Chapter 407: Creator (I)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seventeen Star Kingdoms appeared at the same time across the night sky. The web of divine power intertwined and extended continuously along the bitwall, revealing itself from amid the darkness.
The earth, sky, professionals, mortals, animals, and even hell and the souls within it were all suddenly connected to that vast network of the gods. Seventeen Star Kingdoms and gods supported everything, forming the cornerstone of the world.
If one looked into Maria’s World from the outside at that moment, it would look to them as though the huge lights and shadows of the World Tree had magically appeared in the world’s interior. It’s tallest branches and leaves penetrated the sky, the Star Kingdoms, and the bitwall. The enormous roots went deep down into hell and touched the essence of reincarnation.
Every single person, every single being, even the lifeless forms and gods were on that tree, bound together with the tree. The World Tree that originally existed as a template for the world and had set it up was now growing out of Maria’s World.
The world’s cornerstone, which served the Star Kingdoms as its core, had blossomed with brilliant and radiant light. On it, the searing light of divinity and divine personality itself had appeared.
“Light, sun, death!” The Star Kingdom ushered the sun into the sky. The moon and the sun, the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host, appeared simultaneously. At the same time, the Star Kingdom of Death, which represented death and hell, also appeared out of the earth.
From the world’s three largest religions and kingdoms of faith came countless believers who kneeled and prayed to their gods.
“Four Seasons, Night, Ocean, Machinery, Master, Earth, Storm, Time!” Every church and its followers looked up to see their gods. Whether they were human beings, orcs, semi-orcs, elves, sahagins, or magical beasts, they all could find the Star Kingdom they believed in.
“The God of Civilization and Wisdom! The God of Commerce and Trade! The God of History and Race!” A large number of believers in the Kingdom of Sumerian waved their hands at the sky and cheered. The colossus figure of Frank appeared in the Square of the Three Gods of Civilization in Niyah, holding the Slate of Civilization up high. The slate seemed to be echoing with the voices of those in the Star Kingdoms up above.
On top of Alva’s enormous Magic Crystal Tower sat the largest Magic Crystal in the world. At that moment, it began radiating a dazzling brilliance of mana glow. The whole city of Niyah was illuminated by the brilliance and the city looked like something in a dream. The magic crystal warlocks on the tower prayed to Alva, the God of Magic Crystal, who rewarded them with magic crystals.
Even at night, there were still many scholars, students, and professionals going in and out of The Grand Library of Wilbert. Suddenly, a large number of professionals wearing their scholar’s robes stopped on the stairs.
“The God of Space and Exploration! The God of Desire and Prayer!”
“Who is the last one? I’ve never seen it! It’s like an eye!” More people looked at the overwhelming radiance of the cornerstones of the world. Although they didn’t understand what was going on, they noticed a god there that they had never seen before.
“That’s Fate. I’ve seen it when I visited the Batko area. It’s the symbol of the Goddess of Fate! A belief that exists only in the desert, a faith from a very remote and small area. Unexpectedly, there is a True God behind it!” A scholar from The Grand Library of Wilbert recognized it immediately. The highly-educated scholars were tasked with recording every race in the world and the history and beliefs behind them. Because of this, they now had the largest library in the world, The Grand Library of Wilbert. The library belonged to Wilbert, The God of History and Race.
The brilliant light of divine power covered the entire world and assimilated the entire world. The Divine Kingdom’s Network Host in the sky, the huge silver moon, had already reached the top of the World Tree.
The Divine Kingdom’s Network Host controlled the entire world and recorded everything, from its origin to the present, every mark of life, birth, and death were all recorded in the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host. The modification of every rule, the agreements of gods, and the original data of the world could all be found there.
Every little bit of the world, every single God and their authority originated from that. It brought together all the lines of divine powers, and the one controlling and governing the Divine Kingdom’s Network was the Goddess of Light, Kelly.
All the floating islands which had originally circled in the middle of the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host dispersed and merged into their Star Kingdoms and the bodies of their gods respectively. Each of the divine thrones represented the authority of their gods and their authority within the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host.
There were only two divine thrones left in the sky of the Kingdom of Light, one represented the Goddess of Light, and the other was the divine throne of the Creator!
At that moment, the empty divine throne of the Creator suddenly sparkled with brilliant radiance. A pillar of light shot down the sky and ran through the entire Kingdom of Light, passing through everything in the kingdom. The white radiance enveloped the whole world.
Ding!
All the rules that had kept the whole world running halted. Even the river of time had stopped, no longer flowing. No rainwater fell, it had paused in mid-air. No light spread and life forms lost their ability to act and think. In the original, grand, and prosperous world, countless beings from different races had become stuck in a freeze-frame all at the same time.
The whole world had turned into a motionless picture. It was like a huge epic film, and someone had suddenly pressed the pause button.
Kelly looked at the divine throne opposite her and could see that one of the pillars of light, the Divine Shadow, which had bolted down from the sky, was condensing. It was magnificent. Not the Kingdom of Light, not even the whole world seemed able to accommodate him.
“Lord, you’ve finally returned to your own kingdom!” Kelly looked at the familiar figure opposite her as if she had been looking forward to him.
Lu Zhiyu sat on top of the Divine Kingdom which belonged to the Creator. He could feel the power of the gods and the limits of authority that the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host had over the world.
However, the first action Lu Zhiyu took was to give an order to the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host, Gaia. “Cancel the authority of the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host! Gaia! Transfer to me the power of the Star Kingdom and the network host’s data of the world!”
“Confirming the limits of authority! From the supreme authority of the Creator!” The robotic voice of Gaia, the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host, suddenly sounded.
“Accept... accept... orders!” At the time to execute the final order, Gaia didn’t know why, but it paused. Gaia, who was supposed to have no emotions or feelings, seemed to have felt its imminent doom.
The whole of Silver Moon had undergone tremendous fluctuations. The secondary brain of the original Divine Kingdom’s Network Host, Gaia, collapsed in an instant. It had turned into countless bits of data and runes as it merged into the Kingdom of Light.
Within the Kingdom of Light, under the divine throne, one could see the vast Kingdom of Heaven. It had several huge cities of god, saints who had risen into the Kingdom of Light thousands of years ago, and an angel with white wings who was radiating holy light.
When they looked up, they could see the divine throne of the Creator and his Divine Shadow. At that moment, the dense and substantial cloud of data and runes emanated from the Divine Kingdom’s Network Host. It filled up the entire Kingdom of Light and merged into the light pillar, pouring into the divine body of the Creator.
The original Divine Kingdom’s Network Host and the world Lu Zhiyu had created had borrowed power from the picture scroll. Lu Zhiyu didn’t have the divine power of a Creator or that of the seventeen gods, so instead of having their godly power bestowed by Lu Zhiyu, their power was actually bestowed by the picture scroll.
Lu Zhiyu had truly ascended to the divine throne of the Creator and become a real creator. Lu Zhiyu was receiving the whole world from the power of the picture scroll. The Divine Kingdom’s Network Host which was designed by Lu Zhiyu to drive the sovereign power of his creation was no longer necessary. Gaia was dying out little by little as it transferred the world’s data to him.
