Aside from the godly fire ceremony that was taking place on in the Kelermo Kingdom, far away, at the end of the ocean, the same ceremony was taking place in an orc kingdom's Colossus College, which was established at the same time as the Kelermo Kingdom.
Although there were some ripples that occurred, Felix had still been able to successfully transform the body of divine characteristics. However, he had given up on the idea of summoning the divine personality to the world.
In the Hailuga Kingdom, which was on the ocean, the belief of the Master of Storm had spread throughout the entire ocean, distinguishing itself from the God of the Sea that the sahagins believed in. The God of Sea was in control of the sea, while the Master of Storm was in charge of the storms and all other natural catastrophes. As such, there was a clear demarcation line between humans and sahagins based on these different belief systems.
With the emergence of gods and new religions and belief systems, the power and influence of the gods had quickly spread to every corner of the world. They now covered the world like intertwined threads.
At the moment, a light shadow arrived from the distant outer space. An enormous beast was flying toward the west end of the world. The scales on its body looked like gemstones, and they were reflecting the light, making a prismatic effect that looked like a beautiful rainbow.
It was mesmerizing creature that seemed as if it should only exist in myths. Its entire body seemed to be made of gemstones. Its body was streamline-shaped, and it had a long neck and a crystal mask on its head.
As its giant wings flapped in mid-air, the gusting sound of wind was thunderous. This was a dragon that was completely different from those found in Maria's World.
This dragon was as large as a small hill, and there seemed to be a dimming shadow on its back. This shadow was actually a teenage girl, who looked like a beautiful angel. Her blonde hair gleamed in the sunlight, and a magical light seemed to be dancing on her skin as well.
She was a god, and as she was riding the gemstone dragon, she seemed to be patrolling the world and the kingdom that she now managed. The force that was coming from the giant dragon and this teenage girl god quieted even the ocean. Even the monsters that lived in the nearby mountains and seas, no matter how ferocious they were, ran and hid themselves deeper into the islands or the ocean in fear.
"Adolphus! Why are not there yet? Hurry up! You're too slow!" Verthandi urged the giant gemstone dragon Adolphus to quicken the pace.
"Relax, I am the fastest dragon you could ever find. We're almost there, Verthandi, my lord!" Adolphus said to placate Verthandi. It didn't have the personality of a giant dragon, but acted more like a doting puppy instead.
At this moment, Adolphus was enjoying being ridden by Verthandi, so it was smirking and cheering as they flew. When Verthandi and Delmedi were still kids, they used to sit on Adolphus' back just like that, while flying through sky above the Floating-space City.
This marked the first time that Adolphus had ever left the Floating-space City. Before this, it could only sneak a peek at the ground from the sky in Floating-space City, so even though it knew that there were creatures of its kind elsewhere in the world, it had never seen any of them.
Now, it was heading toward the Dragon Island, where all of the dragons lived! In fact, it was all of the giant dragons' hometown! Adolphus was very excited to see it!
As Adolphus flew across the Bazaar Sea, the giant dragon island in the distance began to appear and grow larger. It was called Dragon Island by the dragon race, but to humans, it would be called a continent.
There were groups of active volcanoes on that continent, which exploded several volcanoes every year. There were also many other mesmerizing scenes on the islands, including a range of bizarre rock mountains.
There were rock pillars and volcanoes along the coastline. Often, the huge ocean waves would hit the pillars, causing the water to splash everywhere.
Many areas of the island looked poor, and the mountains looked somewhat brown in patches, as these areas were exposed and didn't have anything growing on them. However, in other places, there was lush vegetation and numerous trees were growing luxuriantly, sprouting directly from the volcanic ash.
There were also many volcanic craters. In fact, the largest mountain had several craters, which were filled with flowing lava that shined with a fiery red light.
"Hou!" As it flew, the gemstone dragon Adolphus was yelling with excitement.
Its loud yell caused the thin clouds to immediately scatter. The sound even carried to the owner of this island, alerting him to these approaching intruders, causing the owner to immediately rush out to see who it was.
At that moment, several groups of giant dragons surged into the sky and flew toward the gemstone dragon Adolphus. After all, this giant dragon looked bizarre and strange to them, and moreover, it was being ridden by a teenage girl! Being ridden was something that these giant dragons considered to be totally shameful!
Although the force that was coming from Adolphus was incredibly powerful and the teenage girl who was riding it also looked spectacularly imposing, these native dragons refused to cower After all, they were proud giant dragons!
"What kind of dragon is that? It's a weird dragon that I've never seen before!" a red female giant dragon commented with its hoarse voice.
Another adult black dragon immediately replied, "This can't be a dragon! It's too strange! It must be a monster that was created by humans. But, regardless, it's an intruder!"
"Kill them!" all of the dragons shouted in unison.
Suddenly, Adolphus saw several giant dragons heading toward it, readying an attack! Soon, an enormous fire ball headed toward Adolphus in the sky, as well as iced spears and iced arrows!
"Time pause!" Adolphus screamed.
At this moment, a trace of light shot out of Adolphus' body, then quickly covered the entire area. All of a sudden, time seemed to stand still, and all of the native dragons' attacks were frozen.
This power was a characteristic of a mythical creature, and the specific ability that Adolphus had to freeze time had come from Eva. This ability belonged to a strong power of domain that had first been explored by Lu Zhiyu.
At the moment it stopped time in that domain, Adolphus had a giant clock in its eyes, and suddenly, it saw all of the attacks stop in mid-flight, the weaponry quickly withering away. As for all of those native dragons, they were all hit by traces of light, while a giant phantom of a clock showed up on their bodies, rendering them unable move a single muscle.
"Wow! Impressive! My power is even beyond my own imagination!" Adolphus exclaimed in awe. This was the first time that the gemstone dragon Adolphus had truly discovered the immense power of his time freeze capabilities.
Upon hearing this, Verthandi said impatiently, "This is the power of a mythical creature. It is the ability that was first bestowed to my sister Eva by my dad. Now, you're a dragon that can even ignite the godly fire, so why are you being so smug just because you have defeated a couple of ordinary dragons?"
She then said, "Okay, now that you're qualified, it's time for you to summon your divine personality now. You'll need to stay here and wait until the day that you ascend to the position of god, then I'll meet you in the main god kingdom."
"Okay, Verthandi, my lord, " Adolphus replied.
At the moment, Adolphus was standing beside a cliff. Verthandi reached out her hands and saw the stars moving in the sky, while a giant silver star god kingdom showed up in the sky above the dragon island, having come through the dimensional wall.
The light kept flowing and soon gathered at the bottom. Then, a meteor that contained strong ripples and the power of rules fell from the sky in a straight line, and the enormous soul of dragon that was inside Adolphus' body of Adolphus surged. Directly after this, a giant clock appeared in the sky above the dragon island.
At that moment, all of the giant dragons who had rushed toward that place were all thrilled by that force of power. After all, a giant ancient clock had just shown up in the sky, and the glowing light that was coming from that clock connected the sky and the land!
Circles of ripples soon covered the sky, and the hands of the clock started spinning. It was as if the rules of time in this entire world were following the rhythm of that one singular clock.
The dragons could almost feel the hands of that ancient clock orchestrating the pulse of this entire world. When the dragons heard the spinning sound of that clock, they felt like they were hearing the sound of the heartbeat of this entire world.
This sound made them feel like they were trapped in the stringy time sector domain, and they couldn't move a single muscle. Even their minds were frozen!
Then, the divine personality of time fell from the sky and entered that clock. Adolphus let out a huge dragon roar, after which the flow of time became normal again. All of the native dragons were now looking at the shadow of Adolphus, and their eyes that were once filled with ferociousness and rebellion were suddenly filled with fear.
"From today onward, Adolphus, you are officially the dragon god of time, and in the name of the Creator, I'll make you the controller of time and the supreme god of the dragon race. You will be known as the God of Agreement and Justice from now on!" Verthandi declared.
Upon hearing this, Adolphus rubbed Verthandi against with its long neck, while Verthandi stroked its head gently. She then surged into the sky like a trace of golden light and returned to the kingdom of stars. Sadly, she had left the dragon island before telling Adolphus what it needed to do to become a god!
At the same time, Adolphus' new name, the God of Time Dragon, echoed throughout the entire world. Although this was not a real belief that many races would follow, as a true god who had mastered time, just like the god who handled agreement and justice, the belief still had many followers.
As such, humans, sahagins, orcs and fairies were among the many disciples who signed up to follow the new God of Time Dragon named Adolphus, and once a contract was signed in the name of agreement and justice, it could not be violated. Otherwise, the offender would be punished by the God of Time Dragon.
Other than contracts, there were several wills and some other important promises and vows that would be made in the godly palace of the God of Time Dragon. These would be witnessed by the God of Time Dragon himself, who would then keep and protect them.
Gradually, the God of Time Dragon Adolphus became a name that was considered to be a synonym of justice and equality, and it became a symbol for the holiness of agreements and vows. Those ferocious dragons that roamed the land were gradually subjected to its restrictions, and the dragon island became a holy land in Maria's World.
