After the council of gods concluded.
The many gods immediately returned to their respective divine realms to cultivate new techniques.
As time went by.
The effects of the exercise are beginning to show.
Many deities have experienced that their power increases faster and more effectively than when they cultivate using the power of incense offerings.
And you don't have to worry about believers all day long.
Then why bother with humans? Just immediately send all the humans in the divine kingdom back to the human race's territory.
As a result, the human population grew rapidly.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the agreed date has arrived.
During this time, those less powerful gods had already tasted the benefits of the new cultivation method and sent humans back to their ancestral lands.
Only the God-King and the God-Emperor remained inactive.
They naturally went back to experience the effects of the new technique, and it did indeed improve their strength, but it was far from what they had expected.
Why?
Because they have a large number of believers, the abundant incense offerings are incomparable to those of new practices.
The cultivation effect was reduced by about half.
This angered them so much that they cursed and swore every day in their kingdom, constantly condemning the injustice.
But now that the appointed date has arrived, all the gods below the God-King realm feel that the new cultivation method is better than the power of incense. No matter how much the God-Kings and God-Emperors oppose it, they cannot represent all the gods.
They were suppressed by powerful figures like the God Emperor and Zhang Mu above them, and they couldn't summon the gods below them.
They could only reluctantly return the humans in the divine realm to the human race according to the agreement.
Zhang Mu had anticipated this outcome from the beginning, which was also a clever move. As long as he satisfied the many gods, he could also suppress the number of gods at the God King and God Emperor levels.
From now on, the gods won't be able to cause any trouble.
If humanity were given a few thousand more years to develop, it could immediately catch up with the current gap.
Even if war breaks out again, it will be the human race that will overpower the gods.
......
"Senior, now that the gods have returned humanity, then..."
The four God Emperors looked at Zhang Mu and said.
"Hmm, the result is good. I will naturally fulfill my promise. From now on, I will stay here with you to suppress the entrance to the otherworldly cave and prevent any accidents from happening."
Zhang Mu nodded, since he had the same idea anyway.
The gods breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Zhang Mu would go back on his word. If he did, the four gods wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Mutong, along with the God Emperor, guarded this place, while the outside world was also thriving.
One powerful Qi cultivator after another emerged among the human race, while the number of mid- to high-ranking gods also surged due to the new cultivation methods.
The new cultivation method has a very low entry barrier, allowing gods of low strength to avoid competing for believers as before and simply focus on diligent cultivation.
However, the increase in power for the God-King and God-Emperor was greatly slowed down.
Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Liu Zhengyuan broke through to the God Emperor realm, and his essence and spirit could be felt by all living beings in the world.
The four God Emperors looked at Zhang Mu, whose eyes were closed, with surprise and a bitter smile.
It seems the situation in this world is about to change.
The first thing Liu Zhengyuan did after breaking through to the God Emperor Realm was to summarize his life's cultivation experience and begin to define the realms for Qi Refiners.
It is divided into: the Nine Realms, the Five Visceral Realms, the Six Bowel Realms, and the Emperor Realm.
The Nine Realms correspond to mortals breaking through nine boundaries, transcending their physical bodies, and entering the extraordinary realm.
Breaking through the ninth realm of mortals means that your physical body is now almost comparable to that of a god.
The Five Viscera Realm has five minor levels: the first viscera is comparable to a lower-level god, the second viscera is comparable to a middle-level god, the third viscera is comparable to a higher-level god, the fourth viscera is comparable to a god-king, and the fifth viscera is comparable to a god-king at the peak.
After completing the cultivation of the five internal organs, one enters the realm of the six viscera, which is equivalent to stepping into the level of the Divine Emperor.
After cultivating all five internal organs to perfection, one's strength will advance to the level of a fully-fledged God Emperor.
Once you break through the final barrier, you can reach the Emperor Realm, which is the God Emperor level, the upper limit of this world.
Just as Liu Zhengyuan was summarizing his experience, the Eye of Heaven appeared, and a beam of auspicious light shone on him.
Liu Zhengyuan was somewhat at a loss, after all, this was the will of Heaven, and he could not resist it. Fortunately, such an unusual phenomenon did not seem to be a bad thing.
"Inspiring the great prosperity of the human race, four supreme emperors of the human race have been established, whose status is equal to that of the Heavenly Emperor."
The voice of Heaven spread throughout the world, startling all the gods, while the human race beamed with joy.
This is a true rise! It has gained the approval of Heaven!
Liu Zhengyuan was so overwhelmed by the surprise that he instinctively followed the instructions of Heaven and merged with one of the human race's imperial thrones.
For a moment, he felt that the world was completely under his control.
This is a grant of authority by the Heavenly Dao.
After the Eye of Heaven finished proclaiming this, it prepared to leave, little did it know that a cunning old fox was waiting for it for a long time.
"Hehe, finally caught you! Hehehe!"
Ye Yu, holding the Eye of Heaven, disappeared into the air and arrived at the core of the world.
Thus, the outside world was completely unaware of all of this.
This is the heart of the world.
Tiandao looked at Ye Yu, whose eyes gleamed with ferocity, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "You're here as a guest... right?"
......
Time flies, and several years have passed.
Before anyone knew it, several hundred years had passed in this world.
That day, Zhang Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and the other four God Emperors reacted in the same way.
I looked at the hole in the air that was beginning to tremble with worry.
"The seal is getting looser and looser. It's estimated that it won't be long before it breaks and is invaded by another world."
"Join me in strengthening the seal!"
Zhang Mu spoke up.
The four God Emperors nodded and joined Zhang Mu in strengthening the seal.
It is unknown how much time passed before the turbulent cave entrance finally calmed down.
Zhang Mu frowned. The sealing effect this time was minimal, and it could only temporarily suppress the problem. The same method would probably not be effective in the future.
The other side's world is really tough.
When in doubt, turn to the system.
"System, is there any way to completely seal off this opening?"
Zhang Mu inquired with his system.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was still 'chatting and drinking tea' with the Heavenly Dao.
However, he responded quickly.
[Ding! It does exist, but at a high cost.]
What is the price?
Zhang Mu asked.
All the host needs to do is transform into the World Tree and then use all of their own abilities to suppress it.
The consequence of doing so is that the host will die and become a mindless, oppressive tree.
Zhang Mu's eyes lit up after hearing this. That's it?
Since I'm not a being of this world anyway, I can simply return to it after death.
I've basically cleared this world myself, and the extra reward for helping the main world solve this problem is substantial.
I was so strong that I didn't even know how I died. Now, it's perfect, just as I expected.
"It's alright, I've gained a lot from this trip, it's time to leave."
Zhang Mu responded.
[Ding! Alright, just follow the system's instructions.]
Zhang Mu indicated that he understood and waited quietly.
The heart of the world.
"See how great my host is? Aren't you going to show your appreciation?"
Ye Yu patted the 'shoulder' of the Heavenly Dao consciousness and smiled.
The latter was overcome with grief and gave Ye Yu another ten percent of the world's origin.
"He knows how to handle things; it seems I've trained him quite well."
Ye Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Over the years, he has been "chatting" with the Heavenly Dao, which has now taken his shape. Not only did he obtain the origin of the rules, but the Heavenly Dao also "gifted" him 70% of the world's origin. With the 10% he just received, he now has a full 80% of the world's origin.
