Li Yue stared blankly at the information before him.
He was utterly bewildered.
The information that had appeared in his mind earlier had clearly told him that the offerings collected during the two Grand Sacrifices each year would receive a twenty-percent amplification.
In other words, 1.2 times!
But now—
What was this hundredfold amplification?
He immediately opened "Regional Chat."
If he still had a physical body, he felt his heart would surely be pounding violently right now.
The moment he opened the "Regional Chat" interface—
A flood of messages began scrolling past.
[Damn! A Believer offered me the corpse of a first-rank Fire Fox. The twenty-percent amplification is pretty good; it's grown a whole size bigger!] [The ten-year-old Bone-Strengthening Flower turned into a twelve-year-old one!] [Freshly made premium Blood-Qi Pills! They've received a twenty-percent amplification, and I'm selling them for just three divine power each!] [Wait... are you all adapting this quickly? I'm still completely dumbfounded.] [Would any kind-hearted big brother lend me two divine power~? Once little sister gets a body, I'll send you the real deal~] [Looking for a CP! I'm a sweet southern girl, looking for a CP who can keep each other warm!] [Oh my god! I just found a dog demon outside my Believers' village! It's so scary—!] [Anyone need a first-rank broadsword? Two divine power each.] [Holy crap! I'm completely numb. My Believers' offering was a stolen married woman? My Believers are a whole band of bandits!]
"So it looks like everyone else really is getting a twenty-percent amplification..."
"Only my offerings are getting hundredfold amplification?"
Li Yue's face was full of delight.
The difference between a hundredfold amplification and a twenty-percent amplification was enormous.
A twenty-percent amplification—
Could only improve the quality of a first-rank item a little.
But a hundredfold amplification?
It could turn a first-rank item into a fourth-rank one!
The advantage was simply too great!
Looks like I really did get a cheat ability in this mass transmigration!
He opened the "Regional Trading" interface.
Here, Deities from the same region could trade with each other.
They could also sell any valuable items to the "Deity Shop."
Of course, the "Deity Shop" prices would certainly be low.
Or rather—
The main purpose of the "Deity Shop" was to set a price for an item.
"Going by the messages I just saw in 'Regional Chat'..."
"A first-rank item is priced at around one thousand units of Incense Wish Power in the 'Deity Shop,' which is about one divine power."
"A first-rank item after a twenty-percent amplification is worth around fifteen hundred units of Incense Wish Power."
"That's clearly worth more than twenty percent extra."
"So what about my hundredfold-amplified offering?"
He looked at the Dragon Blood Flame Grass he had just collected and received after a hundredfold amplification.
The entire Dragon Blood Flame Grass hovered within the "Divine Domain," glowing with a brilliant crimson light. Vaguely, a little dragon-shaped wisp could be seen circling around it.
In terms of appearance—
It far surpassed the first-rank Body Strengthening Grass that had been placed on the offering table earlier.
He reached out and grabbed the Dragon Blood Flame Grass, then focused his mind.
In an instant—
The fourth-rank Dragon Blood Flame Grass vanished and appeared in the "Deity Shop."
A great deal of information appeared alongside it.
[Name]: Dragon Blood Flame Grass [Rank]: Fourth-rank [Effect]: When consumed by a human third-rank martial artist at the peak of the Origin Essence Realm, it gives them a fifty-percent chance of breaking through and becoming a fourth-rank martial artist of the Yin-Yang Realm. [Price]: Three hundred and sixty divine power
"Three hundred and sixty divine power!"
Li Yue's face lit up with delight.
That was nearly eight years' worth of Incense Wish Power from all his current Believers!
And it was more than enough to raise his Divine Seat from "Unranked" to "Subordinate Ninth Rank"!
Once he was promoted,
He would no longer be a Wild God, but a bona fide Lord of the Land!
He was off to a start far better than the other Wild Gods from Blue Star!
Others were still racking their brains over one or two divine power.
He had easily obtained three hundred and sixty.
"It's like playing a game with cheats on..."
"This feeling..."
"Feels incredible!"
He muttered to himself, the smile at the corners of his mouth impossible to suppress even with the Heaven-Turning Seal.
Without a moment's hesitation,
He sold the fourth-rank Dragon Blood Flame Grass to the "Deity Shop."
As for the effects of this fourth-rank Dragon Blood Flame Grass?
He didn't care.
After all, among his current Believers, only two were first-rank martial artists in the Body Refining Realm. The rest were ordinary mortals.
They had no use for a fourth-rank treasure like the Dragon Blood Flame Grass.
Once the sale was complete—
Li Yue immediately felt three hundred and sixty divine power added to his body.
Those three hundred and sixty divine power made him feel incredibly powerful.
He even felt the urge to test the Golden Blade Art again.
"Easy, easy."
"Wasting divine power just to test a Divine Technique is shameful."
He suppressed the itch to try it.
Then—
He gathered a hundred divine power and began to ascend to a higher Divine Seat!
Outside the Land God Temple.
The villagers who had been kneeling gradually rose to their feet.
They had long since grown used to the two Grand Sacrifices held each year.
It was a tradition.
Though Lord Zhangyue had never once shown his divine presence, no one thought that worshiping him was a waste of time.
After all—
Worshiping a Deity was simply a way to put one's mind at ease.
That was what many of the villagers present believed.
But five elderly villagers were especially devout toward Lord Zhangyue, and they presided over the Grand Sacrifice every year.
"Hm?"
"Where did that Body Strengthening Grass go?"
Li Youming, who was over fifty and stooped with age, was about to clear the offering table. He especially wanted to make sure the most precious item, the Body Strengthening Grass, was safely put away.
But when he looked over,
There was no sign of the Body Strengthening Grass on the offering table.
He was immediately dumbfounded.
Where was the grass?
Where had that huge stalk gone?
The other elderly villagers heard him and immediately looked over. When they saw that the Body Strengthening Grass was gone, they all grew extremely anxious.
After all—
It was a first-rank spirit herb worth ninety taels of silver!
The most valuable thing in the village!
They searched high and low, but the Body Strengthening Grass was nowhere to be found.
"Before the third bow just now, I still saw the Body Strengthening Grass on the offering table."
"How did it disappear all of a sudden?"
The village chief, Li Deyang, frowned.
The other villagers scattered too, searching all around the Land God Temple.
"Could some bird have snatched it while we were bowing to Lord Zhangyue?"
One villager suggested.
"Impossible."
"This is the Land God Temple. No bird has ever dared to snatch food from the Lord of the Land's offering table."
Li Deyang shook his head.
"Then..."
A little girl, around seven or eight years old, spoke timidly:
"Could Lord Zhangyue have enjoyed it...?"
As soon as she said this,
Village chief Li Deyang froze.
The villagers froze too.
Lord Zhangyue had enjoyed it?!
In an instant, every pair of eyes turned toward the statue of the Land God inside the Land God Temple.
Boom—!
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded across the sky!
