Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2056 - 2045: Boasting to Each Other

"This is the reason why becoming a deity is so difficult."Vivian sighed.

In Middle Earth, there are countless unparalleled cultivation geniuses, who at the last step have no choice but to lower their heads and seek to join a certain power.

The Divine King at the pinnacle has already monopolized all believers, thereby indirectly controlling the entire Divine Realm.

The Divine Realm is described in one sentence: Those who follow prosper, those who oppose perish.

"Ning Fan, if you truly wish to become a deity, it's best to abandon the idea of recruiting your own believers. True unbelievers are almost nonexistent; otherwise, once you attract the covetous gaze of the Divine Spirits, it might lead to a fatal disaster."

Ning Fan was silent. Vivian's words were not at all exaggerated.

A mere silent muttering of a divinity's name can brand one as a potential believer.

With such strict conditions, how could there be true unbelievers?

"Don't overthink it. I pledge by the Ancestral Dragon God that when you one day establish a Divine Kingdom, I will help you with the matter of believers without forcing you to join my father's Divine Series."

With Vivian's status, assisting Ning Fan in gaining some Power of Faith would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, the terms offered are truly sincere, entirely in Ning Fan's best interest.

This means he could establish his own path under the name of the Dark Dragon Divine King.

"Thank you for your kind intentions."

Ning Fan felt the sincerity, and the gloom between his brows vanished. Boldly, he said, "I am a Taoist Cultivator, and my goal is to pursue the supreme Heavenly Dao."

Though Divine Spirits are appealing, ultimately, they are under the rules of the Heavenly Dao, with exceptionally rare chances for transcendence.

"But your Golden Core is gone; how will you cultivate?"

"You really know how to spoil the mood."

Given the circumstances, Ning Fan didn't mind Vivian's mistake, "No core, no problem. Among the three thousand Great Daos, there is sure to be one suitable for me."

The Golden Core Great Dao is the most stable, mature, and suitable cultivation system for humans, but it does not necessarily mean humans must attain Dao through the Golden Core.

"Actually, I envy you Eastern Taoist Cultivators. Even my father said that only Taoist Cultivators have the chance to become a Creator God."

The status of a Creator God among the Western Divine Spirits is akin to that of a Saint.

"Then go ahead and cultivate the Dao."

Ning Fan rubbed his chin and thought, "Perhaps you are only suited for Demon Cultivation."

"I know. It is precisely because of this that I dare not."

"Why?"

Vivian shuddered slightly, "Because Demon Cultivation requires undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation."

"It's not just Demon Cultivation that has Heavenly Tribulation; human Taoist Cultivators also face it, but it's just a bit easier to pass than for Demon Cultivators."

As he spoke, Ning Fan suddenly realized, "Does this mean Divine Cultivation does not have trials similar to the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Apparently not. As long as you maintain an unbroken divinity and comprehend the rules, you're fine."

"That sounds wonderful."

Ning Fan had a tinge of jealousy in his eyes.

He'd never witnessed the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but he had heard from Chen Min that it had been nearly ten thousand years in the Earth Immortal Realm without a Taoist Cultivator undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation and ascending, indicating the might of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ning Fan laughed boldly, "No worries. The day my Divine Skill reaches perfection, you can come practice the Dao, and I will surely protect you through the Heavenly Tribulation."

"If you fail in Dao cultivation, then turn to Divine Cultivation; I am, after all, the Dragon King's daughter, and I can definitely help you advance to a top-level Divine Spirit."

"Then it's agreed. If I become an Immortal, I will share my Immortal fate with you."

"If I become a king, I will protect your Divine Kingdom from destruction."

After blowing these grandiose boasts, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Ning Fan's eyes sparkled, and he softly said, "Future Divine King, could you bestow upon me a top-grade Magic Crystal Stone?"

Vivian replied solemnly, "No. To become a Divine King as soon as possible, I must diligently cultivate."

They exchanged glances again and burst into hysterical laughter.

Although nothing was gained, Ning Fan suddenly felt that Vivian wasn't as unapproachable as he had imagined; in fact, she even had a touch of youthful charm.

"Alright, now it's time for proper matters."

Earlier, due to unexpected situations, Ning Fan almost forgot his business—he wanted to uncover the mystery of the disappearance of Western cultivators.

Now, the high ranks of the Sanctuary of Light have all vanished, seemingly making the mystery clearer.

"Do you think the people of the Sanctuary of Light, like everyone else, have all entered Middle Earth?"

"That seems likely."

Vivian shifted her tone, "Didn't you notice? All those White Robe believers are ordinary people."

According to the Church of Light's classification, apart from the Blessed Ones naturally endowed with Holy Power, other believers must gain Power of Faith through prayer, which is the Holy Power bestowed by the God King of Light, to lift themselves from the lowest white-robed status.

Ning Fan recalled the New York incident.

That day, although almost all the elite of the Church of Light were dispatched, there must have been top experts left guarding the main church.

Yet to this day, aside from the corpses of the White Robed believers, no bodies with Holy Power have been found.

Ning Fan surely didn't believe that all those bodies were eaten by Demon Beasts.

"So, not only have the living disappeared, but even those cultivators with power, even if corpses, vanish without a trace."

It seems only this can explain everything.

"Where did the Demon Beasts come from?"

"Does the disappearance of Western cultivators have anything to do with the Church of Light?"

These became the two questions Ning Fan most wanted answered.

Arriving at the Pope's study, Ning Fan said, "I'll leave the following matters to you."

Some information isn't recorded in writing; any issue involving Holy Power is best left to Vivian.

Before long, Vivian indeed found something: a diary written in Divine Script in the study.

In the Sanctuary of Light, only upon becoming Pope does one gain knowledge of the Divine Script from the Divine statue.

Thus, some critical information is recorded by the Pope in Divine Script.

This thin notebook, light as a workbook, actually recorded.

From the time this Pope ascended to the present, all major events in the Church of Light.

Glancing at the diary, the characters upon it were nothing but a jumble to Ning Fan.

Not understanding is one thing, but Ning Fan didn't doubt it, "Such a thin notebook can record events spanning more than a hundred years?"

"Divine Script isn't ordinary writing; each character here can be taken as a segment of Divine Sense information."

Vivian also said, "Every Divine Spirit's earthly representative receives a Record of Divine Oracle."

"Record of Divine Oracle?"

"The Record of Divine Oracle documents every divine decree issued by the Divine Spirit. After the Pope fulfills the divine decree, they respond in Divine Script, so the Divine Spirit can receive the specific information."

Ning Fan said oddly, "Isn't this just like grading a workbook online?"

"What's a workbook?"

"Nothing. Go on."

Ning Fan found the Divine Spirits rather amusing, even issuing workbooks to their representatives to check their task progress.
