The central hall of Holy Spirit City.
The statues of the twelve-winged angel and the Grim Reaper at the entrance have been further modified.
The former added a sword and a shield.
The latter put on a pair of deep red magical contact lenses.
At this moment, Jiang Yan was inspecting a series of resources and treasures.
Thanks to the selfless dedication of the Fire God, the Soul Crystals have reached nearly 300 million, and the Faith Power is 150 million.
That was enough, and he immediately used his divine sense to communicate with all realms.
"Receive the quest to advance to godhood."
[Verifying eligibility, please wait...]
[Detection complete. Lord Jiang Yan is now permitted to select an advanced quest.]
Please select the difficulty level: Tiny, Floating Duckweed, Flowing River, Mountains and Seas, Vast Expanse.
Please note that the higher the completion level of the mission, the larger the initial divine kingdom.
"Finally, we've reached this point again."
Jiang Yan looked nostalgic; in his previous life, it had taken him almost five years to complete it.
The simplest, lowest-level deity quest was selected.
The last primordial divine kingdom to be established was only about one zhang in circumference, with very little potential.
Forget about using it to hit people, it's too cramped even to put things in.
In this life, he will undoubtedly choose the highest difficulty level.
This is actually a gift from all realms to the lords.
Local deities all need to spend a long time using faith and various resources to refine and expand their divine kingdoms.
The realms need their lords to grow up quickly to fight against the abyss, so they can't wait that long.
"I choose the Vast-level mission."
[This is a vast-scale mission with extremely high difficulty and a very long duration. Lord Jiang Yan, are you sure about your choice?]
"confirm."
Jiang Yan answered without hesitation.
[Task selection in progress... Selection complete.]
[You have obtained the Vast-Level Divine Quest - King.]
[Mission Description: Only the most outstanding lords are worthy of the immense sacrifices made by all realms to establish a vast initial divine kingdom. You must win the championship in all three subsequent Abyss Trials to prove your worth.]
"There's no need for that."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly and took out a card that glowed with a faint purple light.
The "Perfect Mission Completion Card" allows you to complete a mission regardless of difficulty.
There's nothing to save on.
On the one hand, he didn't have time to wait that long before becoming a god.
On the one hand, given the style of the various realms, if he dared to leave this card for an overly demanding mission.
For example, things like "become the master of all realms" or "annihilate the abyss" might be changed by giving you 1,000 soul crystals as compensation, just like they did with the "God's Hand" skill.
Divine power infused, used.
The card transformed into grains of pale purple sand, dissipating into the void.
After a long while, the notification from all realms finally sounded reluctantly.
[You, in your timidity, refused the test and chose the path of shortcuts. The quest for the vast divine realm is complete, but clearly you are not a worthy ruler.]
[You have obtained the permit for divine advancement (vast level).]
A circular image, seemingly adorned with stars, appeared.
Jiang Yan took it and felt relieved. He then looked at the various realms with disdain and offered his reminder.
I still remember when the void invaded, he addressed Jiang Yan as "Lord Jiang Yan" repeatedly, always at my beck and call, showing the utmost respect.
Now that the rain has stopped and the storm has passed, they've started being sarcastic and unpleasant again.
True colors.
Take a deep breath and ignore the outside world.
Jiang Yan slowly merged his divine power with the advancement permit.
In an instant, he felt a flash before his eyes, and his consciousness appeared in a strange world.
Boundless divine power cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, pouring into the two Seeds of Law.
A gentle gold and a cold darkness burst forth from the shell.
The former is like the rising sun slowly ascending.
It is becoming more and more dazzling, more and more magnificent.
The light illuminated the entire void.
The latter is like a sinking hell.
Deep and cold.
An aura of death permeated the entire space.
Holy light and death energy clashed and fought each other until a certain point when neither side could gain an inch.
Through continuous compression, a special structure is formed.
It is like a clear mirror, and looking up, one sees a sacred place radiating light.
Looking down, one sees a land of the dead, filled with deathly aura.
One side is heaven, the other is hell.
At that moment, specks of pale purple sand surged in.
The two forces abandoned their confrontation and focused all their efforts on spreading outward into the void.
Palaces, fountains, flowers, phantom images of angels...
Ghostly fire, dead river, mountain of corpses, sea of bones...
Gradually taking shape.
The purple sandstorm's power was exhausted when it extended to nearly a thousand kilometers.
The holy light and death energy seemed to collide with an invisible barrier, unable to extend any further.
They eventually transformed into stars of varying brightness, suspended in the void above the divine realm.
Each star represents a divine power.
Everything was completely integrated into Jiang Yan's body as the world was opened.
He slowly opened his eyes.
An unprecedented surge of energy flowed through my body.
Two familiar powers of authority then awakened.
All laws retreated, leaving only the power of holy light and the law of the dead prostrate at their feet.
You have advanced to the rank of Lesser God.
Your divine positions of Holy Lord of Light and Emperor of the Dead have been activated.
[The various realms have expended enormous resources to simultaneously create two vast initial divine kingdoms for you. Please cherish this gratitude and maintain a proper attitude towards this system from now on.]
[...]
Countless prompts flashed by, but Jiang Yan didn't have time to look at them closely. He reached out and opened his divine kingdom.
An unparalleled power descended, and space opened up to both sides like a curtain.
A sacred world filled with flowers, praise, and all the beauty of the world comes into view.
With a thought, Jiang Yan's 10 million soul crystals vanished.
At the same time, a majestic mountain rose from the ground, growing until it reached a height of 100 kilometers before stopping.
Another 10 million units of faith power have vanished.
The entire mountain became solemn and sacred, surrounded by a shimmering holy light.
As you ascend the mountainside, twelve halls appear in succession.
In front of two of them stood a lifelike phantom of a six-winged angel.
Near the summit, four sacred pillars rise into the sky, protecting the central Temple of Light.
He looked down.
The world around us changed in an instant.
The boundless death aura and skeletons transformed from nothingness into reality.
The same 10 million soul crystals vanished.
The ground on one side of the Land of the Dead suddenly sank, and an endless sea of bones flowed into it.
Another 10 million deaths were invested.
These abandoned skeletons became chilling and intact, silently disappearing into nothingness.
Jiang Yan tried releasing the soul of the Starfire God and throwing it into it.
In an instant, the entire sea of bones began to boil.
Countless sharp bone spikes pierced through the void, completely penetrating the soul of the Starfire God.
"ah!"
Amidst agonizing wails, countless skeletons emerged, tearing the frozen souls to pieces and stuffing them into the eerie flames burning in their eyes.
Only after burning out completely did it contentedly vanish back into the void and disappear.
The Starfire God's soul, which had become even dimmer, re-condensed in Jiang Yan's hands.
He begged in terror, "Kill me! Kill me now!"
The pain of having one's soul torn apart and burned by eerie fire is unbearable even for gods.
Jiang Yan ignored him, tossed the soul down again, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's leave the initial renovations like this. We'll call this place the Sea of Bones Hell."
The words fell.
The deathly aura permeating the sinking area intertwined, forming four faintly visible characters.
The Sea of Bones, a hellish place.
