My clan is super powerful

This is also the reason for Zhang Zhi's headache.

The main reason was that he had heard about this half-step God Realm being before, who had been searching for a way to advance to the God Realm.

After all, over the years, watching one junior after another surpass him and advance to the level of a main god must have left him with some bitter feelings.

Therefore, after the plan for achieving sainthood through merit was released, this demigod showed great interest. After trying countless methods, he believed that this might be his last chance.

Therefore, He will not give up any opportunity that could potentially accumulate a great deal of merit.

The inspector position they've come to ask for this time is very likely for their own benefit.

Of course, it was just one inspector position, so Zhang Zhi didn't think it was a big problem and just gave it to him.

But the problem is, if you give it to this person, what if other half-step God Realm cultivators come to ask for a spot? Will you give it to them or not?

The Inspector can acquire a lot of merit. Even if he doesn't use it himself, he can give it to others around him. As long as he gives it to this person, all the other half-step God Realm beings will definitely come running after him.

The human race now has several thousand half-step God Realm experts. If someone comes to you and asks, will you give it to them or not?

If you were to give them away, that would be several thousand half-step God Realm cultivators. In that case, would you still want to promote your Qi Refining path?
The reason this half-step God-level being has jumped out to find him so early is undoubtedly because there are many other half-step God-level beings instigating him behind the scenes.

Those half-gods are definitely waiting to see if they will agree to give Him the position of inspector.

Zhang Zhi, overwhelmed with worry, pondered for a long time, but to no avail. He had no choice but to send a message by flying crane to Professor Confucius, asking for advice on how to deal with this person.

Not long after, the paper crane flew back. Zhang Zhi took the paper crane and looked inside, and found only one sentence: Ignore it.

Zhang Zhi was stunned when he saw this sentence; he hadn't expected Professor Confucius to be so forceful.

Holding the paper crane in his hand, Zhang Zhi pondered for a while, thinking to himself that this person's relationship with Professor Zhuangzi and Professor Confucius was not very good.
Then it occurred to me, "That makes sense. If this person had a good relationship with Professor Zhuangzi and Professor Confucius, how could he have failed to find an opportunity to advance to the God Realm over so many tens of thousands of years?"
Moreover, judging from this person's work style, it goes without saying that this person must have approached Director Xia before, but the result was obvious: Director Xia did not agree.

The reason why Director Xia dares to be so tough must be because he knows something. Therefore, I should be able to learn some inside information from Director Xia.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi took out a jade pendant, inquired about the half-step god before, and then activated the communication jade talisman.

Before long, a jade talisman appeared in front of him; it was Director Xia's communication jade talisman.

Zhang Zhi took the jade talisman and began to examine its contents.

Sure enough, the main god realm expert that Director Xia mentioned had indeed approached Him before, and He had politely declined the request.

Furthermore, He, understanding the implied meaning, relayed all the information He knew about that half-step God-level being.

After reading the contents, Zhang Zhi finally understood why Professor Confucius's tone was so forceful.

That being who was half a step into the realm of the main god had indeed made great contributions to the human race.

This person's background is also very well understood. His family was the most powerful family in the original fantasy world, possessing one main god realm expert and four half-step main god realm experts.

He was the direct descendant of the main god family. His own grandfather was the patriarch who was half a step into the main god realm and a supreme elder who was also in the main god realm. He had also been very fond of him back then.

As the eldest son of the most powerful family in the fantasy world, he is undoubtedly a staunch defender of the vested interests of the fantasy path.

In addition, His family has always upheld the belief that the fantasy path is supreme.

His family was arguably one of the main culprits in the internal strife among humans!
When other main worlds were invaded by alien races, His family always vehemently opposed supporting them, saying that only cultivation paths that survived the baptism of blood and fire were the most suitable for the human race.

In addition, He contributed a great deal to the war against the alien races. However, the main reason He did so was because of personal grudges. His grandfather and the Supreme Elder of the main world of His clan all died in a surprise attack on His family during the alien invasion.

He was driven by revenge, which is why he so frantically killed any alien race he encountered back then.

His advancement to the half-step God realm was not solely due to the laws of war, but also related to his mindset at the time.

After killing the alien races that invaded the human race back then, He could no longer find that mindset, which is why He has been stuck at the half-step God Realm and unable to advance.

Moreover, even after the resurgence of humanity, this person still occasionally mentions the idea of ​​the supremacy of the mystical path, but now few people pay attention to him.

Furthermore, this character is also a representative of the exploitation of lower-level cultivators in the main fantasy world.

After reading about that person's life, Zhang Zhi shook his head, thinking that it was no wonder that Professor Confucius was too lazy to explain and simply told him to ignore that person.

No wonder Director Xia rejected this person's request outright.

Judging from this person's life, he was clearly a representative figure who opposed reform, and one who was so stubborn that he couldn't be more stubborn. How could He possibly let this person become the inspector of the Qi Refining Promotion Office?

Moreover, given the way His family had acted in the past, they probably made things difficult for Professor Zhuangzi, who was seeking help everywhere at the time.

It was fortunate that the higher-ups of His family had already perished at that time; otherwise, they might have been suppressed by His family when the path to becoming the Lord of the World had just been opened up and there were no high-level cultivators yet.

In addition to the actions taken by this person after the resurgence of humanity, Professor Zhuangzi must have felt a strong aversion to Him.

However, considering that He had indeed contributed a lot to the fight against the alien races back then, they didn't do anything to Him.

This is probably another important reason why this person has been unable to find any opportunity to advance to the main god realm for so many years.

After all, within the main world of the human race, almost all beings at the God Realm have some connection with Zhuangzi, and many people have reservations about some of the actions of that half-step God Realm family.

Therefore, although this person seems to be highly respected and doing very well in the fantasy world, he just can't find any opportunity to advance to the God Realm.

It is precisely because of this that after learning about the merit-based sainthood plan, He abandoned His previous belief that the mystical path was supreme and wanted to become the main god through the merit-based sainthood path.

Perhaps he also felt that he was a veteran half-step god-level being and a representative figure of the traditional forces, so if he was willing to change his path, Professor Confucius and the others would definitely agree gladly.

However, you are a representative figure of the traditional forces. If you want to switch sides, shouldn't you talk to Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi about this? Why did you come directly to me and Director Xia?
Are you too embarrassed to admit it? Or are you looking for a way to back down?

If that's the case, doesn't He consider that He, an old stubborn man who has persisted for tens of thousands of years, is unlikely to be easily believed by others to have abandoned his previous beliefs?

What if you go back to your old ways after you become a god? Also, you've offended so many people before, you need others to accept you if you want to switch allegiances.

Or perhaps you don't actually want to switch sides at all, you're not even willing to make a change of appearance, you're still sticking to your old ways, but you're thinking about achieving sainthood as the world lord and planning to advance to the main world here.
That's why he didn't go to Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi to discuss this matter, but instead thought he could take advantage of this place by relying on his old face.

If that's the case, you're dreaming.

Thinking about this, Zhang Zhi shook his head. He really couldn't understand what this person was thinking.

After pondering for a while, he turned to Zixia beside him and said, "Miss Zixia, would you please go and receive that gentleman who is at the half-step God Realm?"

"Just tell him that I was just called over by Professor Confucius. If there's anything he needs, you can pass it on to him."

Zixia looked at Zhang Zhi with some surprise: "Are you sure you want to say that? Quite a few people saw you here in the library. Isn't saying this a bit offensive?"

“Even if you don’t want to see Him, you shouldn’t make up such a perfunctory excuse.”

"Are you implying to that person that your relationship isn't very good?"

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly and handed Director Xia's communication jade talisman to Zixia.

Zixia, having lived through many eras, was a shrewd and experienced person, and naturally saw through the problem easily. She then said with some surprise, "If a representative figure of such a vested interest group wants to switch sides with you, I imagine Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi would welcome him very much."

"However, the fact that He didn't go to Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi, but instead came to Director Xia and you, clearly shows that He doesn't want to give up the benefits He has already gained, but also wants the same benefits from you."

"This is a situation where you want both."

"Why?"

"No wonder you don't give Him any face."

After hearing Zixia's complaint, Zhang Zhi's lips curled up slightly and he said, "Judging from the fact that she couldn't wait to jump out as soon as she heard the news, her cunning is probably shallower than we imagined."

"This one has lived for tens of thousands of years."

"So, it seems that this person is used to acting like a tyrant in the fantasy world and doesn't realize that the world doesn't actually revolve around Him."

Zixia nodded slightly in agreement with Zhang Zhi's speculation: "Indeed, a person with a deep mind would never be used as a pawn or pushed out to test your attitude."

"Alright, I'll go back now and refuse that person as you suggested."

...

According to Zixia, after learning that Zhang Zhi had been summoned by Professor Confucius and was unavailable, the man did not take any extreme actions. He simply told Zixia that he would come to see Zhang Zhi again in a few days before turning and leaving.

When Zhang Zhi heard Zixia's account, he pondered for a moment. He wasn't sure if that person would come looking for him again.

But if He comes looking for me again, I can just refuse Him directly.

However, if He were to investigate carefully, He would know that what He said about being summoned by Professor Confucius was just an excuse.

After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Zhi put the matter out of his mind and continued to complete his daily task: refining cards.

After refining the cards, Zhang Zhi began to inspect the small world as usual.

Upon entering the Lingbao Small World, Ao Guang had already received an invitation from the Jin Kingdom to attend its founding ceremony.

According to Ao Guang, all the high-ranking officials and high-level cultivators from other races who received the invitation were somewhat bewildered.

Those people wondered, hadn't the demon race's kingdom already been established long ago?

What does it mean to hold a national founding ceremony now?
Just because you're a demon, you think you're all grown up?

Or is it that the demon race now has something to rely on?
Soon after, the rumor that the elephant demon had advanced to the low-level divine power realm began to spread.

Therefore, many high-level cultivators who received the invitations initially thought that the demon race was holding this grand ceremony because the elephant demon had advanced to the low-level divine power realm and felt that it had something to rely on, so it was making such a big fuss.

Indeed, your demon race has produced its first person to advance to the low-level divine power realm, which shows some ability. However, holding a nation-building ceremony is far too ostentatious.

As a result, the high-ranking members of several races privately discussed whether they should teach the demon race a lesson to prevent them from becoming too arrogant.

Some people even approached Ao Guang to discuss this matter.

As a result, undercurrents began to surge within the small world.

To Zhang Zhi's slight surprise, things unfolded as they happened.

That elephant demon was indeed quite capable. After sensing the undercurrent, it held a small-scale promotion celebration ceremony.

After the ceremony, the name of the Jin Kingdom was a reward that the elephant demon asked for from the Venerable after advancing to the lower-level divine power realm.

As for the Venerable One, considering that the Elephant Demon was the first being in the small world to advance to the low-level divine power realm, not only did he agree to the Elephant Demon's request, but the news that he would even attend the founding ceremony spread throughout the small world.

This news stunned the high-ranking officials of all races within the entire small world.

Many people's first reaction was that it was impossible, but what they could be sure of was that these contents were told by the elephant demon himself.

This suggests that the news is almost certainly not false.

Because the founding ceremony is just a few months away, if His Majesty does not appear at the founding ceremony, the high-ranking cultivators of various races present will probably attack the elephant demon on the spot.

Even though the elephant demon had advanced to the low-level divine power realm, it was still no match for so many high-level cultivators.

Therefore, what the elephant demon said is very likely true! (End of Chapter)
