"Nine more Principal Ninth Rank divine arts."

"However, casting a Principal Ninth Rank divine art requires at least fifty units of Divine Power."

"I have just been promoted and my Divine Power is meager; even converting all the incense wishes accumulated over these days is only enough to cast one Principal Ninth Rank divine art."

Li Yue shook his head.

However, now that he had reached the Principal Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God position, even if he did not cast any divine arts—

Within his "jurisdiction," his strength was no weaker than a Tier 4 limit 'Yin-Yang Realm' grandmaster.

That is to say, he was no weaker than he had been at the Subordinate Ninth Rank.

And if he consumed 'ten units of Divine Power' to cast a Subordinate Ninth Rank divine art, his strength could reach that of a Tier 5 lower-level 'Grotto-Heaven Realm' great grandmaster.

By consuming 'fifty units of Divine Power' to cast a Principal Ninth Rank divine art—

His strength could even reach the Tier 5 limit of a 'Grotto-Heaven Realm' great grandmaster!

"Promoting from Subordinate Ninth Rank to Principal Ninth Rank."

"In terms of strength in this world, it is a direct promotion of a major realm."

A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

This is the nature of a deity who wields the laws of the divine path.

The magnitude of his increase in strength far exceeds the imagination of the martial artists and demons of this world!

The wolf demon of Thousand Wolf Mountain has cultivated for over a hundred years, yet its cultivation is only at the Tier 2 limit.

How long has it been since he became a deity?

Counting it all up, it has only been four months.

In four months, he went from a Tier 2 limit unranked wild god to a 'Principal Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God' comparable to a Tier 5 limit!

Whoosh—

He took another step, instantly crossing a twelve-mile area to arrive at another location.

This was a valley between two mountain peaks, filled with all kinds of blooming flowers, the fragrance of which was intoxicating.

Bees were busily collecting nectar from the flowers, then delivering it to a beehive nearby that stood seven or eight zhang tall.

"Since you see This Seat, why do you not bow?"

Li Yue's expression was indifferent as he stood in mid-air, looking down at the massive beehive.

The exterior of the beehive was already showing signs of a crystalline luster; clearly, after a long period, it had begun to crystallize!

Buzz—

A Bee Queen as thick as a water bucket emerged from the hive, rolled onto the ground, and transformed into a woman dressed in yellow robes, kneeling on the ground with a pale and uneasy face:

"Bee Queen, pays respects to the Venerable God!"

The aura on her body was significantly stronger than that of the Thousand Wolf Mountain wolf demon, having already reached the Tier 3 middle-level!

But feeling the vast, sea-like, and heaven-terrifying divine might radiating from Li Yue, her body still trembled in uncontrollable fear.

She knew—

The Venerable God above could crush her with the extension of a single finger.

"You are free of sin and have not consumed humans to cultivate."

"Are you willing to submit to This Seat?"

Li Yue looked down at the Bee Queen indifferently, feeling quite pleased in his heart.

This Bee Queen was at the Tier 3 middle-level, and there were twelve Tier 2 drone bees and over a hundred Tier 1 worker bees in the hive.

Of course—

These did not catch his eye.

They were merely minor demons.

What truly pleased him was that the spirit honey brewed by this Bee Queen had actually reached the Tier 2 level!

With over a century of accumulation, this beehive now contained a massive amount of Tier 2 Spirit Honey.

For him, this was quite a decent source of income.

Whether sold to the Deity Shop or to other Blue Star deities, it could fetch a significant amount of divine power.

Furthermore—

As long as the Bee Queen lived, this Tier 2 Spirit Honey would be an inexhaustible resource.

"This little demon is willing to submit to you, Venerable God!"

The Bee Queen was overjoyed and hurriedly prostrated herself in a respectful, full-body kowtow.

She had been anxious and fearful just moments ago, unsure of how this Venerable God would dispose of her.

She had even feared that the Venerable God might crush her to death with a single finger.

Yet, unexpectedly—

The Venerable God was actually willing to accept her as a subordinate!

This was a legendary deity!

From now on, she would be the subordinate of a deity!

Her heart surged with excitement and agitation.

With the protection of the Venerable God, could she finally stop cowering in this deep valley and let her children forage for nectar in more distant lands?

Whoosh—

Li Yue reached out and directly took ninety percent of the spirit honey from the hive.

"The spirit honey is not bad. Continue to work hard at brewing it."

"If This Seat is satisfied—"

"I may confer upon you the status of a subordinate deity, granting you immortality and ten thousand years of life."

His voice was indifferent, calm, and majestic.

The lifespan of a deity was far beyond that of humans or demons.

Even the lowest Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox God possessed a lifespan of ten thousand years.

And upon reaching the Principal Ninth Rank, that lifespan doubled, reaching a terrifying twenty thousand years.

Of course—

He did not care much about things like lifespan.

Not to mention that this world was filled with demons, monsters, and perils.

Even the other Blue Star deities were a massive source of danger; if one remained at the Principal Ninth Rank, it would be impossible to live out those twenty thousand years to a natural death.

But a ten-thousand-year lifespan—

To any human or demon, this was an unimaginably huge temptation!

"Become a deity?"

"Enjoy ten thousand years of time?"

The Bee Queen's breathing grew rapid, her eyes turning slightly red as she said excitedly:

"Rest assured, Venerable God, this subordinate will definitely brew honey with all my might!"

She had already secretly made up her mind.

She would bring out her best skills and brew a batch of Tier 3 Spirit Honey to offer to the Venerable God!

If she could become a deity—

Her body trembled slightly; it was simply unimaginable!

Li Yue nodded.

He took a single step and returned to his Divine Domain.

During this expansion of his "jurisdiction," he had only discovered the spiritual energy of Thousand Wolf Mountain and this colony of spirit bees.

There was nothing unusual in the other areas.

Although there were some spirits showing signs of transforming into demons, he did not pay them any mind.

Spirits showing signs of transformation were only at the Tier 1 level.

They were perfect to leave behind as training for the villagers of Four Seas Village.

Only by letting them know that demons still ran rampant outside Four Seas Village would the villagers' faith become even more devout!

"This Horse Demon..."

Li Yue's gaze fell upon the Horse Demon, who was still kneeling outside the Land God Temple.

Ten days had passed since he had slain the Bear Demon and the Dog Demon.

He had spent these ten days promoting from Subordinate Ninth Rank to Principal Ninth Rank.

Of course—

During the promotion, he was not entirely powerless.

He could still exert the strength of a Subordinate Ninth Rank.

"Interesting."

"After kneeling before the Land God Temple for ten days, this Horse Demon has actually become a Grade B Believer."

"But what can this Horse Demon do?"

Li Yue pondered.

The Bee Queen could brew honey for him, which equated to a constant stream of divine power.

What could the Horse Demon do?

Ride her?
