Chapter 1706: Another Crossroad.


    ?


    The entity that stopped the void universe from getting a new Cosmic Star also dared to tamper with the time flow of space time continuum. So the void universe made sure to interfere in the resurrection speed of this entity to teach them a lesson.


    Fortunately, all was not lost. Somewhere else in the vast void universe, another special material is about to be born. Many people were looking on with great expectations. They didn''t know that the void universe was also looking on with bated breath.


    Hanjerlie of the Altinno realm looked down below at the expectant faces of everyone gazing at him. He felt emotional but he made sure to remain stoic.


    "This is it." He said to himself. "This is the moment all of my life has been leading to."


    "I seed or I die."


    He is anxious, but he is not afraid. This is not the first time he would be facing such a deadly situation in his life. He faced one when he first became a god. If he had failed his ascension then, he would have died. He seeded then, but he still had to struggle for survival during the hunt for his life by other gods.


    He faced another deadly predicament when he was about to be a Celestial. He could have died had he failed. But he didn''t. He ascended to the divine ne. Then he had topete with the other Celestials from all over the realm.


    The Altinno realm is a realm with a single ne of existence. There are three continents but they all have one single divine ne. The gods of the realm arended gods, but Celestials still ascend to the divine ne. He had to face andpete against all these Celestials that had survived for billions of years.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    It was not easy. The gods were always fighting. They couldn''t stop fighting because there was only one position for Celestial Supreme among the tens of thousands of Celestials. The position was constantly changing hands, and Celestials were always dying because of all the fighting.


    But he survived. He did so at first by scuttling about like a rat. He lived between the sharp teeth of the giants lurking about while trying to gain realm-wide recognition and support of mortals. By the time the gods noticed what was wrong, it was already toote. Hanjerlie the god of order was unstoppable.


    He brought peace to the world. He ended wars. He defended the mortals from demons. He was valiant and he fought for the peace of the people. He was the realm lord that the realm never had and the people rewarded his efforts with their faith.


    Now he has be the Celestial Supreme and he has umted the domain of Order, Justice, Peace, War, Wealth, Power, Life, Death, Light, and Darkness. It wasn''t easy. He achieved this by making rules that everyone in the realm had to live by.


    These rules represent order. They maintained justice and peace in the realm. They managed the rules of warfare and trade for wealth. They determined the allocation and use of power. They had the final say in the life and death of anyone, including gods.


    Finally, the rules were omnipresent and would function in the light of day and in the darkness or shadows. That''s how he managed to umte the domains of Order, Justice, Peace, War, Wealth, Power, Life, Death, Light, and Darkness.


    These rules were collectively called the Constitution of Altinno. Everyone in the realm had to abide by it. Most importantly, the rules were epted by his believers.


    It is why he was able to fuse together 10 domains in preparation for today. It would have probably been impossible for him to achieve it if he didn''t have more than 50% of the faith of every entity in the realm.


    All of his efforts have brought him to this point. He is not only the strongest Celestial, he has also met the requirements to take the next step into the unknown.


    The only difference between the danger he is facing now and before is that he is the first one in the whole ne and probably in the whole void universe who is about to aplish the next step for a Celestial. He is not being pompous with that im. His Will of the realm said as much.


    He didn''t say anything to his believers. All that he needs to say has already been said in his constitution. He didn''t say anything to his fellow gods, either. He knows that most of them want him to fail and die. Unlike the mortals, they hate him to the bone.


    That thought made him sneer at their powerlessness. Then he began the fusion process. He began glowing as soon as he started.


    Unlike when the Tree Father made his breakthrough, Hanjerlie is not hidden away in some inner world. He is out on the divine ne for everyone to see. So everyone in the realm saw the new star shining brightly in the sky.


    His life shed before his eyes. When he wanted to be a demigod, he needed divinity to transform his existence. He had to brave the danger of the graves of old gods. He was not the only one who was desperate for divinity. Many transcendents were like him. Many of them died, but he survived and seeded.


    When he wanted to be a god, he needed godhood, but he couldn''t find one. So he made his. He used faith to light up his godfire and transform his soul into a divine soul.


    He was not the only one either. Many demigods tried what he did and failed in the attempt. But he didn''t fail. He gained a domain and divine power. He became a god.


    To be a Celestial, he had to umte divinity andplete his domain. He was sessful, and he even went further to acquire nine otherplete domains. Now he has to fuse those domains into one to create his divine spark.
