Apotheosis

The so-called "Astronomical Transit" was the phenomenon referred to the moment when some star moved between the sun and the earth, covering a part of the sun's light and creating a huge black spot shadow.

Such a phenomenon wasn't a rare sight in the divine land.

That said, the Astronomical Transit phenomenon was particularly special in Time Sea.

Every few years, a star would completely block out the sun's light. The shadow of the black spot formed would cover the entire Time Sea.

And every time, the star that caused the Astronomical Transit was a different one. More so, the nine stars that appeared before the Sun Blind race's leader took turns causing the Astronomical Transit.

What most people didn't necessarily know was that when the sunlight above the Time Sea was blocked out, it was also the moment when the Time Sea, otherwise known as this big forbidden area, was opened. The nine stars represented the nine different entrances to the Time Sea.

Across all the divine land, there were several different forbidden areas of various sizes and they were constantly being explored by the powerful clans.

As soon as any divine might coins had been condensed, they were snatched by the True Gods from the place. The less divine might coins that existed, the more precious they became. For this reason, True Gods searched for them crazily, and eventually, it caused a vicious cycle.

For the Time Sea though, this forbidden area was only opened on Astronomical Transit Day.

Throughout any other period of time, no one ever travelled there to explore. The divine might coins that were formed would slowly pile up, and to the True Gods of the powerful clans, the place was genuinely a huge treasure trove!

All the powerful clans hoped for the possibility that every one of their warriors from the Floating Islands would enter the Time Sea on Astronomical Transit Day, and collect the numerous divine might coins.

Unfortunately though, this would never occur because the Sun Blind race had a harsh rule – only the True Gods they invited were eligible to participate in the Astronomical Transit Day celebration.

As for the rule the Sun Blind race had to invite their guests, now, that was still unclear.

In general, the stronger their strength and the more talented they were, the more chances they had of being invited. However, occasionally, there were certain obscure people from the Floating Islands that also happened to be invited to the event. No one really understood why, or how.

At the beginning, the rich clans would continuously organize a batch of True Gods that waited to be invited by the Sun Blind race on Astronomical Transit Day, but the Sun Blind race still stuck to their usual rule for inviting guests. In the end, the rich clans on the Floating Islands gave up their tactics. On Astronomical Transit Day, an

way had finished forming and became completely stable, all of the consummate True Gods present exchanged glances.

Whoosh!

Rachelle was the first one to rush into the passageway, without a second's hesitation.

Shortly after, the consummate True Gods of other powerful clans began to fly into the passage, one after the next.

Although there were no written rules about who should enter first, the True Gods present still entered the passageway according to their cultivation levels. The ones with higher cultivation levels always had priority, no matter the situation or event at hand.

The consummate True Gods' goal was not the amazing quantity of divine might coins!

The consummate True Gods were followed by top-rank True Gods, and then mid-rank True Gods, and finally, the low-rank True Gods.

Laquisha, on her behalf, didn't wait for Aleyna, or any of the others in fact. With her back to Zen, she secretly kept an eye on him. What she observed though was nothing more than Aleyna, Kelsey and Zen muttering to each other.

She didn't stop before them, but rushed into the passage on her own instead.

"Ah! Why didn't Laquisha wait for us?" Aleyna's mouth was wide open in surprise.

"Let's go!" Without any hesitation, Zen walked toward the passageway with Aleyna and Kelsey following right behind him.

This was the first time that Zen had entered a forbidden area in the divine land. He was amazed!

According to his judgment, the divine land's forbidden areas were also places imagined by all True Gods, which were made from the Faith Energy. He wondered what the forbidden area in the Time Sea was like.

Just as Zen entered though, he saw something that astonished him even more. Except for the consummate True Gods who had already disappeared without a trace, the True Gods that had rushed inside earlier were all crazily gathering the divine might coins on the ground...
