[God Lord: I know your plight, Emperor of the Human Empire.]

Shen Zhaochi spoke.

[God Lord: You face the most vile Chaos Power in the universe. You have resisted the Evil God for ten thousand years with your spirit alone, guarding the last spark of humanity. Your merit is immeasurable.]

He affirmed the Emperor's achievements first, closing the distance between them.

The Emperor's soul trembled.

This God Lord actually knew about the Chaos Evil God!

And that he had been struggling for ten thousand years!

Could it be that he was truly a great being who transcended the dimensions of the universe?

[God Lord: But your method is wrong. To fight Chaos with your soul is like feeding a tiger with your own body, drinking poison to quench your thirst. The more you resist, the more your leaked emotions become nourishment for the Evil God. Your empire deifies your name, establishing a state religion, but does not know that this blind and ignorant faith will only place more shackles on you.]

Shen Zhaochi incisively pointed out the problems of the Emperor and his empire.

On the Golden Throne, the Emperor's soul stirred up a storm.

That's right!

Everything he said was correct!

He originally established the empire to promote the Imperial Truth, promote science and reason, and eliminate all demons and monsters.

But what was the result?

He himself had become the biggest "god" enshrined on the altar.

How ironic.

[Emperor of the Human Empire: God Lord, please guide me! As long as it can save humanity, I am willing to pay any price!]

The Emperor put down his last bit of pride and made a request to this mysterious God Lord.

[God Lord: It's very simple. Abandon the worship of yourself and instead believe in me.]

[God Lord: Build my God Hall in your empire and chant my divine name. I will send down Divine Power to purify the pollution of Chaos and grant my loyal warriors Divine Grace, so that they can better fight against the Alien and Devil.]

[God Lord: You will become my Proxy in that world. When you have completed your merits, I can not only repair your body and let you walk out of the Golden Throne, but also help you build a truly eternal and immortal human empire.]

Shen Zhaochi threw out a temptation that the Emperor could not refuse.

Walk out of the Golden Throne!

Rebuild a truly glorious empire!

This was his dream for ten thousand years!

[Emperor of the Human Empire: What is the price?]

The Emperor's soul calmed down.

He didn't believe there was a free lunch in the world.

[God Lord: The price is the faith of you and your entire empire. Your faith is the source of my power.]

Shen Zhaochi did not hide anything.

There was no need to hide such things.

This was a fair trade.

I give you power and hope, and you give me faith.

The Emperor was silent.

To abandon the ideals he had adhered to all his life and believe in an unknown god.

This was a difficult decision for him.

[Great Qin Ancestral Dragon: @Emperor of the Human Empire, brother, don't hesitate. Let me tell you, believe in the God Lord and you will gain eternal life! Look at me, I feel like I can punch a tiger to death now! My empire is now full of dragons, and everyone is cultivating the Immortal Method bestowed by the God Lord! An immortal Qin is just around the corner!]

Ying Zheng, this "shill," jumped out at just the right time.

[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist: God Lord is merciful and answers all prayers. This old Daoist can now also bestow titles upon mountain gods and protect one side.]

Zhang Sanfeng also chimed in.

[Loves Drinking Beast Milk: God Lord big brother is super awesome! I feel like I'll be able to get my bones back soon!]

Looking at the testimonials of these "seniors" in the group.

The scales in the Emperor's heart began to tilt.

Perhaps...

This was really humanity's only hope.

[Emperor of the Human Empire: God Lord, what should I do?]

He finally made a decision.

Shen Zhaochi smiled slightly.

Another high-quality worker acquired.

Shen Zhaochi sent the abridged version of the Primordial Godhood Scripture to the Emperor.

And, as an extra bonus, he included the method for creating a "Purification Talisman."

This kind of divine talisman requires the devout hearts of believers, plus a wisp of Divine Power bestowed by the God Lord, to create.

It has an extremely strong restraining effect on the corruption of Chaos.

This is precisely what the Emperor and :his empire need most right now.

After doing all this, Shen Zhaochi felt that :his Godhood System had grown stronger.

Great Qin's Human Dao Divine Court.

Wudang's Immortal Dao Deities.

The tribal totem of Stone Village.

And the future Human Empire's War Temple.

A Godhood Empire spanning the heavens is already taking shape.

Once the faith in these worlds stabilizes, the power they provide should be enough for me to stir up some trouble in the Primordial Era.

Shen Zhaochi's gaze turned to the Primordial Era world once more.

Golden Ao Island.

Biyou Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian should also receive some warnings from the "future."

Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Upper Purity Sage, Sect Master Tongtian, sat cross-legged on the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage, surrounded by sword energy that sometimes transformed into azure lotuses, and sometimes evolved into galaxies, mysterious and unpredictable.

Today was not a day for preaching, and only :his personal disciples, such as the Seven Attendant Immortals, were at :his side, attending to :him.

Suddenly, Sect Master Tongtian opened :his eyes abruptly, two sharp sword lights seeming to pierce through the Chaos.

"Hmm?"

:he uttered a sound of surprise.

Just now, :he felt a palpitation in :his heart, and in the depths of :his being, :he sensed a vast amount of fortune intertwining with :his Intercepting Sect.

This fortune was vast, majestic, yet utterly unfamiliar, not belonging to the Mystic Gate, not belonging to the Western Teachings, and certainly not belonging to the Devilish Dao.

It was like a variable that appeared out of nowhere, forcibly squeezing into the already destined grand trend of the Heavenly Dao.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The eldest disciple, Duobao Daoist, noticed the change in :his master's aura and asked with concern.

Sect Master Tongtian did not answer. :he closed :his eyes and began to deduce the Heavenly Secrets.

However, the Heavenly Secrets were a chaotic mess, shrouded in Calamity Fiend Qi, and even a Sage could only see a haze.

:he tried to calculate the future related to the Intercepting Sect.

What :he saw was still the heartbreaking scene.

The Myriad Immortals Formation was broken, the Intercepting Sect disciples were almost all killed or injured, either dying and ascending to the Investiture of the Gods, or being taken away by the Western Teachings to become mounts and Dharma protectors.

:he :himself was eventually taken back to Purple Cloud Palace by :his master, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and confined to reflect on :his actions.

This was the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao, a fixed number.

Even a Sage could hardly defy it.

But...

What was that strange fortune from just now?

It was like a boulder thrown into muddy water, stirring up layers of ripples even though its specific shape could not be seen clearly.

Sect Master Tongtian refused to believe it and once again used the killing aura of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation as a guide, forcibly breaking through the haze to glimpse a corner of the future.

This time, :he saw something different.

In the original scene of the Intercepting Sect's destruction, a faint Purple-Gold Light appeared.

Although the light was weak, it was tenacious and stubbornly protected the True Spirits of several key figures.

Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wudang Holy Mother, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother... and Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao...

In the original trajectory of fate, they would all be people destined to face tribulation, with tragic ends.

But in this new scene, their fate seemed to have shifted slightly.

Although they were still entangled in tribulation energy, they had a glimmer of hope.
