The Divine Path Style can be taken away!
This is information known to very few people, but the conditions are very strict. When it was opened up, there was only one successful case.
The condition is that half of all faiths are taken away by the other side!
These conditions are extremely harsh. The so-called "half" refers to half of the entire country, meaning that more than half of the faith of the entire power belongs to outsiders. Only then can the other party compete for the position of the leader of the Divine Path Style!
This situation is practically impossible for outsiders. Just think about it and you'll understand. The faith of Divine Path Style comes from the people, the army, and high-ranking gods. The people make up half, the high-quality army makes up another quarter, and the high-ranking gods control a large amount of faith, also accounting for a quarter. To get more than half, either all the people must acknowledge that you are better than the original god, or all the high-ranking officials and the army must choose you.
Such a betrayal would be highly unlikely in ancient history.
However, there was indeed one successful instance in the game.
Even Chen Qing was amazed by the other party's technique at the time, and posted the whole process on the official website, hoping that more players would unlock more interesting gameplay.
After that player quickly became famous, there was no follow-up news. Instead of choosing to increase income and fame through live streaming or other projects, he quietly quit the game. At the time, Chen Qing guessed that he might be a rich second-generation who didn't want too much attention. He remembered feeling guilty for a while for exposing the other person's account without their consent.
Does that person really seem like just an ordinary rich kid?
Chen Qing, accompanied by Wei Gongcheng, hurriedly arrived at the shaman's place to examine his injuries.
This might be the only clue.
The witch doctor's body was covered in sores and looked horribly injured, but Chen Qing could see that they were just ordinary burns. External injuries are not difficult to treat. With a wave of his hand, a stream of crystal-clear water enveloped the witch doctor. The unique healing method of the West Sea Sorceress covered the festering body, and the witch doctor, who had been groaning in pain, instantly began to groan in comfort.
The Horde had never seen such a divine skill before, and they all knelt down in worship.
Chen Qing frowned as he looked at the recovered witch doctor. Although his expression had naturally relaxed, his eyes were blank, especially his spirit body, which hovered outside his body, completely unaware that he was dead.
"What's his name?" Chen Qing asked.
"The shaman's name is Kasaer, which is the name of some precious herb in our area," the chieftain quickly replied.
Chen Qing nodded and called out its name. As Chen Qing called out, the shaman's dazed spirit clearly stirred, but still appeared very stiff.
Chen Qing frowned. The master of the Divine Path Style could summon the spirit of the other party like the master of the Underworld, bringing them back to their senses. This spirit had clearly been split, and an important part of it had been taken away.
However, since this Underworld was sealed away, the whereabouts of the split part of the spirit cannot be found without the Underworld's records.
In other words, if the seal isn't broken, I won't have any clues at all right now?
"My lord?" Wei Gongcheng from the side, "Should I try to force it?"
"No need," Chen Qing shook her head.
The sealed Underworld doesn't mean it's inaccessible. There are two ways to enter the Underworld: the first is to directly take over the duties of that Underworld, and the second is to have Wei Gongcheng take over. Once he takes over, as the Earth Yin ruler, he can be forcibly teleported into the Underworld.
However, doing so is obviously very risky, and there may be an ambush. Wei Gongcheng a heavy responsibility. If he is transferred here now, the position of the Underworld in Liuzhou will be vacant. Liuzhou is the center of Jiangnan, with the highest quality and the most concentrated faith. If that position is suddenly without the Lord of the Underworld, and Chen Qing is currently far overseas, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen.
If I go in myself and get trapped, I won't be able to participate in what happens outside.
Sensing Chen Qing's hesitation, Wei Gongcheng said, "How about temporarily appointing Seventh Master Shen to take my place?"
Chen Qing shook his head. The imperial decree had to be conferred in person. He didn't have a clone left in Liuzhou, and there was no temple here, so he couldn't teleport back. Even if he used spatial magic, it would take at least three days to go back by boat. By then, the opportunity would be too late.
But taking the risk now could very well be part of their scheme. What should I do?
Completely lacking information, Chen Qing hesitated.
Seeing that Chen Qing remained silent, Wei Gongcheng did not urge him but waited for Chen Qing's decision. Having spent so many years with Chen Qing, he knew very well that the other party was not an indecisive person. His decisiveness and resourcefulness in handling affairs were even better than those of the old patriarch Yuchi. Whatever decision Chen Qing made, he would support him.
" Gongcheng, during the time you were here, did the Shen Family stay in Liuzhou the whole time?"
Wei Gongcheng was taken aback, then immediately became serious. "Does the Lord suspect that the Shen Family has a problem?"
"I have some doubts." Chen Qing frankly stated his opinion. This candor actually made Wei Gongcheng's eyes relax, clearly indicating that Chen Qing trusted him quite a bit to say this.
Chen Qing also had his own concerns. The Shen Family had been cooperating with him for so long, so there was no need for them to rebel. He had given the Shen Family a lot of value over the years, and he had promised that the Shen Family in the six regions of Jiangnan could continue to control the Samsara Underworld. This was already a huge concession.
Above that are their assigned seats; do they even have the ability to do that?
It wasn't that Chen Qing was overly suspicious, but that if someone wanted to seize power, only an insider could do so. Back then, that guy had also won over several high-ranking officials and carried out an internal power grab—it was a brilliant political battle. And it would be the same now. Outsiders, without a reputation or a strong foundation, could not possibly seize power.
The Shen Family is undoubtedly the prime suspect.
They control the Earth Yin and have a very deep popular faith. The people respect the Lord of the Divine Path, but apart from Liuzhou, the people in other places only have a vague concept of him. Compared to the Earth Yin, this kind of god who can actually hold the power of life and death is obviously closer to life. Therefore, the Lord of the Underworld himself has a considerable degree of faith.
The only obstacle is the army. For the Shen Family, as long as they deal with the army and spread rumors that they have been killed, and with Wei Gongcheng, the largest Underworld family, also absent, they have a chance to seize power.
"After you went to Cloud Capital, because of what happened in South Sea City, I took the initiative to invite the Shen Family over for a meeting. After all, it was a major event that affected the entire force. With Lord Ziyue and you not here, we could only discuss and act together."
Chen Qing nodded. This approach was correct, but could it be a coincidence?
"They never went back?"
"Before you returned, they had all been staying in Liuzhou. After all, Liuzhou was already under lockdown at the time, and those Ancient Demon were waiting for you to return and take charge of rescuing Ao Zhen after their retreat. They were all staying in Liuzhou."
The reasons are valid.
Chen Qing immediately felt a headache coming on. At this time, it was the worst thing to doubt those inside. Unfounded suspicion would only cause infighting. However, he didn't believe that there was absolutely nothing going on.
what to do?--
East Sea
"The army from Jiangnan has been mobilized," Liu Yu reported calmly to the newly returned King of Qin. " The West Sea Army and part of the Fighter Army have headed towards the South Sea."
"Hmm," King of Qin nodded. Just as the head guard had predicted, Ziyue and the Third Elder had a deep-seated hatred for each other, and it was highly unlikely that she would be friendly.
But precisely because of this, they fell into a trap.
"What do you think Chen Qing will choose?" King of Qin asked Liu Yu.
" Chen Qing?" Liu Yu fell into deep thought. Of all the people, Chen Qing was the one he couldn't understand the most. But if it were him, to be honest, he would almost certainly lose if he were in Chen Qing's current situation!
