The God of Heavens

Chapter 179 Eight Scenes Opening the Heavens

Inside the Eight Views Palace.

After the various holy sites departed, high-ranking officials from forces such as the Sun God Cult, the Ice Demon Palace, the Heavenly Demon Alliance, and the Longevity Temple stepped forward.

"Senior, our sect is deeply grateful for the temple built for the Holy Emperor." The Sun Sect Leader bowed solemnly, his tone sincere.

Since Lin Yu's sudden emergence, he has not only helped the Sun God Cult regain its prestige, but also arranged the Holy Emperor's sacrificial ceremony properly. Such kindness and virtue are beyond words.

"It's alright." Lin Yu said calmly. "My obtaining the ancient scriptures from the two human emperors is the cause, and helping you establish a temple for worship is the effect. Cause and effect are a cycle, and this is how it should be."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest of Changsheng Temple trembled, his voice shaking: "Sir...you are actually cultivating the ancient scriptures of two human emperors?!"

The powerful figures from the Ice Demon Palace and the Heavenly Demon Alliance also had their pupils shrink and their faces showed horror.

"The moon and the sun, which is weak and which is strong, when yin and yang work together, the world will be ruled by the emperor!"

In an instant, everyone present was shaken to their core, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in their minds!

"Could this be... the reason why the master is so domineering?!"

"To fuse two ancient scriptures of the Human Emperors into one body... this is defying the heavens!"

Although the ancient star Ziwei had produced three great emperors, the imperial scripture lineage was almost completely severed. The Sun God Sect possessed the "Sun True Scripture," but dared not cultivate it; the Taiyin God Sect, though wielding the "Taiyin True Scripture," failed to nurture any truly powerful figures. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easily destroyed by Lin Yu.

Although the cultivators of this realm are relatively weaker due to the suppression of the Great Dao, resulting in a considerable number of Dao-Slaying Kings, the number of higher-level cultivators is far inferior to that of the Big Dipper. Without the threat of forbidden zones, the cultivators of the Purple Star Ancient Star are too complacent and lack the tempering of life and death, ultimately making it difficult for them to achieve great things.

“No wonder…no wonder you were able to sweep away all enemies at such a young age…” the old Taoist priest of Changsheng Temple murmured to himself, his eyes filled with awe.

Lin Yu glanced sideways at the old Taoist priest. This patriarch of the Underworld Ridge was of dubious identity due to the subtle connection between his sect and the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

Whether he was a pawn in someone else's scheme or a legitimate heir, Lin Yu had placed a seal on him and used him as a laborer. Lin Yu couldn't immediately discern whether the other's expression was genuine or a deliberate pretense.

However, he didn't care much about whether there was a real connection between the Temple of Longevity and the Celestial Venerable of Longevity. In his view, it was merely a pawn that could be discarded at any time, serving only to probe and restrain in the game.

Everyone stared at Lin Yu's figure, their hearts filled with shock.

"Such achievements have probably surpassed those of the ancient emperors in their youth, haven't they?" someone murmured softly, their voice filled with undisguised awe.

"Throughout history, perhaps only the legendary Emperor and the Primordial Being could be compared to him..."

"Although it's hard to understand, it seems to be the only way to describe it. Your Excellency already possesses the aura of a Heavenly Emperor!"

"If he can continue to be this powerful, this era may truly give birth to another invincible Heavenly Emperor who surpasses all other emperors!"

This thought was not unique to one person. All the powerful figures present, whether they were elders of the Sun God Sect or senior members of the Ice Demon Palace and the Heavenly Demon Alliance, had the same idea in their minds.

Ordinary imperial talent is no longer enough to describe Lin Yu's amazing and powerful abilities!
He has truly grown up, reigning supreme, and his power is unstoppable!
Unless he perishes due to some catastrophic event, he will surely attain enlightenment, command the universe, and reign supreme for tens of thousands of years!

Faced with such an existence, even if one doesn't try to curry favor with him before he reaches the pinnacle, one must absolutely not offend him. Otherwise, it will surely bring catastrophic disaster in the future, and may even implicate the entire lineage!
At this moment, everyone deeply realized that a brand new era had officially begun!
Lin Yu paid no attention to the restless thoughts of his subordinates. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back on the Heavenly Platform of the Eight Views Palace, gazing into the distance with a deep look in his eyes.

His Lord's Eye opened, as if standing alone at an infinite height, enveloping the entire Ziwei Ancient Star.

The land is vast and boundless, with towering mountains reaching into the clouds, and mighty rivers flowing for hundreds of thousands of miles. There are also many celestial lands where spiritual energy soars into the sky, and purple mist rises from the air.

This is a magnificent world, vast yet beautiful, grand yet ethereal, breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

"The Sun God Cult is in Shenzhou, the Eight Views Palace is in Luzhou, the Ice Demon Palace is in Luzhou, the Underworld Ridge is in Luzhou, and the Heavenly Demon Alliance is in Hezhou."

Lin Yu silently calculated in his mind, "Adding to the already subjugated East Sea Fusang Divine Tree Kingdom, the former territory of the Taiyin Divine Sect, and the North Sea Tang Valley..."

His fingertips lightly tapped the air, and golden patterns appeared, outlining a topographical map of the ancient star, Ziwei. Points of light representing various forces were scattered throughout, almost covering the entire ancient star.

"Not enough"

His gaze sharpened, and his hands suddenly formed a hand seal. In an instant, countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes burst forth from his fingertips, dazzling like phoenix feathers, outlining intricate and profound trajectories in the void.

Each line contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, as if it were trying to incorporate the entire starry sky into the formation.

For three days and three nights straight, Lin Yu maintained this posture. His brows were furrowed with exhaustion, but his eyes shone like cold stars. When the last Origin Heaven Rune was completed, the entire void suddenly trembled violently.

"rise!"

Lin Yu's clear shout shook the heavens, and a burst of golden light, ten thousand feet long, suddenly erupted from the top of his head. The dazzling divine light pierced the sky, projecting the images of countless stars into the void. At this moment, the earth's veins on the ancient Ziwei star completely boiled, and countless dragon energies surged forth like rivers flowing into the sea, causing the entire land to tremble slightly.

"Rumble--"

Deep underground, the ancestral dragon vein, which had slumbered for millennia, suddenly awoke, emitting a long roar that shook the universe. With the dragon's roar, the mountains and terrain of the entire ancient star began to subtly change.

"This is a method that seizes the very essence of heaven and earth!"

"To manipulate the terrain of an entire ancient star single-handedly—such mastery of Origin Arts is something even a reborn Origin Master would have to admit defeat!"

Everyone present gasped in astonishment, clearly sensing a profound change occurring in the surrounding天地道律 (Heaven and Earth Dao Laws). The previously sparse essence suddenly became denser, and some cultivators who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for many years showed faint signs of breaking through amidst this change in the heavens and earth.

Lin Yu stood in the void, his hands constantly forming hand seals. Every movement of his seemed to be in harmony with the Dao of Heaven, and the golden Dao patterns flowing from his fingertips resonated with the dragon energy of the earth's veins.

Gradually, the celestial phenomena of the Ziwei Ancient Star also began to change—the clouds gathered and dispersed in a measured way, the wind and rain were harmonious and orderly, and even the cycle of the four seasons became exceptionally distinct.

"A complete transformation! So this is what a true transformation is!" A young cultivator trembled with excitement. "I used to think it was just a legend, but today I've witnessed it with my own eyes!"

The old demon king of the Heavenly Demon Alliance watched this scene with a complex expression. He had lived for over three thousand years and witnessed countless powerful beings wielding extraordinary abilities, but he had never seen anyone single-handedly influence the laws of heaven and earth of an entire ancient star. This was beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators; it clearly touched upon the domain of the Creator.

As the last array rune fell, the ancient star Ziwei suddenly burst forth with dazzling divine light. That light pierced through the clouds, illuminating the entire star field.

Lin Yu slowly finished his practice, his robes fluttering gently amidst the Daoist rhythms of heaven and earth. He gazed intently into the distance, a faint divine light emanating from his fingertips.

"It's time."

With a soft whisper, Lin Yu traced profound paths in the void with his hands. In an instant, the invisible laws of the void, like spring rain, silently merged into this world. Unlike the earth-shattering changes of the past, this transformation was more subtle and profound.

Within the jurisdiction of the Eight Views Palace, every breeze begins to carry a unique Taoist charm, and every cloud contains the true meaning of the Great Void.

This change is so subtle that even a Dao-slaying King would find it difficult to perceive its mysteries, yet he could truly feel that this world was becoming more intimately connected with the Dao.

"The boundary between the Void Realm and this world is beginning to blur," Lin Yu murmured to himself. He saw countless tiny points of light appearing in the void; these were the "gods" of the Void Realm establishing connections with the mortal world.

On this day, a sect called "Holy King" quietly rose to prominence on the ancient star Ziwei. There was no earth-shattering founding ceremony, no overwhelming military conquest, only a gentle and pervasive education.

In the arid village, an old farmer prayed devoutly before the newly built stele of the Holy King. In less than half a day, rain clouds carrying spiritual energy drifted down from the sky, nourishing the parched land.

"A miracle!" The old farmer knelt in the rain, his muddy tears mingling with the rainwater.

In a village isolated by mountains, the villagers burned incense and prayed before the portrait of the Holy King. The next morning, a white-robed monk arrived on a cloud and, with the power to move mountains and fill seas, opened up a smooth road to the outside world.

In another war-torn land, the people prayed day and night. One night, a golden light suddenly broke through the clouds, and several golden-armored generals descended, quelling the war without harming a single person. They left behind only the words, "The Holy King protects those with good intentions," before drifting away.

These changes, like a gentle spring breeze, gradually spread across the ancient star of Ziwei. Remarkably, the Holy King Sect never forces others to believe, nor does it compete with other sects; it simply quietly fulfills its promise of "responding to every request."

Standing atop the highest point of the Eight Views Palace, Lin Yu gazed upon the scattered Heavenly Court outposts, his eyes gleaming with a profound light. He knew that true enlightenment lay not in forced faith, but in allowing all beings to personally experience the compassion of the Dao.

"There are gods watching over us," he murmured, a faint smile playing on his lips. "From now on, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished; this will no longer be an empty saying."

In the unnoticed void, countless deities of the primordial chaos are quietly altering the rules of this world through the faith and willpower of the Holy King Sect.

This change was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves on the ancient star of Ziwei.

What makes the Holy King Sect unique is that they not only save all living beings, but also devoutly worship the divine positions of the Yin Emperor and the Sun Emperor.

As time went by, a wonderful change occurred in the hearts of all people. Those ancient memories that had been sealed away for a long time seemed to be awakened, and the myth of the human emperor passed down from generation to generation came back to life in people's hearts.

"So, those legends about protecting the common people were all true!"

"The successor of the Human Emperor has finally reappeared in the world!"

This understanding spread like wildfire throughout the ancient star of Ziwei. Soon, the Holy King Sect naturally became the faith and refuge of all living beings.

Whenever natural disasters or man-made calamities strike, people fervently pray to the Holy King's faction. Within the territory controlled by Lin Yu, and relying on the transit of the Taixu Realm, these prayers are almost always answered.

As the coverage of the Void Realm continues to expand, the number of prayers that can be sensed also increases. The deities of the Void Realm travel between the real and the illusory, relieving the suffering and difficulties of the world.

Within the Sacred Realm of the Great Void, the power of faith received daily is as vast as the ocean. Pure white vows gather in the void, transforming into boundless golden waves, their power majestic and unprecedented since time immemorial.
