Nurturing New Gods(1)

Inside the Divine Kingdom..

The glistening and towering palaces and towers of Heaven showed upon the inhabitant spirits. People were praising the name of their Divine God inside while those of the outer realm lived comfortably in the protection of Angels and the dragon Xue who finally ascended and took the form of a Divine Dragon, whose length can encircle Earth two times. Her white scales shone upon everyone with the radiance like the sun. In turn to her divine form, the people outside the walls of the Divine Kingdom bowed to her in worship.

With the worshippers, Xue ascended and became a Dragon Deity, and blessed her followers with her strength.

Suddenly, above the skies of the Divine Kingdom, a huge light descended. "I request my followers to aid me. Believe in me, pray for me."

"That's…"

"What is that?"

"Oh holy dragon, what is that?"

Inside the Throne Hall, the five Seraphims that were sitting in their respective thrones that's eyes were closed suddenly shook and opened their eyes. They looked towards the light and knew immediately what to do. They stood up and hurriedly flew outside the hall and faced their ruling areas, "Hail to our Creator! He who created us and guided us to prosperity! He who supported our backs whatever happens, and he who accepted us even though we are of different religions!"

When the five Seraphims appeared, all the Angels and the inhabitants of the Divine Kingdom knelt and prayed.

"Oh holy God, Creator of Worlds, we offer you our prayers. We bequeath upon you our heart and soul to be forever with you."

"We are forever grateful for your presence, and we shall do whatever it takes to protect the Kingdom and creations."

"God, oh God, Creator of Creations, bless upon us your mercy. Welcome us to your divine land to forever exist with it."

"Keeper of souls, creator of all holy and unholy, we pray to you, our God."

Faith Energy gathered atop of the Divine Palace and blasted up towards the light.

On the Creation Platform, Matthias was suddenly enveloped in Faith. His body absorbed it slowly and refined it. The whole process took 15 hours. 

After the gruelling hours, Matthias laid down on the platform while still being enveloped by Faith. He absorbed it using his Divine Body and it absorbed it like a sponge. Out of instinct from the Divine Body, the Faith Energy gathered and condensed into a ball on his forehead. From the gas-like energy before, the energy inside him became that of a liquid that's three times more viscous than water.

He projected towards the Divine Kingdom, "Thank you, Everyone." He raised his hand and bathed the Divine Kingdom with more Faith Energy to nurture all of the inhabitants. In turn, all the inhabitants knelt and praised his name.

He then stood up on the platform and breathed. Unlike his usual need of oxygen, his body transformed to something that doesn't need to occasionally breathe. It instead absorbs it inside infinitely and supplies the body with enough oxygen to last up to seven years with one inhalation.

He nodded and descended on the Divine Kingdom. He changed his form to his God Form. He flew to the Throne Hall, and there, his five Seraphims awaited him.

"Greetings, Lord." They simultaneously greeted. They bowed and knelt towards him.

He nodded and walked towards the highest throne. He sat and looked below at them.

"You shall spread. Create your own religions." He spoke. "We dare not be so presumptuous, Lord." One of the Seraphims, Aluman the Pope, shook his head.

"I'm ordering you. It is for the safety of the realm. You shall be with me to defend the realm against invaders." Matthias answered and slowly explained.

"We are honored to fight beside you, Lord!" The five of them were happy and knelt with elation.

"Descend to worlds and spread your religion. This is your task. Bring with you angels if you need." Matthias nodded and vanished, returning to the Creation Platform.

He then descended to Alphan on his God Form, and looked for Yi Tiancai. 

On the Divine Continent, the First Continent created, at the peak of Mt. Yitian or also known as The Dragon Ascension Mountain, which is located in the center, where Xuan once broke through, there stood a mountain house where Yi Tiancai is currently housed with his clan.

Over the years of his stay as the first person that ascended to Alphan, and with the abundance of resources that he accumulated over the years with his family, he already reached the Divine Ascension Stage. Within his Qilin Bloodline, he discovered and comprehended the cultivation technique by the third week of his acquisition of the Bloodline.

Although his bloodline has already been fully unlocked, the cultivation technique to ascend to the next stage that the god has given him wasn't included. Therefore, when the Laws were preached throughout the land, he picked up the Laws of Fire, Divine, and Heaven to craft a cultivation technique.

He succeeded, and when he saw the signs of him breaking through, he directly made his clansmen to descend the mountain and get as far away as possible.

Tribulation Clouds gathered and the Heavenly Lightning struck towards him. He sat cross-legged at the peak of the mountain and endured the lightning. This continued for seven hundred years. 

By now, his body was so pure that even newborn babies can not match his pureness. His body was now so hard that even if he was pierced by an artifact that was strengthened by Matthias' Divine Kingdom, he wouldn't even be bruised. It will just slide off and hit something else.

By now, the storm was already so big that even the other ascendants who wanted to ambush him to eliminate a powerful opponent were scared stiff when they saw the hellishly red lightning that was striking Tiancai's body a hundred times per second. 

Tiancai was still holding on but beneath him was a red rock glistening with thunder energy. Before, this rock was dyed red in his blood. The rock was submerged for a hundred years until the lightning even evaporated the blood.
