Demon Extermination Mission, Watching the Blue Star Deity Exterminate Demons

[Name]: Mountain Leveling Divine Talisman

[Rank]: First-Order Divine Talisman

[Effect]: Upon use, it can level any mountain no taller than three hundred zhang into fertile soil.

It really is literal...

Directly leveling a mountain?

Li Yue was somewhat amazed.

To level mountains and fill seas—this was an absolutely terrifying divine ability.

With his rank as a Subordinate Ninth Rank deity, normally, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

But now—

Just by completing [Personal Quest—Two], he had obtained a divine talisman containing such terrifying power!

Although there were restrictions.

It could only level peaks under three hundred zhang in height, but the mountains surrounding Four Seas Village were not particularly towering; none of them exceeded three hundred zhang.

I'll hold onto this divine talisman for now.

Four Seas Village is nowhere near needing a mountain leveled.

Besides, with so few believers right now, using the power to level mountains and fill seas would be a real waste...

I wonder if any Blue Star Deity has put a 'Mountain Leveling Divine Talisman' up for sale?

Li Yue's thoughts stirred.

Over these past seventeen days, his Incense Wish Power had converted into eleven strands of Divine Power, with five more from quest rewards and one consumed for a dream visitation.

He currently possessed eighty-nine strands of Divine Power.

The amount of Incense Wish Power he could harvest daily had also reached seven hundred and eighty-two strands.

Almost every three days, he could harvest two strands of Divine Power.

Over the course of a year, that would be over two hundred strands of Divine Power.

Moreover, the number of believers would continue to grow.

He opened the "Regional Trading" interface to take a look.

However, it was a pity—

There wasn't a single 'Mountain Leveling Divine Talisman' listed.

I'll check again in a few days.

After all, I've only just completed [Personal Quest—Two], so I imagine the vast majority of Blue Star Deities haven't finished it yet.

He murmured softly.

Though, surely some Blue Star Deities must have completed it.

After all, the first two quests had little to do with a deity's rank.

Whether one was a Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God or an unranked Wild God, both had the potential to quickly complete the first two quests.

But this third quest...

His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the third "Personal Quest."

[Personal Quest—Three]

[Quest Description]: The number of believers who worship you is growing; your existence will sooner or later attract the attention of the wolf demons on Thousand Wolf Mountain. Strike first to gain the advantage; eliminate the wolf demons and protect your believers.

[Quest Objective]: Eliminate the wolf demons on Thousand Wolf Mountain.

[Quest Reward]: One 'Spirit Field Divine Talisman', five First-Order 'Blessing Talismans', and thirty strands of Divine Power.

The wolf demons on Thousand Wolf Mountain...

Li Yue murmured.

From the prayers of his believers, he had gained some understanding of this region.

Four Seas Village was located about twenty li to the west of 'Cangmu Town', deep within the mountains.

Within this deep mountain range, there were four villages in total.

And less than ten li to the north of these four villages stood the tallest peak in this entire mountain range.

This peak was Thousand Wolf Mountain!

Thousand Wolf Mountain was home to a large number of wild wolves, and among them lived a terrifying wolf demon.

Every three years.

The wolf demons would emerge once every so often, randomly selecting one of the four villages to snatch and devour people.

Each time, they would not stop until they had consumed nine victims.

The original Li Family Village had been quite fortunate, having gone nine full years without being chosen by the wolf demons.

Chen Family Village had not been so lucky; three years ago, the wolf demons had devoured nine of their adult men.

That was why they had so easily merged into Li Family Village to become Four Seas Village.

Because the terror of the wolf demons still lingered in their hearts!

They yearned to receive the protection of a deity so they would no longer be harmed by the wolf demons.

They also longed to become Martial Artists, possessing the strength to stand against the wolf demons.

"I wonder what level of strength the wolf demons on Thousand Wolf Mountain possess."

"Comparing them to the strength of Martial Artists in this world..."

"An unranked Wild God, if their Divine Power is sufficient, roughly possesses the strength of a second-tier limit."

"And a Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God roughly possesses the strength of a fourth-tier limit..."

"A fourth-tier limit."

"In this world, the fourth tier is called the 'Yin-Yang Realm', and those who reach it are known as Grandmasters."

His gaze flickered.

Based on his understanding.

A Grandmaster of the fourth-tier 'Yin-Yang Realm' was already considered an extremely formidable powerhouse on the Martial Path in this world.

Of course--

This was merely the perspective of Li Youming, Li Deyang, and the others.

What status a fourth-tier 'Yin-Yang Realm' Grandmaster truly held in this world would only become clear once he understood this world in greater detail.

However--

Since they were called Grandmasters, they could not possibly be weak.

"It's just that I don't know what level the wolf demons of Thousand Wolf Mountain are at..."

"And I don't know what the weakest level of Demonic Creatures in this world is..."

He muttered to himself.

On this point, even Li Youming and Li Deyang, the two most knowledgeable people in the village, could not say for sure.

They only knew--

That only by practicing martial arts could one contend with Demonic Creatures.

But exactly what level of Martial Artist was required to fight them remained unknown.

"Let's first see how the other Blue Star Deity candidates complete this task..."

"I imagine everyone's starting point is about the same..."

"The strength level of the Demonic Creatures faced in the third task shouldn't differ much either."

His expression remained calm.

Although he had become a deity, he would still not be reckless.

After all, now that he had become a deity, how could he not cherish his life!

He opened the "Regional Chat" interface and began to read slowly.

He did not post anything, choosing only to lurk and watch.

He believed--

If anyone went to complete the third task, there would surely be plenty of people who couldn't wait to share it.

Even if they were on the verge of death.

They would still have to post about it first!

"The first two tasks were the same for everyone."

"The third task shouldn't have much difference either."

He sat cross-legged in his "Divine Domain," reading the chat of the Blue Star Deity candidates with great interest.

In this dull and tedious world.

His greatest pleasure was watching these silly deities chat.

If not for the "Regional Chat" interface, he wouldn't know how to pass the time.

After all, as a deity.

He didn't need to spend time cultivating; he only needed to pay attention to the development of his Believers.

He had far too much free time every day.

The information on the Regional Chat interface was refreshing at an incredible speed.

There were far more idle gods than just him.

He lurked in the shadows like this for three days.

His spirits lifted slightly; he finally saw a god livestreaming their attempt at the third Personal Quest.

[Brothers and sisters, I've seen many of you asking about the strength of the Demonic Creatures in the third quest over the past two days. Well, today, I'm here!]

[The first two quests weren't exactly difficult, and many of you have already completed them, but the third quest is different. This is a quest to slay demons and eliminate evil!]

[As unranked Wild Gods, our strength is roughly at the limit of the Second Rank, while a consecrated Temple Keeper is about at the upper level of the First Rank. I've saved up fifteen units of Divine Power, which allows me to cast the Golden Blade Art fifteen times.]

[I have just issued a divine oracle, ordering my Temple Keeper to lure the target of the third quest into the village. Wish me luck, everyone; I shall test the demon myself to gauge the strength of the third quest's target for all my brothers and sisters!]

More than four hours later.

The other party spoke again.

[The Demonic Creature has entered the village! Pictures or it didn't happen! Wild Boar Demon.jpg]

[I'm going in! Wait for my update!]
