449 – Divine Country

“Divine country! He actually formed his own divine country!”

“Right, he has asked for divine force crystals in order to refine his divine country!!”

“What an amazing guy!!”

“With a divine country to call his own, even weak divine force rank G.o.ds may not be his match!”

“…”

The gazes of the G.o.ds concentrated on Yang Feng’s divine country, many of which were filled with shock and envy.

A divine country was the base as well as the strongest G.o.d armament of a G.o.d. Only G.o.ds with divine countries could receive the souls of their believers. Moreover, within their divine country, the G.o.ds could grasp the various laws to shape the most favorable battle environment for them.

In a strong enough divine country, even a feeble divine force rank G.o.ds could cut across two major realms and contend against an intermediate divine force rank G.o.d.

However, semi-planes were extremely rare. You have to go to the dangerous Astral Boundary and rely on your luck to look for one. Among the Feisuo Plane’s G.o.ds, there were many G.o.ds who didn’t possess a divine country of their own.

In the Zaliah pantheon and the t.i.tan pantheon, there were many G.o.ds without a divine country of their own who resided in the divine countries of other G.o.ds. Within the divine country of another G.o.ds, an area would be drawn out for them to receive their believers.

In the dark elven pantheon, only the Queen of Spiders Lolth possessed her own divine country. The rest of the dark elven G.o.ds resided in her divine country and used the power of her divine country to receive their believers.

Among the darkness G.o.ds, more than two-thirds of the G.o.ds didn’t possess their own divine country, many whom were unable to receive the souls of their believers.

The Shadow Prince Mecca was one such G.o.d who couldn’t receive the souls of his believers. As such, his believers could not be reborn.

For Yang Feng to be able to refine his own divine country when he ascended to G.o.dhood was simply incredible.

Yang Feng pointed with his finger, and divine light flickered. According to the Feisuo Plane’s planar laws, his divine country quietly vanished and disappeared in some secret place. As far as other G.o.ds went, the location of each G.o.d’s divine country was a big secret. Unless necessary, the divine countries of many G.o.ds were hidden in places impossible to find.

Whenever a G.o.d just ascended to G.o.dhood, they would be in their weakest state, and that was because they didn’t have a divine country to call their own. Even if they possessed a divine country of their own, it would still be difficult to engrave powerful laws into their divine country in a short time. Divine countries without laws inscribed into them were the most coveted treasures among the rest of the G.o.ds.

Some weak divine force rank G.o.ds and even intermediate divine force rank G.o.ds would attack weak G.o.ds with a divine country of their own who just ascended to G.o.dhood and steal their divine country.

In accordance with the Feisuo Plane’s planar laws, after refining their divine country, each G.o.d had an opportunity to hide their divine country in some secret place in the starry sky of the Feisuo Plane.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!”

“What a sly guy!!”

“…”

When the G.o.ds saw Yang Feng’s divine country vanish into the void, many of them sighed.

Virtually at the same time, there was an extra star in the Feisuo Plane’s starry sky exuding a radiant glow.

Yang Feng’s figure blurred, and he turned into a streak of black light that entered the said star and disappeared.

The star was a projection of Yang Feng’s divine country in the Feisuo Plane. With this projection, he could enter his divine country directly. Other G.o.ds, even strong divine force rank G.o.ds, couldn’t enter his divine country via this projection.

After he entered his divine country, Yang Feng pressed a dimensional badge, and countless engineering robots flew out and began the construction of various palaces and residences within the divine country.

Yang Feng flicked his wrist, and the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead appeared in his hand.

Although the weak divine force rank G.o.dhead concealed within the Queen of Spiders Lolth’s clone possessed a much greater evolution potential than the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead. However, Yang Feng had a vague premonition that once he merged with her G.o.dhead, something bad would occur. As such, he didn’t take it out.

He pressed the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead against his forehead. With a golden light, the G.o.dhead entered his forehead, and then melted into the G.o.dhead he has condensed.

Numerous wisps of the law of shadows poured out of the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead. Yang Feng’s eyes flashed with a gleam of wisdom, and he easily understood the Shadow Prince Mecca’s comprehensions acc.u.mulated over tens of thousands of years regarding shadows and a.s.sa.s.sination.

If Yang Feng had ascended to G.o.dhood before getting the apple of wisdom, then with the a.n.a.lytical power of his G.o.dhead, it would take him a decade or two to comprehend the laws contained within the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead. However, after obtaining the apple of wisdom, with the power of his G.o.dhead, he was able to understand everything within a few moments.

Inside the hidden bas.e.m.e.nt of a villa, there was an idol of the Shadow Prince Mecca broken into two halves.

“Mighty Lord the Shadow Prince Mecca, your most devout believers implore you, please listen to our voices.” Before the idol was an archbishop with a withered face of the Shadow Church prostrating himself on the ground and desperately chanting prayers. However, no matter how he prayed, he couldn’t establish a connection with the G.o.d he believed in. Without the patronage of the G.o.d and the gift of divine spells, even a Wizard could kill him. He has been reduced to an ordinary old man without any extraordinary power.

In the secret room, there were also a dozen bishops of the Shadow Church prostrating themselves on the ground, expressions of panic engraved on their withered faces.

At this moment, the Shadow Prince Mecca’s idol broken into two halves healed strangely. At the same time, the idol distorted and changed into a likeness that was 90% similar to Yang Feng’s.

When the archbishop of the Shadow Church looked up and saw the jaw-dropping, bizarre scene, his body trembled, and he realized that the Shadow Prince Mecca was already dead, and a G.o.d who has devoured him was born.

“My name is Ian, the ruler of the shadows. My believers will return to my divine country after death and gain eternal life!” A thought entered the minds of the archbishop and the bishops.

“My Lord Ian, I am Gasard! I’m willing to believe in you! I pray that you grant me strength!!” The face of the archbishop of the Shadow Country changed repeatedly, and then he bowed his head respectfully and prayed piously to Yang Feng’s idol.

In the next moment, the archbishop felt his body fill with the very familiar divine force of shadows, and he immediately turned ecstatic.

“My Lord Ian, I am Gars! I’m willing to believe in you! I pray that you grant me strength!!”

“…”

The eyes of the bishops glimmered with greed, and they knelt on the floor and prayed loudly.

The archbishop and the bishops weren’t fanatics of the Shadow Church, they weren’t bothered that the object of their wors.h.i.+p has changed. So long as the G.o.d could grant them strength, then they were willing to believe in the G.o.d.

When traces of divine force of shadows filled the bishops, they became ecstatic, and prayed even more piously. After the agony of losing their strength, they became even more devoted.

Such a scene occurred throughout the Feisuo Plane.

The Shadow Prince Mecca has been active for more than 10,000 years on the Feisuo Plane after all. As such, he possessed many bases, and his believers numbered more than 10 million. His sphere of influence spread throughout the plane.

After he a.n.a.lyzed the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead, Yang Feng got three-fourths of his believers and forces. The remaining one-forth were die-hard believers of the Shadow Prince Mecca who either committed suicide or went into hiding, filled with hatred towards the new ruler of shadows Yang Feng.

Within his divine country, Yang Feng was a.n.a.lyzing the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead. He suddenly revealed a smile: “Interesting, this Shadow Prince Mecca really wasn’t a simple individual. It turns out that he has become the sole G.o.d of a plane!!”

When the Shadow Prince Mecca has traveled in the Astral Boundary, he was fortunate enough to find a grade 9 plane. Although his true body wasn’t able to go to the grade 9 plane, but he formed a clone and used it to enter the plane. After 300 years, he gained complete control of the grade 9 plane, and had the Shadow Church become the sole church of the plane.

On the grade 9 plane, the population reached 13 million people, which wasn’t far off from the number of the Shadow Church’s believers on the Feisuo Plane.

In fact, many powerful G.o.ds of the Feisuo Plane would go to the Astral Boundary to look for lower grade planes, colonize them, and turn them into sources of faith force.

The G.o.ds who ascended to G.o.dhood on the Feisuo Plane, their true bodies could only travel the Feisuo Plane and the Astral Boundary. But once they were to go to another plane, their strength would decrease sharply. However, their clones and divine legions weren’t subjected to this restriction.

Yang Feng ordered: “Scan me!”

Strings of messages immediately emerged.

The G.o.dhead grade wasn’t a function of the c.u.mulative G.o.dhead values, but the highest value. If he hadn’t absorbed the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead, Yang Feng’s G.o.dhead grade would be 1. And even though he absorbed the Shadow Prince Mecca’s G.o.dhead, his G.o.dhead grade was only 5. He hadn’t broken through the limit of the feeble divine force rank G.o.dhead.
