Chapter 37 The Love-Brained God Ming Wan Slays the Gods
Not all gods possess privileges, but when a high-ranking god is destroyed, the low-ranking gods will once again transform from the oppressed into the oppressors.
The gap between humans and gods is too great. If they lived in the same world, even if Qi Wang wiped out the gods led by the Heavenly Emperor now, the next batch of gods would automatically become the new oppressors.
Humans need space to grow; they don't need the protection of the gods. They can always find a way out on their own.
After dealing with the incompetent gods in the Heavenly Realm, Qi Wang went to the Demon Realm.
The Demon Lord hasn't been gone for long, and the Demon Realm hasn't been affected yet. However, given the Demon Lord's character, his influence extends to those below him, and they are also quite exploitative of humans.
Human souls are a great tonic to these demons. They have never respected humans, and devouring human souls is commonplace for them.
The gods of the heavens control monsters to slaughter humans, while the demons of the demon realm harvest human souls. Humans are exploited by a dragon, with not a single bit wasted, and they are squeezed clean.
Qi Wang merged the Demon Realm and the Celestial Realm into the same world. In a sense, there is no difference between gods and demons, and it would be better if they harmed each other.
After finishing everything, Qi Wang finally remembered the Empress he had imprisoned.
When she was released, the Empress could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.
She spent millions of years alone in the mustard seed space, and her mind had long since collapsed.
Qi Wang stared at the Empress for a long time, and after confirming that she had completely collapsed, he crushed her soul and scattered it between heaven and earth.
The diva fought her whole life, exhausting herself to maintain her position and harming countless people, yet her death was so ordinary that it didn't cause the slightest ripple in the world.
As for the Heavenly Emperor, the culprit behind all of this, Qi Wang did not simply eliminate him. Instead, he stripped the Heavenly Emperor of his cultivation and threw him into the territory of the gods and demons.
He did not conceal the Heavenly Emperor's appearance. In order to prevent anyone from not recognizing that this was the former Heavenly Emperor, Qi Wang implanted the improved Pill-Eating Insects into the Heavenly Emperor's body.
Whenever the Heavenly Emperor appears before someone, under the influence of the Pill-Eating Worm, he will reveal his identity and recount everything he has done.
The Celestial Realm is no longer what it used to be. Its area has shrunk and it has merged with the Demon Realm. Resources have decreased, but the number of people vying for them has increased. How could they not hate the culprits who caused all this?
It's easy to imagine what fate awaited the Heavenly Emperor if he fell into the hands of these people.
Of course, Qi Wang didn't forget those high and mighty immortals either. He also planted pill-eating insects in them and then released them into the new world.
Those who do evil will eventually suffer the consequences; this is the karma they must bear. Qi Wang merely acted as a catalyst. As for their future, that depends on the extent of their own evil deeds.
The pill-eating worms will live and die with them, and on the day their sins are redeemed, the pill-eating worms will take them with them and disappear from the world.

Hong Zhao and Yuanwei were just two ordinary female immortals. They came from humble backgrounds and were the most insignificant beings among the powerful gods. However, they never belittled themselves and always worked hard to improve their cultivation, hoping to create a better future for themselves.
The two of them went to participate in the selection of female immortals in the Heavenly Palace together, but after passing the preliminary test, they discovered something was wrong. They inexplicably discovered the secret of the selection of female immortals in the Heavenly Palace. Unknown insects appeared in their inner palaces. These insects seemed to carry some kind of strange power and were consuming their own power.
These insects were planted by the people of the Heavenly Palace when they participated in the selection. The selection of the Heavenly Palace was obviously not as simple as it seemed on the surface. After the two removed the insects from their inner palace, they chose to leave the Eastern Wilderness.
The two had always found it strange, given their low magical power. How could they possibly discern the origin of the insects hidden within their bodies, and so easily expel them?
However, their memories of how they discovered the insect remained vague. As for how they clearly found the insect, they subconsciously ignored it, as if it were all taken for granted.
Until the content suddenly appearing on the sky revealed the whole truth, when they saw those images, their missing memories were suddenly filled in. Their intuition told them that the person responsible for all of this was Lan Qi, who had participated in the selection with them, and the female fairy they later encountered also confirmed this.
Qi Wang saved them, told them the truth, and gave them a chance for revenge. They seized this opportunity and, together with Qi Wang, overthrew the high gods who had oppressed and manipulated them.
The celestial realm is no longer what it used to be, but this doesn't have a big impact on these lesser fairies. They even feel more free now, and the celestial realm is no longer as oppressive as it used to be.
"Sister Hongzhao, do you think that if the two of us hadn't left back then, wouldn't we have contributed to overthrowing the Heavenly Emperor's tyranny?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhao looked at Iris, who was in low spirits: "Have you seen those female immortals who once fought alongside Sister Lan Qi again?"
Iris nodded and said sullenly, "I'm so envious of them. They get to fight alongside Sister Lan Qi. If only we had been braver back then..."
Iris still harbors resentment about what happened back then, and even after more than two hundred years, she still feels regret.
Hong Zhao, on the other hand, was more open-minded than her.
Qi Wang had given them a choice, asking if they wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace together to seek revenge. It was the two of them who chose to leave, fearing that they would clash with the Heavenly Palace.
None of them could have imagined that Qi Wang, relying solely on female immortals like them, would overthrow the rule of the Heavenly Palace and those high-ranking gods, and return the Heavenly Realm to the immortals living there.
Those evil gods have turned into monsters and killed each other, while the surviving gods are those who have not done evil.
They always remembered the tragic fate of those gods and dared not harbor any evil thoughts. While going astray would allow their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, when the consequences backfired, they would also face an irrecoverable end.
They almost got involved in this earth-shattering operation that would overthrow the divine realm, but unfortunately, their cowardice ultimately caused them to miss out on it all.
Hong Zhao had regretted it before, but she soon came to terms with it.
"Iris, compared to many other immortals, we are already very good. After all, we were once a part of it. Although we did not make it to the end, we still contributed our share."
"This incident has also taught us that immortals cannot be timid and avoid harm, which is of no benefit to our cultivation. It is meaningless to dwell on the past. If we do not work hard to cultivate, we will be even more embarrassed to appear in front of Sister Lan Qi when we see her again in the future."
"Besides, Sister Lan Qi won't blame us."
If he blamed them, he wouldn't have erased their memories in the first place. Qi Wang was probably afraid that if his plan failed, it would implicate them again.
He made thorough preparations, all for their own good, so why should they hold a grudge about the path they didn't finish?
Hong Zhao's persuasion was effective; Iris only got stuck in her own thoughts for a short time and soon recovered.
"Yes, the Heavenly Realm isn't that big, but it's not that small either. We'll meet Sister Lan Qi again someday. We should cultivate diligently so that we can proudly tell her that she saved us and that we didn't disgrace her."
The two quickly immersed themselves in cultivation. However, as their cultivation levels rose higher and higher, and they eventually became famous immortals in the celestial realm, they never saw Qi Wang again.

Ye Yun was born a prince. Although he was not favored, he lived a life of luxury. Everyone who saw him would respectfully address him as "Your Highness."
Later, the Heavenly Empress broke with the Heavenly Emperor. In his rage, the Heavenly Emperor annihilated the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and the Heavenly Empress's several legitimate sons were also thrown off the Execution Platform by the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Empress sacrificed her own life to severely injure the Heavenly Emperor, but her soul was scattered and she disappeared from the world.
The Heavenly Emperor suffered a severe injury, and his condition did not heal for a long time. Even if the Heavenly Emperor was reluctant to give up, he had no way to keep the power in his hands.
Ye Yun naturally ascended the throne and became the trusted Heavenly Emperor.
He still remembered how glorious it was when he ascended the throne. At that time, he was full of pride and determined to do something earth-shattering and make his fame surpass that of his father.
In a sense, Ye Yun truly achieved something unprecedented and unparalleled.
In his hands, the celestial realm was destroyed.
Yes, in Ye Yun's view, the Heavenly Palace was captured, the high gods were slaughtered, the Heavenly and Demonic Realms were merged into one, and the six human realms that continuously provided the Heavenly Realm with the power of faith also lost control.
The Celestial Realm exists in name only, becoming an isolated island.
And he, the once high and mighty Heavenly Emperor who could command the wind and rain at will, lost his noble status and became a prisoner.
After the destruction of the Heavenly Realm, a pill-eating worm was implanted in his body. The human who destroyed the Heavenly Realm and called himself Qi Wang told him that he had to pay for his sins.
He said that he should blame the heavens for raising a bunch of people with love-obsessed minds, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.
"Ultimately, the cause is you, and you should bear the consequences of all this."
No one understood the horror of the pill-eating worm better than Ye Yun, and what was even more terrifying was that Ye Yun retained her self-awareness from beginning to end.
He lost his cultivation and became a complete cripple.
Whenever he meets other people, he reveals his identity and what he has done.
The surviving gods hated his actions, and upon discovering his identity, they captured him and tortured him by all means.
Ye Yun howled in agony, begging them to give him a quick death, but no one listened to him.
After discovering that Ye Yun would not die no matter how much he was tortured, the gods who captured him told the other gods about it.
They built a prison and imprisoned Ye Yun inside. This place became the tacitly approved testing ground of the heavens, and Ye Yun became a common experimental subject for the gods.
The gods in the heavens can come here and do anything to him. He has a strong ability to recover and will never die. In addition, given the heinous crimes he has committed, no god feels any pity for him.
Ye Yun had considered suicide, but no matter what method he used, he could not kill himself.
Every moment, gods were tormenting him, using all sorts of spells to torture his body and ravage his soul.
His body was crushed by magic, but quickly recovered; his soul was torn into millions of pieces, and then reformed amidst endless pain.
Immortality became the most terrible punishment. Ye Yun's wails echoed throughout the prison, yet no one would let him leave.
Ye Yun was the first deity to be imprisoned, and soon there was a second, a third, a fourth...
The once high and mighty gods were thrown into prison, where, like Ye Yun, they suffered inhuman torture day after day, year after year, until the day their sins were redeemed.
The demon realm naturally treated them the same way. The demons who used human souls to increase their cultivation level rapidly regressed, and they soon became prey for other demons. Everything they had done would be repaid to them in the same way.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; they deserve it.
Thanks to Qi Wang's efforts, the original six human realms have become seven, and they will develop in an unknown direction without the intervention of gods.
When the power of faith lost its original function, Qi Wang also transformed back into a human body.
The change of identity did not cause Qi Wang any discomfort; he did not need an adjustment period.
Gods or humans, it made little difference to him.
Of course, Qi Wang did not return to the village where the original owner lived.
Before turning back into a human, he erased all traces of the existence of these world gods. Without gods, there would naturally be no belief in them.
Humans should just follow their own path; whether there are gods or not makes no difference.
After living out his natural life in this world until his death, fulfilling the original owner's last wish, Qi Wang left this world.
[Task complete.]
