The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 383 One God, Supreme Ruthless

Before adding variables to the experiment in the Floating World, Luo Zu had already predicted this outcome, because he had not castrated these beings' seven emotions and six desires. Before this, there had been no shortage of rebellions, but the extraordinary power had always been restricted by Luo Zu, with only the divine path.

After he opened up, the world gained an ancestor from beyond the heavens—the Immortal Elder who transmitted the Dharma.

Of course, although the immortal's Taoist magic was high, he was still blocked from entering the mortal world by the beings outside.

However, the immortals' various methods were still transmitted to the Floating World, giving all beings in the Floating World the power to break free from the shackles of divine enslavement.

Although the change came quietly, before that, the ancestor Luo Zu severed the root of immortality in this world, so that even if one became a true immortal, one could not live forever and live as long as heaven and earth.

Only in this way can the divine path compete with the immortal path; otherwise, the immortal path's advantage is simply too great.

Besides the Immortal Path, the Immortal Elder also passed down the Pure Martial Path. When one's Immortal Path talent is insufficient, or when one is in a place where spiritual energy is depleted, one can still cultivate the Pure Martial Path to strengthen oneself.

In the years since the Immortal Elder passed down his teachings, new heroes have sprung up in the mortal world like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

They intended to overthrow the rule of the gods and formed a resistance coalition.

They plunder the faith of the gods, forcibly awaken their will, and stop providing the gods with faith.

Among them, powerful cultivators who practice the path of Earthly Immortals directly plunder their followers into their own grotto-heavens, isolating them from the outside world and forbidding any contact between them.

However, Luo Zu had already completed his experiments on the divine path, and his path to divinity was already full, so he let them do as they pleased. He simply gathered his thoughts that had been divided in the Floating World into one place.

He will transform into a divine incarnation, becoming the sole god of the mortal realm.

However, even if the three thousand divine avatars were gathered together, they could not reach divinity and remained in the realm of legend.

Therefore, Luo Zu thought of another way to verify it.

"ceremony!"

"ceremony?"

"Yes, the One God has unified the legends of all races and is about to acquire divinity, but He still lacks a power to elevate Him to the divine position, so He created rituals in order to obtain this power from them."

In a secluded chamber of a grotto, the light of a whale-shaped candle illuminated the faces of most of the people inside.

This place isn't just home to humans; there are also barbarians covered in tattoos, shrunken demons, charming elves, alluring fairies, stone golems made entirely of rock, and hollow ghosts.

So many races have gathered here to discuss the current critical situation.

"What kind of power is that?"

"The power drawn from heaven and earth is called divinity in the divine way, the Great Way in the immortal way, the true meaning in the martial way, the ultimate demonic way, and the root of all things in the talisman way. It is the origin and evolution of everything," the rebel from the Ghost Clan explained in a low voice.

He was the organizer of this secret gathering, and it was he who "discovered" this secret of the One God.

"When will His ceremony take place?" someone asked.

They already understood that they must never allow the One God to acquire divinity; if that were to happen, all living beings on earth would likely have no hope left.

"Can we contact the Immortal Elder?" the barbarian representative asked.

The human representative shook his head: "We haven't been in contact with the Immortal Elder for a thousand years."

Disappointment then appeared on the faces of the others.

If an immortal elder were to assist them, they would surely be able to...slay a god!

"We must not let Him succeed!" The demon representative raised his furry arms and shouted.

Representatives from other races also raised their arms and cheered.

For the sake of their race's survival, and for the sake of their 100,000-year history of enslavement, they would never compromise with the gods; they did not want themselves or their descendants to be enslaved again.

Therefore, only by fighting back, only by battling the gods to the death, can we prove the blood and tears of our ancestors and ourselves.

"His ritual will be held in the City of Gods. We will sneak in and then attack Him at the crucial moment of His ritual, interrupting Him. He will surely be devoured by the ritual, and then we can destroy Him." The Ghost Clan already had their own plan.

Although the plan may seem immature and not very rigorous, it is simple and direct, and therefore the least likely to go wrong.

"Okay!" everyone agreed.

Next, they will contact the experts in their clan and then gather to head to the City of Gods.

……

Little did they know that all their thoughts were being monitored by Luo Zu.

At this moment, after the meeting, the representative of the Ghost Clan knelt in the shadows of a valley, fervently worshipping in a certain direction, while chanting incantations.

He is praying to a deity.

And which god in this world can receive such prayers from him? Only the One God.

His prayers seemed to be answered quickly, but the words in the darkness did not dissipate; instead, they entered his soul and became the most direct divine pronouncement.

The ghost was extremely excited. Perhaps the gods had given him a promise, or perhaps it was just his simple and extreme faith that made him so happy.

After the prayer ended, the spirit departed, and the ghost returned to its original cold and indifferent state.

……

"Bu really is that guy's spy." A person emerged from the darkness, staring at the ghostly figure that had already drifted away, and said hatefully.

The participants from various ethnic groups who had just attended also emerged from the shadows. Some were expressionless, some were equally indignant, and some had other thoughts in mind. In short, their expressions varied, and each had their own considerations.

"Now that we know Bu is trying to lure us there, we won't go to the Heavenly God City," someone stepped forward.

But someone immediately countered, "Why don't we turn the tables on them, kill the god, and restore peace and order to the world?"

The others, upon hearing this, all looked at him as if he were a fool.

If gods were so easy to kill, why would they need to hide and run? They would have stormed the city of gods long ago and worked together to destroy them. Why would they be like these rats in the ground?

Seeing everyone fall silent, Adu's black and white bear face immediately revealed resentment and displeasure: "This brat is not someone to be trifled with."

"I'll go and kill the god myself!"

Enraged, he threw down some harsh words and then turned and left.

"God, I will surely kill him, I've said my piece." Another being with a unicorn-like dragon head stretched out its body, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall beast, spewing thunderous sounds, and chased after the black and white bear in the direction it had left.

Then, one by one, the powerful figures of each race followed and left, determined to slay the god from the heavens.

Luo Zu looked down at the entire world and watched this scene quietly.

His heart remained calm at this moment, and he did not experience any significant emotional fluctuations.

After setting aside his original moral values, his thoughts in this world took on a new moral outlook, different from the past, seemingly closer to the "Way of Heaven," yet not purely devoid of desire or emotion.

With this mindset, the computational power of the true qi brain and primordial spirit can be utilized more perfectly.

Then, the true form of Luo Zu observed the wondrous changes in his own thoughts from a third-party perspective, made various analyses, and finally created a supernatural power for it—the Supreme Forgetfulness of Reality!

Once this realm is unleashed, one can witness the so-called realm of transcending the material world.

In this state, one's understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is naturally greater than before, and the speed of cultivation also doubles.

This avatar of his consciousness has now touched the realm of divinity. It is this realm of divinity that has given Luo Zu his current understanding. With this Supreme Forgetfulness Realm, he is more in sync with the Great Dao than before and can more easily unite with the Heavenly Dao.

As for the realm of divinity, Luo Zu has indeed not yet reached it, and he does indeed need this so-called ritual. This is also a shortcut to cultivation that Luo Zu has newly researched for ascending to the divine level.

Through rituals, one can achieve spiritual attainment more quickly.

Since it is a shortcut, there will naturally be risks involved. The risks that Luo Zu has deduced will be assimilated by the Great Dao.

Since rituals are about drawing power from the Great Dao, one must naturally bear the risk of the Great Dao's backlash.

Besides these, there should be other dangers. Luo Zu can only vaguely sense them at present. His divine realm is already comparable to that of a Xuanxian, or even close to Luo Zu's current state of Three Flowers in One. Therefore, Luo Zu is having some difficulty in deducing them.

However, Luo Zu is now somewhat looking forward to the success of his mental clone ritual and the attainment of divinity.

Because this path truly benefits him.
