Chapter 162: The Sung Dynasty's Devotion to the Divine Triad
The Sung Dynasty, with its vast expanse of trillions of members residing within the Palace of The Divine Legacy and millions spread across Earth, had long stood as a proud lineage of strength and nobility. Yet, as Sung Jin-Woo's influence expanded, his dynasty's devotion took on a new, divine form — one that tied them even closer to the Divine Triad.
Worship of the Ancestors
The legacy of the Sung Dynasty was forever tied to the greatness of Sung Jin-Woo and Sung Su-Ho, the pillars of the dynasty's strength and divine essence. As the Sung Dynasty had grown under their banner, their reverence for these two figures — who were both ancestors and divine beings — deepened. Their devotion went beyond simple familial love; it became a spiritual devotion that elevated them beyond ordinary mortals.
The members of the Sung Dynasty, across both Earth and the Palace of The Divine Legacy, began to worship their ancestors as gods. This wasn't just a matter of respect but a full-fledged religious practice:
1. Sung Jin-Woo's Worshippers: As the God of Shadows and Life, Sung Jin-Woo had already set the example. His influence spanned the realms, but his descendants in the Sung Dynasty held a particularly special reverence for him. They regarded him as the ultimate source of life, creation, and divine power.
2. Sung Su-Ho's Worshippers: Though Sung Su-Ho was more closely associated with the God of Dragons, his power and influence over his followers were undeniable. His worshippers viewed him as the source of dragonic strength and the protector of their bloodline. His dragon heart embodied the core of their shared heritage and divine power.

Granting of the Black Heart
With the Sung Dynasty's worship of their divine ancestors, the second dragon heart that every member possessed became a symbol of their commitment to their heritage and their divine bloodline. These individuals, whether they resided within the Palace of The Divine Legacy or on Earth, were connected to the very source of divine power — the second dragon heart that Sung Su-Ho had passed down. However, Sung Jin-Woo's influence and his status as the God of Shadows and Life meant that those who worshipped him would be blessed with even greater power.
1. Second Dragon Heart: As a key part of their inheritance, the second dragon heart granted all Sung Dynasty members with remarkable strength, stamina, and an unfathomable amount of mana. However, this heart was only a precursor to a deeper connection to the divine.
2. The Third Heart: The Black Heart: Upon reaching level 300, the members of the Sung Dynasty — those who chose to worship Sung Jin-Woo as their divine ancestor — were bestowed with a third heart: the black heart. This heart acted as the ultimate source of mana, enhancing their already formidable strength and providing them with an eternal reserve of power. The black heart was a manifestation of Sung Jin-Woo's divine influence and his control over life and death, symbolizing the endless potential of his followers.
This third heart elevated them to a level of power that rivaled the most elite beings in the multiverse. The black heart strengthened their shadow soldiers, gave them the ability to endure in battle for even longer periods, and connected them to the infinite mana reserves that Sung Jin-Woo himself controlled.
3. The Blessing of Eternal Life: Beyond the physical enhancement that came with the third heart, Sung Jin-Woo's worshippers were also blessed with an ability to live longer, immortal in essence. This divine longevity allowed them to experience an eternity of strength, wisdom, and devotion to their divine ancestor, further solidifying their place in the realms as his eternal vanguard.

The Role of the Sung Dynasty in the Divine Legacy
With their divine hearts, the members of the Sung Dynasty became an ever-growing force under the watchful guidance of Sung Jin-Woo and Sung Su-Ho. Their worship and service to their ancestors reflected the deep connection they held with the Divine Triad, as well as their role in expanding Sung Jin-Woo's influence throughout the realms.
On Earth, they acted as his emissaries, spreading his faith and divine blessings. Their growing power and unbreakable loyalty made them formidable protectors of the realms and the temples that housed his presence.
Within the Palace of The Divine Legacy, they played an even greater role as guardians of the throne and the sacred places of worship. Their power reached far beyond mortal comprehension, and their divine hearts gave them a connection to the very core of the divine triad.
The Dynasty's Unyielding Devotion
Their leveling system, integrated with the worship and reverence for the Divine Triad, ensured that their power was continuously elevated. The system's connection to their ancestors' divine abilities meant that each generation of Sung Dynasty members grew stronger and more attuned to the divine. This led to a new era where the Sung Dynasty was not merely a dynasty of rulers but a unified divine force, bound by the will of their ancestors.
The members of the Sung Dynasty became a living testament to the power of faith, devotion, and divine inheritance, and their eternal worship of Sung Jin-Woo and Sung Su-Ho would shape the future of the multiverse.
As the third heart pulsed with divine energy within their bodies, they became unshakable pillars of strength and loyalty, standing as proud descendants of the Divine Triad, forever tied to the will of the gods they revered.
