Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 904 The Gate Master's Resolute Action
"I have found a new path of cultivation!"

The Lord of the Gate suddenly invited the fallen gods, as well as some top demigods.

With the help of the supreme artifact, the Gate of Myriad Realms, this matter is not difficult, not to mention the power of the supreme god.

This is all while everyone is on the same starting line. In the past, a single word from the sect leader would have been enough to easily host a banquet for all the gods.

Upon receiving the invitation from the Lord of the Gate, everyone gradually arrived at Tianshan Mountain in the central region of the main continent. It is not only the central location of the entire main world, but also the highest mountain peak, which can be said to be the closest place to the God Realm.

In the past, due to the majesty of the gods, beings below the level of true gods were strictly forbidden from approaching this place.

Now that everyone has fallen to the level of demigods, this condition naturally no longer exists.

"The Supreme God said he has found a new path of cultivation? Is that true?"

"Is there truly a new path?"

"If that really exists, then what should our current professional path be?"

Although they had received information from the sect leader, the group couldn't help but discuss it, each with their own concerns.

If a career path cultivated over a lifetime were to be severed, the blow would indeed be enormous.

Without knowing who the demigods are, one doesn't know whether to look forward to this new path or not.
"Has the way of the profession truly been severed? Or is it just temporary, and what if the world recovers on its own after a while?"

Some demigods whispered among themselves, clearly still wanting to continue struggling.

"It is also possible that, according to some speculations, the professional path was not the mainstream at the beginning, and it also went through a long period of development."

Every path of cultivation involves a two-way choice between people and the world.

Abandoning the existing path and choosing a new one is indeed very risky.

Since demigods don't have a lifespan limit, they can continue to wait and wait for the world to change.

"The new path must be related to Lord Skyscraper!"

Mengxi and the Flower Goddess naturally came as well. Considering the previous actions of the Gate Master, they probably obtained something from Lord Motian's inheritance.

Thinking of this, Mengxi felt a little envious. As expected of the supreme god, even if they fell to the same realm, the gap between them was still huge.

Becoming a supreme god is not a matter of luck; one is a top being in the world in every aspect.

"If there really is a completely new path, Mengxi, would you take it?" the Flower Goddess asked.

The Flower Goddess was also somewhat embarrassed. She had finally become a true god, but before she could experience it for long, she was sent back. It was like a true god experience card, so she was very confused about the future.

"Maybe!"

Mengxi pondered for a moment. As a true god, she naturally had a strong understanding of her own cultivation system.

"The path of a profession has some limitations. Look at us now, because of a temporary change in the rules of heaven and earth, even the once high and mighty true gods have been knocked down from their realm in an instant."

If it was due to environmental factors that the gods were gradually driven to their deaths, forcing one's own cultivation level to regress, then so be it.

However, the mere change in the rules instantly caused them to fall from their cultivation level, making it impossible for them to even begin cultivating again. This was extremely damaging to professionals.

The former is coercion; under the power of authority, professionals have no choice. The latter is blatant deprivation; the humiliation and powerlessness are also unacceptable to professionals.

It's like the difference between someone killing you outright and someone taking everything away from you.

“If there really is a new path, perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad option,” Mengxi said softly.

The stronger an entity is in the past, the more it desires and anticipates this new path.

The other supreme gods, in particular, were becoming increasingly impatient.

There was no way they could escape the world's destruction through their professional paths. Having already reached the pinnacle of the world, they were naturally unwilling to perish.

In the past, the supreme gods had been thinking of various ways to give up the power they now possessed.

If what the Lord of the Gate said is true, then this great calamity of the gods may indeed be an opportunity for the Supreme God.

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and as the other supreme gods arrived one after another, they also appeared within the gate.

Seeing that the sect leader still only possessed the aura of a demigod, everyone was somewhat disappointed.

If the sect leader appeared at the True God realm, the balance in everyone's hearts might be severely tilted, but if he is still at the same realm as them, it means that the new path is probably still in its infancy.

The sect leader glanced at everyone's expressions and immediately understood what they were thinking, feeling disdain in his heart.

Don't they realize that if he really succeeded in paving a way for others, would he still care about them?

It is precisely because of this initial stage that we need to pool our wisdom and collective efforts to improve the system. It is in this process that these demigods have a chance.

"Master of the Gate, what exactly is this new path you speak of? Now you can tell me."

Only those beings who are also supreme gods have the confidence to ask such a question.

"It's actually very simple!"

The Lord of the Gate spoke, “The core of the path of profession is to trigger the feedback of the original rules through rituals, thereby obtaining a status in the world.”

"The new path of cultivation is to comprehend the fundamental rules and integrate the power of those rules into oneself."

"Analyze the world, reconstruct the world, and finally become the world itself," the Lord of the Gate said slowly.

He didn't intend to hide anything, after all, his purpose this time was to gather ideas from all sides and get everyone to help him figure out a new path.

The core of this path is that since the world cannot be relied upon, one can only rely on oneself.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing the sect leader's account, everyone present sighed in sympathy.

They thought it was some amazing road, but it turned out to be nothing special.

Is it that they don't want to comprehend the fundamental rules themselves? It's not that difficult.

Instead of cultivating on your own, it's better to cling to the power of the fundamental rules and improve yourself with the help of the world.

The path of cultivation that is self-centered has been mentioned before, and some people have even been thinking about it, but in the end, it has always been crushed to dust by the way of profession.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the sect leader was not surprised; in fact, he had expected it.

After all, it's really too difficult to work hard on your own. If there's an easy way, who would make things difficult for themselves? Taking control of one's own destiny sounds nice, but for the vast majority of beings, it's actually meaningless. They can gain power from the world without losing themselves, and the world's rules don't restrict them.

If a true god who walks the path of slaughter truly wanted to save people and be a good person, his divine position would not have collapsed.

The path of a profession is based on the world, and the limitations are not as great as one might imagine.

In other words, there is a difference in the difficulty of cultivation. One path that can strengthen one's connection with the world is simply an easy mode.

If the cultivation of a professional path is an easy mode, then the path of self-enlightenment spoken of by the sect leader is a nightmare mode.

If we really go down this path, the number of professionals will probably decrease exponentially, especially the true gods; a few dozen would probably be the limit.

But the number of true gods in the path of professions has already exceeded a thousand, not to mention the professionals below them.

Those who achieve success through self-realization can not only go fast but also go far by pursuing a professional path.

It's hard to say which is superior, the professional path or the path of self-realization, but in terms of accessibility and minimum requirements, the former has an unparalleled advantage.

There's no way around it; the origin of the world is feeding us on its own. It's like having a being comparable to the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos guiding you in the early stages of cultivation. Even if it's just a tiny bit, it's practically cheating.

Therefore, once the path of a profession emerged, it crushed other cultivation systems with overwhelming force.

With thousands of true gods and five supreme gods, you choose not to follow such a powerful cultivation system, but instead choose to take crooked and evil paths. So who is the one with the problem?
"I will call this path the Path of Origin!" the sect leader said to himself, paying no attention to the emotions of the crowd.

Breaking through these people's cognitive barriers and ingrained thought patterns is an incredibly difficult task, and the sect leader didn't expect it to be resolved with just a discussion.

The idea of ​​a quick victory is not advisable!

And while so many benefits of a professional career have been touted, what is the reality?

The reality is that even as the supreme god, he cannot become a true god again at this moment.

The way of the profession is indeed too comfortable, and it is almost impossible to overthrow it.

But now there is indeed an opportunity, as powerful beings from outside the realm have suppressed the world and cut off the path of the professional path.

Many powerful individuals were only knocked down from their cultivation levels, but did not die directly; their thirst for power remained.

"The reason I call this path a discovery is because I gleaned its meaning from the traces left by the Heavenly King Dao Master." The Sect Master then threw out another heavy-handed move, placing Mo Tian in the position of Heavenly King Dao Master to support him.

The moment the title of Sky King was uttered, the previously noisy scene fell silent.

Those were true kings of the heavens, beings capable of contending with the great origin of the world, transcending them by more than one dimension.

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, the sect leader nodded in satisfaction.

For a new path to defeat an old one, it needs the right environment, and right now, the environment is just right because the path of the profession has been cut off.

Secondly, it requires breaking people's past psychological perceptions, which is also very difficult. How can people accept a completely new path without any achievements?
But if it's the path that the Heavenly King walks, then the feeling is instantly different.

Even the ultimate path of a profession, when taken to its limit, leads to becoming a supreme god, but ultimately results in the Great Destruction that cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation.

However, the ultimate limit of the original Dao system is that it can be seen by the naked eye to be on par with the world, so for those who truly have aspirations, there is naturally a choice.

Seeing the crowd beginning to ponder, the sect leader didn't expect everyone to change their minds; he just wanted a portion of them to be with him.

If we can be comparable to a true god first, then we can completely turn the tide.

In the cultivation world, it is often a top-down system, where the influence of the top-level powerhouses far exceeds that of the lower-level alliances.

Then the sect leader began to share without reservation the insights he had gained from the Heavenly King Dao Master.

From perceiving the laws, to understanding the origin of heaven and earth, and finally to comprehending the fundamental rules, it is a very clear path.

If one comprehends everything on their own, they can forcibly extract the corresponding power from heaven and earth.

The path of one's profession is like a beloved child, but the path of one's origin is also a child of the world, and the world will not shut you out just because you have chosen a different path.

Of course, wanting even more preferential treatment is also unrealistic.

As I said before, as long as the world has no self-awareness, there is no such thing as defying the heavens. Feeling that something is difficult simply means that you haven't enjoyed any special privileges from the world.

"As long as one fully comprehends one branch of the fundamental rules and absorbs a sufficiently powerful source, one can be completely comparable to a true god," the sect leader said slowly.

The Path of Origin not only depends on one's own aptitude, but also on the cultivation environment. The more prosperous the cultivation environment, the more prosperous the Path of Origin can be.

Without the ability to communicate with others and a lack of sufficient references, even the most talented person can easily go astray and regret it too late.

Unlike a professional, who might wish to be the only one in the world, able to monopolize the entire world.

The sect leader hopes that more and more practitioners of the Origin Path will emerge, and that they can exchange ideas with each other so that he can find the problems within himself.

As the Lord of the Gate finished sharing his insights without reservation, the demigods present split into three groups. One group still clung to their professional path and wanted to try to continue their journey.

Some prepared to try a new path. Among the five supreme gods, three chose this path, after all, they had already reached their end in the past.

There are also centrists who think it's worth trying both paths, as they might complement each other.

After finishing his narration, the sect leader transformed his supreme divine energy into a stone tablet, inscribed with the words "Heavenly King Dao Master," and then performed the disciple's salute.

"The Heavenly King shouldn't mind that I used his name, right?" the sect leader thought to himself.

In such a public setting, there was one more thing he didn't say: it seems like they have a choice, but do they really have a choice?
The tide of time, like the torrent that destroyed the realm of gods, will mercilessly crush them; if they cannot keep up, they will only drown.

The sect leader was resolute. Once he made up his mind, he completely abandoned all other concerns, even giving up the supreme artifact he had forged in the past.

As the sect leader preached, the situation on the entire main continent changed again and again, at such a rapid pace that all the cultivators were overwhelmed.

The actions of those above will influence those below. The choices of a few top experts, even if it's just a slight inclination, will cause their subordinates to follow suit, not to mention that there are a bunch of former true gods and supreme gods among them.

Even if only a small fraction of professionals choose the Origin Path, it is still an astronomical number. With the support of a massive number of cultivators, the Origin Path is developing very rapidly.

The Lord of the Gate at the top, after acquiring knowledge of all aspects of technology, finally perfected his own Dao and comprehended the lineage of the Dao of the Origin of Void.

Just after the sect leader successfully advanced using the Origin Dao, a subtle, imperceptible change occurred in the Origin Rules, unseen by the public.

"Got you!"

Lu Yunhe, who was searching all over the world, suddenly sensed a fluctuation, his eyes lit up, and he quickly flew towards his target.
