A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 603 The Miracle of the God-King

Every rule, every law, every energy or substance in this world will dissipate on its own and disappear into thin air. Even the laws of the King Realm, which are controlled by the God King, are no exception.

At this moment, the old tree told the Heavenly Boat God King that they, the old God Kings, had discovered a rule in the "seawater" outside that seemed to be something that would not dissipate on its own. If its eternal authenticity could be confirmed by a great miracle, then the significance it would bring to itself, the old God Kings, the true god of faith, and all the spirits of heaven and earth would be completely immeasurable.

Once this eternal rule can be utilized and infused into heaven and earth, then from then on, the great terror of self-dissipation and disappearance into thin air can be completely blocked outside the "boundary membrane," breaking the current predicament that can only increase the probability of "existence."

As for how to drive or even utilize such incredible rules, it is not a major problem for the current God-King who holds the authority of the faith of all beings. As long as it can be touched, no matter what kind of rules, laws, energy, or matter it is, it can be analyzed through the current God-King's divine power of faith, thereby completing the analysis, constraint, and utilization of various forces.

One example is extracting energy from outside the "boundary membrane," condensing it into a dark crystal, and then diluting it for use as a material for a great miracle.

The only two limitations are the consumption of faith in divine power and the degree to which one can effectively utilize this rule, law, energy, and matter based on one's own comprehensive strength.

Among these, faith in divine power is the most crucial and the foundation of everything.

But it was precisely this "foundation" that made the Heavenly Boat God King hesitate and feel troubled.

Every thousand years or so, a large amount of divine power of faith is required to perform a large-scale miracle to repair the matter and energy that have dissipated in the world and replenish the damage to the "boundary membrane" so that the orderly cycle of the world does not completely collapse. This is already a very heavy burden for the current God-King.

Analyzing a rule that even many old god-kings could not determine, and which seems to be eternal, just a little thought reveals just how enormous and astonishing the divine power of faith required to circumvent it would be.

If we were to expend a great deal of faith and divine power to perform a great miracle now, we could analyze this stone slab engraved with the peculiar patterns of "destiny".
If this is truly an eternal rule, then that would be the best outcome. But if it isn't, how many more large-scale miracles can he perform with the remaining faith, divine power, and energy, and how long can he maintain the orderly cycle of heaven and earth?

Three hundred thousand years? One hundred thousand years? Five thousand years?

Perhaps, in the next millennium, after performing a wide-ranging miracle, this Heavenly Boat God-King will perish from exhaustion in the foreseeable future, and for the living beings in this world, there will be a very high probability of suffering a terrifying catastrophe of "existence" disappearing.

If the next God-King fails to appear soon, the world they can inhabit may even face a great risk of dissipation.

The Heavenly Boat God King looked at the teachers in front of him, a bitter expression appearing on his face.

The pressure of bearing the fate of all living beings in the world on his shoulders was too heavy. Even this contemporary god-king, who had just ascended from the position of a true god, felt a strange sense of suffocation.

When the Heavenly Boat God King was still holding the "Destiny" tablet, unable to make a decision, he suddenly showed a look of astonishment and looked towards the southern continent.

There, a shimmering light rises and soars into the sky, reflecting a lake that mirrors the boundless starry sky. Within it dwells a stunningly beautiful goddess, holding a scale and a long sword at her waist, displaying her power and path to the world.

This vast and boundless phenomenon instantly covered the entire world, merging its power and path into all things, attracting the echoes of countless laws, and causing a sacred and majestic hymn to resound in the void.

She is shattering her own divine status and launching an assault on the position of God-King.

Living in this world, one being after another who had never attained the rank of a true god, upon seeing this goddess in the present world, were momentarily stunned, and then all prostrated themselves on the ground, reciting magnificent hymns of praise.

One after another, the deities of faith, possessing the rank of true gods, sensed the goddess's sudden ascension and bowed, expressing their most sincere wishes to the goddess on the southern continent who was striving to reach the rank of god-king.

The power of faith began to respond from the convergence of all things in heaven and earth. The power and path that this goddess scattered between heaven and earth allowed her to use this power with idealistic attributes to successfully forge a more powerful and "existent" rank on the shattered rank.

She succeeded; the faith of all souls crowned her with the crown of the God-King and clothed her in the robes of the God-King.

In an instant, strands of the God-King's creation scattered across the heavens and earth, expanding the entire world and creating more living space, as well as opportunities that could also help those who believed in the true God.

However, before all the spirits could cheer, outside the "boundary membrane," chaotic tides of time began to converge, carrying disordered power, and surged madly toward the newly crowned goddess queen, as if to offer her the most sincere "blessing" for her ascension.

The true gods who sensed this extremely chaotic blessing all changed their expressions drastically, using their divine power to stabilize their "existence." The newly ascended Goddess King's expression instantly shifted, sensing an immense threat. Even the Heavenly Boat God King, who held the authority over the faith of all beings, slightly lost his composure.

In the blink of an eye, the chaotic Milky Way descended, completely engulfing the goddess queen and causing her figure to disappear from the sight of all living beings.

"This is the God-King's Baptism. Gu Yuan, can she survive this calamity?"

The Heavenly Boat God King looked at the chaotic celestial river falling from outside the "boundary membrane wall," with a hint of anticipation.

He had no expectation that a true god would successfully ascend to the rank of god-king within 600,000 years, but Gu Yuan gave him a tremendous surprise. After Ning Shuo dissipated, Gu Yuan suddenly began to strive for a higher rank, and he succeeded.

If Gu Yuan can overcome this calamity, the world will have two god-kings to rule it, making it an era of two kings, which is extremely rare even in ancient history.

With a successor to inherit the authority of the faith, the margin for error will be greatly increased, regardless of the decisions he makes. Even if he expends a large amount of divine power and falls into a weakened state, there will be helpers to take over the heavy responsibility, giving him time and opportunity to recover his divine power. Heaven and earth, and all the beings living in them, will not face a terrifying catastrophe of annihilation at some point in the future due to his wrong choices.

Zhong Hao, the God-King, looked at Tianzhou, the God-King, and sighed softly, "Tianzhou, you'd better not have any unrealistic expectations. In the records of ancient history, only two people have survived this 'God-King Baptism,' and now they have both perished completely for various reasons."

He raised his chubby finger, pointing to himself, then to the old woman, then to the old tree, and then to the several old god-kings who remained silent. “When we old god-kings, including you, voluntarily shattered our true god status and leaped from the true god status to the god-king status, none of us experienced this terrifying calamity called the ‘God-King Baptism’.”

"But according to the two God-Kings who survived this 'God-King Baptism,' being in this chaotic Milky Way is not much different from leaving our world, crossing the 'boundary membrane,' and heading to the depths of the 'ocean.'"

"Tianzhou, you should understand what this means."

This means that Gu Yuan, who has just been promoted to God King, has almost zero chance of surviving this calamity.

They attained the true God through their belief in all souls, and drove the power of faith, which had an idealistic nature, into anchors that sank into the heavens and earth, stabilizing their own existence, reducing the possibility of self-collapse, and increasing the chances of their own survival.

Therefore, faith in the true God represents a kind of "order" existing between heaven and earth, and symbolizes a kind of relatively stable "rules" between heaven and earth. From its inception, faith in deities is incompatible with chaos and disorder.

For a true god to retract its "anchor" that has sunk into the heavens and earth and step out of the "boundary membrane" is tantamount to suicide, and its self-dissolution is almost inevitable.

In this situation, only by shattering one's own rank and reforging a new rank from the remnants of a true god's rank, becoming a god-king, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of faith and the divine power of faith, being able to transform one's own thoughts into the divine power of faith, and having one's own faith serve as one's own "anchor," can one make a change.

However, this only grants them the right to step outside the "boundary membrane" and move around a little in the outside world. If they go too far in and enter the completely chaotic and disordered spacetime, they will be lost.

As each "anchor" sinks into the heavens and earth, it gradually loses its connection, leaving only the "anchor" formed from one's own faith. At the same time, the chance of self-dissipation also increases dramatically, making it almost impossible to return alive to the "boundary membrane." The only two exceptions are the two god-kings who passed the baptism of the god-kings.

The Heavenly Boat God King sighed silently, a trace of sadness once again appearing in his eyes.

Breaking one's True God rank to ascend to God-King should not require any calamity. The very shattering of one's own rank is the greatest and most terrifying calamity. On average, only one in a thousand True Gods of Faith will successfully reforge a new rank from the remnants of their True God rank, thus ascending to God-King status.

According to a calculation by an old god-king, after a true god is promoted to the god-king rank, there should be blessings from beyond the heavens to enhance one's foundation.

The reality is that no god-king has ever received such a blessing, adding a solid foundation to himself before assuming the authority of the faith of all beings. Conversely, what truly exists is only a calamity that occurs with an unknown probability after a god-king's successful ascension, and which many old god-kings have named the "God-King Baptism."

As time passed, the chaotic Milky Way that had covered the Ancient Abyss God King began to surge. Flames, water splashes, green leaves, soil, spatial turbulence, fragments of ancient buildings, and tattered pages from the future flowed into the present. All sorts of incredible things were washed out of this chaotic Milky Way and scattered throughout the southern continent.

Nine years later, the chaotic celestial river that descended from the "boundary membrane" surged wildly, then abruptly vanished as if it had never existed. The extremely disordered and ferocious energy it brought directly shattered the rules of the Southern Continent, dissolving a massive sinkhole and causing a tremendous impact on the entire world.

The Ancient Abyss God-King, and all traces of her in this world, vanished.

The only good news worth mentioning is that all the mortal beings who had not yet become true gods had been transferred to the Eastern Continent before this terrifying outbreak occurred, and were not greatly affected.

The Heavenly Boat God King opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, he only asked softly in a dejected tone, "Teachers, Gu Yuan, did she dissipate on her own?"

Zhong Hao, the God-King, shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Gu Yuan may have dissipated during the God-King's baptism, but it is also possible that during the God-King's baptism, it was affected by the chaotic spacetime structure that had no rules at all, and was sent to the extreme depths outside the 'boundary membrane'."

“In ancient history, a god-king who had undergone the ‘baptism of the god-king’ disappeared into the world. It was not until more than 100,000 years later that he returned from the deepest part of the ‘ocean’ by relying on the subtle senses of the ‘anchors’ and extremely special laws.”

"The chances of survival are slim, but the probability is not zero."

In the silence, the Heavenly Boat God King gazed at the large pit that had appeared on the southern continent, issued his divine decree, coordinated the many true gods of faith, arranged a series of subsequent matters, and then turned his gaze back to the stone tablet in his hand.

After a pause, strands of faith power gathered from all things in the world, and streams of divine faith power converged from the statues of true gods. The authority of faith held by all spirits also manifested, transforming into a halo containing all things behind him, resonating with the King Realm Laws running within his body, and unleashing terrifying divine king power.

The divine power of faith, possessing an idealistic nature, emits a dazzling light that reaches the heavens. In ways that even the King of Gods can hardly comprehend, it forms a magnificent celestial phenomenon, symbolizing the collective power of all the deities who have existed in this world throughout history.

A dazzling rosy glow descended, merging with the special patterns of "destiny" engraved on the stone slab. The rules it pointed to, seemingly eternal and never-dissipating, were slowly revealed, allowing the Heavenly Boat God King to gradually understand the meaning symbolized within.

This method of analysis, this method of comprehension, completely ignores the necessary accumulation of time, completely ignores the barriers that even some King-level beings find difficult to comprehend, completely ignores the unbreakable gap between King-level beings and Supreme beings, and is frantically rushing towards the limits that the current Heavenly Boat God King can understand and bear.

This is a miracle that only the contemporary God-King, who holds the authority over the faith of all beings, is qualified to perform.

A great miracle.
