----------
Thirty-five divine days passed in the Divine Realm.
In Douluo Dalu, that span was long enough for faith to deepen, cities to rise, and roots to quietly take hold beneath the surface of the world.
For me, those days were anything but peaceful.
Since the moment the World Tree seed was planted, I had met the Dragon God many times.
Too many times.
Each meeting followed a similar pattern.
"Waiting is the safest path," I told him calmly.
"Let more God Kings emerge. Let the realm stabilize before transformation."
Each time, he refused.
His impatience was no longer subtle.
At first, I believed it was fearâfear of losing control, fear of history catching up. But gradually, something else became apparent.
The Universal Laws were influencing him.
Not forcefully.
Not blatantly.
Just enough to tilt his emotions.
Enough to whisper urgency into his thoughts.
Enough to erode patience.
I watched it happen, unable to interfere directly.
When he finally stopped listening altogether, I understood that words alone would no longer be enough.
I summoned the Divine Council.
All God Kings assembled, their presences filling the council space with layered authority.
I proposed it openly.
"Delay the realm upgrade. Wait for the emergence of new God Kings. Reduce backlash."
The response was predictable.
The Dragon Kingsânearly all of them disciples raised by the Dragon God himselfâstood united.
They did not even hesitate.
They did not even debate.
They followed their teacher.
Human God Kings agreed with me.
The Plant and Beast God Kings supported caution as well.
But numbers mattered.
The Dragon God's will prevailed.
The decision was made.
The Divine Realm would proceed toward the ritual.
Preparation began immediately.
I compromisedâbut not blindly.
"If the ritual must proceed," I said, "then allow me to prepare a contingency. A backup plan."
That request did not conflict with their goals.
After brief deliberation, the council agreed.
And just like thatâ
The future locked itself into motion.
I returned to my domain with a heavy heart.
Not long after, I felt it.
A prayer.
Clear. Steady. Filled with reverence and anticipation.
Bai Chang.
I did not delay.
My consciousness descended into Douluo Dalu.
The moment I arrived, every figure present knelt.
The heads of the four core institutes.
The rishis.
The priests.
The builders.
Bai Chang stepped forward, eyes shining.
"My god," he said respectfully, "the City of Beginning has been completed according to your will. We await the opening ceremony."
I felt a warmth spread through my chest.
I extended my divine sense across the city.
What I saw exceeded my expectations.
Area A stood majestic.
The four core institutes rose like pillars around the concealed central lakeâmassive structures with intricate geometric designs, layered formations embedded seamlessly into architecture.
Not extravagance.
Purpose.
Every corridor, every hall, every foundation carried thought.
Beyond thatâ
Area B thrived with organized residential districts, training grounds, and communal spaces for institute members.
Area C had already begun to show signs of independent growthânew institutes forming, spaces reserved for innovation and response to future crises.
And Area Dâ
Bustling even before the city officially opened.
Markets. Housing. Infrastructure.
They had built with the future in mind.
Expansion-ready.
Adaptable.
Alive.
I nodded slowly.
"Well done," I said.
Relief washed over them.
I shifted my focus inwardâtoward the four core institutes.
At the heart of each, I found an empty space.
Perfectly circular.
Untouched.
I turned my gaze back to the gathered group.
"You left the central areas empty," I said.
Bai Chang stepped forward again, bowing.
"We believed our god might require those spaces," he said honestly. "We did not dare decide for ourselves."
I smiled faintly.
They had trusted me completely.
I raised my hand.
Divine power flowedânot violently, not overwhelmingly, but with precision.
At the center of each institute, the ground softened.
Small ponds formed.
Thenâ
They connected.
Invisible channels linked them directly to the central lake, where liquefied spirit energy rested beneath layers of concealment.
Golden light shimmered as the ponds filled.
But I was not finished.
I extended the faith flowing toward me from this world and refined itâlayer by layer.
The pond within the Divine Temple transformed first.
The liquid shifted into TÄ«rthamâsacred water imbued with purity, blessing, and spiritual cleansing. Its presence alone calmed the soul.
Gasps echoed.
The pond within the Library of Wisdom followed.
Its liquid deepened into a shimmering essence that strengthened memory, sharpened cognition, and nurtured insight.
Scholars trembled.
Next came the Research University.
The liquid there changed into a radiant medium that awakened latent talent, refined innate potential, and guided growth without distortion.
Finally, the Knowledge Bank.
The pond condensed into cultivation essenceâstable, pure, and perfectly suited for long-term progression.
The air shook with awe.
"These are gifts," I said gently.
"From your god. For your devotion. And for the inconvenience this transformation has caused."
Silence followed.
Thenâ
One person began to cry.
Then another.
Soon, the entire hall echoed with sobsânot of sorrow, but fulfillment.
"It was our duty," Bai Chang said through tears.
"Even if our god had asked us to give our lives⊠we would not have hesitated."
I looked at them quietly.
They did not worship me out of fear.
They believed.
And that beliefâ
Was stronger than any divine law.
Above, the heavens grew restless.
Below, humanity stood united.
And between themâ
I prepared for the day the sky would break.
