Shrek Academy, Sea God Island. This place was once a gateway to the God Realm.
The entire Academy was already filled with people. Many unfamiliar faces appeared on Sea God Island, which usually did not accept outsiders.
Besides Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and other Sea God Pavilion elders, there were also Body Douluo Poison Undying, Star Luo Douluo, Heavenly Sun Douluo—and Spirit Beasts who had emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest, transformed into human form, but still had fierce expressions.
Looking at Di Tian and others, who were exuding Spirit Beast aura, everyone else kept scrutinizing them with curious expressions, especially after seeing Silver Dragon King Gu Yue standing at the very front. Everyone wondered about her identity.
However, before they could ask, an dazzling golden light bloomed in the sky above Sea God Island.
The enormous body of the Golden Ancient Tree gradually emerged, and a bright aura filled the entire Shrek Academy. Its giant figure could be seen throughout Shrek City.
The royal families of the Star Luo, Douluo, and Heaven Dou Three Great Empires had all arrived. However, as emperors of the Three Great Empires, everyone's gaze did not fall on them, but rather on the figure meditating with closed eyes beneath the giant Golden Tree.
Wang Nan was sitting cross-legged under the Golden Tree. His mental force had completely enveloped Shrek City and was extending towards the high sky.
However, no one could detect his mental force fluctuations except for Silver Dragon King Gu Yue beside him and Huo Yuhao, who had Electrolux's reminder in his Sea of Spirit.
The Golden Tree gently swayed, its golden leaves rustling. Its lush canopy almost covered the entire Academy, and its tall branches seemed to reach directly into the high heavens.
Beneath the tree, a faint golden light suddenly lit up on Wang Nan's body. Soon, this light became even brighter.
Yellow, yellow, purple, gold, black, black, gold, red, and finally a spirit ring like a galaxy rose one by one. Under the illumination of the golden light on his body, a layer of gold faintly appeared on all nine spirit rings.
Wang Nan was completely bathed in golden light. With a Dragon roar that soared to the clouds, the entire World began to tremble.
All the Spirit Masters who could remain on Sea God Island were of Titled Douluo cultivation. Yet, under the aura emanating from Wang Nan, an indelible sense of fear still appeared in their hearts. It was the instinctual fear of powerful strength.
Wang Nan's figure gradually ascended into the air. The thin mist on Sea God Lake dispersed, and even people in other places could clearly see his figure.
He lowered his head slightly and scanned his surroundings. Everyone within his line of sight looked up at him, including familiar faces and those he had never met.
Those gazes contained doubt, anticipation, and the fervent admiration brought about by Wang Nan's name.
"Everyone, the power of this World has already become imbalanced—"
Wang Nan's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"The path forward is broken—" Low whispers spread through the crowd. The path to the God Realm was broken, and the power of the Douluo Continent was imbalanced. Such rumors had spread throughout the Douluo Continent for half a year. They originally thought it was just unfounded rumors, but they never expected that even the group of people standing at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent would say so.
"All of this is due to the chaos in the God Realm, the God Position not manifesting—" Wang Nan's voice drowned out everyone else, drawing their gaze to him. It was a pity that he was truly not good with words. Looking at everyone's gazes, he did not utter a lengthy speech, but merely spoke calmly.
"Today, I shall attain the God Position of Order, open the path forward, redefine Order, restrain the gods, and ensure that the heavens have Path."
Becoming a God!
A simple sentence, yet it caused an uproar in the crowd. Even Xuan Zi, Poison Undying, and others who knew the inside story beforehand couldn't help but show a change in expression when they truly heard Wang Nan say such words.
Huo Yuhao was even more excited. Tianmeng Iceworm and others in his Sea of Spirit also looked at the figure in mid-air through Huo Yuhao's mental force.
Besides the Silver Dragon King and Wang Nan himself, no one else noticed that after he spoke these words, countless invisible powers were born from the crowd, converging towards Wang Nan.
What is Faith?
After his cultivation reached the Limit Douluo Realm, Wang Nan had pondered this question more than once, until finally,
he discovered that the Faith of this World was not the same as what he understood.
The Faith of this World was not a devout reverence for a certain god, but merely a special power originating from the belief of life.
It was not pure, but mixed. If the Sea God's power came from the Faith of life in the ocean, then where did the Faith for a God Position like "Butterfly God" come from? One must know that lives without consciousness, like butterflies, would not have Faith.
Therefore, the Power Of Faith in this World was not the kind of Faith in gods from religions of his previous life that Wang Nan understood, but rather another name for people's thoughts and beliefs. The God Realm in this World was also created by means of this power.
The thoughts of all lives in this World have weight. When they think of, when they recall, another power transcending that of Spirit Masters will naturally be born.
When the Soul Guidance Devices of Gengxin City spread, when Wang Nan's proposals were implemented, when Wang Nan's name constantly circulated among Spirit Beasts, when Peerless Douluo was continuously mentioned by Spirit Masters—
When Wang Nan spoke of becoming a God in front of everyone, when Wang Nan was willing to create a further possibility for the top Spirit Masters in this World, the Power Of Faith continuously surged from all directions.
The stronger the individual, the more power of belief they could generate. When Wang Nan spoke those words, even though Xuan Zi and others knew the path ahead was bleak, they still unconsciously hoped that Wang Nan would succeed.
The golden light on Wang Nan's body became even more dazzling. In everyone's gaze, his glabella, chest, and lower abdomen—
Three places on his body simultaneously lit up with golden light, like dazzling stars rising before their eyes.
The first Divine Core containing mental force and will, the second Divine Core containing Energy and blood power and the body, and the third Divine Core containing Law and Spirit.
Wang Nan already understood when he condensed the third Divine Core that the three Divine Cores were actually one. From the very beginning, they were components of a higher form—the Divine Core.
The surging Power Of Faith and the long-accumulated power within his body continuously churned. The three great Divine Cores rotated rapidly,
They gradually approached each other, and their powers also began to merge.
"Are those Divine Cores?"
Xuan Zi's eyes could not hide his shock. No wonder he could contend with Limit Douluo Dragon Emperor Senior not long after breaking through to Titled Douluo.
On the other hand, Huo Yuhao was much calmer. It would be surprising to him if Wang Nan did not have three Divine Cores within him. At this moment, his attention was more focused on the process of Wang Nan's three great Divine Cores gradually merging.
