Creating Heavenly Laws

"How did I, of all beings, attract the descent of a main god?"

In the high sky, the Mother Goddess of Lust's soul trembled. The twenty-four main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness had not intervened in countless millennia.

The demigods who secretly spread their faith among humans were like parasites hiding in dark corners to the main gods, who periodically cleansed them.

The Mother Goddess of Lust had evaded multiple sieges by the Order Church not because she was exceptionally powerful, but because the God of Order simply did not consider her worth noticing.

Of course, luck also played a part.

"Which one of the twenty-four main gods is it?"

The Mother Goddess of Lust maintained her frantic escape speed while barely calming her mind.

She felt that the main god who acted wasn't specifically targeting her but merely eliminated the Lust Church along the way.

"Luckily, I wasn't in the church."

The Mother Goddess of Lust's face showed a look of relief. Staying in the church and facing that short, plump man? The Mother Goddess of Lust felt she would be no different from the other church members and believers.

"I can't go back to the Plateau of Nations."

The Mother Goddess of Lust seemed like a frightened bird. "Although the price was high, at least I survived."

The Mother Goddess of Lust looked exhilarated. "As long as I survive, I have hope of regathering faith and elevating my divine kingdom."

In the underground palace of Ampu City.

Lin Yuan stood under the statue and suddenly opened his eyes. "Found you."

Through the karmic connection with the Mother Goddess of Lust, Lin Yuan had locked onto her approximate location, even from billions of miles away.

"Not in the Plateau of Nations?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "No problem."

As long as he could lock onto the Mother Goddess of Lust's position through karma, it would be easy to deal with her.

"Curse-kill."

Lin Yuan's expression grew slightly serious. Following the rules of karma, he traced the effect back to the cause. A terrifying power instantly crossed billions of miles.

The technique of curse-kill was a way of utilizing karmic rules.

To curse-kill someone, a 'medium' was needed. This medium could be an object or the karma between the two individuals.

Additionally, the curse-killer's level must be at least two major tiers higher than the target. The Mother Goddess of Lust was a seventh-level demigod, and Lin Yuan's true level was the ninth, meeting the conditions for curse-kill.

Lastly, once a curse-kill was successful, the curse-killer had to endure the backlash from the karmic rules, paying with a significant amount of lifespan.

The curse-kill technique had many restrictions and was rarely seen in the main universe's main world, mainly due to its high cost and the fact that it wasn't a permanent kill. The target, if talented enough, could still be 'resurrected' by the strongest beings.

In the high sky.

The Mother Goddess of Lust, who had just felt lucky to survive under the hand of a main god, suddenly changed her expression dramatically.

In her perception, an invisible, intangible force that she could not resist was descending upon her.

"This..."

Before the Mother Goddess of Lust could form any thoughts, her body and soul were simultaneously pulverized, permanently disappearing from this world.

"Dead?"

Lin Yuan sensed that his karmic connection with the Mother Goddess of Lust had completely vanished, confirming that she was thoroughly dead.

If the Mother Goddess of Lust had any other means of survival, their karmic connection would still exist. Determining death through karma was a mainstream method among the strong in the main universe's main world.

"Hmm?"

"The backlash is here?"

Lin Yuan slightly frowned, sensing that his lifespan had inexplicably shortened by a small amount.

Approximately equivalent to a thousand years.

"Cursing a mere seventh-level life costs me a thousand years of lifespan?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; it was indeed not worth it.

Unless there was a deep-seated vendetta... but for a ninth-rank strong being, there were many ways to kill a seventh-rank being, with curse-kill being the least cost-effective.

"A thousand years of lifespan is nothing."

Lin Yuan didn't care. If he were in the main world, he might regret losing a thousand years of lifespan, but in the transmigrated world?

With the known remaining stay time being only a thousand one hundred and ten years, lifespan was the least valuable thing to Lin Yuan.

Even with a billion years of lifespan, he would still have to return to the main world when the stay time limit was reached.

It was for this reason that Lin Yuan used the curse-kill technique on the Mother Goddess of Lust without hesitation. The lifespan in this world was essentially free.

"However, the eighth-level gods of this world, who are integrated with the faith of all beings, seem to have no concept of lifespan?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Under the rules of this world, fourth and fifth-level knights could hardly live past two hundred years, and sixth-level legendary knights could hardly live past a thousand years.

A thousand years was the upper limit of lifespan in this world.

As for seventh-level demigods? Once the divine fire was ignited, the essence of life began to change. As long as the divine fire didn't extinguish, seventh-level demigods wouldn't die. Normally, seventh-level demigods could easily live for tens of thousands of years.

Although still far inferior to the seventh-rank evolvers of the main world, compared to the masses, they could be considered long-lived.

Seventh-level demigods could easily live for tens of thousands of years, but without elevating their divine kingdom, they would still die.

However, eighth-level true gods and ninth-level main gods, from ancient times to now, unless involved in divine wars, were never heard of dying from old age.

"The Lust Church is resolved."

"It's time to return."

Lin Yuan glanced around the hall before turning to leave.

He acted against the Lust Church partly because of Longshan Yuan's grievances with them and partly because Longshan Ridge was the foundation of Lin Yuan's operations in this transmigration.

Allowing such an unstable factor like the Lust Church to remain nearby was unwise. Who knew what trouble they might cause, potentially drawing the attention of the Order Church again?

The Order Church was a church of the main god, and Lin Yuan was reluctant to engage with main god-level entities before regaining his ninth-rank strength.

Now that Lin Yuan had the power to resolve it, he naturally wiped out the Lust Church.

"Clean up those corpses."

With a thought, all the corpses and bloodstains in the palace vanished.

If it weren't for the fact that the palace was beneath Ampu City and any disturbance would affect the bustling city above, Lin Yuan would have made the entire palace disappear.

"That should do it."

"Even if someone investigates afterward, they will most likely think the Lust Church relocated."

Lin Yuan stood at the exit of the palace, taking one last look back.

The Lust Church had moved secretly in Ampu City but certainly left traces. Although Lin Yuan had wiped them out, an investigation would surely follow.

But the scene was now well-prepared. Outsiders would not suspect that the entire Lust Church and its Mother Goddess had vanished from the world.

"Magic Net."

Lin Yuan faintly sensed the strands of power enveloping the world, belonging to the Magic Net Goddess, one of the twenty-four main gods.

Constructing a magic net covering the entire human world, the more lives using the magic net, the more faith power it would provide to the Magic Net Goddess.

In Lin Yuan's view, the magic net was not just for communication; it was the Magic Net Goddess's 'eyes.'

If it weren't for the fear of the magic net's perception and the inability to use too much power, Lin Yuan wouldn't have needed to enter the underground palace personally.

He could have wiped out the entire Lust Church from the outside.

Longshan City.

Lin Yuan was chatting with his parents.

A hundred years had passed, and Longshan Fang and his wife were still in good health, without any signs of aging, thanks to Lin Yuan secretly nurturing them with the power of the world.

This world's rules were harsh on lifespan, but with the power of the world, Lin Yuan was confident his parents would live to the lifespan limit.

That is, the thousand-year lifespan that only sixth-level legendary knights could hope to reach.

As for more? According to this world's rules, they would need to ignite divine fire and change their life form.

But given Longshan Fang and his wife's talents, that was impossible. Alternatively, they could achieve longevity by advancing to the seventh or eighth rank in martial arts like Lin Yuan.

But that was obviously even harder.

At this moment.

The Yang Spirit returned to Lin Yuan in strands of yang power.

Lin Yuan glanced toward Ampu City.

"Son, what's wrong?" Longshan Fang asked, looking at Lin Yuan.

"Nothing, just resolved a small issue."

Lin Yuan replied casually. By wiping out the Lust Church, there would be no trouble in Longshan Ridge in the future, giving him peace of mind.

After chatting with his parents for a while longer.

Lin Yuan returned to the cultivation room.

Whoosh.

The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit appeared simultaneously, sitting opposite Lin Yuan.

Due to not having regained peak strength, Lin Yuan had not brought the mysterious gourd, and the two Spirit were still in soul form, not converted to flesh with the secret method "Illusion to Reality."

"The current cultivation speed is still too slow. I need to quickly return to the ninth rank and then open more space layers."

Lin Yuan felt pressured. In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he and Xi Lan were still being pursued by Huny. Although the special environment of the secret realm provided temporary safety, who knew what unexpected changes might occur?

If possible, Lin Yuan did not want his Yang Spirit to perish. The call of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm still tempted him.

"The transition from the eighth to the ninth rank is just a matter of accumulating energy. As long as I have enough energy, I can quickly return to the ninth rank."

Lin Yuan glanced at the eternal stars in the sky, which were the divine kingdoms of true gods, theoretically containing infinite energy.

But now was not the time to stand directly against the gods.

"It seems I'll have to rely on those churches." Lin Yuan thought silently.

Churches were the human representatives of the gods, spreading their faith.

Although seventh-level demigods also established churches, they were insignificant compared to true god churches.

True god churches had means to connect with true gods and could summon divine incarnations if necessary.

Although divine incarnations couldn't use the power of divine kingdoms, they far surpassed seventh-level demigods and could dominate the human world.

However, sustaining divine incarnations required massive energy, so each true god church stored large amounts of 'divine crystals' to summon divine incarnations when needed.

To compete for faith, conflicts occasionally arose between the gods, even leading to battles between divine incarnations.

Lin Yuan's target was the 'divine crystals' stored by the churches, extremely pure energy even more pristine than 'Taiwei Pure Crystals' of the main world.

"Next, I will search for 'divine crystals.'"

With a single thought, the two Spirit understood his intention. After all, they were of one mind, sharing the same consciousness, requiring no communication.

The two Spirit incarnations, being soul bodies, were most suitable for this kind of action.

In the underground palace of Ampu City.

At this moment, members of the Order Church stood at the entrance.

"This palace should be one of the strongholds of the Lust Cult, but for some reason, it has been abandoned."

An Order Church bishop frowned. The Lust Cult had caused significant disturbances in the imperial capital, with many royal nobles indulging in the cult's pleasures.

Later, the Order Church discovered a demigod behind the Lust Cult secretly collecting faith and decisively exterminated them.

The remnants of the Lust Cult fled the imperial capital, and the Order Church had been tracking them ever since. Recently, the activities in Ampu City had caught the Order Church's attention.

When the Order Church investigated, they confirmed that the Lust Cult had been active in Ampu City.

"Bishop, we have checked. There are no clues inside the palace; it seems the cult meticulously cleared all traces." A member of the Order Church reported quietly.

"It seems..."

"The Lust Cult indeed retreated voluntarily."

The Order Church bishop nodded slightly. The palace was too clean, and from the murals and ritual remnants on the walls, he determined it was a stronghold of the Lust Cult.

"However."

Bishop Lyon of the Order Church frowned slightly.

All clues pointed to the Lust Cult voluntarily retreating.

But why would the Lust Cult retreat?

The Order Church had not discovered them yet. The Lust Cult could safely hide here and slowly develop. Why retreat suddenly?

Bishop Lyon had dealt with the Lust Cult many times, even leading the siege against them back then.

Therefore, Bishop Lyon had a deep understanding of the Lust Cult. It was a powerful cult that controlled beings through lust.

During this process, it worked silently, corroding even the most steadfast wills.

Once assimilated by 'lust,' they would provide faith to the Mother Goddess of Lust behind the cult.

If left unchecked, the Lust Cult and the Mother Goddess of Lust would eventually become a powerful true god in the Abyss of Darkness.

"What is it?"

"Would the Lust Cult, like rats, not run but wait to be sieged?" Another bishop shook his head.

"Maybe."

Bishop Lyon pondered. Although he didn't understand why the Lust Cult retreated so cleanly, these cults always acted unpredictably.

"However, the Lust Cult abandoning Ampu City means they will hide elsewhere. We must explore all regions of the empire to find their new stronghold."

Bishop Lyon ordered.
