Accept My Edict to Become a Yin Soldier, or Reincarnate

"Presumptuous!"

Chen Ergou was furious, pointing a finger at Zhao Jiuyuan:

"Very well, you."

"I brought you here with good intentions to pay respects to Lord Zhangyue, and this is the scheme you were hatching!"

"What qualifications do you have to seek an audience with Lord Zhangyue!"

Li Youming waved his hand, signaling Chen Ergou to stop, and looked at Zhao Jiuyuan indifferently:

"Whether you get to see Lord Zhangyue is not for me to decide."

"But I must tell you, even I, as the Temple Keeper of the Lord Zhangyue Temple, do not yet have the qualifications to seek an audience with Lord Zhangyue."

"If you truly wish to seek an audience—"

"Then kneel here and offer your prayers with sincerity."

"As for whether you can see Lord Zhangyue, it all depends on the will of Lord Zhangyue."

After saying this, he ignored Zhao Jiuyuan and returned to his room.

He was not in the slightest bit worried that Zhao Jiuyuan would act recklessly or cause trouble.

After all—

Under the divine might of Lord Zhangyue, no one dared to harbor malicious intent!

As the Temple Keeper of Lord Zhangyue, he had already noticed that the divine might within the Land God Temple was becoming increasingly profound.

"Hmph!"

Chen Ergou let out a cold snort and led his men back to the village entrance to continue their watch.

Zhao Jiuyuan took a deep breath, bought a stick of incense from a villager, lit it, and knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully:

"Zhao Jiuyuan of the Xuan County Zhao Clan, humbly requests an audience with Lord Zhangyue!"

Within the "Divine Domain."

Li Yue's expression was indifferent; he paid no mind to Zhao Jiuyuan kneeling before the Land God Temple.

Regardless of the other party's motives.

He had no desire to concern himself with them for the time being.

After all—

His "jurisdiction" had not even covered Cangmu Town yet; how could he concern himself with the affairs of the county seat?

Unless those Tier 4 demons from the county seat ran into his "jurisdiction" to throw their lives away.

But was that even possible?

With that kind of time, he would be better off refining more Tier 2 "Yin Soldier Artifacts" to sell on the "Regional Trading" interface.

Over the past half month—

He had refined a total of three hundred and sixty Tier 2 "Yin Soldier Artifacts."

This was no longer just a 996 work schedule; it was half a month of sleepless, relentless toil.

However, as a Principal Ninth Rank deity, half a month without sleep was nothing.

"In half a month, I've earned one thousand eight hundred units of divine power."

"Sales are excellent; basically, as many as I refine, I can sell."

"But this past half month has truly been a period of explosive growth for Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land Gods. I estimate that more than one-tenth of the one hundred thousand deities in this region have become Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land Gods."

"These Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land Gods are all customers."

"After all, spending the same amount of divine power without having to refine the items themselves—what could be better than that?"

His face was full of smiles.

Choosing to use fifty units of "Divine Law Fragment" to reduce the cost of the Subordinate Ninth Rank Divine Art "Yin Soldier Artifact" had been the right decision.

Fifty units of "Divine Law Fragment" were only worth five hundred units of divine power.

Now, in just half a month, he had earned one thousand eight hundred units of divine power!

What was a little hard work compared to that?

With so many deities from Blue Star, absolutely no one would complain about the toil.

At this moment—

The divine power within his body had reached an astonishing three thousand and thirty units!

The demon corpses that Li Youming had slain and sent back one after another had brought him over three hundred units of divine power.

Over the past half month, the Incense Wish Power provided by the believers had also allowed him to condense over one hundred and twenty units of divine power.

Furthermore, the fifty catties of Tier 2 "Black-Striped Bee Spirit Honey" he had listed were all sold; subtracting the five catties sold previously, the remaining forty-five catties had also brought in one hundred and eighty units of divine power.

"One month remains until the second Great Sacrifice of the year."

He muttered to himself.

He had been looking forward to this second Great Sacrifice for a long time.

After all, the hundredfold increase in offerings would be enough to fill him up in one go!

Whoosh—

With a thought, he opened his "Personal Quest."

[Personal Quest—Seven]

[Quest Description]: Your reputation for slaying demons and eliminating monsters for the human race has spread, but this will also attract the attention of more powerful demons. Strive to grow stronger; the might of the Divine Path must be forged in the blood of demons.

[Quest Objective]: Reach a number of believers exceeding five thousand.

[Quest Reward]: One 'Spirit Field Divine Talisman', one 'Mountain Leveling Divine Talisman', one 'Spirit Temple Divine Talisman', and eighty units of divine power.

"Spirit Temple Divine Talisman..."

Li Yue's expression remained calm.

He already knew the wonderful uses of the Spirit Field Divine Talisman and the Mountain Leveling Divine Talisman.

In fact, he still had one 'Mountain Leveling Divine Talisman' in his possession that he had yet to use.

As for the 'Spirit Temple Divine Talisman'—

It was a divine talisman capable of transforming his Land God Temple into a Spirit Temple!

As of now.

His Land God Temple still appeared simple and plain, no different from how it had been five months ago.

Li Youming had once requested permission to renovate the temple for him.

However, he had refused.

After all—

He felt that no matter how magnificent a temple rebuilt by mortals might be, it would still only be a mundane structure.

Once he stepped into the rank of a Subordinate Eighth Rank deity, he intended to use his divine power to manifest a true divine temple!

Although this would consume a significant amount of divine power.

He felt it would be worth the cost, as it was, after all, his own facade.

However—

Now, simply completing [Personal Quest—Seven] would grant him a 'Spirit Temple Divine Talisman', allowing him to directly convert his simple Land God Temple into a Spirit Temple!

A divine talisman's handiwork would naturally be the best!

It would also save him a considerable expenditure of divine power.

Therefore, he was quite eager to obtain this 'Spirit Temple Divine Talisman'.

A dignified Principal Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God naturally needed a facade that matched his status.

"But it won't be long now..."

"People are moving into Four Seas Village every day; in a few more days, the number of believers will exceed five thousand..."

His eyes shimmered.

He was also quite curious.

Would the Spirit Temple built by the 'Spirit Temple Divine Talisman' have any special functions?

After all, the spirit fields opened by the 'Spirit Field Divine Talisman' had proven to be quite useful.

Subsequently—

He turned his gaze toward the "Underworld Dharma Domain."

At this moment, this "Underworld Dharma Domain" already appeared quite cramped.

During this period.

The souls of the villagers who died in Four Seas Village had all been brought back to the "Underworld Dharma Domain" by the Ghost Messengers.

As for the souls of the Grade B Believers who had passed away, Li Yue had conferred upon them the status of Ghost Messengers.

There were now a total of twelve Ghost Messengers.

Meanwhile, the souls of the Grade C and Grade D Believers who had died were currently residing within the "Underworld Dharma Domain."

The "Underworld Dharma Domain" was filled with intense yin energy, which ensured that the ghosts would not dissipate.

"Your faith in Me lacked true devotion."

"Now that you have passed, I offer you two paths to choose from."

"First, accept My decree to become a Yin Soldier. From this moment on, all memories will be erased, but should you have the fortune to be promoted to a Grade A Yin Soldier, you may recover a portion of your memories."

"Second, I shall send you all to the Underworld to undergo reincarnation."

Li Yue looked down at the thirty-five ghosts within the Underworld Dharma Domain and spoke indifferently.

His voice instantly echoed throughout the Underworld Dharma Domain, brimming with divine might.

Inside the Underworld Dharma Domain.

The thirty-five ghosts looked up in astonishment, yet how could they possibly see Li Yue within the Divine Domain above?

At this moment, three Ghost Messengers were responsible for guarding these ghosts within the Underworld Dharma Domain; upon hearing these words, they all immediately knelt on the ground in piety.

Those who could become Ghost Messengers and retain their memories were all Grade B Believers.

Even in death, they remained devout.
