My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

Before Su Yi's transmigration, the background story of "Immortal Path" mainly revolved around Empress Ling Yao and Heavenly Emperor Xiao Tian, ​​and the storyline had reached the period of dynastic struggle.

The cultivation world has experienced several great calamities and has gradually weakened, even to the point of wanting to rely on imperial power, with cultivators no longer having any dignity or respect.

Su Yi, who successfully rode the wave of opportunity, had a bad reputation, but by using the title of Empress, she was able to get by wherever she went.

At that time, the Zhengyang Immortal Sect contacted Su Yi through inner disciples who had joined the sect, demonstrating the sect's determination to take over Empress Congcheng.

But Su Yi, who was riding high at the time, remembered what the other person had once said: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

He retorted smugly, "You wouldn't understand what it means to be a lackey!"

Each version has its own legend, which shows how dilapidated the blessed land had become back then.

As for the remaining two grotto-heavens, Su Yi also had some impression of them:

The Ultimate Grotto-Heaven cultivates the light of stars, and its unique supernatural power is to imitate the arrangement of stars to form an array. It is said that after mastering it, it can reproduce the 360-cycle star array, trapping true immortals above and all living beings below.

The Myriad Gu Cave Heaven—just from the name, you can tell it's an old acquaintance. It raises Gu worms and uses them as supernatural powers. As cultivators improve their realm, the Gu worms also improve, allowing them to control hundreds of insects to kill enemies. Their style of doing things is both righteous and demonic.

To put it simply, one is a beast tamer, and the other is an array master.

Each of the thirty-six grotto-heavens has its own unique characteristics and exclusive supernatural powers.

Taking the Luoxia Immortal Sect as an example, their sect's "Radiant Light Divine Power" allows the user to transform into a beam of radiant light, which is extremely fast and provides excellent evasion.

Just like when Zhenxiazi made a move, a radiant light shone everywhere, and wherever the light reached, that was where the cultivators were!

To be honest, the unique supernatural powers of these thirty-six blessed lands and grottoes did indeed shock the players who were still ordinary players in the early stages of the game.

However, with each version update, the unique supernatural powers of these thirty-six grotto-heavens either disappeared or were simply untraceable.

Before Su Yi's transmigration, during the period of the two emperors vying for supremacy, the most mainstream strategy was to submit to the dynasty, cultivate a divine status, and master divine powers!

From Gu Wanquan's destruction of the Luoxia Immortal Sect to his rise to power through the divine path, only three versions and ten years have passed.

The entire cultivation world thus transformed from a world of immortal cultivation into an era where divine authority reigned supreme.

Although cultivators still cultivate immortality, the gods appointed by the Great Zhou Dynasty wield immense divine power!

Most of the quest rewards needed for players to level up are also issued by these gods.

The Great Zhou Dynasty even boasted a million gods roaming the heavens and earth!

In Su Yi's view, the rise of the divine way is an inevitable event in the course of the game.

Not to mention that after several great calamities, the cultivation of immortality declined and imperial power prevailed.

From a purely gaming perspective, the idea of ​​a god replacing a cultivator fits perfectly with the game's progression.

Cultivators either roam freely among mountains and rivers or live in seclusion within various sects.

For new players, finding a cultivator to accept a quest is as difficult as winning the lottery.

However, if it were a deity residing in a certain place, before the player traveled through time, they would directly use the City God Temple where the deity lived as the quest hall.

In this world, players can accept all sorts of random tasks from the City God Temple.

Compared to the unrestrained cultivators who are always on the move, the gods, as representatives of their respective realms, are more suited to issuing quests to players.

Therefore, from the player's perspective, it was only a matter of time before the world of "Immortal Path," where gods and immortals walked side by side, was dominated by gods.

The blessed lands of today are living a peaceful and contented life, maintaining the agreements that have been preserved since ancient times.

Humans belong to the gods, and the mountains and fields belong to the immortals.

However, after Empress Ling Yao ascended the throne, he suffered real injuries from the powerful Empress's repeated punches.

Human beings belong to the gods, mountains and fields belong to the gods, and even blessed lands and grottoes belong to the gods.

The Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial power was divinely granted, giving it the right to bestow titles upon deities. The most important source of these deities' power—the incense offerings—originated from the faith of the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Zhou.

Therefore, gods are different from cultivators; they are held hostage by monarchical power.

The gods are only remembered by the living beings after their death, by the people's petitions, the Imperial Observatory's requests, and the current sage's seal.

After being granted the title, one can open a temple, sculpt a golden statue, absorb the power of incense offerings, and become a local deity.

This pantheon is extremely dependent on the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the gods are by nature the most steadfast protectors of the dynasty.

Compared to gods, who are staunch defenders of the dynasty, unrestrained and unruly cultivators are nothing more than a cancer on the empire.

He only eats and doesn't excrete, and even occasionally provokes the imperial authority, always believing that the path to immortality is superior to the imperial authority.

For an empire, such instability is a factor that can shake the very foundations of the empire.

However, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Immortal Sects were established earlier than the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their resources were enough to rival the dynasty.

With the successive calamities weakening the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves, the Great Zhou Dynasty had the best opportunity to seize the initiative and eliminate the empire's cancer for the first time.

It was at this moment that Empress Ling Yao appeared, using her fists to create everything in her path with equal force, leaving the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Forbidden Lands almost unable to breathe.

This led to the revival of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was originally at the end of its reign, and enabled it to achieve a second revival.

These once arrogant cultivators finally realized that if they stayed at home waiting to die, the Empress would probably end the path to immortality in this world.

In desperation, a prince was thrust into the limelight, raising the slogan of revitalizing the cultivation path of heaven and earth and leading thousands of cultivators to resist the tyrant, attempting to establish an organization capable of separating from and opposing the empire: the "Heavenly Court."

The unlucky guy who was pushed to the forefront was Xiao Tian.

After the Heavenly Court was established, the game entered an era of two emperors vying for supremacy.

The gods and immortals have reached a point where they are irreconcilable and cannot be at peace.

Ling Yao and Xiao Tian, ​​representing the secular world and the immortal path respectively, both ended up in conflict.

In Su Yi's opinion, this group of cultivators were a bunch of idiots. They were on the verge of life and death, and after finally managing to unite as one, they kept fighting amongst themselves.

This left Xiao Tian busy mediating internal conflicts every day. Faced with the Empress's offensive, he suffered repeated defeats and saw no hope of winning.

Only a righteous and majestic Empress will lead her loyal Great Zhou Dynasty to sweep away all obstacles and become the great ruler of this world.

This is also the biggest motivation for Su Yi to stay true to his original aspiration. So what if he becomes the leader of a sect?

There are as many as thirty-six immortal sects like the Luoxia Immortal Sect, as well as the holy masters of the seventy-two forbidden lands.

Will he be one of the 108 heroes of the Water Margin, or the first lackey of the only female emperor in the world?

Can't you tell the difference between such obvious little things?
