"Enthronement of Gods?" Zhao Qi snorted lightly, and when it came to the Enthronement of Gods, the first person that came to mind was the one surnamed Jiang, named Shang, and styled Ziya. He only came out of seclusion in his nineties, only to enjoy a life of wealth and nobility, but never the chance to become an immortal, a truly pitiful figure.
"Yes, if Your Excellency hadn't opened four more worlds in the past half month, I wouldn't have thought about this matter." The one called the Overgod, who was actually a split soul of Zhao Qi, couldn't help but complain.
Zhao Qi also felt guilty, after all, the task he originally gave to the Overgod was just to manage the rules of a virtual world. However, due to a lack of divine power, Zhao Qi opened two more virtual worlds, which tripled the Overgod's workload, almost causing the Overgod to explode on the spot!
Later, Zhao Qi, due to the need for martial arts practice, wanted to open a world of Yangshen. If not for the Overgod's desperate resistance, the Overgod would have been long gone! Even so, Zhao Qi opened a Dazhansi副本 world, and to reduce the Overgod's pressure and make the副本 more realistic, Zhao Qi invested 16 points of divine power! It's worth noting that opening a virtual world only cost Zhao Qi 3 to 4 points of divine power.
However, the effort and the reward were proportional. Just that small副本, when operated daily, provided Zhao Qi with divine power equivalent to the three virtual worlds! Realizing this, an excited Zhao Qi opened another副本 world. This time, he went all out, using 30 points of divine power! But it was all for nothing, as Zhao Qi discovered that his creation divine essence could only accept the feedback of divine power from four worlds. Any more would be wasted! To increase the limit, he would have to wait until his creation divine essence level was upgraded. What a sad story...
"Your Excellency, are you listening to me?" "I know, I know." Zhao Qi waved his hand, "How many gods do you want to enthrone? Don't even think about 365 Celestial Deities or 84,000 Star Deities. If that were the case, my divine power wouldn't last."
"Are you serious? Even if you were crazy enough, where would I find so many people for you to enthrone?" The Overgod almost jumped off his divine throne at Zhao Qi's nonsense. "Let me tell you, my idea is a trinity: Creation, Fate, and Destruction, the three supreme rulers of the entire multiverse. As long as these three deities are in place, I can at least reduce my workload by half. If I can also entrust the six basic elements—earth, fire, wind, water, light, and darkness—to deities, that would be even better. As for human deities like War and Desire, they can be optional; they don't affect my management of the world."
"Got it. I have a plan." Zhao Qi thought for a moment, having a rough idea in mind.
"I will create a virtual multiverse, the undisputed God of Creation. The Overgod will manage the universe, weaving the fates of all beings, making him the God of Fate. The God of Destruction is a bit tricky. I can't split another soul, that would be too much for me. The God of Destruction must cleanse the multiverse of sin, an indispensable role, but he must be extremely clear-headed, with a complete set of values. Otherwise, if he goes crazy, my losses would be enormous. No, no, I need to find someone more reliable."
Zhao Qi's thoughts raced, and suddenly he had an idea. "But if it's him, it should work." Zhao Qi thought for a moment, reached out, and tore open the space in the temple, leaping into it. "I'll be right back, Overgod, wait a moment..."
As soon as Zhao Qi stepped into this world, he saw row after row of bookshelves, each filled with countless books. There were at least a thousand rows, and even more that he couldn't see! At the very back of these bookshelves was a small desk, where an old man in a scholar's robe was reading a book.
"Dinair, are you being a literary elder again?" Zhao Qi couldn't help but laugh as he saw the old man. Ever since Zhao Qi spent 30 points of divine power to create the Dinair (Deneir) divine realm副本, whenever Zhao Qi came, Dinair was always sitting at the desk reading a book, never in any other form!
"Oh? The God of Creation has come." The old man saw Zhao Qi and quickly stood up, bowing respectfully.
"No, no, I just came to visit." Zhao Qi felt very uncomfortable seeing the old man bow. After all, he had reached this point thanks to Dinair's legacy. Without Dinair, Zhao Qi would be nothing!
"God of Creation, you jest. I am merely a shadow of the literary god Dinair (Deneir) that you created, not Dinair himself." The old man was not bothered by the fact that he was created, speaking calmly.
"That's not quite right. You are created by me, but your mind contains all of Dinair's memories, and your personality is based on Dinair. In a sense, you are the literary god Dinair (Deneir)! Who could oppose that?"
"God of Creation, your words are too domineering. In this world, who could oppose your decision? Whatever you say is the truth." The old man didn't fully agree with Zhao Qi, showing little interest. Since his creation, he had been thinking about who he truly was—whether he was the literary god Dinair (Deneir) or just a shadow. He sat in the divine realm, thinking constantly, but could never figure it out.
Zhao Qi understood the old man's thoughts but had no good solution. He couldn't reshape his personality. "Dinair, I came today because I have a task for you."
"God of Creation, please speak. I will complete any task you give me."
"I hope you can be the God of Destruction in this virtual world!" Dinair "......"
Before Dinair could respond, Zhao Qi asked, "Dinair, what do you think of this world?"
"Incredible, to create a world out of nothing, this is truly a divine skill. Even among the gods, there are no more than a few who can do this."
"Then, being the God of Destruction in this world shouldn't be a slight to you, right?"
"Not at all, not at all," Dinair's eyes gradually brightened. Achieving the supreme position of destruction in this world, even if it was just an illusion, could be turned into reality if the world became real. With such an opportunity, Dinair was definitely willing!
"That's good. You can not only be the King of Words and Images but also the Lord of Destruction and Sin." Zhao Qi patted Dinair's shoulder, entrusting everything to him. Dinair "......"
"By the way, how is the compilation of the knowledge from other worlds? Can those extraordinary powers be used in the main world?" Zhao Qi asked.
"Um, I have discussed this with the Overgod and the AI. We believe that extraordinary powers are difficult to use in the main world due to the lack of necessary elements."
"What elements? Can I create them directly?"
"Very difficult." Dinair shook his head. "If you want to create these elements directly, you would have to oppose the fundamental laws of the universe, and you might be crushed instantly!"
"Then what should we do? Have you thought of a solution?"
"Um, yes." Dinair nodded. "This was the Overgod's idea. Since we can't do it directly, we can take a roundabout approach. We can place all the mysteries in your divine artifact. When you guide the spirits of the people to the world you created, the artifact will become part of this universe. This way, we can do a lot more, and the mysteries and extraordinary powers will no longer be dreams!"
