"This Divine Sword Mountain originally belonged to the Gushen Clan. I am here now on behalf of the Gushen Clan to reclaim it," Zhou Hong said to the three Primordial Gods without room for negotiation.
The three Primordial Gods exchanged glances, appearing helpless.
"Senior, if you wish to reclaim it, there is naturally no problem."
"Very well, when will you all move out? The sooner the better."
One of the Primordial Gods said, "We will move out today. Not a single person will be left here."
Zhou Hong nodded with satisfaction.
"Senior, may I ask when you became a Creation God? To be frank, among the eighteen Creation Gods of the Divine Realm, we are all aware of them. Furthermore, our family has a distant relative who is also a Creation God."
Zhou Hong's brows furrowed slightly. He wondered if this could be interpreted as a threat. However, Zhou Hong truly needed to find out. If they were indeed powerful, he would be in trouble.
"Is that so? What level of Creation God is your distant relative? How much divine power has he reached?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Everyone calls him Shen Pussen."
Gus Ning, who was beside Zhou Hong, immediately transmitted, "I know this Shen Pussen. His divine power is at most 30 million."
Zhou Hong chuckled and directly stated, "I possess 80 million divine power."
The three Primordial Gods turned pale with fright. They simply couldn't believe that Zhou Hong had 80 million divine power. According to their understanding, among the eighteen Creation Gods of the Divine Realm, no one had divine power exceeding 60 million.
"Senior, please stop joking. Forgive my audacity, but you must have only recently become a Creation God, correct?"
"Hmph, who is joking with you?"
"Senior, every divine race in the Divine Realm is well aware of the eighteen Creation Gods. No one has exceeded 60 million divine power, let alone 80 million."
"Is that so? No one has exceeded 60 million divine power?" Zhou Hong's heart skipped a beat. Did this mean he was the strongest among all Creation Gods?
"It is absolutely true. To be frank, the three of us recently attended a Creation God conference convened by the eighteen Creation Gods. Although we cannot claim to know these eighteen Creation Gods like the back of our hands, we are quite familiar with them. It is just that after such a short time, a new Creation God has appeared in the Divine Realm. Thus, there are now nineteen Creation Gods. It has been over a trillion years in the Divine Realm since a new Creation God was born. Junior here congratulates Senior." The three Primordial Gods bowed respectfully to Zhou Hong, their eyes filled with envy.
"Hahaha." Zhou Hong burst into laughter. He had not expected that the moment he became a Creation God, he would also become the strongest Creation God.
"Alright, hurry up and move your belongings."
"Yes." Although the three Primordial Gods did not believe Zhou Hong was this powerful, they dared not delay. They immediately went to order their clan members to leave Divine Sword Mountain.
"Zhou Qing, do you really have 80 million divine power?" Gus Ning asked with a trembling voice. She now knew that Zhou Hong possessed such immense divine power. She had initially thought that Zhou Hong, having just become a Creation God, would have at most a little over 10 million. To think he claimed 80 million, instantly surpassing all current Creation Gods.
"Yes."
"My heavens, how is this possible? Whose divine spark did you inherit?"
Just then, a voice echoed from the distant sky: "I will answer you."
Zhou Hong immediately looked towards the direction of the sound. He saw an honest-looking man slowly flying over from afar. Judging by his aura, he was also a Creation God. However, his strength seemed rather low, at most less than 2000 divine power.
"Hello? Who are you?" Zhou Hong asked, confused.
The approaching Creation God smiled slightly and said, "My name is Yang Ding. I have been waiting to see who would inherit the divine spark of Sword Demon. I originally thought the Great Elder of the Gushen Clan would become Sword Demon's successor, but I was wrong."
Zhou Hong's brow furrowed. "You know about this divine spark?"
"Yes. The Great Elder of the Gushen Clan had previously written me a secret letter, consulting me about the information regarding the Metaverse. At that time, I knew it must be Sword Demon's divine spark. Therefore, I came here afterwards to observe secretly, to see who would inherit it. Now that you have inherited Sword Demon's divine spark, I hope you will take care of me in the future." Yang Ding cupped his fists towards Zhou Hong, his expression fawning.
"Who is Sword Demon?"
"Many people in the Divine Realm do not know of Sword Demon, because he died too long ago. Nine hundred billion years ago, there was a strongest Creation God in the Divine Realm, and he was Sword Demon. It is a pity that his temper was eccentric, he could not get along with the other Creation Gods, and frequently had conflicts. Therefore, the other Creation Gods conspired to design and kill Sword Demon. In the end, they succeeded. Sword Demon was killed, but just before his death, he voluntarily stripped his divine spark. No one knew its whereabouts. I never expected that after nine hundred billion years, his divine spark would reappear in the world. What surprised me even more was that the person who inherited his divine spark directly inherited all his divine power. I originally thought that inheriting his divine spark would only start from 10 million divine power, and even as a Creation God, one would be the weakest. I never expected it to be otherwise."
"Oh! Since you knew this was a divine spark long ago, why didn't you snatch it? Even if you didn't use it yourself, you could have given it to your relatives, allowing them to become Creation Gods." Zhou Hong asked, somewhat confused.
"Haha, I am already a Creation God, so I naturally cannot inherit it myself. Moreover, I thought inheriting Sword Demon's divine spark would only start from the weakest Creation God, which held no appeal for me. If I were to give it to my relatives, then my family would have two Creation Gods, which would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of other Creation Gods. As I am just the weakest Creation God, I do not have the ability to protect them. On the contrary, it might lead to more trouble."
Zhou Hong nodded. "So you were waiting in secret to see who inherited this divine spark."
"Yes, I thought it would be the Great Elder of the Gushen Clan, but it turned out to be you. What surprised me even more was that after inheriting Sword Demon's divine spark, you directly possessed all of his divine power. To be honest, if I had known this earlier, I would have snatched it directly and given it to my son or wife to inherit." Yang Ding the Creation God shook his head with a bitter smile. It seemed everything was destiny.
"Why is it that after I inherited Sword Demon's divine spark, I directly gained all his divine power?" Zhou Hong asked, puzzled.
"I think this might be related to him voluntarily stripping his divine spark when he was designed to be killed back then. Under normal circumstances, no matter who inherited whose divine spark, their divine power would be at most 10 million, and then they would slowly cultivate and increase it over countless eons."
"Hahaha, I now understand Sword Demon's intention back then. He wanted me to avenge him!" Zhou Hong laughed heartily and said. If not for this, why would Sword Demon have gone to such lengths before his death?
