After setting the Divine War time, Ye Yu turned and left directly.

Just a few steps out, the system's electronic voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Beep! Detected that player Gu Du has cultivated Basic Qi Cultivation Technique and Collapsing Fist to Great Perfection!"

"Host automatically learns Basic Qi Cultivation Technique (Great Perfection) and Collapsing Fist (Great Perfection)!"

The two sudden electronic tones left Ye Yu momentarily stunned.

He vaguely remembered that Cultivation Methods exchanged from the system could only be cultivated by players.

But this time, he had actually learned Basic Qi Cultivation Technique and Collapsing Fist as well, and at Great Perfection level!

"System, what's going on?"

Ye Yu moved his mind and asked the system.

The electronic voice soon rang out again.

"Has the host forgotten? Any achievements players make Inside Immortal Path, you can synchronize and obtain!"

Hearing this, Ye Yu suddenly understood.

"So that's it!"

Although he had long known he could synchronize with Immortal Path players.

He had only thought it was things like Sub-Professions in the game.

He never expected the system could even synchronize Cultivation Method skills for him!

But with this, Ye Yu suddenly grew curious.

What was he now, a god or an immortal?

In the World of Gods, he was a deity, yet the system had made him learn immortal cultivation techniques!

"Host need not doubt!"

"In the World of Gods, there are Lower Gods, Middle Gods, Upper Gods, and High Gods!"

"The host is currently a One-star Demigod, belonging to the Lower God rank."

"Lower Gods themselves have no real attack methods; during a Divine War, they rely on the laws of heaven and earth to connect both Divine Domains, then let their Believers fight!"

"Such methods are undoubtedly extremely crude. Middle Gods are a bit stronger, but not much better!"

"Only when advancing to Upper God does one begin to act like a True God, able to destroy heaven and earth with a casual gesture!"

"The host has obtained an immortal cultivation technique, which merely means having some simple abilities of an Upper God while still a Lower God!"

The system explained in great detail, and after hearing it, Ye Yu immediately understood.

For now, he was a Demigod, in the Lower God rank.

To become a Middle God, he would have to advance to a Middle God.

As for Upper God, that started at least with True God.

Even Great God Arbor, who ruled Arbor God City, was only a Middle God.

In other words, even someone as strong as Great God Arbor, to kill a deity, had to invade their Divine Domain and wage a Divine War.

But an Upper God wouldn't need such trouble.

With a flip of the hand, they could instantly destroy a lower-ranked deity's Divine Domain and body, without needing to communicate with heaven and earth's laws or invade their domain.

As for true High Gods, they didn't even need to act.

A single thought from their Divine Sense could kill a lower-ranked deity.

Now, Ye Yu had synchronized Gu Du's Basic Qi Cultivation Technique and Collapsing Fist. While his overall strength hadn't increased dramatically.

His attack methods had undergone a qualitative breakthrough.

A divine skill that should only be available at the Upper God level, Ye Yu now possessed as a Demigod.

Of course, both Basic Qi Cultivation Technique and Collapsing Fist were far inferior to true divine skills.

But Ye Yu's Believers were Earth Players, with infinite growth potential.

Once these players fully grew Inside Immortal Path, not to mention divine skills, even legendary spells and supernatural powers, Ye Yu could learn them in no time.

By then, Upper Gods and High Gods would all be nothing to look at!

After all, the setting of Immortal Path was Eastern mythology.

Not something comparable to the more Western-style deities of the World of Gods.

Thinking this, Ye Yu quickened his pace and walked toward his room.

Xiao Gui watched Ye Yu's figure disappear, and a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"I get it!"

"Ye Yu, Ye Yu, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

"Beneath that cold exterior of yours, you're hiding a fiery heart too, aren't you?"

"You're just as eager for a fair fight with me, so you won't let anyone ruin our future duel!"

"That's why you're afraid that Wodema, with his surging power, might threaten me!"

"So you deliberately stepped up and declared a Divine War on him!"

"Ye Yu, you're such an idiot. Do you really think so little of me, Xiao Gui? That I can't handle Wodema?"

"But... why am I suddenly a little moved?"

Xiao Gui felt he understood.

A smile tugged unbidden at the corners of his mouth.

"You fool, you idiot, why would you do this?"

"Hmph, you made me so mad just now my chest swelled up!"

Xiao Gui snorted, twisted his waist, and turned to leave.

Yet, for some reason, Xiao Gui, who usually walked with a swagger, now had a step that was... a little off!

Watching Ye Yu and Xiao Gui leave one after the other, Shabi and Wodema exchanged a subtle glance.

Then, with unspoken understanding, they each went their separate ways.

The bystanders, seeing no more drama, scattered as well.

As for Zhang Dongyang of Divine Fall, he was now completely forgotten by everyone.

As if he had never existed at all.

Even the few new gods who had once been on good terms with Zhang Dongyang showed no trace of sorrow...

The fickleness of relationships in the World of Gods was plain to see.

Inside the room, Ye Yu's figure had vanished.

He reappeared in his own Divine Domain.

The scene before his eyes was a bit different from before.

In the past, the Immortal Path had been lively, but the number of players was limited.

Now, however, the entire square was packed with people.

At a glance, it was a sea of heads, dense and crowded, players everywhere.

"Hit him, hit him!"

"Ma Jiaoteng, you bastard, you tricked me into spending money! I'm gonna kill you today!"

"Jiaoteng, my son, feel the wrath of your player dads?"

"Ma Jiaoteng, your Penguin Empire is going bankrupt! With Immortal Path around, who's gonna play your crappy games?"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar of cheers reached Ye Yu's ears.

Ye Yu turned to look and saw a dense crowd of players gathered at the edge of the square.

Cheers erupted from them, wave after wave.

Ye Yu frowned slightly and caught a glimpse of a disheveled figure among the crowd.

"Is that... Ma Jiaoteng?"

Ye Yu was a transmigrator from Earth, so he naturally recognized the helm of the Penguin EmpireMa Jiaoteng!

"Ma Jiaoteng got a testing slot too?"

Ye Yu was startled.

He moved instantly, appearing outside the crowd.

"Scatter!"

Ye Yu waved his sleeve, and a gentle force spread out instantly.

The crowd ahead was involuntarily knocked askew by the soft impact!

"It's Brother Yu!"

"Brother Yu is here!"

"Oh crap, is Brother Yu gonna punish us?"

"Did we break the sect rules?"

The players all showed awkward expressions when they saw Ye Yu.

Ye Yu ignored these sand sculpture players and fixed his gaze on the guy with the ID Ma Jiaoteng.

Right now, Ma Jiaoteng was beaten black and blue by the players, a total mess.

But he still wore an expression that screamed, "I look down on you all."

Seeing this, Ye Yu suddenly felt like laughing for no reason.

Ma Jiaoteng, look at you now!
