Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 706 - 319 God of Gods_2

It wasn’t until Shen Yuan’s plain words that she fully awoke.

"You overestimate the importance of your faith to Amaterasu. Amaterasu is an innate deity, enshrined by the Divinity Path Origin and recognized as the sovereign of heaven and earth by Ying Island.

She doesn’t need your faith, so she has never interfered with it, nor has she ever viewed you as tools for extracting faith.

If you can control your destiny with your strength and thereby nourish this world, it is more valuable to her than a plethora of mixed faiths."

Realizing this, Noro Mai finally chose to abandon her faith and put her whole heart into cultivation.

Besides, Noro Mai realized that Izanagi’s wild ambitions were almost undisguised, and the rest of the Amaterasu Miko were likely to suffer from Izanagi’s purge.

Thus, through the shrine as a medium, Noro Mai contacted all miko of the Amaterasu Grand Shrine and laid out the pros and cons to them, inviting them to come to Falling Clouds Temple for cultivation.

Naturally, her approach was rejected by the vast majority of the miko from the Amaterasu Grand Shrine; some even considered her a heretic who betrayed The gods.

But as time passed, some miko from the Amaterasu Grand Shrine mysteriously disappeared, and some were judged by the officials of Ying Island for absurd reasons. After losing the divine power bestowed by The gods, these miko finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

They began to converge inside Falling Clouds Temple, and some of them, persuaded by Noro Mai, began to try cultivation; while others still identified themselves as miko of Amaterasu and quietly awaited her awakening to cleanse the rebellious gods.

It was precisely because of this that Falling Clouds Temple maintained an appearance half made up of miko and half of cultivators.

As her mind quickly went over the events of recent months, Noro Mai felt a sense of peace as she sensed the Mana circulating within her.

After several months of cultivation, with the assistance of the dense Spirit Energy since the earth’s restoration and teachings from Shen Yuan, Noro Mai had successfully entered the Qi Training Stage.

Such a pace was unimaginable within the original cultivation system of Ying Island.

The Spirit Energy Tidal Surge had continued for a decade, and most cultivators following Ying Island’s original cultivation system had not reached the Qi Training Stage; those who stepped into the Spirit Transmutation Stage were even rarer.

Although the Mana of the Qi Training Stage was far less than what she once wielded as an Amaterasu Miko, this Mana was not gifted by The gods, nor could it be taken away by a divine being in a whim; it was a power truly her own.

Looking forward to the prospects of cultivation, Noro Mai felt increasingly expectant in her heart.

As she walked down the corridor, Noro Mai was preparing to return to her room to continue her cultivation, but the figure that appeared before her made her stop in her tracks.

In the courtyard ahead, Shen Yuan stood beneath a tree, gazing into Pingan Capital City’s distant bustle, his eyes reflecting thoughts unknown.

A flicker of joy immediately rose in Noro Mai’s heart.

Although Shen Yuan had taught her the ways of cultivation, it had only been during the first few days of Falling Clouds Temple’s establishment.

After passing on the basics of cultivation, Shen Yuan left Falling Clouds Temple, leaving only Bai Zhao, and the Black and White Impermanence, two High Gods, to instruct everyone in their cultivation.

For instance, the daily morning lessons were led by Bai Zhao.

Although this reincarnated Demon Saint was not deeply versed in the Human Clan’s cultivation methods, guiding lower-level cultivators below the Spirit Refining Stage was easy for him.

This also meant that after that, Noro Mai had not seen Shen Yuan.

Being able to see Shen Yuan again today was a delight for Noro Mai.

Stepping beneath the large tree, Noro Mai approached Shen Yuan and spoke softly:

"Mai pays respects to Venerable Supreme Taoist!"

During Shen Yuan’s absence, Noro Mai learned about the renown of the Supreme Taoist from Bai Zhao.

Out of respect and uncertainty in her heart, she no longer called Shen Yuan the Father of All Gods but instead addressed him as Supreme Taoist.

Shen Yuan turned his head to look at Noro Mai, and seeing her Qi Training Stage cultivation, he couldn’t help but show a trace of approval.

"Not bad!"

Shen Yuan commented.

Noro Mai naturally understood Shen Yuan’s meaning, and with a determined look, she replied:

"Thank you, Venerable Taoist, for your praise, but this is still far from enough!"

"The power of The gods didn’t come overnight; Mai still needs to work hard to control humanity’s own fate."

Shen Yuan shook his head gently.

"Those great gods, main gods you’ve seen, without exception, are ancient beings who have practiced for thousands of years.

To surpass them in cultivation within a short time is simply impossible."

Noro Mai’s face, which had been filled with excitement, suddenly froze as she heard Shen Yuan continue to speak:

"What’s more, you are currently only at the Qi Training Stage, and within this Falling Clouds Temple, the gods do not see you as a threat."

"But one day, if I were to leave, and you advanced beyond the Spirit Refining Stage, they would certainly see you as the greatest threat and would stop at nothing to kill you and sever your cultivation lineage."

A look of confusion and helplessness flashed in Noro Mai’s eyes as she had never considered the scenario Shen Yuan described during these days. Find adventures at novelbuddy

Instinctively, she believed that Shen Yuan would always help them until the Human Clan could truly break free from the gods’ domestication.

But Shen Yuan was ultimately not from Ying Island; his help in quelling the chaos in Hell had already been an enormous stroke of luck, how could she possibly hope for him to stay and protect the Human Clan forever?

Although she knew Shen Yuan had already helped enough, faced with the dangers involving the Human Clan, Noro Mai still couldn’t help but ask:

"Then what should we do?"

Shen Yuan smiled indifferently:

"I have said that I will teach you how to control everything in the ways of humanity, and the cultivation system is just a part of it."

"In the distant Great Xia, within the grotto heavens sacred land, and the Four Waterways Dragon Palace, the various divine systems possess the most powerful cultivators, but they are not the true masters of that vast land."

"The true rulers of the Human Clan are the dynasties that control humanity’s fate!"

"The Human Clan is a species cherished by Heaven and Earth, and when they gather, fortune is bestowed upon them."

"And those who can amass this fortune for their own use and protect the Human Clan against enemies from outside are known as ruling human Imperial Dynasties."

Noro Mai asked subconsciously, "Then the Ying Island Imperial Family..."

"They are but puppets controlled by the gods, not worthy of the title of Emperor."

"Does the Venerable Taoist mean for us to join the Great Xia Dynasty in order to use humanity’s fate to withstand the gods?"

Shen Yuan shook his head gently.

"Great Xia is tens of thousands of miles away from Ying Island, and without the means to open a spatial passage, crossing the sea requires an extremely long time."

"Moreover, with countless demonic beasts and Evil Gods in the outer seas, the risk of crossing the sea is anything but low, and the Great Xia, despite its strength, is beyond reach."

Noro Mai seemed to understand something, and gave Shen Yuan a solemn bow:

"Please teach me, Venerable Taoist!"

Shen Yuan wore a relieved smile.

"The method of cultivation can strengthen oneself, which is only the first step in controlling one’s destiny."

"The real key lies in gathering humanity’s fate to shield one’s kind from the invasion of outsiders."

"There is only one Mortal Emperor realm, but human Imperial Dynasties have long existed throughout the heavens."

"The core of a human Imperial Dynasty is not the Mortal Emperor, but rather in the concept of the ’Human Path’."

"As long as you can unite the people, where the hearts of the people go, the fortune of the Human Path can also withstand the gods!"

As his words fell, the world seemed to respond, and a thunderbolt laden with tremendous heavenly might tore through the firmament, crashing down towards Shen Yuan.

The thunder contained the will of all the deities born from this world through the ages; their will moved heaven and earth, roaring with thunder that trembled the very foundations of the world.

They had governed this world for tens of thousands of years; the Divinity Path had ruled everything here, with the Human Path being merely an appendage.

The will of the Divinity Path would not allow the rise of the Human Path; this divine punishment was proof of that.

"Venerable Taoist!"

A cry of alarm came from Noro Mai’s mouth as she tried to stop the descending thunder; but how could the speed of lightning be blocked by a mere Qi-training cultivator?

She could only watch helplessly as the divine fury-laden thunderbolt fell upon the utterly unguarded Shen Yuan, as if the very heavens trembled at the moment.

But when the thunder, carrying the will of the Divine System, touched Shen Yuan’s body, the roaring within the thunder suddenly turned to wails of lamentation, and the terrifying bolt dissipated in an instant.

For a moment, Noro Mai thought she saw the will of the Divine System, which had ruled Ying Island for countless years, prostrate at Shen Yuan’s feet.

He simply stood there, as if he were the God of Gods!
