His philosophy was straightforward.
Though unremarkable, though his world was barren.
Wherever he was needed — he would go.
Constantine, the devout believer, was genuinely the most dependable sort.
He was also a favorite of Liu Che among all his followers.
Inside the Eternal Temple, Liu Che was reviewing the system reports.
"Ding… your believer Constantine completed a sacrifice. You obtained the body of an angel. Through analysis and a thousandfold amplification, you acquired the Light Element Divine Art — Holy Light Shield."
"Ding… your believer Constantine completed a sacrifice. You obtained an angel's corpse. Through analysis and a thousandfold amplification, you acquired the Light Element Divine Art — Angel Wings."
"Ding… your believer Constantine completed a sacrifice. You obtained the corpse of an angel. Through analysis and a ten-thousandfold amplification, you acquired the Light Element Divine Art — Dry Land光域."
"Ding… your believer Constantine completed a sacrifice. You obtained the body of an angel. Through analysis and a hundred-thousandfold amplification, you acquired the Light Element Divine Art — Sacred Hymn."
"Ding… your believer Constantine completed a sacrifice. You obtained the body of an angel. Through analysis and a millionfold amplification, you acquired the Light Element Divine Art — Sacred Incarnation."
… and so on, skill after skill.
Most of it was useless to Liu Che anyway. He just handed everything to Robin, had her sort it out, and filed it away in the Thirty-Third Heavenly Pagoda.
Things like the sword techniques and sword styles he had collected over the years — useless to him.
But to his believers, these were treasures beyond measure.
Take Sauron, for instance. Through sheer effort he had obtained a demigod sword and comprehended the aura of a certain sword formation.
Now he charged forward.
Even many powerhouses were no match for him.
If it hadn't been for that Killing Pill, this guy would have almost reached the strength of a proper heavyweight.
Yaya and Lixing knelt at his feet at this moment, their hair being stroked by his hand.
The two girls were as adorable as kittens.
"You worked hard this time."
"Not at all, not at all… we're just happy to be able to share something with the gods."
"Indeed."
The two girls were sensible, and had been worried about Liu Che for a long time.
How exhausting it must be for one person to manage so many worlds.
Footsteps came from outside the door. Liu Che didn't need to look to know it was Ling Yue Xian Ji and Yao Ji.
"God, preparations for the current Pilgrimage Assembly are complete, and all the offerings are arranged. Do you wish to summon everyone?"
The monthly assembly hadn't been scheduled yet.
It was because every year Liu Che would give his goddesses a gift.
Though nothing extravagant, it was a gesture from the heart.
This time it was the Great Assembly.
Liu Che nodded and smiled: "Go. Let them rest — they don't need to work so hard all the time."
"Yes."
The two women turned and went about their business.
Guoguo sat beside him on the streaming seat, munching candied fruit.
After the call of the gods went out.
The God's Domain filled with joy. Even areas like the Affliction Giant Tree ceased all business, coming to offer their exhortations to the gods and goddess.
The hardworking goddesses were busy everywhere. The believers could only offer their blessings.
May the goddess they believed in be happy with the gods for a long, long time.
Within the world of the immortals.
Yang Chan looked at the message on the back of her hand, rose, and said to her parents and second brother: "I should go now. I've been away too long this time. It's time to return."
"Go, sister."
Yang Jian gave her a thumbs up — but it drew the eye of the Third Mother-in-law.
She muttered with a small mouth: "You, the eldest, aren't getting any younger. Even if you look down on the immortals' world, at least find me a sister-in-law, will you? God doesn't forbid believers from marrying."
"Go go go… you girl, hurry up. Enough preaching to me…"
Yang Jian's face flushed. He hurried to make his escape.
Truthfully, he did have someone he favored.
The woman was quite ordinary.
Since he had become the Third Lord of Erlang, she had served as a temple blessing at Erlang Temple.
She had grown old gradually.
At that time, Erlang Shen Yang Jian had been obstructed by Tien-jo, and his father's revenge had gone unreported.
It had been delayed, time and again.
Until suddenly looking back — the temple blessing had grown old, and the lonely woman had returned to her hometown at last.
In the end, he was found and granted a divine art.
This bound the two of them together across fate.
To say there was no love — even Yang Jian wouldn't believe it.
The goddess gathering this time could be described as a hundred flowers competing for brilliance.
Each divine system would send its divine leadership, but most stayed within their own world's goddess circle, exchanging experiences with one another.
There were even some interesting things.
Then there were anecdotes from the God Realm.
Guoguo gazed at so many goddesses and couldn't help opening her mouth wide.
"God, you have so many goddesses…"
Liu Che said with a black line: "And you think I can manage the God Realm all by myself? Go sit down. The most powerful goddess, and you sit in my lap like a child."
"Oh oh oh…"
Guoguo flapped her wings immediately and landed on the grass beside him.
Then the banquet officially began.
It looked as though those who had just received the grace of God were seated farther away. It seemed like Feng Qingxue, along with Uozhihuaree and the other goddesses, were positioned near Liu Che.
Beside God.
After all, the status of being a goddess was even higher.
Orihime Inoue and the others kept their eyes on the gods.
Enthusiastic and forward.
The grand banquet heated up with music and dance.
Every goddess expressed herself to the fullest.
Be it painting, be it dancing — a hundred and ten, hoping to catch more of the gods' attention.
Sister Kurosaki Wandering looked at the high gods and couldn't help sighing: "The gods are so magnificent. Let's go have a barbecue."
"Well, that's exactly what I was thinking."
They didn't have the heart to compete for favor.
It wasn't like Ilia and Yue'er, who took advantage of the early dancing and surrounded Liu Che.
Singing, dancing — all to win his favor.
Time passed by every minute, every second.
In the end, this lively dance party didn't break up until dawn.
Uozhihuareel and Matsumoto Ranju looked at the sign of Linxing in their hands, their small faces flushed red.
They hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly.
Before departing, Liu Ning said with a smile: "The opportunity is here for you — seize it. And Xiaoxue… you too."
She gave the girls a five-day holiday.
After five days, he would return to the world below no matter what.
Feng Qingxue lowered her head, not daring to speak.
She nearly fainted from shame.
At that moment, something catastrophic unfolded in the world of Olympus.
Even the three Weird Sisters of Destiny hadn't anticipated it.
The sun that was only supposed to set in a few years—
Was suddenly dragged into Hades by Atlas!
The world plunged into darkness all at once.
