Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 657 The Method of Honoring the Sages and Establishing Divine Seats
"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

After Qian Gu Huang Yu finished his impassioned speech, the tens of millions of people present immediately erupted in cheers that were like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, deafening and lasting for a long time.

After the cheers lasted for about ten minutes, Qian Gu Huang Yu made a gesture of pressing down, and the scene instantly returned to silence.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Today is the founding ceremony of my Douluo Empire. To announce the establishment of the Douluo Empire, we should offer sacrifices to our ancestors."

"but--"

"Although I am the emperor of the Douluo Empire, the empire is by no means the country of my ancient family, but the country of all its people!"

"Therefore, today I will not offer sacrifices to my ancestors, but only to the sages of the past!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

As soon as Qian Gu Huang Yu finished speaking, another shout of "Long live the Emperor!" rang out, this time far more deafening than the last.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu has publicly stated many times that even after she becomes emperor, she will not be like other emperors, the people are more or less worried that those are just empty words before Qian Gu Huang Yu ascends the throne.

However, Qian Gu Huang Yu's words just now undoubtedly proved that their worries were unfounded. In a country with a long imperial system, ancestor worship can be said to be one of the most important ceremonies.

However, the Phoenix Feather of the Thousand Ages brazenly skipped this, choosing not to worship the ancestors of the Thousand Ages family during the founding ceremony, but instead worshipping the sages who promoted the transformation of Douluo Star.

Soon, Qian Renxue read out the names of those selected as sages, as ordered.

To highlight national reconciliation and the unification of Douluo Star, neither Tang San, who achieved dual godhood, nor Xu Yunhan, who unified Douluo Continent, appeared in the list of sages.

The criteria for selecting the Eternal Phoenix Feathers are very simple: only those who have contributed to the progress of human society or technology are qualified to be included in the ranks of the sages.

For example, Kong Deming, the father of modern soul tools, actually used most of the original soul tools for war purposes.

However, the innovation of soul tools driven by Kong Deming still promoted the emergence of civilian soul tools, which greatly improved the lives of the people.

In addition, there is Huo Yuhao, the cheap senior brother of Qian Gu Huang Yu, who is the number one academic fraudster and won the Nobel Prize in Science and Technology by being listed as the first author despite not doing anything.

Although the Soul Spirit technology that changed the status quo of Soul Masters was invented by Electrolux, Electrolux's name never spread throughout Douluo Star.

After Huo Yuhao's generation of Shrek Academy leaders all died, it's likely that no one on the entire Douluo Star will recognize Electrolux anymore.

Therefore, Qian Gu Huang Yu could only attribute the credit for inventing the Soul Spirit technology to Huo Yuhao.

Ultimately, throughout the tens of thousands of years of human history on Douluo Star, the Ancient Phoenix Feather selected ten people to receive this sacrifice, historically known as the 'Ten Sage Ancestors'.

Among the ten sage ancestors, none of them were ancestors of the Qian Gu family. Qian Gu Huang Yu has thus completely proven her promise to only worship the sage ancestors and not her own family ancestors.

Although both Qian Gu Die Ting and Qian Gu Dong Feng advised Qian Gu Huang Yu to at least add his own name to the list.

After all, her invention of the Soul Armor was groundbreaking, which was enough to make her stand shoulder to shoulder with Huo Yuhao.

In this way, the Qian Gu family managed to secure a position, but Qian Gu Huang Yu rejected it in a rather annoyed manner, saying, "I'm not dead."

...

In a vast, ethereal mist.

"Damn it! How could my faith power suddenly decrease by so much?" A very violent voice rang out, indicating that the owner of the voice was in a very bad mood.

As the master of a plane, Tang Hao actually has an innate advantage compared to other gods, namely, being the master of the plane.

When someone in the Douluo Continent performs a ritual to worship Heaven and Earth, their faith power is directly transmitted to Tang Hao.

Other deities, however, require a specific object of worship. For example, the worship must be of the sea god for the sea god to receive the power of faith.

However, according to the customs of Douluo Star, when worshipping the gods, heaven and earth are usually worshipped together, so Tang Hao can actually obtain a portion of the power of faith to some extent.

"Brother Hao, what's going on? The Ancient Phoenix Feather was clearly holding a ceremony to worship heaven and earth, so why didn't we receive any faith power?" Ah Yin's voice was also full of confusion.

Over the years, Tang Hao and A Yin's plans have failed one after another. A Yin even lost her incarnation, the Golden Ancient Tree, and her origin was severely damaged.

It can be said that Tang Hao and A Yin urgently need to descend to the mortal realm to provide faith power to help them recover from their injuries.

To make matters worse, the relationship between Shrek Academy and Tang Sect is deteriorating, making it impossible for them to provide much faith power.

So when they learned that Qian Gu Huang Yu was going to unify the three great empires and establish a unified dynasty, Tang Hao and A Yin even secretly helped Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Because the birth of every dynasty inevitably involves offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and even if the Phoenix Feather of the Thousand Ages is unwilling, the power of faith brought by the sacrifices to heaven and earth will be absorbed by Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

But when the coronation ceremony of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather was finally over, Tang Hao and Ah Yin sadly discovered that not only had they not received the blessing of faith power, but their original faith power had even decreased.

"Wait!" Tang Hao's eyes narrowed, and his gaze turned dangerous. "Qian Gu Huang Yu is the chosen one of destiny by the old plane's master."

"In other words, all the faith power that should have been given to us was passed on to the Lord of the old plane through the Eternal Phoenix Feather!"

Ah Yin's face instantly turned extremely ugly. "Brother Hao, wouldn't that mean the amount of faith power we can obtain in the future will become negligible?"

The reason Tang San went to such great lengths to help Tang Hao and Ah Yin become the rulers and life cores of the Douluo Plane was not only because he wanted to turn the Douluo Plane into his own backyard.

They also wanted to use this opportunity to help Tang Hao and Ah Yin harvest the power of faith from the Douluo plane to increase their strength.

Tang Hao angrily said, "The Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather has unified all human civilizations on Douluo Star. Now we will hardly be able to gain any faith from humanity!"

"And the soul beasts worship the dragon god who has long since died, so we can't obtain their faith."

Ah Yin said worriedly, "Brother Hao, the strength of the Ancient Phoenix Feather is gradually exceeding our control. Now, all of humanity's faith power has been given to the old plane's ruler, while our progress is difficult." "With this shift in power, we're probably in trouble!"

Ah Yin is now genuinely frightened, ever since Tang San helped them replace the old plane master and become the new plane master and core of life.

They have an irreconcilable feud with the ruler of the old plane, and now they are suddenly at a disadvantage. Tang San's return is still uncertain, which makes them worry.

Tang Hao said, "In a few decades, our grandson Wu Lin will be born. I believe he will definitely be able to defeat the Ancient Phoenix Feather!"

Ah Yin said with some worry, "Brother Hao is Wu Lin, he's still so young. Didn't Xiao San say before that there's another one sealed on Douluo Star..."

"No way!" Tang Hao interrupted Ah Yin without thinking, saying, "That guy is completely uncontrollable. If we really release her, she will only become a more terrifying demon than the Golden Dragon King."

"We absolutely cannot release her until the very last moment, because once she truly descends into the world, it will mean the destruction of Douluo Star."

Ah Yin was also startled by Tang Hao's reaction and asked, "Is she...is she really that terrifying?"

Tang Hao said, "That's a demonic dragon that only knows destruction, symbolizing annihilation and death. How could the Dragon God's sister be so easily dealt with?"

...

The Douluo Empire, Imperial Palace.

After the coronation ceremony, Qian Gu Huang Yu returned to the palace and changed into casual clothes. After all, it was no longer a feudal era, so there were naturally fewer rules.

Where did Huang'er go? Why hasn't she come to find me yet?

Having finally completed the most important coronation ceremony, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na naturally wanted to start a game (referring to the mobile game "Honor of Kings").
Gu Yuena had been waiting in her room for Qian Gu Huang Yu for a long time, but after waiting for a while, Qian Gu Huang Yu showed no intention of coming over, so Gu Yuena could only come out of the room with a dark face.

"Huang..." Gu Yuena gently entered Qian Gu Huang Yu's study, only to see Qian Gu Huang Yu sitting at his desk with a pen in his hand, but with his eyes closed as if he were dozing.

Gu Yuena raised her eyebrows slightly, but then a hint of understanding appeared in her amethyst-like eyes.

After roughly guessing what had happened, Gu Yuena turned around and went back to the bedroom, taking out a quilt and gently draping it over Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"Honestly, she looks so beautiful when she's quiet..."

...

A young man has arrived in the spiritual sea of ​​the ancient phoenix feathers…

No, I mean, elderly people.

What stood before Qian Gu Huang Yu was less a person and more a humanoid phantom. Her features were indistinct, and she could only be vaguely identified as a woman by her figure.

But when Qian Gu Huang Yu saw her, he felt a sense of closeness from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you the previous ruler of this plane?" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but ask.

The figure nodded slightly and said, "There's no need to be so polite with me. I should be thanking you, my child. Thanks to your help, I was able to recover to my current state."

"Help? You mean I destroyed Ah Yin's original form before?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked.

The old plane's master shook his head slightly and said, "No, it was you who unified all human civilizations and took away Tang Hao and Ah Yin's power of faith."

Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly realized that after becoming the God of Archery, she had become more and more sensitive to the power of faith.

After the coronation ceremony was completed, Qian Gu Huang Yu felt a massive amount of faith power, but she didn't expect it to be taken away from Tang Hao and A Yin.

The old master of the plane said, "You are now the ruler of the entire human society, and now the soul beasts are on the verge of extinction. Since you rule the human society, you are essentially the ruler of Douluo Star."

"In other words, most of the faith power of the entire Douluo Star will converge on you."

"And as the ruler of the plane who chose you as the chosen one, I will also receive some rewards."

"Although I am still very weak, I have at least shown signs of recovery. But you can rest assured that Tang Hao and Ah Yin no longer have the ability to devour me."

At this point, the old master of the plane couldn't help but chuckle. Given the current situation, Tang Hao and Ah Yin probably wouldn't be a match for the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, right?
Qian Gu Huang Yu said nothing about the old plane's master brazenly taking away faith power from her.

After all, if it weren't for the old plane's master's help back then, I would still be on Blue Star selling Orrunji with Doro!
Of course, there's nothing wrong with selling Aurunji, but being the emperor would give him a much wider world to explore!
The old lord of the plane continued, "The power of faith has infinite uses. Although you have now become a god, if you want to truly achieve immortality and solidify your divine position, you still need to rely on the power of faith."

"Although I haven't experienced becoming a god, I have personally witnessed so many Soul Masters ascending to godhood, so I still have a lot of relevant experience to share with you."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "But I don't plan to become a god through faith. I actually prefer to become a god through laws."

After becoming a god, Gu Yuena naturally told Qian Gu Huang Yu how to forge a godhood. Simply put, there are two ways to forge a godhood.

The first, and most common, method is to become a god through faith. All the gods born on Douluo Star used this method.

That is, one becomes a god by collecting the power of faith. The old sea god collected the power of faith of sea spirit beasts and sea spirit masters, and spent a thousand years creating the sea god's position.

The Old Angel God created the Angel Godhood by collecting the faith of the continent's Soul Masters and residents.

The second method is to become a god through the laws. This method is similar to merging with the Dao after deeply comprehending the laws. This is the method used by the old Asura God.

Becoming a god through laws is more difficult than becoming a god through faith, but the power is also greater.

The old plane lord laughed after hearing this, "Child, this must have been told to you by the Silver Dragon King. Let me think, you probably think that becoming a god through laws is more powerful, right?"

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded, the old plane master continued, "But in reality it's not like that. You can become a god through the laws, but you don't have to give up the power of faith."

"Simply put, if you become a god through faith, then the power of faith is your lifeline. Once your faith collapses, it may even affect your divine position."

"But if you become a god through the laws, then you can use the power of faith as an amplification to enhance your strength."

"Even when your divine power is insufficient, you can use the power of faith to replace it. Moreover, if you have enough power of faith, after you have a divine position, you can even create other divine positions."

"Other divine positions?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked in surprise. If divine positions were so easy to create, how could there be so few gods in the divine realm?

The old master of the plane said, "That's right. According to legend, the position of God-King that the Dragon God gave to the nine Dragon Kings was forged by him by collecting the power of faith from the Dragon God Realm and the many lower realms under his control."
