171: Chapter 170 Igniting the Divine Fire

"Alright, it's just going to Jinghai to study, not like I'm never coming back. If we keep talking, it'll be pitch black outside."

Gu Han directly opened the car door and plopped inside.

Gu Yanxiao stood outside the car with half a cigarette pinched between his fingers, his brows tightly furrowed. "Jinghai is a place where you don't know anyone. Take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, Dad, I know what I'm doing." Gu Han waved his hand.

Tang Yanran leaned over and forcefully stuffed a storage card into Gu Han's jacket pocket. "Inside are dozens of catties of cured meat and braised beef that you love to eat. If you aren't used to the food outside, take them out and make them yourself. It's dry over there, drink more hot water!"

Gu Han nodded helplessly and turned to look at his younger sister, Gu Xin, who was leaning against the car window.

"Study hard and take good care of home. I left Mom one hundred million, consider it a reward for you."

Gu Xin was stunned for two seconds, then abruptly raised her head and jumped straight up in place. "Yay! Leave the family to me, you can go with peace of mind!"

Gu Han had black lines all over his head and closed the car window.

In fact, he was well-off now and fully capable of pulling out one hundred thousand yuan to help his sister buy a quota for early Awakening.

But after careful calculation, he felt there was no need. Cultural studies were equally important in this world. If Gu Xin had ordinary Aptitude, she could live a stable life in Jiangcheng.

But if she were truly awakened with a Heaven-Defying skill, without sufficient strength to protect herself, it would instead be a troublesome matter. Safety and peace were best.

A matter of a few months sooner or later, it was better to let her steadily test into university before Awakening.

The luxury hover car started smoothly and merged into the traffic of the main road.

"To the airport." Tang Wuying instructed the driver.

Neither of them were children anymore, and they had long ago rejected the family's proposal to drop them off at the airport.

Technology in this world was extremely advanced, and going out didn't require lugging big and small bags at all. A single storage card could hold many things.

The hover car sped along all the way. Gu Han looked at the rapidly retreating street views of Jiangcheng outside the window, feeling a bit emotional in his heart. Having been in this world for so long, this was his first time truly going on a long journey in the true sense.

The car drove directly into the VIP exclusive passage of Jiangcheng Airport.

The metal dome overhead slid open to both sides, and a ring of blue light lit up at the bottom of the seats inside the car. They directly detached from the car body, rose upward, and smoothly connected to the suspension rail inside the airport.

The two passed through the streaming light tunnel; the entire process had not a single bump, being quiet and swift.

In less than two minutes, the two seats stopped steadily inside an extremely luxurious private waiting lounge.

The seatbelts automatically sprang open.

A flight attendant wearing a form-fitting uniform walked toward them, her attitude extremely respectful. "Respected guests, this flight will be served by me throughout. How may I help you?"

"Cut out the fancy stuff." Tang Wuying was so sleepy he couldn't even open his eyes. He casually fished a black card from his pocket and handed it over. "Go get two of the best hibernation pods. We need to catch up on sleep, and wake us up when we get off the plane."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, two sci-fi-feeling silvery-white egg-shaped hibernation pods were pushed over.

Flying from Jiangcheng to Jinghai still took a few hours, so Gu Han didn't talk nonsense and directly lay down inside the pod.

The translucent pod cover slowly closed, instantly isolating all external noise completely, and a faint calming fragrance permeated inside the pod.

Gu Han closed his eyes, ignoring the commotion of reality, and sank his consciousness completely into the Divine Kingdom to continue building his marine ecosystem.

Probably because he had been running continuously lately and hadn't rested well, Gu Han quickly felt somewhat drowsy and fell fast asleep.

Inside the Divine Kingdom, a heaven-shaking and earth-overturning change was currently underway.

Across the vast land of 330,000 square kilometers, howling winds blew, and heavy clouds gathered in the sky. The massive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi formed a huge funnel-shaped vortex, and the very bottom of the funnel directly faced the Divine Kingdom Core area.

Gu Han was awakened by the commotion in the Divine Kingdom. As soon as he descended, he sensed an unusual energy fluctuation.

It was the Spirit Root Mushroom People!

They were making a Breakthrough to Tier 5 Transcendence!

At the very same time the Spirit Root Mushroom People completed their transformation, a pillar of Qi shooting straight into the clouds erupted from the direction of the Scripture Pavilion.

Qu Nimade's robes fluttered as he sat cross-legged atop the Scripture Pavilion. The surrounding spiritual power surged, shattering that layer of firm shackles in one fell swoop.

He also followed suit with a Breakthrough to Tier 5 Transcendence. This was probably related to Gu Han's Divine Kingdom; as an outsider who had lived here for hundreds of years without breaking through, it was likely because this side of the Divine Kingdom didn't have Tier 5 yet.

With the birth of these two Tier 5 transcendental powers, the space of the entire Divine Kingdom expanded to 340,000 square kilometers.

Believers of various races stopped the work in their hands one after another, worshipping devoutly as songs of praise and glorification continuously came from their mouths.

Under Gu Han's gaze, above the Divine Kingdom Core, a wisp of illusory flame ignited out of thin air.

At first, the flame was only as big as a fingernail, transparent and colorless. But as the massive Power Of Faith from the believers below continuously poured in, the volume of the flame rapidly expanded.

Its color underwent a marvelous transformation in just a few seconds, changing from monochromatic to multicolored, and finally settling into a seven-colored flame.

This was the symbol of a demigod — — Igniting the Divine Fire!

Gu Han gazed at that colorful flame, finding that the connection between himself and his believers had become clearer than ever before.

The seven-colored flames respectively corresponded to: the Ant-man Race, Mushroom Person, Sapiens, Yanhuo Clan, Elf Race, Cyst Demon, and Titan Race. All of these were transcendental races within the Divine Kingdom.

Gu Han remembered that there were also Transcendental Believers in the Kuanglan Race's Divine Kingdom. It was estimated that the Kuanglan Race might have been due to exclusive believers.

Rays of light varying in thickness extended from the top of every believer's head, crossing space and connecting directly to the Divine Kingdom Core.

The thicker and brighter the ray of light, the purer the believer's faith.

Gu Han discovered that the colors of the rays of light for each race were different.

Over on the side of the Elf Race led by Ier and the Dwarf Race led by Barton, the rays of light were incomparably thick and robust.

The Ant-man Race was even more exaggerated; tens of millions of rays of light gathered everywhere in the Divine Kingdom into a long river of faith, firmly connected to the Divine Kingdom Core.

However, amidst this brilliant faith, there was also some discordant black.

For those believers who shirked work, harbored sinister intentions, or were dissatisfied, the connecting threads were as thin as gossamer, and some were even intermittent.

Who was loyal and who was feigning was clear at a glance.

"Kind of interesting."

With a thought, the faith rays were shielded. Gu Han silently memorized the areas with dim rays of light, planning to give them some special care later.

He opened the smart assistant to check the Power Of Faith statistics.
