Divine Realm
MC POV
My meditation shattered.
Not violentlyânot like a blade cleaving silenceâbut like a sudden bloom of light inside an otherwise calm ocean.
A pulse.
A shockwave.
A surge of faith power so dense and concentrated that it made my divine domain tremble as if struck by a celestial hammer.
My eyes opened.
Divine light flickered around me, rippling across the floating mountains and crystalline rivers of my domain. Even the airâusually serene, like eternal dawnâbuzzed with an intensity I had not felt in centuries.
"âŠWhat was that?"
Faith did not usually behave like this.
The daily prayers from Douluo Dalu's humanity were gentle wavesâsteady, predictable, warm.
But this?
This was a torrentâa monsoon of faith that descended on me all at once, as if an entire civilization had taken a leap forward in the same breath.
I extended my divine senses outward.
Golden faith threads streaked across the divine sky like meteors, gathering toward the core of my god position. My divine ring glowed, trembling with excitement, greedily absorbing the overflowing energy.
But something was wrong.
This faith⊠it did not come from Douluo.
I closed my eyes again, sinking inward, following the threads of power back to their source.
A planet emerged in my mindâone of the two thousand lower worlds under the Dragon God's jurisdiction, marked only as World-77613 in divine records.
Human civilization spike detected.
Mass-scale belief resonance triggered by structural societal advancement.
My brows rose.
"That fast? A civilization entering accelerated growth⊠but how?"
I dug deeperâand then I froze.
Shan Liang.
Xie E.
Those two names pulsed faintly in the flow of humanity's collective consciousnessâminor echoes, but with unmistakable emotional weight attached to them by the mortals of that world.
"âŠThey did it."
They were the center of the surge.
Not because people worshiped themâthey didn't.
But because the systems I had given Shan Liang, the wisdom she spread, the laws she seeded, the food methods she taughtâŠ
They had reached a tipping point.
Humanity on their planet had collectively stepped over a thresholdâfrom survival instinct to structured civilization.
And civilization-born faith was different from personal worship.
It wasn't just gratitude or reverence.
It was hope itself.
The fundamental belief that their world could become betterârooted in science, agriculture, law, unity, cooperation.
Civilizational faith.
Rare. Powerful. Nearly impossible to channel without a divine domain attuned to humanity's growth.
ExceptâŠ
I happened to be the God of Humanity.
No wonder the faith erupted like a star being born.
I continued observing, eyes narrowing in wonder.
Heartspring Settlement had expanded.
New towns had risen.
Improved laws circulated through villages.
People had food stability.
There was early education.
Primitive medicine.
Long-term planning.
All these developments accumulated into a single phenomenon:
A massive leap in human collective destiny.
And like a divine magnet, every ounce of that advancement flowed toward me.
But the surprise did not end there.
I looked for Shan Liang and Xie E.
And foundânothing.
They were gone.
Not dead. Not in danger.
Traveling.
I perceived them far from their home region, walking a broad path across their world. The system artifact followed, adapting, growing, guiding silently.
"They're walking their own journeys," I murmured.
Like I once didâŠ
When I left for adventure as a youth in Douluo.
When I became a seeker rather than a teacher.
When I found truths no one else could.
It was strangely nostalgic.
A soft laugh escaped meâhalf amusement, half pride.
"You two⊠you're growing exactly as you should."
Their cultivation had risen as well.
Both had reached a level equivalent to Tier 7 in Douluo termsâSoul Saintsâfar beyond what their planet's humans typically reached.
I shook my head lightly.
And here I thought that system would mainly uplift civilization.
Turns out, it uplifted its hosts along with it.
The divine surge around me pulsed againâinviting, urging.
"Alright⊠let's use this opportunity."
I returned to my lotus platform.
Faith swirled like golden mist, coiling around my divine rings.
I breathed in, allowing the energy to merge with my divine core.
A blazing brilliance exploded from my chestâthe soundless roar of divine advancement.
Faith purified.
Immortal energy aligned.
My god position throbbed, expanding ever so slightly.
The rings behind me glowed in order:
1st ring â stable
2nd ring â solid
3rd ring â vibrant
4th ring â resonant
5th ring â brilliant
The 5th divine ring suddenly shone brighter, spinning faster, burning with potential.
"âŠNot yet to the next breakthrough," I muttered. "But close. Very close."
I did calculations of divine progression in my mind.
If these twoâShan Liang and Xie Eâcontinued to nurture their civilizationâŠ
If they reached the peak of their worldâŠ
If they condensed divine positions through their system-enhanced social and spiritual breakthroughsâŠ
Then the combined civilizational leapâthe birth of two new gods in the same worldâwould feed directly into my divinity.
I did the numbers twice.
Then a third time.
The conclusion stayed the same:
"When they ascend⊠I will reach 1st Class God immediately."
My heart tightened.
That was the realm of gods who could create independent divine territories, influence cosmic laws, and even negotiate with the Dragon Kings.
But the realization that followedâŠ
surprised me even more.
"âŠThis planet has enough world origin energy to raise two gods?"
That was strange.
Most lower planetsâespecially those early in developmentâbarely had enough foundational energy to support one natural god.
But this worldâŠ
Either it was special, or perhaps destiny itself had been altered by the presence of the system.
I leaned back as galaxies shimmered in the divine sky above.
"Two future godsâŠ
Kindness and Evil, if the original story holds true.
But this time⊠shaped by civilization, not war."
A faint smile touched my lips.
"Shan Liang, Xie E⊠walk your path.
The divine realm awaits you."
I raised a hand, the last ripples of faith sinking into my divine core.
"And I⊠will be waiting as well."
A quiet stillness settled across my domain.
The next era was approachingâslow, majestic, inevitable.
And this timeâŠ
I would not be walking into it alone.
