80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled

Chapter 42: The Gods in the Eyes of Mortals

The Xuankong Temple and Shaolin Temple…

These two holy lands of Buddhism had relented under the pressure of a Human God.

They had no intentions of resisting.

Meanwhile, everyone in Jiangnan was still filled with anticipation.

Those who didn’t go to the two buddhist sects to watch the show were waiting for the results.

They wanted to see how the buddhist sects would humiliate the Yuhua God Dynasty’s envoys.

They also wanted to see if the two buddhists sects would tear apart Emperor Ming’s imperial decree into pieces.

But when the news came…

Those who heard it were immediately stupefied.

Their bodies trembled as if they had gone senile.

A Human God!

That was a Human God!

Such an existence actually appeared just like that!

In an instant, the world was thrown into a commotion.

It was as if a huge mountain had crashed into a calm lake.

As if mountains were collapsing and tsunamis were raging.

It was like burning oil was poured on everyone.

The entire world descended into an uproar upon hearing this news.

A Human God had appeared in the Yuhua God Dynasty.

This was the first Human God in 1,500 years.

There was no doubt that there was no second Human God in this world yet.

In the past 1,500 years, a Human God had never once appeared.

The legends of this realm had already been forgotten.

Many people treated this realm as a myth and a legend.

They were unwilling to believe that it even existed.

With the passing of so many years, the people were now less inclined to believe in the existence of Human Gods in the past.

But after that rain, the first Human God made his presence known with the help of two paintings that suppressed the two buddhist sects. Such news finally convinced everyone that Human Gods had once existed.

Moreover, they finally believed that there was a Human God Realm.

Those at the third step of the Martial Sage Realm couldn’t help but exclaim when they heard this news.

“Why let such a legend appear in the same period as me?!”

They only managed to reach the third step of the Martial Sage Realm after that rain.

Even if there were others who were at the fourth step, there could only be a handful of them.

As for the Human God Realm?

They didn’t even dare to think about it.

Everything that happened so far felt so surreal.

…

Great Yan Dynasty, Temple of the Holy Maiden.

The Holy Maiden clad in red stood tall, her eyes were bright as she looked at the letter in her hand.

She couldn’t help but be surprised. “I never thought that there would be such a genius in this world. He became a Human God just after the rain.”

“Even I—isn’t that fast…”

“This is indeed a new world that is full of life.”

The cultivation base of the Holy Maiden also increased at breakneck speeds.

She was now on the fourth step of the Martial Sage Realm—the Great Sage step.

However, she was still far from reaching the Human God Realm.

“Unfortunately for you, my experience is abundant. It won’t be a problem for me to catch up and surpass you.”

“You’ve just ascended to the Human God Realm…”

“Having just recently broken through, your cultivation speed will undoubtedly slow down,” the Holy Maiden said with confidence.

She truly believed that it wouldn’t take that long for her to arrive at the Human God Realm.

“When I make my breakthrough, every flower will bloom and their fragrance will pervade the world!”

The Holy Maiden vowed.

…

Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital.

Lin Tianyuan was stunned and overjoyed when he received the news from Jiangnan.

His Uncle was actually a Human God.

This was simply terrifying.

His trump card was even more powerful now.

Lin Tianyuan immediately left the Forbidden City and rushed to the remote Cold Palace to visit and congratulate his Uncle.

“Nephew congratulates Uncle on becoming a Human God in this Mortal Realm.”

But this time, he was rejected.

The door to the Cold Palace didn’t open.

Furthermore, Lin Jiufeng also told him. “From today onwards, your father’s reforms are now in place. The temples and monasteries have been demolished and the residents of the Empire are now living in peace. Everything is moving towards the completion of your father’s dream.”

“From now on, you will have to depend on yourself.”

Lin Tianyuan stared blankly.

His excitement instantly vanished.

He knelt outside the Cold Palace. He couldn’t help but cry out. “Is Uncle going to abandon me?”

“You have already matured.”

“You can’t always depend on me whenever you encounter problems anymore. You don’t have to come here in the future. I can protect you for a while, but I can’t protect you forever. You are the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, not me!” Lin Jiufeng’s cold voice sounded in his ears.

Lin Tianyuan knew that there was no way he could change his Uncle’s mind.

Come to think of it, he had troubled his Uncle quite a few times in the past few years.

Whenever he encountered danger, the first thing he thought of was his Uncle.

With Lin Jiufeng around, he felt extremely confident.

As a result, he was becoming more and more dependent on Lin Jiufeng.

Without Lin Jiufeng’s support, he started to panic as his breathing quickened.

But he seemed to have forgotten that Lin Jiufeng had taken care of him on the account that he was of Emperor Yuan’s bloodline.

“Uncle, please take care of yourself. I will not disturb you anymore.”

Lin Tianyuan kowtowed and left.

His greatest trump card was no longer useful.

He had to go back and properly manage the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Fortunately, although he was unable to get his Uncle’s help, he was still able to use Lin Jiufeng’s name to deter and frighten other people.

In addition, he was the only one who knew about this matter.

In the Cold Palace, the white cat looked at Lin Tianyuan’s back and wrote on the courtyard walls. “Are you not going to help him anymore?”

Lin Jiufeng nodded his head. “Unless there’s a great danger, I won’t help.”

“You could have told him about this.” The white cat wrote crookedly.

“If I told him about it, he will definitely become confident and think that he could act without any worries since I am backing him. That’s not good at all.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

This was why Lin Jiufeng didn’t give Lin Tianyuan any hope that he would help the latter. This way, Lin Tianyuan would have to work hard for the sake of the Empire’s stability.

“You broke through to the Human God Realm?” The white cat asked the crucial question.

Its eyes were bright and sparkling as it looked at Lin Jiufeng in excitement

A Human God!

This was the same realm as its master, the Demon Lord.

“That’s right.” Lin Jiufeng admitted.

“When did you break through? The white cat asked curiously.

“On that rainy night,” Lin Jiufeng said after some thought.

That rain was a blessing to everyone in the world.

Those asleep that night was still nourished by the rain.

But cultivators obtained the greatest benefits.

Lin Jiufeng was the one who benefited the most.

He passed the threshold of Fish Leap and Great Sage…

To ascend to the Human God Realm.

But this was also because Lin Jiufeng had accumulated a lot of experience.

The two great demonic techniques, various sword techniques, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist…

These were Lin Jiufeng’s trump cards for breaking through to the Human God realm.

“What has been different since you’ve become a Human God?” The white cat wrote.

Lin Jiufeng thought for a moment before he explained…

“The Human God Realm is different from all the other realms due to the addition of the power of the Divine Soul. With this, one can look at the world differently than others. Furthermore, Human God Realm cultivators can also use the ‘Force’.”

The name of Human God was just for ordinary people.

The term, ‘Human God’ was coined by the ordinary people back then.

An ordinary person could at most live for a hundred years or so, while a Human God could live for at least eight hundred years.

In fact, there was even a record of the longest-living Human God. That Human God managed to live for 1,800 years after using all sorts of methods to extend his lifespan.

There was also the divine soul. With his eyes closed, he could roam the world and pry into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

There was also the Divine Soul. With his eyes closed, he could freely roam the world and pry into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

He could also finally utilize the ‘Force’.

With a flick of his wrist, mountains would collapse and rivers would flow backwards.

To mortals, what was such an existence if not a god?
