Gazing at the starry sky, Ding Yun had now swept up the stars of several nearby galaxies. Not only did he absorb most of the energy from these stars, converting it into sustenance for solidifying his Sun God Physique, but he also conveniently gathered the remnants of these stars, along with the planets and meteorites orbiting them.
He then refined them all into the Five Elements to shape his divine kingdom.
This approach not only prevented the depletion of stars from affecting surrounding planets and causing disturbances throughout the entire star system, but also made his divine kingdom sturdier and more powerful, while reducing the consumption of faith. Both the solidification of his Sun God Physique and the shaping of his divine kingdom could be achieved through pure energy or pure faith, and a combination of both was also perfectly fine.
The main difference lay in the fact that—
When using ordinary energy to solidify his divine physique and shape his divine kingdom, the user's comprehension of laws had to be sufficiently high. For Ding Yun, who possessed the Sun Goddess's Scepter and could directly draw upon the vast sea of universal laws in the origin, and freely enter it to comprehend solar laws, this was naturally not a problem.
Therefore, to conserve faith, Ding Yun was currently using as many nearby, virtually inexhaustible stars and planets as possible to solidify his Sun God Physique.
And to shape his divine kingdom.
In just over half a month, Ding Yun, relying on eighty-one crimson-orange stars, successfully condensed a main god-level Sun God Physique. Every cell in his body was like a tiny sun, and his internal organs were completely devoid of the Five Elements, consisting solely of concentrated solar laws, solar divine power, and solar energy. It was a mixed divine body of energy and laws, capable of easily annihilating the world with every gesture.
In addition, Ding Yun successfully shaped his Sun Divine Kingdom. However, since the divine kingdom was meant to be inhabited, and at least souls needed to reside within it, he naturally couldn't fill it entirely with solar power. Doing so would make it impossible for even weaker sorcerers, let alone souls, to survive. Therefore, while Ding Yun called it a Sun Divine Kingdom, he actually constructed it using methods for building a normal world.
The planets within hundreds of star systems were all refined by Ding Yun into fundamental elements to create the world. Although most of the energy was used to stabilize the divine kingdom's barrier and construct the outer spatial crystalline walls to defend against external enemies, the remaining elements allowed his divine kingdom to span over ten billion square kilometers, roughly double the surface area of the life planet from which he had absorbed faith. It had land, oceans, and mountains, all present. The only deficiency was life; there was no life within the divine kingdom.
Furthermore, because the divine kingdom adopted a flat, circular-heaven-square-earth layout, lighting and warmth were also issues.
Fortunately, there was no life within it for the time being, so it was not a major problem.
"The strength of a main god should be sufficient for now. To break through to a supreme god, one must leverage and master the corresponding laws of the universe, which would cause immense commotion and potentially alert nearby universes.
I have no foundation or power right now, and I am alone, so I should not rush. I will take it slowly.
Next, I need to develop my own forces.
Athena even had to create some Saints, and the God of Light ruled the world with his created race of angels. I can adopt a dual approach: cultivate humans into Sun Warriors and simultaneously create powerful subordinate races that can be born from bathing in sunlight. With me as the core combat power, the subordinates will be the high-end and pillar combat forces.
The Sun Warriors will be the common soldiers.
I can also draw inspiration from concepts like 'eternal flame' and 'rebirth from fire' to ensure that as long as the divine kingdom remains intact and there is sufficient energy, they can be resurrected continuously.
A force that fears no death will be born."
"However, the resources required to create subordinate races should be terrifying. There's no need to rush for now.
I'll focus on cultivating human Sun Warriors first.
The development and improvement speed of humans is a bit slow; they need enough time to grow. Fortunately, I chose the law of the sun. No matter how depleted the magic is in this universe, as long as the universe itself isn't destroyed, any planet will have ample solar energy.
It's just that ordinary people can't absorb solar energy like they absorb spiritual energy.
But with me, the Sun God, as a mediator, there's no problem. I can refine a divine artifact that converts terrifying solar power into positive energy that people can easily absorb, allowing my believers to cultivate.
Yes, the plan should be fine.
Once my divine kingdom is perfected,
I can begin spreading the 'Sun Sacred Canon'."
Seated on the dazzling divine throne constructed from the core of the sun at the center of the divine kingdom, Ding Yun pondered for a long time. After establishing the general direction for the future,
He then descended from the throne, holding the Sun Goddess's Scepter, and began to further modify the divine kingdom, this divine kingdom that lacked the warmth of sunlight and the presence of any life.
The next second, Ding Yun tossed out over seventy star remnants, from which he had absorbed most of the energy but which still contained a considerable amount. Using the Sun Goddess's Scepter, he manipulated the solar laws to modify these star remnants, fusing and then separating them.
Ultimately, he shaped ten small suns.
These suns were much smaller than normal stars.
"I decree that great suns shall hang in the ten directions of heaven and earth, illuminating the land. I decree that it shall be so, day after day, for now."
As Ding Yun was like a creator god within his own divine kingdom, even without the ability of "speech becomes law," he could achieve "speech becomes law" within the divine kingdom. After his voice faded, the ten suns before him obeyed his command and flew to the ten directions of heaven and earth,
Illuminating the entire divine kingdom.
These suns were relatively small, and Ding Yun's divine kingdom was quite large. Ten of them were just enough to illuminate most of the divine kingdom. As for nighttime, seasonal changes, and the like, they were not only troublesome to implement,
But Ding Yun did not need them for the time being.
Although it was perpetual daylight in the divine kingdom, the humans who would eventually inhabit it could build houses and draw curtains to create night for sleeping. As for other creatures, Ding Yun had no intention of migrating them from the outside.
He would simply create some life forms that could adapt to this environment, and the problem would be perfectly solved.
And then, of course, came creation. This was also very simple. Ding Yun directly cheated, taking out many "Seeds of All Things" and "Water of Life" from his soul space.
Not long after, he created tens of thousands of life forms within the divine kingdom that could adapt to the divine kingdom's environment.
In the past, whenever he used his cheat abilities and encountered useful items, Ding Yun would hoard some in his soul space. Now, they had finally come in handy!
With this, the divine kingdom was basically in its rudimentary form. Although it wasn't perfect, at least people could live in it normally.
As for the rest, he would improve it slowly in the future.
