My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

"This number is still increasing. Although it is not yet comparable to the area ruled by the Spirit Temple, the gap between the two is rapidly narrowing."

"After all, although the Spirit God still has the advantage in high-level combat power, our New Immortal Alliance has very few forces capable of directly confronting the Spirit God one-on-one."

"But now only a few spirit gods remain in the world. Even if they complete their transformation and become far more active than before, it is not enough to maintain such a vast territory of rule."

On the main ship, Cang Xuanming continued to explain the current situation to Zhong Qing.

"The starry sky is vast and boundless, with countless celestial realms. Every day, new regions break free from the control of the spirit gods."

"Even if they do not belong to our New Immortal Alliance, the Styx Gate, or any other force, they will no longer worship the spirit god."

"Compared to 30,000 years ago, the area ruled by the Spirit Temple has shrunk by more than ten times."

"This is also the greatest significance of your battle against the gods back then, Master."

At this point, Cang Xuanming's tone became involuntarily reverent.

The great battle that took place 30,000 years ago is now known as the War to Chase the Gods.

Qingxian Venerable fought against countless gods in the starry sky with his own power, slaying many spirit gods with unparalleled divine might. In the end, with a world-shaking blow, he shattered the present bodies of all the participating spirit gods and banished them to the future.

This battle not only ended the rule of the spirit gods, but its greatest significance lies in the complete shattering of the deep-rooted faith of countless beings in the starry sky in the spirit gods that had existed for hundreds of millions of years.

This is understandable. After witnessing firsthand the shattering of the supreme deity in one's heart, it would be difficult for anyone to maintain their faith.

On that day, countless deeply brainwashed fanatics collapsed, and countless people committed suicide as martyrs.

If fanatical believers who refused to accept reality went to martyrdom, then those who survived would naturally begin to reflect.

We should ponder whether so-called gods are truly so noble and worthy of our faith.

If it is because of their power, then wouldn't the white-clad figure who single-handedly shattered the gods be even more worthy of faith?

Don't say it, really don't say it.

There are indeed quite a few people who hold this view.

As a result, a new religion rapidly emerged in the starry sky during those 30,000 years.

It was called the Qingshen Sect.

As the name suggests, this sect worships Zhong Qing as a god.

They even gave rise to the name of Qingshen.

Of course, after the battle against the gods, there were already countless people in the starry sky who worshipped the Azure Immortal Venerable, so they shouldn't be missing out.

However, the unique feature of the Qing Shen Sect is that it does not acknowledge Zhong Qing as a human being, but rather regards him as a deity.

They believed that beings like Zhong Qing were completely beyond human comprehension; they were not spirits or gods, but certainly not ordinary beings.

The reason is that, throughout history, there have been countless cultivators, but when has there ever been someone like Zhong Qing?

Such power is beyond what can be explained by the Dao of Immortality.

Zhong Qing is not a cultivator at all; he is a true god!

Before the true God, those false gods of the past would naturally only be crushed.

What? You don't acknowledge Zhong Qing as a god? Then why don't you cultivators find someone else like Zhong Qing?

Many cultivators were very unhappy about this, but for the time being they couldn't find a way to refute it.

Let alone others, even those powerful immortals themselves found Qingxianzun's strength unbelievable.

Even during the golden age of immortality before the great calamity, those legendary peak immortals were far from possessing the terrifying power of Zhong Qing.

Therefore, the Qing Shen Sect also developed rapidly.

The number of people is now in the hundreds of millions.

Even within the territories ruled by the New Immortal Alliance and the Styx Gate, there are quite a few believers.

Although neither side endorses it, there's nothing that can be done; you can't force them to stop believing.
