Power Progression

Li Yue's documented advancement through the Orthodox God system:

Nature and Doctrine

An Orthodox God derives Divine Power from believers' incense and faith. One unit of Divine Power requires 1,000 Incense Vows, making believers the foundation of a deity's existence 1.

The Divine Path is rooted in the Human Path: a deity's primary responsibility is to protect human believers, while humanity's growth stabilizes and strengthens the Divine Path Law 147. Li Yue explicitly frames this duty as protecting humanity while the Divine Path clears away its enemies 68.

By the time he began proving the Taboo Divine Rank, Li Yue had further concluded that a deity must first ensure that believers can live safely and prosperously before they can pursue spiritual fulfillment and longer life. He regarded the fulfillment of those basic needs as the foundation of genuine divine authority 1288.

Li Yue also accepted Time's description of the Human Race and Divine Path as “two sides of the same coin.” Having ascended from a human into a deity, he did not regard godhood as requiring abandonment of his human identity 279.

Orthodox Gods and Evil Gods

Evil Gods in the Divine Tower trials also sought to devour Orthodox Gods' Divine Path Laws to strengthen themselves. Their existence was described as dependent on Orthodox Gods, making the latter both enemies and valuable prey 75.

Ethical Tensions and Competing Claims

The distinction between Orthodox God and Evil God becomes more complicated in later settings. While observing the transformation of Great Zhen and its three kingdoms, Li Yue recognized that war had intensified ordinary people's faith, particularly when devout believers were spared harm. Although the souls of the dead remained undying and reincarnated within the kingdoms, he questioned whether using war to force beings into faith was still the conduct of a Heaven and Earth Orthodox God or had crossed into the path of an Evil God. He also questioned whether a race entirely free of crisis and hardship would necessarily benefit from that condition 1528.

In the Willing Blue Great World, the natives perceived Li Yue as an extraterrestrial Evil God despite his own understanding of himself as an Orthodox God who had advanced from an Orthodox Land God. The world's rules differed fundamentally from those of both the Three Thousand Dimensions and High Heaven, and even his speech could cause disturbing physical transformations 1549.

Gu Qiu, likewise called an Evil God by the natives, claimed that he and his kind were actually Orthodox Gods and that the Council of Gods were the true Evil Gods. This was Gu Qiu's assertion rather than an established judgment of the Council's nature 1550.

Divine Authority

Jurisdiction

An Orthodox God's strength is closely tied to their jurisdiction. Li Yue found that leaving it weakened him and multiplied the Divine Power cost of divine arts tenfold 4.

Within his jurisdiction, a Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God possesses baseline strength comparable to the limit of the Third Rank even without casting a divine art 18.

• A Land God's jurisdiction reveals hidden threats within its territory, such as ghosts concealed in an abandoned well 18.
• The Land God Register records every villager's life, including their deeds and misdeeds 3.
• A Land God may strike a recorded villager's name from the register, causing immediate death without consuming Divine Power 3.
• A County City God governs a far broader jurisdiction, including civil affairs, military affairs, punishment, prisons, fortune, and local divine offices 156.
• A deity can fully exert their power only within Divine Path soil that they personally opened and governs; entering another deity's jurisdiction does not restore strength lost outside their own territory 208.
• At the Taboo Divine Rank, Li Yue used World Divine Power to transform both his Divine Domain and jurisdiction, allowing his Divine Path laws to suppress other Great Daos within the affected region 1288.
• Orthodox Land Gods possess innate, distinctive control over the earth. Temple Keepers inherit related abilities from their deity 405.
• Zhou Zijian maintained a Divine Path environment around himself outside his jurisdiction by containing his half-destroyed Divine Domain within his divine body. This was a desperate workaround requiring all his believers to have died before he could half-destroy the domain 208.
• Li Yue's control of twenty percent of the Three Thousand Dimensions' authority eventually allowed him to perceive concealed beings, including a hidden Transcender in the Endless Darkness 1562.

Faith, Grace, and Protection

Orthodox Gods cultivate faith through both protection and reward. Li Yue describes this balance as “Divine Grace is like the sea; Divine Might is like a prison” 57.

• Believers may receive protection from demons and evil specters through worship 74 114.
• Sincere believers can receive Divine Grace, including Disease Removal or Blessing Talismans that elevate mortals into martial artists 16.
• Divine manifestations, especially the destruction of powerful demons, substantially deepen believers' faith 15 30.
• Grand Sacrifices allow believers to present offerings to their god 6.
• Li Yue uses divine judgment against crimes concealed from mortal authorities, maintaining awe as a deterrent while rewarding faithful service with Divine Grace 145.
• The Divine Path's later expansion remained tied to material protection: Li Yue considered the safety and prosperity of believers to precede their spiritual and longevity-related aspirations 1288.
• Li Yue initially reserved blessings for Grade B Believers and above, granting disease removal to older followers and Blessing Talismans to younger adults. He deliberately bestowed them intermittently rather than continuously 16.
• Strengthening believers also improves their ability to survive dangers and acquire higher-grade offerings 3.
• Grand Sacrifice offerings cannot be tainted by the deity's direct karma. Items independently obtained by an ordained Temple Keeper remain eligible, whereas treasures directly granted by Li Yue cannot simply be offered back at the sacrifice 6 37 405.
• At Chaos Great Emperor-level strength, Li Yue gained the ability to refine First- through Eighteenth-Order Blessing Talismans. An Eighteenth-Order talisman could raise a Saint directly to the Great Saint Realm 650.
• The Incense Uniqueness Art makes the cultivation strength of believers directly relevant to Li Yue's enhanced combat power. Followers who fail to keep pace with his advancement reduce the art's effectiveness 449 555.

Temple Keepers and Divine Descent

A Temple Keeper acts in the mortal world on an Orthodox God's behalf. Li Yue selected Li Youming through Dream Projection Art and formally conferred the office upon him 4 5.

• Temple Keepers may receive rejuvenation and physical enhancement upon appointment 5.
• Through Deity Invocation Art, an Orthodox God can act through a Temple Keeper beyond the normal limits of the jurisdiction 12 14.
• Divine arts cast through a Temple Keeper possess one-third of their usual power while consuming the same amount of Divine Power, making divine descent costly but effective outside the jurisdiction 12.
• Li Yue's descent through Li Youming created a golden facial manifestation and allowed him to kill the Wolf Demon with heavenly thunder 15.
• The same method annihilated the fourth-rank peak Evil Specter Manor and its master, Yuanwai Lang 61.
• Li Yue recognized Jiu Shaoge as the Eight Desolations Human Race's Temple Keeper and judged that she could rapidly master Deity Invocation Art as a vessel for his descent 246.
• His first Divine Path Heavenly Realm quest in the Willing Blue Great World required him to take Luo Fuya as his Temple Keeper. She initially resisted abandoning the Lord of Dawn, and her appointment was not completed in the documented encounter 1550.

Enfeoffment

Orthodox Gods can confer subordinate divine positions upon worthy followers.

• Wei Xiangyang accepted Li Yue's offer to become a Subordinate God after his remnant soul was recovered 68.
• Deng Jiu'e, Zhang Ronggui, Li Xiuqi, and Zhang Qi'an were enfeoffed as Land Gods during a ceremony attended by more than one hundred thousand believers 123 124.
• Merit of Humanity can reduce the Divine Law Fragments required for canonization 68.
• A Subordinate God gains divine power, a greatly extended lifespan, and the ability to rise further through Divine Power 33 263.
• Li Yue later elevated 120 gods to their highest available divine ranks and assigned them distinct positions in his expanding divine hierarchy 193.
• Zhou Zijian became Li Yue's first Blue Star Subordinate God and was appointed Vice-Chief of the Rapid Retribution Department 218.
• Qian Xi, an Old God of the previous era, was accepted as a Subordinate God and placed in charge of the Artifact Refining Department 239.
• Yan Qing accepted appointment as Mountain God of Setting Sun Mountain, attaining Principal Seventh Rank while retaining Ninth-Order peak combat strength. Mountain deities could merge their bodies with Spirit Mountains after more than a century of authority, greatly enhancing their might 263.
• Ji Sishui refused Li Yue's offer despite possessing exceptional Humanity Merit, choosing the restoration of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty over subordinate godhood. Li Yue accepted the refusal without coercion and stated that the opportunity would not be repeated 263.
• The Conferment of Gods Golden List later allowed Li Yue to write Subordinate Gods' names upon it and confer enhanced titles. At its initial documented stage, the highest rank he could confer was one level above his own Dao 996.

Divine Domain, Divine Power, and Divine Armies

Higher Divine Ranks introduce additional structures that support an Orthodox God's cultivation, survival, and military authority.

• At Principal Seventh Rank, Li Yue opened his first Deity Pool. Each pool held one hundred million strands of Divine Power, and advancement to Subordinate Sixth Rank required three full pools. His pool could also refine approximately ten thousand strands of Divine Power per day from substances drawn from the void 200.
• At that rank, his Divine Domain became his true body, enabling him to revive inside it if his external divine body was destroyed. This resilience did not make higher deities impossible to kill 200.
• Principal Sixth Rank introduced the Divine Weapon Pool, which nurtures Divine Soldiers using Divine Power. These soldiers stabilize the Divine Domain as well as serving as battlefield forces 295.
• Li Yue's special Divine Path rules amplified his first Star-Cosmos Level soldier, Zhao Zi'an, one hundredfold into a Universe-Sea Level Divine Soldier 295.
• Li Yue later commanded seventeen Fourteenth-Order-limit Divine Soldiers. Together with him, their combined strength could unleash Fifteenth-Order Reflection Realm power 349.
• Immortal Dao Tower enhancements increased the soldiers' quality by one level and their available quantity tenfold. Combined with Hundredfold Amplification, these benefits allowed Li Yue to nurture Sacred Level soldiers with Great Saint-level growth potential 449.
• The Divine Weapon Pool subsequently produced a Peerless-level soldier who was amplified into an Undying-level soldier at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven Realm 531.
• The Primordial Ancient God Altar transforms deities or believers into Primordial Divine Guards at the cost of Divine Power. Initially, these guards possessed Beginningless Immortal King-level strength and could grow to peak Selfless Immortal King level; one hundred peak guards could support the creation of a Heavenly Venerable-level guard 995.
• Treasure-Dividing Cliff manufactures Deity Artifacts from Divine Power without requiring material inputs for its automatic production function 996.
• Combining the Conferment of Gods Golden List with Treasure-Dividing Cliff enabled Li Yue to assemble a God Conferment Tower force of 111 million peak Selfless Immortal Kings for an expedition into the Shattered Divine Realm 1167.
• The Primordial Ancient God Altar, Conferment of Gods Golden List, and Treasure-Dividing Cliff later reached Taboo grade, greatly expanding his ability to create and strengthen believers and subordinate deities, including Dao-Treading Grade deities when sufficient Divine Power was available 1196.

God War and Divine Court Leadership

God War makes the strength of an Orthodox God's believers and subordinate forces a direct factor in the deity's survival 9.

Li Yue regarded this system as both a potentially fatal gamble and a means of obtaining the believers and resources needed for rapid advancement. His God War interface later activated and announced a matched opponent, confirming that the early threat had become an immediate event 9 349.

As Lord of the Eternal Divine Court, Li Yue chose the Eternal Buff because he considered Divine Rank the most fundamental source of strength. Each month, ordinary deities gained one two-hundredth of the Divine Power needed for advancement, high-ranking deities gained one percent, and the court's lord gained three percent 471.

His leadership also carried responsibility for other deities' survival. More than 113 million Eternal Divine Court deities died within a year through conflicts with previous-era gods and the destruction of Divine Domains by hostile Peak Clans, demonstrating that membership in his court did not eliminate the dangers facing the Divine Path 477.

Life, Death, and Divine Path Origin

Li Yue's later advancement revealed that the Divine Path has a profound connection to life, death, and Yin-Yang.

• Orthodox Land God and Orthodox City God seats are both closely connected to the Underworld 118.
• In this world's pantheon, Land Gods occupy the lowest tier and City Gods the middle tier. Neither office is divided into Yin Spirits and Yang Spirits in the manner Li Yue associated with myths from his previous life 156.
• To attain the super-grade Taboo Divine Rank, Li Yue strengthened the ten life-and-death stars within his Divine Domain with forty-nine rays each of Extinction Light and Ultimate Life Light 1443.
• During that advancement, he sensed an unknown force at the stars' core that surpassed both the Life Origin Great Dao and the Death Origin Great Dao 1443.
• Li Yue speculated that the Divine Path may originate from a level beyond the Origin Great Daos and could be connected to Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi, the Fourth Transcendence Realm, or a realm beyond Transcendence 1443.
• Unawakened, a remnant thought claiming to be one of the three Ancient Gods of the Divine Path, stated that the Divine Path Origin Sea is High Heaven's source of the Divine Path and can be reached through a mysterious stone grotto 1510.
• According to Unawakened, only Transcendence-level beings can safely enter the Divine Path Origin Sea; those below that level risk assimilation 1510.
• Li Yue assessed Unawakened's claims as approximately sixty to seventy percent trustworthy, noting that the remnant's Divine Path aura resembled that of the Ancient God associated with Ancient God Land 1510.
• At Dao-Wielding Divine Rank, advancement requires sufficient Divine Path rule power to fill both the Divine Domain and divine body. Many deities of that rank remain stalled because the Three Thousand Dimensions contain insufficiently dense rule power for rapid accumulation 1510.

Orthodox God Heavenly Eye

The Orthodox God Heavenly Eye is a high-rank divine art that manifests as a third eye on Li Yue's forehead.

• It perceives the flow of laws and exposes otherwise hidden phenomena 112.
• It can see through terrain and detect dangers that ordinary perception cannot reach 112.
• Once permanently solidified, it effortlessly slew creatures up to peak Eleventh Order during the Thirty-Three Layered Xuanhuang Treasure Tower trials 248.
• The technique carries risk when observing deeply threatening existences, such as the dead Black Sun 112 238.
• Its initial Principal Eighth Rank form cost 1,500 units of Divine Power to cast 109 112.
• It revealed Tang Village's severely damaged ancestral Deity Artifact, which ordinary vision would not have identified 163.
• After Li Yue advanced to Subordinate Sixth Rank, it evolved into the City God Divine Eye 260.

Manifestation

Orthodox divine manifestations are generally presented as overwhelming and impersonal rather than fully corporeal.

• Lord Zhangyue commonly manifests as a vast golden face with blurred features and clear, indifferent eyes 15 61.
• His descending Divine Might immobilizes demons and suppresses their demonic energy before a direct attack is made 30 35.
• His projected voice can be heard across an entire jurisdiction, calling on humans to worship and promising protection 114.
• As Four Seas City God, Li Yue manifested as a towering blurred figure amid golden clouds before annihilating demons and evil specters across twenty counties 166.
• While proving the Taboo Divine Rank, Li Yue's Dao manifested as a supreme blazing-sun and Heavenly Emperor-like phenomenon that suppressed the Great Daos throughout the Dimension of Myriad Daos 1288.
• His advancement to the super-grade Taboo Divine Rank produced a Divine Path radiance that overwhelmed every Origin Great Dao across the Three Thousand Dimensions 1443.
• After his Subordinate Sixth Rank advancement, City God Manifestation evolved into the Second Divine Body, which could store Divine Power and required ten million strands to manifest 260.
• In the Willing Blue Great World, observers perceived Li Yue's otherwise human appearance as monstrous. Gu Qiu described him as covered in tentacles, possessing eight heads and 3,600 eyeballs, while Li Yue himself saw snow-white robes and flowing black hair 1550.
• The same world's inhabitants could be physically altered by encountering him: his speech caused Golden-Armored Humans to grow third eyes, and knowledge conveyed through his perception caused Gu Qiu to twist into a monstrous form 1549 1550.

Key Figures

• Li Yue / Lord Zhangyue — The central documented Orthodox God; began as a Wild God, became an Orthodox Land God, then expanded into a County City God and later the Eternal God Lord before reaching the Dao-Wielding Divine Rank.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Establishment in Four Seas Village

Li Yue became a Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God after selling an amplified offering for Divine Power 2. He established Li Youming as Temple Keeper, whose public conferment and rejuvenation transformed the villagers' skepticism into devotion 4 5.

Protector Against Demons and Specters

Li Yue's divine descent killed the Wolf Demon of Thousand Wolf Mountain, prompting nearby villages to seek the protection of Four Seas Village's Orthodox God 15 17. He later killed the Bear Demon and Dog Demon with a single gaze, while accepting the innocent Giant Horse Demon as a subordinate 30.

His authority extended to the destruction of evil specters, including the complete eradication of Evil Specter Manor 61.

Return of the Orthodox Gods

During the Divine Path Grand Assembly, Li Yue intervened against the evil god Monaye in a world where humanity believed Orthodox Gods had perished 73 74. By declaring that “the Orthodox Gods have returned,” he distinguished his protection-based Divine Path from the blood-fueled power of evil gods and gained an entire village of believers 74.

The rescued Yellow Sand Village inhabitants later recognized that Li Yue had brought them out of the desert into fertile land and protected them from hostile thunder. Their improved safety and living conditions further deepened their devotion 79.

In the following Survival in Adversity trial, more than fifty Evil Gods sought to devour his Divine Path Law. Li Yue instead treated their attack as an opportunity to test his Subordinate Eighth Rank Wind and Rain Summoning technique 75.

City God and Divine Court

After Four Seas Town became Four Seas County, Li Yue gained the foundation to rise from Land God to County City God 147. As Four Seas City God, he annihilated demons and evil specters throughout twenty counties, giving desperate humans renewed hope 166.

His later authority expanded into the Eternal Divine Court, where other deities recognized him as the Eternal God Lord 418 463.

He formally assumed the Eternal Throne before nearly ten billion deities and declared himself Lord of the Eternal Divine Court. The court's nine treasures acknowledged him, and he selected the Eternal Buff to secure cumulative Divine Rank advancement for its members 471.

Li Yue's protective role also extended to confronting religious exploitation. At Buddha Light Mountain, he appeared in a City God Manifestation atop the Heavenly Monarch Cauldron and exposed the supposed Buddha Land as a deception through which Evil Specters and demons consumed selected human worshippers 211.

Ascendance Beyond the Divine Order

Li Yue advanced through the upper Divine Orders by using the resources of increasingly vast Grand Sacrifices, the Divine Path Fruit obtained from a Twilight Ancient God, and the accumulated strength of the Eternal Divine Court 510 702 714. At the Eight Rites God Emperor Divine Rank, his combat power reached the Fifth Heaven Realm of Heavenly Venerable 957.

After centuries of cultivation, he proved the Taboo Divine Rank, with his Divine Path laws suppressing the Great Daos of the Dimension of Myriad Daos 1288. He subsequently entered the Land of Extinction to gather the Extinction Lights needed for a further breakthrough and consolidated scattered Divine Path factions within the Divine Path Dimension under the Hall of All Gods 1410.

Between these stages, he advanced from Intermediate to High-grade Taboo Divine Rank. Although he possessed Super World Origin Power capable of greatly improving his Dao cultivation or killing beings below Transcendence-grade, he preserved it as a life-saving trump card and relied on Divine Rank advancement for sustained growth 1355 1361.

Super-grade Taboo Advancement

Li Yue advanced the ten life-and-death stars of his Divine Domain with Extinction Light and Ultimate Life Light, completing three years of cultivation to attain the super-grade Taboo Divine Rank 1443. The breakthrough elevated his base strength to the Invincible Dimension-level and made him a greater target for external factions and the Demonstar Pavilion Transcender 1443.

Ancient God Legacy and Divine Path Origin

In Ancient God Land, Li Yue discovered that the continent was the corpse of an unimaginably powerful Ancient God. He entered its Fire Vein in pursuit of Ancient Godlight while uncovering a conspiracy involving the five great clans exploiting the corpse's power 1486.

Guided by Jin Yi, Li Yue began comprehending the Heavenly Gold Technique, the fifth of the Ancient God's supreme secret arts, and accepted the possibility that he might inherit and restore the Ancient God's Divine Path legacy 1494. Later, Unawakened's remnant revealed the existence of the Divine Path Origin Sea and warned that Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi's Fourth Transcendence Realm inheritance may have been intended to find a replacement captive for that sea 1510.

Before entering Ancient God Land, Li Yue had identified forty-nine strands of Ancient Godlight as the final obstacle to attaining Dao-Wielding Divine Rank. He also strengthened his believers, court, and allies with the Profound Mirror Land's accumulated resources in preparation for an invasion 1485.

He completed the Heavenly Gold Technique in two months, bringing the Golden Crow, Qilin, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger formed from the five Ancient God arts to Half-step Transcendence-grade. Their combined power merged into his five viscera and produced a mysterious energy that could empower an Ultimate Thirteen Dao Swords strike to true Transcendence-grade might 1495.

At the stone grotto, Li Yue refused to take an incomprehensible silver foil sheet associated with Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi, suspecting that such a relic could conceal manipulation. He instead cultivated in the dense Divine Path power outside the grotto and cautiously evaluated Unawakened's revelations rather than accepting them as certain truth 1510.

War, Faith, and the Limits of Orthodoxy

While examining Great Zhen's transformed jurisdiction, Li Yue confronted the ethical implications of faith strengthened through conflict. War increased devotion because believers witnessed the protection granted to the pious, but he questioned whether deliberately using such suffering to compel worship remained compatible with his Orthodox God identity. His reflection left the issue unresolved, balancing concern over coercion against his belief that crisis and hardship might also shape a race's development 1528.

The Willing Blue Great World

Within the hell-difficulty Divine Path Heavenly Realm, Li Yue entered a world whose fundamentally different rules made his presence appear corruptive. Golden-Armored Humans fled from him as an extraterrestrial Evil God after his words caused them to grow third eyes, despite his continued identification as an Orthodox God 1549.

His first quest ordered him to slay every god worshipped by the nations and every multiverse Evil God, establish recognition of the Divine Path Rule in the Willing Blue Great World, and take Luo Fuya as his Temple Keeper. Li Yue recognized the mission's resemblance to a villain's destruction of the gods but decided to follow its progression cautiously 1550.

Luo Fuya repeatedly prayed for the Lord of Dawn to descend, but received no answer. Gu Qiu then appeared, claimed to be an Orthodox God rather than an Evil God, and mocked Li Yue's monstrous appearance. Li Yue overpowered and examined him; the knowledge conveyed through his perception transformed Gu Qiu into a monster, which Li Yue destroyed. He subsequently renewed his request that Luo Fuya worship him, without yet securing her conversion 1550.

Personal Transcendence-grade Strength

After reaching the eighth layer of Hai Wudao, Li Yue's life essence increased ninefold. Activating ten-thousand-fold combat power then granted him genuine Transcendence-grade strength through his own cultivation rather than reliance on a treasure, though maintaining it consumed enormous World Divine Power 1562.

He also learned that his three transcendent god-devils—Yao Qian, Daojing, and Tianyuan—could not enter the Second Transcendence Realm because their Super Heaven lacked sufficient source. Despite their extraordinary source dao power, further advancement required higher-heaven resources that remained beyond his immediate reach 1562.

Using his authority over twenty percent of the Three Thousand Dimensions, Li Yue located a concealed Transcender in the Endless Darkness and confronted him in a lifeless hidden world. The injured, coffin-dwelling old man refused submission, claimed that he could still wield fifty units of source dao power, and ordered Li Yue to leave 1562.
