Chapter 242 Events After The Creation Of Divine Heaven
Soon, everyone noticed their rise in power and couldn\'t help but shout in joy.
Suddenly, they all felt weird as their consciousness slowly drifted. Their eyelids felt as if they were tied down by weights as they all fell unconscious. In fact, everyone within the Divine Kingdom encountered the same thing.
The entire kingdom became a slumbering domain, as everyone, even those who were previously walking on the street could be seen lying down.
Outside, in the Immortal Territories, the same thing happened at the same time as trillions if not quadrillions of people were sent into a hibernating state as the energy of the greatest divine assimilated with all existences within the two realms. Except for the Heavenly Sacred Empire\'s people, everyone fell down, fast asleep.
Matthias, who was the center of it all, continued to merge The Divine Kingdom and The Immortal Territories together while also releasing incredible amounts of Divine Energy throughout the land.
His ascended dimension consciousness also influenced the entire realm under him to enter a state of transformation. Although they cannot reach his level of consciousness, their mental states could be said to improve by leaps and bounds.
Weeks later, the realm, now The Divine Heaven, has changed to an unimaginable degree. The change has made the Divine Heaven unrecognizable, so much so that the old Immortal Territories wouldn\'t even reach an inch of Divine Heaven\'s gloriousness.
The fundamental foundations that the Immortal Territories have been built upon has entirely changed. Its Immortal lands shed its last impurities and turned into a heavenly domain that even angels of the Third Heaven and below would feel unworthy to even step on its sacred soil.
The Divine Kingdom and the domain of The Heavenly Sacred Empire had also completed their merge and now became a part of the newly-established Divine Heaven.
The sun in the sky stayed still at the top of the realm, neither dusk nor dawn would be happening within this Heaven.
Its own laws have already been instated, influencing all beings within. For now, the people still haven\'t woken up, because their bodies are still being reformed.
Placing down his tired arms, he descended from the skies and landed near Shen Tianyue who was talking to a man that came down together with the angelic beings of the Heavenly Sacred Empire. Behind him, two 8-foot tall six-winged armored seraphim stood with a 5-foot long silver greatsword held between their hands.
"Empress Shen." Matthias called out. Shen Tianyue turned to him and immediately knelt down, with her hands holding the hem of her golden robe. "Divine Emperor." She greeted him respectfully.
"Stand up, Empress." Matthias beckoned, "You are the Empress of Divine Heaven, and you equally have authority over the people, especially to your subjects." He said.
Shen Tianyue nodded understandingly and stood up. On the other hand, the man beside her looked at Matthias with an observing gaze. Matthias noticed him and turned, "Do you need something?" Matthias asked.
"Divine Emperor Han Shen, or should I say Divine Emperor Matthias since you aren\'t just the Emperor of the Divine Heaven Empire anymore." The man spoke with a dull voice, "Although you became a Heavenly God by creating Divine Heaven, it doesn\'t mean that the beings of the Heavenly Sacred Empire would immediately recognize your rule." He said to him.
"Hmm." Matthias narrowed his eyes, "Continue." He said.
The man didn\'t even falter while the Heavenly God looked at him with sheer focus, bearing with it his power. "While it is true that you are a God that presides over a Heaven, you would still need to gain the trust, pride, and loyalty of Heavenly Sacred Empire\'s inhabitants. We will recognise you as the spouse of our Empress, but until you prove yourself, you will only be our Empress\' husband and nothing more to our eyes."
After saying that, he bowed towards Shen Tianyue before leaving together with the two seraphim, not even batting an eye towards Matthias.
When he had completely left and journeyed to return to the old Heavenly Sacred Empire\'s domain that merged with the realm, Shen Tianyue bowed towards Matthias apologetically, "I am sorry if you were offended by him, Divine Emperor." Shen Tianyue spoke.
"You don\'t need to apologize, Divine Empress." Matthias waved his hand with a faint smile on his face. He looked at the direction where the man left and said, "I appreciate that he was giving me a chance to prove myself to the people of your Empire, and still recognise me as someone with authority. If he treated me with blatant disrespect, then that might\'ve been the time that I would need an explanation."
"Still, I apologize for Eolas, Divine Emperor." She repeated. Resigned to her attitude about the matter, Matthias could only nod and accept her apology.
"You can just call me Matthias. In turn, I would just call you Tianyue." Matthias spoke after an awkward silence.
"You don\'t need to call me by my Mandarin name anymore." Shen Tianyue smiled and replied, "You can just call me Celeste or Luna, whatever you desire."
"Then, Celeste, we should talk about us being \'fiance\'. What do we plan with that?" Matthias asked with a little bit of apprehension. Even though he already had five women in his harem, as a man who had lived on the 21st Century in a world where polygamy is highly discouraged except for other religions who allows such practices, he still very much dislikes the idea of multiple women in his married life at the same time.
He even did an experiment which, fortunately for him, worked and allowed him to plant his seeds inside his consorts that needed a descendant from him to stand as their legitimacy in the eyes of the common people and the nobles without the need for consummation.
To him, now that he has Isabelle, he would dedicate his time as a husband to her and only her. Considering that everyone that is inside of Divine Heaven has evolved to become a divine being of a certain level, and also considering that the Imperial Palace is directly involved with his divine presence and transformation, Isabelle would definitely be at least at the level of a Ninth Heaven being and would definitely live for at least billions of years, accompanying him in his godly life for a very long time.
The last thing that he would need in his relationship right now would be another woman. (A/N: I have no intentions of disrespecting women in this line. I\'m just saying that he only wants one woman to accompany him and doesn\'t need a side chick. That\'s all.)
"Oh, that?" Shen Tianyue, or Celeste, ahhed and chuckled, "I know what you\'re thinking. Us being fiances is just a formality to declare our intention. As it would be easier for me to transfer my divine authority to you if we\'re one, I picked that route."
"But it doesn\'t mean you\'re required to treat me as your wife." She added, "You can just treat me as a friend and business partner or a co-founder."
"That\'s a relief." Hearing that from her, Matthias heaved a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off his back.
"Do you really oppose the idea of harem that much?" Celeste laughed as she looked at the rejoicing man in front of her. Embarrassed, Matthias could only chuckle.
After a while, they looked at the Divine Heaven in front of them. They know that, with the help of his newly-gained authority as a Heavenly God and a being who ascended dimensions, Divine Heaven would develop greatly through the years to come.
And as everyone expected, they indeed did just that.
After the entire realm woke up, everyone was shocked with the changes within their bodies. The mortals were incredulous when they discovered that they gained strength and power that they could only imagine before. Some grew wings, some grew halos, others were granted the ability to heal, and many more.
The Seraphim of The Divine Kingdom also flew towards Matthias\' presence together with thousands of Warrior Angels. In the middle of the journey, they were welcomed by Cane, who had transformed into a two-winged angel that\'s power is greater than a Seraph. They were brought to Ianod Mountain, where Matthias sat on the Throne of Heaven.
Ecstatic that their Creator had created a more powerful heaven, they pledged their loyalty once again with full support. When they discovered that he had descendants, their joy couldn\'t even be described.
Regarding the beings of The Immortal Territories, Some beasts within the forests have gained sentience and also the knowledge that a new Heavenly God resides within the realm. Beasts came in droves towards the new Imperial Palace situated in the middle of the continent, or rather floating in the middle of the entire Heaven. From phoenixes to wyverns to serpents and many more, a variety of divine beasts welcomed their new God.
