Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Zheng Qian and Mo Li chatted happily. Zheng Qian was relaxed for once. He drank all of Fan Tielan's daughter's red wine, then went to fetch a few more jars of wine and asked the palace chef to cook some dishes.

"The power of the Guangxiang Kingdom's war chariot is quite good. I tested its firepower, and apart from me, Zheng Qian, no one below the Liquid Aperture Realm can stop it."

Fan Tielan laughed loudly: "Haha, you're the best at bragging. The war chariots of Guangxiang Kingdom are not just good, they are clearly the strongest in the world."

Mo Li agreed with Fan Tielan's words: "Guangxiang Kingdom's chariots may not be the strongest in the world, but they are definitely the strongest among the fifty kingdoms. There is no doubt about that."

"Tch, that's because you haven't seen a more real war machine."

Zheng Qian recalled: "The tanks I saw were steel torrents. A single shell could flatten a mountain and shatter a city. They were all kinds of tanks, some flying in the sky and some swimming in the water. They were incredibly powerful. Some shells weighed over a hundred tons and could destroy Guangxiang City with a single shot, leaving it barren."

"That's bullshit. I, Fan Tielan, don't believe it."

"Hehe, I don't believe it either, unless you take me to see it for myself, otherwise you're just bragging."

Although the two women said Zheng Qian was bragging, their eyes were practically sparkling. They were willing to believe anything Zheng Qian said.

"What he said is true."

Suddenly, an aged voice rang out. The three looked up and saw what appeared to be a portal in the sky, with Dean Yun stepping through it.

"Dean Yun!" The three hurriedly stood up and bowed to Dean Yun as students.

Dean Yun has returned. He traveled an unknown distance to finally arrive before Zheng Qian set off for the Twin Absolute Domains.

"Zheng Qian, come with me." After saying this, Dean Yun flew into the sky.

Zheng Qian stared at Dean Yun, who had disappeared into the sky, feeling rather troubled.

"Dean, I can't fly."

A buzzing sound rippled through the space, and Zheng Qian's body went out of control, disappearing from the spot in a flash, leaving the two women dumbfounded.

Dean Yun is incredibly skilled at transmitting his teachings remotely.

Zheng Qian felt a blur before his eyes and found himself high in the sky, with the brightly lit Guangxiang City below him, which was only the size of a plate.

"Three hundred years ago, I met this senior by chance and received his guidance to search for disciples everywhere. I traveled all over the human land but could not find the person the senior desired."

Zheng Qian was stunned. Dean Yun had lived for three hundred years? He looked like a sixty-year-old man, but he had lived for three hundred years.

Meanwhile, Zheng Qian looked around but found no one else. He wondered who this senior that Dean Yun was talking about was.

The weathered Dean Yun suddenly became spirited: "Until I met you, I knew at a glance that you were the chosen one the senior had spoken of, so I went to invite the senior to guide you on the path to godhood."

The road to becoming a god?

Zheng Qian was even more confused. Dean Yun's words sounded grand and profound, but he had no idea what the path to godhood was.

Am I destined for greatness? What does it mean to be destined for greatness?

Dean Yun, dressed in blue robes, moved without wind, his eyes fixed intently on Zheng Qian. Dean Yun already knew Zheng Qian's achievements at the Heroes' Gathering: perfect scores in all three written exams and first place in the martial arts exam, fulfilling the task he had been given.

"Zheng Qian, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Should I take Dean Baiyun as my teacher?

Zheng Qian pondered. Ya Lan had found him a master named Long Batian, but now Dean Yun wanted to take him as a disciple, which was indeed putting him in a difficult position.

Dean Yun gazed at Zheng Qian with deep affection, expecting Zheng Qian to kneel down and become his disciple, saying words of gratitude and devotion. However, Zheng Qian, after some thought, refused.

"Teacher, thank you for your kind offer, but I already have someone I wish to become your student, so I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Uh… Dean Yun thought he had misheard and asked again, “You have a master to apprentice under? Who is it? Someone more powerful than me, Yun Youzi?”

Zheng Qian didn't hide anything and said, "Teacher, the reason I was able to meet you in Guangxiang Kingdom was because a senior pointed me in the right direction. She told me to go to Guangxiang Kingdom to participate in the Gathering of Heroes, win first place in the martial arts test, participate in the Double Absolute Domain Trial, and then go to Tianmai Sect to become a disciple of Senior Long Batian."

"Haha, I thought it was someone else, but it's that brat Long Batian again." Dean Yun laughed heartily, in a very good mood.

When Zheng Qian heard Dean Yun call Long Batian "kid," his expression remained natural, but his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the two knew each other, and that Dean Yun was Long Batian's elder?

Dean Yun became unfathomable, his entire being exuding Daoist charm, and slowly said, "Zheng Qian, if you become my disciple, even Long Batian will have to call you 'Uncle-Master' when he meets you. If you want to learn his techniques, I can also have him teach you."

After a pause, Dean Yun said proudly, "I am Long Batian's grandmaster. If he dares to disobey, I will beat him until his buttocks are bruised."

Dean Yun addressed me in front of the mysterious man, but when he mentioned Long Batian, he said "this old man" was actually his grandmaster. Zheng Qian's mind immediately became active.

Taking Dean Baiyun as my teacher seems like a good idea.

Zheng Qian is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. If he becomes Dean Yun's disciple, he will receive Dean Yun's protection. In return, he will fulfill his duties as a disciple and protect Dean Yun when he has the strength to do so.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Qian couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "Teacher, I have two questions that I haven't been able to answer. I hope you can help me."

"Speak." Dean Yun showed no impatience. Zheng Qian's clear thinking and calm analysis of whether or not to become his disciple actually pleased him more.

To become an apprentice of a powerful person without considering any other factors is a sign of immaturity, a mindset solely focused on gaining protection and benefits. If Zheng Qian were such a person, Dean Yun would have to reconsider whether to accept him as a disciple.

Zheng Qian asked, "Teacher, what level has your cultivation reached?"

"At the second level of Godhood." Dean Yun said it casually, without pride, only calmness.

The second level of the pseudo-god realm is very strong for others, but Dean Yun is very dissatisfied with this realm, and it is also a source of great anxiety for him.

Zheng Qian didn't know how strong a second-stage pseudo-god was, but once it was associated with the word "god," it must be extremely powerful. He was very satisfied with Dean Yun's level of attainment.

"The second question is that the Demon Radiance Sect has been harming fifty countries for many years, as you have seen in Guangxiang Kingdom. Why did you not step in to help the suffering people?"

Dean Yun became even more unfathomable, his eyes filled with a deeper sense of vicissitude. He seemed to be lost in painful memories, yet his voice remained remarkably calm.

"There is a very powerful force in the world that nothing in the universe can escape; this force is called cause and effect."

"If I were to take action, I could easily destroy the Demon Radiance Sect. Putting aside the potential consequences, the Southern Night Extreme Sect behind the Demon Radiance Sect would not let it go easily either. If their experts were to fight me, the fifty kingdoms would suffer even more devastation, and some might even be completely wiped out with no survivors. Also, because I am here, the Demon Radiance Sect dares not send any more reinforcements. The Crescent Moon Kingdom killed their inner disciples, and they can only silently endure it."

Zheng Qian understood. It wasn't that Dean Yun didn't want to help; rather, at his level, one had to follow the law of cause and effect.

The reason Dong Hao and his group were able to drive the Demon Radiance Sect out of the Crescent Moon Kingdom was not because of their superior strength, but because Dean Yun was stationed in the Fifty Kingdoms. He didn't personally eliminate the Demon Radiance Sect disciples, so even if they were killed, he wouldn't send reinforcements; this was the rule they adhered to.

All things in the universe are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Perhaps the power of cause and effect is the shackle that limits the strong from slaughtering the weak. Otherwise, wouldn't the strong be able to slaughter all living beings at will when they get angry?

Now that his doubts were resolved and he knew that Dean Yun was Long Batian's grandmaster, Zheng Qian had no more thoughts and knelt down.

"Disciple Zheng Qian greets Master!"

"Haha..." Dean Yun was very happy. His laughter was as loud as thunder, echoing not only between heaven and earth, but also penetrating every corner of Guangxiang City, making the hearts of all the residents tremble.

People stopped what they were doing, looking up at the boundless night sky with a mixture of fear and curiosity, their hearts filled with doubt and confusion, wondering what kind of deity could cause such an amazing phenomenon on this land and burst into laughter.

Dean Yun stood above the starry sky, his robes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth. He raised his hands, full of wisdom and strength, high as if to embrace the entire world. His voice, deep and majestic, drifted on the night breeze, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, I, Yun Youzi, hereby swear that I will formally accept Zheng Qian as my disciple, to inherit all my life's learning, and together we will reach the pinnacle of martial arts!"

Before the words were even finished, countless rays of light suddenly burst forth in the night sky. These were the lights of order from heaven and earth, summoned by Dean Yun's words, converging and enveloping Dean Yun and Zheng Qian. The light contained boundless laws and power, inspiring awe and befitting some ancient and sacred ritual.

The people of Guangxiang City, young and old, watched this scene with bated breath, their hearts filled with an unprecedented shock.

Zheng Qian became a disciple of Dean Yun, a feat witnessed by extraordinary celestial phenomena and countless people.
