The Growth of a God

Chapter 834 - 16: Atum’s Winged Divine Dragon

For Aten’s proposal, Atum almost had no possibility of refusal.

Whether out of friendship or duty, resurrecting Osiris was Atum’s only option.

Thus, when Aten and Atum reached a consensus, Li Hao, who had been watching the whole time, naturally had no reason to refuse.

Among Li Hao’s eight apostles, Storm, Death, Ocean, Earth, and Flame were already in position; currently, only Thunder, Life, and Movement were absent.

Regarding the concept of "Movement", Li Hao actually had great hope for Yayu and Aten.

The former was the Child of the Candle Dragon, wielding the Erosion of Yin Fire, naturally fitting the concept of "Movement".

The latter was the original Sun, resurrected from the past to the present as the Sun God, similarly having experiences of time travel.

Unfortunately, Yayu considered himself burdened by Original Sin, unwilling to become Li Hao’s apostle while carrying it.

Aten, on the other hand, maintained his pride as the original Sun.

Confident that he would achieve greater accomplishments than Li Hao in the future, he chose to give his opportunity to Atum.

So, would Li Hao choose to let Atum become his "Movement Apostle"?

After considering carefully, Li Hao gave a negative answer.

This wasn’t because Li Hao looked down on Atum, thinking him unqualified to be his apostle.

On the contrary, as a creator of past glory, Atum’s willingness to become his apostle made Li Hao feel flattered.

The real reason Li Hao changed his mind was seeing Atum clearly needed the Power of "Life" more now.

Swoosh!

Thus, when the brilliance of Life blossomed on Atum.

The low dimension Entity created by Aten could no longer confine Him, the surging Life Force instantly causing the entire Mountain and Sea Realm to tremble.

[This is... the vitality of Life!]

This wasn’t Atum’s first time recognizing the terror of the Creator of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but it was undoubtedly His most impressive experience.

At this moment, Atum seemed to have incarnated into the Mountain and Sea Realm itself, with all life within His perception bowing before Him.

Though this Power couldn’t match Atum’s full glory at His peak.

Yet the unique lively vitality of the Mountain and Sea Realm was something Atum had never seen before.

In a trance, Atum felt like He was witnessing the birth of another "Ascension Area".

The illusion brought by that vigorous Life Force even made Atum feel an impulse to overturn all rules of Death.

Luckily, Atum quickly restrained that impulse, refocusing His gaze on the low dimension Entity.

Because He knew this Power, like the current Power of Faith supporting Him, was someone else’s acknowledgment, not His true capabilities.

"Osiris, rise again!"

The striking Ankh Cross appeared out of thin air, over the Black Obelisk.

In the next second, the Supreme Divine Format fragment within the Black Obelisk rapidly spread, dyeing the black Obelisk a dazzling gold.

At this moment, the Black Obelisk was more an incubating golden divine egg than an obelisk.

Gathered with the fragments of Osiris and the Supreme Divine Format, an indescribable entity gradually formed.

It was the incarnation of Osiris, yet not the true Osiris.

At least, until the Resurrection ceremony was fully completed, He couldn’t be crowned with the name "Osiris".

Swoosh!

Golden light surged through the low dimension Entity, shining on Jingxu Heaven like the true sun.

......................................................

Jingxu Heaven, forward-research observation station.

"I told you it’s the sun!"

As the sunlight gradually blossoms from within the low dimension Entity, the Spider Woman’s six eyes struggled to keep up.

That golden light was full of vitality, reviving all it passed, clouds gathering anew.

And this was just the scene observable by unmanned observation machines.

A deeper, fundamental change was quietly occurring within Jingxu Heaven.

Though Fu Yu and the Spider Woman couldn’t penetrate such changes, the driver of Sky City’s Artificial God realized their emergence.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Leveraging the high-dimension view of the Artificial God, the forward-research observation station quickly summarized an enormous amount of data.

So in a very short time, the major stations and quantum computers of Sky City were overloaded.

Forced by circumstances, the forward-research observation station had to contact the Mountain and Sea Realm’s top echelon, using the full computational power of the Mountain and Sea Network to analyze the current situation.

"This... how is it possible..."

Without debating with the Spider Woman, Fu Yu’s brain-computer also merged with the Mountain and Sea Network, providing slight computational support for the forward-research observation station.

Thanks to this, the latest intelligence on Jingxu Heaven’s changes also entered its view.

Swoosh!

The light released from that golden sphere was altering Jingxu Heaven’s ecology visibly.

As the direct beneficiaries of this ecological and even dimensional change, the Spiritual Jellyfish collectively seemed to undergo some sort of evolution and transformation.

Sizzle... sizzle...

Like freshly hatched eagles.

A fledgling radiating golden light was hatching from within the Spiritual Jellyfish.

They possessed humanoid postures, a pair of wings resembling burning flames unfurling behind them.

Like a Phoenix reborn from the ashes, yet also like a burning Immortal Bird...

Under the reflection of the flames, the fledgling’s feathers rapidly hardened, developing a structure akin to armor on their surface.

Protected by this biological armor, each fledgling could safely pass through their juvenile phase.

For these fledglings weren’t ordinary animals but divine creatures inheriting the Netherworld King Osiris’s Divine Format.

Boom!

At that moment, an abrupt explosion echoed throughout Jingxu Heaven.

Thereafter, under countless gazes, the low dimension Entity forming the golden sphere shattered abruptly.

A huge Immortal Bird, somewhat resembling the golden fledglings, suddenly flew from the golden sphere.

"Woo!"

The massive Immortal Bird spread its wings and soared, drawing a response from all the golden fledglings.

"..."

Veiled by overwhelming flames, Atum and others kept their eyes fixed on the Immortal Bird circling in the sky.

From Atum and the others’ viewpoint, it was clear that the Immortal Bird was more a variant of the Nether Dragon than a bird.

Sharp teeth, taut muscles...

Accompanied by its already fierce visage, none doubted the Immortal Bird’s bloodthirsty nature.

"Have we... succeeded?"

After a long silence, Batis was the first to voice the question.

"Should be considered a success, right?"

Involuntarily fluttering his wing casings, Aten murmured uncertainly.

"Under the influence of the ’Supreme Divine Format’ fragment, all of Osiris’s Divine Fragments have evolved into divine creatures."

"Just give them a little time next, and they can successfully awaken Osiris’s memories, becoming the incarnation of that Nether King."

When speaking here, Aten intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Atum beside him.

In a sense, these divine creatures transformed from Osiris’s Divine Fragments were naturally Atum’s Clan.
