【Fourth: sects and clans.】
【This type doesn’t require much explanation. They’re no different from the forces in the Void Realm.】
【The three major sects on Blazing Light Star, as well as the Ji and Jiang clans on Purple Violet Star, all belong to this category.】
【If such a force is powerful enough, it can act independently, free from anyone else’s constraints, and it doesn’t need to pay taxes to forces such as the Immortal Kingdom.】
【If it isn’t strong enough, then it can only become a vassal of a more powerful force.】
【After experiencing the trials of your sixth simulation, you’re already quite familiar with these concepts.】
【So when the Grand Archbishop provided you with information, you basically didn’t need him to explain these terms and concepts in detail.】
【Otherwise, you wouldn’t look like a local.】
【“…That’s everything we know.”】
【After half an hour of rapid-fire questions and answers, you had basically figured out every aspect of the Winged God Church.】
【You estimated that there shouldn’t be much left that you didn’t know. After all, the Grand Archbishop of Fortune Star held a fairly high position within the entire Winged God Church.】
【The Winged God Church’s main cathedral on Spiritveil Star was its headquarters, while the branch cathedrals on the three third-class stars led by Fortune Star could be regarded as regional branches.】
【The position of Grand Archbishop was equivalent to that of a branch manager. The information he had access to was already more than sufficient.】
【The Winged God Church had no Immortal Lord-level experts. Its strongest cultivators were at the Heaven-Connecting Realm, though there were quite a few of them, and they were all concentrated in the main church on Spiritveil Star.】
【Even Heaven-Connecting Realm cultivators, let alone those in the Unrivaled Realm, had no desire to remain on a third-class star. Thus, on a third-class star like Fortune Star, only the Grand Archbishop and a few Red-robed Archbishops were in the Unrivaled Realm.】
【They were the sort who had no hope of being promoted at headquarters, had reached the limits of their cultivation potential, and didn’t have much longer to live. They had come to the branches to hold relatively high-ranking positions until retirement.】
【Officially, they claimed it was for a larger pension after retirement. In reality, they were simply taking advantage of their positions… You know how it is.】
【An alien Heaven-Connecting Realm cultivator posed no threat to you now.】
【But when faced with a war spanning several planets, it was clearly impossible for you to handle everything alone while also overseeing the takeover and administration.】
【So you needed manpower—lots and lots of manpower!】
【“You four will continue reflecting in prison. If you manage to render meritorious service later, I may consider restoring a certain degree of your freedom.”】
【The Grand Archbishop desperately yearned for freedom and hurriedly asked,】
【“Senior, how can we render meritorious service? Senior? Senior!”】
【You left without paying him the slightest attention.】
【The prison door slammed shut, and layer after layer of formations rose into place, reinforcing the prison.】
【The Grand Archbishop gazed at the prison he had once been so proud of—the very one used to hold those who resisted the church—and let out a long sigh.】
【“If only I’d known, I wouldn’t have built this prison so sturdy. Now even we can’t escape. Sigh…”】
【Liu Family Village.】
【This was where you had awakened after nearly dying at the hands of the Old Hag during your sixth simulation.】
【Returning here once more, you stood among the clouds and looked down at the shabby little village.】
【From your assault on the main cathedral to using the Myriad Ghosts’ Night Parade to wipe it out, the entire process had taken less than half a day.】
【So, for now, the Winged God Church facilities scattered throughout Fortune Star still didn’t know that the headquarters had fallen and that the Grand Archbishop had become a prisoner.】
【The various systems of rule, oppression, and enslavement in the local areas continued to be enforced as usual.】
【Given the speed at which information traveled on this planet, it would probably take several months for the news to spread everywhere.】
【At that moment, you saw that the Winged God Church branch governing the area where Liu Family Village was located had sent people once again to collect grain and seize villagers.】
【“Sinners, the time has come for you to atone…”】
【You heard a familiar voice.】
【Taking a closer look, you saw that the church party arriving at Liu Family Village was led by none other than White Priest Loku.】
【He was the same person who had taken you and Liu Ying away from Liu Family Village during the sixth simulation.】
【“What a coincidence.”】
【Keeping your body perfectly upright, you plummeted at incredible speed, like a missile dropping vertically from the sky.】
【Boom!!】
【With a thunderous sonic blast, both your feet came down on Luo Ku’s head. The impact unleashed a wave of air that swept across the surroundings, forming a visible shockwave.】
【Luo Ku felt as though a mountain had been placed on top of his head.】
【Yet the mountain’s weight was precisely calibrated. It was just light enough for him to barely endure, but heavy enough to keep him from breaking free, pinning him immovably between the ground and the feet above him.】
【“Who dares! How dare you offend this priest!”】
【Seeing their White Priest being stepped on, the Churchguard Knights who had accompanied Luo Ku immediately launched an attack against you.】
【“Protect the priest!”】
【You glared furiously at the soldiers, clad in armor so bulky that they looked like walking iron barrels, and let out a thunderous roar.】
【“Get lost!!!”】
【The sound wave transformed into a tangible attack. It forced its way inside their armor and formed echoes that reverberated back and forth, reducing the soldiers’ internal organs to pulp.】
【They vomited black blood mixed with fragments of their organs and collapsed to the ground one after another.】
【Seeing this, Luo Ku was horrified and immediately changed his tune.】
【“S-Senior…”】
【You paid no attention to whatever Luo Ku was saying. It wasn’t important.】
【Your gaze swept toward the villagers kneeling on both sides of the road.】
【To them, the scene before their eyes had completely overturned everything they believed.】
【Ever since childhood, they had been taught that they were sinners, and that the Winged God Church had come to help them atone for their sins as representatives of the gods.】
【Yet now, the winged being who represented the gods had been trampled beneath your feet, unable to move, calling you “Senior” with a sycophantic expression.】
【Was this right?】
【“Stand up! No more kneeling!”】
【The villagers didn’t dare disobey you.】
【They all stood, but their bodies trembled, hunched and shriveled, their filthy, tattered clothes hanging from them. Not one of them possessed the slightest trace of vitality or spirit.】
【“From this day onward, you no longer need to submit to this religion or that religion, and you no longer need to be enslaved by anyone!
You are not sinners. You are members of the human race—flesh-and-blood human beings with independent minds and dignity!
The land surrounding the village belongs to you. Whoever cultivates a plot owns it. Farm your own fields and live your own lives!
Or you have another choice: follow me and kill these bastard aliens, returning this world to the proper order!”】
【With that, you stomped down hard. Luo Ku beneath your foot exploded on the spot.】
【You waved your hand, and the Samadhi True Fire appeared, burning his mangled remains into a wisp of blue smoke that vanished without a trace.】
【You hovered in midair, looking down upon the earth. Your eyes held a trace of compassion, a trace of majesty, a trace of divinity—and seventy percent of an unyielding will to fight to the bitter end!】
【Liu Ying was the first to step forward.】
【“I’ll go with you!”】
【Liu Ying’s father, Liu Tian, tugged at her clothes.】
【“Daughter, this…”】
【The expression on Liu Ying’s face was utterly resolute.】
【“Hero, I don’t understand any profound principles. I just feel that you’re right, and those aliens are wrong!”】
【You looked at Liu Ying.】
【In the sixth simulation, Liu Tian and his daughter, Liu Ying, rescued you from drowning. Later, in the rebel army, Liu Ying became one of its most important generals.】
【No matter how many times time rewinds, a person's true nature never changes.】
【Liu Ying is still Liu Ying!】
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
