Above the Divine Court, the six ancestral dragons representing the Qian Dynasty's fate shuddered unceasingly.
One could clearly see that every time Jiang Chen bestowed divinity upon a god, the Qian Dynasty's fate faded slightly.
The so-called divine positions are essentially a manifestation of the Qian Dynasty's national fate. Gods possess the power to move mountains and seas, but whence comes this power? It is the national fate that empowers the gods. Thus, the national fate is what's expended when gods are made.
