Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

Shuangye was stunned, and her hand, which was gripping the steering wheel, trembled slightly.

The barrage of questions left Shuangye bewildered.

Luo Tian's words, spoken so casually, shattered the perceptions she had formed from childhood, as if showing her a completely new world, a world diametrically opposed to her own understanding.

Having been raised as a palace maid since childhood, Shimoya has never actually known the real world.

In her eyes, royalty, nobility, honor, and loyalty were everything.

From childhood, everyone instilled in her the idea that nobles and royalty created the prosperous world we have today.

It was the compassion of the royal family and nobles that gave these ordinary people a place to live.

In her mind, loyalty to Yin Qianyu meant loyalty to the royal family, and also loyalty to the entire aristocratic class.

After Yin Qianyu fled the capital due to the palace coup caused by the Immortal Duke, she took charge of palace affairs as the head of the royal maids and suppressed the turmoil caused by the entire palace.

At the same time, she began to interact with the newly rich class as Yin Qianyu's personal maid, and took the initiative to give up some of the political views put forward by Yin Qianyu in order to help Yin Qianyu gain more support from the nobility and return to the court.

Finally, even two days before Yin Qianyu returned to the palace, she personally led people to kill Yin Qianyu's only cousin, wiping out the collateral bloodline of the Yin family, all to prevent the nobles from resorting to desperate measures to delay Yin Qianyu's ascension to the throne and to choose another member of the Yin clan to become emperor.

She was loyal to Yin Qianyu, maintained the stability of the royal family, and protected the interests of the nobility; she did everything she believed she could do.

In the end, however, the royal family abandoned her, the nobles hated her actions, and even Yin Qianyu, whom she had always been loyal to, chose to banish her to her husband in name only.

She couldn't understand why Yin Qianyu had banished her, believing it was because she had killed many members of the Yin clan and had connections with various nobles.

She wanted to defend herself, but as a maid, she had no choice but to obey Yin Qianyu's orders.

However, deep down, she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

However, as she interacted with Luo Tian, ​​a world he had never noticed before unfolded before her eyes, and she felt confused.

"Your Highness abandoned me, is it really just because I secretly slaughtered the Yin clan's bloodline, going against Your Highness's wishes?"

Or am I trying to persuade His Highness to choose the idea of ​​peace and compromise?

Silence reigned inside the magic-powered hovercar, with only the slightest noise coming from the engine that powered by magic energy.

Time passed slowly, and after a while, a calm voice broke the silence inside the car.

"You should know which powerful figures are behind the Kendo Association, right?"

A strange look flickered in Luo Tian's eyes. He ignored Shuang Ye's inner confusion and said directly:

"Take me there, and I will show you the reality of this starry world."

Chapter Ninety-Two: They're all trash!

"On the surface, the Kendo Association belongs to the Imperial Research Institute No. 3. It is an organization under the Institute No. 3 that trains talents to conduct research on the extraordinary system."

The purpose of the Third Research Institute establishing the Kendo Association was to explore a path to godhood belonging to the extraordinary system of Kendo.

Frost Night, driving the magic-powered hovercar, spoke softly to Luo Tian.

"The path to godhood?"

Luo Tian keenly grasped the key point in Shuang Ye's words.

Nodding slightly, Frosty Night added:

"The extraordinary is divided into six realms, and above the sixth realm is the realm of gods."

However, breaking through to the sixth realm of demigods and entering the realm of gods is not easy.

"First, after reaching the limit of the sixth realm of demigod, one will condense divinity and use it as a catalyst to ignite the divine fire."

Those who reach this level are the limit of the mortal world and can be called gods in the present world. Their every move contains the true meaning of heaven and earth, and their strength is far greater than that of demigods.

However, merely igniting the divine fire is not enough to ascend to the realm of gods. Mortals and gods in the present world must also obtain divine office to achieve the status of true gods.

Based on Shuangye's words, Luo Tian deduced:

"Is the path to godhood they're researching related to the so-called priesthood?"

Frosty Night nodded slightly.

“There are generally three types of clergy.”

The first type is the divine offices that were created at the beginning of the world. These divine offices are mostly manifestations of natural laws such as the sky, earth, ocean, wind, fire, thunder, and lightning. The strongest people who ascended to godhood by relying on natural divine offices control the power of heaven and earth and are the most powerful group of true gods.

The second type is the divine office of civilization. This type of divine office originated from the process of civilization's evolution. War, killing, love, poetry... This type of divine office is closely related to civilization, but how the divine office was born and acquired is a secret known only to the gods.

The third type is the creation of divine offices, which has no clear definition and covers a very wide range.

One of the most well-known ways to obtain a divine position comes from a fantasy civilization and is known as preaching.

Preaching involves spreading ideas, beliefs, and knowledge... but not all of these can successfully unite the clergy.

After thousands of years of exploration, the empire finally discovered a shortcut: to develop a transcendent system that could lead to godhood in the mortal world and then spread it in another world.

Once the extraordinary system gains sufficient recognition and is refined and deduced by countless people, it can condense into divine offices.

The martial gods who appeared in the history of the Great Yin Empire were the culmination of this path, which is known as the Path to Godhood.

While recounting secrets known only to the empire's high command, Shuangye subtly observed Luo Tian's expression.

To her disappointment, Luo Tian showed no shock at learning about the path to godhood. He simply rested his right hand on his cheek and asked calmly:

"You mean, the Kendo Association is searching for transmigrators from other worlds who have mastered the art of swordsmanship in order to study the swordsmanship systems of different worlds?"

Could they be the foundation for creating a transcendent sword system suitable for dissemination, thereby consolidating divine authority and allowing someone to ascend to the realm of true godhood?

Frosty Night's tone carried a hint of reverence:

"This is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Great Yin Empire in thousands of years. Although very few people are able to walk the path of becoming a god, it is still a great invention that changes the world."

Before the path to godhood was discovered, the vast majority of gods and humans in the mortal world could only remain trapped at the very last step before becoming true gods.

Ultimately, one must either explore the newly born world in an attempt to obtain a divine office governed by rules, or submit to the true god who has already established a divine kingdom, and ascend to a minor divine power as a subordinate god.

"The emergence of the path to godhood has given those powerful beings in the human-god realm of the present world a chance to break free from their constraints and achieve the position of true god!"

The Great Yin Empire firmly established itself as one of the three great empires precisely because of the existence of the Path to Godhood.

However, Luo Tian, ​​whose expression remained calm and composed, gave a brief evaluation of the path to godhood described by Shuang Ye.

"What a pathetic act!"

Shuangye was completely stunned. In her moment of distraction, the magic-powered hovercar almost crashed into a building in front of her. It wasn't until the alarm inside the car pulled her back to reality.

Luo Tian's previous words had already shaken Shuang Ye, but now those arrogant words confirmed that Luo Tian was just an arrogant and conceited madman.

This is one of the greatest achievements of the Great Yin Empire's research, but thousands of years have diminished its value as a secret; otherwise, even she wouldn't have known about it so easily.

Frosty Night's voice contained disappointment, and her tone carried a hint of coldness:

Why would the master say that?

"These powerful figures at the top of the empire plunder the knowledge of transmigrators from other worlds, patch it up themselves, and then claim it as their own system, hoping to use it to become gods. Don't you find that laughable?"

Luo Tian crossed his fingers in front of him and asked Shuang Ye:

Do you know what preaching truly means?

Shuangye frowned slightly and shook her head.

"In the beginning of time, who transmitted the Way?" The original meaning of transmitting the Way is to spread the Way and principles, to verify oneself with Heaven and Earth, and to benefit the world while spreading theories and knowledge.

And what have those insects of your Great Yin Empire done?

Whose teachings did they preach? And to whom did they preach them? Which of the truly needy, underprivileged people received help from their preaching?

These words struck Shuangye's already fragile worldview like a heavy hammer, leaving her in a daze.

She instinctively wanted to question Luo Tian, ​​but the reality before her left her speechless. First, there was the hypocrisy and filth hidden beneath the nobility's glory, which imprisoned the future; then there was the absurdity and ugliness represented by the path to godhood, hailed as one of the Great Yin Empire's greatest research achievements.

For Shuangye at this stage, everything Luo Tian told her seriously conflicted with her worldview, which she had cultivated over the past ten years. Shuangye felt as if her worldview was slowly collapsing.

Luo Tian didn't care about Shuang Ye's thoughts at this moment. He revealed that the essence of the path to godhood was that disciplining the little maid in front of him was just a whim.

There are far too many outrageous things happening in the Great Yin Empire and even the Star World. The path to godhood is just the tip of the iceberg.

If the little maid can be properly trained, then guide her appropriately. If she has been brainwashed and become obsessed by the nobles, then hand her back to Yin Qianyu for handling. There's nothing to worry about.

His real purpose, of course, was to find the person who orchestrated the Yasuo assassination incident that morning.

If we simply couldn't find the culprit, we could wait and see. But now that we've learned something from Shuangye, we naturally have to deal with it as soon as possible.

As a practitioner of "Lunyu", Luo Tian absolutely would not allow those he had "heard the Dao in the morning" to live to the next day.

And most importantly,

"On my very first day in the capital, they sent a swordsman at the Saint level to assassinate me. If I had stayed a few more days, wouldn't I have been attacked by demigods and true gods all at once?"

I'm not afraid of facing the enemy head-on, but my high-attack, low-defense physique can't withstand underhanded tactics. It's better to just find a powerful person to make an example of and deter others!

After 500 years of waiting, Luo Tian firmly believed that he was not following the leveling-up path.

The scenario of "hitting the small ones and inviting the big ones" doesn't apply to him. Why dawdle and wait for the other side to come and cause trouble when he can wipe out the enemy base in one fell swoop?

The magic-powered hovercar continued to move forward, but the height of the surrounding buildings was also decreasing rapidly, and the tall city wall could be vaguely seen in the distance.

The location of this third research institute is almost on the outskirts of the capital, making it quite remote.

As the magic-powered train slowly descended, Luo Tian looked around at his surroundings and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"It's a place with excellent feng shui!"

Since it's a place with excellent feng shui, it's suitable to bury some people underneath.

Stepping out of the car, Luo Tian casually took the magic sword and knight that he had left inside.

Taking two steps forward, Luo Tian suddenly realized that Shuang Ye hadn't followed. At this moment, the beautiful and elegant maid seemed to have lost her soul and was still sitting in the driver's seat.

No one can lead the way, that won't do.

Luo Tian frowned slightly, wondering if he had offended Shuang Ye with his words earlier.

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Tian said earnestly to Shuang Ye:

"Actually, I misspoke just now. It's not that this so-called path to godhood is worthless."

A glint flashed in Shuangye's eyes as she looked at Luo Tian.

"The path to godhood is just a pattern or a shortcut that those people have researched; it is not inherently sinful."

But apart from that, everyone else, including those who study this so-called path to godhood and those who try to become gods through this path, are utter trash!
