Zheng Fa stretched out his hand and took the Silver Scroll floating in the void in front of him. He found that there was a red frame on the cover of Silver Scroll, and the frame was blank, as if waiting for him to write something.
He tried to open the pages, but the book seemed to be stuck together and would not move no matter how hard he tried.
I tried putting Divine Sense into it, but it had no response.
"Brother Zheng, you have to write your name on the cover with Divine Sense. This God-Investiture Register will be considered the master."
Yan Wushuang's reminder came from behind.
Zheng Fa Write your name with Divine Sense as he said, and sure enough, the sea of consciousness seems to have established a the Unseen connection with the book.
His heart moved, and God-Investiture Register, who was not very obedient just now, obediently opened his body according to his wishes.
There is a map on the first page of the book. It is very rough, in a style where you can't quite understand the east, west, north, and south.
It really tests people's imagination.
There are two words written on the second page: Heavenly Merit, followed by a zero.
There are some changes in the content starting from the third page.
The third page says how many Heavenly Thunder should be somewhere at a certain time tomorrow, how big Heavenly Thunder should be, and even how many inches and feet long it should be.
On the fourth page, it is written how much rain it should rain somewhere in the future. The rules are very clear.
There are almost ten pages with similar words.
Afterwards, Zheng Fa becomes even more incomprehensible.
"The front is the calendar, and the back is Law Technique--well, the unfinished Law Technique." Yan Wushuang and others walked to Zheng Fa and explained, his face was a little bitter. "This is the reason why I said Heavenly Stele World made me scratch my head."
Zheng Fa looked at these people and felt that their attitudes towards him had changed somewhat.
Yan Wushuang couldn't tell, but the Chu Tianque two people around him, including the monks who came in later, seemed to look at him a little differently.
His face seemed a little confused.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, the first seal is five thousand miles Fief, which really surprised us."
Zheng Fa looked at Silver Scroll in his hand and felt a little awakened.
"All of you?"
"Among these Heavenly Stele Realm, the first one is Fief who is five thousand miles away. I only know myself." Yan Wushuang said with a smile, "Of course, I don't know them either. There are people who entered Heavenly Stele, but... Judging from my ranking of Heavenly Merit Ranking, even if there are other people who entered Silver Scroll from the beginning, there won't be too many."
"Silver Scroll..." Zheng Fa raised his hands towards Yan Wushuang and asked, "I wonder what these Fief and Heavenly Merit are?"
"Brother Zheng, you will know about this sooner or later." Yan Wushuang sighed, "This is what I slowly discovered in the past few days."
"When we first entered Heavenly Stele Realm, we were confused, but later we realized that this god is like an official in a secular dynasty. This Fief is our jurisdiction, and our duty is to govern our own Fief."
Zheng Fa nodded, he could understand this.
"It's nothing. We also have people who have experienced themselves as officials in the secular world." Yan Wushuang said softly, "The trouble is that in this world, except for Thunder Method, there is no way to use Law Technique talismans or even Law Treasure."
"Yes, I also discovered this as soon as I entered this world."
"Because of this, Heavenly Merit is in trouble." Zheng Fa heard Yan Wushuang continue, "How Heavenly Merit is measured, I haven't figured out yet."
"But from now on, if you use those Law Technique to punish evil and promote good, and control the criminal law, you can get Heavenly Merit."
"According to this calendar, taking charge of Heavenly Thunder, controlling clouds and rain, and even promoting mulberry farming are also Heavenly Merit."
"Of course, you can get Heavenly Merit by reproducing the people."
"And Heavenly Merit can upgrade the area of Fief, and can also exchange spiritual materials in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion."
"This... is all about governing the people?" Zheng Fa understood a little after hearing this. "Doesn't it sound difficult?"
Yan Wushuang smiled bitterly and said, "We thought it was not difficult at first, but... Junior Brother Zheng, if you go to Fief and take a look, you will know why we thought it was difficult."
"Huh?"
"Junior Brother Zheng, we have a guess... If you want to do all the things in this calendar, Thunder Method must have spiritual power."
"Psychic?"
"It's... the whole Xuanwei, the Thunder Method accomplishments that no one can achieve, and no one can perfect the Law Technique that seem impossible."
Seeing that he still didn't seem to understand, Yan Wushuang pointed at the God-Investiture Register and said:
"Brother Zheng, if you read back, you will know that the Thunder Method in God-Investiture Register is actually divided into three categories."
"Three major categories?"
"The first type is the most common, which is Heavenly Tribulation Lightning." Yan Wushuang explained, "This is used to punish evil and promote good. Most of us also rely on this Thunder Method to accumulate Heavenly Merit, but we haven't figured out how to actually control the power of the tribulation thunder."
"The second category is much more difficult, called Cloud-Rain Lightning."
"Cloud-Rain Lightning?"
"It is to use Heavenly Thunder to control the clouds and rain..." Yan Wushuang also had a look of helplessness on his face. "This is the reconciliation of the clouds and rains mentioned during the Conferment of the Gods. It is a little more difficult than the thunder. Look at the calendar, the rain has to be as fine as a millimeter. Not to mention the relationship between Thunder Method and the clouds and rains. It is impossible to control this speed..."
Zheng Fa was stunned when he heard this - isn't this using electromagnetic force to realize and control rainfall?
Seeing his expression, Yan Wushuang seemed to think that he had realized the difficulty, and said bitterly, "This is difficult enough, but the most difficult thing is the third category - using Thunder Method to promote the growth of vegetation."
"Is this... related?" Zheng Fa couldn't understand after hearing this.
"I spent a lot of thought on this matter later." Yan Wushuang explained, "Later, I found out from the Xuanwei Realm that the cultivation of Spirit Plant actually relies heavily on Thunder. Many sects who are good at cultivating Spirit Plant believe that Heavenly Thunder contains vitality..."
"Vitality?"
"Yes, for example, the spring thunder in the Awakening of Insects season can give birth to Spirit Plant." Yan Wushuang explained, "But if we use Thunder Method to simulate this spring thunder, we have no clue - the Law Technique on this God-Investiture Register doesn't seem to be very effective."
"..."
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered the problem of modern Spirit Plant training - Professor Tian said there was a lack of a certain environment, if what Yan Wushuang said was true.
So this environment seems to be related to some kind of Heavenly Thunder?
The evidence for this conjecture is quite weak, and it is difficult for Zheng Fa to determine its authenticity.
But Yan Wushuang was so sure that he was a little more interested in Heavenly Stele.
"Although I can't do these things, it is not difficult to accumulate some Heavenly Merit on weekdays and exchange them for some spiritual materials suitable for our cultivation in the Myriad Treasures Hall." Yan Wushuang continued, "There is no danger in this Heavenly Stele Realm, so I have to come here once a month."
"Can this Heavenly Merit be exchanged only for spiritual materials?"
Zheng Fa asked.
"Of course not. When we accumulate Heavenly Merit, firstly, we can expand Fief, and secondly, we can redeem some Thunder Method - this God-Investiture Register Several types of Thunder Method in are the most basic, and some Thunder Method are placed in the Myriad Treasures Hall and need to be exchanged with Heavenly Merit."
"So Brother Zheng, I am so enviable because I have five thousand miles Fief from the beginning." Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "The more Fief you have, the more people you have, and the faster you accumulate Heavenly Merit."
After talking to Zheng Fa for a few words, Yan Wushuang seemed to be busy accumulating Heavenly Merit and said goodbye to him.
According to Yan Wushuang, Zheng Fa input spiritual power into God-Investiture Register.
After God-Investiture Register absorbed his spiritual power, it slammed into his forehead. Zheng Fa's whole body turned into an illusion, but Divine Sense followed God-Investiture Register to a place between heaven and earth.
Before he could observe the surrounding environment, Zheng Fa was attracted by the scene in the sky.
He seemed to see Thunder Pool upside down in the sky, Heavenly Thunder being unreasonable and wandering unscrupulously between heaven and earth.
The sky was gloomy, as if it had never cleared up.
In such weather, rain is inevitable, and the heavy rain in front of us seems to have never stopped.
The land under your feet is more like a swamp than land, full of mushy muddy water.
This is his five thousand miles Fief?
Looking at Zeguo on the ground, Zheng Fa had some conjectures in his mind: If there were really ordinary people in this world, they probably wouldn't live very well.
His Divine Soul wandered around Fief for several days. As he walked, he estimated that the area of Fief was really not small.
According to modern weights and measures, this area covers approximately one million square kilometers - an area that would make it at least a medium-sized country in modern times.
But... no one.
In such a large place, there are only about a dozen human settlements, with a combined population of less than half a million...
This is understandable - from his observations over the past few days, 99.9% of the land in this region is not suitable for human survival, let alone cultivating crops.
On this day, his Divine Soul came to a high mountain. Looking up the mountain, he saw a city built on the hill. Through God-Investiture Register, Zheng Fa also knew that the population here was about seventy or eighty thousand, making it one of the largest cities on his Fief.
This small town has no gates and can be said to be just a residential area.
The structure of the house is very strange. The house is very short and seems to be mostly buried in the ground. Only the roof is thick and sloped, which seems to be to prevent lightning and drainage.
Most of the people in the small town were wearing linen clothes made of a kind of aquatic vine. They were thin and their faces were pale as if they could not see the sun. It was hard to tell whether their expressions were numb or stoic.
These linen clothes are probably also very precious.
Most of the men were shirtless, exposing their rugged and thin ribs.
Women actually just have a little extra coverage on their breasts. To be honest, most women can't be said to be pretty--
They are thinner than men, and many have no discernible gender characteristics.
In the innermost part of the town, close to the cliff, there is a house with the highest roof and the widest roof. It is said to be tall and wide, but in fact it is only one and a half feet high and three to four feet wide.
This is a temple, and the color of the statue standing inside has long since peeled off, and its facial features are even blurry.
There are not many people in the temple, but there is always a steady stream of people.
They knelt on the ground to pray for blessings and worship, but there was not much piety on their faces, and they seemed to be doing something routine and even treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
Zheng Fa Divine Soul flew into the statue.
I felt that the chattering in my ears were all the voices of these worshipers.
Probably because of God-Investiture Register, he can understand the language of this world.
" Master Thunder God has not appeared for many years..."
"I hope I can catch a few more fish today..."
"Let it rain less..."
"My son was struck by lightning. He is a good boy. Master Thunder God, have mercy..."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his ears, making him feel extremely noisy.
What makes God even more chilling is that they only pray for blessings and don't offer any offerings.
It seems that he really lacks some trust in his master Thunder God.
To be honest, it is difficult for God to do things with this kind of attitude...
But Zheng Fa listens to what Yan Wushuang says - this is their main means of accumulating Heavenly Merit, listening to the voices of believers and judging good and evil.
Then kill a few bad guys.
You just need to control the intensity of the tribulation thunder. According to the rules of God-Investiture Register, different evil deeds require different punishments from the tribulation thunder.
Of course Yan Wushuang they can't do it so precisely. It's completely blind, and as long as they hit more people, there will always be the right moment.
This is also the reason why Zheng Fa chose this city. There are many people, so it is easier to accumulate Heavenly Merit.
Thinking about it this way, he understood why those monks with small territory seemed so envious of him.
As for what drives clouds and rain, regulates yin and yang, and promotes agriculture and mulberry trees.
Sorry, can't do it!
Finally it was night.
No one comes here to worship.
Only one girl stayed. She closed the door of Temple and swept the floor.
He took out a dark linen cloth and wiped the bottom of the altar table and the statue.
Zheng Fa looked at this girl and could not tell how old she was.
Judging by his face, he seems to be seventeen or eighteen years old.
Looking at her figure, she looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old - she is really too thin.
Is this my temple blessing?
Is it a little too young?
After the girl finished cleaning, she put away the linen, bowed devoutly towards Zheng Fa, and murmured to herself:
"Master Thunder God, I'm ready to eat your offering! If you don't agree, I'll show you!"
Zheng Fa was stunned.
Then the girl said again, "You agree? Thank you Mr. Thunder God!"
Zheng Fa watched the girl happily take a few unknown fruits from the altar table and stuff them into her mouth - these things were also offered by believers, and it seemed that they were not offered today - no one seemed to offer fruits today.
But the girl secretly saved it herself.
"Master Thunder God." The girl wolfed down her food and muttered, "If you don't show up, no one will give you fruit, and I will starve to death..."
"..."
"I'm starving to death. I can't find anyone in this city who is willing to clean for you!"
As the girl spoke, her tone actually sounded like Master Thunder God, it's up to you.
"Well..."
As Zheng Fa thought, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in Temple.
The girl was startled and looked towards the statue where Zheng Fa was.
She seemed to remember her somewhat disrespectful words just now, and her expression was quite frightening.
After staying for a while, the girl didn't stop chewing the wild fruit.
Although she didn't speak, Zheng Fa also heard her thoughts:
"Be a full-fledged devil!"
As if Zheng Fa was not angry, the girl cautiously approached the statue, raised her head and whispered softly, "Master Thunder God, are you still there?"
"..."
Zheng Fa made no sound, and the girl looked confused. In the end, she thought she was hallucinating.
After staying in Heavenly Stele World for a month, Zheng Fa suddenly felt a force pushing him. When he regained consciousness, he was completely outside Heavenly Stele.
He walked outside.
Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Yuan were both waiting for him.
Seeing him coming out, Senior Sister Zhang had a slight smile on his face.
"Junior brother, how is it inside?"
Zheng Fa recounted what he had seen and heard. Senior Sister Zhang slowly frowned, seeming to be thinking about the meaning, "Are you going to use Thunder Method to pursue the great road?"
Hearing Senior Sister Zhang's words, Zheng Fa turned to look at Heavenly Stele - is this the purpose of this thing?
"Senior sister, I have an idea..." Zheng Fa said another thing.
"Huh?"
"This Heavenly Stele, if it is controlled by others, it would be fine. If it can be controlled by me, Nine Mountains Sect." Zheng Fa said softly, "There are plenty of Spiritual Qi inside, and the rules are special..."
"You mean..." Senior Sister Zhang's eyes lit up.
"I thought that if there is a catastrophe in the future and Spiritual Opportunity declines, this place may be my Nine Mountains Sect's escape route." Zheng Fa's eyes were shining. He didn't know if others had this idea, but the more Zheng Fa understood this Heavenly Stele World, the more he felt that compared to those spiritual materials, the world itself was the greatest treasure.
The population is small, and Spiritual Qi is not bad either.
The most important thing is that although other Law Technique cannot be used, cultivation is not hindered.
