"Slaves seek masters, commoners seek lords, lords seek princes, princes pay homage to the king, and the king calls himself the Son of Heaven..."
"Even the Emperor of Great Qi, who unified the world, would offer sacrifices to heaven and earth on Mount Tai."
"The cultivators of the past seized the fortune of heaven and earth and fought against the heavens for their lives..."
"But I don't know when it started, but they also started to worship the Lord God..."
"They kneel down straight, as if they have a statue of a god above their heads, and they feel at ease and justified..."
"But they forget that if you kneel for too long, you won't be able to get up!"
"I wanted to change these ignorant weaklings..."
"It's useless to simply keep the gods away from the human world. The world has been divided for too long, and a centralized court is necessary to unify culture and beliefs."
"I'm not like Xiao Kong, who insists that the imperial court must belong to the Jiang family. Maybe this is why the royal family is wary of me."
"I support Xiao Kong's promotion of education. Although he has other motives, it is to enlighten the people and benefit them..."
"If he had trusted me, then the Conferred Gods game, which was full of loopholes, could have been more perfect..."

Following that chuckle, the calamity cloud retreated back into the sky as if in fear.
"I am hiding on the top of Mount Tai, not because I am trapped in sadness, but because I am confused..."
“Who should I find to practice my teachings?”
Daosheng raised his hand and waved his sword casually.
In the blink of an eye, the cloudy sky turned sunny.
The blazing midday sun reappeared, the sky clear and cloudless, no trace of any calamity clouds...
The calamity cloud that was as feared as a tiger in the eyes of the world just dissipated like that.
The old man smiled.
"Now, I understand..."
"Why should I look for someone?"
"Everyone wants to be the one above them, so I'll be the one above them all!"
"Since you all dislike the rules I've defined for the human world and are eager for me to ascend to heaven, then I'll return to my place!!"
