My clan is super powerful

Thinking of Professor Zhuangzi, Zhang Zhi suddenly realized something, and then asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Teacher, why didn't this person advance to the God Realm?"

"Given His merit in opening up the path to becoming the Lord of the World and His contribution to the rise of the human race, He should have already advanced to the level of a God."

Professor Confucius nodded upon hearing this. "Yes, given His contributions and merits, He should have already ascended to the realm of a supreme god."

"However, He just can't advance to the level of a main god and has been stuck at the half-step main god realm."

"Actually, we were all very surprised at first, and we didn't understand why He couldn't advance to the level of a main god."

"But after so many years, we have probably figured out some things."

"There could be many reasons why He was unable to advance. Perhaps it was because He attacked that gentleman back then, which damaged His own mental state and prevented Him from ever advancing to the level of a God."

"He actually tried to achieve sainthood through merit, but he couldn't overcome the test of his own conscience."

"It is also possible that it is because the consciousness of the multiverse attaches great importance to the path of the human world. Its actions have offended the consciousness of the multiverse, so it cannot advance to the level of the main god."

"It's also possible that the one who opened the path to becoming the Lord of the World back then saved humanity from peril and gained a lot of luck and merit. When Dong Guo Yunyong attacked that person, the result was that although he appeared to have a lot of luck and merit on the surface, it was actually negative, which is why he couldn't advance at all."

"Of course, these are just our guesses."

"As for why Dong Guo Yunyong couldn't advance to the level of a main god, the real reason is probably only known to the consciousness of the multiverse."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi nodded slightly. After pondering for a while, he slowly asked, "Does anyone know where that gentleman went back then?"

Professor Confucius shook his head and said, "No one knows where that gentleman's card went, not even Dongguo Yunyong."

"Because during that process, He 'washed' the cards many times."

"Dong Guo Yunyong integrated that person's card into his small world, and after the other party's cultivation and aptitude were reduced, he then made it into a card."

"After this process was repeated several times, He mixed that gentleman's card with a pile of cards and distributed them to the other world lords, so that they could shuffle the cards again."

"After going back and forth dozens of times, no one knows which card belongs to which lord."

"Nobody knows where that card went."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi sighed inwardly, thinking that the person in question probably never expected that his partner, who had helped him pave the path to becoming the Lord of the World, would treat him this way.

That gentleman is truly a pity.

If that gentleman hadn't met with misfortune, the human race would certainly be even stronger now.

After pondering this for a long time, and recalling what Dongguo Yunyong had just done, Zhang Zhi asked Professor Confucius, "Teacher, does that Dongguo often recommend other cultivation methods to others, like he did today?"

"What is His purpose in wanting me to cultivate that birdman's path?"

Professor Confucius and Professor Shu Zi exchanged a glance, then slowly said, "He did this not very often."

"As for why He came to you, it's simple: He took a liking to your path as a Qi cultivator."

"Huh?" Zhang Zhi didn't immediately understand what those words meant.

Professor Confucius sighed and continued, "As one of the pioneers of the path to becoming the Lord of the World, He was revered by thousands and enjoyed immense prestige in those early years. He was one of the most important high-ranking figures in the human race."

"At the same time, thanks to the path of the Lord of the World, His cultivation level has also improved extremely quickly."

"However, after the incident of Him harming that gentleman came to light, although we did not do anything to Him, His status among humans plummeted, and almost no one was willing to talk to Him."

"He was originally jealous of that gentleman who was always ahead of him in promotion because of his strong vanity, and always hoped that all the glory and honor would belong to him alone."

"It was originally because of his excessive vanity. Seeing us 'juniors' surpass Him one by one and advance to the realm of the main god caused his mentality to become unbalanced, and he became a bit obsessed."

"Do you think that someone with such a strong sense of vanity, after falling from grace and becoming someone who is not only despised by everyone but also largely ignored, would not want to return to his former glory?"

"How could I not want to stand on the altar again, to be revered by everyone?"

"Why don't you think of telling us that He is the strongest among humans? The savior of humanity?"

"Given His resentment towards the God Realm, how could He not be thinking about finding an era where He could advance to the God Realm?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi understood what that person was thinking: to see him become a prominent figure in the human race's current era through the path of Qi Refining.

Moreover, a cultivator at the Transcendent Realm who had only deduced to the level of Low-Level Divine Power had already become a member of the highest ruling class of the human race, the Professor Alliance.

Therefore, He was extremely envious of His own path of cultivation.

If He could seize this path of cultivation, He might actually be able to fulfill His long-cherished wish.

I was relieved that I initially thought He was after the merits that came with my Qi Refining path. I never expected that He wasn't after the golden eggs, but the hen that could lay them.

Professor Confucius continued, "At the same time, He was also an extremely conceited person."

"Of course, He has reason to be arrogant, after all, He is the first world lord of our human race."

"Therefore, over the years, He has been hoping to find a suitable path of cultivation to prove Himself."

"Your Qi Refiner path can be said to be the most powerful cultivation path in the current multiverse. It is a cultivation path that can rival the path of the World Lord, and is even more powerful than the path of the World Lord."

"At the same time, your cultivation path has only progressed to the low-level divine power realm, and there is still a long way to go."

"The cultivation path of the Qi Refiner perfectly meets all of His needs."

"As long as He can advance the Qi Refiner's path to the level of the Main God."

"Then He will surely be able to ascend to the rank of a chief god."

"At the same time, he also possesses the strengths of the Qi Refiner path, so he will definitely become the number one person in the God Realm."

"In this way, He can once again ascend to the altar and become a great hero of the human race, revered by all."

"At the same time, it also proves that His understanding back then was correct." "He believed that the path to becoming the Lord of the World was basically due to His efforts, and that you were just lucky."

"If he can extend another powerful path to the realm of the main god, then it will prove that His understanding back then was not wrong."

"This proves that His contribution to the path to the Godhood was far greater than that of that gentleman back then. Therefore, it was not wrong for Him to take action against the person who stole His credit!"

"He even thought that the emergence of the Qi Refiner path was an opportunity given by Heaven for him to prove himself again."

Zhang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

He thought to himself that if Dong Guo Yunyong really thought that way, then all those who prevented Him from becoming the master of the Qi Refining path would be His mortal enemies, preventing Him from becoming the savior of humanity again and from standing at the pinnacle of humanity once more!

Then a question popped into his mind: how did Professor Confucius know Dongguo Yunyong's thoughts?

After letting out a soft breath, he tentatively asked Professor Confucius, "Teacher, did Dongguo Yunyong come to see you before?"

Professor Confucius hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "That's right, He did contact me. Otherwise, I wouldn't know His motives and His mindset so well."

"Actually, He not only contacted me, but also Professor Zhuangzi. As for whether He contacted anyone else, I don't know."

"He came to us right after the event ended."

"He said that the path of the Qi Refiner is an opportunity that the multiverse has once again arranged for Him."

"It is the multiverse that has given Him the opportunity to prove His greatness once again."

"Otherwise, the human race would not have developed such a powerful cultivation path."

"And within the multiverse, only He can extend the path of Qi Refiner."

"To say that this cultivation path is in your hands would be a complete waste."

"He said he hoped I could persuade you to transfer this cultivation path to Him, so that the Qi Refiner's path could potentially be deduced to the level of a main god."

"He has already noticed this cultivation path, and without His assistance, your cultivation path would never be able to be further developed."

Hearing Professor Confucius say this, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew nothing about this matter and had never even met Dong Guo Yunyong before today. This meant that Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi had already turned the matter away back then.

Then he felt speechless, thinking that this guy could make such a grand and righteous way of trying to avoid seizing opportunities. At the same time, he also gained a very clear understanding of Dong Guo's arrogance and obsession.

After all, given that guy's current mental state, those words weren't just excuses He made up; they were what He truly believed.

He glanced at Professor Confucius, whose expression remained calm, and asked, "Then, Teacher, how did you reply to Him?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Confucius's lips curled into a smile: "It's very simple."

“I said directly to Him, since you think the cultivation path of Qi Refiners is an opportunity given to you by the multiverse, why don’t you try to comprehend it yourself and open up this cultivation path?”

"Since you believe you can advance the Qi Refiner path from the Lower Divine Power Realm to the Main God Realm, you must also be able to open up a cultivation path that can rival that of a Qi Refiner."

"In this way, the human race will have two incredibly powerful cultivation paths."

"After hearing what I said, Dong Guo Yunyong stood there for a long time, his expression changing, and finally left without saying anything."

Professor Shu chuckled and said, "Professor Confucius, your words are really merciless, directly tearing away His last veil of pretense."

"If He has the ability to directly create a new cultivation path that can rival the Qi Refiner's path, then He should create one himself. Why covet someone else's cultivation path?"

"If you can't develop a cultivation path that matches the Qi Refiner's path, what right do you have to say that you can advance the subsequent cultivation techniques to the God Realm?"

"There are countless cultivation paths within this multiverse, but among these paths, only one in a hundred million can be deduced to the God Realm."

"In other words, opening up a new path of cultivation is a billion times easier than extending a world path to the God Realm."

"You can't even open up a similar path to the world, yet you're saying you can extend this path to the realm of the main god?"

Who would believe that?

"Professor Confucius, you almost said directly that He was trying to steal other people's cultivation path again."

"No wonder Dong Guo Yunyong didn't seek out any other professors afterward. It seems that your words were too hurtful, causing even someone as thick-skinned as him to no longer want to be ridiculed by others."

"But your words have also exposed His last, and perhaps most stubborn, illusion."

"After all, He must have still believed in His heart that what He did was right, that He was a once-in-a-millennium genius of the human race, and that He was the guide leading the human race to the next glory."

"But what you just said directly tells Him that if that's really the case, then why did He even create a cultivation path that can rival the Qi Refiner's path?"

"He is the ancestor of your world's master path. Professor Confucius, how dare you talk back to Him like that? It seems you really care about Zhang Zhi."

"However, that's a good point. If what He says is true, and the multiverse is really prepared to give Him another chance, why not just let Him comprehend and open up a new path of cultivation?"

Professor Confucius snorted: "Thinking of taking advantage of one's seniority to seize opportunities from others, yet insisting on using a high-sounding reason."

"If it weren't for the fact that He is the founding ancestor of the path to becoming the Lord of the World, He would have died countless times over for trying to undermine the foundation of the human race."

After saying this, Professor Confucius looked at Zhang Zhi and then said, "The reason He encouraged you to follow the Bird-People's cultivation path is probably because He hoped that you could be distracted by the Bird-People."

"This may reduce the energy you invest in the Qi Refiner cultivation path, leading to slow progress in the Qi Refiner path."

"Then He will reason with you and appeal to your emotions, persuading you to transfer the path of Qi cultivation to Him?"

"Of course, this is just my speculation."

After hearing Professor Kong's words, Zhang Zhi nodded. After pondering for a moment, he turned to look at Dongguo Yunyong and then asked, "Teacher, that person shouldn't do anything to me, right?"

"I think His idea is really crazy."

"I certainly don't want to end up like that gentleman, disappearing without a trace." (End of Chapter)
