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

Chapter 230 Disqualified from Immortal Status

The title of Heavenly Dao is a special product of the condensation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so its existence is extremely complex and it is unchangeable in most cases.

For example, Li Wei's title of "Fake Immortal" has remained unchanged from the third level of Qi Refining to the Golden Core stage.

But the Godslayer entry is different!

This Heavenly Dao title itself has growth potential, and can be continuously upgraded by killing gods. This time, Li Wei tricked two gods in one go, practically feeding the Godslayer title to its heart's content.

Therefore, the title of Godslayer was greatly elevated.

Its effect 1: Godslayer, in addition to the original increase in critical hit rate, it adds a special attribute that causes true gods to deal more damage.

Its effect 2: If favored by Heaven, the increase in cultivation speed will be replaced by the ability to randomly draw a law from the god you have killed.

In other words, Li Wei was able to obtain a law from each of them by "killing" General Jiutian Leigong and Yu Hualong!
The effect of the "Heavenly Favor" attribute has now been completely transformed!

After all, since the Heavenly Court banned independent cultivation after the 7.19 version update of Heavenly Dao, it's really not worth it to increase cultivation speed. It's better to exchange it for some other useful attributes.

But even though it's changed,

You've actually switched to a random selection method?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
You should know that General Nine Heavens Thunder God and True Lord Bixia are not completely dead yet, and their divine positions have not even been destroyed. Why would the Heavenly Dao title give Li Wei such a great reward?
Is there something I don't know about behind this?!
Just as Li Wei was wondering, two enormous roars suddenly came from the Heavenly Court high above the nine heavens!

He suddenly raised his head.
Then they saw that the sky, which had been obscured by the Great Sages, now had countless star patterns.

The stars are symbols of divine positions, demonstrating the authority and laws of the gods, and their every action can have a huge impact on the world.

When the gods form the Heavenly Court, it means that their divine positions, laws, and authority will be intertwined. If there is no stable order to place the divine positions, wouldn't everything fall into chaos?
then,

Thus, the "divine genealogy" of the Heavenly Court was established.

The ancient gods had already cleared the heavens during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, leaving the central position empty.

Then they established the Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi Three Enclosures here, and according to different types of laws, they moved and distributed different divine positions, and finally built the seven mansions of the Azure Dragon in the East, the seven mansions of the Black Tortoise in the North, the seven mansions of the White Tiger in the West, and the seven mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the South, forming a preliminary order!
The framework of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Court was thus established.

This is the earliest celestial pantheon!
Later, as times changed, countless gods ascended to heaven, bringing with them new stars.

Thus, stars such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Venus, Mars, and the God of Literature and Martial Prowess, among others, were incorporated into the Twenty-Eight Mansions, enriching the celestial pantheon. Later, with the establishment of deities for transportation, religion, culture, and tourism in modern times, newer stars were introduced to carry on the legacy.

The final result

This vast and magnificent "Heavenly Court"!

Throughout the Three Realms and Five Continents, as long as all living beings look up in the darkness, they can see these dazzling stars.

Every deity in the Heavenly Court has their own place in this pantheon. They are like screws, perfectly embedded in the Heavenly Dao. Through cooperation, influence, and support, they have built the current version of the Heavenly Dao and stabilized everything in the human world.

Then the problem is coming.

What would happen if two stars suddenly disappeared in a galaxy that influences each other?

Li Wei looked up at the sky and clearly saw that two crucial bright spots had suddenly disappeared from the celestial star map.

If it could be seen this clearly even from the ground,

If you place that in the heavens above, it would be two enormous voids!

The galactic "order" of the Heavenly Court has gone wrong.

The stars influence each other, especially Yu Hualong, the Minister of Smallpox, whose position has far-reaching consequences, greatly affecting other gods and even the entire Heavenly Court.

Take Yu Hualong as an example.

This Bixia Yuanjun is not only the chief deity of the Smallpox Department, but also its founder!
It was precisely because of His active role in the Investiture of the Gods that the Smallpox Department became one of the Eight Departments of Heaven.

It is precisely because of His countless years of work that the Smallpox Department has been able to develop new divine positions, increase more laws governing smallpox, and pass more heavenly decrees to protect smallpox!
Therefore, after countless years of accumulation,
Yu Hualong's divine position has long been a key "component" in the operation of the laws of the Smallpox Department, and can even be said to be the engine and steering wheel of the Smallpox Department's heavenly machine.

As an important department of the Heavenly Court, the Smallpox Department is not just an office, but a vast collection of laws. It can even be regarded as a machine that demonstrates the Smallpox Department's power to "control the diseases of the human world and determine the length of life and death"!

And now,
The machine's engine and steering wheel are gone!

As a result, the machine of the smallpox department suddenly stopped working, causing the laws governing smallpox, which the gods had spent countless years restraining, to go out of control, and countless cases of smallpox immediately began to ravage the human world.
Upon witnessing this scene, the gods felt even greater unease.
Although Yu Hualong's divine position has been separated from the Heavenly Court, he is still the master of the laws of smallpox. If Mara were to control him to launch a counterattack against the Heavenly Court and invade the already collapsed smallpox lesions, wouldn't it be as easy as turning one's hand?

Therefore, whether it's to protect the stability of Heaven, to stop the smallpox and cholera epidemic, or to prevent a second attack by Mara, all the other stars must change the position of their divine seats and fill the vacant areas by adjusting their orbits!

And in this process,
Even the ambitions of some gods could not be suppressed!
For them, stability is secondary; the real benefit comes from occupying a divine position!

With a position, they can expand their influence, or if all else fails, they can directly create a new divine position to exchange for treasures. Why not?

Among them, the gods of the Plague Department were the most active. They already had a high degree of overlap with the gods of the Smallpox Department, so at this moment they were even more eager to annex them.

A true god of the Plague Department declared righteously, "Yu Hualong has already been converted by the Heavenly Demon! The entire Plague Department is no longer safe. Why don't we take over the divine positions of the Plague Department first?"

Some emerging departments, such as the Transport Department, also coveted these two areas and thus voiced their opinions, attempting to seize control.

Poof!
Taibai Jinxing, who was already seriously injured after being ambushed by the Monkey King and crashed into the Heavenly Court, was so enraged by the sight that he spat out another mouthful of blood: "You bastards, shut up!"

Before the enemy has even been driven out, these guys are already fighting over the spoils?

These damned gods are getting more and more outrageous!
Venus wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and made a sudden decision: "Next, the Plague Department will forcibly take over the Smallpox Department, and all the Thunder Gods, get to work and erase all traces left by Yu Hualong and General Lei Gong!!"

Upon hearing this, the Yu family gods, who were in the Department of Transportation applying for a passage to the mortal realm, immediately flew over and pleaded, "Lord of War, our ancestor has rendered great service to the Heavenly Court, how can you..."

"Do you want to disobey orders?!"

Venus roared, interrupting them.

"Now that your ancestor has been converted, your Yu family bloodline has fallen under the influence of Mara, and you are at risk of being invaded by inner demons along your bloodline at any time! I have already shown mercy by not killing you! If you dare to utter another word, you will all die!"

The gods of the Yu family clenched their fists, but dared not retaliate.

Although Venus is seriously injured, this is the Heavenly Court. The Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and the Five Elders of the Five Directions have not yet made a move. So if they dare to make any unusual moves, they will definitely die.

Thus, the gods of the Yu family could only watch helplessly as the gods from the Plague Department moved the stars over, frantically encroaching on their living space.

Soon, the Plague Department, one of the eight departments of Heaven and which had always been high and mighty, lost most of its living space and power. It was suppressed by the Plague Department gods and suffered various restrictions and attacks!

"Damn it!"

"If it weren't for Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, why would our ancestor have descended to the mortal realm?"

"This is truly a case of losing both wife and army!"

The Yu family is in a terrible state, and the smallpox lesions are in a terrible state.

But Yu Hualong suffered the most.

After confirming that He had been converted by Mara, the Heavenly Court immediately expelled Him from the Heavenly Court's divine register, terminated all His political rights in the Heavenly Court, and destroyed all His political legacy in the Heavenly Court!
Millennia of achievements and accumulations vanished in a single day.

This can be described as "utterly socially dead!"

In this way, even if Yu Hualong breaks free from Mara's salvation one day, he will never be able to regain his former status, let alone return to his former position!
The same goes for the Thunder God General of the Nine Heavens!
After his divine position was removed, the other generals of the Thunder Department rushed up and seized his place!
Li Wei finally understood why the "Godslayer" entry had determined that Yu Hualong and General Jiutian Leigong were "dead"!
Although they still retain their divine power, they have forever lost their former glory. Even if they break free from Mara's control in the future, they will only be minor gods, not worth mentioning at all.

And most importantly,

As their influence in Heaven was eliminated, the burdens they imposed on the human world also dissolved.

From now on, they will be removed from the temple, and all living beings will no longer need to make offerings to them. This will save all living beings so much money and trouble.
But the easiest way is still the way of Heaven!
Yu Hualong, the head of the Smallpox Department, has relied on the authority of the Heavenly Court over the years to issue countless Heavenly Laws related to smallpox, manipulating the laws of smallpox in various ways and creating endless trouble for the Heavenly Dao.

That's just how things are sometimes. When you're unsupervised, you feel no pressure. But once some old geezer sits in the office, they'll find ways to give you a headache every single day.

Managing attendance, calculating KPIs, organizing publicity, personnel, events, and complaint rates. We also need to find legitimate ways to generate revenue for the acne department, and compete for power with other departments.
They had to put forward all sorts of proposals.
Does this increase the workload of the Heavenly Dao?
You gods can sit in your offices, manipulate the laws, and drink tea, but it is I, the God of Heaven, who executes them!
In these various versions, how much trouble have you, Old Yu, caused for this Heavenly Dao, and how many pointless and stupid things have you done?

So you'd better get lost!

With Yu Hualong gone, the Smallpox Department's machine stopped running, and the Heavenly Dao no longer needed to execute the Smallpox Department's complicated orders in the short term, which was a great relief.

"So, we have to thank Li Wei for this!"

I don't know if this chapter will seem verbose, but it is the necessary introduction to lead to a very important foreshadowing.

Hmm,
Please, please don't guess. Even if you guess correctly, please don't say it out loud. Let's save the author some face.
