Chapter 322: 154: Amaterasu!_1
The Great Sun’s radiance bathed the entire world, sweeping away all vile spirits!
With Shen Yuan’s issuance of the Gods Purging Edict, the island that once stood alone overseas and formed its own realm suddenly underwent a world-shaking transformation.
A golden light descended from the Ninth Heavens, tearing open the barrier separating this realm from the outside world, and the power of the Incense Offering Divinity Path, which pervaded all realms, swiftly took hold of this land.
The Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin Will resonated with the Divinity Path Religious Sect, cascades of rosy light fell from the firmament, and celestial flowers rained from the sky while golden lotuses surged from the earth.
Amid the countless miraculous signs at their center, the Great Sun was quietly undergoing a metamorphosis.
The Great Sun nurtured by Shen Yuan symbolized order, born from the cataclysmic upheaval of heaven and earth, possessing a sliver of frail Spiritual Wisdom at its inception.
However, the sun, after all, is an eternal creation under the rules of the cosmos. Amongst the numerous Great Suns across the realms, almost none retain Spiritual Wisdom, and even fewer achieve the embodiment of deities.
Because the stature of the Great Sun is exceedingly sublime, even a Great Sun within a small realm has a status scarcely less than that of a True Immortal.
To consecrate such high-ranking entities as local deities, only a few Emperors within the Heavenly Court are capable.
Ordinary cultivators, even Divine Monarchs and True Immortals, despite having the method of consecration, are utterly powerless to consecrate a Great Sun.
Normally speaking, Shen Yuan, at the first realm of his Gods Purging Divine Power, should also be unable to order the Great Sun of order to ascend to a pantheon seat.
However, this Great Sun of order was born from Shen Yuan’s own hands and had, by happy coincidence, developed a frail Spiritual Wisdom.
And the last, most crucial point was that ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Court still loomed over all the worlds, watching over the mortal realm.
The Gods Purging Divine Power that Shen Yuan wielded was the fundamental bedrock that the Heavenly Court used to administer the realms with the system of the Divinity Path, ensuring the Heavenly Court’s stability.
In some respects, the status of one who possesses the Gods Purging Divine Power is almost comparable to that of the Emperor who oversees the Divinity Path in the Heavenly Court.
As long as one could leverage a sliver of the Heavenly Court’s power, consecrating a sun in a small realm as a local deity would be as easy as lifting a finger.
However, ten thousand years prior, the Great Schism had not yet occurred, and even the Supreme Emperor, who should have wielded the Gods Purging Divine Power, had not fallen.
Under these circumstances, Shen Yuan could not be certain whether his actions would attract the attention of the Heavenly Court; thus, he had always refrained from acting rashly, maintaining a cautious approach.
Even when consecrating Three-field Yuu as the Mountain God, he merely confined the power within this realm and did not summon the Divinity Path Will of the Heavenly Court.
However, the emergence of the Eyes of Dusk had already broken the rules of this realm, and if the Great Sun of order was left to be dragged to the point of sunset by the Eyes of Dusk, all would be lost.
Left with no other choice, Shen Yuan had to utilize his Gods Purging Divine Power, his last resort, and decided to consecrate the Great Sun of order as a deity.
Shen Yuan, using the fragile Spiritual Wisdom as the foundation, connected this world’s Heavenly Court with his Gods Purging Edict, consecrating the Great Sun of order as a deity with the Divinity Path Original Will.
Such means are simply beyond the reach of mortals, and even within the Upper World, there are very few who can achieve this feat.
A bridge that seemed forged of gold fell from the Ninth Heavens, and upon the bridge were inscribed mountains and rivers, heaven and earth’s creatures, with bountiful incense energy transforming into auspicious clouds surrounding both sides of the bridge.
In an instant, the Primal Chaos Realm trembled, and within its numerous famous mountains and grotto heavens sacred ground, all cultivators who had attained a certain level of cultivation could see the dazzling light of the Divinity Path radiating from beyond the vast sea.
“Divinity Path Golden Bridge?”
“A Divine Monarch has emerged! A Divine Monarch has emerged!”
“Could it be that another Divine Sovereign has crossed that crucial step, achieving the Divine Monarch’s status and forging a divine court?”
“I have seen the Donghuang Divine Sovereign ascend to the Divine Monarch’s status, but the spectacle of his Divinity Path Golden Bridge spanned only thousands of miles; yet the vision of this Divinity Path Golden Bridge from beyond the sea spans tens of thousands of miles? Could it be that another being of extremely high status has been consecrated by the Heavenly Court?”
“To cross the Divinity Path Golden Bridge is to ascend to the heavens in one step!”
Shen Yuan was completely unaware of the stir within the Primal Chaos Realm, as he was presently focused on the transformation of the Great Sun of order.
As the golden bridge extended into this realm, the Great Sun of order, which originally resembled a huge fireball, gradually began to develop a human shape.
Deities born with innate sanctity, like the True Dragon, follow the appearance of ancient deities from their lineage, maintaining the ancient form with dragon’s head and human body, and many Mountain Gods and Water Gods are the same.
The deity transformed from the sun does not adhere to any specific form; it could even manifest as a Fire Phoenix or a Fire Dragon, but the Great Sun of order, nurtured by Shen Yuan, consciously took on a human form akin to Shen Yuan’s human body during its metamorphosis.
As the outline of the human form became clearer, Shen Yuan could distinctly sense that the network of the Incense Offering Divinity Path had already spread to every corner of this realm, aided by the bridge.
The Great Sun had received the divine consecration, ascending to a status comparable to a True Immortal of the Upper World, the Divine Monarch’s position, while the Incense Offering Divinity Path used the Great Sun, now a master of this realm, as a medium to extend its own network and consolidate its foundation across the realms.
Perhaps this minor realm seemed insignificant in the grand scheme of the Incense Offering Divinity Path’s layout across the realms, yet the cumulative effect of countless minor realms could sway the trajectory of all worlds.
“The Incense Offering Divinity Path and the deities within it are not in a one-sided relationship of dominion; rather, they are interdependent and symbiotic, quietly aligning with the natural order of heaven and earth.”
Witnessing all that unfolded before him, a flicker of realization flashed across Shen Yuan’s eyes; the flame that was the seed of his Gods Purging Divine Power flickered and was rapidly consumed.
