Chapter 714: God Nation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A God Nation was the nest of a God, where they accepted the souls of believers and concealed their true bodies.
Other than a few Gods like Death God Hess, nearly all of the Gods constructed their God Nation in the God World, as it had the most suitable environment and the Gods could unleash their full potential.
In the Main World, a God Nations’ rules would be suppressed, and even the petitioners’ souls would gradually wither away. Unless they were a foolish God, they would definitely not do something like this.
However, currently, and contrary to convention, Sun God Ramon had brought his God Nation into the Main World, even merging it with a part of the Demon Territory. From this, he obtained the convenience of a partial home grounds, which was sufficient to hide from Fang Yuan’s investigation.
Unfortunately, this was still exposed by an accident.
“This is… Ramon’s God Nation?”
Fang Yuan walked the land.
The entire land seemed to emit a faint glow. It was a completely different style compared to the Purgatory and Main World.
There was a huge cornfield nearby with a very irregular shape. It seemed that nobody was maintaining it, but a type of wheat seemingly made from gold grew inside.
What was more astonishing was that they were all generally as tall as a person and as dense as a forest.
“Golden wheat?”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan laughed.
It was rumored that when humanity first appeared, their physiques were frail and they suffered many natural disasters, nearly causing them to go extinct.
It was then that Sun God Ramon descended and bestowed the golden wheat and seeds to humanity.
This type of wheat grew rapidly and could be harvested after seven days. Their output was very high, and only with this was humanity able to survive.
After that, the golden wheat deteriorated and became ordinary varieties like barley and oats, while the Harvest Goddess was also born under this tide of hope.
As such, Sun God Ramon was not only the world’s original God, but the source of all the Gods!
Unfortunately, even for such a favourite of the world world, he was finally unable to escape the destiny of being abandoned.
Now, Fang Yuan had already confirmed that although Ramon was the original God, he was not the Creator!
He was created by the world, not the one who created the world. This point was important!
Thus, when the world wanted to abandon him, it was done so without hesitation.
“Furthermore, this God Nation is a little too desolate!”
Fang Yuan released his spiritual will, but did not even detect a breath of life.
Even though a God Nation was unsuitable for the living, there should at least be fluctuations from the petitioners’ souls.
However, other than the huge wheat forest, the entire God Nation was abnormally empty, as if all the living had disappeared.
“It seems that they should be at the core position!”
Fang Yuan focused on one direction and started moving rapidly.
…
Whoosh!
With a cold look on his face, Zorro motionlessly watched a huge pyramid collapse in front of him.
This pyramid was magnificently constructed. Every single brick was actually made of gold.
If it was placed outside, this was definitely a huge fortune that would drive anybody insane, but it was merely commonplace here.
“Wrong again?” Zorro muttered “It’s rumored that the Sun God resides at the peak of a golden pyramid. Inside his God Nation, there are a total of ninety-nine of them!”
Usually, it would be very easy to investigate with a God’s ability.
But this place was Ramon’s God Nation. Even though it had fused with the Main World, its rules were beginning to unravel, and its restrictions toward outsiders was constantly easing, they still tenaciously existed.
“Furthermore, even if the Sun God isn’t a God passionate about developing believers, where are the petitioners that have accumulated from countless ages?”
Petitioners were the souls of believers after they died.
In this world, after they died, people’s souls would head toward the Netherworld and undergo inspection in the Death God Nation.
Afterwards, those believers who belonged to Gods would be directed toward their respective God Nation and then transformed into petitioners, obtaining some degree of longevity. They would live on happily within the God Nation, away from hunger and disaster. This was the agreement between Gods and their believers. The believers gave their faith and obtained the right to ascend into a God Nation after death!
However, the Sun God’s God Nation was currently nearly empty.
“Are they gathering somewhere?” A flicker of bright light instantly flashed through Zorro’s eyes. “That must be where the Sun God’s true body lies… I must obtain the Sun Godhood. Jay, although you were one step ahead of me, the final winner will be me!”
The God’s mind stirred as he immediately looked toward a direction thoughtfully.
“The Sun God’s God Nation has appeared!”
Many Death God believers assembled, and under the leadership of a priest wearing a lamb skull necklace, they came to the bright door and started praying. “Lord, with your will as guidance, even the sun’s brilliance cannot obstruct us!”
Death aura appeared.
Within this dark red haze, Jay’s figured slowly emerged and resolutely entered the bright door.
“Lord’s oracle!”
After the figure completely disappeared, the priest rose from his knees and solemnly announced to the believers, “After entering, kill all the heretics!”
Instantly, all of the Death God believers had a cold look in their eyes as they entered the bright door.
…
“So, space rules, huh?” Fang Yuan looked at the pyramid in front and suddenly laughed. “This entire God Nation has already been turned into a giant maze! Even those pyramids are traps. If I ran about blindly, it would only endlessly shift, and I’d never be able to contact with the true core!
“To reach the area that’s been concealed, I can either directly crack them or rely on heaven defying luck.”
Even if it was called luck, it was actually a manipulation of the world’s will.
Evidently, Fang Yuan was not optimistic about his luck as he directly sat down cross-legged and started calculating the spaces rules of this God Nation.
As a Dream Master that had transversed through many realms, with his foundation and sufficient time, it was entirely possible for him to crack the obstructions here.
“Amanda, we’ve struck gold!”
Clegg looked at the vast pyramids in front, his eyes about to pop out.
“The rumored Sun God pyramids where every brick is made of pure gold. Just a tenth, no! A hundredth is enough purchase many spellcasting materials. It’s more than sufficient for me to reach all the way to a Legend sorcerer!” Michael was not much better and about to salivate.
“We don’t have anywhere to keep them. Even if we took as many as we could, how many could we actually take?” Amanda rolled her eyes. “This is such a bizarre place. There’s nobody at all. Furthermore, Zorro, Lauder, and Luhn have all disappeared.”
“In the nations of the Gods, anything can happen.” Michael slightly recovered from his fanaticism. “What about the rumored petitioners and the Sun God guards? Where are they?”
“They’re probably guarding the Sun God. If the God Nation has crashed into the mortal world, this God must be facing huge trouble.” Clegg analyzed.
However, Amanda was almost unable to hear this.
She caressed the surface of the golden pyramid, and a weird feeling abruptly appeared in her heart.
Her fingers unconsciously traced a line and drew a strange arc.
Kaboom!
Suddenly, bursts of golden light gathered and transformed into a bright door, quickly swallowing up Amanda.
“Mechanism?!”
Clegg and Michael were frantic as they charged at the wall and started banging. Unfortunately, they were unable to find anything.
“Where is… this?”
Amanda shook her slightly dizzy head and looked at the bizarre environment around her.
Carrying a magnificent and vast glow, there was a large golden mountain that was nearly able to hold up the heavens and support the earth.
Rows of petitioners with translucent bodies formed orderly groups and were scaling the large golden mountain.
“This is the location of the Sun God’s true body!”
An elderly man wearing a long golden robe with a solemn expression suddenly appeared in front of Amanda.
“You are… ” Amanda’s pupils shrank as she quickly retreated, the bow in her hands ejecting out the moonblade.
“Do not be anxious, child. I am just a useless old man!” The elderly man laughed amiably. “You can call me George!”
“George?!” Amanda quizzically looked at the old man. Her entire body suddenly shook as she thought of the statue erected in the plaza of the Sacred Empire. “You… You’re the first Pope of the Sun, Saint George?!”
“Saint George? I haven’t been called that in a long time!” Pope George laughed as he suddenly walked forward and grabbed Amanda’s arms. “Come with me!”
He had obtained the recognition of the Sun God and could obviously teleport within the God Nation.
The surrounding scenery changed, and they arrived at the peak of the large golden mountain.
At the summit of the mountain, there was a giant pond with boiling golden liquid. There was even a giant figure sleeping inside.
The orderly rows of petitioners leaped into the giant pond one after another, a happy look on their faces as their bodies slowly melted.
“God… become one with us!”
“Sun God… you are the light. You are everything!”
“May you quickly awaken… ”
…
Thoughts about sacrifice and tributes circled Amanda’s mind, making her visibly moved. “This is…”
“The Lord has suffered a serious injury. Us petitioners chose to sacrifice ourselves to help the Lord recover quicker!” Saint George spoke frankly. “But now, a huge danger has come!”
He waved his hand, and many images immediately appeared in the sky. They were the scenes of two great Evil Gods investigating the God Nation.
“But… what can I do?” Amanda was a little surprised. “I can’t even fight Lauder!”
“You can. That is because you are very unique and carry the world’s will. The world led you here!”
Saint George’s eyes glowed.
Although he knew of destiny’s arrangements, he was obviously unwilling for his Lord God to disappear and had to make a last desperate stand.
“Now, I will send you into the God Pond’s depths. You can draw support from the power there to stop our enemies!”
Saint George subtly detected that there was a possibility of destiny sacrificing the Sun God.
But the current of destiny’s river was mighty and powerful, the general direction difficult to reverse. However, the small matters could be changed.
Such as… what if the internal strife between the Sons of Purgatory allowed the Sun God to obtain sufficient time to awaken in advance.
