From Godhood to the Heavens

Inside a shrine, a middle-aged figure sat cross-legged below, with a bronze statue enshrined above. Incense smoke continuously filled the air, and the entire shrine was shrouded in smoke.

Fang Ping watched the other's cultivation with great interest, his eyes gleaming with a faint golden light. Within his upper dantian, his sea of ​​consciousness flickered with light, and in a divine kingdom spanning dozens of miles, the past history of the divine statue above flowed like an animation.

At the beginning of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Qin family ancestors followed Emperor Jiu Yan. Initially, they were suicide soldiers in the Daredevil Battalion. They fought hundreds of battles and made great contributions. In the end, they were granted a title and territory, and their descendants inherited their incense offerings.

Having been worshipped by the Qin family descendants for thousands of years, he finally ascended to godhood and is now a sixth-realm god-demon, with a renowned reputation that extends for thousands of miles.

The person invited to the Divine Court by the current head of the Qin family was none other than Qin Wudi, the founder of the Qin family and a sixth-order True God.

Fang Ping's eyes shone with golden light as he looked towards the divine court. The figure there seemed to be the main deity worshipped in the side hall.

Fang Ping smiled slightly. No wonder the most magnificent main hall had few worshippers, while the side halls were bustling with worshippers.

It seems that the Marquis of Wu'an is a person from above.

If a dynasty is established based on a divine court, then theoretically the monarch should receive the most offerings, and at the very least, the emperor should be worshipped in every main hall.

However, it seems that everyone has selfish desires, and even gods are not immune to them.

The dispute over incense offerings may not be as peaceful as it appears now.

As Fang Ping's heart stirred slightly, the people from the Divine Court suddenly moved slightly, and the next instant, the Qin family patriarch suddenly opened his eyes and shouted out.

"Who dares to spy on the Divine Court!"

Fang Ping raised his hand and waved it, instantly sealing off the entire space. With a slight thought, he froze the Qin family patriarch in place.

Then, as he slowly revealed his form, Qin Shouren's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He was unable to move his body and wanted to call out to the ancestor, but he had not yet emerged from the Divine Court.

A divine light enveloped them, freezing the lifelike divine court in an instant.

Fang Ping couldn't help but marvel. The strength didn't seem that great, but the soul seemed quite powerful, and the senses were incredibly sharp.

He was discovered immediately after merely peeking into the other party's divine court.

Fang Ping circled Qin Shouren twice, scrutinizing him from head to toe until he felt uneasy and on the verge of tears before finally stopping.

Qin Shouren actually regretted it a little. Had he lost his mind? Why did he have to shout it out?

Someone was able to directly peer into his divine court, clearly overwhelming him in every way, yet he still dared to make a sound.

Isn't this forcing the other side to take action?

His tense expression completely relaxed, and he almost burst into tears. The ancestor had returned to the Divine Court and completely gave up resisting.

"I was being reckless and did not know that Your Majesty had descended. What are your orders? Please speak frankly!"

Fang Ping immediately understood. He realized the other person was intelligent. A smile played on his lips. In a flash, he released the seal, looked at the other person, and secretly exhaled before speaking, "Are you the strongest in this city?"

Qin Shouren forced a smile and quickly said, "I dare not, it's all thanks to the blessings of our ancestor!"

"I dare not act arrogantly before the revered deity!"

Fang Ping nodded, realizing he hadn't guessed wrong, and then said, "What cultivation level? What realm? Tell me everything you know about cultivation levels and realms!"

Qin Shouren's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Fang Ping cautiously, quickly suppressed his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "I am merely a sixth-realm True God. Above me are seventh-realm God Venerables, eighth-realm God Lords, and ninth-realm Emperors."

As for the even stronger ones, it is said that outside the Great Yan Dynasty, in more prosperous places, there are still even stronger ones, but I am ignorant and shallow in my knowledge, and thus unaware of this!

Fang Ping raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "How many emperors did the Great Yan Dynasty have?"

"His Majesty is currently at the Emperor level, but as for the others, I know nothing about them!"

Fang Ping remained calm, never expecting that his imperial status was so high, on par with the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

If I'm not mistaken, there were four who attacked that day, and they should all be eighth-realm divine lords!

The person in front of me said he was a sixth-realm true god, which should correspond to the true immortal realm, but he looked a little weak!

This world follows the path of gods, with heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts. Among the five immortals, gods rank fourth, only stronger than ghost immortals.

It's understandable that it's weak, but this world is not weak at all; it seems to be quite strong!

His own Xuanxian realm physical body could barely be ranked in the third tier in this Great Yan Kingdom, and his True Immortal realm cultivation was only at the same level as the person in front of him.

Of course, realm is one thing, and combat power is another!

Sensing the situation, he realized that even if he had just become an immortal, he could have killed the city lord in front of him with a single slap.

However, a sixth-realm True Immortal was merely a city lord, barely qualifying as a powerful figure over a thousand miles.

Hey ~

Looks like he's not doing too well!

After pondering silently, Fang Ping slowly said, "Hand over your cultivation method!"

Without hesitation, a beam of light flew out from Qin Shouren's divine court and presented it with both hands, showing extreme respect.

Although he couldn't understand why such a powerful figure, at least at the God-Emperor level, would take a liking to his cultivation method, Qin Shouren, as the head of the Qin family, had lived for hundreds of years and was very clear about what he should and shouldn't ask.

Fang Ping reached out and took the book, flipping through it casually. The book wasn't thick, and he soon reached the last page.

Soon, they gained some understanding of the cultivation methods in this world, and could even say that they had a very clear understanding of them.

All the paths they cultivate are within the divine court, starting with the initial worship of the gods, then opening the divine palace, inviting the gods, establishing the divine court, and finally becoming gods through incense offerings.

It is simple and clear that almost all of one's cultivation methods are entrusted to the gods. Humans and gods are one, complementing each other, with the gods as the master and humans as the assistant.

Or rather, the gods have almost absolute dominance, and the level a cultivator can reach depends almost entirely on the god's own level.

Of course, it's not impossible to advance. In fact, the path to advancement is incredibly simple. One way is to accumulate incense offerings, receive worship for thousands of years, and continuously advance and be granted titles.

Another method is plunder and devouring, killing other gods and demons to plunder their origins and then devouring them to enhance oneself.

The cultivation of the unity of gods and demons is simple and straightforward. Those who are officially appointed by the Great Yan Dynasty are considered righteous gods, while all others are considered evil gods.

Of course, in reality, there is no difference between the two: the righteous gods of the previous dynasty and the evil heretics of today.

Yesterday, it devoured the blood and flesh of an entire city; today, it enters the royal court and is often bestowed the title of a true god.

Aside from these two types, which are considered orthodox cultivation methods, there are also wild demons and evil gods who devour blood and food to aid their cultivation. However, they are eager to enter the demonic path and become insane, irrational evil gods who only know how to kill.
