Chapter 500: Domain of Order

“Let’s do it this way! I won’t take these divine artifacts from you. This Fear Divine Essence will suffice as my reward. As for this helmet, I’ll transform it into a divine artifact suitable for you, Charlie!”
Donald still had some thoughts regarding this Fear Divine Essence. Since Charlie couldn’t accept the divine essence of this chaotic and evil domain due to faction conflicts, he could take over.
“That can’t be!”
In the King of the North’s view, Donald was thinking of his best interests. After all, Donald wouldn’t abandon his original powers to join the dark faction just for this Fear Divine Essence—it would undoubtedly be a loss.
“Don’t worry! When have I ever done anything that would harm me?”
Donald was indeed right. Charlie had never seen him make a loss-making deal. No matter how unfavorable it seemed, he always ended up benefiting the most. Truly admirable!
So Charlie agreed and handed the divine artifact back to Donald.
After obtaining the helmet, Donald removed the black gem-like divine essence crystal and carefully stored it in his storage space. Then he added some divine material and began refining it on the spot.
The original material of this helmet was also made from an immortal object at least at the rank of a lower-tier divine artifact. It simply had a defensive domain added to it; the main effect came from the power of the Fear Divine Essence.
After refining it again, Donald didn’t follow the original design. Instead, he crafted it into a one-handed square shield in a V-shaped design. The shield surface extended outward from slightly raised ridges, forming a V shape when laid flat, and the same shape appeared from the front, except the top was rectangular while the bottom had a triangular tip, resembling countless V’s stacked together.
It was the same beautiful one-handed shield design Donald had seen in a game in his past life.
Donald combined its original divinity with the Laws of the Gods, endowing it with the power of guardianship laws. Since Charlie already possessed a guardianship domain, obtaining this divine shield might allow him to gain a guardianship title soon—perfect for the Heart of the Guardian of the North!
After seeing off the satisfied King of the North, Donald didn’t rush back to Dalaran. Instead, he took the time to count his gains from this trip.
Leaving aside those complicated divine materials, what Donald valued most were the totems he had obtained.

The domain of the Stone Bear God was located in mountainous areas rich in minerals and stone resources, allowing him to easily acquire the three divine domains of miners, mining, and smelting. If he combined these three domains into a further advanced forging divine domain, he would become the eleventh lower totem god on the Totem Continent. With enough time to accumulate power, he even had the potential to rise to a mid-tier totem god. Unfortunately, all of this came to an end with the fall of the Stone Bear God. Yet, his totem and divine essence fell into Donald’s hands, becoming even more useful. Through the transformation of the Codex of Gods, Donald absorbed the powers related to smelting, fire, earth elements, and metals from the Stone Bear God, instantly elevating the previously acquired alchemy and forging domains to the levels of alchemy and forging divine domains. These newly acquired divine domains served as branches under this supreme divine domain, bringing Donald one step closer to becoming a great Creator! As for the other domains such as mining, miners, and strength, Donald temporarily stored them in the Codex of Gods for himself, as he didn’t need them yet, but could bestow them on suitable candidates in the future. The totem of the Red Demon God contained domains related to strength, fury, and fear, which were largely unsuitable for Donald. The totem of the Eagle God included domains related to the sky and birds—neither suitable nor contradictory for Donald, but what use would a human true god have for bird worship? On the other hand, the domains of the Storm God’s totem included water elements, weather, and storms, all of which were related to natural divine domains. Thus, Donald combined them with the sky domains. Along with some domain imprints from legendary and golden totems that suited him, he initially absorbed and integrated them into his own divine essence. These newly added divine domains and fields drastically elevated Donald’s divine rank, bringing him to the peak of lower gods. It is believed that once he established a divine kingdom, he could easily ascend to the throne as a lower god without any difficulty. Among these totems, two unique divine domains appeared, which came as a pleasant surprise to Donald. One of them was the Night Fire God, one of the five demi-god totem gods under the God of Turbulent Winds. At first, Donald thought the name or title “Night Fire” referred to phosphorescent flames, ghost flames, or wildfires. However, after examining the Night Fire God’s totem, he realized his initial assumptions were wrong. The domains controlled by the Night Fire God were actually related to lighting, illumination, and light.

The invention of lighting tools such as torches, oil lamps, lanterns, and candles marked a milestone in humanity’s transition into civilized society. Their significance is no less than that of inventions like clothing, cooking utensils, and houses. It was these items that brought light to intelligent beings at night and provided the necessities for survival, enabling rapid progress in civilization.

Thus, the realms related to light and illumination are no less important than essential fields that greatly influence human survival, such as cooking and farming. Mastering such divine roles surely allows one to become a lower-tier god, and there is also great potential to ascend to mid-tier gods.

From a career perspective, light represents the “fire of civilization” and is an important part of the human progress. Although it falls under the category of divine roles within the human system, these roles, as they relate to necessities for human survival, are subject to far less religious constraint compared to non-essential fields like poetry and music. In Donald’s view, this is a highly promising divine role.

Although he already had better options, he could leave this promising and easy-to-master divine role to those around him.

In addition to the surprises brought by the Night Fire God totem, another legendary totem god also brought him a great delight. This legendary totem god was known as the Iron Pearl God. On the Totem Continent, iron pearls served as measuring tools, similar to weights and counterweights in Donald’s past life. Named after these, this legendary totem god’s domain encompassed weight and fairness—two areas that fall within the scope of the Balance Godhood.

What’s more, this legendary totem god also possessed a seal of the Order domain. Though it was just a seal, Donald could use the Book of Truth to create a true Order domain.

By acquiring three new domains—fairness, weight, and order—Donald was now able to develop the Balance Godhood, a powerful divine role that could elevate one to a higher-tier god. In other words, barring any major setbacks, his path from a newly ascended god to a mid-tier god would be smooth, with almost no significant obstacles.
