In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 575 [The Flawless Quasi-Emperor Sweeps Across the Divine Realm]

There are four divine monkeys in the world, all of whom possess the strongest bloodline and can rival the most amazing geniuses. The Holy Prince is one of them, and the Six-Eared Macaque is another. They are good at listening, can understand reason, know the past and the future, understand all things, and have unfathomable abilities.

With a twitch of its six ears, it heard all sorts of great secrets and knew that a great calamity was coming. The Six-Eared Macaque decisively plucked a hair and transformed it into the image of Vaishravana, the Heavenly King, to take the calamity in its place, while the real king had already jumped out of the net.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, sat like deities in the sky, their eyes gleaming with divine light. The void was like a mirror, reflecting the six-eared macaque's traces, yet they were in no hurry to pursue him.

The path to supreme power is a process of substituting one's own heart for the heart of heaven. Quasi-emperors are also emperors, and they have begun to gradually merge with the Dao. With a thought, the origin follows. Great emperors are even more like realm lords, and can be considered the number one in the universe of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Except for the inability to live forever, they are almost omnipotent.

No matter how powerful you are, you can't defy fate. You can only escape for a while in this universe, not forever.

The new god Qingyutian, blessed by faith, possessed quasi-emperor level divine powers. He sensed this change but had no time to spare, as he had to confront a formidable enemy. Compared to a fleeing traitor, two quasi-emperors were coming with overwhelming force.

"The extraterrestrial demons have invaded my divine realm. Why don't you surrender?"

Qingyu Tian is majestic and imposing, bathed in divine light. He is protected by the gods, sung by all saints, and blessed by the power of faith. The sun, moon, and stars all revolve around him.

If you didn't know better, you'd think a celestial emperor had descended to earth.

"The power of faith is truly extraordinary."

Lin Xian sighed, realizing that Qing Yutian was only a Great Sage, yet through the wondrous power of faith, half of his body had entered the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Then let faith attack faith."

Duan De was well-versed in the mysteries of human nature and had a deep understanding of the path of faith. He stepped forward, exuding an imperial aura, as if an ancient celestial being had descended. His appearance was solemn and his voice was like a resounding bell as he said, "I am the Heavenly Emperor, and today I have come to the other shore to convey the Heavenly decree."

"Now my Heavenly Court has 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and even the gods have submitted. The other shore of the divine realm is nothing but the firefly's glow in rotting grass. How can it compare to the bright moon of the Heavenly Emperor? You may turn your arms and lay down your armor, and surrender with courtesy. You will not lose your titles and ranks. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

Heavenly Court? Heavenly Court!
Before the words were even finished, the major families of the Divine Realm trembled instantly. They still vividly remembered the unparalleled divine might of Gai Jiuyou and his few supreme beings who had stormed into the Divine Realm and seized the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram. That kind of power was something they could not resist.

In an instant, the power of faith diminished greatly, and Qingyu Tiandu appeared somewhat dim. It was the power of thought that brought it success, and it was also the power of thought that brought it failure.

The masses love to create gods, but they also love to destroy them.

Qing Yutian's quasi-emperor realm was teetering on the brink of collapse, and even he himself was wavering, wanting to submit.

At this critical moment, Qing Yutian's confidant, a clan leader of a major clan, said in a deep voice: "My god, you absolutely cannot. If we descend, we will have a place in the Heavenly Court. If my god descends, how will we conduct ourselves? How can believers respect a god who is subordinate to humans?"

Qing Yutian suddenly realized that if he surrendered without a fight, his faith would immediately fade away, and he would be reduced to his original form, at the mercy of others.

A desperate fight might offer a glimmer of hope.

He was nearing old age and had no hope of breaking through on his own. Only through faith could he prolong his life and even advance to the quasi-emperor level.

"If it truly is the will of the Supreme Being, my Divine Realm will submit without hesitation. But... you have obeyed the decree of that Supreme Being?"

Qing Yutian shouted loudly. He was betting that the Heavenly Court Supreme wouldn't interfere in such matters. If it were truly a decree issued by the Supreme, when Gai Jiuyou and the others took the array diagram, they should have conveniently destroyed the Divine Realm and incorporated it into the Heavenly Court's territory.

"It is the decree of the Underworld Lord."

Lin Xian remained indifferent, and sneered, "What, do you intend to defy the will of the Underworld Emperor? Your crime deserves death!"

"Emperor of the Underworld, I have never heard of such a supreme being in the Heavenly Court."

When Qingyu Tian made his move, his divine might was unparalleled. He could grasp the sun and moon and pluck stars from the sky, and he was comparable to a quasi-emperor.

But Lin Xian and Duan De were not to be trifled with. When the two joined forces, even Ye Fan had to avoid their sharp edge.

A quasi-emperor with a physical body and a quasi-emperor with magical power launched a combined attack, causing Qing Yutian, a quasi-emperor of faith, to suffer a series of defeats. In an instant, the morale of the army of gods collapsed, and they were filled with fear and unease, causing the power of faith to plummet.

"My god has been defeated! My god has been defeated!"

Suddenly, an old god cried out in despair, triggering a massive upheaval that caused the entire situation to collapse. Although Qing Yutian managed to kill his incompetent ally in time, it was too late to salvage the situation, and he could only lead his army back to the Other Shore Divine Realm.

As if things weren't going well, another piece of bad news arrived: taking advantage of the gods' absence, the Six-Eared Macaque launched a surprise attack, returning to the empty divine realm, transforming into Qing Yutian's appearance, and absconding with countless valuables, divine weapons, and secret treasures.

The intensity of the looting was lamentable; the original palace was reduced to rubble, not even the bricks and tiles were spared, and they almost stole the Tree of Life, the elixir of immortality planted on the mountain.

"The Six-Eared Macaque has excellent bloodline and the flair of our generation. He's much more reliable than the Black Emperor." Duan De praised, his eyes shining. He was quite tempted and couldn't help but think to himself that if he could recruit him, he would be a valuable assistant for scouting tombs and gathering intelligence in the future.

"This little monkey is quite extraordinary. He's almost a Great Sage. No wonder he has one of the strongest bloodlines in the universe."

Lin Xian clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Why not earn enough to go to the Heavenly Court and get a seat there?"

“To desert in the face of battle is hardly the mark of a loyal and righteous person,” Duan De said meaningfully. “Monkeys are clever creatures; their thieving nature is hard to change.”

"He's a peerless bandit leader!" Lin Xian clapped his hands and laughed, "The Heavenly Court is lacking in talent like him!"

"Is that so?" Duan De seemed puzzled, but in reality he was stating his opinion. He and Lin Xian exchanged a glance, and in an instant they understood each other and burst into laughter.

The two stormed into the Divine Realm, but did not directly attack Qingyutian's stronghold, Aishan. This mountain was exceptionally sacred, much like Mount Sumeru in Buddhism. It was not the accumulation of a single generation of gods, but rather the sedimentation of countless gods since ancient times. It was a supremely sacred place, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

They truly undermined the foundations of the gods, destroyed the divine dynasty, and set foot in one great city after another in the divine realm.

God is omnipotent and interacts with all living beings. Only by severing his connection with all living beings can the unease dissipate on its own.

On the first day that Lin Xian descended upon this world, the crowd was indignant, and the beings of the divine realm rebelled, saying: "Evil spirits from beyond the realm have landed on the other side."

The next day: After he displayed his quasi-emperor strength, the wind shifted again, and an old god ran around shouting: The extraterrestrial demon king, whose identity cannot be revealed, is approaching the low mountain.

On the third day, Lin Xian contacted some families and pardoned them for their offenses against the Heavenly Court. This caused an uproar throughout the land, and the remaining loyalists cursed, "Despicable and shameless outsiders are trying to invade the divine realm."

On the fourth day, Qing Yutian did not appear and continued to hold his sacred mountain. Countless powerful figures from various families couldn't help but sigh, "Lin Xian has occupied the sacred land."

On the fifth day: More and more supporters thronged around Lin Xian as he marched toward the sacred mountain, shouting, "Lord Lin is approaching the low mountain!"

On the sixth day, some families changed their allegiance and stepped forward to kowtow, saying, "The supreme forest god has arrived at his loyal dwarf mountain god land."

The world was shaken, and the winds of change completely shifted. For Qingyu Heaven, this was clearly a disastrous consequence. Faith plummeted, and from doubt to disbelief, more and more people turned to the Heavenly Court, even creating a statue of Lin Xian.

The most obvious change is the sharp decrease in the spiritual power of those flying towards the center of the divine realm, which is visible to the naked eye of ordinary mortals.

However, Qing Yutian remained steadfast, refusing to abdicate, and shouted, "Lin Xian, if you have the guts, come up here!" The sacred mountain trembled, and every crack in the stone opened up, from which flowed a vast and unfathomable power of faith, unparalleled and magnificent, blessed by the faith of generations—this was the most powerful force.

"You dare come down here!" Lin Xian shouted. As someone who studies the power of faith, he could sense the terrifying power of the low mountain. The power of faith was surging, like a Kunpeng soaring through the nine heavens, possessing a quasi-emperor-level strength that could kill.

"What can you do to me!" Qing Yutian said in a very undignified manner, behaving like a rogue despite being a dignified god.

One after another, the sacred mountains trembled, and an ancient rune appeared on each peak, imprinted on the sky, forming a supreme array. It was the mark of an ancient demon god, second only to the ancient emperors.

Unless one possesses imperial weapons, even a quasi-emperor might not be able to breach the defenses.

"Since he doesn't want to be dignified, I'll help him out." Duan De rubbed his hands together, no longer having the patience to wait. He was eyeing one of the sacred mountains with a covetous look. On the mountain was an ancient tree of life, with a rough trunk and cracked bark, like dragon scales. Its branches stretched out vigorously, and its leaves were emerald green and crystal clear, sparkling and shining, as if they were cast from pieces of emerald green immortal gold, dazzling and brilliant.

The Elixir of Immortality, the Tree of Life once held by the Great Emperor Daoyan!
"My lord, please hold your hand."

Several clan elders hurried over, indicating that they could help Qing Yutian save face.

Lin Xian gave them this opportunity, and so within a few days, the statues of gods from various families and cities were smashed.

Qing Yutian let out a muffled groan, having lost his last source of faith, and completely fell from the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"I'll fight you!"

Unwilling to give up, Qing Yutian roared and charged towards Lin Xian. Although he had lost his power of faith, the divine mountain still had it. The power of faith accumulated by the gods of past generations transformed into a vast ocean and charged towards him with unparalleled momentum.

Lin Xian frowned, about to take out the Fuxi Dragon Tablet to defend himself, when suddenly the bronze ghost lamp made a rattling sound, soared into the air, and emitted boundless immortal light, actually drawing in all the power of faith and turning it into lamp oil.

This change stunned not only the gods, but even Lin Xian was taken aback.

In the blink of an eye, the bronze ghost lamp with a human face recited the Scripture of Salvation and rushed into the most ancient sacred mountain in the divine realm. In an instant, it attracted four sword energies that surrounded its body.

"Such powerful sword energy, it's no weaker than the Emperor Weapon itself."

Duan De's expression changed; he finally understood why Gai Jiuyou and the others hadn't subdued the Divine Realm—the waters of this other shore were too deep.

It can be conquered, but whoever destroys it will surely pay a devastating price.

"It can sever the supreme weapon."

Lin Xian gazed at the most ancient mountain in the Divine Realm and made a judgment: if the supreme weapon of the Tengshe clan dared to take this attack, it would definitely be shattered.

However, this was just the beginning. The bronze ghost lamp shone faintly, illuminating the entire ancient star.

As a culmination of the fusion of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the Other Shore holds an extremely extraordinary position. The little old man in the bronze lamp chuckled, instantly causing the Five Elements Continent to overflow, and the vast Five Elements essence surged forth from the Other Shore, flowing into the lamp wick.

The vast essence of the five elements descended, causing countless peaks to tremble and the mountains to crack. Crystal-clear liquid flowed down, like rolling, multicolored dewdrops, prompting the elders of the divine race to exclaim in surprise, "Divine Demon Liquid!"

"What is the Divine Demon Liquid?" Duan De asked curiously.

An old and experienced deity slowly said that the Divine Demon Liquid, like the Five Elements Essence, only moves once every ten thousand years, originating from the legendary battlefield of the gods.

In the mythological era, the ancient Celestial Venerable buried the gods he had slain in this place. The flesh and bones of the gods automatically gave rise to the Divine Demon Liquid, which gushed out once every ten thousand years.

"The blood of the supreme!"

Lin Xian's eyes flashed with divine light. This was actually the burial place of the Supreme Being killed by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. There were truly too many surprises on this other shore.

The Divine Demon Liquid gushed forth like a spring and was absorbed by the bronze lamp, which terrified Duan De.

This usually greedy archaeological expert hesitated at this moment, somewhat afraid to try and steal the prize.

"You've paid the rent. You've been with me for so long, you should at least get some interest. Otherwise, I won't take you to Lingbao Tianzun's Four Extremes Secret Realm and Dragon Transformation Secret Realm."

Lin Xian coughed lightly and said in a half-threatening tone.

The bronze ghost lamp trembled slightly and actually left behind a few drops of divine and demonic liquid. Duan De was so frustrated that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. Finally, greed overcame reason and he went up to fight with the old man.

"Indeed, people can see everything when they live long enough."

Lin Xian took out a recording stone and silently recorded this scene. Oh my god, this is precious video footage of the Nine Heavens Venerable fighting a spiritual treasure during a tribulation.

Duan De was burned red by the immortal fire, his Daoist robe was torn in several places, and he looked like a beggar after paying a heavy price. In the end, he swallowed a few drops of the Divine Demon Liquid.

With a whoosh, after circling the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels and Dao Palace, the bronze ghost lamp returned to Lin Xian's hand. It was incredibly ancient and serene, unlike an imperial artifact, but rather like an ordinary lamp.

Upon witnessing this scene, the elders of the various families trembled in fear and knelt down, shouting that the new god had ascended the throne.

"You've really put me through a lot," Lin Xian sighed, declining the offer and offering to return the throne to Qing Yutian.

"If the heavens had not given birth to the forest god, the world would have remained in eternal darkness!"

The elders showered him with compliments, then ordered the holy maidens of each race to drape the already woven yellow robes over Lord Lin's body.

It's lamentable that Lord Lin, a quasi-emperor, was utterly powerless against a few weak women and was unwillingly carried onto the throne by the crowd.

After the three shouts of "Long live the Emperor!", many old statues in the divine realm collapsed, and a brand new statue of Lin Xian was erected. A continuous stream of faith power flew towards the divine mountain, just like in the past.

Everything has changed, yet it seems as if nothing has changed at all.

Duan De's expression turned solemn as he warned, "Faith is poisonous; be careful of Qing Yutian's fate."

"Faith is easy to gain, but equally easy to lose. What if I get on the bus first and buy the ticket later?" Lin Xian's eyes flashed with divine light, and his sacred aura was no longer concealed, revealing himself as a quasi-emperor!
As his realm rose, so did the tide, and all living beings gathered their thoughts, creating a radiant and dazzling quasi-emperor primordial spirit, like a god high above.

The Quasi-Emperor's magical power and primordial spirit have been obtained in two parts.
By relying on the power of faith, one can feign the realm of a quasi-emperor and perfect one's own path. Once one's own path is perfected, even if one loses the divine position of faith, one will still be a flawless quasi-emperor.

A few drops of divine and demonic liquid crystal shone brightly, radiating five-colored light. Lin Xian swallowed them in one gulp and instantly refined them. His powerful body, which had undergone rebirth and reconstruction, immediately underwent a mysterious change, becoming even more lustrous. It was practically divine flesh and immortal bones, bursting out with an earth-shattering aura.

When the quantity accumulates to a certain level, a qualitative change will occur.

At this moment, Lin Xiandi exuded an aura of superiority and transcendence, standing above the mortal world with an indescribable charm!
