Kunlun Divine Court

Great Snowfield Shelter.

After Jiang Yang returned with Filiya and Sphinx, Li Xiaowa reacted as though she had seen family.

"Jiang Yang, I'm leaving everything to you."

The girl whose military uniform had remained unchanged for a thousand years could not wait another moment. After handing him the position of leader, she returned to her laboratory.

She was also one of the directors of the Human Race Selection Plan. Over the years, serving as leader while also conducting research had kept her terribly busy.

Jiang Yang had no choice but to take over.

"These years really have been hard on her."

Seated in his old office, Jiang Yang sighed to Qing Fengxi, who stood before him.

"Yes, Xiaowa has indeed worked hard all these years. But fortunately, you're back, Jiang Yang."

Qing Fengxi smiled with scholarly grace.

"Feng Xi, sorry for troubling you with establishing the Divine Court for now."

"No problem."

Several years later.

North of the Great Snowfield Shelter, Jiang Yang established a majestic Divine Court atop a towering mountain.

He named it-the Kunlun Divine Court.

He also renamed the peak beneath his feet Kunlun Mountain.

He brought out several hundred members in charge of combat, and they took up residence on Kunlun Mountain.

From then on, the Kunlun Divine Court became their seat of rule over this vast region, while the Great Snowfield Shelter withdrew into the shadows and concealed itself.

The Divine Court was responsible for all the supplies the Great Snowfield Shelter needed.

When the Kunlun Divine Court was established, all six major Divine Courts sent representatives to offer congratulations.

Among them were Apollo and Poseidon from Olympus, Anubis and Osiris from the Egypt Divine Court, Rama from the Sumerian Divine Court, Thor from the Norse Divine Court, Hel from the Far North Divine Court, and others.

"Congratulations on establishing your Divine Court, King Jiang!"

"With King Jiang here, the Great Snowfield region can sleep soundly without worry."

The gods loudly cheered the establishment of the Kunlun Divine Court, and for a time, the celebrations were extraordinarily lively.

After establishing the Kunlun Divine Court, Jiang Yang began leading the gods of Kunlun on campaigns east and west.

They slew all the ferocious mutant beasts upon this land. Whether they were beasts at the Emperor-Rank First Step or Second Step, they all became trophies of the Kunlun Divine Court.

As for those that seldom attacked and killed humans, he drove them into the deep mountains, lakes, or seas.

Thus, the mortals of the Great Snowfield region also learned that an invincible God King had emerged among the Divine Clan.

He established the Kunlun Divine Court, ascended to the position of God King, slew countless evils, and drove away powerful ferocious beasts. For a time, the seas were calm and the rivers clear, and peace settled over the land.

Once the various regions were safe, they also began slowly expanding into the outer territories.

Several hundred years later, the population had grown enormously, and the lands mortals ventured into had expanded greatly.

Thus, Jiang Yang felt that continuing to name their greatly expanded territory after the Great Snowfield region was no longer appropriate.

After discussing it with the gods, he named this region-Eastern Cang!

For their civilization had once been called Cang! This land was the land of Cang in the east.

And during these several hundred years.

Ra of the Egypt Divine Court finally broke through to the Emperor-Rank Second Step, becoming capable of transforming into a golden divine eagle a hundred meters long, with a wingspan of two hundred meters!

Mar also broke through. His God Form was an azure divine bull two hundred meters tall.

Isa in the far north transformed into an incomparably magnificent ice-crystal phoenix.

As for Brahma in the south, he transformed into an enormous golden lotus.

Even Li Xiaowa broke through to the Emperor-Rank Second Step. Her God Form had a human head and a serpent's body, and was extraordinarily wondrous.

Many talented King-Rank members of the Divine Clan also made breakthroughs of their own.

And Jiang Yang, after accumulating strength over these long centuries, was also about to break through.

One day.

Within the Kunlun Divine Court.

Jiang Yang sat upright upon the God King Throne, his entire body burning with golden flames.

By then, half a year had passed since he entered seclusion to make his breakthrough.

He had now reached the final stage of breaking through to the Emperor-Rank Second Step.

As for what his God Form would be, he had already designed it.

A God Form was the symbol of the Emperor-Rank Second Step, as well as the foundation for future breakthroughs to higher levels.

He had to choose one that suited him, one that could perfectly harness his potential and accord with the workings of heaven and earth.

Over these several hundred years, he had slain countless powerful mutant beasts and learned by heart the various strengths and weaknesses of their mutated, evolved forms.

"The moment to break through is today!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yang's eyes snapped open, his golden eyes like two blazing suns!

Behind him, a vast Flame World opened. This was his Flame Domain.

Soon, an incomparably magnificent golden divine bird rose from his body, and boundless golden flames began to envelop him.

The entire temple seemed to have plunged into an ocean of flames, yet these golden flames harmed nothing, as though they possessed awareness.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As thunderous heartbeats rang out one after another, a golden divine bird two hundred meters long leaped from the earth within the world of flames and soared into the Azure Firmament!

Like a spirit of the sun, an emperor born!

It was an incomparably magnificent great Golden Crow!

The Golden Crow, wreathed in golden flames, soared through the sky. Its brilliant, powerful aura swept across ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, its vast divine might rivaling the sun above!

The Golden Crow circled once in the sky, then returned to Kunlun and transformed into a handsome young man with a tall, heroic bearing.

His golden eyes held a smile, his face an air of majesty.

When he landed, countless praises came from every direction.

"King Jiang is mighty!"

"Congratulations, King Jiang! We actually have a second Emperor-Rank Second Step now, hahahaha!"

Throughout the Kunlun Divine Court, the laughter of the Divine Clan rang out from every side.

A few days later, after celebrating with the members of the Divine Clan, Jiang Yang stood alone atop Kunlun Mountain, feeling the immense energy filling his body.

The Emperor-Rank Second Step was powerful indeed!

Just then, a researcher from the Great Snowfield Shelter suddenly arrived.

"King Jiang, Director Li Xiaowa says she needs to see you about something important."
