Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

It's been hundreds of thousands of years.

When Jiang Hao first attained enlightenment, they thought it was just another era of enlightenment, perhaps just a bit stronger this time.

They may rule for a longer period, but it shouldn't exceed 50,000 years; they'll just have to endure it.

But who knew that this time they would encounter the invincible Heavenly Emperor.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and they have been awakened time and time again from their slumber to find that the outside world still follows the Heavenly Emperor's calendar.

They suffered, they were in pain, they resisted, and then they were beaten into submission.

Time and again, from the initial anger and resentment, to the later numbness and habituation, and now to... anticipation.

For so many years, they dared not fall into a deep sleep, for fear they would never wake up.

Over the years, they have lived in constant fear and trepidation, always afraid of making mistakes and being held accountable.

Hundreds of thousands of years of torment, hundreds of thousands of years of waiting.

Fortunately, the hard times are over and the good times are finally here.

How could they not be excited? If the current situation weren't so bad, they would have been shouting excitedly.

That's hundreds of thousands of years!

They were no longer unregistered residents of the Origin Realm, no longer reviled parasites in the forbidden zone.

They became the Heavenly Emperors of Heaven, rightfully and legitimately.

The bullying and beatings I endured in the past were not in vain.

Their past contributions were not in vain; they even have the chance to become immortals. How wonderful!

The group led by the Ancient Emperor of Taiyuan trembled, bowed deeply, and their voices were hoarse: "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor! We swear to follow you to the death!"

All the supreme beings in the forbidden zones had tears in their eyes, some even trembling all over, too excited to speak.

Jiang Hao smiled slightly as he watched their performance.

He could probably guess what this group of people were thinking.

It seems that my taming has been quite effective. This is how you deal with the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone: keep hitting him hard with a big stick until he submits and is terrified, then give him a carrot.

It would be best to give them ten sticks and a carrot; only then will they truly be convinced.

The supreme beings of the forbidden zone must be dealt with in this way; ordinary people and ordinary methods simply cannot deal with this group of arrogant, conceited, and ruthless individuals.

The supreme beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm also bowed in gratitude.

The Crimson Sun Immortal General hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Heavenly Emperor, what about those powerhouses who haven't reached the Supreme level? For example, Saints and Quasi-Emperors. Do they have the qualifications and hope to go to the Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Hao with curiosity, clearly also concerned about this issue.

There are too few Supreme Beings. The Immortal Realm is so vast, it's impossible for it to only have Supreme Beings, right? That would be too empty and desolate.

Jiang Hao nodded, "Of course, even sages with merit can ascend to the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm will give everyone a chance."

There are quite a few people who have risen from saints to quasi-emperors. In fact, saints are not weak. As long as they pass the test, they can naturally enter the immortal realm and contribute to its development.

Jiang Hao would naturally not stand in the way of this; everything is for development and for the sake of talent.

"Everyone in the Heavenly Court, your primordial spirits can also ascend to the Great Luo Heaven and enjoy the nourishment of incense and faith."

Jiang Hao gave everyone another piece of good news.

This evolution not only affected the human realm and the immortal realm, but also the Great Luo Heaven.

The Great Luo Heaven of today is similar to the divine realm in Earth's legends.

Once the primordial spirit enters, one can cultivate the divine path, condense a divine position, and ensure that incense offerings never cease and the divine body never withers.

Even if the physical body decays, as long as the divine position remains, it will endure forever.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

The path of the gods is a completely new one, and since the Heavenly Emperor has spoken of it, it must be good.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and waved: "Let's go take a look."

Before their eyes flashed, they found themselves in the Great Luo Heaven.

Everyone was stunned. The Great Luo Heaven before them was completely different from before.

The sky is no longer an empty void, but a vast sea of ​​stars, dazzling with starlight, each star like a divine kingdom.

The land is vast and boundless, with mountains, rivers, palaces, and pavilions—it has everything.

The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost solidified; taking a breath made one's primordial spirit leap with joy.

In the distance, sacred mountains float in mid-air, with golden divine light shooting up from their peaks. These are pillars of light formed from incense offerings, connecting the prayers of countless believers on earth.

Most striking was the enormous halo in the sky, slowly rotating and showering down endless divine radiance. Each ray of divine light that touched one's body nourished one's primordial spirit, as if countless people were chanting prayers in one's ear.

"This...this is the evolved Great Luo Heaven?" The Ancient Emperor of Taiyuan stared wide-eyed.

Jiang Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and slowly spoke:

"The Great Luo Heaven retains all its previous functions while adding new ones. Once the primordial spirit enters, one can cultivate the divine path."

Jiang Hao raised his right hand, and a golden light appeared in his palm, from which countless prayers could be faintly heard.

"The core of Shinto is faith. When all beings are grateful to you and worship you, their wishes will gather on you. You gather these wishes to build your divine position. The higher the divine position, the more wishes it can bear and the stronger it is."

He clenched his five fingers, and golden light scattered, turning into specks of light rain.

"The cultivation method is very simple. First, obtain a title from the Heavenly Court, and then condense a divine position in the Great Luo Heaven. This is your foundation."

"Second, accumulate incense offerings and believers in the human world. The more believers there are and the more devout they are, the more abundant your vow power will be. Third, temper your divine body with the power of your vows. If your divine body does not wither and your primordial spirit does not perish, even if your physical body decays, as long as your divine position remains and the incense offerings continue, you will live forever."

Taixu Immortal Lord pondered: "From this perspective, the path of gods is quite interesting. It is indeed a very good path. The path of gods does not require high aptitude, but it does require temperament and management skills. It is not easy to make people willingly worship you."

Jiang Hao nodded: "That's right. The Divine Path is a completely new path, suitable for cultivators whose lifespan is about to end and who have no hope of walking the mortal immortal path or the true immortal path. It does not rely on talent, but only on believers. As long as you can protect a region and benefit all living beings, incense will naturally come."

There are some records about Shinto, both in past lives and in this world.

This is indeed a fairly common path of cultivation, with potential, but it has many limitations.

Jiang Hao doesn't plan to cultivate because he has better options, but he will consider them.

The Ancient Emperor of Taiyuan's eyes lit up: "Then wouldn't I be able to manifest my divine power in the human realm, help people overcome disasters and difficulties, and in return, receive their offerings?"

"Yes," Jiang Hao said calmly, "but you cannot force or deceive anyone. Anyone who violates this rule will be stripped of their divine position and annihilated, body and soul."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that the Heavenly Emperor was not joking.

Everyone completely abandoned any thoughts of taking shortcuts. In this world, trying to deceive the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor? It was too difficult.

Jiang Hao continued, "Now the three realms stand side by side, and the three paths coexist. The mortal path to immortality is in the human realm, the true immortal path is in the immortal realm, and the divine path is in the Great Luo Heaven. All living beings choose their own path and accept their own destiny."

A solemn atmosphere filled the hall.

Everyone instantly felt that the future was full of hope, and that no matter how talented they were, there was always a way to go.

Those cultivators who were once in despair now have hope.

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise and benevolent!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.

"Having explained the benefits, the next step is to outline the requirements and responsibilities everyone will bear," Jiang Hao continued.

"The Immortal Realm and the Great Luo Heaven conduct an assessment every ten thousand years. The capable are promoted, while those who fail are demoted to the mortal realm."

"Sages who pioneered the world of chaos can exchange their achievements for an extension of their lifespan."

As Jiang Hao spoke, he looked at the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, such as the Ancient Emperor of Taiyuan and the Golden Roc Emperor: "You are the main force in opening up the Chaos, so you must set a good example."
