"Could it be that the ‘Heaven’ we believe in is the same as the Heavenly Ancestor Qitian they speak of?"
Someone connected a series of information and finally came to this conclusion.
But after reaching this conclusion, they fell silent. They once thought that everything in the world was bestowed by Heaven, whether it was the creation of races or the cultivation methods.
They were grateful to Heaven and never thought of doing anything to disobey it.
Even the major sects of Lingzhou, when facing the Demon Clan, killed them in the name of 'acting on behalf of Heaven.' 'Heaven' holds a supreme position in the hearts of all beings in the desolate land.
But the 'Heaven' they had given supreme status to was actually hindering them from advancing further. This dramatic contrast made all living beings dare not believe it.
Some Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses used great divine powers to trace the source, their minds traveling back to the past along the river of time. They returned to what they recognized as the very beginning, an era where all races stood and fought, with countless living beings perishing every day, until one day, the Divine Court descended.
Bearing the will of Heaven, they divided the major races into different regions, which led to a period of relative peace.
During the peaceful period, the Divine Court sent envoys to spread the Dao throughout the world. Gradually, all races took Heaven as their only faith.
There were no changes; the past was still the past as they knew it. Where was there any severed past?
For a time, many powerhouses were slightly relieved. They believed that this was a reason fabricated by the Holy Emperor Palace to resist the Divine Court, with the aim of 'justifying their actions'!
But there were still some powerhouses whose hearts were full of doubts. Was everything they saw, heard, and felt really the truth of the world?
But those who remained skeptical were ultimately a small minority. Most living beings still firmly believed in their Heaven.
After all, if faith could be broken so easily with just a few words, then it would not be faith.
"How foolish!"
Inside the hall, Houtu felt the thoughts of the beings in the desolate land, and her face was a little unsightly.
"Don't be angry, I understand you," Gu Changsheng gently patted her back, his voice very gentle. Houtu's expression gradually calmed down after hearing this. She turned to look at Gu Changsheng, with a hint of apology on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"Why apologize? I think it's good to be like this, to be angry when you should be angry, and happy when you should be happy. If cultivation is to abandon all emotions and desires, then it's better not to cultivate!" Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"You always have the most reasons," Houtu's mood improved a lot, and she glared at him.
"Don't you see what my cultivation level is? When the cultivation level is high, everything you say is reasonable," Gu Changsheng chuckled, quite smug.
"Then tell me what your cultivation level is?" Houtu looked at Gu Changsheng playfully.
"Invincible!" Gu Changsheng responded faintly.
"..." Houtu.
"What thick skin!" Houtu couldn't help but complain.
"How could I have you three if my skin wasn't thick?" Gu Changsheng retorted, raising his eyebrows.
Houtu was dumbfounded. She had always been at a disadvantage in terms of words, whether in the past or now.
"Are you feeling better?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Houtu hummed and then said, "I was just a little disappointed just now. Now that I think about it, I feel like I'm thinking too much. The beings in the desolate land now can be said to have nothing to do with the beings of our era, but I'm still acting like a senior."
Speaking of the end, Houtu revealed a self-deprecating smile.
She is not qualified to be disappointed with the beings of the current world, after all, she is no longer the Lady Houtu she once was.
"You're right, you are thinking too much," Gu Changsheng nodded and said.
Houtu, seeing this, felt a little dissatisfied in her heart for some reason. She wanted you to comfort her, why are you agreeing with everything?
Just as Houtu was about to speak, Gu Changsheng continued, "You are originally a great senior in the desolate land, why can't you be disappointed? If it were me, I would have dragged those people out and beaten them up."
"You...even if you beat them up, if they don't know the truth, their inner faith will still not change," Houtu said with a wry smile.
"If you want them to know the truth, that's easy," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"How to do it?" Houtu was curious.
"Do you know what live broadcast is?" Gu Changsheng asked instead of answering.
It is worth mentioning that Houtu does know what live broadcast means. After all, the ancient gods not only have a highly developed cultivation civilization, but also a technological civilization that should not be underestimated. When Gu Changsheng first met Houtu, what guarded the ancient gods' inheritance secret realm was a robot, and that robot was originally at the Immortal Emperor level, but after a great turmoil, it fell to the quasi-supreme level.
Not only do the ancient gods have technological civilization, but also many worlds in the heavens have highly developed technological civilizations, but after all, the immortal civilization is still the main one, and technology is just an auxiliary.
"You want to..." Houtu asked hesitantly.
Gu Changsheng nodded and said, "In the hearts of the beings in the world, the Central Divine Court manages all things in the world by virtue of the will of Heaven and has supreme divine power. If the people of the Divine Court tell the truth, then the beings will believe it even if they don't want to."
"That makes sense, but I have another doubt," Houtu nodded and said.
"What doubt?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Houtu narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "I'm just wondering, how did you, a dignified Holy Emperor, come up with such a not-so-honorable method?"
"This is called a strategy, do you understand strategy?" Gu Changsheng said, touching his nose.
Houtu smiled even more when she saw this, and she said, "Whoever becomes your enemy, I will definitely feel sorry for him. You obviously have the strength to crush the enemy, but you still have to play tricks. Your enemy would probably be very desperate if they knew."
"Who says otherwise?" Gu Changsheng was not ashamed but proud.
After speaking, he transmitted the message to Shen Yan and the others. At this time, Shen Yan and the others had already arrived in the area where the Divine Court was located. Suddenly hearing Gu Changsheng's message, their expressions suddenly became extremely strange.
Ye Jin smacked his lips and said, "If the Heavenly Ancestor Qitian knew that there was such a powerful and invincible powerhouse dealing with him and using tricks, he would probably be desperate to commit suicide!"
"I think this move by the master is the most direct way to cut off the faith of all beings in the Heavenly Ancestor Qitian," Ling Tian said.
"Since His Majesty has ordered it, then just do as His Majesty said," Shen Yan said lightly, and then reduced his cultivation to the fifth step of Breaking Dao.
Seeing this, Ye Jin also reduced his cultivation to the fifth step of Breaking Dao.
The fifth step of Breaking Dao is neither strong nor weak compared to a half-step controller.
"Rumble!"
Shen Yan made a move and smashed the Divine Court's gate, the Heavenly Gate, with one punch, and then stepped into the Divine Court with Ye Jin and Ling Tian.
At this moment, all the beings in the desolate land looked at what was in front of them in disbelief. In front of them, a picture appeared, which was the picture of Shen Yan breaking into the Divine Court.
This picture suddenly appeared, even if they closed their eyes, it would appear in their minds.
