My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 178, the new version is here!

The red star rises and illuminates the world.

Under the radiant light of the God of Wealth's ascension, the entire world seemed to be filled with a strong sense of joy, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.

Whether they are ordinary cultivators or descendants of divine blood, all living beings in the human realm of the Five Continents are like frogs at the bottom of a well. Their greatest wish in this life is to become one of the stars in the sky.

It's a pity.

Becoming a star is so difficult!

Even after hundreds or thousands of years, only a few outstanding individuals have been able to successfully ascend to the heavens and become minor, weak, or miscellaneous gods. But now, the god who has ascended to the sky is the God of Wealth!
They not only control a portion of the Heavenly Court's finances, but also have an extremely solid base of faith among the mortals.

Why do people have always been so fond of the God of Wealth?

As the new God of Wealth returned to his position, many people who believed in the God of Wealth came out of their homes, gazing adoringly at the bright star, and began to pray devoutly.

In a short time, the crimson star successfully inherited the faith foundation of the previous generation of the God of Wealth, condensed a large amount of wish power crystals, and solidified its position as the God of Wealth.

But the benefits He received were not limited to that.

After all, the gods had departed, and the world was plunged into darkness. So when this star of wealth suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became the only light in the world, it naturally became the hope of mortals and attracted the faith of countless people.

Gradually,
The red star grew to be as large as the sun and moon, majestically perched in the mid-sky, shaking the entire world.

“This isn’t fair!!”

Throughout the five continents and four seas of the human realm, all cultivators who had the opportunity to ascend were collectively envious, almost to the point of madness.

Since ancient times,

Who doesn't have to go through three calamities and five tribulations and endure countless hardships to ascend to immortality?
Now, someone is actually using the Heavenly Emperor's Seal to cheat, directly forcibly passing through the tribulation and ascending to immortality?
Have you no shame?!

This is like everyone running a race, seeing who crosses the finish line first and wins the prize of becoming an immortal. But then the Heavenly Emperor, the chief referee, personally intervenes and puts the prize directly into someone else's bag, preordaining that person as the champion.

As a result, the ignorant masses actually thought that the championship belonged to him, and they gave him traffic and endorsements, turning an unknown guy into a big star. Who can tolerate that?
Are there still heavenly rules in the Three Realms?

Is nobody going to do anything about this?!
There's really no one who can control it, because those who could are no longer around.

Soon, the people's jealousy of the God of Wealth turned into resentment towards the Jade Emperor.

Especially the descendants of those divine blood families, at this moment they were cursing their mothers.

"The current Heavenly Emperor is a fucking tyrant!"

Since ancient times, only names and tools should not be lent to others!

As a result, Shanghao bestowed the seal, which symbolized the authority of the Heavenly Emperor, upon someone else. Wasn't he afraid of causing the collapse of order?
As beneficiaries of the current order, the Gods' Families fear its collapse far more than ordinary people.

After all, while the Heavenly Tribulation test stopped them, it also stopped a large number of non-divine bloodline cultivators. Under the same conditions, divine bloodline families have more resources, so they always have an absolute advantage on the path to ascension!

But if the Heavenly Emperor does this, won't anyone be able to ascend to heaven by "external force" in the future?
Is there no sense of hierarchy or distinction between superiors and inferiors in this world?!

A lucky star ascended to heaven, causing turmoil throughout the five continents.

Some were jealous, some were angry, and some felt a sense of sorrow.

For example, Huang Xiang,

Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor's seal, he seemed to have all his strength drained away, slumping into a chair and saying dejectedly, "I never expected this. I knew absolutely nothing about it!"

As the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, he was undoubtedly one of the closest people to His Majesty Shanghao; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to Xinhai to oversee so many major cases.

But only now did he realize that the Supreme Emperor had initially used him as bait to attract attention!

From His Majesty Shanghao personally ordering the formation of an investigation team for the collapse of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, to His personal command of the expedition, everything he did was to attract attention so that this God of Wealth could ascend to heaven without any obstacles!

This was a huge blow to Huang Xiang.

After all, he had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and with his accumulated experience, he could enter the Divine Transformation realm at any time. Therefore, if he were to receive the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, he could also ascend to become the God of Wealth and become one of the gods.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Emperor chose someone else.

Huang Xiang, who had thought he had a bright future, suddenly felt like a discarded pawn and lost all his energy.

Li Wei, who was standing nearby, couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it, so he quickly comforted him, "Brother Huang! Don't be sad, His Majesty may have other plans."

"Heh. Maybe so, but unfortunately we are not part of His plan."

Huang Xiang's Dao heart was almost shattered, and he couldn't help but mock himself, "In the end, we are just some insignificant people. It is already a stroke of luck that His Majesty has given us a temporary advantage. How dare we ask for more?"

"Hey"

"Li Wei, remember this! Those in power only promote others because of momentary whims. If they find someone better to use, they naturally won't consider the feelings of their pawns. In the end, only one's own cultivation and wealth are truly real!"

Li Wei knew this from the very first day he was born. No one in this world can be trusted!

You can only rely on yourself!
Therefore, when he appeared at Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, he betrayed Huang Xiang without hesitation. In the future, he will not be loyal to Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group. Given a good opportunity, he can betray Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group just the same way!
It's not that he's too heartless; it's just that this celestial orb is too cold. Even the Heavenly Emperor can't be relied on, so who else can be relied on?
"Brother Huang! I don't understand, why does His Majesty favor this God of Wealth so much?"

Huang Xiang coldly gazed at the star in the sky and replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "Do you know how many elements are involved in becoming an immortal?"

"Six!"

"That's right, six elements!"

Huang Xiang sat up from his chair and solemnly said, "First, one must reach the Nascent Soul realm and embark on a transformative path beyond the mundane. Second, one must master the prototype of a celestial technique and develop it to the level of a celestial art. Third, one must upgrade one's Dao body to a celestial body."

"Fourth, one must have accumulated merit and virtue, possess a certain level of faith, and obtain the crystallization of vows. Fifth, one must obtain or establish a divine position, which is what mortals often refer to as being among the immortals."

"The sixth requirement is to fully master a law!"

"This is the most difficult condition to become an immortal!"

"After all, the laws of heaven and earth are limited and have long been occupied by the gods. So unless a god falls, ordinary people have almost no chance of obtaining the laws."

"But once someone inherits the laws of Heaven, even if those laws have been used before, the inheritor can still use the laws to rewrite the world during the ascension process, create their own miracles, and exert a special influence on this world."

This was the first time Li Wei had heard about the secrets of becoming an immortal, so he asked in surprise, "So Your Majesty's ultimate goal is to rewrite the world using the laws of the Immortal Lord Zhaoli?"

No wonder the Supreme Emperor killed Immortal Lord Zhaoli immediately after discovering the corruption case in the Dragon Transformation Realm!
It seems that the feelings were already tied to His laws from the very beginning!
This Heavenly Emperor is probably far more insidious and ruthless than we imagine!

At this moment, Huang Xiang also thought of this point, so he looked at the sky with an extremely awe-inspiring gaze and said: "Immortal Lord Zhaoli has been managing the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. The laws he has mastered must be inseparable from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and the cultivation transfer payment system of the Dark Web originated from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm prize pool."

"So I guess this is His Majesty's backup plan against the dark web!"

The words have not yet fallen.

The crimson star of wealth in the sky suddenly began to spin, and then it spat out countless crimson threads of law, which spread continuously towards heaven and earth!

This is the final step in the transformation into a deity and ascension to immortality: merging one's own Great Dao into the world, embarking on the path of refining the spirit to return to the void, refining the void to merge with the Dao, and then completely transcending the mortal realm to achieve the position of a god.

Surprisingly, the newly appointed God of Wealth once again produced the Heavenly Emperor's Seal and suddenly issued an order to the four directions of heaven and earth:
"By order of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, I request the Heavenly Dao version 7.18 update!!"

What? ! !
Version update?
Everyone in the five continents and three realms who heard this was completely stunned.

Doesn't the Heavenly Dao version update require a decision from the gods and then be implemented by the Heavenly Court as a whole? How could a newly ascended newcomer be put in charge at this time?
And where did he get the version update content?
unless
That damned Jade Emperor! What is this tyrant planning to do by leading the gods away this time?!
To everyone's astonishment, countless threads of law suddenly materialized on the dark sky, intertwining with the red threads of law on the God of Wealth's body, and then piercing through the entire Three Realms.

Looking around, all living beings and all things in the world were cut into countless pieces by countless threads at this moment.

From the heavens and the earth to cells and DNA,

Everything, the greatest and the smallest, was restored to its most primal form by the laws, just as countless codes were restored to 0s and 1s, revealing the origin of the immortal path.

Then, from within the Heavenly Emperor's Jade Seal, countless pre-written version updates suddenly surged forth. These updates, along with the laws that already existed in the world, the laws that Zhao Lixianjun was rewriting by using the power of ascension and merging with the Dao to integrate into the human world, and all living beings in the world, rapidly merged together.

Then, before anyone could react, a major update to the Heavenly Dao version was completed.

【Ding! ! 】

[The 7.19 update for the game "Heavenly Path" has begun!]

[Update 1: The position of True Lord Zhaoli has been changed to the position of Immortal Lord Zhaoli Internet!]

[Update Content 2: The Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance has integrated the Dark Web cultivation transaction payment system module, expanding its interconnected exchange business and incorporating cultivation into the cultivator currency system.]

【更新内容3：天条中有关经济方面的律法进行变更，抹去原本第17项第16条、19项第21条、27项第1条，新增修为交易法27项167条！】

[Update 4: Cultivation efficiency reduced from 1.1 to 1.0. Cultivation will no longer increase a cultivator's maximum spiritual energy; it will only ensure that their spiritual energy recovers to its peak level!]

In other words, you won't be able to improve your cultivation through meditation anymore!
[Update 5: Adjusted the bounty list for all demons. The Great Sage Stealing Heaven, originally ranked seventh, has been moved to the top spot. Anyone who kills a member of the Dark Web Church will receive triple merit. If someone kills a member of the Dark Web, they will be granted the position of one of the Five Elders of the Four Directions, enjoying eternal worship!]

[Update Content 6: The Three Realms Demon Hunting Tournament is launched! The Heavenly Court declares full-scale war on the nine Great Sages, including the Great Sage Stealing Heaven, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and the Great Sage Pacifying Heaven, as well as all evil demons and heretics in the world!]

[Update 7: The Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance's cultivation transfer payment system is now online. Anyone who kills evil spirits or heretics will automatically receive cultivation rewards.]

The series of updates left everyone speechless.

In short, it can be summed up in two words!
war!

war!!
war!!!

From now on, no one can continue their cultivation through meditation. Either you spend money to boost your cultivation level, or you'll have to kill evil spirits and heretics like game characters, exchanging heads for experience. No one can escape unscathed!

The most intense training environment in the seven versions since the existence of the Heavenly Court has suddenly descended as the stars disappeared!
The crimson star of the Ministry of Finance, which had originally looked joyous, now inexplicably gave off a ferocious and tyrannical feeling of looking down upon the heavens and earth. It silently said:
"The new version is here, my fellow warriors, are you ready?"
