I logged into the God panel.

Rumble!

Almost the instant Lu Daosheng opened his eyes.

The chaotic spiritual vortex in which they were situated began to roar, vibrate, tremble, and expand!

Ten meters, one hundred meters, one thousand meters... four thousand meters!

A chaotic vortex with a diameter of over four thousand meters enveloped him, and as he ascended, he was suspended high in the spirit realm, close to that pure white expanse above the spirit realm.

An explosive chanting began from this point.

"Gravity Imperial Power, Fallen Divinity." Lu Daosheng sat upright within, quietly comprehending the qualitative change brought about by the Gravity Crown's two temporary upgrades!

[Falling into Divinity: You wield gravity, manipulate mass, and begin to unravel the mysteries of attraction]

[In the divine sea, you can inscribe your personal name, a name that points to you.]

Lu Daosheng closed his eyes again, and through his blurred vision, he could see an immeasurable sea that blotted out the sky.

The Boundless Ocean is not composed of water; it is the fundamental rule governing the world and all things, and a theorem recognized by all life.

Lu Daosheng felt like a small boat adrift in the water, on the verge of capsizing at any moment. He had no time to ponder why the [Gravity Crown] had temporarily upgraded simply because he was in the Spirit Realm.

He looked around the sea and saw many sacred objects.

There is a blazing incantation, upon which is inscribed: "Great Sun God, you are the only light in the darkness, a blazing radiance, drawing all things, all spirits, and all natures with supreme quality!"

There are also ethereal ones, above which is inscribed: "The Supreme Emperor of Time and Space, the Absolute Master of Destiny, a great being who controls time, space, and fate!"

Similar divine names are displayed here, some clearly visible, others shrouded in mist, their details obscured.

Lu Daosheng watched all this quietly, lost in thought:

"The name of God... Is it only by reciting the name of God that believers can direct their attention to the true deity?"

After thinking for a moment, he left a line of words in this boundless sea, on top of the basic rules that constitute the operation of the world.

【O Great and First Creator, the Primordial Ruler of the City upon a Mountain, the True God who was, is, and is to come!】

The last word fell.

"It seems there's an option... to hide?" He glanced around and saw that many of the deity names were dimly lit, making it impossible to discern their contents.

Perhaps they didn't want other beings who could see the divine sea to know about it?

Lu Daosheng had a sudden thought.

The writing that had just been left behind had also disappeared.

But they truly already exist.

A moment of disorientation.

The divine sea vanished from sight.

Lu Daosheng slowly opened his eyes again.

This time, he saw the devout prayers from the spiritual realm, from this spiritual vortex suspended four thousand meters high in the sky.

…………

White Elephant Academy, top floor of the Sun Tower.

Dean He and the handsome young man looked at the fighter who was prostrate on the ground, praying with difficulty, and both shook their heads slightly.

A name of a god that has no clear direction and cannot be evoked even by chants?

Of course, it's also possible that the being he prayed to is in a deep slumber and unable to respond...

"It's pointless." The handsome young man spoke, glancing sideways at Dean He with a smile. "This little guy can't be cleaned up yet. Let him stay here for now and we can study his peculiarities?"

Dean He frowned, about to politely decline.

A soft, sacred melody echoed through the room.

That's not Zhang Youwei's voice.

This is......

Psalm.

The handsome young man's expression changed drastically, and Dean He's pupils suddenly turned into a brilliant gold!

"O great primordial creator..."

"The primordial ruler of the city atop the mountain..."

"You are the true God who was, is, and is to come!" Zhang Youwei laughed heartily and exclaimed loudly, his prayer growing ever more fervent.

The hymns that had been faintly audible in the surrounding air suddenly became more intense, as if countless people were chanting them!

"I...I saw the Lord..." Zhang Youwei had been crying uncontrollably for some time now, staring blankly at something with his head raised.

Inside the room, there was an office desk, bookshelves, antique books, a floor lamp, a clothes rack...

All things and objects began to tremble slightly with the chant!

In a daze.

Whether it was Zhang Youwei, Madam He, or the handsome young man, they all suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, sensing that something, something, was present.

A gaze is being cast down from infinity!

That hymn.

The hymns and chants that had been barely audible in the room suddenly expanded violently!

First the entire tower, then the entire White Elephant Academy, and then...

It is the entire bustling and vibrant Donghai City.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The bustling city of Donghai gradually quieted down, and people could hear the hymns and chants.

"Boom!" The tower seemed to be shaking.

Suddenly the sunlight outside the window became intense, and another hymn and chant began to rise.

"It's...the Lord!!" The handsome young man and Madam He exclaimed simultaneously.

…………

In the suburbs, halfway up a mountain, deep in a cave.

Lu Tianyang, dressed in a black robe and wearing a crow-face mask, looked at the desiccated corpse with its eyes closed on the cross.

"Lord Nostaan?" he tried to call out, but the dried corpse did not respond at all.

"Tsk..."

Lu Tianyang shook his head slightly and asked, glancing to the side:

"Any unusual activity from Death's followers?"

"Not yet, it's unclear whether other bishops or judges will be present," the congregation replied respectfully.

Lu Tianyang frowned slightly.

Bishops and inquisitors are both "Limited Ones," that is, beings of the fourth tier.

In most cases, they are already the strongest beings capable of venturing out into the world; higher-level beings rarely appear because the gods are all in slumber.

If such beings were to be out and about and be ambushed, without the protection of the gods, they would easily perish... and the loss would be far too great.

"Where is the seal we applied for?" Lu Tianyang glanced at the cross again.

"They're on their way; it'll take a little time," the follower replied, as if about to say something more.

The air suddenly churned slightly.

Faint hymns could be heard.

"Hymn!" Lu Tianyang's expression changed drastically, then he breathed a sigh of relief. The hymn was very faint, and there were no unusual phenomena around.

This indicates that no wandering spirits have descended...etc.

He seemed to realize something, and together with many of his followers, they quickly walked out of the cave, the chants and hymns still lingering in their ears.

"The hymns have covered the entire city!" a member exclaimed in surprise. "A deity has opened its eyes, briefly awakened from its slumber, and is casting its gaze upon Donghai City?!"

Lu Tianyang felt a chill run down his spine. He had never heard this hymn before. Which deity was it?

In astonishment.

The sunlight in the sky suddenly became intense, intense, and even more intense!

A second type of chant emerges.

"Sun God!" The Shadow Cult members gasped, their hair standing on end, their spiritual awareness screaming a hymn of praise to the Sun God. He had briefly opened His eyes from His slumber and was gazing upon Donghai City!

Lu Tianyang felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to crawl back into the cave to avoid the scorching sunlight, the sky suddenly darkened again.

"The moon... the moon!" A follower pointed to the sky, where an illusory moon hung high.

The third hymn then began.

"The moon goddess has opened her eyes too..." the followers murmured, their murmurs not yet finished.

The sound of waves rose from all directions, and then the ground beneath my feet seemed to tremble slightly. All the flowers and plants around me, whether withered or thriving, bloomed at the same time!

The fourth and fifth hymns began.

"The Four Great Gods... have all briefly awakened?" Lu Tianyang murmured blankly, his hands gripping the wooden staff sweating.

In the age when the gods slept, only the four righteous gods could wake up and open their eyes instantly without any preparation, but it is said that they would pay a great price.

The four gods are all watching Donghai City at this moment.

It seemed to be searching for something.

…………

Five sacred hymns and hymns intertwined and collided throughout the city, while waves, sunlight, moonlight, and vegetation grew wildly.

And then there was the first, unknown, never-before-seen hymn.

The whole city was silent amidst the hymns.

The spirit world, the sky.

The chaotic vortex, four kilometers in diameter, looks like a spot stuck in pure white. There are many such "spots" that are not particularly noticeable.

Lu Daosheng's spirit remained quietly in the center of the vortex, sitting cross-legged and gazing at Zhang Youwei.

Yet he also gazed upon the entire city of Donghai.

This was a very strange and unique perspective, but the energy expenditure seemed astonishingly high—Lu Daosheng could sense something being rapidly depleted.

But that thing doesn't seem to be in me.

He gazed at Donghai City, and naturally saw the blazing sunlight, the illusory moon, the trembling earth, and the wildly growing vegetation.

"What happened?" Lu Daosheng asked, puzzled, but he realized that he seemed to have made a mess of things.

Heaven had mercy; he simply wanted to see Zhang Youwei through the prayers and see if he could help him out of his predicament...

But it seems like they went too far.

At least, he never intended to stare at the entire Donghai City.

"Is this the power of [Falling Divinity]?" Lu Daosheng felt that he had almost absolute control over gravity, and could also manipulate mass and gravitational force.

Unfortunately, this control doesn't seem to manifest in reality; it only operates in the spirit world.

That makes sense, as the Gravity Crown only ascends to Fallen Divinity when it is in the Spirit Realm.

"What exactly is it that I consume when I gaze upon Donghai City?"

Lu Daosheng murmured to himself, using his divine sense to sense the subtle connection he felt.

And then he really saw it.

It's a tower.

It's a tall tower.

But it's not just the tall tower in the White Elephant Academy in Donghai City—it's all the tall towers that stand in White Elephant Academy in various cities!

The tens of thousands of White Elephant Academies are like tens of thousands of towers. The resources consumed when I used the Fallen Divinity came from those towers!

Lu Daosheng suddenly shuddered.

[Fallen Divinity] was originally a product of the temporary ascension of [Gravity Crown] in the special environment of the Spirit Realm.

The Gravity Crown is an upgrade from Majesty—ultimately, they both come from the tower.

Furthermore, unlike in the past, he had only come into contact with the tower, yet his majesty had increased within just a few hours...

"Did I steal something from the sun god?"
