After sending off Zhang Yan, Sullo returned to his bedroom and sat cross-legged on the bed. He took a look at the faith power he had obtained previously.
1,000 faith points could refine a wisp of faith power.
1
The current Sullo had accumulated a total of 1,000 wisps of faith power in a few days.
3
Back then, the Academy had funded him to ignite his divine flame and open up a divine domain. However, that was just 1,000 faith power.
After just a few days, he had managed to make back that number.
Sullo took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the faith power.
10, 100, 1,000…
As time passed, the speed at which Sullo absorbed faith power became faster and faster.
His divine personality also rapidly changed during this process.
From a pitch-black crystal, it became multi-colored and translucent.
In the dark, Sullo had a feeling that he could inscribe his ability into his divine personality.
It could allow ordinary skills to evolve into a powerful divine skills.
For example, the Falling Lightning Skill he had learned at the demigod stage could evolve into the Thunder Divine Skill—Thunder and Lightning.
The Earth Flame Skill could evolve into the Fire Divine Skill—Sea of Fire Blazing Sun.
However, Sullo didn’t do that.
By joining the War Theological Seminary, he would be able to learn true divine arts techniques instead.
He planned to inscribe the divine war technique, the Spatial Gate, into his divine personality so that it would become his own original divine technique.
In addition, Sullo also discovered the drawback of his divine domain being too large in scale.
When one’s strength increased, one would need more faith power to be able to maintain it.
For ordinary gods, their faith power would increase little by little at a steady rate.
However, the scale of Sullo’s divine domain was 1,000 times that of an ordinary God. Naturally, the amount of faith power he needed was even greater.
When he had used up his faith power, Sullo let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
In that instant, there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes, followed by a flash of lightning.
The lights in the room began to flicker, the wind howling and crackling.
Not only that, the divine halo that rested on Sullo’s head had completed its transformation from illusory to real.
It was like a brilliant sun, constantly emitting a five-colored light. It was incomparably mystical.
“Yes! I’ve finally broken through! I’m now a god on the same level as the Academy’s Instructors! I just don’t know if I’ll be able to defeat someone like the combat division leader.”
1
The preparatory seminary’s instructors were all of a high-quality god-level, even people like his teacher, Zhang Yan, and the red-robed goddess.
As for the head of the combat department and the head of education, they were both considered High Gods.
Although Sullo had just broken through to the god level, he had the divine domain of the thousand planets.
He also had his World Trees and Divine Domain Snakes, both of which were at the mythical level.
His battle prowess was definitely not something an ordinary god could compare to.
Even a High God would not have a good chance of going up against him.
He still had enough confidence that he was in an undefeatable position.
After completing his breakthrough, Sullo entered the divine domain.
At this moment, the divine domain had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
His divine domain, which originally only had 1,000 planets, once again expanded in scale with his breakthrough.
Not long after Sullo’s breakthrough, it had already expanded to the extent of 1,500 planets.
And as time passed, the plane’s expansion continued.
When Sullo’s divine might appeared in the divine domain, it immediately attracted the attention of the two great believer races.
“Almighty God! It is your mighty power that has given us a new life. Your brilliance has spread throughout the human world.”
“Merciful God! You have given us hope and let us see the path ahead clearly.”
“May your divine power be eternal. May your glory be eternal…”
Whether it was the World Trees or the Divine Domain Snakes, they were all singing to their heart’s content about Sullo’s greatness. Their voices were filled with piety and fanaticism.
Wisps of faith power flew out from the believers’ bodies and were collected by Sullo.
However, he didn’t choose to store it this time.
Instead, he burned the faith power immediately to speed up the expansion of his divine domain.
Countless strands of faith power burned, causing the divine domain which had stopped expanding to accelerate in growth once again.
The crystal wall of the divine domain continued to expand, life planets being born from the chaos.
When all the faith power burned up, the divine domain’s crystal wall finally stabilized.
Sullo’s divine domain had reached a terrifying scale of 2,000 planes, doubling in size.

Not to mention ordinary gods, even the vast majority of High Gods wouldn’t have a divine domain of this scale.
Finally, Sullo took the low-grade divine artifact Zhang Yan had left behind, the crystal flame shield.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You’ve obtained a low-grade divine artifact—the crystal flame shield. You have triggered the thousand-fold amplification technique. You have obtained a sovereign artifact, the divine armor…]
Sullo was stunned for a moment but was soon filled with joy.
Divine artifacts were extremely useful to a god.
Whether it was defensive, offensive, or supportive divine artifacts, they could greatly increase a god’s power.
For example, the crystal flame shield, a low-grade divine artifact, was able to allow a demigod to withstand three attacks from a god.
At critical moments, this was a life-saving trump card!
The reason why Sullo looked down on it was because his strength had already surpassed that of a normal god and was even comparable to some High Gods.
However, after the thousand-fold amplification technique was triggered on the crystal flame shield, a low-grade divine artifact became a low-grade sovereign artifact.
Although it seemed like only a difference of a single word in the name, there was much more than that.
The quality of a divine artifact corresponded to that of a god. Ordinary artifacts were usually divided into categories, such as sovereign artifacts, Divine King Artifacts, and so on. Each grade itself also had its own three grades: upper, middle, and lower-grade artifacts.
A sovereign artifact was a treasure that only some experienced and elderly Main Gods were qualified to possess!
Not to mention other things, even those in the preparatory seminary alone couldn’t possibly have a sovereign artifact.
It could be seen just how valuable Sullo’s sovereign artifact was.
[Divine Armor: makes one immune to one Main God attack and ten high-grade attacks every day. It can also conceal its own information and cannot be affected by any sort of divination or detection.]
If those old gods outside were to learn of this Divine Armor’s existence, they would definitely go crazy.
The first thing Sullo did was equip the Divine Armor on himself.
This thing was indeed worthy of being a low-grade sovereign artifact. It could automatically hide itself and even change its shape.
As long as he didn’t pour divine power into it, no one would be able to discover the existence of this sovereign artifact.
With it, Sullo finally had a life-saving divine artifact. It was also able to shield himself from malicious gazes. It had arrived just in time.
Although, with his current strength, even a god one rank higher wouldn’t be able to pose a threat to him.
But of course, the more trump cards he had, the better.
Three days later, Sullo finished his rest and left the preparatory seminary, heading straight to the War Theological Seminary to report his attendance.
The person who welcomed him was an extremely beautiful blonde goddess dressed in a white robe. She was also Sullo’s future teacher.
“Welcome, Sullo. Welcome to the War Theological Seminary.”
The new teacher was very enthusiastic as she began to explain everything about the seminary to Sullo.
Although she looked very young on the surface, she was definitely an old High God who had lived for more than a thousand years.
The new instructor told Sullo that the Spatial Gate technique could only be taught after officially entering the school.
Sullo was already mentally prepared for this, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the instructor called over another extremely beautiful goddess.
“Lin Yan, this is the new junior.. Take him around so that he can familiarize himself with the rest of the school’s environment.”
