Chapter 270 The Last Ascender Before the Heavens Collapsed (2)

　　This was actually his true goal. He wanted Hong Yong to come back to life as a God and ask about Hong Fugui.

　　As for this City Gods System, it was just a system that he had temporarily created after seeing some things when he came to the Great Xia Kingdom.

　　Later on, he would give Hong Yong the right to perfect and optimize this divine system. He would strive to let this divine system operate independently and let the people live a longer and more peaceful life.

　　Hong Kang, Hong Tao, and Hong Shen thanked Cui Heng again.

　　They knew that this was a huge opportunity.

　　It could be said that as long as the Ancestral God of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was around, the Hong family’s bloodline would not end. This would be a true lineage that can last throughout the ages.

　　Unless one day, a god became selfish and crippled his own Deity Position.

　　…..

　　“Immortal Venerable, should we hold a sacrificial ceremony to confer the title of Ancestral God of the Imperial Ancestral Temple so that we can take this opportunity to announce the City Gods System to the world?” Hong Shen asked.

　　“Sure.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and said, “However, you can do this yourself. When the time comes, just let Hong Yong cooperate with the ritual. A true god descending, and it’s the Ancestral God of the Ancestral Temple, is enough to announce to the world.”

　　He did not intend to participate in the tedious sacrificial ceremony.

　　He just needed to confer the God.

　　Hence, after saying this, Cui Heng started moving.

　　He raised his right hand and grabbed lightly at the sky. In an instant, 30% of Great Xia’s luck was gathered, turning into a purple-gold talisman. Then, with a flick of his finger, the talisman immediately flew towards the ancestral memorial tablet at the top of the shrine.

　　The essence of the City Gods System was to condense the country’s destiny into a Deity Position, allowing the gods who were conferred the title of God to have various authority over humans.

　　This was also the important reason why the Ancestral God of the Ancestral Temple was to be conferred on Hong Yong, as well as why he wanted the Hong family to be the main force of the City Gods System.

　　The destiny of a country in a feudal dynasty was closely related to the Imperial Family.

　　If the country’s luck was gathered on the Imperial Family, the country’s destiny would not change. It would even be more stable and could still prosper day by day.

　　However, if their luck fell, it would be another story.

　　Of course, with the divine system that Cui Heng had designed, unless the Hong family played favorites and courted death, it would be difficult for the ownership of the Deity Position to fall, and the country’s luck would continue to rise.

　　At this moment, under the gaze of the Hong family’s grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, the purple-gold talisman fused into Ancestor Hong Yong’s memorial tablet.

　　Immediately after, an incomparably huge pressure spread out from the memorial tablet.

　　It made Hong Kang, Hong Tao, and Hong Shen’s hearts palpitate inexplicably.

　　Especially Hong Tao, the Capital City’s God.

　　Just by sensing this pressure, he felt like kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

　　At the same time, purple-gold light gathered in the sky above the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the capital. The bright moon and stars in the night sky seemed to dim under the purple-gold light.

　　Layers of clouds surged and flickered with a mysterious and noble light, as if a purple-gold divine dragon was soaring in the clouds under the night sky.

　　Countless civil officials, soldiers, and commoners in the capital were woken up from their sleep by this mysterious light, but they were not sleepy or tired at all. Instead, they were a hundred times more energetic.

　　They felt that their condition had never been better. Even some people with accumulated injuries had recovered.

　　They all walked out of their rooms and looked up at the sky.

　　When they realized that there was a phenomenon in the direction of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, everyone in the capital knelt down.

　　Auspicious signs descended from the sky!

　　The Heavens are blessing our Great Xia!

　　At this moment, be it the civil officials or ordinary people, they became incomparably excited in their hearts. Their confidence in Great Xia also became more abundant, and the overall cohesion had increased greatly.

　　At the same time, Cui Heng, who was conferring a god in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, discovered that the luck of Great Xia was rising, and it was not a small increase.

　　He knew in his heart that this was the will of the people.

　　The auspicious signs produced by the conferment of a God made the people’s hearts lean towards Great Xia, and the destiny of Great Xia naturally increased.

　　The foundation of a country was still the people.

　　A moment later, the purple-gold light in the sky above the Imperial Ancestral Temple gradually dissipated, and the surging clouds gradually calmed down.

　　In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, a handsome, tall, and burly middle-aged man in armor walked out of the purple-gold light.

　　It was Hong Fugui’s fourth son.

　　He was also the future Ancestral God of the Great Xia Kingdom’s Imperial Ancestral Temple and the head of the City Gods System.

　　A God comparable to a Limitless Golden Immortal.

　　Hong Yong!

　　“Greetings, Ancestor! Immortal Venerable’s divine powers are boundless!”

　　At the same time that Hong Yong appeared, Hong Kang, Hong Hong, and Hong Shen immediately knelt and bowed.

　　This was their ancestor.

　　Hong Yong looked at these people in confusion.

　　However, he looked at the surrounding arrangements and his spirit tablet and quickly understood what was going on.

　　“Dispense with the ceremonies,” Hong Yong said to the three descendants.

　　At the same time that he became a God, he had already received the baptism of the power of the Deity Position. His soul and heart had been sublimated. The moment he walked out of the purple-gold light, he had completed the transformation from a human to a God.

　　This also allowed Hong Yong to recover from his original remnant soul state and recall everything about his life, including the portrait that his father often looked at.

　　“Hong Yong greets Mr. Cui!” He knelt in front of Cui Heng with an extremely respectful attitude.

　　It was not only because Cui Heng had conferred him the title of God, but also because this was the gentleman his father, Hong Fugui, had been thinking about.

　　“You recognize me?” Cui Heng looked at Hong Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, and could not help but feel a little emotional.

　　Hong Yong’s eyebrows were very similar to Hong Fugui’s. The resemblance was uncanny.

　　And the title Mr. Cui was also what Hong Fugui called him.

　　“Father personally drew a portrait of you and often took it out to look at,” Hong Yong explained. “Sir, your appearance and temperament have been deeply imprinted in my heart.”

　　“He’s too considerate.” Cui Heng sighed slightly before asking, “Did your parents tell you where they went, and why your remnant soul is attached to the memorial tablet?”

　　According to the contents of Hong Fugui’s letter, he had been besieged by the Immortal sects and Buddhist monasteries of the Heavenly Void World. When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, his wife awakened her memories of her previous life and drove a flying shuttle to leave Daozhou Star with him, wanting to go to Taihong Star to ask for help.

　　However, Taihong Star had already disappeared into thin air 2,000 years ago and was no longer in its original position.

　　If Hong Fugui and the others went to the original location of Taihong Star, they would probably return empty-handed. However, Cui Heng had also considered that Hong Fugui’s wife might not have died and reincarnated over 2,000 years ago, but had reincarnated within these 2,000 years.

　　In that case, it meant that they were not going to where Planet Taihong was originally.

　　“Mother said that she was going to Taihong Star to look for Grandfather to save Father.”

　　Hong Yong recalled and said, “Mother tried to tell me the location of Taihong Star, but my cultivation was insufficient and I didn’t have the ability to memorize the Star Map. At the same time, if they left the Star Map behind, they’ll be worried that the Upper World’s forces will obtain it.

　　Therefore, Mother didn’t leave the Star Map here. However, she said that if I have the chance to step into the universe in the future, I can go to the core of the Dark Sea Star to take a look.

　　There should be a teleportation array there. It was set up by a great divine being who walked out of this starry sky a long time ago. She will leave a Star Map there to guide us.”

　　Dark Sea Star?

　　Cui Heng was slightly stunned when he heard this. This star was really far.

　　Before this, he had already gained a relatively detailed understanding of this galaxy through reading various books.

　　There were a total of seven planets in Daozhou Star’s galaxy.

　　According to the order of distance from the core sun, Daozhou Star was the second, Tianzhu Star was the third, and the Dark Sea Star was the sixth. It was already close to being outside of this galaxy.

　　“Does your mother have any description of that great divine being?” Cui Heng asked.

　　He had already heard of this person many times. He had also asked Li Cheng and the others before, but he did not obtain any useful information.

　　Hong Yong thought for a moment and said, “Mother didn’t say much. She only said that that great divine being was the last Ascender before the Heavens collapsed.”
