I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 317 Dao Power and New Rank, Lord of the Celestial Court

The power and aura of national destiny contained within the divine authority immediately began to regenerate and evolve after merging with the Celestial Court.

Although the power that ultimately evolved underwent some changes, it became a special power within the Celestial Court space.

However, its essence has not changed, and it still possesses the characteristics of national destiny and dragon energy.

Therefore, after carefully sensing it, Shouxuzi determined the essence of the dragon energy of the nation's destiny.

Furthermore, the national destiny dragon aura that envelops Paradise Island, although it appears to be centered on God.

However, in essence, it is centered around Shouxuzi.

After all, the God of today is a manifestation of divine authority controlled by Shouxuzi.

Feeling the special power that transformed the many angels on Paradise Island into a whole centered on God, Shouxuzi couldn't help but be moved.

Isn't this the power that unites all the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court into one, with it as the core?
With this in mind, Shouxuzi no longer hesitated and directly used his authority to control the power on Paradise Island, which quickly spread throughout the entire Celestial Court space.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Celestial Court space was enveloped by this power.

Moreover, this mysterious power began to erode the gods.

Faced with the encroachment of external forces, the many immortals and gods in the Celestial Court space instantly began to instinctively mobilize their power to resist.

In an instant, all the immortals, gods, and heavenly soldiers and generals in the entire Heavenly Court space suddenly burst forth with divine light, rendering the Heavenly Court space even more wondrous.

However, as soon as Shouxuzi had a thought, he used his slight control over the many immortals and gods to suppress their instinctive resistance. Instantly, that mysterious power invaded their bodies and merged with them.

"Om~!"

In an instant, the entire Celestial Court space trembled violently, and all sorts of divine authority, rules, and powers erupted, merging with that mysterious power into one.

Ultimately, it transformed into a more profound power containing various different rules and many Taoist principles.

Shouxuzi called it Dao power, meaning the power of the Great Dao cultivated by them as Daoists.

It bears a striking resemblance to the fate of a nation.

However, its essence lies in the gods of the Celestial Court and the many principles of Taoism, which are somewhat inferior to the broader concept of national destiny.

After the evolution of the Dao power was completed, it immediately fed back a vast power and a mysterious rule information to Shouxuzi, instantly connecting with the national fortune of the Heavenly Dynasty.

A new celestial being evolved within its consciousness space.

Lord of the Celestial Court

After its evolution was completed, Shouxuzi felt a jolt in his mind, and his perception and control over the Celestial Court space and the gods within it instantly increased countless times.

At this moment, he could not only freely use the various powers of the gods, but also apply them to himself at the same time, unleashing the power of the entire Celestial Court in an instant, which could definitely reach the peak of the Celestial Realm.

This is already the limit that his body can currently withstand.

If it gets any stronger, then it will be a further transformation into the immortal realm.

It is not just the accumulation and superposition of power, but more importantly, the transformation of realm, truly integrating with the rules.

However, for Shouxuzi, the increase in power was certainly something to be happy about.

But what concerned him even more was that at this moment, the various states of the gods of the Celestial Court were all reflected in his mind.

This gave him a clearer understanding of the formation and evolution of the gods.

The collective will of all beings converges, leveraging the rules of heaven and earth, drawing upon the overflowing power of these rules, and condensing and evolving divine authority.

Then, using it as the core, one can condense the body of divine faith.

In other words, the core of the gods in the Celestial Court is the divine authority they wield.

Sensing the divine authority and the celestial ranks in his mind, and thinking of the City Gods and Earth Gods appointed by the Celestial Dynasty, all of whom also possessed celestial ranks, Shouxuzi couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart. A thought arose in his mind, and he couldn't shake it off.

"Hoo~!"

However, after taking a deep breath, Shouxuzi suppressed his thoughts for the time being.

In the outside world, there are still citizens of the Papal States who have sacrificed their souls and are burning in the process, waiting for him to deal with them.

He is now the highest-ranking nobleman in the Papal States autonomous region.

If all the people of the Papal States were to die, he would likely be stripped of his title and might even be burdened with immense guilt.

Looking at the thousands of fanatical believers in the Papal States whose souls were constantly burning, Shouxuzi suddenly had an idea.

"Om~!"

In an instant, ripples spread across the sky, and the image of the Celestial Court space that had appeared before was once again reflected in the sky.

Immortal mountains and islands float in the air, shrouded in ethereal mist, with thousands of auspicious rays.
Near the core Lingxiao Palace, a paradise island radiating holy light stands.

Upon seeing this, the millions of people in the Papal States who were burning and sacrificing their souls suddenly paused slightly.

"Is that...the Paradise Island mentioned in the new Bible?"

Wasn't God killed?

"Well, even if God is killed, Paradise Island might not necessarily collapse, right?"

So, God is dead after all?

"That's not necessarily true."

"God is so great, perhaps He wasn't killed?"

Immediately, the entire Papal States were filled with discussions, and many people's acts of burning and sacrificing their souls were interrupted by this sudden change.

Only a few particularly stubborn people continue to burn their souls.

They thought, so what if Paradise Island still exists? Their God must have been killed.

These devout believers naturally wanted to sacrifice everything they had to resurrect God and pull him back from his eternal slumber.

However, what happened next made them instantly stop burning and sacrificing their souls.

From within Paradise Island, a figure clad in white robes and radiating holy light slowly emerged from the air, gazing gently upon his people.

"God?!"

"Haha, this is God."

"I knew it! How could God possibly be killed?"

"God!"

"God bless!"

The crowd first excitedly discussed the fact that God was not dead, and then they all began to pray silently.

Endless spiritual power rose up, transforming into a sky full of faith and aspiration, surging towards the celestial realm and towards God.

Sensing this power, Shouxuzi immediately activated his status as the Lord of the Celestial Court, drawing upon the power of the Celestial Realm to separate and purify the faith and will that surged into the Celestial Court's space.

As God's power grew stronger, a portion of it was also fed back into the Celestial Court space, making it more stable and expansive.

The dark space in the underworld also expanded several times in an instant, now large enough to accommodate an island.
