(Li Yingqiong's past life was said to be the lover of the Long-Browed Taoist. This is the essence of why she can criticize whomever she wants and do whatever she wants in the entire Shu Mountain! Otherwise, do you really think that just any ordinary girl can use the Purple Ying Sword? It's all just a trick!)
"Is it really that dangerous?" Li Yingqiong asked seriously. To be honest, given her personality, she would rather rush in and wreak havoc than ascend directly to heaven.
“That’s right, not only you, but also Qingyun and the others. You should all leave. This is probably the final battle. Leave it to us old folks.” Changmei said calmly.
Anyway, even if he dies, he will come back to life, because Changmei has a powerful original body! Therefore, in essence, Changmei is truly not afraid of death.
"I am the Lord of the Sun, the Master of the Great Sun. All that is illuminated by the sun is under my jurisdiction. Wherever the sun reaches, that is where I reside."
"Now, in gratitude for the arduous cultivation of all beings, I hereby pass down the acquired divine path to refine the Emperor's Elixir, for the purpose of world upgrading and the transcendence of all beings!"
"Unlike the Immortal Path, the core of the Immortal Path is transcendence, breaking free from the shackles of the world, and pure destruction!"
"Therefore, the cultivation of immortals is subject to three calamities and nine tribulations, the five signs of decay in the heavens and man, and all sorts of calamities. Because every immortal is essentially a thief, a thief who specializes in stealing the creations of all living beings!"
"But the divine path is different. In the primordial chaos, there is a Dao, and gods are one with the Dao! True gods are protectors; they are the guardians of the world, blessed by Heaven, each possessing profound merit and enduring fortune. They have long lifespans, and on their path of cultivation, they experience no tribulations, or at least no natural disasters!"
"Today, I will pass down the cultivation method of the acquired divine path. The core of this method is the power of faith and incense! Utilize faith and incense to forge a divine kingdom..."
As Lin Yang narrated, countless Daoist auras emanated from him, spreading in all directions. At this moment, it truly felt like heavenly rain and golden lotuses blooming from the earth!
Each golden lotus, after being refined, is equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation! As for who will receive these lotuses, well, that can only be described as a matter of fate!
"Alas, the tide has turned, Heaven's favor has vanished, what can be done, what can be done!"

Chapter 76: Obtaining the World's Main Position and Three Percent of World Authority
With the instinctive blessing of the Heavenly Dao, Lin Yang became even more sacred, and every word he uttered could be heard throughout the entire world.
After all, unlike the purely destructive path of immortality, the path of divinity truly benefits the world itself! Its core is protection—protecting oneself, protecting one's own land and water, and protecting the entire world!
Therefore, as long as the Heavenly Dao doesn't become brain-dead and still possesses the instinct to become stronger, it will naturally do so.
Meanwhile, the fortunes of the immortal path in this world were also undergoing tremendous changes. Originally, Changmei wanted to use these remaining fortunes for a final gamble, but everything changed after the emergence of the divine path.
"Sigh, there's really no chance left, not even a last-ditch effort!" Long-browed man shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Lin Yang's strength was no less than his. In addition, with his identity as the Lord of the Sun, he could mobilize the power of the sun at any time. Lin Yang alone could break the Two Elements Dust Array outside.
Even using the most primitive methods, gradually wearing down the sun, Emei would be the first to give way. After all, how many things can rival the sun's energy?
"This is the acquired religion. Its core is to use the incense offerings of the people to first come up with their own doctrines, then find a pope, and then register with the imperial court. After registration, it becomes a legal sect."
"Next is the process of helping the people collect incense offerings. Once the amount of incense offerings reaches a certain level, a virtual divine kingdom can be established. Mountain gods can build their own kingdoms, land gods can build their own kingdoms, and river gods and water gods can all build their own kingdoms."
"The next step is to bring the deceased people, those devout believers, into the Kingdom of God so they can live there for at least several hundred years! At the same time, we can better collect offerings."
"At this point, with the divine kingdom, I can achieve the state where the divine kingdom is indestructible, and I am immortal, with a lifespan of at least a thousand years! Then comes the long process of transforming the illusory into the real!"
"Over the long years, I will accumulate incense offerings, and then slowly materialize and realize my divine kingdom, until it can truly manifest. At that time, I can ascend directly into the sky, transform into a star, and achieve immortality as long as the universe exists!"
Soon, with the help of Heaven, Lin Yang's words spread far and wide, leaving a very deep impression on everyone.
"That concludes the explanation of the Divine Path. Also, today I am refining something called Emperor's Elixir."
"This substance is a mixture of the essence of the sun and the radiance of the moon. After consuming it, both the spirit and the physical body will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, it will make the cultivation of the divine path much more convenient!"
(The "Emperor's Dew" here is just a name, a gimmick, and its function is different from the Emperor's Dew in traditional fantasy novels.)
As he spoke, Lin Yang waved his hand, and countless essences of the sun automatically gushed out from the Sun Star. Then, under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, many streams of moonlight, like flowing water, also appeared.
Next, Lin Yang added a lot of relatively pure incense sticks. After the three were mixed, white spherical liquids appeared.
Moreover, because Lin Yang deliberately mixed incense, after consuming it, one is inherently closer to the divine path and rejects the immortal path! This is called cutting off the fuel supply!
"From now on, on the night of the full moon every month, the Emperor's Dew will automatically appear and sprinkle the earth, and those who are destined will be able to obtain it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, millions of streams of imperial essence flew towards the earth. As for who would ultimately obtain them, that truly depended on fate.
...
Looking at the scene in the sky, Changmei casually caught a drop of Emperor's Essence, smelled it first, then closed his eyes and took one.
"Ah, this thing is truly miraculous. Although it is only an acquired item, it contains a trace of innate energy. In fact, its effects are no less than those of rare treasures from the Heavenly Palace. It's just a pity that there are too few of them."
"More importantly, after consuming this substance, one will be subtly influenced. First the divine path, then the imperial elixir, the immortal path has completely declined!" Long-browed man sighed.
"Why? The path of immortality is carefree and detached. What's wrong with being free and unrestrained? As long as you grasp this point, the path of immortality will never perish!" Li Yingqiong asked curiously.
"It's a matter of base numbers. The requirements for aptitude in the Immortal Path are simply too high! If your aptitude isn't good enough, unless all the resources in the world are available to you, you simply won't achieve anything."
"But what about the divine path? Judging from this, there must be at least tens of thousands of gods, such as mountain gods, water gods, and river gods. But what about the immortal path? My Emei Sect used to be the number one sect in the world, and even after several generations of disciples, we probably didn't have more than a hundred people!"
"Moreover, and more importantly, the path of immortality, from the very first step of cultivation, is defying the heavens and consuming spiritual energy. But the path of the gods, after establishing their divine kingdoms and blessed lands, is producing spiritual energy. With one going in and the other going out, the difference between the two is even greater!"
“However, these are not my biggest concerns. What I’m most worried about is whether that guy will take advantage of this opportunity to become the ruler of the world. Forget it, let’s prepare to leave and ascend together. Otherwise, we might really not be able to leave!” Long-browed said with a grim expression.
At the same time, Lin Yang also learned a very important thing from the information transmitted by the Heavenly Dao: he had become the Lord of the World.
Moreover, thanks to the combined power of the Lord of the Divine Path and the Lord of the Sun, Lin Yang now possesses three percent of the authority over the entire world!
The position of Lord of the World inherently carries one percent of the authority over the entire world.
In addition, because the Sun Star currently occupies too large a proportion of the world, it also comes with one percent of the authority.
Finally, the position of the Lord of the Divine Path also brings one percent of the position.
With all three combined, Lin Yang could mobilize up to three percent of the world's power at any time! Although three percent may not seem like much, what about compared to the entire world?
