Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 457 The End! The Nature God King!
Tianjie Mountain, once the location where Douluo Star and the Abyss Dimension met, has now become a steep mountain peak tens of thousands of feet high.

Ten thousand feet, on the original Douluo Star, was a height that could truly pierce the sky, but on the current Douluo God Star, which has increased in size tenfold, it is just right, not too high and not too low. In addition, since it is the place where the God King created the world, it was called the Heavenly Realm Mountain by later generations.

What truly makes Tianjie Mountain extraordinary is that the God of Nature bestowed titles upon the gods atop this mountain!

At the summit of Tianjie Mountain, Jing Shaoyu stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him was an elm tree that radiated a divine light. It was 33 feet and 3 inches tall, with five branches on each side. Each branch had two lateral branches, and each lateral branch was covered with lush leaves. At the top of the main trunk, there were also two lateral branches, which were also covered with lush leaves. Together, they formed a crown of twenty-two clusters of leaves.

On each leaf of this mystical elm tree, there is a point of light that moves about. These points of light are of complex colors, and each one is like a living fish, moving freely and rhythmically around the elm leaf. All sorts of mysterious fluctuations emanate from them, filling the entire mountaintop with mystery and wonder.

This elm tree is a divine artifact personally crafted by Jing Shaoyu. Each point of light on it is a seed of law, a prototype of a godhood. It contains all the laws, concepts, and authority contained within his godhood, and represents all the possibilities for the birth of a god within the Douluo God Star.

In summary, this elm tree is a collection of divine positions specially created by Jing Shaoyu for the upcoming Investiture of the Gods!
For Jing Shaoyu, creating such a divine artifact is a piece of cake, after all, his current identity is the Lord of Douluo God Star, the King of the Natural God System, and a God King with the status of a creator god!
In the Natural God System and every planet and starry sky that the Natural God System can radiate, Jing Shaoyu can be called an invincible God King. Although there is only one planet, Douluo God Star, in the Natural God System at present, Jing Shaoyu believes that the Natural God System will soon usher in an explosive expansion.

The Investiture of the Gods has begun.

The first group of beings to ascend to the summit of Heavenly Mountain had the most choices and the greatest opportunities, so they were undoubtedly all people closely related to Jing Shaoyu. There were only twelve people in total: Gu Yuena, Na'er, and Yun Ming, who had already broken through to the God level; Leng Yaozhu, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Mo Hentian, Lan Fuzi, and Ya Li, who had not yet broken through to the God level; and Jing Shaoyu's two adoptive mothers, Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin.

At the same time, Jing Shaoyu released his five soul spirits and let them join him.

“Sit in a circle around the Tree of Laws, then close your eyes and meditate,” Jing Shaoyu said. “There are thousands of nascent divine positions on this Tree of Laws. As you choose them, they are also choosing you. So, just follow your hearts.”

You have a year. Let's begin.

Following Jing Shaoyu's instructions, everyone immediately sat cross-legged around the elm tree and closed their eyes to meditate.

Jing Shaoyu remained standing with his hands behind his back, his face revealing neither joy nor anger, but the occasional ripples in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil. Theoretically, all laws are limitless, but there's a gap between theory and reality. In reality, the strength of laws depends on the world, so his decision to place those closest to him in the first batch naturally stemmed from self-interest.

Currently, the cultivation limit of the Natural God System is the God King Realm, which is the cultivation level of Jing Shaoyu, and it increases as Jing Shaoyu's cultivation grows; the cultivation limit of the Douluo God Star is the God Third Realm, which is the second-level god (without a god position), and it will also increase as Jing Shaoyu's cultivation grows.

Seven days later, Gu Yuena became the first person to resonate and merge with the nascent divine position. As Jing Shaoyu had expected, the Law of Kindness was a type of conceptual god. Once the divine position was complete, one could directly ascend to the realm of God King. Therefore, in the time to come, Gu Yuena only needed to construct the nascent divine position into a divine position, and she could directly become a God King.

Following closely behind Gu Yue are Na'er and Yun Ming. Na'er obtained the Law of Evil, and Yun Ming obtained the Law of Destruction. Both of them belong to the category of concept gods. The power of such gods often increases or decreases with the number of beings in the pantheon and the development of civilization.

In the following period of time, someone would successfully resonate with and merge with the prototype of a godhood.

Leng Yaozhu obtained the Law of Fire, Xu Xiaoyan obtained the Law of Space, Ye Xinglan obtained the Law of Time, Lan Fuzi obtained the Law of Water, Jing Shaoyu's soul spirit Hong Fei obtained the Law of Wood, and his soul spirit Leng Yulai obtained the Law of Darkness.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Ice, Time, and Space – these twelve laws are the fundamental substances of the universe. They are the laws with the highest upper limit, almost on par with the universe itself. Their strength is closely related to the number of planets radiated by the pantheon.

Given the current state of matter on Douluo God Star, beings who acquire these twelve material laws will have a cultivation level between a first-level god and a god-king after achieving full godhood. As the influence of the natural pantheon grows, it is only a matter of time before they become god-kings.

Wu Siduo obtained the Yin-Yang Law, Mo Hentian obtained the Law of Order, Ya Li obtained the Law of Life, the Soul Spirit Demon Emperor obtained the Ocean Authority, the Soul Spirit Anya obtained the Sky Authority, and the Soul Spirit Poya obtained the Earth Authority.

Yin and Yang, order, and life are typical concepts of divine positions, which can lead to the attainment of a god-king.

The ocean, sky, and earth are subordinate authorities of the laws of matter. Their realm cannot surpass their superior laws, so they are currently between second-level and first-level deities.

A year passed quickly, and among the first batch of people to be conferred as gods, only Jing Shaoyu's two adoptive mothers had not yet been able to trigger the resonance of their divine positions. This was within Jing Shaoyu's expectations, after all, their talents were mediocre, or even poor. Jing Ziyuan was only at the Soul Douluo level, and Lin Xin was even weaker. She was only able to cultivate during the process of God Star sublimation and was only a Soul King at the moment. If she were not Jing Shaoyu's adoptive mothers, she would not even have reached the level of Soul King, let alone be qualified to be conferred as a god.

But there was nothing he could do; they were Jing Shaoyu's adoptive mothers. On the last day, Jing Shaoyu had no choice but to personally bestow upon Jing Ziyuan the divine position of Plant Goddess and upon Lin Xinyu the divine position of Goddess. Both of these divine positions were secondary divine positions of lower-level authority under the Law of Matter, barely qualifying as second-level gods, with very limited growth potential. Of course, Jing Shaoyu had no intention of sending his two adoptive mothers to the battlefield; bestowing divine positions upon them was merely to grant them immortality.

After the first batch of deifications was completed, the second batch of beings qualified for deification immediately ascended to the summit of Heavenly Mountain.

This group of beings is mainly composed of Limit Douluo, including powerful individuals who participated in the final battle such as Long Yeyue, Cao Dezhi, Chen Xinjie, Di Tian, ​​Bi Ji, and the Seven Old Demons, as well as some young talents whom Jing Shaoyu considers to have good potential, including Long Yue and Wu Changkong, making up a large number of them.

Ultimately, at the end of the year, over 70% of the beings in this batch had gained divine recognition. Among them, Jing Shaoyu paid particular attention to:

The Seven Old Demons undoubtedly obtained the divine positions of the Seven Deadly Sins, which belong to the lower level of authority of the evil law and are classified as first-level gods;

The six remaining ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, ​​Bi Ji, and Wan Yao Wang, obtained six of the seven virtues except for humility. The seven virtues are subordinate powers of the law of goodness, and are first-level gods.

Among the older generation, Guan Yue obtained the power of destruction under the law of destruction, Cao Dezhi obtained the power of disgust under the law of emotion, and Zang Xin obtained the power of love under the law of emotion. As first-level gods, they reaped the greatest rewards.

Among the younger generation, Long Yue obtained the Law of Earth, and Wu Changkong obtained the Law of Ice. They have the opportunity to become God Kings in the future and are the most promising in the second batch.

The third batch had the largest number of participants. All the Soul Masters who participated in the final battle were granted qualifications by Jing Shaoyu. Their cultivation level ranged from Soul Saint to Level 98 Title Douluo. Jing Shaoyu gave them three years. After three years, no matter how many people obtained godhood, the Great Conferment of Gods at the beginning of the creation of the world would end.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The summit of Heavenly Mountain returned to silence. Jing Shaoyu stood before the Divine Tree of Laws, looking at the 80% of the Law Seeds still surrounding him. He felt somewhat helpless. The Great Conferment of Gods had ended, and the Natural God System was no longer a lone commander, but the result was much worse than he had expected.

As expected, time was still too short. He sighed, waving his hand to take the Law Tree into his grasp. Divine light flowed in his eyes, and the tree body vanished with a roar. The more than eight hundred Law Seeds flew to various corners of the planet like fireflies. These Law Seeds would seek out suitable beings on their own for a long time to come, enabling them to become gods. This process would continue until the last nascent godhood transformed into a complete godhood.

After finishing this task, Jing Shaoyu turned around and looked at the gods standing in several rows below. They were the gods of the natural pantheon.

Standing at the very front are naturally the God-Kings: the Kind God-King Gu Yuena, the Evil God-King Na'er, the Destruction God-King Yun Ming, the Life God-King Ya Li, the Yin-Yang God-King Wu Siduo, and the Order God-King Mo Hentian. Of course, they currently only possess the rank of God-King, not yet the strength of God-Kings. They still need thousands to tens of thousands of years to grow, which will happen soon.

Following the six God-Kings are the God of Fire Leng Yaozhu, the God of Water Lan Fuzi, the God of Space Xu Xiaoyan, the God of Time Ye Xinglan, the God of Wood Hong Fei, the God of Darkness Leng Yulai, the God of Earth Long Yue, and the God of Ice Wu Changkong—eight Gods of the Laws of Matter. They have the potential to become God-Kings, but currently they are only at the first-level God rank, and their strength is still at the first-level God realm. They also need time to grow.

With six God-Kings and eight Material Law Gods, plus the four unclaimed substances of Golden Light, Wind, and Thunder, the Natural God System will have at least fifteen God-King level powerhouses in the future. Such strength is enough for the Natural God System to reign supreme in the edge of the universe.

Following the eight material law gods are first-level gods, second-level gods, and the most numerous third-level gods, which Jing Shaoyu cannot even recognize.

But that's alright, it doesn't hinder his rule over the natural pantheon.

"Gentlemen, the Nature Pantheon is newly established and should be striving for progress. Merely ruling one Douluo God Star is not worthy of being called a pantheon. We need to establish the order of the Nature Pantheon on more planets!" Jing Shaoyu announced.
"Interstellar exploration begins today!"

"We will obey the will of the Lord God!"

……

In the 101st year of the Natural God Calendar, the first interstellar fleet sailed out of Douluo Star and headed towards the closest inhabited planet to Douluo God Star, carrying the decree of the Natural God King and spreading the glory of the Natural God King!
