"Hong Jun, Daoist friend, your opponent seems quite strong."

"Hehehe, the enthronement of ten thousand gods, such boldness that even we Demon Gods find it shocking!"

"How about it? Are you still unwilling to accept our Great Dao?"

As Xuanqing had predicted, the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were not of one mind.

The Reincarnation Demon God can find him to cooperate, and other Demon Gods will naturally choose the existence they favor.

Some Demon Gods couldn't come to terms with Hong Jun, but some Demon Gods placed heavy treasures on Hong Jun!

Hong Jun sat cross-legged on a high platform, calmly preaching.

Voices echoed in his mind, as if coming from distant time and space, ethereal and strange.

One after another, indescribable forms, whose specific shapes couldn't be expressed in words, seemed to have broken free from the constraints of time and space and "came alive" in Hong Jun's Sea of Consciousness.

They circled him, whispering, enticing, trying to pull him down from the throne of "Heavenly Dao" and into the deeper, freer, and more violent abyss of Chaos.

A voice with a hint of "kindness" resounded, as if it had seen through Hong Jun's deep concern for Primordial Creatures: "Daoist friend, if you really can't let go of that obsession with 'educating,' we can help you."

"That fallen Life Demon God, its companion treasure 'Life Source Wheel' is still floating somewhere in Chaos. If you obtain this treasure..."

Another voice quickly followed, filled with irresistible temptation: "Mastering the 'Life Source Wheel' is equivalent to controlling the source of the Life Dao!"

"With a single thought, all things revive; with another, the old soil bears new sprouts!"

"In this Primordial World, even in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, as many living beings as you desire, so shall there be!"

"Indeed!" the previous "kind" voice rose again, with a sly tone.

"Infected by Chaos, some went mad, some died, so what? With the power of 'Life Source Wheel,' you can recreate billions with a wave of your hand."

"At that time, you may educate as many as you wish and choose how 'pure' the living beings you want."

"Let them grow entirely according to your will, isn't it much faster than tirelessly managing and being restricted everywhere as you do now? Why not enjoy it?"

The temptations of the Demon Gods were like the sweetest poison, layering upon layer, attempting to corrode Hong Jun's heart which was steadfast in the Heavenly Dao, unmoving.

However, Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor was unmoved.

He remained serene on the high platform, as if the demonic sounds that could shake a Daluo Golden Immortal's Dao Heart were merely gentle breezes passing over the water surface, not stirring even a ripple in his heart-lake.

His eyes remained tightly closed, his lips carrying a faint, indifferent smile.

His preaching remained grand and clear, intricately recounting the profound and complex truths of Heavenly Dao, each word filled with the power of order and harmony, sharply contrasting the whispers of Chaos Demon Gods in his mind.

The indescribables from the depths of Chaos, whose wills spanned time-space restrictions, seeing Hong Jun unyielding, some let out resentful growls, others chuckled meaningfully, and gradually the voices faded away.

The aftereffects of the Divine Enthronement Ceremony lingered, as a deeper transformation silently unfolded across the Primordial Land.

A hundred thousand enthroned Divine started to establish Divine Countries within their domains, using Heavenly Court decrees and their understanding of the Divine Dao.

This is not merely a symbol of authority but the core of Divine Dao cultivation—to grasp divine power through the laws of the Great Dao, reverse innate nature, and strengthen oneself.

In a flash, the Primordial World saw Divine Countries rise like bamboo shoots after rain, scattered across, thriving with vitality.

In the Cycle Star Sky, Star Lords drew upon billions of star radiances, using starlight as tiles and divine power as beams, forging Star Palace Divine Countries suspended deep within the Universe, where star rivers flow, light and darkness interweave, mysterious and unfathomable.

Across the Primordial Land and the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, each Divine relied on the divine power of Heavenly Dao to further enhance Cave Heaven Blessed Lands into stable Divine Domains.

These Divine Countries were either majestic, channeling mountain and river dragon veins; or elegant, nourishing lands and protecting billions of living beings.

Of course, not all Divine placed their Divine Countries in tangible regions.

Some used a more mysterious method, closely linking themselves with the laws of heaven and earth that corresponded to their power, sometimes hidden in the void, sometimes manifest in the mortal world, or situated in chaotic space-time, omnipresent.

Moreover, some applied the methods of constructing a Divine Country to themselves.

Their divine body became a "Divine Country," their vast mana as "rivers," their organs as "cities," the Spiritual Platform as "capital," the Primordial Spirit as "king"...

This unconventional Divine Country cultivation method drew many Divines to imitate.

Especially the Taiyi Divine Spirits, possessing numerous peculiar characteristics and mystical methods, favored unconventional practices.

After experiencing the technique of embodying oneself as a country, some ingenious ones combined Artifact Refining Techniques with Divine Dao and created giant ships traversing the star sea!

"From today on, our Heavenly River Navy's Divine Country will be our flagship!"

Tian Peng True Lord, a part-time Heavenly River Divine General, stated: "These giant ships are both Spiritual Treasures and Divine Countries, and are our rides to conquer All Heavens and Universe!"

"Spiritual Treasures are treasures with spirit, so it's reasonable for us to enlighten our giant ships, right?"

"Since the giant ship is a Divine Country, our ship spirit is also called 'national spirit,' Divine Country spirit, plain and simple."

"Sounds pretty good!"

Upon seeing this plan, Star Venerable Chen jokingly asked: "Do you need dual cultivation techniques then?"

"Ah?"

Tian Peng True Lord and other Heavenly River Navy were dumbfounded.

"Dual cultivation, what kind?"

Star Venerable Chen answered naturally: "Of course, it's dual cultivation with your ship spirit, or 'national spirit'!"

Tian Peng was startled: "How is that possible?"

"Why can't it be?"

Star Venerable Chen gave a look as if saying "you haven't seen the world."

Subsequently, Star Venerable Chen handed a scroll of scriptures to Tian Peng True Lord.

Tian Peng True Lord took it and saw that it boldly read "Three Thousand Volumes of Weak Water·Volume 107·Hundred Explanations of Spiritual Objects."

"The potential utility of a spiritual object ultimately depends on your imagination."

Star Venerable earnestly advised True Lord Tian Peng, "Since you can combine a Divine Country with a giant ship to awaken its spirit, then you can also teach the national spirit or the ship's spirit to cultivate!"

"With Divine Dao cultivation, as the God strengthens, the Divine Country can also strengthen."

"Conversely, if the spirit of the Divine Country (giant ship) can cultivate itself, won't the Divine Country (giant ship) strengthen as well, thereby benefiting the God?"

"With both the God and the Country, and the Saint and the Spirit in dual cultivation, they promote each other and progress together—this is the correct way to approach Divine Dao!"

"Ah, so this is what the Venerable meant by dual cultivation!" The Heavenly River Navy finally realized.

"Of course, what did you think I meant?" Star Venerable displayed clear eyes and a serious expression, meticulous as ever.

As if saying: I'm a serious God!

Star Venerable said, "Moreover, by combining the Divine Country, the giant ship, and the Spiritual Treasure, my plan can achieve a positive interaction between Divine beings and Spiritual Treasures, perfectly resolving the limitation that Spiritual Treasures cannot cultivate and upgrade!"

"Ah, indeed!" The Heavenly River Navy's eyes lit up.

As expected of our Heavenly River Navy leader, his methods are of top-tier cultivation techniques!

"Alright, I have matters to attend to, remember to carefully read this scroll of my scriptures when you're free, it will be greatly beneficial."

Star Venerable left gracefully after completing his affairs.

Leaving the Heavenly River Navy members to lament: "The Venerable can conceive such serious ideas, we really misjudged him!"

~~~~

Meanwhile, Star Venerable hurriedly contacted Xuanqing.

"Heavenly Emperor, I've just devised a new strategic game that aids Divine Dao cultivation, particularly beneficial for our Taiwei Constellation's navy!"

"Oh?"

Xuanqing curiously received the proposal from Star Venerable.

"Gods Above, Ships Below?"

Xuanqing twitched slightly at the mouth.

He took a closer look, then expressionlessly returned the proposal to Star Venerable.

"If you change the name and remove most of the Ruishui content beyond the normal cultivation of Divine and giant ships, the proposal is still feasible."

At least combining the features of the Divine Country (giant ship) and the Spiritual Treasure is an excellent idea.

Star Venerable smiled.

"Then I'll tweak it a bit."

The second draft proposal was sent quickly.

Xuanqing glanced at it.

"Ships Above, Gods Below."

This time, Star Venerable indeed took the advice.

He truly eliminated most of the Ruishui content beyond the normal cultivation of Divine and giant ships.

But the Divine itself became Ruishui!

"Leave this proposal with me, I'll help you adjust it," Xuanqing said.

"Alright!"

Star Venerable willingly accepted.

Xuanqing first modified the game's name.

"Let's call it 'Ships and Beyond'."

Following Star Venerable's idea, Xuanqing added some of his own insights.

Not long after, this Divine Dao strategic game went online on the Star Network.

"Heavenly Emperor, how can you indulge and neglect your duties like this!"

Busy at work, Fu Xi saw Xuanqing actually researching Star Network games and immediately objected.

Xuanqing's grand Divine Enthronement ceremony not only expanded the foundational rule of the Taiwei Constellation but also elevated the Primordial Divine Dao to a new height.

The refinement of the Divine Dao Cultivation Method also provided new ascension paths for countless creatures, causing a surge in the number of cultivators.

Simultaneously, establishing one hundred thousand Divine Countries effectively organized and utilized the spiritual energy, earth veins, and water veins of the Primordial World.

Similarly, the affairs that the Taiwei Constellation needed to manage had grown to an unprecedented extent.

Now, Fu Xi personally oversees the Purple Micro Constellation, coordinating resource distribution and authority disputes among the Divine Countries, and dynamically adjusting Divine Positions based on merit.

He also leveraged the Star Network formed by the All Heaven Star Formation for information sharing and energy dispatch among the hundred thousand Divine Countries.

Fu Xi busied himself back and forth, only to find that he was the only one earnestly working.

The dignified Heavenly Emperor developing a strategy game, is this right?

"Try playing it and you'll understand," Xuanqing gave Fu Xi an account to log in.

"I won't... Demon God's World-Crossing Plan?"

Fu Xi took a look and was instantly captivated by the opening.

"Using oneself as a raft, crossing entire epochs, before me lies an endless abyss; do you think I can succeed?"
