  Staying in this world as its goddess wasn’t going to happen anytime soon, aher was I going to bee the goddess of any world either. I was doh that sort of job. I spent thousands of years doing that in Murim, overseeing absolutely everything, trolling everything, and making sure everyone was happy. It was to.

  Yes, I will offer my prote and guidance, but I won’t be a ruler any more; I don’t want to. Maybe I could bee somewhat of... Well, let’s call me a CEO. I am the CEO of this new little pany I am making, a pany of “rept gods” that will repce the worlds I leave godless.

  After all, it seems to still be quite a big deal; all of that Faith and Divine Essence would go to waste, and I am not someone who likes wasting precious resources. Because even for a Venerable such as myself, these Faith Points and the Divinity I developed are all rather precious.

  So, I decided to give this dragon the privilege of being the god of both thrones, and I get y pert of the Faith he gains—a pretty good bargain, right? pared to just either being killed or spared, simply going back to being a big monster, now all wounded,.

  He accepted anyway; it wasn’t as if he was going to get worse; in fact, he was going to improve a lot from his current situation, even with me taking y pert of his earnings.

  “Fine… I accept. I accept! I-I ’t just reject this opportunity anyway! And you… You would have killed me if I hadn’t, right?”

  "Maybe, or maybe not. I might have let you go, perhaps. But now, you’ve accepted our deal. Sign this paper with your soul.”

  I showed him a long golden paper I summoned out of my Inner Realm, an Oath fed using Primordial Immemorial Venerable Essend many preaterials, a Soul Oath.

  “The terms and ditions are there; you may read them if you please,” I said.

  “Y-Yes, you give me some gsses?” He wondered. “I-I ’t see well without being uer.”

  “Okay.” I gave him a pair of gsses, small but somehow fitting of his gigantic head.

  He looked rather funny as he read the entire paper more carefully. It seemed Leviathan was more reasohan I had inally expected. Or perhaps he retending to care to give me a good impression, and it might be w.

  “So you will be really taking y pert of Faith… It also says I am not allowed to Raid other worlds?! But isn’t that how Gods gain their io begin with?” He asked.

  “You gain Faith over time with followers and churches; how is that not good enough?” I sighed. “Though, I guess I help you if you need souls. You see, I’ve been growing a dungeon myself, one where monsters stantly appear and souls simply materialize out of the Soul Essence I naturally exude, without any pain. So maybe we could find a sustainable way to gain Souls for more Faith Points and Divinity without having to kill i people, and just mindless beasts that get stantly created and recycled out of the “waste” my soul naturally emanates.”

  “What?! That’s a thing, boss?!” He asked, already calling me his boss.

  “It is only theoretically possible for now; I might o gather more power and Dungements before that theory bee a reality,” I expined. “But anyway, are you accepting or not?”

  “Y-Yes!” He nodded as he used his own soul, shaping it into a small little fioug the paper, and leaving his sign, which resembled a big fish.

  FLASH!

  The oath was immediately turned into particles of light that flew toward both of our souls. And it was finally dohe only thi was this…

  “There, you are the new God of Eclipse, Leviathan.”

  I touched his forehead as two powerful Divihrones were given to him. Divihrones was a rather funny thing. They did before these Gods were born, but now that they were sin, they remain.

  They are quite literally the metaphorical seats the Gods use, which allows them to bee pilrs of a world, abs their energy and also the Faith of believers and even their haters. As long as they believe in you, either by hating you or loving you, you gain power.

  The terms and ditions I gave to Leviathan were reasonable: no killing, no evil cults, no raiding other worlds, no drowning the world like he inally wanted as a god, and giving me 90% of his earnings.

  The rest? He do whatever he wants; he start churches, force the churches to fight one another, and bee a corrupt bastard. I don’t care.

  As long as he doesn’t go past a certain line, I’ll allow him to hahings on his own; even as a god, he might punish mortals too.

  No, actually, I am not letting him do that st part uhey’re truly vile people.

  FLASH!

  Leviathan’s appearance ged once he became the God of Eclipse. His blue scales became b one side and golden oher. His two other heads didn’t regrow, though, and from their wounds, a pair of wings came out.

  The bck wing resembled a demonie, and the olden wing was feathered, like those of birds els. His scars weren’t fully healed but became beautiful tattoo-like marks glowing with gold and red light.

  It was as if the wounds I inflicted upon him had “marked” his body, therefore being part of what he is and represents as a God. He even developed a small Divinity out of his already developing one.

  Apparently, when you live almost a million years in a world of magid reach level 50her, your soul begins to naturally form something resembling a Divinity.

  Is this how some Gods might also be born, I wonder?

  Ding!

  [You have allowed {Leviathan, King of the Os} to take both of the avaible Divihrones of the First Floor World: Eclipse.]

  [Leviathan has now bee the God of both Divihrones! His body and soul are barely strong enough to take on the burden of both powers at the same time.]

  [His Developing Divinity has evolved into a full Divinity Tree!]

  [Leviathan has evolved into the [Primordial Serpent God of Creation aru: Leviathan]!]

  [The message of having bee the new God spreads through the whole world!]

  [The entire popution of Eclipse aowledges the existence of their new God.]

  [Eclipse’s Pilrs have stabilized.]

  [Leviathan has been grahe opportunity to create his own Divine Realm.]

  “Looks like it’s done. You want to make your Divine Realm, my disciple?” I asked him.

  “Y-Yes, boss.” He nodded. “If preferably, I get the skies? Now that I fly… I’ve been in the seas for so long; it is tiring.”

  “Okay, I get it.” I nodded. “Let’s go; I’ll help you.”

  We moved to the skies briefly, and as he expanded his Divine Powers, the Thrones did most of the job as a new Divine Realm was formed. For a moment, I thought that I could farm Divine Realms and Divinities by stantly allowing other living beings to take ohrones.

  They o be very strong, though, but it could be possible, right? However, I would never do such a vile and ing thing anyway, and I believe the world doesn’t have endless energy. The Divihrones are fueled by Eclipse’s own World Essence, something that es from the p’s core.

  It regees over time, but it is not something that should be abused, or I would risk getting this world entirely destroyed.

  “Ahh, this realm is so beautiful! The skies! All mine! Hahaha! This feels so nice, boss!”

  “Gd for you. How about y some of your minions back as your subordinates? I remember that goddess had a lot of angelic spirits.”

  “ I do that?!”

  “You should be able to revive them by using their souls left behind. I didn’t take them.”

  “T-Then…!”

  Leviathan wished it, and streams of Divine Essence flowed everywhere as hundreds of souls of many giant and horrid-looking sea beasts appeared around him. They quickly were reborn as Angelic Spirits, gaining big, feathered wings and smaller, cuter appearances.

  Yet they still looked like just flying fish, octopuses, sharks, and squids. I’ve created quite a peculiar Pantheon of a single God and many little Divine Spirits.

  “Master Leviathan, you’ve bee a god!”

  “We are so happy you succeeded iing that human!”

  “Hurray! Hurray!”

  “I talk now?!”

  They were quite an amusing little group of sea monsters.

  They quickly noticed I wasn’t dead, though.

  “Wait a sed, she’s not gone?!”

  “Careful! She’s behind you!”

  “Uaagh!”

  They screamed and cried, trying to alert Leviathan that I was about to attack him from behind.

  “No, it is fine. I am now w below her prote.” He spoke. “She allowed me to gaihrone for... Err, she aowledged my strength!”

  He didn’t want to say that I just had pity for him.

  “Yes, that’s right.” I wi him, deg to go along with his little lie. “He was very strong and mighty, so I simply had to cede the throo him. Admire and praise him; he’s your new god!”

  “Ooh! Lord Leviathan!”

  “Woooohhh!”

  “I always believed in you, my lord!”

  “You look so cool too!”

  “Please give me your babies!”

  “Who said that?!” Leviathan looked around to find a little fish with three heads.

  “Eeep! S-Sorry!” She covered her face with her fins. “I’m just in my egg-ying season…”

  “Hah…” Leviathan sighed. “Anyways, we will start doing godly stuff! W-Whatever that is, actually, I hought I would get this far; what the hell do I even do now?”

  “Hahaha! Well, you start by spreading your doe. I don’t know.” I said. “Maybe make a new church?”

  “How do I do that?! Do I just go down there ahem?!” Leviathan wondered.

  “Yeah, I mean, you should.” I nodded. “Make yourself real to the people; show them you exist.”

  “T-Then…! I will do it!” He said it bravely, but then stepped back. “Aaahh, I am so nervous though! P-Please boss, you e with me? Pleaseeee…”

  It was as if he was a young child, afraid of doing things on his own.

  “I will watch you from afar, but you’ll do things on your own.”

  “O-Okay!”

  Like that, Leviathan desded from the skies. With my own reendations, he appeared as a gigantic mass of light and darkness, surprising everyone as he created an artificial eclipse with his powers.

  “Kneel before your new ruler, mortals! For I am the Primordial Serpent, the devourer of life and the bringer of death! I was born from yods’ corpses; I am both of them, yet I am also my own self!” He roared. “Those who want to bey believers! I will so you miracles! Those with the stro belief will get the best miracles. I will give you csses, special skills, and even items, as long as you offer me your eternal loyalty!”

  “Oooh, a new god?!”

  “It is him, the snake!”

  “H-Holy sh*t, this is the first time this happens iower, right?!”

  “I don’t think so, but it is certainly the first time in our lifespan.”

  “Woah…”

  As he gave his show, I nodded from afar as he looked back at me nervously. Ohe show was over, we retreated back to the heavens.

  “D-Did I do a good job? I was so nervous, I thought I was going to pee myself!” Leviathan cried.

  I patted his big head and ughed.

  “You did well, haha!” I ughed out loud. “Now let’s see what happens. For the moment, I will go bay family and enjoy the rest of the day. You… You should probably rest. Leave your minions and everything else.”

  “I should, yeah... Thank you so much, boss! I will make sure to be a good god!” He said.

  “You better be.” I smiled. “After all, my ine from Faith Points will depend on that.”

  Finally leaving this whole ordeal to the side, I joined back with my entire family, where we ehe beach, ate the delicious sea monsters we hunted, and then moved back to the city, where we reported the st S-Rank quests we pleted.

  "gratutions, Bing Xue! Everyone! You finally pleted all ten missions! You ow climb to the sed floor!” Peperina was very happy.

  Tomorrow was our date, by the way.
