Chapter 214: Material Filling of the Divine Kingdom
Chapter 214: Material Filling of the Divine Kingdom
"This is the invitation to the Heavenly Kingdom!"
Standing in a space no larger than a hundred square meters, Bai Yang sighed emotionally as he looked at Rasinger, who stood motionless, having lost all concept of time.
"That was almost a failure. Relying on faith and human perception to drive the development of the world's consciousness is still a bit too risky!"
Just moments ago, if he had not actively guided the "angel" to appear and prompted Rasinger to step forward, this ritual would have been on the brink of failure.
The world's consciousness simply refused to follow his planned path, causing him to waste a significant amount of power.
"It is the world's consciousness, after all, Crown!" Alvin pointed out. "Attempting to guide it through human consciousness remains far too difficult!"
"It matters not. Regardless of the hurdles, we succeeded, did we not?" Bai Yang replied.
Although this "Divine Kingdom" had only just emerged, he could clearly sense through his Divine Power that it was indeed a genuine spatial domain forged of pure energy. Even without a master, it already possessed all the essential qualities of a Divine Kingdom.
This meant that if another demigod or Saint Level legendary existence like Luowa were to appear and place their faith in the Lord...
...they could rely on his Wish Force and the world itself to complete their own apotheosis ritual, becoming a god of Weak Divinity under the command of "Yahweh."In traditional Christian faith, this Divine Pantheon supposedly wouldn't have names for other gods, considering it was a monotheistic religion.
However, calling them angels wasn't a bad alternative. In a sense, angels were also deities. Otherwise, Lucifer wouldn't have been able to break away from them and become an Archdemon of Hell.
"Fortunately, we succeeded. The rest is just minor details!" Bai Yang said, waving his hand dismissively. "Having Heaven means having Hell, which also means having a vessel for angels and a vessel for demons... When all these elements are combined, only then do we have a complete Divine Pantheon!"
He summoned his divine fire once more. With the emergence of the Divine Kingdom, the flames had clearly grown more robust and active. This was a sign that the Divine Pantheon finally had a foundation. Although it was still far from maturity, the existence of the Divine Kingdom gave the growth of the Divine Pantheon a true direction!
"Crown, even if we completely ignore this Divine Pantheon now, the historical deduction of the divine fire combined with the soul absorption of the Divine Kingdom will allow it to genuinely grow on its own, until it reaches the level we anticipate!" Alvin remarked.
The trinity of the Divine Pantheon, divine fire, and Godhead, coupled with a church system so complete it was almost excessive, could develop autonomously.
Bai Yang had already laid down the foundation. Next, he only needed to proceed methodically, and everything would continue to progress smoothly. This held true even if this Divine Kingdom was currently less than a hundred square meters in size!
However, Bai Yang had no intention of doing just that.
He simply stood within this space, silently experiencing the sensation of shaping a Divine Realm, as if waiting for a specific opportunity.
Beneath his feet, down in the city of Rome, countless Faithful were undertaking their final journey to see off the coffin.
And this unique funeral, with its grand Ritual, Transcendent visuals, and the stairway to the Heavenly Kingdom, rapidly spread across the globe in a very short time.
The Catholic Church, already possessing immense prestige, surprisingly chose to quiet down at this moment. Their reputation was resounding enough; rather than continuing to expand right now, they needed to pause, cultivate their internal strength, and continue reinforcing their inner image!
Pope Mario was keenly aware that the Church's current Reputation rested mostly on the shoulders of its grassroots Clergy.
If these people remained as they were now—some exceptionally good and others horribly corrupt—then no matter how grand the Church's global prestige was, they would slowly lose their fundamental base within this unique narrative.
Therefore, at a time like this, he needed to calm his mind and persistently execute the rules he had previously established, continuously purging the Clergy. The parasites among the shepherds absolutely should not exist in this world!
As a result, the Church became the quietest among all the factions. They quickly faded from the News, existing only within the Discipline Groups and patrol units scattered across various regions, as well as on the battlefields where Transcendent Beings fought against the Darkness.
As the clamor surrounding the Church slowly died down, Bai Yang, who had been standing motionless with his eyes closed in rest, suddenly snapped them open!
"Alvin, how long have I been standing here?" he asked casually. His voice was slightly hoarse, yet his Spirituality felt increasingly radiant and clear.
"Crown, you have stood there for three days," Alvin answered promptly. In truth, he was quite curious about Bai Yang's actions.
Bai Yang was neither a God nor a Transcendent Being; he was merely the master of the Godhead and a wielder of Divine Power.
In essence, he transcended everything in this world. Yet, from a practical standpoint, he was just a "Mortal"—a "Mortal" who knew every Transcendent change in the world and even possessed the ability to alter everything. Bai Yang had always remained detached, alienated from the world itself. He contacted no one and appeared before no one. Like a passing traveler, he silently watched over the world.
In this sense, Alvin felt that Bai Yang resembled a true God far more than the deities of Dylan Continent. He was an observer residing at the absolute apex of the world—a Faceless Man with a bit of a twisted sense of humor, yet terrifyingly calm.
Deities had their own desires and emotions, their own subjective views of good and bad, their internal power struggles over Interests, and their personal biases. Bai Yang had none of these.
He chose benevolence because benevolence was the most universal concept, capable of drawing out far more Wish Force, not because he genuinely believed he should walk the path of a benevolent god.
Alvin could even sense that Bai Yang refrained from killing people simply because humans could provide him with greater Interests, rather than out of any moral objection to murder. He was a man whose calmness bordered on absolute apathy; in other words, he was an indifferent, calculated God Above God!
'Perhaps the selection of the Divinity of Lies wasn't an accident! It was a choice made by destiny. The Crown will eventually govern fate itself!'
This peculiar realization left Alvin in a slight daze, yet it also deepened his reverence and caution toward Bai Yang. He had thought the Crown had already reached his absolute limits, but it seemed he had an even more boundless future ahead of him.
He even began to harbor a trace of Ambition. Did this mean that he wouldn't necessarily be confined to the Divine Status of a "Godhead Spirit" for the rest of eternity?
Wasn't the Crown's immense power also his own power?
Perhaps, in the future, he too could successfully break free and take a turn sitting upon the throne of a God?
Alvin's mind surged with overwhelming emotion.
Bai Yang could naturally sense the turbulent shifts in Alvin's thoughts, but he paid them no mind. After all, the authority he now wielded was far beyond what it had been in the past.
He had no need to concern himself with Alvin's behavior. He had already obtained the key to ascending to supremacy!
The intertwining of endless Wish Force and Divine Power granted him authority that surpassed "Medium Divine Power," infinitely approaching Powerful Divine Power!
That was a unique authority capable of obliterating continents, manipulating the life and death of nature, shaping living creatures, and commanding creation itself. It was also what he had truly comprehended over these past three days.
The birth of the Catholic Church's Divine Kingdom gave Bai Yang a much more profound experience. It was the sensation of being a "Creator," providing him with an even clearer master plan for the world before him!
"Three days is just the right amount of time!" Bai Yang said with a faint smile. "Right now, the Church is silent, which means heaven and earth are quiet, and the world is at peace. This is exactly when the physical state of Matter is at its most active!"
"Alvin, do you remember what we previously discussed as the method to expand the Divine Kingdom?"
Alvin hurriedly replied, "Crown, it is to seek out new Matter and fill the Divine Kingdom with it, thereby elevating the kingdom's overall mass and quality!"
"Exactly. Then, how should the Divine Kingdom of Christianity be filled? And once it is filled, what should be done with the Souls held within The Core?"
He sounded as though he were asking Alvin, yet simultaneously muttering to himself.
The Core suddenly spoke up, "Master, the number of Souls in the experimental Underworld is nearing its saturation point. The Souls we have collected must be given a new destination!"
Bai Yang nodded gently. "I know, of course I know. This presents a perfect opportunity for a grand experiment, does it not?"
"The Divine Kingdom, as the realm of God, naturally requires its own lower realms. These people are the perfect candidates for this arrangement!"
Bai Yang was genuinely aware of the situation regarding the Souls. A significant reason for establishing the Underworld was that The Core's storage space was on the verge of bursting.
After all, although the items he stored were merely data streams, from the perspective of a higher-dimensional space, they appeared as actual "Souls."
The sheer volume of information contained within a Soul was staggeringly massive. The Core had been gathering and compiling the Souls of those who had recently died, along with those that had manifested due to the world consciousness's rewinds. Naturally, this caused its storage capacity to become severely strained.
Although he could still expand the Soul storage space by injecting more Divine Power, it remained a temporary fix rather than a permanent cure.
Therefore, Bai Yang decided to seize this opportunity to resolve the issue once and for all, while simultaneously continuing to expand the Worldview of his Divine Realm.
Shaping a Divine Pantheon was one thing, but using the material expansion of the Divine Kingdom to continue creating worlds was an entirely different matter!
The construction of the Divine Realm, the embellishment of Souls, and the subsequent harvesting of Wish Force could all be accomplished together in one fell swoop!
"Let's go, Alvin. We are taking a trip to Jupiter!"
