God!

What is a god?

No matter which ancient star of immortal cultivation, no matter which world, no matter what cultivation system, there is a similar or near-identical definition for a god. That is the authority to wield the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The power that enforces the laws of flame is the Fire God! The power that enforces the laws of water is the Water God! A god is an enforcer of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, an incarnation of the Law, a representative of the Dao.

Although the authority attained by relying on the Laws of Heaven and Earth is not as free as cultivation itself, and can even be revoked, deification has never been a simple matter. The one who deifies must have an extremely deep comprehension and understanding of the essence and intricacies of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. They also need powerful Mana to possibly perform a deification. In the Realm of Firmament Myriad Gods, only those at least at the level of Divine Monarchs have this capability. And each act of deification inevitably causes a great loss of Yuan Qi, requiring a retreat for decades—or even a hundred years in terms of Divine Sense—to recover.

The youth before them was clearly just an Innate Great Grandmaster, equivalent to the pinnacle of Qi Refinement in the Immortal Cultivation World, and he was tens of thousands of miles away from the level of a Divine Monarch. And now he was claiming that he could perform deification!? How ludicrous!! That was utterly impossible!! Su Ying simply couldn't believe Qin Heng's words, as they were beyond her comprehension.

"You don't believe me," Qin Heng read the doubt in Su Ying's eyes and chuckled. "Actually, whether you believe me or not is irrelevant, as I have no intention of deifying you. You don't have that qualification yet."

The honor of being deified by Xuantian Immortal Emperor was immense; what virtues or abilities did Su Ying, a mere Disciple of the Moon God Sect, have to receive such a distinction?

"Then what's the point of me serving you?" Su Ying looked at Qin Heng and said, "Without a physical body to possess, my soul body will scatter and perish within three days!"

"Cleanse Dust!" Qin Heng suddenly raised his hand and pointed northwest.

What was he doing? Su Ying was puzzled; she sensed no power in Qin Heng's action.

Overhead, the sky was still covered in dark clouds, the surroundings gloomy—a phenomenon caused by her soul body. Now, there was not the slightest change. What's going on? She was a bit stunned.

However, the next instant, CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

From the heavens above came the sound of metal clashing, and a blinding golden light flew from the horizon—from the direction of Dongpu City!

Su Ying's expression changed drastically. She could clearly feel the terrifying pressure contained within the golden light. It was extremely powerful and oppressively strong against soul bodies. She even felt that merely looking at it would cause her soul to scatter!

"Ahhhhh! What is this, what is this?!" Su Ying screamed in extreme horror, her cry piercing and chilling. Her soul body trembled with fear, attempting to flee.

However, under the cover of Qin Heng's Divine Sense, all directions were sealed by invisible forces of Divine Sense. No matter where Su Ying tried to flee, she would bounce back as if hitting an invisible wall.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

As howling gusts of wind swept through, the golden light descended from the sky, condensing into a human form in front of Qin Heng.

She was an old lady dressed in a golden Robe and wearing a golden crown. With a kindly expression, she held a golden Magic Wand and bowed respectfully to Qin Heng, saying, "Cleanse Dust pays respects to Immortal Venerable."

"Ahhh!!" Su Ying was screaming, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief and shouting, "Qin Heng! Qin Xuantian! Who is she, who is she!! What is this power? It's so cold, it hurts so much!!"

Golden Mother Cleanse Dust was a deity upon whom Qin Heng had conferred godhood, holding the authority to drive away ghosts, banish evil, and nourish life. For a soul body like Su Ying, facing Golden Mother Cleanse Dust was like encountering a natural enemy. She would be involuntarily overwhelmed by immense terror, lose all willpower, and her spirit would be tormented. Moreover, the Magic Wand in Golden Mother Cleanse Dust's hand also greatly restrained soul bodies and spirits. Su Ying was now very close to this Magic Wand. Its power would erode her soul body, making her feel an excruciating pain every moment, as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows.

"This is the Divine Envoy I have chosen for you," Qin Heng looked at Golden Mother Cleanse Dust and said, "You are getting old. Although you have a Divine Body, you don't need to handle everything personally. This is the helper I've found for you."

As he spoke, Qin Heng flicked his finger, drawing Mana from the void, condensing it into golden light that fell upon Su Ying's soul body.

BOOM!

The heavens and earth roared. Su Ying immediately felt lighter, and the agonizing pain she had felt before vanished in a flash. At the same time, she felt her body become much more solid, hardly any different from when she was alive. Inside her, there was an additional powerful force that harmonized seamlessly with the Laws of Heaven and Earth. However, she could also distinctly feel that this force was restrained by the very same Laws.

"This is... Divine Power!?" Su Ying looked at Qin Heng in disbelief and said, "You... you've truly deified me!?"

Her heart surged with shock. Deification!! A cultivator who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage had actually done it!! How was that possible!?

"Deification?" Qin Heng chuckled lightly and said indifferently, "I have already told you that you do not have the qualification for me to deify you. You are now her Divine Envoy, or to put it another way, a Servant."

With that, Qin Heng pointed at Golden Mother Cleanse Dust.

"Ah!?" Su Ying was a bit stunned. Seeing Golden Mother Cleanse Dust, she instinctively stepped back, still haunted by the torturous pain she had felt before.

"Many thanks, Immortal Venerable," Golden Mother Cleanse Dust bowed in gratitude, then turned to Su Ying and said, "You've been revived from death and even granted Divine Power. Why do you not thank the Immortal Venerable?"

"..." Su Ying was taken aback, took a deep breath, and said, "If it weren't for him, I could have seized a body and been reborn. Why would I need to be a god's Servant!!"

No sooner had she spoken...

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking Su Ying to the ground on the spot. Her Divine Body dissipated, turning her semi-transparent, and she could hardly maintain a solid form.

Having been endowed with Divine Power conferred by Qin Heng, she was required to respect him. Any sign of disrespect would be met with immediate lightning strikes.

"Cleanse Dust, take her back and educate her," Qin Heng said indifferently.

There was still some use for Su Ying, so he did not kill her for now. Her ability to come from the Realm of Firmament Myriad Gods meant that others might also find their way to Earth. Su Ying was bait. If more powerful cultivators from other worlds were to come, it would be exactly what Qin Heng desired. Killing foreign cultivators would trap the Spiritual Energy and Law contained within their bodies on Earth. This would accelerate the restoration of Earth's Spiritual Energy and make it easier for him to comprehend the Supreme Law.

Golden Mother Cleanse Dust said goodbye to Qin Heng and left with the unconscious Su Ying. Qin Heng glanced at Wu Yuqing, who was unconscious on the ground. He extended his hand, enveloping her in a ray of golden light, then leaped up and flew toward the Dongpu city center. Xia Shuang was still waiting there; he couldn't just leave her alone.

「Not long after Qin Heng left with Wu Yuqing from the Red Plank Pavilion」

A towering man with a fierce aura, accompanied by two voluptuous women, arrived at the Red Plank Pavilion's private room. He knocked out the manager and the counter girl, one punch each. He then did the same to Wen Du and Fang Quan.

In the end, only Xia Shuang remained, crouching in the corner, watching these three sudden intruders with sheer horror.

The man did not resemble a conventional Chinese person. The two women also carried an exotic charm, as if they came from the region of Southeast Asia.

"What... what do you want to do!?" Xia Shuang asked with a trembling voice. "I don't know you!!"

"We don't know you either." The man took out a switchblade. He gently pressed its tip against Xia Shuang's smooth neck and said with a smile, "If you have to blame someone, blame it on your friendship with Qin Xuantian!!"
