Glorious God Throne

Chapter 91



[It feels like a dream even until now, so unreal! The revival of spiritual energy, the return of the extraordinary experts, the path of the extraordinary unfolds at the feet of every person, the ordinary world is about to experience a magnificent upheaval. Can an ordinary person like me really have such a dream?]

[Another point. Just now, when I heard the news about the return of the Lord of the Heavenly Capital and the nationwide promotion of the martial arts, I almost thought I had crossed over to another world in my sleep. The arrival of the extraordinary, the cultivation of martial arts by the entire population – isn’t this the backdrop of urban spiritual revival novels? Next, should there be a beast tide invasion? And then the contract of extraordinary spirit pets, becoming a summoner overnight! I can do it, I really can! I couldn’t help but hug my dog and let my imagination run wild…]

[The person above, don’t even think about it. If your dog could transform, it would surely become the master before you. My cat master hasn’t even transformed yet, but it’s already out of control.]

[Cat-eared girl, I can do it!]

[No, you’re all thinking too far ahead. According to the official explanation, the current level of spiritual energy revival is not enough to support the emergence of extraordinary animals. According to the research of the scientists, at most, it will just make some small animals a bit smarter than before, maybe raising their intelligence to the level of a 3-year-old child.]

[I think this is fine. It’s a bit selfish, but it’s better if the extraordinary ability is only possessed by us humans. If animals also have the opportunity to evolve, the food chain will be overturned. We humans have worked hard to evolve to the top of the food chain, and I don’t want to have to compete with a group of extraordinary animals again in the future!]

[Exactly, nothing can compare to the “Martial Arts Classic”! Isn’t the “Martial Arts Classic” delicious? Who needs cat girls! This is a cultivation method passed down by that expert who opened up a heavenly realm! When I first heard that everyone has the chance to become a martial arts practitioner, I was so excited that I ran five laps in the cold wind at midnight!]

[Who wouldn’t be? I just graduated from university last year. Can I reapply to go back and repeat a year? I’m so envious of the younger students still in school! I wonder how long we have to wait for the social martial arts training classes to start? I can’t wait.]

[Don’t even mention it! My brat of a son just started middle school, and his grades aren’t that great, but he’s been a martial arts fan since he was little. His martial arts talent was recently tested and found to be excellent, which has really gone to his head. Before, he would lie in bed every morning and I had to call him to get him to go to school, but now he doesn’t need any prompting and gets up an hour early! I can see it, his enthusiasm for studying martial arts is incredibly high. He not only practices at school, but also comes home to spar, oh, he’s quite the show-off! Seeing my rabbit son’s smug look, I just want to ask when the social martial arts training classes will start? If he doesn’t train soon, and if he messes up again in the future, I’ll grab a huge fist – but wait, my rabbit son’s fist is even bigger than mine… Can I still maintain my authority as a father?]

[Add 10086, urgently request for the martial arts training classes to start soon. I’m not married, but I have younger siblings and nieces/nephews. Just thinking that they might surpass me in the future really makes me feel hopeless.]

[You Yao people shouldn’t… How should I put it, you’re ungrateful for the blessings you have! The government is actually willing to teach martial arts to everyone, giving everyone the opportunity to become a martial arts practitioner, so what’s a few more days of waiting?]

[Exactly. I envy you all so much, the doors to the extraordinary just opened up without you having to do anything. On our Sang side, though the government also wants to promote martial arts, if you want to practice martial arts, you can only go to the designated dojos – everyone knows the powerful backers behind them. These despicable people rely on their influence and money to recruit the lucky ones who went to the Sword Realm before, and many details of cultivating martial arts techniques can only be learned from their guidance. Even if we obtain the techniques, without the professional guidance of the dojos, we don’t dare to practice blindly, and the dojos that control the correct methods hold our lifelines, wishing we would put them on a pedestal!]

[…Exactly! If the government hadn’t emphasized the promotion of martial arts, trying to let more people embark on the cultivation path, I have no doubt those people would charge sky-high fees, which only the big aristocrats and tycoons could afford, monopolizing the cultivation methods for the upper class. Now the fees are still very expensive, but we can scrape together the money as a family. After all, it’s an extraordinary opportunity!]

[My sister’s talent was just tested out to be very high, so my family directly sold a set of houses to send her to the best dojo in Jingdu, making her one of the core disciples with the best treatment. Although our family’s living conditions have decreased a lot now, as long as I think about my sister’s future success, becoming a respected martial arts master, perhaps the dojo will even come to revere her… Not only that, if my sister has the chance to stand before that “Martial Arts God” in the future, to follow that extraordinary figure in the world… Thinking about that bright future fills me with the feeling that all the sacrifices are worth it.]

[Ah, what? Sell houses??? You Sang people are terrifying!]

[What’s the problem? I reiterate, this is an extraordinary opportunity! It’s a chance to change one’s destiny that many people wait their entire lives for, what’s a house worth? If there’s a chance to become an extraordinary person, I’m willing to give up everything!]

[Indeed, it’s nothing. If there’s a chance to follow that “Martial Arts God”, I can abandon everything I have! Even if it’s just being a small servant by that great person’s side! I believe the people in our Sang Country who think this way are not in the minority! The weak following the strong, isn’t this the natural order of things? Now, when the weak have the chance to become the strong and change their destiny to become superior beings, of course they should be willing to give up everything to strive for it!]

[??? I’ve long heard that Sang people are extremely worshipful of the strong, and now I’ve witnessed it firsthand! Too crazy!]

[While traveling in Sang, I’ve experienced their craziness. They even established a fan club or worship organization for the Lord of the Heavenly Capital? Anyway, there are too many of them to count, every citizen seems to be a fanatical fan of the Lord of the Heavenly Capital… They even gave themselves a title, calling themselves the “Sworn Sword Followers”, which is just so absurd.]

[This makes sense. Everyone knows the history of the Sang Country – it was established by roaming pirates who took over the South Sea, together with their captives. The emperor and the nobility are the descendants of those pirates, while the commoners are the descendants of the former slaves. Even if they don’t openly admit it, like every feudal ruler, they try to beautify and cover up their origins. But this origin has determined their mindset to be different from ours, their worship of the strong has been ingrained in their very blood.]

[The analysis from the person above has really got me thinking. Reasonable suspicion is the forte of history professionals. I didn’t think that much, my mind is just full of this: we Yao students get to cultivate martial arts for free, does that mean each of us gets a free house from the state?]

[LOL, the state giving out free houses? Really?]

[To be honest, the policies of our Yao Country are the friendliest towards the common people. I heard that the Island Alliance and the surrounding other countries, although they also opened up martial arts cultivation policies, just like Sang, the thresholds are not low, not very friendly to the common people.]

[The people of the Island Alliance agree. But compared to the Western countries around the Chenxing Empire, our sense of happiness immediately rises. On their side, they didn’t even leave a threshold, they directly blocked the wall.]

[Laughing to death! Thinking about how the Chenxing Empire originally spread rumors and maliciously slandered that it was Yao who deliberately raised the national culture, those idiots actually believed it, and now I can’t help but laugh.]

[Didn’t they say they were going to protest? Didn’t it work?]

[Possibly, maybe, it worked? Anyway, it’s different from what we initially thought. While in the Chenxing Empire, live broadcast, the Chenxing Empire’s upper echelons just made a response, but it’s not to promote martial arts, but to bring out a strange scientist, called Dr. Wells or something? According to this doctor, martial arts is the specialty of Eastern civilization, and it’s not compatible with Western culture, so even if Westerners cultivate martial arts, they can’t catch up to the East.]

[Hmm, that does sound reasonable. I see the people of the Chenxing Empire also seem to accept this rhetoric – they have always seen themselves as the mightiest empire, how could they accept being defeated by other countries, especially us Yao? So promoting martial arts as an extraordinary system nationwide is definitely not acceptable!]

[So what? Just because they can’t catch up to us on this path, they’re going to give up and go into decay?]

[Of course not! They said they will persist on the scientific development path! According to Dr. Wells, they have been researching the subject of human genetic evolution. Now with the revival of spiritual energy, their research is about to succeed, the evolutionary factors contained in the spiritual energy are the key to their successful research. By then, the people of the Chenxing Empire won’t need to cultivate any martial arts, they just have to wait for the research to succeed, and they can achieve genetic evolution, overtaking us country bumpkins who painstakingly practice martial arts – cough, anyway, that’s the implication of his words.]

[In short, they’ve temporarily pacified the people. Now the people of the Chenxing Empire are all waiting for the experiment to succeed, everyone transforming into superhumans!]

[…It sounds reasonable, but I still feel like they’re just making empty promises. Is such an experiment really that easy to succeed? Spiritual energy has just emerged, it’ll probably take at least ten or eight years to explore, right?]

[That’s uncertain, we common folk really don’t understand the world of genius scientists. Maybe they can actually do it.]

[The more I think about it, it feels like we’re overlooking something?]

[Ah, you must be talking about the Holy Federation! It seems we’ve never seen anyone claiming to be from the Holy Federation on the forums, at least no one has admitted it. And now with the chaos caused by the emergence of the extraordinary around the world, how come we haven’t heard any news from the Holy Federation?]

[Oh, they are currently wholeheartedly preparing for the festival of the Temple of the Sun, a traditional program of the Temple of the Sun? But this year they’re making it exceptionally grand, starting the preparations three months in advance, probably because… they want to truly welcome the descent of the Sun God? After all, extraordinary abilities have emerged, and the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, a living extraordinary being, has appeared, it’s unthinkable that the Sun God doesn’t exist – anyway, that’s probably what the Holy Federation people are thinking.]

[Should I say they are the only religious country? When everyone else is shaken by the emergence of extraordinary abilities like martial arts, their faith in the Sun God has become even more pure?]

[My Lord created the world, nurtured all things, the one you call the Lord of the Heavenly Capital is but one of His creations, a child of the Lord, the Lord bestowed him with inspiration, and that’s how martial arts came into being. Why should we abandon the Godly Path and pursue martial arts, forsaking the fundamental for the superficial?]

[Capturing a Federation person. Bestowing inspiration, how generous.]

[Well, you guys are great, the grand festival three months from now, the birthday of the Sun God, I bet you’ll receive the descent of the deity!~]

Yao, Sang, Island Alliance, Chenxing Empire, Holy Federation…

Awe, curiosity, surprise, wariness, worship, hostility…

In a very short time, that figure whom some revere as the “Martial Arts God”, the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, has become renowned throughout the world due to the spread of martial arts. His name has become a mysterious embodiment in the hearts of countless people, stirring the winds of change across the entire world.

Yao Country, a residential building in the old city area.

The intangible legends come from all directions, the young man by the window unfolds a virtual card, emitting a faint golden glow.

He gazes at the figure in white robes on the card.

“Is this… considered a jackpot?”

[The Lawless One]

[The Ancestor of Martial Arts, the Nemesis of the Immortal Path]

[The False Inheritor of the Heavenly Mandate, the True Source of All Evil]

[Without Law, Without Heaven, Without Sentient Beings, the Great Way is Mine]

[Click to expand details, view the card’s skills.]

1. The Number One Under Heaven Lv???

Description: Emanates an aura of dominance. You have opened the path of martial arts for this world, you are the source of the myriad martial arts. Before all martial arts cultivators, you possess an undefeatable, constant buff – you are the Number One under Heaven, unrivaled.

Remark: The four words “Number One under Heaven” explain everything. Is there a need for further elaboration?

2. Martial Ancestor Lv10

Description: You have mastered the quintessence of various martial arts, you are a walking martial arts encyclopedia. Any weapon in your hands will be as effortless as moving your own limbs, you automatically possess maximum proficiency. When using sword techniques, you gain a 120% bonus.

Remark: The title “Sword Master” says it all.

3. Schrödinger’s Inheritor of the Heavenly Mandate Lv???

Description: Sacrifice your own auspices, annihilate the enemy of a single path.

—You can repeatedly jump between the paths of martial arts, immortal cultivation, and other ways. When you choose a certain path as your enemy, you will become the most terrifying demonic lord of that path, delivering a devastating strike to all the cultivators on that path, causing them to be beset by inner demons, shattering their cultivation, making them doubt their lives, even abandoning their path to join the enemy.

And you will also suffer a great diminishment of your own auspices for a period of time, this is the backlash that must be endured by those who cultivate on that great path, it is also the price you must pay for activating this skill.

Once successful, and after weathering the short-term auspice backlash, you will completely devour the auspices of all the cultivators who have fallen into confusion under your influence, for a period of time you will become the Inheritor of the Heavenly Mandate blessed with unparalleled fortune, and that great path will plunge to the lowest point in history, with no hope of revival.

Remark: As an inherently lawless person, the reason you have become the Ancestor of Martial Arts and the Nemesis of the Immortal Path is not because you love martial arts and are hostile to the Immortal Path. It is only because the Immortal Path has rejected you, so you decided to become its enemy. And martial arts has favored you, so you’ve made martial arts flourish.

Any path can be like this. You can be the glorious Inheritor of the Heavenly Mandate, or you can become the source of all evil that annihilates a path.

—Your choice will determine the rise and fall of the paths.
