Today is the day I break through to Lord God!

Hongmeng's heart stirred; the Hongmeng Path at the Pinnacle Heavenly God level within him faintly began to transform. As long as he pierced through that final barrier, a qualitative change would occur, and he would ascend to the Lord God Level of the Hongmeng Path.

However, the passage from Heavenly God to Lord God was akin to the promotion from Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal in the Immortal Path. It might have looked like only one final step was needed, yet this barrier had stumped many a prodigious genius. If they could not break through this barrier in their entire lives, they would be trapped at the peak of Heavenly God forever.

But Hongmeng was confident because he had already foreseen the path to breaking through the barrier.

All things carry Yin and embrace Yang. Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang. Humans are divided into male and female. God's kingdom is no different.

Whether it was the Eastern myths he understood in his former life or the Western ones, where there was a Heavenly Court, there was an Underworld; where there was Heaven, there was Hell.

Hongmeng's God's kingdom had transformed to the peak of a Middle-Thousand World, yet it lacked an Underworld, Hell, and reincarnation. When the Six Desires Reincarnation Tree took root in his God's kingdom and the Six Desires Reincarnation Path fused with the Heavenly Dao, subtly beginning to evolve a Hell deeper within the God's kingdom, Hongmeng had a stroke of divine inspiration. He not only had a realization about how to elevate his God's kingdom to a Great Qian World but also understood the path to ascending as a Lord God.

Hongmeng rose from his divine throne. Above his head churned a sea of golden clouds, which was both the Divine Kingdom Heavenly Dao and the Hongmeng Path. Nine majestic Fortune Golden Dragons, symbols of great authority, coiled around his body. His majestic and profound gaze swept over the entire God's kingdom, as if he were The Sovereign.

At this moment, as Hongmeng stood up, all beings within God's kingdom felt something profound, as if they saw a supreme sovereign looking down upon the world.

Jing Ni, Angel Yan, and all the Angelic guards in the Temple fell to their knees and prayed devoutly, "Great God of Hongmeng, your pious followers pray to you..."

Not only them, but all sentient beings in God's kingdom also followed suit and prayed. For a time, celestial chants echoed throughout God's kingdom, and an endless Power of Faith filled the skies, seemingly transforming Heaven and Earth into a sacred ocean.

Hongmeng spoke as if with heavenly authority, his majestic and grand voice resonating with the Divine Kingdom Heavenly Dao in a thunderous roar, "Let Heaven and Earth be opened, and Yin and Yang be divided!"

Heaven and Earth split into the two colors of Yin and Yang; the thirty-three heavens ascended while the great earth sank. All Divine Beasts prostrated themselves, filled with fear and unease. Yet none of the Heroic Spirits nor the Angelic Warriors were remotely affected, continuing their prayers with devout confidence.

"Hell shall be established! Reincarnation unceasing!"

RUMBLE RUMBLE.

With that proclamation, thunder boomed, the world shifted colors, and endless Dao Laws intertwined as earth, water, fire, and wind emerged.

On the other side of the great earth's depths, an endless black aura, interwoven with ceaseless Dao Laws, spread like a cataclysmic tide, sweeping all around in a surging torrent. A new world, or perhaps a new plane, was being carved out, coming into existence.

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, the earth shook violently, and endless negative energies poured into God's kingdom.

Cold.

Deathly silent.

Dark.

Terrifying.

Countless Divine Beasts and ordinary creatures of lower intelligence trembled in fear and despair.

Above and below, everywhere, all was trembling and roaring. It was as if the sky and earth were flipping, as if the heavens themselves were being remade.

The branches of the Six Desires Reincarnation Tree swayed as if in jubilation, its thick, dense roots reaching toward the newly born Hell. The Reincarnation Path, Nether Dao, Path of Death, Path of Evil... Endless Dao Laws intertwined, giving rise to the eighteen levels of hell: Tongue-Pulling Hell, Scissors Hell, Iron Tree Hell, Mirror Hell, Steaming Cage Hell, Copper Column Hell, Knife Mountain Hell... One by one, the layers of hell were established. The Mortal Path, Heavenly Dao, Ashura Path, Hell Dao, Hungry Path Way, Livestock Path—the Six Ways took shape.

BOOM!

God's kingdom shook violently.

At this moment, Hell was established. The Hongmeng Path quaked dramatically. The Pinnacle Heavenly God Hongmeng Path instantly punctured that final membrane, transforming at once and ascending to the early stage of the Lord God's Hongmeng Path.

As the early stage of the Lord God's Hongmeng Path materialized, Hongmeng's cultivation naturally ascended to Lord God. Countless Divine Crystals burned, pouring into Hongmeng's body like a vast, raging river, constantly nourishing his flesh and soul.

One billion.

Ten billion.

A hundred billion.

A trillion.

...

Hongmeng didn't know how many trillions of Divine Crystals had been consumed, but the moment he fully ascended, he felt an endless surge of power welling up within him.

Powerful.

More powerful than ever before.

Terrifying.

More terrifying than ever before.

"DING! Breakthrough to Lord God! God's kingdom transformed, expanding ten-thousandfold, earning a trillionfold increase! God's kingdom ascends to the Medium Thousand Worlds!"

RUMBLE RUMBLE.

God's kingdom trembled fiercely as the Three Thousand Dao surged. Its area expanded wildly as suns, moons, and stars congealed: thirty-three heavens, eighteen layers of hell, countless planes... God's kingdom expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye, with a frenzied influx of void chaos energy surging in. With every breath, God's kingdom expanded by at least a thousandfold, even ten-thousandfold.

The Six Desires Reincarnation Tree, Ancient Bodhi Tree, Life ancient tree, Blue Silver Emperor, Seven Treasures Jianmu, Flame Red Lotus, and other Innate Spiritual Roots grew wildly as God's kingdom expanded. Wherever God's kingdom extended, their roots stretched. It must be said that these Innate Spiritual Roots were indeed terrifying.

A full two hours passed. Finally, the transformation was complete.

The God's kingdom had transformed. It was completely renewed. It emerged vaster and more perfect.

From the profound depths of reality, a vast and majestic power surged into Hongmeng's body. This was the Origin Power of God's kingdom. With God's kingdom having ascended to a Medium Thousand World, its Origin Power was incredibly formidable.

Hongmeng, who had just broken through to the early stage of Lord God, experienced another explosive increase in cultivation level. He instantly reached the middle stage of Lord God.

One must know, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to advance. Although it might seem like a small step from the early to the middle stage of Lord God, the actual leap in power was no less significant than ascending from a Lower God to a Heavenly God.

Of course, the breakthrough in cultivation level was merely an accompanying benefit. What truly excited Hongmeng was his God's kingdom transforming into a Medium Thousand World, meaning he now wielded the power of an entire Great Qian World.

With such immense power, combined with the nearly ten God-King Level Daos he commanded, Hongmeng had nothing to fear among Divine Kings. Even facing Divine Emperors, he dared to clash with them. Furthermore, wielding an Innate Treasure, he might not even be weaker than Divine Emperor Level Powerhouses.

At this moment, Hongmeng truly possessed the capital to establish himself and command respect. On the Eternal Continent, or even across the Myriad of Realms, he could now be considered a true expert.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Suddenly, a series of breakthrough auras came through, one after another, their magnitude shocking. Looking out, he saw that the Heroic Spirits in his God's kingdom, along with countless Angel Warriors, all experienced tremendous breakthroughs in their cultivation. Among them, five exceedingly terrifying auras rose.

A Nine-colored Divine Python stretched across the sky. Its massive divine body resembled a range of undulating mountains, each of its mountain-sized, nine-colored scales shimmering with a radiant glow. The Petrification Path and Devouring Path, now God-King Level Daos, circled its body. Its entire divine form continuously transformed, and the aura of a Divine King swept across God's kingdom. It was none other than the Nine-colored Heaven-swallowing Python Medusa.

Medusa herself was at peak Lord God cultivation and possessed a God-King Level bloodline, enabling her to advance to the God King Realm without bottlenecks. This time, leveraging the opportunity of God's kingdom advancing to a Great Qian World, she shattered the final barrier and ascended to Divine King.

In the sky to the left of Medusa, there were similarly two gigantic beings. These were two Divine Dragons. One was covered in silver white, its dragon body long and beautiful, its scales lustrous like fine jade, surrounded by nine God-King Level Daos: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, creation, and destruction. The other was entirely golden yellow, its dragon body majestic and powerful, radiating infinite strength. It was surrounded by a single God-King Level Dao of Power, yet it exerted an overwhelming pressure. That terrifying force seemed capable of shattering the cosmos and obliterating galaxies. These two dragons, one silver and one gold, were none other than Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and Golden Dragon King.

Like Medusa, both were at the peak of Lord God cultivation with God-King Level bloodlines. They too seized the opportunity of God's kingdom's ascension to break through their barriers in one fell swoop and advance to Divine King.

The final two were in the sky to Medusa's right. They bore some resemblance to each other, each possessing a God-King Level Green Lotus Dao. They were none other than Doupo World's Gu Xun'er and Covering The Sky World's Yan Ruyu.

Besides a God-King Level Green Lotus Dao, Gu Xun'er also wielded the Path of Flame. Yan Ruyu, on the other hand, had a Chaos Blue Lotus above her head, rendering her flawless and peerlessly elegant. A mighty, boundless river of time emerged beneath their feet, surging tumultuously.

Five individuals ascending to Divine King all at once… Truly terrifyingly formidable!

Hongmeng's eyes shone with excitement. From now on, he had five Divine King-level subordinates to command.

These were Divine Kings! Beings on par with Daluo Golden Immortals.

Hongmeng watched their breakthroughs with great pleasure. Now that his God's kingdom had risen to a Medium Thousand World, it was sufficient to conceal the fluctuations of their breakthroughs, preventing detection from the outside world.

There are countless Great Qian Worlds in the Myriad of Realms; the birth of a Divine King or Daluo Golden Immortal in one such world would not typically alert others. It was the same with Hongmeng's God's kingdom.

"Sister Xun'er and the others have broken through!"

"Is this what the God King Realm is like?"

"So powerful!"

The Heroic Spirits looked up one after another at Gu Xun'er and the others who were breaking through, their eyes filled with envy and awe. Having ascended to Divine King, they now existed in a completely different realm from them.

A Divine King, huh?

Angel Yan's eyes filled with anticipation. She had already mastered a God-King Level Thunder Road and had one foot in the God King Realm. Once she adapted, she could break through swiftly.

Kasha and Hexi were in similar situations. Before long, Hongmeng would have three more Divine King powerhouses under his command.

Following the breakthroughs of Gu Xun'er and the other four, the river of time boiled, turbulent and powerful.

Between Heaven and Earth, auspicious vapors rose, and myriad lights cascaded. Heavenly flowers rained down, Golden Lotus Bananas sprang from the earth, and purple mist surged for thirty thousand miles. True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes danced in the sky, while Qilin and milu deer presented auspicious signs. Marvelous phenomena unfolded one after another.

It took a full half-hour for God's kingdom to quiet down.

「Inside the Temple.」

Gu Xun'er, Medusa, Yan Ruyu, Gu Yuena, and Golden Dragon King entered. They knelt on the ground and said reverently, "We pay our respects to Our God! Congratulations on Our God's breakthrough in cultivation! May Your holy life be boundless and Your Dao eternal!"

Hongmeng looked at the five Divine King-level subordinates before him and nodded with satisfaction. "Rise."

"Thank You, Our God!"

Gu Xun'er and the others stood up, awaiting orders.

"You've all done well," Hongmeng said. "Each of you will be bestowed with a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. I hope you all will guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to strive for further progress."

Hongmeng waved his mighty hand, and five Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures landed before each of them: the Immortal Longevity Sword, the Sky Desolation Holy Halberd, the Black Dragon God Cauldron, the Skyfire God Sword, and the Green Lotus Immortal Sword.
