BOOM.

A thunderous explosion resounded like a bolt from the blue, deafening and disorienting.

That strike shattered the greed in people's hearts, and infinite reverence surged within them.

They saw endless divine light spreading like a tide from a distant, unknowable place.

At first, it appeared very far away, but in the blink of an eye, it was already above the altar.

And in the center of that endless divine light was an incredibly seductive goddess.

Her jade-like body was slender. She swayed gracefully as she approached, her red lips moist, her teeth pearly white. Her raven hair cascaded over her snowy-white chest, alluring and enchanting.

At the center of her forehead was a red mole, adding a unique and bewitching quality to her.

She was indeed a peerless beauty.

However, the divine might was vast; an intangible pressure pounded their souls like the tide, instilling awe, deterring lingering gazes, and preventing even the slightest profane thought from arising.

All they felt was panic and reverence.

The divine cannot be defiled.

The divine cannot be infringed upon.

"Who is she? Could she be the God of Hongmeng?"

"It doesn't seem so!"

Seeing Qin Yao, everyone was puzzled.

They had recited the "Meditation Method," witnessing the God of Hongmeng's grand and immortal divine form.

Although they had not seen Hongmeng's true form, the God of Hongmeng was supposed to be male.

Moreover, the goddess before them, although powerful, simply could not be compared to the God of Hongmeng.

"Greetings to the Divine Envoy!"

Zhu Yuyan's respectful voice rang out, and a realization dawned upon the crowd.

So, she is an envoy of the God of Hongmeng.

That made sense.

How could a great being like the God of Hongmeng not have a few Divine Spirits to serve him?

"Greetings to the Divine Envoy."

Everyone else knelt and bowed their heads in reverence.

"Zhu Yuyan, you wish to have your past self replace your current self," Qin Yao said. "Although my God can infuse your power and some of your memories into your past self, your present self is, in a sense, dead. At most, you can only coexist with your past self. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"You should know that this act is akin to resurrecting the dead, and all the merits you've accumulated will be consumed. You will gain no rewards beyond the post of Divine Envoy!"

Qin Yao looked down at the graceful Zhu Yuyan and marveled inwardly, I never expected someone would be so ruthless.

This move couldn't be said to be impossible, nor could it be called a total loss.

It simply was something most people would never consider.

However, as a Divine Envoy, once Zhu Yuyan completed her mission of converting the world into an Earthly Divine Kingdom, she could lead the world in ascension.

After ascending to God's Kingdom, the current Zhu Yuyan could only serve as a subordinate to the Divine Spirits, with no qualification to attend to the God of Hongmeng.

But if her past self succeeded...

In the long run... there is a chance to risk the small for the great. To gain favor from the Divine Spirit. To soar to great heights. This is a gamble.

"The past Zhu Yuyan? The present Zhu Yuyan?"

Li Mi, Emperor Li Shimin, Shen Luoyan, Wang Shichong, and countless other martial artists from the martial world were baffled upon hearing this, their minds filled with giant question marks.

Though they didn't entirely comprehend, they seemed to grasp that Zhu Yuyan wanted to use her current merits to let someone from the past replace her.

And she would likely die.

Is there really such folly in the world?

They certainly did not understand.

Nor did they fathom how her past self could replace her current self.

Such matters were far too profound.

"Divine Envoy, I am certain."

Zhu Yuyan's eyes were resolute.

In my eyes, whether it's the past or present me, I am still myself, especially since I can integrate some of my memories into my past self. Then I am still me. But at the same time, I am not.

"Hmm!"

Qin Yao nodded slightly and knelt toward the deep sky, saying, "I respectfully follow my God's Divine Mandate."

"Granted!"

A majestic divine voice echoed from the depths of the cosmos, the Universe Dao roaring as if in eager agreement.

Everyone faintly sensed that in that distant realm of the unknown, a great indescribable presence cast down a glance!

This glance spanned time, space, Reincarnation...

It crossed the Primordial Chaos, surpassing all heavens and earth, all beings.

Under this gaze, it was as if they had no secrets at all.

Their entire beings felt as though they were being seen through.

Clear and transparent.

Is this the God of Hongmeng? It's truly terrifying. Truly frightening.

Merely a single voice incited fear.

A Golden Command materialized from the sky. Qin Yao held the mandate with both hands, stood up, and looked down upon the world:

"Zhu Yuyan has preached and made sacrifices diligently. Thus, I grant her the Post of Envoy of the World God and grant that the Zhu Yuyan from past time-space merge with her, replacing her current self!"

Two dazzling divine lights fell from the Golden Command. One entered Zhu Yuyan, forming a mysterious and noble Divine Spirit Mark on her forehead.

The other transformed into the shadow of Hongmeng.

Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with curiosity.

The Divine Sense of Hongmeng merged with his shadow, and then with a touch.

The void rippled, rules emerged, and the Endless Dao intertwined into a mirror of light.

In the mirror, Zhu Yuyan's figure surfaced, her experiences playing out like a film in reverse, rapidly rewinding.

"That is Zhu Yuyan!"

"Those images inside, are they her experiences?"

Everyone looked on with bright eyes, curiously watching the ups and downs of Zhu Yuyan's legendary life.

Shortly, the imagery stopped, fixing on Zhu Yuyan after completing her studies, descending the mountain for trials, before meeting Shi Zhixuan.

"Coalesce!"

Hongmeng softly uttered a word. The power of the Endless Dao pervaded the world, rules yielded, the starry sky swayed, and the world trembled.

The eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan in the light mirror was wrapped in an immense and mysterious power and slowly pulled out.

Seeing this, the previously bewildered crowd suddenly gained clarity.

Shen Luoyan's eyes gleamed brightly. So this was Reversing Time and Space, bringing someone from the past to the present! What the Divine Envoy had mentioned earlier about reviving the dead must also be like this. Is this the power of Divine Spirits? Truly omnipotent, unimaginable!

HUM.

The heavens and the earth shook, and the eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan flew out from the mirror, her figure solidifying.

Zhu Yuyan looked at her younger self, tears brimming in her eyes.

Forty years... time had flown by. It was like a fleeting dream.

Emperor Li Shimin looked with curiosity at the eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan. Is this Empress Yin in her youth?

He then glanced at the Zhu Yuyan beside him, seeing almost no changes in stature or appearance between the two.

However, the eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan, compared to the current one, was clearly more naive and lacked authority and dominance.

Li Mi marveled in his heart as he looked at the two Zhu Yuyans, filled with emotion. Divine techniques, so mystical and skillful!

The eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan was full of horror when she saw the other Zhu Yuyan. Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me? Wasn't I preparing to return to the Yin Gui Sect? How did I suddenly come here? This seems to be Peak Emperor of Cihang Temple? Could Cihang Temple have done this?

"You will understand soon. For the glory of my God, work hard!"

Zhu Yuyan smiled seductively, and as her voice fell, her body suddenly turned into a ball of golden light and entered the forehead of the eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan.

The eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuyan wanted to resist, but the ball of golden light was too fast.

She could not react in time.

Her body trembled as a powerful force surged into her, causing her Cultivation Level to skyrocket from Innate to Half Step Breaking the Void.

This power was purified by Hongmeng and was indistinguishable from the Power of Faith, so it would not affect her foundation.

At the same time, endless memories flooded into her mind.

It could be said that except for Shi Zhixuan's sweet nothings and the memories of that night, she had all other memories.

It was as if she had experienced the magnificent life of her future self.

As if she had gone through a cycle of Reincarnation in a dream.

Deceived and deflowered.

The Heavenly Demon Technique could not achieve Perfection.

Shi Zhixuan fell into obscurity.

Leading the Yin Gui Sect to rise, revitalizing the Demon Sect, hailed as Empress Yin.

Joining the chat group, believing in the God of Hongmeng, changing her destiny.

Zhu Yuyan's heart was in turmoil. Is this my original future? Did the future me give everything she had to me? This is truly too incredible to believe.

But as her memories merged, her demeanor began to transform.

Everyone stared at Zhu Yuyan, clearly feeling the immaturity fade from her at a visible speed. Her aura became majestic, sharp, dominant, and powerful.

The Divine Spirit Mark on her forehead flickered, radiating gleaming divine light and adding endless splendor to her. As she stood there, the heavens and earth seemed to dim, and all things lost their luster.

HUM.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuyan opened her eyes, sparks of sharpness flying out of them.

The previous confusion, panic, and unease were swept away, her eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.

Zhu Yuyan whispered in her heart, You and I are one, inseparable. Then she knelt towards the sky, devoutly saying:

"Thank You for the grace of my God!"

"I hope you live up to the high hopes of my God and continue to work hard!"

Qin Yao watched Zhu Yuyan, full of reverence for the God of Hongmeng's methods, something she could never do herself.

In her hand, the Golden Command descended, and divine light showered down. Large beams of divine light entered believers with great merit, like Wen Caiting and Bi Shouxuan, causing their Cultivation Levels to skyrocket and filling them with excitement.

Smaller beams of divine light enveloped the surrounding believers, making all the believers feel refreshed and invigorated, curing the sick and strengthening the healthy.

"Thank You for the grace of my God!"

The voices rose and fell, merging into a vast torrent that shook Yunxiao. The God of Hongmeng was indeed so generous. So benevolent. From now on, if anyone dares to stop me from believing in the God of Hongmeng, I'll fight them!

With the task completed, Qin Yao turned and left.

Shi Feixuan, Shangshang, and many other Sacrifices followed closely behind, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The sky returned to calm. It all felt like a dream.

"Sect... Sect Hierarch!"

Wen Caiting and the others stood up, looking at the incredibly young Zhu Yuyan with complex gazes.

"Prepare yourselves," Zhu Yuyan said coldly, glancing over them. "Tomorrow, we head to Luoyang. Yang Guang shall abdicate the throne. Simultaneously, announce to the world that it is Heaven's Mandate for me to reign. Those who comply shall prosper; those who resist shall perish! I shall wait in Luoyang for the World Houses and powerful clans of the world to come and pay homage!"

"Yes, Sect Hierarch!"

Wen Caiting and the others trembled, hastily responding.

No matter the state of the Zhu Yuyan they saw before them, she was the Divine Envoy blessed by Divine Spirits.

Even though they had just received rewards and their Cultivation Levels had soared, now not weaker than Zhu Yuyan's, they still had no place to question her.

Moreover, they felt that although Zhu Yuyan was somewhat different from before, her majestic presence was in no way diminished.

Li Shimin sighed inwardly. The world is changing! It seems there's no choice but to return and urge Li Yuan to submit as soon as possible.

As for resistance... The power of Divine Spirits? How could they possibly contend with it?

Moreover, the Hongmeng Divine Sect currently had hundreds at the Great Grandmaster level, and even ten at the Peak of Great Grandmaster. This force was enough to sweep away any power in the world.

「In the chat group.」

Upper God's Dog Son: "Wow, Sister Zhu's move is really slick!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Sister Yu Yan is impressive, what daring spirit!"

Soul Hall Saint Girl: "Congratulations to Sister Yu Yan on being reborn."

Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Demon Gate's Yinhou: "Thank you, sisters!"

The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Yinhou, has this chat group moved with you too?"

The Lord of Great Qin: "Curious +1"

Demon Gate's Yinhou: "I'm not sure either. Anyway, I can still see the chat group."

Huashan Sect Master: "My God's power is boundless; such a trivial matter is naturally not worth mentioning."

Demon Queen: "Our God is mighty!"

Ye Tiandi: "Our God is mighty!"

...

Hongmeng chuckled to himself.

He had actually just made use of his group admin privileges. The moment Zhu Yuyan disappeared from the group, he pulled the new Zhu Yuyan in.

He had turned off notifications, so nobody realized.

As the group admin, adding or removing someone was just a basic operation.

Of course, Hongmeng couldn't pull in people from unknown worlds; he could only pull in people from worlds that had already appeared in the chat group.

Which is to say, if he took a dislike to someone, he could just erase them and then pull in a replacement.

Demon King: "Bad news, we are doomed! Old Tathagata is coming to kill us!"

Ye Tiandi: "Weren't you preparing to build the Starry Sky Altar? How is the progress now?"

Demon King: "Just a bit more to go!"

Demon Lord Chonglou: "I shall meet this Tathagata of your world!"

Demon King: "Good, thank you, Demon Lord!"

Upper God's Dog Son: "Petition signed by ten thousand people, begging for a live broadcast!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Petition signed by ten thousand people, begging for a live broadcast!"
