----------
When the tremors of ascension finally faded, silence returned to the Divine Realm.
Not the uneasy silence of restraint, nor the fragile calm of watchful fear—but something deeper. A silence born of acceptance, as if the heavens themselves were waiting for the next command.
Ye Caiqian rose from his domain.
With a single step, he crossed layers of reality and descended toward the deepest stratum of the Divine Realm—
a place no ordinary god could reach.
The Divine Core.
The space around the core was neither light nor darkness.
It was origin.
Here, the Divine Realm's laws were not written—they were being written, continuously refined by existence itself. Vast streams of primal authority converged and dispersed endlessly, feeding every god, every domain, every world under its influence.
And waiting there—
Were the Dragon Kings.
Ancient, immense presences coiled around pillars of condensed law. Their forms were not fixed—sometimes draconic, sometimes abstract—manifestations of authority older than most civilizations.
At the center, unmoving and absolute, rested the Dragon God.
He was not seated on a throne.
He was the axis.
His existence fused seamlessly with the Divine Core, every pulse of the realm echoing through him. Golden draconic eyes opened as Ye Caiqian approached.
For a brief moment—
All gazes turned toward the newly ascended God King of Humanity.
Ye Caiqian inclined his head slightly.
"Dragon God. Fellow God Kings."
The ancient beings did not bristle.
Nor did they test him.
Instead, one by one, deep resonant voices echoed through the core-space.
"You have crossed the threshold."
"A rare thing."
"A Human God King…"
"Congratulations."
There was no mockery.
No condescension.
Only recognition.
Ye Caiqian returned the acknowledgment calmly. "Thank you."
The Dragon God studied him in silence for a long moment before speaking.
"Now that you stand here," the Dragon God said, his voice layered with countless harmonics,
"what do you intend to do?"
The question was simple.
Its implications were not.
God Kings did not exist in isolation. Every step they took reshaped fate, authority, and balance. Humanity's rise was no longer hypothetical—it was present.
Ye Caiqian did not rush to answer.
When he finally spoke, his words were steady and clear.
"I intend to let the Divine Realm grow."
A ripple passed through the Dragon Kings.
Ye Caiqian continued.
"Dragons and beasts rule through instinct, bloodline, and elemental authority. That path is powerful—but finite."
He lifted his gaze, meeting the Dragon God's eyes directly.
"Humanity is different."
The Divine Core pulsed faintly.
"Humans do not inherit authority," Ye Caiqian said. "They create it."
He gestured lightly, and three conceptual lights appeared.
"One of Kindness."
"One of Evil."
"And my own—Humanity and Civilization."
"These are not elemental dominions. They do not overlap with beast authorities. They do not erode dragon law."
His voice deepened.
"They expand the framework in which authority itself can exist."
The Dragon Kings listened intently.
"When more Human Gods ascend," Ye Caiqian said, "the Divine Realm does not fragment—it stabilizes. New paths emerge. New concepts take form. The realm grows broader, not weaker."
He paused.
"Humans and beast races need not compete. Our godhoods do not collide."
Silence followed.
The Dragon God closed his eyes.
As the being most intimately bound to the Divine Core, he felt the truth of Ye Caiqian's words—not as philosophy, but as feedback.
The Divine Realm had expanded.
Control had deepened.
Capacity had increased.
At the same time, another thought surfaced—older, heavier.
Human rebellion.
The fear was not unfounded.
But now?
The Dragon God opened his eyes.
"At present," he said slowly, "I remain the sole controller of the Divine Core."
The laws around him resonated in affirmation.
"The possibility of humanity overthrowing the Divine Realm… is negligible."
His gaze sharpened.
"If that ever changes, it will not go unnoticed."
Ye Caiqian nodded once. "That is reasonable."
The Dragon God's voice thundered softly.
"Very well."
A decisive pulse surged through the Divine Core.
"As long as Humanity does not bring chaos to the Divine Realm," the Dragon God declared,
"no beast god or dragon shall harass or suppress newly ascended Human Gods."
The declaration echoed across every layer of heaven.
A covenant was formed.
For the first time since his ascension, Ye Caiqian felt genuine relief.
Not for himself.
But for Humanity.
The path forward no longer required constant vigilance, hidden safeguards, or preemptive confrontation.
Human gods could rise—
Without fear.
"Thank you," Ye Caiqian said sincerely.
The Dragon God inclined his massive head slightly.
"You have earned this much."
Ye Caiqian did not stop there.
"There is one more matter," he said.
The Dragon God gestured for him to continue.
"The Divine Realm has grown too vast for unilateral silence," Ye Caiqian said. "Misunderstandings breed conflict. Conflict wastes potential."
He looked around at the gathered God Kings.
"I propose the formation of a Divine Council of God Kings."
A low murmur spread.
"This council will represent the Divine Realm as a whole," Ye Caiqian continued.
"A forum for diplomacy. For judgment. For resolving disputes before blood is shed."
His voice remained calm.
"It is better to solve problems with dialogue than slaughter."
The Dragon God considered this carefully.
Finally—
He raised a claw.
With a single motion, reality reshaped itself.
Near the Divine Core, a vast circular domain unfolded—
pillars of law forming naturally, thrones manifesting according to authority rather than hierarchy.
"This shall be the seat of the Divine Council," the Dragon God declared.
His voice reverberated throughout existence.
"Henceforth, matters concerning the Divine Realm shall be deliberated here."
A pause.
"The final decision," he added, "will remain with me."
No one objected.
That balance was expected.
The Dragon God's will surged outward.
Across the Divine Realm, every god felt it.
"Hear this decree."
"A Divine Council of God Kings is established."
"All disputes concerning the Divine Realm shall be brought before it."
The heavens listened.
History shifted.
Ye Caiqian stood quietly at the edge of the newly formed council space.
The structure of the future had been laid.
Humanity no longer walked alone.
And the Divine Realm had, at last, chosen order over stagnation.
The Age of Humanity had not begun with war—
But with accord.
