Investing the Land Gods

As Liang Ji's Natal Star advanced to the Fifth Order, the Deification List also advanced to its "Land God version," allowing him to appoint land gods among his vassals in the mortal world.

These land gods also began at the lowest rank: Seventh-Rank White Edicts.

"...In the name of the Heavenly Emperor, I appoint you Seventh-Rank White Edict Land God... You shall govern the land within ten li, and your vassals..."

"...In the name of the Heavenly Emperor, I appoint you Seventh-Rank White Edict River God of the Crimson River... You shall govern the waters of the Crimson River, and your vassals..."

"...In the name of the Heavenly Emperor, I appoint you Seventh-Rank White Edict Mountain God of Black Mountain... You shall govern the Black Mountain region, and your vassals..."

With the Fifth-Order Land God version of the Deification List, along with the power of his Fifth-Order Natal Star's origin and the Great Dao Laws, Liang Ji could support a great many Seventh-Rank White Edict land gods.

However, on this star in the mortal world, appointing Seventh-Rank White Edict land gods among his vassals was undoubtedly far more complicated than appointing Seventh-Rank White Edict Ghost Officials in the Nine Springs Underworld.

In the Underworld, all Seventh-Rank ghost gods could simply be appointed as Seventh-Rank Ghost Officials. But in the mortal world, Seventh-Rank White Edict land gods had to be appointed according to their duties and the regions under their jurisdiction—as land gods, River Gods, Mountain Gods, and so on.

Just appointing Seventh-Rank White Edict land gods had Liang Ji reciting Divine Decrees for nearly an hour. One after another, divine edicts shining with white light flew out of the Deification List and scattered across the villages, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and other places on his Natal Star, like flowers strewn
