Five-star Demigod, Terrifying

Fat sheep!

Wodema was definitely a fat sheep!

He'd provided Ye Yu with over a million Contribution points!

1,224,500!

"After this round, deducting the rewards given to the players..."

"I'll still have at least nearly a million Contribution points left!"

"Converted into Divine Power, that's over 100,000!"

"With that, after adding a few new features to Inside Immortal Path, it should be enough to let me advance to Five-star Demigod!"

"Truly, killing gods feels good for a while, and killing gods all the time feels great forever!"

Ye Yu was extremely satisfied.

Taking the Hunt path meant leveling up faster than gods who followed the Faith path.

Of course, the Hunt path wasn't without risks.

Without strong strength and hidden cards, it was easy for righteous gods to strike you down in the name of justice.

But Ye Yu wasn't afraid.

He was a Hacker—given time, crushing the World of Gods was no big deal.

"First, let's hand out rewards to the players!"

Ye Yu pondered briefly and made his decision.

The players were the foundation of his strength.

If he ate meat, he had to let the players have some soup.

"System, draw 200,000 Contribution points and distribute them to the players based on their Nation War scores!"

With that, Ye Yu commanded the system.

"Got it, Host!"

The system replied and began allocating the rewards.

A few seconds later, a game announcement echoed inside Inside Immortal Path.

"Dear players, Nation War rewards have been distributed. Please check your inbox!"

The announcement made the already excited players even more jubilant.

They all started checking.

200,000 Contribution points might seem like a lot.

But there were several thousand players participating in the Nation War!

When those points were handed out to the players, there wasn't much left per person.

Of course, players like Gu Du and Xiong Da always got the lion's share.

Notably, in this Nation War, the top contributor was none other than Kaitou Kid.

His Sleight of Hand Technique had nearly driven Wodema insane.

That was what led to Wodema's string of bad moves afterward.

Second place wasn't Gu Du or Xiong Da.

Nor was it Bao Lao Er or Cannot Eat Peach!

It was a player no one expected—Peach Can Eat!

That's right, Sister-in-law Peach, the one who'd called Wodema a mistress and fought him tooth and nail!

Thanks to her Turtle Fist and Cat Claw Skill, she was the only player besides Ye Yu who actually landed attacks on Wodema!

So, under the system's judgment, she earned a ton of Contribution points!

Next came the usual core players like Gu Du.

Each of them got anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand Contribution points.

As for the ordinary players, most only got a few dozen points as a participation prize.

With that, the 200,000 Contribution points were split among the players, to everyone's delight.

"System, customize some sect NPCs for me!"

"As for the number... let's start with three—for crafting, alchemy, and quests!"

"Handle the backgrounds and NPC templates yourself!"

Ye Yu continued commanding the system.

"Got it, Host. That'll be 100,000 Contribution points!"

The system replied and directly deducted 100,000 Contribution points from Ye Yu.

Calculated, each NPC is worth 33,333 Contribution Points.

Seconds later, the electronic voice rang out again!

"NPC customization complete!"

"The three NPCs will appear at Lingxiao Immortal Palace over the next three days."

Ye Yu nodded at this.

For players, the biggest selling point of Immortal Path was its 100% realism.

If you can't find the book by title, try searching by author—maybe it just changed names!

So even the game's NPCs wouldn't just pop out of thin air.

Instead, they'd join Lingxiao Immortal Palace for various reasons.

This made the players feel a stronger sense of realism.

"Three NPCs, covering the players' equipment, potions, and quest needs!"

"What else should I work on next?"

Ye Yu soon fell into thought again.

The three NPCs handled equipment forging, alchemy, and quests!

They wouldn't just sell gear, potions, and skill manuals to players.

They'd also unlock the Life Professions of forging and alchemy.

"For quests, I can have the quest NPC hand out more exploration missions!"

"The Divine Domain is already this vast, but the players' active area is at most a few dozen square kilometers—what a waste!"

"I need them to explore more. Besides, my Divine Domain is now rich in resources!"

"That saves me from having to buy monster templates!"

These basic functions were enough for now.

After all, Immortal Path was a cultivation game.

Equipment and the like were far less important than players awakening their own unique path of cultivation!

"Alright, I'll exchange for a few advanced skills!"

"Otherwise, with only basic skills and a Collapsing Fist, it's just too shabby!"

Thinking it over, Ye Yu opened the exchange interface again.

He scanned it and quickly picked out a few affordable skills.

Sword Drawing Technique, worth 5,000 Contribution Points!

Mountain Splitting Palm, worth 5,000 Contribution Points!

Buddhist Golden Bell Shield, worth 8,000 Contribution Points!

The new skills cost Ye Yu over 50,000 Contribution Points.

That shrank his Contribution Points back to around 850,000.

Barely enough to advance to a Five-star Demigod.

"Exchange the remaining Contribution Points all for Divine Power!"

"Then, advance to Five-star Demigod!"

As Ye Yu's words fell, a faint white glow gradually emanated from his body!

The next moment, his Divine Rank rose from Three-star Demigod to Four-star, then to Five-star!

Before the ten days were up, Ye Yu had already become a Five-star Demigod!

His pace far outstripped geniuses like Xiao Gui!

Truly terrifying!

With everything settled, Ye Yu moved his Divine Sense and withdrew from the Divine Domain.

Arbor God Temple.

Divine Envoy Shabi stared unblinkingly at the Divine War Stage.

Though the battle's outcome wasn't yet clear, A nagging unease lingered in his heart.

Even though Shabi couldn't see Ye Yu or Wodema at all, The Divine Power fluctuations from Wodema's position were far too frequent!

That was hardly a good sign!

"Could Wodema fall to Ye Yu's hands like Ma Baoguo?"

"But what gives Ye Yu the right to beat them?"

Shabi's mind was a tangled mess.

The bystanders around him, lacking Shabi's strength, were naturally not as sensitive to the Divine Power fluctuations on the Divine War Stage!

Still, the onlookers stared intently at the Divine War Stage, their focus unwavering.

Couldn't see the action? Then they'd just imagine it!

In the minds of these novices who had never experienced a divine battle, they had already conjured up scenes of Ye Yu and Wodema fighting so fiercely that the sky cracked and the sun and moon went dark!

Xiao Gui's eyelids drooped low, the expression on his face shifting unpredictably.

Ever since the divine war began, his heart had not known a moment's peace.

Every time he pictured Ye Yu being slain by Wodema, Xiao Gui's spine couldn't stop a cold sweat from seeping out.

"Ye Yu, you absolutely cannot die!"

"Consider this... consider this my plea to you!"
