Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Purple aura clears the way, and the five aggregates cover the sky.

At the moment the ascension ceremony began, the Apocalypse Domain, the Western Spirit Domain, the Heavenly Inheritance Domain...

Strange phenomena appeared simultaneously in every major domain.

The sunset glow transformed into five colors, with purple hues spreading across the heavens and earth.

In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), nearly a million shrines lit up simultaneously, their five-colored radiance painting the sky.

Tiny points of starlight rose from the shrine, like fireflies rushing towards the phantom in the high sky.

As the first deity in the world, and having gathered the faith of the entire Nine Realms, the ascension ceremony of the Five Spirit Mystic Maidens shocked the entire world from the very beginning.

There is no divine path in the Nine Realms, but Mu An spent decades gathering the faith of all living beings by taking advantage of the meteor calamity, and forcibly opened up a new path.

Having prepared so much and gathered such a vast amount of faith, Mu An did not want to create an ordinary god. He wanted to do it all at once and directly create a supreme god who would control the Nine Realms and the Five Elements and be comparable to a sacred beast.

As the phantom rose in the heavens, the divine path of the nine realms was also born.

The atmosphere between heaven and earth changed at this moment, and an invisible pressure swept across the clouds and spread throughout the human world.

The wind stopped and the clouds dispersed, the mountains became solemn, and the lake surface became still.

Birds swooped down from the sky, tigers lay prostrate on the ground, and fish gathered on the surface of the water...

Ordinary people either close their eyes or kneel on the ground, praying devoutly to the divine miracles in the heavens.

Wisps of light emanated from their bodies and drifted towards the illusory figures in the heavens.

……

In the Nine Realms, the power of faith is negligible, extremely weak compared to the universe itself, but this does not mean that this power is entirely useless.

If these small amounts accumulate and the base is expanded to tens or hundreds of billions, this force can become incredibly powerful, thereby influencing the authority of heaven and earth.

Strictly speaking, the power system of the Nine Domains is severely distorted.

From the beginning of cultivation to the Celestial Martial Saint, the progress is a normal, gradual process. But after reaching the Celestial Martial Saint level, everything changes.

The existence of terrestrial immortals completely overturned the original cultivation system.

Because they can directly control the power of heaven and earth, terrestrial immortals far surpass celestial martial saints in both the level of life and the level of power.

The two are not like a progressive relationship, but rather like they skipped several levels and entered a brand new field ahead of time.

This enormous gap is also the reason why the vast majority of terrestrial immortals in the Nine Realms can hardly make any progress in their entire lives.

The unique nature of the Nine Realms allowed them to enter a realm that should not belong to them, granting them power far exceeding their own.

Their understanding of the Great Dao was insufficient to sustain their progress; they could only explore within the authority bestowed upon them by Heaven and Earth.

Against this backdrop, the power of Shinto appears rather cumbersome, neither useful nor worth discarding—truly a chicken rib among chicken ribs.

Even if one takes the path of divinity to its extreme, it is nothing more than controlling a certain Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and is no different from a terrestrial immortal.

However, its difficulty is so high that it is almost impossible to achieve.

All the terrestrial immortals throughout history gave up after trying it.

None of the many races have conducted in-depth research on the path of the gods.

But all of this has changed now. For Yu Mu'an, the existence of the Divine Path has shown him new possibilities.

A rather troublesome possibility, but one that can bypass innate talent and comprehension.

Humans have never been the only species in the world. Any living being with its own will can contribute to the birth of a deity.

No one knows exactly how many living beings there are in the entire Nine Realms.

What is truly rare is the gathering of faith from all the spirits of the nine realms.

In the past, no one had achieved this goal until the meteor descended and Mu An took advantage of the cataclysmic disaster to spread the faith of the Five Spirit Mystic Maidens throughout the world.

A vast faith, a well-formed Great Dao, the protection of the strongest beings, the Five Spirit Immortal Realm as the foundation of the divine kingdom, and the divine objects of heaven and earth nurtured over countless ages...

When all these conditions are met, the first god in the world will be born.

……

Under the vast sky, Mu An quietly watched the gradually solidifying phantom in the heavens above, and laughed heartily.

Last time, he was still weak, and even though he did his best, he couldn't save Xiaohe and Xiaolü's lives, leaving only regret.

This time, standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, he finally retained what he wanted...

With the rest of my life ahead of me, I finally have more possibilities.

The peasant woman beside her closed her eyes and prayed devoutly to the gods.

"Great Goddess of Mystery, please bless my child so that he can overcome his illness and grow up healthy... I don't want him to seek revenge, nor do I want him to achieve great things like his father... I only ask that he live a peaceful and safe life..."

……

High in the sky, the thousand-foot-tall illusory image of the Dharma became increasingly solid. With the Five Spirit Immortal Realm as its foundation, a boundless divine kingdom was slowly being born.

Towering pavilions and palaces, cascading waterfalls, and a colorful rainbow bridge spanning the lake...

Five flags stand in different parts of the fairyland, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flow endlessly within the fairyland.

The five elements interact and generate each other, creating countless wonders.

The Five Spirits Wonderland, forged from the essence of meteorites and imbued with immense spiritual power, is undoubtedly a natural divine kingdom.

The faith of all living beings gathered from all directions of heaven and earth provides those who aspire to godhood with an opportunity to seize power.

The grand formation personally set up by Mu An also demonstrated its power at this moment. The vast and inexhaustible power of the five elements transformed into a huge barrier, enveloping the entire Five Spirits Immortal Realm and blocking all external probing.

Apart from the old celestial master on Mount Sixiang, no one in the entire Nine Realms has the ability to see through the great formation and understand the situation inside the Five Spirit Immortal Realm.

The old master would naturally not do anything that might cause Mu An to misunderstand.

As for Mu An himself, because of Mu Ling'er's previous preparations, he did not go against Mu Ling'er's wishes to see what was happening in the Five Spirits Immortal Realm.

In Mu An's eyes, as long as Mu Ling'er can ascend to godhood, some minor details are not worth caring about.

……

Five Spirits Wonderland.

In the center of the towering temple, the protagonist who has ascended to godhood sits on the edge of the celestial pool, looking up at the illusory image above the celestial realm.

Today, Mu Ling'er is dressed in a colorful robe, her two fair feet resting in the pool, gently swaying with the rhythm, splashing up puddles of water.

Mu Ling'er held a lantern that shimmered with five-colored spiritual light in her hand. As she swayed her body, the lantern would occasionally sway and make a crisp sound.

A hundred meters directly in front of the pool is the statue made from the essence of a meteorite.

If you look closely, you'll find that the statues in the main hall are exactly the same in height and appearance as the people by the pool.

As points of spiritual light gathered from heaven and earth, the statue became increasingly lifelike.

If it weren't for the five radiant immortal swords hanging upside down in the hall, sealing the statue from different directions, everything would appear harmonious and natural.

Unfortunately, the unfolding sword formation already revealed too many problems.

This was accompanied by Mu Ling'er shaking the soul lamp.

Half of the power of authority gathered from heaven and earth flowed into the statue, and the other half flowed into the soul lamp along with the pull of the energy.

Mu Ling'er stood by the pond, quietly observing everything that was happening, waving the lantern in her hand.

As the authority representing the five elements of heaven and earth slowly descended, a broken divine essence was conceived within the soul lamp.

Strands of spiritual energy flowed into Mu Ling'er's body through the soul lamp, causing her to frown and tap her head repeatedly.

With each heavy blow, Mu Ling'er sank into the pool, and it took her a while to stand up again.

"Thank goodness I didn't believe Da'an's nonsense. It's only half a divine spark, and it's even while his spirituality is being extracted, yet so much information is flooding into my head. My whole brain is being occupied by those annoying prayers..."

"If I were to ascend to godhood according to his wishes, I'd probably not even recognize myself in a year or two at most..."

As she watched the half-divine spark gradually materialize within the lantern, a glimmer of light appeared in Mu Ling'er's eyes.

She gazed at the divine essence within the soul lamp and murmured softly.

"However, this divine essence is so powerful, even more useful than I imagined... Well, a little more time is always good. My little apprentice is really hard to trust."
