Chapter 57: Our Divine Court, Join the War!

Yuanyi World, Zhutian Square.

The square covers a vast area, spanning a full billion li in radius.

In the center of the square stands a Zhutian Gate.

Countless worlds under the jurisdiction of the Divine Court are all connected to this gate.

Today.

His Majesty the Shengling Huang has issued a decree: with the exception of those on special missions, all members of the God Race at the level of Great Luo God and above must arrive at the God Realm to attend the Gods Conference.

Furthermore.

This conference requires everyone to arrive in their true form.

Therefore, Zhutian Square is very lively today.

At every moment, hundreds of Great Luo Gods descend into the God Realm through the gate.

In this square, one can see members of the nine God King Pantheon Systems, as well as members of hundreds of smaller Pantheon Systems; at times, one can even see the Dragon Race, the Peng Race, and the Kongque.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, there are over twenty thousand Great Luo Gods.

They are the foundation the Divine Court has built over these years.

Because every member of the God Race has a chance to contemplate the Law Great Rice in the God Realm when nearing a breakthrough.

Thus, those bottlenecks that plague the gods can often be broken through in a very short time.

Consequently.

The Divine Court possesses such a large number of Great Luo Gods.

One must know that even for powerful races like the Witch and Demon, their combined Daluo Golden Immortals do not even amount to half of the God Race's.

As the time for the conference draws near, the Great Luo Gods of the All Heavens transform into streaks of Divine Light, flying together toward the Gods' Hall in the sky.

Gods' Hall.

Whenever a Great Luo God descends upon the Gods' Hall, a divine throne corresponding to their Law Great Rice appears out of thin air.

The seating arrangement of the divine thrones is based on the level of comprehension of one's own Law Great Rice; the deeper the cultivation of the law, the higher the position of the throne, and the lower the cultivation, the lower the throne.

The highest level, of course, belongs to the Supreme Gods of the Divine Court, and only after that, at the very top, is the throne of His Majesty the supreme God Emperor.

As the gods gradually take their seats, the scene begins to quiet down.

Just then, dozens of tall divine thrones appear out of thin air in the upper levels ahead, followed by flashes of golden light as the various God Kings and God Envoys take their seats.

"We pay our respects to the God Kings!"

"We pay our respects to the God Envoys!"

As the gods speak in unison, Yewenhua, Cangtian Laozu, and the others nod slightly before closing their eyes to rest.

However, the worry between Yewenhua's brows is impossible to hide.

Cangtian Laozu, sitting opposite him, glances at him and sighs helplessly.

As the time for the conference approaches, the avatar of Shengling Huang, accompanied by the Shengling Nüwang Gu Sheng'er, arrives silently at the divine throne.

"We pay our respects to His Majesty the God Emperor!"

"We pay our respects to the Queen!"

As the gods take their seats, Gu Zhangqing scans them and discovers that, except for the absence of Huangtian Laozu in the position of the Guardian Divine Envoy, everyone else is present.

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing nods slowly and smiles with satisfaction.

"Very good. It has been a long time since all the gods gathered like this. Today, besides announcing a few major events, I intend for you all to gather together more; who knows, perhaps one day there won't be another chance!"

Gu Zhangqing says with hidden meaning.

"Haha~" Gu Zhangqing's joke makes the gods laugh.

After all, who in the Honghuang does not know of the God Race's strength? Coupled with the existence of the God Court Lord, the Shengling Huang Gu Zhangqing, who would be blind enough to provoke the God Race?

Isn't that just asking for death?

Gu Zhangqing does not mind the arrogance of the gods at this moment.

He presses his hand in the air, and after the gods stop their joking, he announces solemnly.

"There are two main points for today's conference!"

Hearing this, the gods focus their attention to listen.

"First, regarding the current Witch-Demon Calamity, our God Race will participate with our entire strength!"

"Second, which is the reason for the God Race joining the Great Calamity: the main purpose is to use the Qi Luck and merit born from this Great Calamity to condense the Creation God of our God Race!"

After finishing, Gu Zhangqing looks at the gods, "Are there any questions?"

"Your Majesty, among us, who can obtain the position of Creation God?" Cangtian Laozu asks immediately.

Hearing this, Gu Zhangqing says: "Under my Divine Court, there shall be nine Creation Gods."

Seeing this, the gods look at Gu Zhangqing with anticipation.

Especially the Supreme Gods like Yewenhua and Cangtian.

This is the divine position of the Proof of Rice as a Creation God, equivalent to the existence of Hongmeng Purple Qi! They cannot help but be moved.

Gu Zhangqing does not waste words and looks directly at Cangtian Laozu, saying calmly: "Cangtian, Huangtian, and Qingtian!"

Cangtian Laozu and Qingtian Laozu are overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Your subordinate is here!"

Since Huangtian Laozu is absent, only Cangtian and Qingtian are present.

"Cangtian, Huangtian, Qingtian, you three were transformed from the spirit of the Dongfang Cangtian and have a great connection with the Heavenly Rice of the Honghuang. Since that is the case, you three may obtain the position of Creation God!"

"This subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Cangtian and Qingtian Laozu are overjoyed and bow deeply and respectfully in thanks.

Afterward, they each receive the crystal representing the position of Creation God.

The rest of the gods cast envious gazes toward him!

Following this, Gu Zhangqing could not help but look toward Star God King.

Before he had even spoken, Star God King, who had been watching Gu Zhangqing the entire time, felt great joy in his heart.

Just as he had expected, Gu Zhangqing opened his mouth and called out the name that made him incredibly excited: "Star God King!"

"Your subject is here!"

Star God King stood up almost instantly and bowed deeply.

"You have a great opportunity and great merit to perform in the future; you may become a Creation God!" Gu Zhangqing said with a profound look in his eyes.

"Your subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Although Star God King was puzzled in his heart, he still bowed in deep gratitude after receiving the crystal of the Creation God position.

Therefore, his good friend, Heavenly Dragon Great God King Zhulong, also watched with an envious expression.

However, he mostly kept his gaze fixed on Gu Zhangqing, hoping that the next name called would be his own.

At this moment, four of the nine Creation God positions had been taken, with eight remaining.

Meanwhile, Shengling Nüwang on the side maintained a calm attitude, as if she did not place too much importance on this matter.

In fact.

As early as a year ago, her Father God Yuan Yi had already handed the Creation God position to her.

Now, it was merely a formality of passing it from the left hand to the right.

"Xiao Yuan!"

"Father God, Your Majesty!" Shengling Nüwang also called out with a solemn expression.

"As the Queen of the Divine Court and the future Mother of the Shengling God Race, you enjoy the Qi Luck of all gods; you may become a Creation God!"

"Thank you, Father God!"

"Mm!" Having said that, Gu Zhangqing returned the crystal of the Creation God position to her; this had been placed with him before the meeting.

At this time.

Five of the nine Creation God positions had been taken, with four remaining!

The Supreme Gods below also began to grow anxious, their eyes involuntarily and eagerly watching Gu Zhangqing.

In fact, they did not know that among the remaining four Creation God positions, one had long been earmarked.

This was prepared by the main body of Yuan Yi for the Life Tree, Xiao Lizi, who had yet to awaken within the Yuanyi World.

Therefore, there were actually only three Creation God positions left now.

As for who these three Creation God positions should be given to, Gu Zhangqing himself did not know.

Because among the Supreme Gods present, more than ten had reached the Peak Realm of the Supreme God; choosing any of them would be acceptable, yet choosing any of them would also be unacceptable.

Furthermore.

Among the nine God Kings, besides Star God King who had already obtained a Creation God position, the other eight God Kings were all famous Creation Gods in his past life.

Thus, he did not know which of them to give the remaining three Creation God positions to.

For now, the only plan was to let them rely on their contributions to the God Race to earn them.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the gods present and then said calmly.

"The remaining God positions will be given to the Supreme Gods who make the greatest contributions to the God Race during the upcoming Great Calamity!" Having said this, he did not forget the many Great Luo Gods behind them.

Thus, he continued: "Of course, regardless of who among you advances to Supreme God later and makes huge contributions to the God Race, this seat will not be stingy!"

Once these words were spoken, most of the tens of thousands of Great Luo Gods cheered.

"We thank Your Majesty for your great grace!"

As for the other Supreme Gods, they held their breath, wishing they could immediately enter the battlefield to earn sufficiently great contributions for the God Race!

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing smiled slightly.

Afterward, he said solemnly: "Do not underestimate the Witch and Demon Clans, and do not forget that besides the Witch and Demon Clans, our God Race will also have seven Heavenly Rice Saints!"

The gods were all astonished upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, aren't there only three Saints in the Honghuang world right now? Who are the other four?" Kaluo could not help but ask.

"Could it be Yuanshi and Tongtian of the Pangu Three Pure Ones?" Cangtian Laozu asked in a deep voice.

Because, when they were at the Human Ancestral Land, he had seen that for a moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian seemed about to attain the Proof of Rice and become Saints, but they were interrupted by His Majesty the God Emperor, and they were still being kept in the Human Ancestral Land living the lives of mortals!

Thinking of this, all the Supreme Gods present could be certain.

That Yuanshi and Tongtian definitely had the potential to attain the Proof of Rice and become Saints.

Upon this, the gods suddenly felt the situation become heavy.

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing could not help but say: "You need not worry. Before they attain the Proof of Rice, with the foundation of the Yuanyi World's origin, three Creation Gods can be born immediately. Adding this seat, our God Race will have four Creation Gods; compared to the seven Saints of Honghuang, our God Race will not be far behind!"

Hearing this, Qingtian Laozu could not help but ask: "Your Majesty, Hongjun, Nuwa, and the Pangu Three Pure Ones—that makes five Saints. Then who are the other two?"
