At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Even a third-tier superhuman could run at a speed far exceeding the 'short-distance flight' he had deliberately given them.

“Give each region seven ‘Eyes of God’.” A colorful ball of light appeared in Luo Sheng’s hand and he threw it into the sky.

The colorful light burst open, transforming into streaks of light that flew off to all corners of the world.

The Eye of God will automatically select the person with the highest spiritual level and greatest achievements in that region.

After doing all this, Los Saint left this parallel world.

……

[Clang—clang—clang—]

The bells of the Pantheon echoed in the ears of the gods at the same time.

The time for the second 'Council of Gods' has come.

The gods instantly stopped what they were doing. Actually, they didn't have much to do. Humans had solved their own problems. At most, they would just take a look, and then go about their business, drinking tea and having fun.

Ritsuki

In the antique shop, Zhongli put down the antique in his hand: "Shopkeeper, this porcelain piece comes from the Teyvat War between the gods and demons. It is 1,300 years old and is a rare and unique piece. In particular, there are very few Teyvat items in existence now, and its significance is priceless."

"However, since they are just ordinary antiques, they are worthless to those who are not interested, but they are priceless to such enthusiasts."

"The value of this item varies from person to person."

"As expected of Mr. Zhongli, the most learned and knowledgeable master in Liyue, thank you so much." The antique shopkeeper's face was beaming with joy, and he quickly presented a vermilion box with both hands: "This is a small gift from Mr. Zhongli for his appraisal. It is just a common item, please don't refuse it."

"Then thank you, shopkeeper." Zhong Li took the box, which made a rattling sound as it clattered. He nodded and said, "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

"Take care, Mr. Zhongli!"

After Zhongli left the antique shop, he disappeared into the crowd and reappeared in the immortal cave of 'Phobos'.

At this moment, all the gods of Liyue were already here waiting for him.

This 'immortal abode' was created by himself. It is not large, only the size of a small province in Xia Kingdom. It can be considered a 'small world created by the gods'.

This small world is a place specifically for the Martian gods and immortals to communicate and gather. It can also be called a 'divine court'. The gods and immortals discuss important matters on Mars here, rather than making decisions on their own as the 'Lord of Mars'.

Currently, there are two civilizations on Mars, Liyue and Sumeru. Liyue is stronger in high-end military power, while Sumeru is much weaker. However, Sumeru's god of wisdom has a special status, so they cannot be generalized.

Those who come here are all gods who ascended to the throne after hearing the bells of the 'Pantheon'.

Liyue is the country with the most gods ascending to the throne in the past sixty years.

The True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind, the True Lord of Managing Water and Building Mountains, the True Lord of Carving the Moon and Constructing the Sun, the True Lord of Singing of Dust and Waves, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, and the Half-Human, Half-Immortal Gan Yu.

They are all currently at the first level of godhood, with the one closest to the second level being the Great Demon-Slaying Sage Xiao.

"Your Majesty." The immortals bowed slightly to Zhongli.

“Zhongli, the bells of the Pantheon have rung. It seems that Lord Tianli’s awakening does indeed indicate that something important is about to happen,” said the Dragon King Ruotu solemnly.

"I don't know if it will be a good thing or a bad thing, but I think it shouldn't be a bad thing," Maxius said with a serious expression.

"Based on the situation at the last 'Conference of the Gods,' there should be some kind of reward for the gods, and there may also be some punishment for the gods who made mistakes."

"Our Liyue has always been a peaceful and prosperous country, and the people of Liyue have not made any major mistakes, so they shouldn't criticize us."

Before Zhongli could speak, the aura of a top-tier main god appeared, carrying with it the aura of a ninth-tier transcendent being.

A child-like deity appeared before the immortals, his soft voice carrying a hint of majesty.

"Don't overinterpret it; the council of gods doesn't mean anything bad will happen."

"Greetings, Lord of Sumeru," the immortals said respectfully to the deity who appeared before them.

After speaking, the immortals turned their gaze to the figure behind Naxida, who was wearing a helmet of tigers and wolves and holding a red sand staff.

"With the complete legacy of Hermanubis, Sumeru will soon have a second god ascending to the throne. Congratulations in advance, God of Wisdom." Zhongli nodded with his hands behind his back.

He knew almost everything about what happened on Mars. There weren't many people in Sumeru with the potential to become gods. Among them, the two who obtained the power of the Demon God were one of them. It seemed that one of them had given up the power of the Demon God, which made the other's path to godhood much smoother.

Seno looked at the Liyue gods with complex expressions and bowed slightly to them to show his respect.

Fifty years ago, he and Cethos underwent the 'Baling' of the demon god Hermanubis. Cethos voluntarily relinquished his 'demonic power' in exchange for Cethos gaining complete 'divine authority'.

However, at that time he was only at the sixth level, and he could not use the divine power that had condensed into a rule crystal.

In order not to disappoint everyone's expectations, he went through a lot in the past sixty years, successfully liberated a trace of the rules and advanced to the seventh level. Afterwards, with the help of Lady Naxida, he spent thirty years constructing the 'God Core'.

With the 'Divine Core', all divine powers are unleashed, allowing one to directly advance to the ninth rank, while Cethos is currently only at the late fifth rank.

If Sethus hadn't chosen 'Baling', then both of them would probably be at the sixth rank now.

"What good luck, Seno." Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded approvingly at Seno.

"After a few more decades of consolidation, we will be able to launch an assault on the throne."

The immortals nodded in agreement. Although they believed that Cyno's luck played a major role, their own efforts were also considerable.

"Let's skip the unnecessary words and head straight to the Pantheon. It would be disrespectful to keep the other gods waiting," Zhongli said.

“That’s true. Although we are both God-Kings, we will inevitably be criticized by the other God-Kings if we neglect this matter.” King Ruo Tuo said with his arms crossed. He hated being gossiped about by the Four Shadows the most, and his veins would bulge when he heard them talking about it.

What are the Four Shadows? Our Dragon King is no less capable than you.

Teyvat has been in your hands for thousands of years and hasn't developed much, but Mars has developed into such a prosperous place in his and Zhongli's hands in just a few decades.

As soon as the words were spoken, all the gods vanished from their spots at the same time.

When they reappear, they are already at the entrance of the Pantheon, and they can also appear directly on the 'throne'.

However, this is slightly disrespectful to the other gods in the 'Pantheon'.

After all, everyone tacitly agrees to use the main entrance, so what's the meaning of you showing up directly on the throne? Do you think you're superior to us or something? Do you think you're the Tree King or the Goddess of the Underworld?

"Oh my, it's been a long time, Your Majesty Morax," came a voice with a hint of flattery.

The Martian gods twitched their lips slightly; they knew who it was without even having to guess.

When they ascended to godhood, this guy personally came over to present them with congratulatory gifts and had a long chat with them.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and since they don't dislike this person, and are even quite happy to be flattered by them, the gods will give them face to some extent.

"Greetings, Your Majesties. I feel a pang of regret that none of you have visited Hell in these past few decades. May I host you all after the meeting?" Beelzebub, dressed in a black and white tailcoat, removed his top hat and bowed to the Martian gods.

"You're too kind, Beelzebub. Your strength has improved considerably, and it won't be long before you ascend to the throne of the chief god." Zhongli nodded.

"This is all thanks to the increasing evil energy of Hell over the years, as well as many opportunities, which allowed me to reach the fifth level of godhood in just a few decades," Beelzebub said with emotion.

These past few decades have been thanks to that sinner named 'Marisbury', who not only pushed him from the first rank of godhood to the fifth rank, but also raised the overall rank of the demons in hell by one rank, and multiplied the number of demons several times over.

He is now able to undergo the 'Avatar Rule' to advance to 'True God'.

However, he is a demon king with ideals. He wants to challenge himself to advance to the sixth level of godhood, polish his god core to perfection, and bypass the true god level to directly ascend to the throne of the main god when he undergoes the transformation of the rules.

Most gods reach their limit at the fifth level of godhood, but he felt he had the potential; after all, he was the first demon king of hell.

"Hey Beelzebub, have you finished all those wines you've been hoarding?"

A gust of wind blew behind Beelzebub, and a hand wrapped around his shoulder as a green figure appeared.

"Oh my, my dear brother, the Wind God! All the wine I've treasured is for you. It's been ten years since you and I had a good drink together." Beelzebub's expression changed instantly to a fawning one.

"Haha, I've been wandering around the outer solar system lately. I'm just looking for a few more unclaimed planets. When we get back, let's drink until we drop," Wendy said with a grin.

He was also thinking about the people of Mondstadt.

There are now over a billion Mondstadt people, and the moon is not enough to live on. Many Mondstadt people have even emigrated to other countries.

He now regrets refusing the offer of a planet from Lord Tianli.

He oversimplified things at the time, thinking that no matter how many Mondstadt people there were, they wouldn't be that many, at most a hundred million, which was several times the total number of all humans in Teyvat at the time.

But without the pressure of survival, the population skyrocketed as if it were free.

He now has to go to the Kuiper Belt to find dwarf planets for terraforming, in order to prepare new homes for the newborn population of Mondstadt.

This was tough on him. While finding planets in the Kuiper Belt wasn't difficult—humans could find a few each year by surveying the sky with astronomical equipment—it was a real challenge.

But moving a planet to a suitable location is extremely difficult.

Even a top-tier god like him is exhausted like a dog.

He was too embarrassed to ask other gods for help, since this was his own business in Mondstadt, and asking other gods for help would make him seem incompetent.

“Are you all still chatting here? You guys continue, I’m going in first.” Mavica waved her hand and made a sound before entering the Pantheon, her expression somewhat complicated.

Sigh, there isn't a single god among Nata's people yet, not even counting the Night God who was originally a deity.

The strongest, Sitrus, had only recently advanced to the sixth rank.

It's true that if you're one step ahead, you'll always be ahead.

Fortunately, Fontaine's situation was similar to Nata's, otherwise she would have been really depressed.

Mavica's words caused the gods to stop their pleasantries and enter the temple together.

The gods of Japan and Inazuma, Raiden Shin and Raiden, as well as the newly ascended god 'Fox God' Yae no Miko, have begun to sit on the throne.

The gods took their seats one after another.

Two more figures appeared on the throne of the gods: Quetzal Koyatl, the chief god of the three great civilizations of South America, the Inca, the Maya, and the Aztecs.

Ishtar, a goddess of Venus.

"Hey everyone, we're all finally together again!" Quetzal grinned and waved enthusiastically to everyone.

"Wow~ There are so many more people than last time, it's getting more and more lively, don't you think, Boss Bai?" Mai Duo, who had been a god for over fifty years, happily shook Bai Yue Kui's arm beside her and said cheerfully.

"Well, it's not the explosion period yet. A few hundred years from now, when there are more than six-level superhumans, the number of gods will explode, and the current thrones of the Pantheon will be full." Bai Yuekui said, adjusting his glasses.

"However, the Pantheon will definitely expand in the future, and it is even possible that a 'hall' unique to gods above the God-King will appear above the Pantheon."

"How did Boss Bai know? Did Brother Luo tell you?" Mai Duo blinked.

"It's just an objective analysis. I told you to read more books, but you wouldn't listen." Bai Yuekui tapped Maiduo on the head.

"Oh dear." Maiduo covered her head and pouted, "Speaking of which, Brother Luo has finally woken up."

“Every time I went to Eden to find Brother Luo, he was still asleep.”

"I feel more comfortable in dragon form. There's just something wrong with human form." Dvalin, the Wind Dragon King who has now become a 'god,' scratched his head. His current form is that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with short sky-blue hair.

The gods also arrived one after another.
