"Would you like to consume one million units of faith to establish a Divine Kingdom?"
When Gu Qingyang's thoughts settled on the Divine Kingdom, information suddenly surfaced.
This time, Gu Qingyang did not hesitate and directly chose yes.
As his thought landed, he heard a rumbling in his mind, as if something had shattered.
Subsequently,
Gu Qingyang sensed a large amount of faith power converging toward a certain place.
By the time he reacted, Gu Qingyang found himself in a place that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
Looking down,
Gu Qingyang glanced at himself, seeing his familiar body in view. Then, with a mere thought, a mysterious power coalesced into a mirror in front of him.
From the mirror's reflection, Gu Qingyang saw a familiar, handsome young face.
This face was none other than his own from a past life.
Then,
Gu Qingyang surveyed the space before him. The ground beneath was condensed from yellow clouds, resembling the Immortal Realm he had heard about in his previous life. Despite the clouds' ethereal nature, they gave a sensation of being solid underfoot.
Looking up at the sky, countless faith threads wove together, transforming into drifting clouds.
Though no sun or moon was visible, it was as bright as daytime.
In the center of the space stood an Ancient Tree reaching into the heavens, seemingly supporting the entire space. When Gu Qingyang's gaze settled on the Ancient Tree, a sense of kinship arose within him.
At that moment,
A torrent of information flooded into Gu Qingyang's mind, leaving him stunned for a long while.
"Divine Kingdom... So this is what they call a Divine Kingdom!"
With just a thought, Gu Qingyang appeared above the Divine Kingdom, overlooking the land like a Divine Spirit, taking in the entire space of the Divine Kingdom.
This was the ability of the Divine Kingdom.
Within the Divine Kingdom, Gu Qingyang was akin to a genuine Divine Spirit. As long as he willed it, he could accomplish anything, provided he had sufficient faith power as a foundation.
The current Divine Kingdom space was essentially a complete replica of the external Divine Domain.
To expand the Divine Kingdom space, one must first expand the Divine Domain.
Then,
Gu Qingyang glanced at his personal data panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Divine Tree
Lifespan: 15/25000
Rank: Tier Three Perfected (34500/1000000)
Divine Kingdom: Tier One (14203520/10000000)
Innate Divine Techniques: Ancient Tree Roots (Tier Three), Divine Tree Spirit Root (Tier Three), Divine Fruit (Tier Three), Divine Whisper (Tier Three), Eye of True Sight (Tier Three), Divine Kingdom Domain (Tier Three)
...
[Divine Kingdom Domain: All beings within the range of the Divine Kingdom Domain below Tier Five are suppressed by two minor ranks]
[Divine Tree Spirit Root: As a revered Divine Spirit, you can refine all powers, including faith. Your foundation is unmatched by ordinary spirits]
The transformation of these two innate divine techniques made Gu Qingyang instantly understand their functions.
Among them,
The Divine Kingdom Domain is an advanced version of the Divine Domain.
The latter can only suppress one realm, while the former suppresses two realms, giving Gu Qingyang a greater advantage.
Then there is the existence of the Divine Tree Spirit Root.
The Divine Tree Spirit Root is much stronger than the Ancient Tree Spirit Root. Before establishing the Divine Kingdom, Gu Qingyang could merely contend with typical Tier Four superior fierce beasts without utilizing the Divine Domain.
But now, having transformed into the Divine Kingdom Spirit Root, he has the confidence to truly challenge a major realm, not inferior to ordinary Tier Four Perfected fierce beasts.
Moreover, the Divine Tree Spirit Root retains its original capability of refining Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Sun and Moon Essence, and it adds the ability to refine faith power.
In essence, this ability allows faith power to be converted into Evolution Value, enabling Gu Qingyang to make corresponding breakthroughs.
However, there is a requirement.
The faith power of a Tier One Divine Kingdom can only be converted into Evolution Value required for Tier One.
Gu Qingyang, currently at Tier Three Perfected, wants to convert faith power into Evolution Value, he needs to elevate the Divine Kingdom to Tier Three.
But the issue is,
Establishing a Tier One Divine Kingdom requires a million units of faith power; for a Tier One Divine Kingdom to advance to Tier Two, it demands ten million units, a tenfold increase.
"In other words, if I want to elevate the Divine Kingdom rank to Tier Three, I need a billion units of faith!"
Gu Qingyang murmured to himself.
A billion units of faith is a truly astronomical figure.
Through tireless efforts in manifesting before the people, he barely gathered a little more than ten million units of faith. Collecting a billion is no easy feat.
With this thought,
Gu Qingyang turned his gaze back to the Divine Kingdom before him, understanding that to collect more faith power, he must begin with the Divine Kingdom.
As his consciousness merged with the Divine Kingdom, a mysterious insight surged within him, enlightening him with many truths.
The true function of the Divine Kingdom is not merely converting faith power into Evolution Value, but to develop and transform.
Indeed.
And transform it does.
Within the Divine Kingdom, Gu Qingyang is a true Divine Spirit, able to control all the laws within the Divine Kingdom, accomplishing anything he desires.
Simply put, Gu Qingyang can transform anything within the Divine Kingdom.
The only issue is the required consumption of corresponding faith power, and the transformed items can achieve a maximum rank of Tier One, unable to break the Tier One boundary.
Subsequently,
With a mere thought, faith power converged, and soon a golden manual appeared before him.
A Tier One Supreme Cyan Yang Qi Refining Technique!
Ordinary people who cultivate this can achieve Qi Sensitivity, thereby truly stepping into cultivation, with an upper limit reaching Tier One Perfected!
Gu Qingyang's gaze fell on the golden manual before him, and the corresponding information emerged in his mind.
"Cyan Yang Qi Refining Technique!"
A hint of joy appeared on his face.
Deriving cultivation techniques was the first experiment Gu Qingyang conducted.
Subsequently,
He also attempted to transform divine soldiers, elixirs, and even planes and missiles. Whether cold or hot weapons, Gu Qingyang transformed them all.
He discovered that transforming all Tier One items requires different amounts of faith power, depending on rank.
Tier One inferior grade requires one thousand faith units.
Tier One medium grade requires two thousand faith units.
Tier One superior grade requires three thousand faith units.
Tier One supreme grade requires five thousand faith units.
Among them, secret techniques are not disposable items, unlike non-reading materials, which are consumables.
So-called consumables, once used by one person, cannot be used by another, unlike cultivation techniques that can be taught to multiple people.
Looking at the many transformed items before him, a plan spontaneously formed in Gu Qingyang's mind.
"Since I have established a Divine Kingdom, it should be no different from the mythical Divine Spirits. Being a Divine Spirit, I can do what they ought to do.
Previously, my only method to harvest faith was by manifesting before people. But now, the way I harvest faith is entirely different.
As long as I utilize the functions of the Divine Kingdom appropriately, I will have an endless source of faith, and breaking through to Tier Four in a short time will be no problem!"
Gu Qingyang's eyes sparkled, and his inner plan became increasingly perfect.
Currently, the vast majority of believers are General Believers. There are only a handful of True Believers, and none have truly become a Saint Apprentice like the Evergreen Ancient Tree.
Harvesting faith requires not only a large number of believers as a base but also sufficiently devout faith ranks.
As this thought landed,
Gu Qingyang looked at his data panel.
"A Tier One Divine Kingdom is too lacking. For now, let's elevate the Divine Kingdom to Tier Two first!"
