Chapter 833: – Returning to the World of Gods
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
’30 to 40 Divine Existence?’ Even Chen Heng was stunned when he realized this number.
In the past, he hadn’t been very clear about the extent of the Divine Existences in the World of Gods. However, now, he could understand it deeply.
What kind of concept were thirty to forty Divine Existences? In an ordinary Great World, it was already amazing to have one Divine Existence. Only the most elite Great World could accommodate so many Divine Existence.
Yet, even so, based on Chen Heng’s understanding, those worlds only had five or six Divine Existences at most. This was already a bit crowded. They wished they could immediately kill each other so that they could squeeze the others out.
However, there were at least thirty to forty Divine Existences in the World of Gods, which was only for those who had recovered at this moment. If taking into account those who had suffered serious injuries and were still in a deep sleep, or those who had lost their believers and were unable to return from their silence, there were probably more than fifty to sixty Divine Existences.
!!
Chen Heng’s previous estimation of the World of Gods was probably too conservative. Nevertheless, at this moment, Chen Heng could not help but feel that the world was not easy.
Even the Divine Existences were so complicated. Yet,this was good. If the number of Divine Existences in the World of Gods was insufficient, how could it satisfy his need to hire people?
In the future, the Primogenitor World should be able to nurture a batch of pretty decent Divine Existences, but that was also something in the distant future.
At least in the present, there were a bunch of them in the World of Gods. They were all used to being poor in the World of Gods. Hence it was easy to recruit good labor.
Chen Heng sighed in his heart. While he sighed, his aura was also slowly rising. When his true spirit returned, he also brought back most of the members he obtained from the Primogenitor World and began to gather the power of his main body.
The power of his main body was not weak. He had already reached the Demigod level long before he went to the Primogenitor World, only a bit away from the true Holy Realm. Now that the power from the Primogenitor World had returned, his main body’s power began to rise.
Boom!
The layer of barrier that was supposed to be unbreakable disappeared. Instead, a steady stream of energy poured into Chen Heng’s body, causing his power to rise to a higher level.
“Your Majesty?” A gentle, crisp voice of a female sounded before him.
Guluo Mary stood in confusion before the main hall, looking at Chen Heng. Several hundred years had passed in the World of Gods, and she had also changed quite a bit.
Although her appearance remained unchanged, the aura on her body had become profound and terrifying. She had reached a threshold comparable to the Sixth Rank under Chen Heng’s infinite divine power in these hundreds of years.
Nonetheless, it was not just her. The same applied to Hedosiri and Ramu. At this moment, their strength had reached the Sixth Rank, and they were only one step away from the Seventh Rank.
Chen Heng was very considerate toward these old people who had decided to follow him from the beginning. Even if they were not talented enough, they could improve in other ways. Other gods might be stingy with divine power, but Chen Heng was not like them.
In other worlds, he still had a Saint Child clone that was especially used to harvest the power of faith. However, now that so many years had passed, the power of faith in the Saint Child clone was already very strong.
Even though so many years had passed, Hedosiri and the others still looked the same owing to their powerful strength. Their bodies were strong, and their faces were young. They had followed Chen Heng all these years and helped him settle many matters. Nonetheless, they keenly felt the change at this moment.
“The aura on His majesty…” Hedosiri raised his head and immediately revealed a shocking look as if he could not react as he looked at Chen Heng, who looked normal as if nothing had happened.
Bang!
A powerful aura surged into the sky. A terrifying power that made people tremble soared into the sky and engulfed Chen Heng’s entire body. It was an eternal aura that originated from the Divine Existence. It was so powerful that it made people suffocate, unimaginably terrifying.
Hedosiri and the others’ minds could not help but become blank just by feeling the aura. Then, their thoughts stopped, and flesh and blood all over their bodies sank into a state of stagnation, unable to continue operating.
This was because they were intimidated by the Divine Existences’ aura and thus directly fell into this situation. Yet, of course, this was good for them. Therefore, Chen Heng deliberately avoided them, and there was not the slightest bit of malice in his aura. Otherwise, even the creatures in the entire Hatim Kingdom would probably suffer and be destroyed instantly.
A vast aura soared into the sky and surged towards the horizon, quickly causing a rumble. Dark clouds soon covered the surroundings, and there were thunderbolts everywhere. From the looks of it, it was as if the heavens were angry and were about to descend Thunderbolts.
However, in reality, this was only the reaction of the Divine Existences’ aura and the world’s aura. It was essentially a natural phenomenon. After all, there was no Heavenly Catastrophe in the World of Gods. If it were in a world with unique rules, the treatment would probably be different instantly and would be a Heavenly Catastrophe that would destroy the world at that time.
A huge palm swung and swept past the flashes of lightning, directly breaking the wind and rain. Then, everything returned to normal and returned to peace. The aura on Chen Heng’s body instantly dissipated, and he once again returned to calmness.
He was sitting on his throne alone at this moment. His handsome face was like a god with a smile, looking confident and charming. The aura on his body also appeared extremely deep and calm. Yet, there wasn’t anything strange about him. He was just like an ordinary mortal.
However, the people present naturally did not think so after the scene. On the contrary, seeing Chen Heng’s situation gradually calming down, Hedosiri and the others all showed joy. Then, they knelt and said loudly, “Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
After such a long time of settling down, they were no longer as ignorant as before. So, naturally, they knew what the scene before them meant. At this moment, Chen Heng was undoubtedly a true god.
Hedosiri and the others had never doubted this day. From the very beginning, they had known that Chen Heng was unusual. Chen Heng had appeared in the name of the divine blood awakened. Yet, now that they thought about it, the so-called divine blood awakened at that time was probably just an excuse to cover up his abnormality.
His Majesty Hatim’s true identity must be a revived god. Otherwise, how could the divine power given to them be explained?
They were not mortals in the past. After coming into contact with the priests of many gods, they already had a wealth of theological knowledge, so they naturally knew what divine power was. This was exclusive to gods, and only gods who had divinity were qualified to transform it. So, he had to be at least a demigod.
King Hatim had already possessed divine power before he became a Demigod. This was undoubtedly the proof of a god. Therefore, in the past, they understood King Hatim’s goal. After all, he built the huge Hatim Kingdom to recover his former strength and return to the ranks of gods.
Yet now, this rule had finally arrived. Of course, this made people happy. Hedosiri and the others were overjoyed, but they did not forget to express it.
“Please give the order to expel the priests in the country. From now on, only your Majesty’s god statue can be erected in the country! I am willing to lead people to attack the desert countries, merge the countries’ territories into the kingdom, and offer their faith to Your Majesty!”
“There are still many places unwilling to obey his majesty’s teachings. Therefore, we are willing to lead troops to subdue them!”
These words sounded before their eyes, all said by the two generals, Hedosiri and Ramu. Compared to the others, their style was more radical. After seeing the current situation, they could not wait to seize as much faith as possible in Chen Heng’s government. As for the priests in the country, they were ready to deal with them as well.
In their opinion, the great King Hatim had allowed those people to establish their beliefs in the country just to rope in the gods behind these priests and share the pressure for himself. Now that the great King Hatim had recovered his power, they were naturally useless and would go wherever it was cool.
The generals were rubbing their fists and preparing to perform meritorious deeds for the great king so that they could receive rewards. The nobles and bureaucrats led by Guluo Mary were still relatively calm at the moment, but they could not suppress the excitement on their faces.
Chen Heng sat upright above them. He was a little speechless when listening to the words of Hedosiri and the others, ‘Expel the priests? Conquer the kingdom? Seize the faith? What was all this? When did he say he was going to do this? What were these people thinking?’
Fortunately, Hedosiri and the others were the only ones who spoke. He was somewhat gratified that the group of people led by Guluo Mary did not speak. However, it was clearly too soon for him to be happy.
Very soon, Guluo Mary stepped out. Her face was solemn, but she could not stop the excitement in her tone, “Your Majesty, the food and savings in the country are enough to support the consumption of a million troops for several years. Once Your Majesty gives the order, the kingdom’s army can attack anytime!”
‘Well, so you mean the same thing.’ Chen Heng shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Unlike what Hedosiri and the others had imagined, he did not think of spreading his faith. In terms of the power of faith alone, he could have as many as he wanted.
In the Primogenitor World, the number of believers that belonged to him was also quite large. Not to mention in other worlds. Moreover, for the power of faith, Chen Heng did not rely on it as other gods did. He only used it as a supplement.
The real path he walked was still the path with authority as the main path and the path of the bloodline as the auxiliary. Although the gods’ path also occupied a part of the proportion, it was not the main body.
However, Chen Heng did not need to elaborate on this point. After all, even if he did, no one would be able to understand the difference. So, he just waved his hand, and everyone around quieted down.
Everyone, including Hedosiri, Guluo Mary, and the others, calmed down and looked excitedly at Chen Heng. Under the excited gazes of these people, Chen Heng’s expression was calm. He finally opened his mouth, “Hedosiri, Ramu…”
“Lead the army and prepare for the upcoming battle…”
“Yes.” Hearing the answer they wanted, Hedosiri and Ramu quickly nodded with excitement.
“Your Highness Guluo Mary.” After giving instructions to Hedosiri and Ramu, Chen Heng shifted his gaze to Guluo Mary, “Inform the churches in the country. I am prepared to launch a war. So, according to our agreement with them, they need to hand over enough priests to join the war.”
Chen Heng spoke calmly, “In return, I will share the territory obtained by this conquest with them according to the provisions of the missionary law and their contributions to the war.”
Hearing this, Guluo Mary was stunned. Then, looking at Chen Heng, she seemed a little puzzled, “Your Majesty, there is no need to expel them?”
In the history of the World of Gods, gods and gods had always been incompatible. Perhaps cooperation could be achieved in other aspects, but in faith, no God would allow anyone to share it, which meant that their power source would be reduced.
At this moment, the faith in the Hatim Kingdom had already been divided up by many churches after Chen Heng’s previous operation. Therefore, if Chen Heng wanted to spread the faith, he could only expel many churches in the country and establish his church under such circumstances.
This was also the operation of many gods in the past. As long as a country had an advantage, they would certainly use all kinds of forces to maintain this advantage or even directly use violence to expel the faith of other gods, only leaving themselves behind.
Guluo Mary initially thought that Chen Heng would do the same, but it did not seem to be the case, based on the current situation. She could not help but feel puzzled, but she did not get an answer from Chen Heng, so she could only quietly leave.
Unlike the doubts in her heart, many people in the hall involved with the church’s forces heaved a sigh of relief. These people were all involved with the church, or they had some kind of beneficial relationship, or they were simply priests who came from these churches but later became officials of the kingdom.
If Chen Heng decided to purge the church’s influence in the country, these people would be the first to bear the brunt and be the first to be purged. That outcome would not be too good, no matter how one thought about it.
Fortunately, looking at the appearance of King Hatim, His Majesty did not have such thoughts. This was the best thing that could happen. Many people present were rejoicing in their hearts. They almost cheered loudly for His Majesty’s long life.
Chen Heng sat quietly on the throne, watching the reactions of these people.
