The world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
Gusu, Swallow's Nest, Canhe Manor.
"Hahaha, I, Murong Fu, have gone mad! I've gone mad! In the end, everyone betrayed me, and only my maid, Abi, remained by my side!!!"
In the secret chamber, after Murong Fu finished praying with the "Contemplation Method" passed down by Hong Meng, he appeared insane. His powerful true qi caused the chamber to tremble, and even the entire Canhe Manor shook.
He refused to believe the future he had seen.
Yet, he couldn't help but believe it.
Everything seemed too real.
"What's wrong with Young Master?"
"What a terrifying aura! Young Master has broken through!"
Feeling the commotion, Bao Different, Feng Bo'e, and the other four house guards were greatly alarmed and rushed towards Murong Fu's secluded cultivation spot, their hearts filled with both shock and joy.
In the secret chamber.
"Hmm?"
Murong Fu's laughter abruptly stopped.
He felt the changes within himself.
"I've broken through?"
"I actually broke through from the mid-stage Grandmaster to the Great Grandmaster?"
"How is this possible?"
Murong Fu was utterly astonished. He carefully sensed his own body and found that his true qi was incredibly pure, without the slightest hint of hollowness, a genuine Great Grandmaster.
"It's the God of Hong Meng!"
Murong Fu immediately thought of the indescribably great being he had seen during his recent prayer, who had also given him a divine revelation, allowing him to see the future.
"Is this what a god is? Truly boundless divine power, terrifying beyond measure!"
"Just praying allowed my cultivation to advance greatly. If I were to offer sacrifices, what kind of terrifying divine grace would be bestowed?"
"If the faith of the God of Hong Meng were spread throughout the world, allowing everyone in the entire world to bask in the divine light of the God of Hong Meng..."
"Perhaps one could truly become an immortal or a god, eternally immortal!"
Murong Fu's eyes were filled with an intense light, a yearning for eternal life, immortality, and becoming an immortal or a god.
No one could resist such temptation.
Murong Fu walked out of the secret chamber, feeling the sunlight falling from the sky. He shook his head vigorously, as if waking from a dream.
"Congratulations, Young Master! Your divine功 has reached perfection, you are invincible in the world, and the restoration of Great Yan is just around the corner!"
Deng Baichuan, Gongyie Qian, Bao Different, and Feng Bo'e, the four house guards, excitedly came forward, bowing in congratulations.
"Invincible in the world, restoration of Great Yan?"
Before, Murong Fu would have been ecstatic, but now he suddenly felt a sense of dullness.
Having just received the divine revelation, he had seen the future.
His father, Murong Bo, had not died. Thirty years ago, he had spread false news, leading to the bloody battle outside Yanmen Pass, intending to provoke a war between Liao and Song. Then he faked his death, hid in Shaolin, and plotted in secret.
He had meticulously planned everything, but what was the outcome?
He was still enlightened by others, living out his remaining years as a monk, facing ancient Buddhas and dim lamps.
And he was even worse off. Despite years of diligent martial arts training, he couldn't compare to the two lucky simpletons, Duan Yu and Xuzhu.
His cousin was also taken away by Duan Yu, and he eventually went mad, with only Abi remaining by his side.
Of course.
With the God of Hong Meng, he believed the outcome would definitely be different. Under absolute power, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to restore his nation and become emperor!
But after witnessing the boundless divine power of the God of Hong Meng and the infinite vastness of the myriad worlds, his obsession with restoring his nation also faded.
"Imperial ambition and grand achievements are but fleeting dreams; becoming an immortal or a god is true eternity!"
Murong Fu's eyes revealed another ambition. He wanted to step out of this world, go to a higher realm, and see more distant scenery.
He wanted to become an immortal or a god, to become a divine envoy of the God of Hong Meng, and even ascend to the divine kingdom, attaining eternal enlightenment.
As for the throne?
Heh heh!
Would it be as fragrant as him being a divine envoy?
Divine right of kings.
Understand?
His power and status would directly transcend imperial power, and he would only need to preach and offer sacrifices for the God of Hong Meng, without having to manage various trivial matters.
When the divine radiance of the God of Hong Meng completely enveloped the earth, and the world transformed into a divine kingdom on earth, that would be the day he ascended to godhood.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Bao Different and the other three suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
The Young Master, who had always been so keen on restoring the nation, actually said that imperial ambition and grand achievements were fleeting dreams, and even spoke of becoming an immortal or a god?
Could he have gone mad from cultivating and suffering qi deviation?
"Follow me and chant, praying to the supreme, ancient, and great God of Hong Meng. Once you finish praying, you will understand!"
Murong Fu didn't explain, but commanded with an unquestionable tone.
"Yes!"
Bao Different and the other four opened their mouths but said nothing.
They would wait until they finished chanting.
However, they already had a conclusion in their minds.
The Young Master had truly suffered qi deviation.
He's mad!
"Who controls the rise and fall of Hong Meng?"
"Hong Meng is boundless, the beginning of heaven and earth!"
"Hong Meng is endless, the end of all things!"
Murong Fu prayed devoutly.
Bao Different and the other four exchanged glances, further confirming their suspicions.
However, Murong Fu was their master, so they couldn't defy him and followed along in prayer.
"Who controls the rise and fall of Hong Meng?"
...
With just a few thousand words, the prayer was quickly completed.
Murong Fu's expression remained devout and fervent.
Bao Different and the other four exchanged glances, filled with shock:
"You saw it too?"
"I saw it!"
"An indescribably great existence!"
"Huh, my cultivation has broken through! I've become a Grandmaster?"
"Me too!"
Exclamations of surprise rang out. Bao Different and the other four were even more shocked. Just one prayer, and they had broken through from Xiantian to Grandmaster.
This was simply too terrifying.
"This is the grace of the Supreme God. As long as you faithfully believe and spread the faith for the Supreme God, it is not impossible to become an immortal or a god and ascend to the divine kingdom, achieving eternal immortality, in the future!"
Murong Fu walked over from behind. Seeing that all four of them had received divine grace, he was even more awestruck by the greatness and terror of the God of Hong Meng.
It seemed he wasn't an isolated case; everyone who prayed could receive divine grace.
And the divine grace was so abundant, it was truly terrifying.
There were countless legends of deities.
This was the first time he had seen such a generous and benevolent deity.
Of course.
It was also the first time he had seen a deity manifest.
"Congratulations, Young Master, for receiving the favor of the divine spirit, for becoming an immortal and a god, and for eternal immortality!"
Bao Different and the other four excitedly congratulated him. Their previous doubts vanished instantly after witnessing the greatness of the God of Hong Meng, and they wished they could pray a few more times immediately.
Murong Fu nodded in satisfaction, then his expression turned serious as he instructed:
"Deng Baichuan, Gongyie Qian, immediately gather everyone in Canhe Manor to believe in the Supreme God and pray to the Supreme God!"
"Yes, Young Master."
"Bao Different, Feng Bo'e, immediately prepare the altar, prepare the three sacrificial animals, six domestic animals, and five grains. The altar needs to be..."
The three sacrificial animals: cattle, sheep, pigs.
The six domestic animals: horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs.
The five grains: rice, millet, broomcorn millet, wheat, soybeans.
Murong Fu meticulously explained the requirements and precautions for the altar from the "Sacrifice Method," repeatedly emphasizing: "This is a sacrifice to the Supreme God; there must not be the slightest error!"
"Yes, Young Master, we guarantee to complete the task."
The four house guards didn't hesitate in the slightest. Their expressions were fervent, and they immediately went to prepare.
Watching the four leave, Murong Fu's eyes shimmered with a light called ambition:
"I don't know how many believers the Supreme God has, but in the All-Heavens Chat Group, I, Murong Fu, must be the Supreme God's favorite child."
"The first sacrifice cannot be taken lightly. The first impression given to the Supreme God is crucial."
"But I can't delay, otherwise other members will perform the sacrifice before me."
He clearly understood the difference between first and second.
People only remember the first, not the second.
The Supreme God must be the same.
He wanted to be first in spreading the faith, and first in offering sacrifices.
"The three sacrificial animals, six domestic animals, and five grains are just ordinary offerings. Even if I'm the first to offer sacrifices, it will be difficult to stand out..."
"Rare birds and exotic beasts are good offerings, but I can't find them in a short time."
"Perhaps I can offer all the martial arts manuals from the Hishui Pavilion."
"Although these martial arts manuals are insignificant to the Supreme God, they are still my most precious treasures."
"Oh, right, there are still many secret manuals in the Langhuan Jade Cave of Mantuo Manor. My aunt and the others won't use them anyway, so it's perfect to offer them to the Supreme God."
Thinking of Mantuo Manor, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Murong Fu's mind.
The Sacrifice Method mentioned that pure Daughters of Destiny or Daughters of Great Fortune were excellent offerings.
He had received divine revelation from the Supreme God and had seen the future.
His cousin, Wang Yuyan, was clearly a Daughter of Destiny.
"And Ah Zhu, she should be considered a Daughter of Great Fortune. It's perfect to offer them both to the Supreme God."
Murong Fu's eyes gleamed with excitement. Anyway, he had no feelings for Wang Yuyan.
Moreover, in the future he saw, his cousin ended up with that dullard Duan Yu.
Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better to send her to heaven to serve the Supreme God?
He could gain divine grace, and his cousin could also ascend to the divine kingdom and enjoy good fortune, killing two birds with one stone.
"Such an opportunity is hard for mortals to find in a hundred lifetimes. My aunt must not refuse, besides... she has no right to refuse!"
Thinking of this, Murong Fu immediately took his people to Mantuo Manor.
...
