Li Yue opened his Personal Quest and claimed the rewards for [Personal Quest—Four].
Suddenly—
Forty strands of Divine Power appeared out of thin air within his body.
Before him, five First-Order Blessing Talismans and one Second-Order Blessing Talisman also materialized from nothing.
"Nine hundred and twenty-five strands of Divine Power now."
"Almost one thousand..."
"This month, I sold a total of seventy-six Yin Soldier Artifacts."
"However, in the past week, other Blue Star Deities have ascended to Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land Gods and have started competing with me for business."
"Prices have plummeted; now, a single Yin Soldier Artifact sells for only twelve strands of Divine Power."
"I'm only making a meager profit of two strands of Divine Power for my hard work."
Li Yue smiled.
He did not mind.
After all—
He had already earned a massive amount of Divine Power relying on those Yin Soldier Artifacts.
As for those Blue Star Deities who had just ascended to the Subordinate Ninth Rank this past week, once the price war began, their profit margins would shrink drastically, and they wouldn't be able to earn much Divine Power at all.
Not to mention—
He would soon be ascending to the Principal Ninth Rank.
By then—
His divine arts would be even more powerful, and perhaps he would be able to craft Third-Order Yin Soldier Artifacts.
And if he could craft Third-Order Yin Soldier Artifacts, he would hold a monopoly once again!
"On the other hand, the price of First-Order Blessing Talismans has started to rise."
"They now cost at least five strands of Divine Power each."
"In another month, as more people ascend to the Subordinate Ninth Rank and open the God War interface, realizing the importance of believers, the price will likely climb even higher."
Li Yue's expression remained calm.
He had originally purchased forty First-Order Blessing Talismans in one go.
Over this past month, he had bought another twenty First-Order Blessing Talismans; ten of those were bought at three strands of Divine Power each, and the other ten at four strands each.
His gaze fell upon the large crowd of believers outside the Land God Temple.
He beckoned gently.
Suddenly—
That Spirit Field Divine Talisman flew into his hand.
The next moment, the Spirit Field Divine Talisman flew out of his Divine Domain!
Outside the Land God Temple.
A large number of believers knelt on the ground, kowtowing and praying to Lord Zhangyue.
Suddenly, a brilliant golden divine talisman flew out from the Land God statue, erupting with astonishing divine light, while a wave of Divine Might spread out, suppressing the heavens and the earth!
The divine talisman hung in the air.
It then began to expand, growing to the size of an acre in the blink of an eye.
With the acre-sized, golden-glowing talisman hovering above their heads, all the believers gaped in utter shock.
When had they ever witnessed such a miraculous sight?
Even the Temple Keeper, Li Youming, had a flicker of shock in his eyes.
He had not expected Lord Zhangyue to manifest such a grand miracle this time!
"Lord Zhangyue has manifested!"
"A miracle! A miracle from Lord Zhangyue!"
"Lord Zhangyue, please bless my son with a lifetime of health, free from illness and disaster!"
"Lord Zhangyue, please bless my family so we may be well-fed and clothed, and never suffer from hunger or cold again!"
"Lord Zhangyue..."
All the villagers were in a frenzy, kowtowing incessantly.
Lord Zhangyue had shown a miracle; Lord Zhangyue must be watching them right now!
As for the new villagers who were seeing a miracle for the first time, they appeared even more agitated.
Lord Zhangyue truly existed!
So, the Temple Keeper and the other villagers had not been lying to them; Four Seas Village was truly under the protection of a Deity!
From this day forward.
They, too, would be under the protection of a Deity and would no longer have to be reduced to fodder for Demonic Creatures!
Many people wept with joy, prostrating themselves in total devotion, appearing extremely pious.
Having once lived in the Land of Demons, where every day they risked becoming food for monsters, they understood better than anyone how precious it was to live under the protection of a Deity, free from fear.
They cherished it.
They were grateful for the protection of Lord Zhangyue!
Mid-air.
A divine talisman, expanding to the size of an acre, flew up and landed in the blink of an eye on a patch of open ground not far from the Land God Temple.
The open ground suddenly shimmered with golden light, as if the great power of heaven and earth were reshaping the soil!
A moment later, the golden light dissipated.
Spiritual energy surged within this acre of land, manifesting as wisps of white mist that drifted upward, as if it had become a fairyland.
The white mist did not disperse, drifting ethereally.
"This is—"
Li Youming's pupils constricted tightly, his eyes filled with wild joy and excitement:
"A Spirit Field?!"
"Spiritual energy manifesting as mist, this is a Spirit Field!"
"Lord Zhangyue has bestowed upon us a Spirit Field!!"
Behind him, the village chief Li Deyang, deputy village chief Chen Mazi, Liao Jinxian, and the others were struck with shock, their faces filled with immense excitement and fervor.
A Spirit Field!
This was the kind of treasure that even in the county seat, where there was only one and a half acres, was treated as the lifeblood of the strongest family!
Now, they in Four Seas Village had a Spirit Field too!
With the protection of Lord Zhangyue.
And now, a Spirit Field.
They felt that life had so much to look forward to.
As long as they worked hard to find Spirit Rice seeds and plant them, Four Seas Village would have a continuous supply of Spirit Rice.
The number of future Martial Artists in the village—
Would absolutely explode!
"Thank you for your grace, Lord Zhangyue!"
"All villagers of Four Seas Village, pay homage to Lord Zhangyue!"
Li Youming took a deep breath, held the lit incense high in his hands, and shouted.
"Pay homage to Lord Zhangyue!"
All the villagers raised their incense together and shouted, their voices soaring to the heavens!
A dense tide of Incense Wish Power rolled toward the Land God Temple.
At the very back of the crowd.
Two men with dull expressions exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and disbelief in the other's eyes.
A miracle!
A Spirit Field!
The Orthodox Land God in this Four Seas Village actually existed!
"Big brother! We must report this to the family head as soon as possible."
"A true Deity!"
"An acre of Spirit Field!"
"And I don't think that acre looks like a 'Grade D Spirit Field'; it might be a higher-level 'Grade C Spirit Field'!"
The younger of the two men whispered, his voice trembling.
"Quiet!"
"A Deity is watching us here!"
The older man's expression shifted, and he immediately hissed a reprimand.
But his own face flickered with uncertainty, shock, excitement, and awe...
A myriad of emotions played across his features.
The two brothers had originally only ventured into the Land of Demons to gather herbs, only to be captured by human traffickers and locked in a sheep pen.
They had already despaired, not knowing when they would be eaten by demonic creatures.
After all, what kind of place was the 'Land of Demons'?
Humans who entered the sheep pen were two-legged sheep, and were food for demonic creatures.
But they hadn't expected—
They actually encountered a human expert slaying demons!
And he brought them back here, giving them houses and food.
If it had just been that.
But then—
There was actually a true Deity here!
What should they do?
Should they report the situation here to their family head?
And the two did not notice.
The temperature around them was lower than elsewhere.
Liao Xiu'er, dressed as a ghost messenger, was kneeling beside the two, looking at them with a cold expression.
It was just that humans and ghosts walk different paths.
She could see the two, but they could not see her.
Beside Liao Xiu'er was Liao Chengping, and behind the two, three more ghost messengers had appeared.
They were all elderly people from the village who had died naturally of old age, and were elderly people whose faith had reached the 'Grade B Believer' level.
After being enfeoffed as Candidate Ghost Messengers, their souls had returned to around the age of thirty.
