Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 817 456: Heavenly Temple, Advent of the Giant Beasts' Era

Rumble——
The sky and earth seemed to merge into one at this moment, transforming into chaos. At the core of this chaos was where Noah stood.
Using his newly acquired power and authority, he stood atop the altar to create a temple. He wished for a part of the World Will to reside here, to manifest tangibly, and to receive offerings in real-time and bestow gifts in return.
The sacrifice ritual brought Noah great insights and reflections. The World Will was far more generous than Noah had imagined, giving so much that Noah wanted to establish a stable worship site, so there wouldn't need to be such a grand spectacle each time.
It was precisely because of Noah's audacious acts that the heavens and earth trembled.
Now with just a part of the World Will, akin to a child's mind, it wouldn't tolerate Noah's actions. No child likes to be restrained, let alone the World Will.
"Be good, reside here, and I'll give you candy every now and then!"
Noah had decided that every ten years, he would hold a grand sacrifice for all nations. The root rules that the World Will had just shown him were too marvelous, leaving him enamored and intoxicated, though their duration was too short.
He would have loved to remain in such a state, experiencing the world's root rules, but the world refused to show him more. But even so, the recent insight left a long-lasting impression on Noah, with much gained.
Sigh—
Under Noah's coaxing and because he had given so much at once, a wisp of will, devoid of thought, emotion, or consciousness, descended into the temple Noah had constructed, transforming into an indefinable luminous glow, with myriad colors evolving within, encompassing all things in the world.
"Good child!"
Seeing that the World Will acted as he wished, Noah couldn't help but praise, but such a title didn't elicit any reaction from the World Will, as it simply didn't care.
Once everything was complete, even though the recently awakened World Will dissipated like the wind and clouds, the remaining essence made the altar temple Noah constructed different; it was not only majestic and grand but also carried a sense of ethereal, supreme sanctity.
"Henceforth, only those approved by me may enter the Heavenly Temple for worship!"
The World Will is indeed generous, but if the specifications and quantity of offerings are insufficient, the feedback given won't mean much to Noah but might still be valuable to other beings.
Therefore, Noah decided that in the future, grand sacrifices would be presided over by him, while smaller ones could be handled by his descendants, but it must be in the name of the father and the ancestors.
Once the wisp of the World Will settled and no longer changed, ensuring its permanence, Noah was satisfied and turned to leave, looking at the space below the altar.
Even though the sky had cleared, and the sun lacking much sense of presence reappeared, the world remained silent.
No cries or roars were heard. Noah's subjects, favored ones, and numerous vassals, as well as the vassal monarchs and ambassadors who came to pay tribute, were filled with shock, not daring to utter a word.
In truth, such silence had persisted for a long time. It was only until Noah completed the sacrifice to the World Will that this was seen.
Though they could not perceive the descent of the World Will, they could feel that supreme and holy, unsurpassed majesty, like the subtle shifts in the weather; unseen, yet the body could feel it.
Even if the reborn, concentrated World Will was, in Noah's eyes, like a child, it still stirred fear and unease among the vassal states' monarchs and ministers who came to pay tribute.
At this moment, even the most foolish realized what the Holy Dragon meant by 'Heavenly.' It didn't refer to any specific Divine, but to the supreme will of their world.
If everything the Holy Dragon did was to sacrifice to Heaven, then it was understandable why the Divine intentionally issued an oracle and refrained from interference.
No Divine would oppose the World Will, as it would be meaningless and quite foolish. Even the mightiest Divine couldn't outlast a world.
Of course, to this day, there's no record of any Divine opposing a world. Instead, more often, the Divine sees the material world as a pasture, raising cattle and sheep.
"Perfect timing to give it a try!"
Noah glanced at the altar, at the offerings not chosen by the World Will, those left behind, and in his gleaming golden dragon eyes, a hint of indifference and callousness emerged.
The source energy bestowed upon him by the World Will had been consumed, but the authority granted to him remained unused. Nor did Noah know the extent of what such authority could achieve.
Thus, Noah's will transformed into a ripple perceptible to all beings in the Material Realm, spreading endlessly across the material world like ripples on the water's surface.
But only those who exist above the water's surface could observe these ripples, influenced by these waves. Such entities are exceedingly rare and numbered, yet their existence forms the foundation of the world's stability.
Rumble——
In the distant Central Earth, breathtaking fissures tore through the mountains and ground, and the once magnificent and expansive forest, akin to the goddess's long skirt, suddenly revealed hideous cracks.
