The New Divine Calendar

The Divine Realm has entered a new era.

The first year of the new divine calendar thus began.

After that day, everything changed. The Divine Realm underwent a dramatic transformation.

The Gods were once independent and scattered like a heap of sand, were united for the first time as one, and under the guidance of a single god, they came under the same order.

Sea God original Sea God Palace is still preserved, but a new God King Palace has been built as the center of the Divine Realm.

In the God King Palace, lived the Sea God and the Asura God.

Everything seemed to have settled down, but when this God Kingdom actually began to function, it turned into complete chaos.

Many of the rules were newly established, and these gods couldn't get used to them at all. After all, they were used to being free, carefree, and extremely willful. They would fight when they wanted, sleep when they wanted, and beat up anyone they didn't like.

But now, it's as if we're being held captive by an invisible glove.

This is not allowed, that is not allowed.

It has to be this way, it has to be that way.

Not to mention those unruly Evil Gods, even among the Righteous Gods, many were secretly complaining.

Gods come and go in the God King Palace every day.

Meetings, reports, and receiving orders kept them so busy they barely had time to breathe.

The Evil God gods already had very abnormal thought processes and eccentric temperaments, but they happened to have an Asura God pressing down on them. Under the pressure of their Asura God, they were incredibly obedient.

Normally, they wouldn't even dare to utter a single word of rebuttal.

However, the days when they had free time were initially very difficult for them to endure.

These Evil Gods were so bored that they even found the Righteous Gods handsome. They were so bored that they felt being with these Righteous Gods wasn't so bad after all.

After all, we're usually just killing time; if we can't fight them, we can at least banter.

Of course, if Evil God were so obedient, it wouldn't be called Evil God.

Some Evil Gods have truly bizarre thought processes.

They tried to rebel, but before they could even make a move, a certain God King saw through their scheme and then annihilated them by another god.

Under the dual suppression of absolute intelligence and absolute force, those who lurked in the shadows, unwilling and resentful, those who held their breath and remained...

Finally, they all quieted down.

Alright, alright, after thinking it over, they finally realized that staying alive was more important.

If he dies and the Divine Core flies away, wouldn't that just benefit his successor for nothing?

Moreover, upon closer examination, the Divine Realm is now, at least, under the jurisdiction of the Asura God.

Although they felt somewhat uneasy, putting themselves in the shoes of the Righteous Gods were also feeling aggrieved made these Evil Gods feel much better.

Later on, these Evil Gods began to hypnotize themselves and manipulate themselves.

The Sea God and the Asura God are a pair. The God King Palace also has a part of the Asura God. The Asura God leads them, while the Sea God leads the side of the Righteous Gods.

Rounding up, it's equivalent to those Righteous Gods also being under the command of their great Asura God.

Thinking about it this way, the Evil Gods realized that this life wasn't so bad after all.

After all, they had grown accustomed to being under the rule of the Asura God over the years. Wasn't it just a matter of changing from obeying only the Asura God to obeying the decisions of both the God of Asura God and the Sea God?

The Righteous Gods weren't as wonderful as they imagined.

At the command of the Sea God, who is now their God King, many of their old customs that they had always taken for granted were now explicitly prohibited.

And those things they had always avoided and refused to get involved in were assigned to them one after another.

They were instructed to act immediately without delay.

At first, the entire hall was filled with complaints.

They are gods, what does that mean? They can do whatever they want.

Which of these gods would willingly do things they don't want to do? Who would want to be bound by rules and regulations? Who would willingly have their original freedom taken away?

These things would normally be very displeasing to God, but, what's that saying again?

Life is long, and no matter how tough or tiring it gets, we have to get through it, right?

After all, people need to live, and so do these gods.

Here we must once again mention our treacherous, cunning, vicious, ruthless, and indifferent Sea God. He had foreseen this long ago, so he arranged for his old Old Self to serve as role models for these gods, setting an example for them.

Once you get started, everything else will fall into place.

These old Sea God Old Self, though possessing diverse personalities—some lively, some aloof, some willful, some gentle, and some ruthless—all share a common trait.

That is, it has an extremely wide influence.

Once they started moving, the other gods followed suit.

Once most of the gods have started to move, the few that were still motionless will also follow suit.

This phenomenon is called the herd effect, or more commonly, the herd mentality.

It takes twenty-one days to form a habit.

Over time, both the good and the evil sides got used to it.

After all, the rules God King were indeed clear.

Rewards and punishments were clearly defined, no one suffered a loss, and no one was mistreated. The other party never showed favoritism to either side because of past relationships or acquaintances.

All actions should be based solely on facts.

So the resentment gradually dissipated, and the social atmosphere slowly improved.

It wasn't until much, much later that the Gods belatedly realized something was amiss.

This newly crowned God King always seemed to have a gentle and mild demeanor. Every time he met someone, he would smile faintly and speak in a gentle tone, like a breeze blowing across the sea, carrying a slightly damp coolness, which would unconsciously make people lower their guard.

But once you actually get to know the other party, you'll discover that beneath this gentle breeze lies a bottomless sea.

This newly crowned God King is always meticulous in his actions.

He doesn't get angry easily, and he never speaks harshly.

Yet each time, those problems that seemed intractable to the Gods were easily solved in his hands.

All problems seem to be no problem.

As time went on, some of the gods began to have doubts; after all, even the most foolish god is still a god.

Even if some things are unclear now, won't we figure them out after a long period of time?

These gods began to question a truly gentle, kind, and forgiving god like the Sea God, but could they really go this far?

The answer is naturally no.

Yes, a truly kind, tolerant, and gentle God could never have gone to this point.

The most direct evidence of all this is that the Sea God ascended to the position of God King. And he sat on the throne for a long time. During his reign, the God Kingdom was peaceful and never experienced any turmoil.

How is that possible?

Even the most virtuous and wise ruler in the human world, who is deeply loved by the people, could not achieve this.

Within the Divine Realm, with so many open and covert schemes, how could there possibly be no turmoil?

Then there's only one possibility left.
