light vanished rapidly, and someone entered.
"Hurry into the temple!"
The moment the oppressive aura disappeared, the remaining ninety-eight people headed straight for the temple.
"Welcome to the Bridge of Rebirth."
After speaking, the God of Light gave Jiang Yuan a peculiar look, then stepped across the Bridge of Rebirth and disappeared on the other side of the bridge.
"Strange, he didn't seem angry at my provocation!" Jiang Yuan was puzzled by the God of Light's attitude. Logically, the God of Light should have been displeased with his provocation, but the God of Light did not show any other emotion.
At this moment, more and more candidates arrived at the bridgehead, but no one dared to cross the bridge without authorization, because this so-called Ming Bridge for Rebirth had no bridge or cables.
