"Make arrangements immediately to build a railway that runs throughout the entire Jiangdong region. At the very least, we need to build a railway from Wu Kingdom to Wu County! If I'm not mistaken, disaster is about to strike."
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps Lin Yang was a jinx, but no sooner had he finished speaking than something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, seven stars appeared in the sky. As soon as these stars appeared, they shone with unparalleled light.
Among them, five stars appeared to be just slightly brighter ones. From a distance, they didn't look much different from the stars seen on a normal night.
At most, it was a little brighter, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was only the size of a sesame seed.
As for the remaining two stars, describing them as stars is actually a bit inaccurate. In terms of size and dimensions, they look almost the same size as the sun in the sky!
One of them was black, and as soon as it appeared, it emitted a great deal of black light. This black light was filled with immense magical power, and in just a moment, the spiritual energy of the entire Han Dynasty increased by half a percent!
You must understand, this is the entire Han Dynasty! It's not just a blessed land or a grotto-heaven, but the spiritual energy of the entire Han Dynasty, which has collectively increased by half a percent.
However, the changes did not stop there. Soon after, the remaining star also shone with its own unique light.
A stream of pure, ethereal energy emerged, and within this visible energy lay profound Daoist principles. Many of the young Daoist disciples of the burly men achieved breakthroughs immediately!
"Those who come here are not friendly; those who come with good intentions do not come! These seven stars are the seven great worlds, the trump card of the Taiping Dao? More importantly, they have completely integrated the origin of the world into the Great Han Dynasty right from the start. This time, even the Heavenly Dao will not reject them!"
"On the contrary, the world rulers of these worlds can also take the opportunity to obtain some of the authority of the Han Dynasty. After offsetting each other, how much authority will the Spirit Emperor have left?"

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Underworld Appears
Looking at the seven stars in the sky, even Lin Yang had to admit that the Taiping Dao was truly making a grand gesture!
It drew in seven worlds at once, namely two early-stage Earth-level worlds and five peak-stage Profound-level worlds, all of which were integrated into the Great Han Dynasty, while simultaneously gaining divine favor.
With such great divine favor, the Ling Emperor's world authority could only play a negligible role to the greatest extent possible!
After all, in the past, only Emperor Ling had world authority (those who did not exceed one percent are not counted for now), but now, Zhang Jiao also has it.
You have Harmony Eggs, and I have Harmony Eggs too. You dare to use them, and I dare to use them too! Of course, generally speaking, Emperor Ling has more, while Zhang Jiao has fewer, and they are more scattered.
Lin Yang looked closely and discovered that within the world that exuded a pure and ethereal aura, streaks of cyan and purple energy had appeared. At the very center, there was a pure purple pillar of heaven, illuminating all directions.
In other words, there are quite a few cultivators at the fourth-tier limit in that world. As for fifth-tier Earth Immortal cultivators, they are very few. However, this is normal, as it is only an early-stage Earth-level world, and the upper limit is only the fifth tier.
Then, these seven stars remained suspended in the sky, constantly emitting strange light and releasing countless spiritual energies and Daoist charms, continuously strengthening the foundation of the entire Han Dynasty.
The more this happened, the darker Emperor Ling's face became! Originally, after the accumulation of power by the emperors of the Han Dynasty over the generations, his authority could reach about five or seven percent.
This is already quite impressive. It allows one to unleash the full power of a seventh-tier Dao Lord five times in a row within the world. This is equivalent to Germany suddenly having five atomic bombs during World War II. How could they possibly fight back then?
Even if only one bomb hits London and blows up the entire British royal family, including Churchill and other high-ranking officials, how can the war be fought?
But now, looking at the seven worlds above him that were still continuously releasing their origins, the Spirit Emperor was truly not happy.
Although the power controlled by the Spirit Emperor will increase after the seven worlds are fully integrated, his authority will be greatly reduced! The day he becomes the ruler of the worlds seems to be a long way off!
More importantly, the world is currently merging, the origin is gradually being released, and the Han Dynasty itself is constantly strengthening.
Therefore, if anyone attacks these seven worlds during this process, they truly have no desire to live! The Heavenly Way, also known as God, will not let you off the hook!
In other words, even knowing that the merging of the worlds would bring all sorts of troubles to his rule, the Spirit Emperor still couldn't voice any opposition! After all, he was merely the ruler of the world!
One percent of the world's authority is called the Lord of the World.
Ten percent of the world's authority is called the World Controller.
The absolute authority over the world is called the Heavenly Way.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, spiritual energy erupted, and countless Daoist principles manifested in the mortal realm.
Many people's chronic illnesses were directly cured. Many experts' hidden injuries were also completely healed without them even realizing it.
Even the very foundation of the entire populace was elevated by ten percent during these three days of transformation! Even a master like Lin Yang was no exception.
At this moment, the fusion of the world's origins was complete, and Lin Yang felt the entire world rejoicing. At the same time, an immense amount of merit instantly appeared. This merit, in the form of a dark yellow color, descended from the sky and spread throughout the entire world.
Of this, thirty percent fell into the mountains and rivers, reinforcing the entire world; the sky became higher, the earth thicker, and space itself more stable.
Next, two layers of merit fell upon the Taiping Dao sect in Jizhou. About 15% of the merit went to Zhang Jiao, and the remaining 0.5% went to the other Taoists.
After accumulating merit, Zhang Jiao's aura became even more profound. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, took out the original copy of the *Taiping Yaoshu* (Essential Techniques of Great Peace), and shouted at the book, "Slay!"
In a flash, Zhang Jiao, dressed in white and wielding a portion of the Taiping Essentials, reappeared. At the same time, Zhang Jiao's aura rose another level, and his cultivation directly reached the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.
“I am a benevolent corpse, named Taiping Daoren.”
"good."
At the same time, many breakthroughs were also heard within the mountain gate! Zhang Jiao was very pleased to see so many disciples and followers breaking through one after another.
Then, two more layers of merit appeared, entering two Earth-level worlds. Two more layers of merit entered five Profound-level peak worlds. The remaining layer of merit was directly bestowed upon the beings of the Great Han.
"Hoo, this is the way of Heaven! It is high above, without distinction between good and evil, right and wrong. The only standard is whether you have made a contribution to Heaven and Earth! Those who contribute are rewarded! Those who destroy are punished! Only in this way can the world remain stable!" Looking at the sky full of merit, Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh.
If his prediction is correct, Zhang Jiao will definitely break through again. After all, having made such a great contribution to the world in one go, continuous breakthroughs are understandable.
Moreover, it won't take too long! In other words, it won't be long before a peak Celestial Immortal cultivator appears!
After a long while, the seven stars also changed. Suddenly, a voice came from the black stars.
"This star should fall to the depths of the earth, gathering all the souls of the dead, so that all dead creatures may have a place to live; it shall be the underworld!"
