After a short while, all the generals who had reached the demigod level arrived in front of the main hall.
They looked at the divine altar in front of them in disbelief.
“Your Majesty? What is this?” Athena stepped forward and asked.
“When you were meditating, didn’t you feel that something was wrong?” Jerry said slowly.
When the people heard the reminder, their expressions immediately changed.
“When I was training recently, I realized that there seemed to be a layer of barrier preventing me from breaking through no matter what,” Apollo stepped forward and said.
The people below all had the same expression, and it was obvious that this situation did not only happen to Apollo.
The other people had encountered the same problem during their training.
Seeing their appearance, Jerry already knew that his guess was correct.
Although their star levels had risen, they had not broken through to a higher level.
In other words, perhaps they already had the power equivalent to a main god, but they had not completely transformed and shed their mortal bodies.
In fact, only a main god had an indestructible soul.
The people didn’t even have a divine spark. Once a battle appeared, they would definitely be annihilated if they still foolishly charged forward.
They weren’t like a summoned army which would be able to recreate their original cultivation level once they fused their divine souls with other soldiers.
“This is the divine spirit platform. It’s used to gather faith, ignite divine fire, and condense divine sparks.”
After listening to Jerry’s explanation, Apollo and the others all had a look of realization.
Only Athena’s brows were still tightly furrowed. She stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, I feel that things might not be that simple. The Era of the Empire did not reveal this news. Perhaps there are other motives.”
Hearing Athena’s words, Jerry nodded his head in praise and agreed that things were not that simple.
Athena was indeed the goddess of wisdom.
Therefore, Jerry motioned for Athena to continue speaking.
“Your Majesty, if we say that we are doing this to slow down our development, it can also be said that we are waiting for others to catch up. When the others have caught up, will our Sky Dynasty be attacked? Once we are attacked by the other dynasties, there will not be a single sovereign. As a godly monarch, we will not have any room for resistance in front of those dynasties.”
“Are you saying that the Era of the Empire is targeting our Sky Dynasty?”
Ares asked.
As a god of war, what he hated the most was the twists and turns behind him.
“We can’t be sure yet.” Athena frowned her delicate eyebrows, which had a unique charm.
“But if the Empire Era is really targeting our sky dynasty, then there must be other actions behind it. So, no matter what, the only thing we can do now is to increase our own strength as much as we can,” Jerry said calmly.
He had always believed that any insidious scheme would be as fragile as a bubble in front of absolute strength.
Moreover, the Era of the Empire would specifically target a person, which was indeed an extremely strange thing.
Could it be that the Era of the Empire had its own will.
Did that also mean that it wasn’t a cold, dead object created by a special existence?
“As expected of his majesty, I’ve thought of this long ago!” Athena praised from the bottom of her heart.
Jerry smiled and didn’t say anything. He just told them to quickly ignite the divine fire and condense their own divine sparks.
In an instant, beams of dazzling divine light shot up into the sky in the palace.
Jerry also realized that as his subordinates condensed their divine sparks one by one as they advanced to become main gods.
At the same time, felt the changes in the divine sparks in his body, and he secretly thought that his guess was indeed correct.
Jerry’s gaze swept across Athena, Ares, Zeus, Apollo…
When he first knew that ascending to the main god required the power of faith to ignite the divine fire, he had also discovered the problem.
There were no such gods in this world.
Even the famous emperors such as Caesar had never heard of them.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to obtain the power of faith.
But at this moment, they were indeed using the power of faith to condense their own godhood.
It seemed that as beings that they had summoned from the Eternal Flower Register, they could use their own power of faith to cultivate.
In an instant, Jerry found that the power of faith did not decline but rose instead.
After calming his mind to examine it, he realized that the increase in the power of faith actually came from Athena and the others.
All the commanders and generals, including the army that were summoned from the Eternal Flower Register, were loyal to Jerry.
Therefore, when the spiritual altar first appeared, so much of the power of faith that was condensed basically came from these people around him.
This was because over the years, Jerry had developed too quickly, and he only cared about increasing the strength of his army and generals.
If he did not have enough resources, he would directly exchange them from the public areas,
Not to mention the natives of the desolate realm who had recently joined the Sky Dynasty, even the citizens of the Sky Dynasty had been overlooked by Jerry.
Those ordinary people might only know that the desolate realm had a ruler, the desolate emperor.
As for what this ruler looked like, they probably didn’t know.
Just like how they didn’t have any faith in Jerry.
Therefore, it could be said that most of the power of faith here came from the people summoned from the Eternal Flower Register.
But Jerry found that after Athena became a main god, their power of faith instantly became more than twice as strong.
Could it be that the stronger he was, the more power of faith he could produce?
However, Jerry also found that he could not rely on these people to collect power of faith.
Now, he was not the only one who needed power of faith to break through.
Everyone needed it.
Then, it was obviously not enough to rely on these people to produce power of faith.
After everyone had broken through to become a sovereign, Jerry could clearly feel that the divine spark within his body was changing more and more violently.
With Jerry as the center, a ring of light spread out in all directions,
The entire main hall was surrounded by the ring of light.
“What’s going on? Why can’t I use my power?” Ares cried out in surprise.
At this moment, he felt that his body was completely empty. He couldn’t use any power at all.
it was the same with Apollo, Athena, and everyone else.
It was as if they had lost all their power in an instant, becoming ordinary people.
Just then, Athena discovered the abnormality; the situation on their bodies might be related to the light circle emitted from Jerry’s body.
“Your Majesty, what is this?” Athena walked forward and asked.
Suddenly, Jerry opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
His gaze then swept over the people in front of him one by one.
This was the rule he had comprehended after becoming the King of Gods.
In my domain, everyone was a mortal.
