Chapter 16: All Heavens' Will, I Am the All Heavens
A hundred years later.
After the avatar of Shengling Huang consolidated the realm of a Supreme God, he also successfully completed his fusion with the Will of the Gods.
From this moment on, the will of Shengling Huang was the Will of the Gods, and the Will of the Gods was him; the two were indistinguishable.
This situation was different from that of Hongjun, who had undergone Heda.
Hongjun is the Heavenly Rice, but the Heavenly Rice is not Hongjun.
It is evident that although Hongjun has undergone Heda, he cannot act as he pleases in the way the avatar of Shengling Huang can.
At this time, the avatar of Shengling Huang only needs to develop the Will of the Gods until it is sufficient to contend with the Heavenly Rice Will, and that will be the moment he proves the Rice as a Creation God.
Thereafter, if his Will of the Gods can replace the Honghuang Heavenly Rice Will, that will be the moment he proves the Rice to the realm of a Founder God.
A Founder God is not the same as a Creation God.
There can be many Creation Gods, but there can only be one Founder God.
As the Founder God, one must be the origin of all gods of the heavens and the Ancestor of All Gods of the Heavens.
In Gu Changqing's vision, the realm of a Founder God is equivalent to the Primordial Infinite Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Immortal Rice.
As the second sermon at Zixiao Palace passed.
As the three thousand Daluo Golden Immortals returned, it was indeed as Gu Changqing had anticipated.
Dozens of beings in the Quasi-Saint Realm were ultimately born between heaven and earth.
Whether it was due to the Heavenly Rice, the will of Pangu, or the robust Qi Luck of the Wu Clan itself, the twelve Ancestral Witches, who had always been fighting heaven and earth, actually became Hunyuan Realm Ancestral Witches at this moment.
And it was at this very moment.
Dong Wanggong and the Queen Mother of the West, acting on the decree of Hongjun Daozu, became the heads of the male and female immortals of Honghuang, respectively.
Subsequently, the two of them acted with great vigor, summoning all the immortals under heaven to jointly establish the Immortal Court.
Before long, in merely three thousand years.
They had established the Immortal Court into a respectable shape, although most within the Immortal Court were Loose Cultivators or spirit cultivators (cultivators formed from spiritual roots or spiritual treasures).
Yet, it already possessed over a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals.
For a time, ten thousand immortals came to pay homage to the Immortal Court, and its momentum was vast.
However, this move by Dong Wanggong indeed touched upon the interests of the majority of the Demon Race.
After all, the establishment of the Immortal Court and the development of various resources stood in direct opposition to many tribes of the Demon Race.
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, as the leaders of the Demon Race, harbored secret resentment toward the Immortal Court.
……
Although the grievances between the Immortal Court, the Wu Clan, and the Demon Race were great, with the third sermon imminent, everyone was restraining themselves, and no large-scale conflict erupted.
After all three thousand Purple Heaven Guests had headed to Chaos.
In the Yuanyi World.
The gods who had been watching the evolution of the Law Great Rice of the Yuanyi World for over ten thousand years.
Had basically all broken through by one or two minor realms.
Some gods who had been stuck at their peak for a long time also broke through a major realm one after another.
Among them were Yewenhua, Cangtian Laozu, and others who had been stuck at the Taiyi God level for a long time.
Compared to before entering the Yuanyi World, the strength of the gods had increased two-fold.
Today, the Innate Divine Rice possesses thirty-two Supreme Gods, nearly ten thousand Taiyi Gods, tens of millions of Taiyi Gods, and hundreds of billions of Main Gods.
Because the Yuanyi World is a Middle Thousand World centered on the Life Law Great Rice.
Therefore, the gods whose Source Law Great Rice is the Life Law progressed the fastest in strength.
For example, the Life Tree Xiaosheng, who was heavily cultivated by Shengling Huang.
At this time, she had also advanced from the realm of a Taiyi God to a Taiyi God, becoming one of the ten thousand Taiyi Gods.
And it was precisely because of her breakthrough that the more than eight thousand Innate Saint Spirits who could have been born were once again plunged into gestation.
If it were Xiaosheng at the Taiyi God level, then after these Innate Saint Spirits were born, their strength would have been at the level of Great Heavenly God innate beings.
But now that Xiaosheng has successfully broken through to the Taiyi God level.
After extending the gestation period, the strength of the Innate Saint Spirits upon birth will also start from the Main God Realm.
Such existences that are at the Main God Realm upon birth can already be called Innate Sages.
It is evident that the potential of the Holy Spirit Race is not much worse than that of the Innate Sages of the era of the gods.
……
This day, the avatar of Shengling Huang summoned the gods above the Taiyi God level in the Yuanyi World.
Above the Yuanyi World.
Inside a palace manifested by divine power.
Over ten thousand gods sat in their respective seats in order, looking up at Shengling Huang on the imperial throne, each casting looks of worship and gratitude.
Looking at these core gods of the Innate Divine Rice, Gu Changqing revealed a smile.
Having taken over the Divine Rice for millions of years, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
With this foundation, although he no longer had to worry about the threat of the Immortal Rice at every moment, the Divine Court was ultimately still inferior to the Immortal Rice; after all, they currently had no existence capable of facing a Saint head-on.
Therefore, Gu Changqing intended to make some preparations early.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look at Cangtian Laozu.
"Cangtian, afterwards, you and your three brothers shall each make a trip to the Dragon Race, the Phoenix Clan, and the Qilin."
Upon hearing this, the three of Cangtian all thought of something, and their expressions immediately turned serious.
"We understand!"
"Your Majesty, given the arrogance of the three clans, will they agree?" Yewenhua, who was to the side, could not help but ask.
"The Light Great God King is overestimating the Three Clans!"
Samuyi retorted noncommittally, "Since the Dragon-Han First Tribulation, the strength of the Three Clans has long been inferior to before. Not to mention the Dragon Race; the Heavenly Dragon Great God King knows this best."
Zhulong, standing to the side, nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Samuyi smiled and said, "The Phoenix Clan is even worse off than the Dragon Race, with only subsidiary groups like the Qingluan Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the Dark Bird Clan remaining. There probably aren't many pure-blooded phoenixes left, and who knows where they are hiding now to lick their wounds!"
"What about the Qilin?" the Creation Great God King, Brahma, asked curiously.
Because Brahma frequently fell into deep slumber, he did not know much about most matters in the Honghuang.
"The Qilin..." Samuyi pondered for a moment, then also said curiously, "The Qilin are quite mysterious. My avatar has wandered the Honghuang for many years, and I have rarely seen the existence of pure-blooded Qilin in the Honghuang. Most of those currently existing in the Honghuang are mixed-blooded Qilin, and they are all mounts for the high-level members of various major Honghuang powers."
Hearing this, Gu Zhangqing nodded slightly.
"Since that is the case, then you three, Cangtian, should prioritize heading to the East Sea and the Endless Sea. As for the Phoenix Clan... go to Fangzhang Island in the South Sea afterwards to take a look. If you do not see any phoenixes, then bring back that Innate Parasol Divine Tree."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that Fangzhang Divine Island is in the South Sea? And that there is actually an Innate Parasol Divine Tree on it?" Cangtian Laozu said in shock.
Gu Zhangqing nodded and said, "The three divine islands have never stayed fixed in one sea area, but I can sense the specific location of the Innate Parasol Divine Tree, so naturally, I know the drifting location of Fangzhang Island."
As he spoke, a flash of light passed through his hand, and a green leaf filled with the aura of life appeared in his palm.
"This is a leaf from an innate divine tree; it can help you find the specific location of the Parasol Divine Tree and Fangzhang Island."
"Your subordinate obeys!" As he spoke, he respectfully took the emerald green leaf.
Just at this moment, Gu Zhangqing's voice transmission rang out in his mind.
"There is a fated opportunity for you three brothers on Fangzhang Island; I hope you grasp it well and do not let me down."
Hearing this, Cangtian Laozu's eyes lit up, and he nodded calmly.
