398: The imprint of thought planted by the law

Outside the corridor, snow was falling.

Inside the corridor, the temperature was pleasant, with only gentle breezes drifting in.

The tea was boiling, making a "buzzing" sound.

"Have you recovered?"

Qin Yang asked Si Zhenfeng.

This guy was dumbfounded as soon as he heard "True God" and hadn't recovered yet.

Hearing Qin Yang call him, Si Zhenfeng finally came to his senses.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say..."

He looked flustered, as if he had something to say but dared not.

Qin Yang took a sip of tea, "I absolve you of any crime."

Granted Qin Yang's permission, Si Zhenfeng was still extremely apprehensive and stammered, "Your Majesty... did the establishment of the Divine State anger... the Gods?"

Qin Yang frowned, also bewildered.

Good heavens.

Saint Si, this person, was still too honest.

What he meant by that was not just the old saying, "The Son of Heaven is without virtue, and Heaven is enraged"?

If such words were spoken, your entire clan would thank you.

Qin Yang smiled and said, "You mean, what I do must depend on the Gods' expressions?"

Si Zhenfeng remained silent for a long time, then closed his eyes tightly and nodded fearfully.

Qin Yang understood.

In his eyes, he was still a new God, a novice compared to the True Gods who had illuminated the world for 500 years.

Qin Yang was silent for a moment, then asked Si Zhenfeng, "Do you remember that I once said I was ordained by Heaven?"

Si Zhenfeng nodded and said, "I remember, Your Majesty wanted to bestow divine authority to protect the Divine State."

Qin Yang then asked, "Did I achieve it?"

Si Zhenfeng nodded, "Your Majesty summoned the Holy Light Goddess and resurrected Sage Zhan and Dao Emperor."

"What does that prove?" Qin Yang asked again.

Si Zhenfeng: "It proves that the Supreme Divine Emperor's divine rank is above the Gods, and even above my own God."

"Then why do you think I still have to act according to the Gods' expressions?" Qin Yang slightly raised his tone.

"No, I didn't mean to offend Your Majesty..."

Si Zhenfeng's eyes trembled, and he hastily moved to kneel and apologize.

Qin Yang stopped him and said, "I don't blame you, speak clearly."

After his panic, Si Zhenfeng said with a strange expression, "I don't know why, but I just feel that the Gods are the highest."

Qin Yang listened, stared at Si Zhenfeng for ten full seconds, then suddenly said, "Thought Imprint!?"

"What did Your Majesty say?"

Qin Yang did not answer Si Zhenfeng, his eyes showing a solemn expression.

Immediately, he spoke to the wind and snow outside the corridor, "Bring Zhang Lingxiao here."

As his voice fell, a bell rang.

Then, a chorus of voices from thousands of people shouted, "The Supreme Divine Emperor has a decree! Summon the National Preceptor, Zhang Lingxiao, for an audience!"

This was Qin Yang's new skill, "Imperial Edict," which could transform Qin Yang's decree into thunder and transmit it to the Lower Realm.

It could be cast on a single person or an entire area, and it could cross space.

To put it plainly, it was a sound transmission skill, but it was very showy.

Imagine, at this moment, Zhang Lingxiao was dozing in a grand master's chair.

Half-asleep, a series of thunderclaps suddenly exploded in his ears.

Immediately after, he heard the Supreme Divine Emperor's decree.

This level of grandeur, Qin Yang felt, was a bit excessive.

But even with this level of display, the people of this world would still believe the True Gods were more powerful.

At this moment, Qin Yang had realized a serious problem.

The people of this world might have been implanted with a "Thought Imprint" by Law.

[The Gods are the highest.

Humans cannot surpass the Gods.]

After his Awakening, Qin Yang had repelled Gods three times.

The God of War, the God of Truth, the Omniscient Eye - his achievements were verifiable.

If there were no "Gods are Supreme" Thought Imprint.

The current Si Zhenfeng would not still believe that Gods were invincible.

That is to say.

If this Thought Imprint was not resolved.

Qin Yang, let alone the entire world.

Even the Divine State, he would not be able to completely control.

Professional power was the only reliance of Professionals.

Coupled with the Thought Imprint, they would only obey the Gods of their respective professional systems.

If the God of War, the God of Elements, and the God of Creation wanted to target him, all it would take was one sentence: Qin Yang is an Evil God, and Elebella is too.

Not 100%, but at least 80% of Warriors, Mages, and Mechanist Professionals would choose to believe them.

Qin Yang's eyes grew solemn.

To unite the people of the Divine State on his side amidst the Gods' divisions, he must start by breaking the "Thought Imprint."

Qin Yang had succeeded in this type of matter once before.

That was when he awakened the Gun Emperor Zheng Yunfei, who had been hypnotized by an illusion.

At that time, Su Daji used "Bewilder the World" to implant a "Thought Imprint" in reverse.

Making Zheng Yunfei firmly believe he was hypnotized within a second.

This directly destroyed the illusion's continuity, preventing Luo Fu Child from effectively controlling him later on.

In contrast, the "Thought Imprint" planted by Law on humans could also be washed away in this manner.

That was to make them believe they were superior to the Gods.

Although this was a short-term effect.

But the Thought Imprint was both firm and fragile.

As long as two thoughts conflicted, a rift would appear.

Once a rift existed, the seed of doubt could be planted and would take root and sprout!

"Theoretically feasible, but one problem also needs to be solved."

"Although Bewilder the World can be cast over an area, the range cannot extend to a city or a country."

"To remove the Thought Imprint from everyone in the world, other methods must be used."

Qin Yang mused.

What he could think of now was Zhang Lingxiao's "Sky Screen."

This Sky Screen could allow everyone in the world to see the same image.

Qin Yang's original intention was to use the Sky Screen to show off.

But now, it had become the key to victory.

"If the Sky Screen could reflect the illusion of Bewilder the World..."

"Then, in just an instant, everyone in the world could become atheists!"

Qin Yang thought to himself, just waiting for Zhang Lingxiao to arrive to confirm it.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded.

"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, National Preceptor Zhang Lingxiao requests an audience."

A palace maid in a magnificent robe bowed from a distance outside the corridor.

"Let him in," Qin Yang replied.

The Lv9 Imperial Dragon Carriage was already fully equipped.

It had palace maids, guards, and eunuchs, all that should be there.

If he didn't already have similar skills, Qin Yang would have considered using the temporary imperial residence as a palace in the Human Realm.

After a short while, a figure in a purple Daoist robe drifted in from outside the hall.

Zhang Lingxiao, looking half-asleep, landed outside the courtyard, then walked in and bowed deeply to Qin Yang.

"Divine Emperor, your subject has come for an audience as summoned..."

"Come up and have some tea."

Seeing his dejected look, Qin Yang asked, "National Preceptor, why are you so listless?"

Zhang Lingxiao walked and said, "Your Majesty wasn't going to display the Sky Screen to the whole world, was he? I've been researching it for the past two days, haven't slept in days. I just dozed off for a bit, then heard a clap of thunder that almost shattered my soul."

It really woke him up.

Qin Yang chuckled, "Other Daoists cultivate Five Thunder Formations, but you, a Daoist, are afraid of thunder."

"Hehe, I've done too many Heaven-Defying things," Zhang Lingxiao said with an embarrassed smile.

Qin Yang said, "That's good, I called you here because I want to do something even more Heaven-Defying."

Zhang Lingxiao's eyes lit up, "Hey! If Your Majesty talks about that, I won't be sleepy anymore!"
