Chapter 669 — Divine Path & Opportunity

A few minutes later, a desolate expression appeared on the Divine Emperor’s face.

Elaouthr stood far away, observing the Kingdom of God, while Alpha remained a few feet away from Liora, protecting her against potential attacks.

As for Liora, she currently remained with her eyes closed.

Her mind worked tirelessly to digest the information she had just received.

Everything was about the Kingdom of God—the foundation of the power system she had obtained from the Divine Emperor.

As she went through the power system’s contents, she was able to piece things together.

Information the Divine Emperor had told her about and information he had kept a secret constantly clashed, giving her a rough understanding of this power system and its methods.

It took quite a while before Liora opened her eyes again.

The moment she did, a brilliant light flashed across her pupils.

She couldn’t help but smack her lips, thinking that she had made yet another great discovery.

"The Cosmic Universe and the existence of Eras and destructions are perfect for the creation and experimentation with different power systems."

"Although those power systems may not reach their peak and possibly contend against that of the Devils, their breadth is far stronger."

So far, Liora had obtained several power systems during her stay in the Cosmic Universe, far more than any other world she had visited before.

The main one belonged to the Awakeners, which was what had led to the creation of the Cosmic Sea.

Yet besides that, there was also the power system of the Gods in the Blood Forest Realm, that of Elaouthr’s Era, which focused on demon bloodlines and evolution, and that of the cultivators.

Now, a new one had been added to these.

Divine Path.

This was the name Liora gave it.

Its name sounded similar to that of Blood Forest Realm’s Gods.

Yet what was different was that it focused entirely on the creation and subsequent development of the Kingdom of Gods.

It resembled the World of Heart Liora had created in the past, but one was formed through the power of the mind, while the other was formed through pure faith.

It was difficult to claim who was stronger.

But for the current Liora, the Divine Path seemed far more suitable.

The moment she came into contact with it, a nascent idea formed in her mind.

She understood why her intuition had warned her that this place contained her opportunity for advancement.

It was not because of the treasures, nor even because of the Divine Emperor.

Rather, it was due to the Divine Path... and the faith that this Kingdom of God had secretly accumulated.

Liora’s eyes narrowed. With a thought, she rose to her feet, much to Alpha’s relief.

Ignoring Elaouthr, who was fully engrossed in studying the Kingdom of God, she glanced at the Divine Emperor and waved her hand.

"Lead me there."

She didn’t need to say anything more.

Although her words were vague, the Divine Emperor immediately realized what "there" referred to.

He was somewhat reluctant to give up the result of his billions of years of efforts.

But in the end, he swallowed any disagreements he might have had in his heart and nodded his head.

The space in front of him parted, condensing into a small golden door that functioned exactly like a spatial passage.

"The faith is stored within the core of the Kingdom of God.", the Divine Emperor explained and led Liora in.

The moment Liora stepped into the core, a sea of golden illusory wisps entered her vision.

It looked bottomless, each wisp swirling endlessly around a tiny, spherical orb.

For a moment, Liora felt as though she had walked into a golden sandstorm.

Thankfully, the Divine Emperor shattered that illusion.

Knowing that he could not hide it even if he wanted to, he took the initiative to explain.

"This is the core of the Kingdom of God. If this were an ordinary world, it would be where the World Origin gathers."

"For the Kingdom of God, it is where faith gathers."

He let out a sigh.

"Over the years, an incredible amount of faith has been born and guided here. Only a tiny percentage of it is consumed to sustain the kingdom’s existence and ensure its operation."

"Another part is consumed to support my own existence. As for the rest of it..."

The Divine Emperor stared at the swirling golden sea.

"It gathers and is stored here. Then, it can be used as a consumable."

"Whether it is to strengthen the Kingdom of God’s foundation or to burn it to temporarily increase my strength, it has many wonderful functions."

In reality, Liora had no need for his explanation.

She had already learned everything she needed to know from the methods she had already obtained.

Even so, she didn’t interrupt the Divine Emperor and let him continue.

It was only several minutes later, when he had finished everything he needed to say and showed a look of discomfort, that she finally took action.

"Stay outside. I’ll have my subordinate protect me during this time.", she said, glancing at Alpha waiting outside the golden gate.

"As for me, I’ll stay here for now."

The Divine Emperor understood her meaning.

Even with his composure, he nearly burst into tears.

The vast amount of faith he had managed to accumulate over so many years was about to be stolen!

This was a grave matter!

Unfortunately, he knew there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Well, nothing he was willing to do.

He had already surrendered once, showing that he didn’t have the spine to risk his death and truly fight against Liora.

Now, he merely gave up once more.

"Okay.", he sighed and left the room in a hurry, not taking a single look behind his back, as though afraid he would be unable to suppress himself and fight against her.

Watching him leave, Liora remained silent.

It was only when she was the only person left in this space that her indifferent expression faded.

A smile replaced it as she glanced at the faith swirling around her with excitement.

She knew that her opportunity had come!

Not only to practice this never-seen-before power system, but more importantly, to use it as fuel for her advancement.

Liora did not hesitate.

Her mind stirred.

The Cosmic Sea within her trembled as the contents of the Divine Path’s methods flashed through her mind.

The next moment, the golden faith surged.

It began pouring into her body at an astonishing rate.
