Guild Wars-Chapter 1134 Pantheon Established!

By the time Draco was done inspecting the details of the core members power ups, the Pantheon was done being built. Since it was only a Tier 0 building at this time, it looked like a small cathedral in a ramshackle town rather than the grand building he had seen in Supreme City. 

That did not bother Draco as he knew that with his and his people's prowess, they would soon raise it to the highest level and even surpass that greedy Supreme Pantheon! 

The land around the area had been completely rested and was filled with life once more, but was silent due to the lack of living things. The nearest grey rot mist was over 40,000 kilometers away, and it was slowly coming back with each second. 

It would take about a millennia for it to cover that distance and return, which was more than enough time for Draco to destroy its source altogether. 

Draco hovered down and stood in front of the cathedral, then pushed the door open. The interior design was very similar to the Rank 7 Church they had in Vita Kingdom with the internal layout and the lack of pews. 

There was space for the placement of three busts for worship. One main god and two followers gods were allowed. Seeing as that was the case, Draco consecrated himself as the main god while establishing Eva and Shuangtian as the two follower gods. 

The two beauties naturally protested and demanded to be the main gods, but how could Draco allow this? He shamelessly suppressed the two of them using various dirty tricks until they were both furious and red-faced. 

With that dealt with, he came out and looked around. Well, it was a cathedral in the middle of nowhere with lush grass around for miles but not a single person. 

Who was supposed to come and worship, the air? 

Naturally, Draco had to bring mortals up from the lower realm to live and worship them, otherwise how could they establish a city and prosper? 

Luckily, this wasn't a problem once one established a pantheon. Every pantheon offered a direct channel for ascension of mortals beings and even Rank 7's to True Gods as long as they qualified. The pantheon also benefited from this, but that would be explained later.

When he opened the pantheon menu, he saw that the pantheon itself was still unnamed. He then consulted with Eva and Shuangtian on hat to name and a round of battling ensued.  𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝞳

Draco chose the name 'Draco' for the pantheon. 

Eva chose the name 'Celestial Paragons' for the pantheon. 

Shuangtian chose the name 'Divine Umbra' for the pantheon. 

Naturally, Draco was beaten to the side while the real decision was made between Eva and Shuangtian's suggestions. Eventually, Shuangtian won since Eva kinda felt that the name fit since the pantheon would belong to Umbra's members in the future. 

As for Draco, he was furious and sulking that his genius idea for the name was unanimously rejected. He input the name as Divine Umbra and the building trembled a bit as a name plaque appeared above the door which was written in almighty cursive. 

Draco moved to the special room in the pantheon building which acted as the passageway, which was like a small scale portal center with only one portal at the end. He glanced at the deactivated passageway and though about where to connect it to. 

Vita Kingdom, the Ancestral City of Dragons or the Morningstar World? 

Before Draco could open the passageway, menu a system announcement rang out. 

｢Boundless System-wide Announcement 

Player Draco has created the first player owned Pantheon, Vita. Players can now ascend to the Divine World through the pantheon's Ascension Road to experience a new map! All players who complete the Ascension Road challenge gain a permanent 500% exp gain rate as we as as Pseudo-Divine Source Origin (temporary). The Pantheon also has a permanent 20% bonus Aether Coin and Divine Essence reward for True God players who function out of it.｣ 

Seeing this notification, the players who were doing their shiz down on the main plane immediately exploded in uproar. They rushed to the newly opened player forums and then the [General Chat] to vent their shock.

Dirty Devil: "Okay, hold on a second! Did anyone else see what Draco just did? He's got his own freaking Pantheon now?! How is this dude leveling up so fast? It's like he's on divine steroids or something!" 

Mystic Mage: "LOL, right? I can't even keep up with his progress. He's probably got some secret cheat code." 

Legendary Noob: "I'm just sitting here, trying to reach level 50, and this dude is ascending to godhood? It's not fair, I tell you!" 

[Thread: Bruh, we have to put a stop to this guy! Posted by: Dao Lord.]  I think you should take a look at

Dao Lord: Alright, team, let's gather all the strength we can muster. Draco might be unstoppable, but we can't just sit here and let him overshadow us all! 

Arcane Archer: "Yeah, let's form an alliance and take him down! Who's with me?" 

Chaos Caster: "I'm in! This will be the battle of the century!" 

Undine Juice: "Tsk, a bunch of RETARDS." 

[Thread: Life is not tasty right now, how am I supposed to feel about this?! Posted by: Life is Tasty.] 

Life is Tasty: "Seriously, my gaming life just took a nosedive. Draco is making us look like noobs in comparison." 

Epic Elf: "Don't worry, buddy, we'll figure something out. We can't let this Draco guy ruin our fun." 

[Thread: Ha, I have no idea why you guys are complaining. What can you do about it? Posted by: Guyver Dan.] 

Guyver Dan: "Hahaha! Chill, everyone. Draco's like the Chuck Norris of this game. He's unbeatable!" 

Super Gamer Gal: "You have a point, Guyver Dan. Maybe we should just accept our fate as mere mortals in the presence of a divine being." 

Sudo Bee: "I know right? These guys are tripping for sure." 

Elves are Lewd: "Seriously, all the drama over Draco's Pantheon is cracking me up. It's a game, people, let's just have fun!" 

Jester Jinx: "I agree! Let's take it easy and enjoy the show. Maybe Draco will bless us with some epic quests or something." 

Divine Diva: "Oh, honey, I'm just here for the divine fashion. I hope Draco's got some fabulous divine outfits in store for us!" 

[Thread: Divine Fashion! Posted by: Divine Diva.] 

Divine Diva: "Alright, ladies and gents, let's discuss the most important thing about Draco's Pantheon - the fashion! I demand divine accessories and sparkling wings!" 

Fashionista Fiend: "Oh, darling, I can't wait to see what divine haute couture Draco will bring to the table!" 

Dapper Dude: "Count me in too! I want a divine tuxedo and a matching divine top hat!" 

Draco looked through the threads out of boredom and was amused. The players would always be the source of interest and joy in this world, and their reactions were refreshing to see, especially those who were unwilling. 

Now that his attention was back on the Pantheon's matters, he decided to link the passageway to Vita Kingdom's Rank 7 church. Immediately the connection was facilitated and the announcement was made to all players that they could take the Ascension Road mission from the church. 

However, they had to pay a price to use Divine Umbra Pantheon's passageway, which was split into three types. Upfront Payment, Indentured Contract and Permanent Membership. 

Upfront payment was straightforward, you paid a price set by Draco to use the Ascension Road once. Indentured contract was basically using the road for free, but you would have to serve either Umbra or its Pantheon assuming you pass or fail. Permanent Membership was basically becoming a member of Umbra's Pantheon and paying a permanent 5% tax on all gains regardless of money, Divine Essence and other things. 

Draco set the upfront price to 1 Low-grade Aether Crystal per attempt. It wasn't that he needed the money, but he had to set a high bar since the current playerbase were not even qualified to deal with World Bosses on the main plane, much less come into contact with the almighty grey rot. 

An Aether Crystal was something completely out of their grasp currently, and they wouldn't have access to it until they reached a higher Rank and had the requisite power. The only players who could get it were the members of Umbra, and they were automatically guaranteed spots in the pantheon. 

Draco was satisfied with this so far. Now, the only thing was to bring the NPC mortals up so that they could start building the territory and occupying the space. Luckily, they could use the same passageway, but they didn't have to face any challenge. 

That challenge was reserved for players only. Also, Rank 7 NPCs who wanted to ascend could also use Draco's passageway as long as they too paid a price and passed a challenge. 

However for the, this was far more crucial. Many powerhouses were not weak or untalented, but simply could not rise because the link between the main plane and the Divine World was not solid. 

The 'general' ascension passageway was still there, but it led to a grey rot consumed zone. The passageway belonging to the supreme pantheon was in the Church of Light, but they only used it to descend and did not allow anyone to ascend. 

As such, they did not have access to information on how to condense laws nor did they have the Divine World's environment which made the comprehension of laws much easier, nor did they have the ability to acquire or sense Divine Energy naturally, which was abundant in the Divine World. 

Simply speaking, the old era was straightforward. Once you reached the higher levels of Rank 7, you would ascend for better prospects and then upgrade to a True God. Otherwise, how could such a huge Divine World be populated from end to end? 

This was also why pantheons were important, they were like guilds one could choose that suited ones taste and the kind of law they were going for. Pantheons often increased the rate of comprehension according to their tier, so both Rank 7's and True Gods benefited from it. 

Not to mention that items were usually produced and sold that could guarantee the learning of a law. Just as Draco used Divine Blacksmithing to create equipment that could allow one to learn a law, he could use his Divine Alchemy to allow anyone to ascend to True Godhood through law or Source Origin. 

Bluntly speaking, becoming a True God wasn't hard. What was difficult was climbing the various grades of True God and also becoming an Origin God. Now THAT, was difficult. 

Draco sent a message down to the members of Umbra to hurry up and reach the peak of Rank 7 asap so they could help him. While they excitedly gave him their affirmations as their thoughts were filled with greed towards the Divine World, the passageway lit up. 

From the depths of the swirling black light, Draco had to squint as he saw three silhouettes form slowly. His spatial abilities told him that these three forms were traveling over from a very far distance and they should be coming at the same time. 

Not only that, both Draco's heart beat and his libido swelled as he recognized those three forms as they began to solidify. 

The one on the left was thicc as hell with a thin waist and large hips that told of voluminous backside. 

The one in the middle was also thicc, just one slightly lower level than the one on the left, but her posture was innocent and ramrod straight. 

The one on the right was extremely sexy, with soft curves that caused one to shout 'sex!' in their minds.
