No one is allowed to desecrate it; not even a saint or powerful figure could utter a single curse.

This is a manifestation of the supreme authority of the Lord of Heaven.

In the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader and all the immortals and powerful beings in the Journey to the West world.

What Yin Zicheng meant by making the Tongtian Sect Leader the Lord of the World was to have him refine the Heavenly Dao Seal and become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao.

The Lord of Heaven is the Lord of the World.

But in reality, that's not the case!

...

As the Tongtian Sect Leader took control of the Heavenly Dao, he became the Lord of Heaven.

Under the influence of mysterious power, the soaring power of Tongtian Jiaozhu, a guest minister of the Shang Dynasty, was completely synchronized with Yin Zicheng.

This immense power was so overwhelming to the Tongtian Sect Leader that it shocked him to the core and even gave him the illusion that he was invincible.

For Yin Zicheng, however, it was insignificant and not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing the Tongtian Sect Leader's excited expression, Yin Zicheng smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Elder Tongtian, there's no need for such formalities..."

"Now, you have refined the Heavenly Dao Seal and become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao."

"Next, it's time for you to become the ruler of the world."

...

As soon as Yin Zicheng spoke, the Tongtian Sect Leader was stunned.

What?

Isn't the Lord of Heaven the Lord of the World?

He has already mastered the rules of the entire world, and the whole world is under his control. Isn't he the master of the world?

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader was extremely confused.

Not only the Tongtian Sect Leader, but everyone who heard Yin Zicheng's words was actually very surprised and suspicious.

Laozi, Nuwa, and Houtu all looked at Yin Zicheng with expressions of surprise and doubt.

They were somewhat puzzled as to what Yin Zicheng meant by "the Lord of the World."

...

Puzzled.

The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but ask Yin Zicheng:

"Holy Ancestor, you wield the rules of Heaven, so don't you control the entire world? Doesn't that make you the master of the world?"

Yin Zicheng shook his head and said:

"Of course not. Although the Heavenly Dao is an aggregate of rules, mastering the Heavenly Dao means mastering the various rules and powers of the world, influencing the entire world..."

"But in essence, the Way of Earth, the Way of Humanity, and the Way of Heaven are equivalent. If someone can fully master the power of the Way of Earth or the Way of Humanity, then he can contend with you!"

"A true master of the world must be someone who controls every aspect of the world and whose existence is unmatched by anyone!"

...

Yin Zicheng's words were like a thunderclap, shocking the Tongtian Sect Leader and the others who were besieging them.

The Lord of Heaven is so powerful that he surpasses even a saint by a billion times; he is practically invincible.

As a result, in Yin Shengzu's words, he still could not be considered the master of the world.

How powerful must the ruler of that world be?

Furthermore, how could an existence that possesses the secrets of the earth and humanity be able to contend with the Lord of the Heavenly Dao?

This was beyond the preconceived notions of the gods and immortals of Journey to the West, and it greatly shocked them!

It should be understood that the Heavenly Dao, as an innate existence, is the aggregate of rules that constructs the entire world, and thus appears to be the strongest.

Furthermore, after Hongjun Laozu attained sainthood, he consistently used the power of the Heavenly Dao to suppress the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao.

This means that the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, which are essentially at the same level, are not of the same status in the eyes of the immortals and gods of Journey to the West.

They all believed that the Way of Heaven was supreme, and that the Way of Earth and the Way of Man were simply not enough to contend with it!

...

As the former mastermind behind the scenes, Hongjun Laozu was very clear about the fact that the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man were of equal status.

His original plan was to first thoroughly master the Heavenly Way, then use the power of the Heavenly Way to master the Earthly Way and the Human Way, thereby unifying the three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity and becoming the true ruler!

When Hongjun Laozu heard that Yin Zicheng was only helping Tongtian Jiaozhu become the Lord of Heaven, he still didn't stop, but wanted to go even further and help Tongtian Jiaozhu become the Lord of the World who controls everything.

He was already filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and his jealousy drove him to madness!

'I am far superior to Tongtian; I am the most suitable candidate to be the master of this world!'

'Why did Ancestor Yin choose someone like Tongtian over the original self?'

'I refuse to accept this! How could an existence like Ancestor Yin be so blind as to overlook my worth?'

'That brat Tongtian, he actually tried to steal my title as the Lord of the World! This treacherous and ungrateful bastard deserves to die!'

Driven by intense jealousy, Hongjun's eyes were practically bleeding.

He stared intently in the direction of the Tongtian Sect Leader, wishing he could devour him alive!

...

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt as if he were in a dream.

Today is truly a dream come true for the Master of Heaven.

In the morning, he was still trapped in Biyou Palace, his future bleak.

In just half a day, the Tongtian Sect Leader not only regained his freedom but also attained the Hunyuan realm.

He even became the Lord of Heaven, who held the reins of the Heavenly Dao!

This already made the Tongtian Sect Leader ecstatic, as if he were in a dream.

Now, before the Tongtian Sect Leader could fully recover from the surprise and shock of becoming the Lord of Heaven, he was still in a state of shock.

An even bigger surprise fell into his lap!

A world lord who is more powerful than the Lord of Heaven and simultaneously wields the power of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity!

What incredible power that would be!

The Tongtian Cult Leader could hardly imagine it.

He was so overwhelmed with surprise and awe that he was completely stunned.

He was stunned for a moment.

Having regained his senses, the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke to Yin Zicheng in a trembling voice:

"Holy Ancestor, I can never repay your kindness to me, not even in all my lifetimes!"

"I have already received the Heavenly Seal and become the Lord of Heaven, which is already a great honor and I am filled with trepidation! You still want to help me become the Lord of the World. I do not know how to repay you. I can only promise you that I will repay the great kindness of the Holy Ancestor with my life!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was extremely excited; not only was his voice trembling, but his eyes were also red, as if he was about to shed tears!
