The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 566 - Divine Name

The strange phenomena faded away, and Xu Hai stood there with no visible trace of a God King’s might. He looked no different from a wise scholar or sage.

Han Wu was the first to congratulate him. “Congratulations for ascending to a God King!”

The others swiftly followed. “We greet the new God King!”

“The last time our college produced a God King was decades ago. The ascension of another God King is a great honor for our college.”

“God King Xu Hai, may we ask which Divine Name you’ve received?”

At that question, many Major Gods perked up. They were also eager to hear the answer.

A God King’s Divine Name was the source of their power. For example, the Blazing God King’s Divine Name was tied to fire, and the greater fire he commanded, the more powerful he was.

There was also the White Mane God King whom Han Wu had offended last time. Despite his title, his Divine Name wasn’t White Mane but Commerce. The reason was that he had founded the Supreme Merchant Group and conducted trade across other civilizations to increase his own strength.

Naturally, everyone was keen to learn Xu Hai’s Divine Name.

Xu Hai smiled warmly before replying, “It’s Wisdom.”

“Wisdom! It’s actually Wisdom!”

“Quick, let me check. When was the previous God King of Wisdom born... 30,000 years ago? And that God King was the leader of all God Kings!”

“To think that the God King of Wisdom would appear once more after 30,000 years. This is a blessing for the entire civilization.”

Han Wu wasn’t sure what Divine Names were, so he discreetly looked them up online. He learned that Divine Names were divided into categories and tiers. Those associated with different attributes and elements, such as fire and ice, were ranked slightly above average. More obscure ones, like Commerce, ranked slightly below average. The highest-ranking Divine Names were associated with Life, Death, Destruction, Creation, Light, Darkness, and War. Wisdom was also listed among the top tier.

Han Wu also discovered that the God King of Wisdom would awaken the Eyes of Wisdom, which could see through anything. A sudden realization struck him. Perhaps Xu Hai had chosen him as his student because of it. Still, how had Xu Hai managed to do so even while he was only a Major God?

Han Wu assumed that maybe that had just been a sign that Xu Hai’s Eyes of Wisdom were already awakening.

After accepting congratulations and offering his thanks, God King Xu Hai approached Han Wu. “So, you finally had your fun adventuring outside?”

Han Wu smiled sheepishly. Whenever he caused trouble outside, Xu Hai was always the one who cleaned up the aftermath. Han Wu suspected that his lack of punishment for skipping so many days of classes came not only from his strength and status but also from Xu Hai quietly intervening on his behalf.

“Time to head back. I’ve gained many insights after ascending to a God King, and I can explain them to you,” Xu Hai said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The other Major Gods were envious. A lecture from a God King was a rare opportunity that everyone desired, but only Han Wu held that privilege right now.

Han Wu nodded. “I do have some questions that need your guidance.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two departed through teleportation.

Long after they vanished, one of the Major Gods suddenly realized what had happened. “Wait. Isn’t there a barrier around the college that prevents anyone from teleporting in and out? How come the two of them could do so?”

“Bro, are you serious?” another replied. “He’s a God King, and the God King of Wisdom to boot. What kind of barrier could possibly stop him?”

“I’m so jealous! The mentor is powerful, and the student is stupidly talented. This era belongs to Xu Hai.”

“I can guarantee that he will be the next chancellor.”

...

Meanwhile, Xu Hai and Han Wu returned to the former’s office. Xu Hai waved his arm, and the entire office turned into a limitless pasture. A single stone table and two stone chairs materialized before Han Wu.

A warm breeze carried the scent of fresh grass. Han Wu felt much more relaxed here.

Xu Hai summoned a teapot and two tea cups out of nowhere. “Tell me everything you’ve experienced so far.”

Han Wu quickly poured some tea for Xu Hai and recounted the events at the Blood Coliseum. Xu Hai listened in silence, sipping calmly, until Han Wu described killing Faido with the Origin of Mutation’s help. He immediately spat out his tea.

Faido was a World life form, a being equal to a God King, and a young man had killed him just like that. It was embarrassing!

At the same time, it gave Xu Hai a new understanding of Han Wu’s strength. Even though Han Wu was at the level of a Heavenrender life form, his true power could rival that of a World life form. In practical terms, Han Wu could contend with God Kings.

Xu Hai quickly dismissed the thought. Even if Han Wu possessed a World life form’s strength, he could only fight against individuals like Faido. Against genuine God Kings, Han Wu would still need all his effort just to eliminate their units, let alone confront the God King itself.

Han Wu listened to his lecture carefully and asked about how to raise his strength to the World rank.

For Xu Hai, who had already ascended as the God King of Wisdom, the question was simple. He clearly laid out the path. The fastest method was to research the Divine Rings of World life forms, which contained the fundamental powers of the world. The deeper Han Wu’s understanding became, the closer he would move toward becoming a World life form.

Xu Hai also explained that once someone from the Divine Civilization reached the World rank, they would generate a small world unique to themselves, known as a Microcosm. This Microcosm would then automatically merge with their divine realm. When that happened, the divine realm’s stability would drastically increase, while the Microcosm would develop at an astonishing rate.

Han Wu was elated and hoped to reach the World rank soon. He was eager to see what would happen to his divine realm.

Han Wu took out the Divine Ring that Faido left behind to research it. The Umbral Mouse had plundered it before he vanished. Han Wu wanted to become a World life form as soon as possible, though he understood that cultivation wasn’t something that happened overnight.

After hearing Han Wu describe his experiences, Xu Hai grew interested in the Death Tower and expressed a desire to inspect it himself.

Han Wu readily agreed. Using his authority as the owner of the Blood Coliseum, he transported both himself and Xu Hai back to the coliseum.

The Blood Coliseum had grown especially lively of late. With the recent introduction of one-on-one matches, many established contenders decided to try them out, having grown bored with the usual group bouts. Some even fought through several consecutive rounds in a single session.

Then there was the insanely popular Death Tower, which Han Wu had created. As of today, 346,000 challengers were waiting for their turn. Many were already impatient from all the waiting, and Marks was busy optimizing it. Unfortunately, optimization required time.

Xu Hai examined the Death Tower’s structure and immediately identified its flaws. Since his most excellent student had created it, Xu Hai would not allow the tower to remain imperfect. He activated his God King power and enveloped the Death Tower in it. With the power of wisdom, a brand-new Death Tower started to take shape.
