Chapter 975: Sharp Turn (Part 1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The Human God System’s God Kingdom, “Pioneer Country,” was colorful and joyous today; a large number of beautiful decorations brightened up the entire God Kingdom, which was previously known as the Court of Victory. There was a calm and happy atmosphere in the air and no sense of dissent or enmity to be found anywhere.

Ever since the God of Aristocracy had convinced the human gods to change the direction of progress for the humans, the atmosphere and vibes in the Human God System’s God Kingdom had changed. Previously, it had been a toxic and aggressive atmosphere, but that had been slowly replaced with a positive environment of growth and building. To the adventurers who had developed this new world, conquering others through the use of magic and weapons was not really a good idea. The God of Aristocracy did not really support it as well. Instead, the God of Aristocracy encouraged these pioneers to use their smart brains and capitalize on the internal conflicts among landowners. They could use the excuse of economic and military matters to gain an advantage and take over as the leader, from which they would then have new land under their control.

Of course, this could not be said to be a fully honest or legitimate plan, either. However, in using such a strategy, they faced less resistance. Furthermore, after they attracted the indigenous people, the pioneers would be able to rule in a much more stable fashion and did not really have to worry about being attacked or overthrown by the people.

There were some who still insisted on using the traditional way of conquering, using weapons and magic. To these people, the God of Aristocracy did not directly oppose them, but they also did not render much support either. If they were able to manage their matters well, that would be to their advantage. If things went wrong and the people lost their lives, they could only blame themselves for their greediness. That would not concern the God of Aristocracy.

The brain was a good thing to use, but not everyone utilized it well all the time.

Today, the God of Aristocracy was officially ascending the throne as the Human God System’s Master God. The Human God System had reached out to several God Systems as well as several road gods and even many evil gods as well as famous demi-gods to invite them to attend this ceremony. It was as if they were hailing the god of the skies or a true hero.

There were only two main people who were not invited, the two great Divine Powers, the Master of Order and the Master of Void Mask.

Towards this, everyone was clear as to why. The Human God System’s previous Master God, the God of Light, had fallen after he had become a great Divine Power due to the allied attack of the Master of Order and the Master of Void Mask. Although logic stated that a great Divine Power would not die so easily, one was still unsure as to when he would resurrect and reappear.

The Human God System was not extremely petty about the past, but even so, they could not convince themselves to let the past go given that their previous Master God had been killed by those two great Divine Powers. They thus did not invite the Master of Order and the Master of Void Mask here to watch the ceremony today.

No matter how strong the God of Aristocracy was, they were still merely a Divine Power. Among the Divine Powers, they were also only considered rather average and would not be able to defeat peers such as the God of Justice. Inviting other Divine Powers to this ceremony was already pushing the limits of the Human God System, and if they proceeded to invite great Divine Powers, it would steal the limelight from the God of Aristocracy. At that point, many would try to catch the attention of the great Divine Powers and forget about the main star, the God of Aristocracy, causing him to lose face.

Since they did not invite the Master of Void Mask, naturally, some of the gods who followed him did not attend as well. The Master of Void Mask was well connected, and the gods under him were rather powerful individually as well. Although some were often labeled and teased as “salty pigs,” they had all used their own skills and had quietly risen in the ranks among the gods. This was admirable. Their absence to this ceremony made one feel like something was missing.

Time slowly passed, and it was soon noon. All the gods had already arrived and were assembled on a newly built courtyard in the center of the God Kingdom. The God of Aristocracy was already waiting on a mini stage in the front of the courtyard and the two Divine Powers attending to him and conducting the ceremony, the God of Vagrants and God of Protection, were waiting patiently beside him as well as the courtyard slowly quietened down.

After a while more, the MC, the God of Diplomacy, stepped up to the stage and began sharing on the accomplishments of the God of Aristocracy. What had the God of Aristocracy done? Well, naturally, they had been able to clean up the aristocratic circles as well as increase the morale of the higher rungs of the humans. Furthermore, he had pioneered the great development.

Otherwise, the God of Aristocracy actually had not done much.

The God of Diplomacy was a rather capable MC, and he managed his time well. Just as his speech for the God of Diplomacy was finished and he had invited the God of Aristocracy up on stage, it was coincidentally noontime when the two Divine Powers came forward to crown the new Master God.

The unnoticeable crown that was merely adorned with thorns and iron rings was created for the first generation God King of the Human God System, God of Knights. At that time, the Human God System was still extremely backwards and did not have the tools to produce any exquisite crown. Afterwards, when the second generation God King, the God of Revenge, had taken over, someone had suggested building a new, exquisite crown that suited the great title of God King of the Human God System. However, the God of Revenge had rejected that idea, and he had simply said, “All of you see this crown as plain and unassuming. I, however, see that glory and beauty are embedded in it.” He had changed his god name after adorning the crown, to “God of Light.”

When the crown and afternoon sunlight landed on the God of Aristocracy’s head at the same time, signaling the start of his official leadership, everyone burst into applause. The actions of the God of Aristocracy over the past few years meant that he had indeed earned this seat and this crown. Even the gods who did not have a good relationship with the Human God System had to admit this point.

After completing the ceremony, the God of Aristocracy gave a short speech. They stated that they would continue to maintain their efforts in terms of leadership and push for continuous development among the humans. At the same time, he would continue the pioneering developments in other worlds by the humans. The God of Aristocracy even invited other races to join the humans and work together to develop and build a more glorious world.

This speech naturally earned the God of Aristocracy another round of hearty applause. Many gods nodded to themselves quietly and began seriously considering the God of Aristocracy’s suggestion.

After speaking, the God of Aristocracy, under the accompaniment of the human gods, headed towards the big temple to complete the last step of stepping up as God King: ascending the throne.

In the center, at the back of the Human God System’s big temple, there were three rows of three stages. At the top of these stages was the throne of the Human God System’s God King. Although the God of Aristocracy had already completed the coronation, they would only be officially known as a God King and considered as completing the full ritual after they had sat on this throne. This was similar to Earth where the king had to put on the crown and sit on the throne, giving orders before he could truly be considered to have taken on the position.

Normally, the human gods walked shoulder to shoulder. However, today, even the God of Vagrants and the God of Protection deliberately walked a step behind, allowing the God of Aristocracy to walk ahead as a sign of respect for his new position of God King.

The God of Aristocracy slowly but surely walked onto the stage, in front of the throne and stared at it in silence for a long time.

“I’ve never imagined that His Majesty would really choose to direct this seat to me,” He muttered quietly. “I’ve always felt that he was targeting me or even pushing me aside… but I was wrong.”

The gods did not answer him. In reality, many gods had the same idea, and even as the God of Diplomacy took out the treasure that recorded the will of the God of Light, many were still in slight disbelief. If not, the God of Aristocracy would have long ascended the throne and would not have to wait until today, where they had had to accomplish much to gain the recognition and respect of the other gods.

The God of Aristocracy sighed slightly, smiled, and finally ascended the throne.
