Chapter 1439

Four more levels to go before the next stage!

This is also the reason Lin Yan dares to openly establish the Ten Thousand Gods Palace.

Level 7's End Flame is more than ten times stronger than Level 4's End Flame!

At this level, each upgrade multiplies combat power manyfold.

So if the Light Primordial God and the others truly dare to show themselves, they will face a Lin Yan stronger than he was a month ago.

Of course, corresponding to the growth in combat power, the evolution points Lin Yan needs to level up also multiply exponentially.

According to Lin Yan's estimate, burning one more Primordial God would at most raise the End Flame to Level 8.

To raise the End Flame to Level 9, it might require burning two Primordial Gods.

To reach Level 10, it would take more than three.

If one wishes to push the End Flame to the next stage, complete its transformation, and reach the realm equivalent to the Supreme God,

then… who knows how many would be needed.

For Lin Yan's flame form, it is indeed infinitely evolvable.

But the problem still arises.

That is, when standing atop the world's peak, further evolution faces the issue of sourcing evolution points.

Still, if one could annihilate all enemies and forever stand atop the world's peak, failing to find enough evolution points doesn't seem like a major issue.

After tallying up his gains, Lin Yan asked the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Sea several questions about the Void Lands.

"The Void Lands appeared in the age of the Ancient Gods; their origin is not fully understood by us,"

said the Goddess of Life.

Lin Yan paused, then asked: "Are there any Void Primordial Gods in the Void Lands?"

The Goddess of Life shook her head: "Apart from the occasional Void Beasts, there is nothing else. I once ventured deep into the Void Lands; the farther I went, the weaker the Heavenly Realm's laws became, until all laws vanished into pure void. I did not go too far and encountered no danger, but…"

She paused, then added: "Recently, there seemed to be some movement within the Void Lands."

As she spoke, the Goddess of Life glanced at Lin Yan.

By some feminine intuition, she instinctively felt that the Void Lands' disturbance might be connected to Lin Yan.

But upon further thought, she deemed such a possibility unlikely.

The Void Lands are extremely peculiar; she had once captured a Void Beast for study and encountered Void Law, but Void Law cannot be activated by Heavenly Realm divine power at all.

One could force it, but the effect would be abysmally weak.

Even weaker than when Ancient Gods tried to activate laws using Ancient God power.

It seemed to be an entirely different kind of power.

Of course, the Goddess of Life did not yet know that Lin Yan had already mastered this power.

Moreover, what Lin Yan mastered was not mere law, but the far more potent Void Law.

If the Goddess of Life knew, she would be utterly stunned.

"Over countless eons, the Void Lands have changed little—neither growing much nor shrinking much—and pose little threat to the Heavenly Realm, so we have allowed them to remain."

The Goddess of Life added.

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

It seemed the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Sea did not know that a Void Throne existed within the Void Lands.

Their understanding of the Void Lands might even be less than Lin Yan's.

After all, Lin Yan had mastered Void Law and understood the Void Lands at the level of fundamental law.

So Lin Yan ended this topic and turned to ask about the Dark Abyss.

The Goddess of Life said: "The Dark Abyss has existed just as long, even older than the Abyss, but the Dark Abyss has never taken major action."

Lin Yan asked: "Has there ever been war between the Dark Abyss and the Heavenly Realm?"

The Goddess of Life shook her head: "Not yet. But the Abyss occasionally fights the Dark Abyss."

Lin Yan was already aware of this.

In past ages, the Abyss sometimes failed to secure passage through the Dark Abyss.

The Dark Abyss might refuse passage, and then the Abyss and the Dark Abyss would clash.

Lin Yan asked many more questions and learned much more about the Dark Abyss.

In the following days, Lin Yan focused on integrating the Ten Thousand Gods Palace.

All deities who joined the Ten Thousand Gods Palace had completed registration and become members.

This was the first organization in the Heavenly Realm to be unified under the leadership of a Primordial God.

The influx of numerous deities made the Ten Thousand Gods Palace unmatched in prestige.

And its controller, Lin Yan, had, in the eyes of countless deities, already assumed the aura of a King of Gods.

Of course, no deity had yet spoken those four words aloud.

After all, the Heavenly Realm still had more than just Lin Yan as a Primordial God.

After joining the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, all deities' realms were now under unified management by the Ten Thousand Gods Palace.

The Ten Thousand Gods Palace collected a certain "handling fee," then distributed divine faith uniformly, promising each deity that their share would not be less than what they previously received.

Half a month after the Ten Thousand Gods Palace's founding, all deities who joined discovered their divine faith income had more than doubled.

They did not know that Lin Yan's "handling fee" was extraordinarily high—80%!

Just 10% lower than the 90% he charged when lending power to other deities.

Thus, through the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, Lin Yan effectively controlled all divine faith on the Continent of Gods.

Combined with the divine faith he previously borrowed, Lin Yan now harvested an astonishing amount of divine faith daily.

Of course, ordinary deities did not suffer losses; on the contrary, each ordinary deity's income had surged dramatically.

Every god who joined the Pantheon was immensely grateful to Lin Yan.

However, the faces of the Supreme Gods had turned extremely grim.

Supreme Gods did not need worship power at all, but the worship power they required did not come from their own realms like that of ordinary gods—it was drawn from the Laws.

But where did the worship power within the Laws come from?

Worship power could not appear out of thin air.

The source of all worship power lay in the Continent of Gods.

The reason the Supreme Gods had joined forces to reinforce the Laws of the Continent of Gods was, on one hand, to make the Continent of Gods harder to destroy.

On the other hand, it was to intercept worship power!

Think of it this way: the worship power generated by an ordinary person counts as 1 point.

Lin Yan could obtain the full 1 point of worship power.

But other gods of the Heavenly Realm could obtain less than 0.1 point.

Where did the remaining 0.9 point go?

Did it vanish into thin air?

No—that 0.9 point was intercepted by the Laws, reinforced in unison by the Supreme Gods, during its journey from the Continent of Gods to the Heavenly Realm.

Thus, over countless eons, the Nine Supreme Gods had jointly intercepted 90% of the entire Continent of Gods' worship power!

Only the remaining 10% was distributed to the other gods of the Heavenly Realm.

It was obvious that the Supreme Gods at the pinnacle of the pyramid must control the right to distribute "wealth."

In the Heavenly Realm, worship power was the greatest wealth.

Of course, the intercepted worship power was not entirely hoarded by the Supreme Gods.

The Master of the Laws could also draw a portion from the Laws themselves!

But the Supreme Gods took the lion's share.

That was why the Supreme Gods cared so little about their realms.

The Nine Supreme Gods controlled 90% of the Continent of Gods' worship power—what use did they have for realms?

But now, Lin Yan, through the Pantheon and his own Divine Core, had seized control over the distribution of the entire Continent of Gods' worship power!

With Lin Yan's Divine Core, whenever 1 point of worship power was generated, he could collect the full 1 point.

There was no longer any interception by the Laws of the Continent of Gods.

In effect, Lin Yan now controlled the purse strings of every Supreme God!

This was the most broken aspect of the Pantheon.

Of course, without Lin Yan's Divine Core, he could never have achieved this!

So, after the Pantheon's establishment for just over ten days, when the other Supreme Gods noticed the anomaly, their expressions all turned unpleasant.
