turned toward the ruins of Emperor Step Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart sank into despair as she stared at the once-proud mountain—now split clean in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled cry, she collapsed to her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had Li Shimin, the second son of the Li Warlord, gained such terrifying power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eternal God...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the strange phenomena of the past few days—those miracles in the sky—really have been His doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trembling, Fan Qinghui looked up at the young figure standing proudly in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about my disciple...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is Shi Feixuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could not follow the Buddha anymore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>perhaps they could survive by becoming a simple sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin heard her and sneered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your disciple was quite the beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My God favored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has ascended to the heavens to serve as a Goddess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words struck Fan Qinghui like a hammer to the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision went black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she fainted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, from the shattered remains of the mountain, a surge of sword aura shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force was terrifying—almost reaching the level of a Land Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against Li Shimin, it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his sleeve casually—dispersing the attack like swatting away a fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still trying to resist, even using Dini’s corpse to attack me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stubborn nuns... tired of living, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury flashed across his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin raised his sword again and unleashed another devastating slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, brilliant sword light tore across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second half of Emperor Step Peak crumbled into rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dini’s corpse, the ancient scriptures of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and centuries of inheritance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all were obliterated in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Cihang Jingzhai was wiped clean from the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin stood calmly amidst the destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, this wasn’t excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a divine envoy, he had already shown more mercy than they deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disobedience against the Eternal God—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>meant death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the trembling nuns below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today forward, you have two choices:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either marry into the mortal world and abandon your false gods,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or convert to the faith of the Eternal God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you resist...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When my armies sweep the land,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will show no mercy to any who stand against us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozens of young women collapsed in terror, sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None even noticed when Li Shimin turned and disappeared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a matter of days, the news spread like wildfire:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin destroyed Cihang Jingzhai with a single sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some claimed he had flown across the void, cutting down mountains with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others whispered that he had already transcended mortality and become a celestial being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still others believed that he was a divine emissary sent by the Eternal God to restore order to a chaotic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the story, one thing was certain—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin’s name shook the entire Sui Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the rumors came an official proclamation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From this day forward, all Buddhism and Taoism shall be abolished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Eternal God shall be worshipped!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temples, martial sects, and common folk alike were thrown into panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin wasn’t challenging a sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was challenging every inheritance across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was Li Shimin afraid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, his reputation drew challengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a letter arrived bearing a name that made the martial world shudder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master of the Lingnan Clan, hailed as a peerless warrior whose martial arts had long since reached the pinnacle of human ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who had broken through the Innate Realm years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about the destruction of Cihang Jingzhai—and knowing that Fan Qinghui was once someone he admired—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que abandoned all caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the protests of friends and allies, he marched straight into Li Shimin’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he entered the city, something felt... wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever he went, the merchants hawking goods, the farmers moving produce—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone radiated a quiet strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the vegetable sellers and brick movers exuded the aura of practiced fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Que passed by a construction site, a shirtless worker suddenly called out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, lend me a hand! Gotta move these bricks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Song Que instinctively turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he thought a martial master was challenging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked back—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was just a sweaty laborer, grinning innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even this simple worker had the aura of a third-rate martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of terrifying place have I walked into...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked deeper into the city, Song Que couldn’t suppress the growing sense of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man moving bricks casually carried the aura of a second-rate martial master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even laborers... had strength rivaling sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ridiculous...\" Song Que muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An old man at second-rate realm? This isn’t normal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His caution heightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hands tucked behind his back, he moved carefully toward his destination—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it could no longer be called that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now the Mansion of the Divine Envoy of the Eternal God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the towering gates, Song Que was greeted politely by a smiling soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, Mr. Song. The Divine Envoy has been expecting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier’s attitude was courteous, but Song Que instinctively tested his presence—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and his heart almost skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... a mere gate guard... has an innate cultivation base?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que could only force a bitter smile and nod lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought the rumors were exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he realized—they hadn’t gone far enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center stood a grand white jade altar, glowing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting calmly before it, dressed in a flowing white samurai robe, was Li Shimin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, dozens of followers sat in quiet meditation, their auras harmonized and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room buzzed with divine energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin raised his head, meeting Song Que’s eyes with serene authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Song,\" he said calmly, \"don’t you agree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We Han people should unite the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the banner of the Eternal God, there would be no more chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que’s gaze swept over the meditating believers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart clenched faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If everyone becomes a believer...\" he said quietly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would we not simply become walking corpses—mindless and hollow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin chuckled lightly, standing to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Mr. Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My God cherishes all life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike those bald-headed monks, He does not demand endless chanting and empty worship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True power comes from sincerity—and action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small book floated through the air, landing gently before Song Que.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It smelled faintly of fresh ink, but it radiated a weight far beyond its physical form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin’s voice was soft but firm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve lingered at the Innate Realm for too long, haven’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meditate using this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You will touch the realm of a Land Immortal—with ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que stared at the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Land Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never dared even to hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brick-moving old man outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain-splitting sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer difference between Li Shimin and ordinary martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no idle boast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the endless suffering of the Han people—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the invasions, the internal strife—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s a chance... even a sliver of one... to gain true power for my people—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the thin manual, he found no complicated techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No secret martial formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No cultivation laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a single instruction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pray with sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meditate with devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seek unity with the Eternal God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So simple... yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que closed his eyes and began to meditate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his spirit touched the divine resonance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power surged into him like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before even half a stick of incense had burned out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before he could fully comprehend the process—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que’s body trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation erupted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he broke through into the Land Immortal Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes, he was gasping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cell in his body hummed with divine vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had achieved the realm he once thought impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind reeled—not from the power—but from the overwhelming presence he had touched:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true body of the Eternal God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, Li Shimin smiled calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, Mr. Song Que,\" he asked, voice rich with meaning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you still question the greatness of my God?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Que, still trembling, could not answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in his heart—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he already
