"However, you don't need to worry too much."

"You will have a one-month New God Exemption Period."

"Over the next month, no god will be able to attack you, and you will likewise be forbidden from killing one another."

Seeing that the young people seemed frightened, the Divine Envoy smiled and spoke.

With those words, the expressions of the gathered youths indeed improved considerably.

Xiao Gui and the others, however, showed a hint of disappointment.

They had indeed set their sights on Ye Yu and several other worthless Demi-Gods.

After all, opportunities to seize Divine Sparks so easily were rare.

Unfortunately, the New God Exemption Period had shattered their plans.

"Feeling relieved now? Thinking a one-month Immunity Period will let you sleep easy?"

"Let me tell you, you're completely wrong!"

"The Immunity Period only removes external threats. In truth, during this month, Divine Tribulations will descend upon your Divine Domains!"

"A Divine Tribulation will come once every ten days, and each one will be stronger than the last!"

"This is a calamity no new god can escape!"

At that moment, the Divine Envoy's voice rang out again!

As he spoke, he observed the expressions of these rookie Demi-Gods. When he saw their stunned faces, he immediately smiled.

"Now, put away your unrealistic hopes for the future!"

"Only Demi-Gods who survive the Divine Tribulations are qualified to speak of future prospects and grand ambitions!"

"Otherwise, this time next year will be your death anniversary!"

The Divine Envoy's words took so many twists and turns that many rookies nearly broke down on the spot!

Why was becoming a god so difficult?

There were even Divine Tribulations?

Xiao Gui and the others, however, remained calm and composed!

Obviously, they were completely confident that they could survive the Divine Tribulations!

"Divine Tribulations?"

"I wonder whether my Fourth Catastrophe Believers can withstand them?"

Ye Yu thought secretly.

After that, the Divine Envoy continued explaining matters concerning Divine Tribulations, finally restoring some confidence to the rookies present.

A Demi-God's Divine Tribulation was not particularly powerful.

It merely brought some monsters into a Demi-God's Divine Domain.

As long as the Believers were strong enough, they could withstand those monsters.

"So this is what a Divine Tribulation is!"

"Isn't this like Monster Siege in a game, or a Beast Tide in a fantasy novel?"

"It's just that I have too few Believers. I don't know whether they can withstand the Divine Tribulation!"

Ye Yu felt somewhat worried.

However, worrying now was useless. He could only make plans after his Believers appeared.

"Alright, I've said everything that needed to be said!"

"Next, I will arrange rooms for you."

"For this month, stay in the Divine Temple and focus on stabilizing your Divine Domains and strengthening your Believers."

"Of course, it would be even better if you can raise your Divine Rank during this month."

"As for after the Immunity Period, so long as you do not offend Great God Arbor, the Divine City will not interfere with any of your actions."

"I hope I can still see you all in the World of Gods in the future. Do your best, rookies!"

The Divine Envoy clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, then spoke slowly.

After speaking, he led everyone straight into the Rear Hall and began arranging rooms for them.

There was much killing in the World of Gods. Although newly born Demi-Gods had a one-month Immunity Period that allowed them to avoid being hunted by higher-ranking gods,

some particularly vicious gods would keep an eye on them until their Immunity Period ended, then directly attack them!

Therefore, Arbor God City had always simply arranged for new gods to stay in the Divine Temple.

Until they safely passed their Immunity Period!

In this way, these new gods would have a month to prepare and would at least possess some ability to protect themselves.

This was a tradition of Arbor God City.

The room assigned to Ye Yu was rather small, only about four or five square meters, barely enough for one person.

If you like this book, please add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

However, Ye Yu did not care about that.

After entering his room, he immediately began studying the system.

With a thought from him, the system interface appeared before his eyes.

[Character Interface] [Host]: Ye Yu (Arbor City god citizen, unique identification number woxiajibaluanbiannixiajibaluankan078429) [Divine Name]: Undecided [Divine Title]: None [Divine Duty]: None [Divine Spark]: Demigod Spark (ordinary, weak) [Divine Rank]: Demigod Zero Star [Divine Domain]: 1 square kilometer [Divine Kingdom]: Not established [Divine City]: Not established [Divine Power]: 10 [Divine Nature]: None [Subjects (Believers)]: Fourth Catastrophe (Earth humans, Yanhuang Bloodline) [Contribution (Faith)]: 0

This was Ye Yu's current system Character Interface, pitifully weak.

"System, what is this Divine Name? What is it for?"

Looking at the unnamed Divine Name on the interface, Ye Yu asked.

"Replying to Host, a Divine Name is like a name for Earth humans. It is the sole identifying mark by which Subjects and gods recognize you."

"Friendly reminder: once a Divine Name is assigned, it cannot be changed. Please carefully consider your Divine Name."

The electronic voice rang out with an explanation.

"I understand!"

Ye Yu suddenly understood.

Put plainly, this was just a person's name.

It was merely that he was now a Demi-God, so he needed a Divine Name!

"System, I want to name myself!"

"My Divine Name shall be... Supreme Heaven-Opening, Talisman-Holding, Calendar-Ordaining, Truth-Containing, Body-Embodied, Way-Manifesting, Golden Palace, Cloud Court, Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Paths, Wuwei Great Way, Bright Hall, Vast Heaven, Golden Palace, Supreme Jade Emperor, Pardoner of Sins, Great Heavenly Venerate, Ruler of the High Heavens, God."

Ye Yu pondered briefly before reporting a long string of names.

The system fell silent for a moment, then emitted a series of mechanical crackles.

"..."

Alright, this was actually Ye Yu's little joke.

In short, it was simply the Jade Emperor!

That was right. The Divine Name Ye Yu chose was the Jade Emperor who had been beaten by a monkey in countless jokes!

As for why he chose this name?

Was it strange for Ye Yu, as a descendant of Yanhuang, to choose such a name?

In prehistoric myth-novel stories, perhaps the Jade Emperor was not the strongest, but in Yanhuang mythology, the Jade Emperor was truly supreme.

After choosing his Divine Name, Ye Yu glanced at the interface and saw that it now displayed a long string of words.

It was the absurdly impressive Divine Name he had just announced.

He nodded in satisfaction.

This name was undeniably high-class.

It was far more impressive than a Divine Name like Ramon Prosius Guevara!

His gaze passed over Divine Duty and Divine Title. Since Ye Yu was only a Demi-God, naturally he could not possess either a Divine Duty or a Divine Title.

"System, explain Divine Rank," Ye Yu asked.

"Replying to Host, so-called Divine Rank... you can understand it as a realm of cultivation in a fantasy novel."

"Every Divine Rank is divided from Zero Star to Nine Star. The Host is currently Demigod Zero Star. After you break through Nine Star, you will enter the next Divine Rank."

The system gave a brief explanation.

Ye Yu nodded. He already knew a little about Divine Rank.

In the World of Gods, besides Demi-Gods, there were Lesser Gods, Middle Gods, Great Gods, True Gods, Heavenly Gods, and so forth.

After advancing, a Demi-God could become a Lesser God, and so on.

The highest Divine Rank Ye Yu currently knew of was Heavenly God. As for whether there were other gods above Heavenly God, he did not know.

If you cannot find a book by its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!
