Ascend to God Realm (Finale)
"Today is not to display Divine Might, but to share with you all the joy of this world's perfection."
Xia Yang explained.
The atmosphere immediately relaxed.
VIP Area, the earlier subtle exchanges dissipated, replaced by genuine congratulations and pleasantries.
After all, many of the top figures present had kinship ties with those on stage, making the room full of relatives and friends.
Xia Yang's gaze swept over the crowd below the stage, his clear voice resounding throughout the entire hall as he declared, "My affairs in this realm are settled, and I will soon Ascend to God Realm."
"From now on, the empire and many other affairs will still require the assistance of our relatives and friends."
His gaze was focused on the members of the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Tang Zhen and Yu Luomian immediately stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Clear Sky Sect shares the fate of the Empire and will do its utmost."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should also follow suit."
This is a promise that needs no further explanation.
Xia Yang's wife came from their sect, and this bond of blood and shared interests was far stronger than any alliance.
Subsequently, Xia Yang specially received Sea Dragon Douluo, the representative from Sea God Island, and Sea Spear Douluo, who was responsible for spreading the Sea God faith on land.
The two powerful figures from Sea God Island were overjoyed to see Xia Yang, bowing deeply and addressing him as "Sea God."
Xia Yang spoke encouragingly, instructing, "After I leave, the empire and my descendants will still need the care of Sea God Island and the two of you regarding matters at sea."
"We will obey the Divine Edict!"
Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo solemnly accepted the order, their voices resounding and powerful.
Finally, Xia Yang's gaze, along with Bibi Dong's, fell upon the location of the Spirit Hall delegation.
The current Pope, Qian Daoliu, personally attended the event. With a complex expression, he slowly stepped forward and, in front of everyone, solemnly apologized to Xia Yang for what happened to Qian Xunji back then, his words sincere and earnest.
Xia Yang nodded slightly and said calmly, "This matter is all in the past."
"Now that the Spirit Hall has been integrated into the imperial system, let's let bygones be bygones."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu visibly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and withdrew.
The former Great Offering the Spirit Hall looked particularly lonely at this moment, yet also somewhat relieved.
At this point, the core aspects of the ceremony have concluded.
The grand ceremony continued, filled with music and celebration, as people from all walks of life paid homage.
People around the square waved colorful flags, and cheers surged like waves.
The entire Douluo City was immersed in the joy of the celebration.
Time flies, the sun sets, and the ceremony comes to an end.
At this moment, the guests, each with their own feelings and reflections, gradually dispersed.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members left a little earlier.
Yu Luomian's expression had returned to calm, though her pace was a bit faster than when she arrived.
He needs to return to his sect as soon as possible and break through to the Titled Douluo.
Clearly, Tang Hao and the others' earlier mockery had provoked Yu Luomian.
After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon group left, the Clear Sky Sect group also departed.
Before leaving, Tang Chen took a deep look at Xia Yang on the high platform, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
This once powerful figure, who stood at the pinnacle of the continent, is now witnessing the dawn of New Era.
Tang Hao carried the sleeping Tang San and silently followed behind his father.
Tang Xiao then exchanged pleasantries and bid farewell to several familiar powerful figures from other sects.
The three members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were among the last to leave the VIP Area.
Ning Fengzhi stood at the edge of the square, looking back at the gradually emptying platform, and gently closed the folding fan in his hand.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stood quietly behind him. After a moment of silence, the three of them finally turned and left.
Although there is no kinship, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has its own way of survival, and its future path still needs to be carefully considered.
The magnificent square gradually quieted down, with only court attendants beginning to clean up the remnants of the celebration.
The colorful flags were taken down one by one, the ceremonial objects were carefully collected, and the petals and confetti swirled gently in the evening breeze.
Xia Yang stood alone on the high platform, gazing at the fading sunset in the west.
The last rays of sunlight stretched his shadow long, and golden divine light flickered around him.
At this moment, Xia Yang could feel the call of the Divine Realm, a pull from a higher dimension.
The Four Madams also quietly came up behind Xia Yang.
Meanwhile, the four children stood by, seeing their father off on his final journey.
At the very back were Xia Yang's parents.
"Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged."
Xia Yang spoke softly, as if talking to himself, or perhaps giving instructions to his family.
Bibi Dong gently squeezed Xia Yang's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of the children after you leave."
Xia Yang said, "You should come quickly too, we'll be waiting for you in the Divine Realm."
Don't worry.
Bibi Dong smiled confidently and said, "When we meet again, I will be the Asura God."
The group exchanged glances, needing no further words.
As the sun set and night fell completely, the first star quietly appeared on the horizon.
At this moment, Xia Yang could clearly feel that the pulling force originating from a higher dimension was becoming increasingly strong and clear.
In the darkness, the gateway to the Divine Realm had already been opened for him on an invisible level.
Then, Xia Yang took a step forward.
There were no extraordinary celestial phenomena as expected, nor any dazzling bursts of light; it was merely an ordinary step.
However, after taking that step, Xia Yang's figure began to become hazy and gradually transparent, as if slowly merging into the surrounding starlight and becoming one with the night.
In the sky, Xia Yang, along with Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua, and Liu Erlong, flew towards the Divine Realm, a location that only he could clearly perceive.
Xia Yang and the others passed through an incredibly thick cloud wall, and then swept across a strange region where spatial ripples rippled and light was distorted.
Finally, the scene before everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
A vast, magnificent realm, beyond the precise description of words, suddenly unfolded before their eyes.
The sky here is a serene pale gold, with soft light falling evenly.
The air was filled with a pure and powerful aura, possessing a spiritual charm and sacredness far surpassing that of the lower realms.
Looking into the distance, one can see a magnificent palace complex floating above swirling auspicious clouds, appearing and disappearing in the distance.
This is the Divine Realm described in countless legends.
Xia Yang's spirits lifted, and he was about to continue forward when a figure appeared unexpectedly not far in front of them.
She was a woman dressed in an elegant white robe, with a dignified and beautiful appearance. She exuded a unique aura that perfectly matched the world around her, a charm that only beings from the Divine Realm possessed.
The woman faced Xia Yang and the others, bowing slightly respectfully, and said in a calm and clear voice, "I am Reception God Official of the Divine Realm, here to await the arrival of the Sea God on the orders of the God Realm Committee."
"Welcome, Your Excellency, Ascend to God Realm."
