Holy Spirit Ancestor

Chapter 8 Holy Spirit Ancestor

After quickly considering these thoughts, Gu Changqing did not keep the gods waiting for long.

Looking at them earnestly, he said, "Just now, I handed over the sovereignty to my brother, the Holy Spirit Ancestor!"

"The Holy Spirit Ancestor? Where is he?"

"Yes, why didn't he come for such an important matter?"

"Sigh, I wonder how powerful the Holy Spirit Ancestor is, and whether he can suppress the other Great Daos of the Primordial World!"

"Yes, who knows what the future holds for us, these innate deities?"

……

"Alright, I'll be leaving now. The Holy Spirit Ancestor will descend soon, so you can wait if you can." Gu Changqing shouted loudly at the chaotic gods.

After the gods quieted down, he said to his three new brothers, "I'll be leaving now. If you need anything later, just tell the Holy Spirit Ancestor. He knows where I am."

The three of them couldn't help but admire Gu Changqing's nonchalant attitude in handing over such important power to others so easily.

However, since he had already made his decision, there was nothing they could say.

With that, Gu Changqing disappeared from the Temple of Gods in full view of everyone.

Moreover, before he left, he severed the connection between his divine destiny and the Temple of Gods.

So after he left.

What the Celestial Ancestor and Ye Wenhua saw was...

The divine throne belonging to Gu Changqing shattered right before their eyes and then disappeared.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Ancestor's divine throne was directly elevated to the first position, replacing Gu Changqing's previous position.

"He really abandoned everything about Shinto!?"

Everyone was astonished by what they saw.

At this moment, the Celestial Ancestor and the others suddenly understood.

Could it be that Yuan Yi is trying to follow the path of the immortal Hongjun?

……

Upon returning to the Yuan Yi Realm, Gu Changqing felt that his innate divine aura and divine fortune had disappeared—or rather, they had returned to the Temple of Gods and the Tablet of Destiny in his hands.

At this point, Gu Changqing no longer possessed the strength of a peak Great Luo Saint.

At this point, he called the path to enlightenment he was taking: the Way of the World.

Its inherent realm was revealed through his extraordinary insight and deduction.

From lowest to highest:

Lord of Planes (Golden Immortal), Lord of Worlds (Taiyi), Lord of Universes (Daluo), Lord of Multiverses (Hunyuan Golden Immortal), Lord of Infinite Universes (Hunyuan Daluo), Lord of Chaos (Dadao), Transcendence!

Because this path is destined to have no successors, and Gu Changqing is the first and the last to walk this path and prove his path.

Therefore, this path to enlightenment has no mortal realm.

The starting point is at the Golden Immortal level.

Gu Changqing, who had abandoned the innate Great Luo Divine cultivation of the Divine Path, now cultivated the World Path, and his realm reached the peak of the World Lord.

And this world is the Primordial One Realm.

Although his cultivation level seems to have decreased, his understanding of the Great Dao of Laws remains, and his strength may not be lower than that of an ordinary Great Luo Saint.

Moreover, after years of seclusion to care for Yuan Yijie, Yuan Yijie has long been on the verge of advancement.

Once the Yuan Yi Realm advances to the Lesser Thousand Worlds at the cosmic level, his cultivation will naturally recover to its peak.

……

Swish!

at the same time.

Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Changqing appeared in the Temple of Gods.

They hold the power of the gods.

He coldly looked at the gods present who were questioning him, and said indifferently:

"I am the Holy Spirit Emperor, and I have already seized control of the Temple of Gods and the will of the gods!"

After speaking, the Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Changqing released the will of the gods from the Tablet of Destiny at the opportune moment.

This was to show that he had gained the approval of the gods.

Faced with this powerful and oppressive will, everyone eventually succumbed.

They all stood up to greet Gu Changqing.

"We greet His Majesty the Holy Spirit Emperor!"

The Holy Spirit King nodded, then gestured for the gods to sit down.

"I know there are many among you who are dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter."

"Before the will of the gods, I can establish the first ironclad rule of the Pantheon: if any of you present is stronger than me, or holds a higher divine throne than me, then what harm is there in me abdicating and yielding my position?"

Is that really true?

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenhua's eyes lit up.

The other gods, upon hearing this, also looked on with anticipation.

Even the innate deities belonging to the Eastern lineage are no exception.

With this ironclad rule in place, it is not impossible for them to take the path of the gods.

"certainly!"

While finding it amusing, Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Changqing couldn't help but feel sorrow for them.

In the end, they will never realize that the pinnacle of the divine path they pursue is nothing more than working for the representatives of the divine path.

Anyone who embarks on a path of enlightenment based on the divine way is merely adding a new conceptual path to the divine way.

The Holy Spirit Emperor, on the other hand, uses the concept of God as his sole basis for proving his doctrine.

He is the Shinto, and he is the Shinto.

As for the position of the divine throne...

Gu Changqing, the Holy Spirit Emperor who possesses the essence of the Temple of Gods, the most precious treasure of the divine path, has a higher rank than anyone else on the throne within the Temple of Gods.

"Now that I've finished explaining the first ironclad rule, let me talk about the current situation in the primordial world, which most of you may not be very clear about yet."

As he spoke, the Holy Spirit Emperor turned his gaze to the group of people at the very bottom of the throne.

He even saw some people among the innate Great Luo Saints making puzzled gestures.

This left Gu Changqing speechless.

It turns out that a significant portion of them were still unaware of the situation in the prehistoric world.

No wonder.

No wonder the primordial world he knew in his previous life, the path of gods, had only stirred up a ripple.

Not only were they a disorganized bunch, but they also showed absolutely no concern for the overall situation of the primordial world.

When the Immortal Path fully rose to prominence under Hongjun's rule, and there were hardly any Divine Path cultivators left in the prehistoric world, it was suddenly realized that the Divine Path had ultimately lost its momentum.

Before Hongjun became a saint, most of the innate saints in the prehistoric world either sacrificed themselves or turned to cultivating immortality.

Even if they were born in the fourth batch of innate deities, they were ultimately born in the era most unfriendly to the divine path—the era of immortals.

Even the top-tier innate deities have gone to the Purple Cloud Palace of the Immortal Path to listen to the Dao, so how can the lower-level innate deities choose?

In the end, he had no choice but to follow the trend and turn to the path of immortality.

It's no wonder that after the Heavenly Court was established, the divine path became subordinate to the immortal path.

Thinking of this, Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Changqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The path of the gods is truly... a long and arduous one!

Gu Changqing continued.

"The current situation in the primordial world is already quite clear in the eyes of the top-level divine beings."

There are innate deities like us, born in accordance with the laws and great Dao, as well as the Immortal Dao created by Hongjun Daoist, who was previously a top-tier innate great supernatural being, the Demonic Dao created by Luo Hou, the Bloodline and Fortune Dao created by the three races, and the Chaos Demon God Dao created by Ancestor Yangmei after returning to himself, etc.

Although we, the innate gods, are currently the strongest in the primordial world, let us not forget that...

As the number of post-natal beings and new races born from various clans in the primordial world increases, can the innate divine path still withstand the counterattack from the immortal and demonic paths?

At this point, Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Changqing's expression turned serious.

"As more and more innate deities are sacrificed, when no new innate deities are born in the primordial world, that will surely be the end of our innate divine path."

"Your Majesty, this situation shouldn't happen, right? After all, isn't it normal for newborn innate saints to be born in the primordial world? Why wouldn't they be born again?" Carlo asked in confusion.

"No! After several eons, the primordial world will no longer allow the birth of new innate deities."

"Why?" Ye Wenhua asked.

"Because Heaven will not allow it, and neither will the Immortal and Demonic Paths," said Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Changqing calmly.

"How is that possible? Why wouldn't Heaven allow it?" Samu asked doubtfully.

"Because...this cannot be said."

"..."
