Outside the desolate ancient forbidden zone in the Big Dipper Star Domain.
Ye Hei sat cross-legged on a cold rock, holding a crystal-clear jade bottle.
He had just opened the exclusive red envelope from the "God of Gods."
Inside the bottle, over a dozen golden elixirs the size of dragon eyes lay quietly. The elixir's energy swirled, and auspicious light flowed, a refreshing medicinal fragrance drilling into his nostrils, reducing his exhaustion by a third.
Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs!
Although he didn't know what these things were specifically, just their appearance exuded an aura of "I'm expensive, I'm awesome."
He poured one out and swallowed it without hesitation.
A vast and mighty vital energy, like a volcanic eruption, exploded within his limbs and bones.
The numerous hidden injuries he had sustained on his path to perfecting his sacred body were washed away by this warm current, healing at an unbelievable speed.
His dried-up blood and qi became full and vigorous again, boiling.
Ye Hei suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light flashing and disappearing.
He could feel his condition returning to its peak!
These elixirs were the real deal! And they were divine objects!
Who exactly was this guy who called himself the "God of Gods"?
[Ding! Group owner "God of Gods" has recalled an exclusive red envelope.]
Ye Hei: "???"
The jade bottle in his hand, along with the remaining golden elixirs inside, vanished into thin air.
Ye Hei's face immediately darkened.
Bu Yao Bi Lian: "Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! Ye Hei, what does it feel like when the duck you've caught flies away?"
Moon Worship Cult Leader: "This item could appear and disappear out of thin air, truly miraculous. Esteemed group owner, what is the meaning of this?"
Veins twitched on Ye Hei's forehead.
God of Gods: "Sent it to the wrong person."
God of Gods: "It was originally meant for the person in the group who needed help the most."
God of Gods: "Since you've already taken one and your injuries are fully recovered, the rest must be reclaimed."
Ye Hei: "..."
He was speechless.
It seemed... logically sound?
But why did it still make him so angry?
Bu Yao Bi Lian: "Pfft! Big shot, you're amazing! This move, I'll call it a god-tier reversal! Vision, vision expanded!"
Bu Yao Bi Lian: "Big shot, look at me! I need help the most! I have old parents and young children, I'm all alone, and I'm so poor I can barely afford to eat! Please feed me!"
Just then, there was new activity in the group.
[Ding!]
[Tianxia Association Leader has joined the group chat!]
[Wudang Zhang Sanfeng has joined the group chat!]
[Playful Leopard has joined the group chat!]
The group suddenly became lively again.
Tianxia Association Leader: "Hmm? Where is this place? Who dares to play tricks and pull me into this place?"
Xiong Ba's voice carried an inherent domineering aura of a powerful figure.
Wudang Zhang Sanfeng: "Heh heh, interesting, interesting. I, this old Daoist, have been in seclusion for a hundred years, and the world has produced such a wondrous place that can gather people's spirits together. Truly inconceivable."
Playful Leopard: "Wow! Fun! What is this novel thing? It's much more fun than my imperial zoo! Who are you all? State your names!"
Bu Yao Bi Lian: "Yo, new members! Welcome, welcome! Pay protection fees first upon entering the group, or kowtow to the group owner, that works too!"
Tianxia Association Leader: "Insolent! What are you, to dare speak to me like this?"
Ye Hei: "Newcomers are advised to check the group name first."
Xiong Ba, Zhang Sanfeng, and the one called "Playful Leopard" subconsciously glanced at the golden characters at the very top of the chat window.
God of Gods.
The three newcomers fell silent simultaneously.
Shen Zhaochi's True Spirit, within the Investiture of the Gods Space, looked at these newly joined "angel investors" and nodded in satisfaction.
Xiong Ba, a powerful figure from the Fengyun world, ambitious.
Zhang Sanfeng, a martial arts legend from the Yi Tian world, a grandmaster.
Zhu Houzhao, an emperor from the Great Ming world, the Zhengde Emperor.
They were all influential figures in their respective worlds, blessed with immense fortune.
They would be perfect "regional agents" for his Godhood enterprise.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps they've just changed their name!
It was time to unveil his entrepreneurial plan.
God of Gods: "This place shall be the God Hall."
God of Gods: "I am the God of Gods."
God of Gods: "Those who enter my God Hall are all destined individuals."
God of Gods: "In the worlds where you reside, establish temples for me, sculpt my golden image, spread my divine name, and worship me day and night."
God of Gods: "Contribute devout followers, gathering immeasurable incense offerings."
God of Gods: "Upon completion, I can enfeoff you as Gods, granting you authority over your domains and eternal life."
His speech used no flowery language, merely stating the facts directly.
What I want.
What I can give you.
After a long silence, the entire Chat Group exploded.
Tianxia Association Leader: "Eternal life? Enfeoffment as Gods?!"
Xiong Ba's heart clenched.
What had he pursued his entire life? Was it not supreme dominance and eternal life!
Now, someone was telling him that he could achieve all this just by working for them?
Moon Worship Cult Leader: "So that's how it is... So what you need is faith. Trading faith for a divine position, this is a transaction."
Playful Leopard: "Building temples? I'm good at that! How big do you want it? What specifications? Is gold-glazed tile enough? Should the statue be pure gold?"
Zhu Houzhao was the most excited.
He was currently being suffocated by his imperial uncle, Zhu Wushi, and desperately needed outside help.
What kind of Iron Gallant Divine Marquis could compare to a God?
As long as he could latch onto this powerful figure, forget building a temple, he'd even convert the entire Forbidden City into a divine palace!
Wudang Zhang Sanfeng: "Establish temples and spread the doctrine... Are you trying to forge a path to Godhood?"
Having lived for over a hundred years, Zhang Sanfeng's experience was extraordinary, and he immediately saw the underlying essence of this.
This was no longer about mortal martial arts or power; it was about opening up an entirely new cultivation system.
Ye Hei: "I believe. But I don't fully believe. Good things don't just fall from the sky. The price for obtaining a divine position is likely more than just building a temple."
Tianxia Association Leader: "Empty words, who would believe you? You say you can grant divine positions, but who knows if it's true or not. Unless you can produce a divine pill like the one just now, and let me witness a miracle with my own eyes!"
Xiong Ba's mind was racing with calculations.
He wanted something for nothing.
God of Gods: "Pills are external objects."
God of Gods: "A divine position is authority, a heavenly rank, the embodiment of world rules."
God of Gods: "Believe, and it exists. Disbelieve, and it does not."
Shen Zhaochi offered no further explanation.
The opportunity had been given.
Whether they seized it was up to them.
Playful Leopard: "I believe! Hurry up and tell me, how do I build the temple? What should the statue look like? You must provide a blueprint, right? What if you don't like it after it's built?"
Zhu Houzhao was truly desperate.
He felt like he had grasped his only lifeline.
This question also stumped Shen Zhaochi.
Right.
What about the statue?
He was currently just a wisp of True Spirit, trapped within the Investiture of the Gods. He couldn't even leave this space, let alone travel to the Great Ming world.
He couldn't possibly ask Zhu Houzhao to just sculpt a clay figure, could he?
That would be too demeaning.
"System, how is this problem resolved?"
[The host is the master of the Investiture of the Gods, the source of all gods.]
[After believers build a temple and devoutly recite the host's divine name, "God of Gods," the host can then channel a wisp of divine thought, utilizing the initial faith power gathered by the temple to descend and self-condense into a divine statue.]
[The day the divine statue condenses is the day Godhood descends.]
I see.
Shen Zhaochi understood.
He leisurely replied in the group chat.
God of Gods: "No blueprints needed."
God of Gods: "Just build the temple."
God of Gods: "If your heart is sincere, I will appear myself."
Playful Leopard: "Got it! Big boss means as long as the intention is there, it's fine! I understand!"
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed the name!
