Dissolution! Change! Reassembly!
Disintegration! Change! Reorganization!
At the core of Qiu Yan's Divine Body, the Core Talisman were rapidly disintegrating, and the strokes that made up the runes flew up and quickly shuttled between the Divine Power Stars, like silk threads dancing in the wind.
The nine hundred Divine Power Stars that had been shaken have now settled down. Within those stars, Incense Faith have emerged, containing ideas and ideas, and people have begun to visualize and meditate!
Fire! Mud! Smoke!
The three scenes were visualized by thousands of Incense Faith, arranged and combined in a mysterious order, and gradually merged into each stroke of the brush!
The strokes shifted and changed direction, rushing towards the core of the Divine Body, intertwining and coalescing, one by one, weaving and recombinating, quickly forming a brand new talisman!
But this talisman looks completely different from the previous ones; from a distance, its outline resembles a burning stove!
A wisp of azure light leaped out from the talisman, illuminating the entire Divine Body, and nine hundred and ninety-nine Divine Power Stars began to revolve around the reorganized Core Talisman.
A glimmer of green light slowly emerged from the depths of the Core Talisman.
"This separation from the Divine Office has allowed me to break free from constraints, manifest my insights gained over the past two years, reorganize the talismans, and truly break through the limitations of the Literary Judge position, advancing to the Sixth Grade through my own power! Moreover, I've even touched the threshold of the Fifth Grade!"
In Qiu Yan's heart, a series of insights were echoing, all of which were his understanding and knowledge of the position of the Kitchen God. These insights were constantly visualized through Incense Faith and were integrated into the Core Talisman.
Before this, although Qiu Yan had ascended to the Sixth Grade, he always felt there was a barrier between him and the Divine Rank, making it difficult to truly control his Divine Ability. Everything he did was interfered with and monitored by the City God Divine Office. But now, a series of insights have emerged in his mind, which has deepened his understanding of the Divine Path. Even his connection with the few believers he had made has become clearer. His mind is like a clear mirror, reflecting the Stove Fire in the hearths of the entire city!
"Seventh Grade deities can manipulate divine power, while Sixth Grade deities control the nature of divine power and can interfere with the Karma of Fortune within the realm of Domain of Law! As for Fifth Grade deities, they can attach their own divine power to other objects, tainting and transforming external things!"
Snap!
The square seal held in the right hand of the deity changed; the back of the seal transformed into a stove with fire inside and smoke billowing from the stove. Wisps of incense Votive Thoughts gathered and merged into the seal.
"This Law Seals gathers incense Votive Thoughts, and governs the Principle and Domain of Law. Previously, due to my insufficient rank, I couldn't fully understand its function. Now that I've been liberated from the Subordinate Deity Court, I'm gradually beginning to understand the seal's purpose! Hmm?"
As Qiu Yan was still pondering, he suddenly felt a strong sense of Incense Thoughts swirling around his Divine Body!
"This is..."
He sensed it slightly and immediately noticed Yin Xiao'e standing in front of him, and noticed the Incense Burner in her hand. The Incense Thoughts was coming from the Incense Burner!
"What a pure and sincere Votive Thoughts! In that case, I shall accept it!"
With a quick thought, Qiu Yan roughly understood Yin Xiao'e's idea, and without any hesitation, he absorbed the incense that was flowing into his Divine Body into the Core Talisman.
The talisman spun rapidly, and the green light at its center quickly expanded!
"Divine power transforms, originating from the outside!"
Two years of accumulation and comprehension were like being ignited by these pure incense sticks, burning brightly and transforming into emerald flames that enveloped the Core Talisman. Subsequently, the lines of the talisman underwent a slight change.
At the same time, the stars also changed their luster, from white to cyan, and finally to emerald green!
Unite!
The stars spun into a vortex, and with the gathering and absorption of incense from outside, several more stars took shape, but instead of joining the Stellar Vortex, they collided and merged in the center, slowly revealing a pool of emerald green water!
Divine Pool!
As the pool formed, the Black Hole below rose up and merged into the pool; while above, the Core Talisman gathered its flames and released beams of emerald light, illuminating the surroundings.
Then, his Divine Body trembled, and his mind soared, giving him a sense of sublimation. Qiu Yan knew that he had stepped onto a higher level of Divine Rank.
Fifth Grade deity!
The Kitchen God and the Minyuan Mountain God!
"Divine Rank Domain of Law each have their limits. Once the limit is reached, further advancement is impossible. This is why gods appointed by the Heavenly Court, no matter how hard they try, cannot escape the constraints and control they face. However, I condensed the Kitchen God Talisman and ascended to the Fifth Grade, but I haven't reached the limit yet. In the future, if I collect enough incense offerings or comprehend a deeper level of the Divine Path, I can continue to advance! I wonder what the Jiannan Circuit City God would think if he knew that I had already ascended to the Fifth Grade, since he said I had no hope of advancement."
For some inexplicable reason, Qiu Yan felt a sense of unease, knowing that he would soon be involved with that Circuit City God.
"That Circuit City God is in charge of Jiannan Circuit, so we'll inevitably run into each other again. His heartless words and arbitrary dismissal today show that he doesn't respect me because he considers today's events trivial. But to me, it's a matter of utmost importance, a karmic Karma! It's an enmity! I'll take revenge sooner or later!"
The main body slowly opened its eyes. The first thing it saw was that cold metal mask. Then it turned its gaze and took in the horrified Bai Wenpan and the weasel curled up on the table.
"Huang Jue was on good terms with me, yet he suffered this misfortune because of me. There's also Bai Wenpan and Gong Min, the East City Land God. Although we've had some disagreements in the past two years, they were just disputes of pride. Now they've been implicated. One has fallen in rank, and the other has lost his True Spirit. I can't pretend these things didn't happen."
The Circuit City God here this time because of the death of Tang Yi two years ago, which was caused by Qiu Yan. The cause has reaped the consequences, affecting others as well.
"The Circuit City God, the Upper Spirit Sect, and that Celestial Master Luo..." He chewed on a few names, as if trying to engrave them in his heart and never forget them.
At this moment, Yin Xiao'e covered the Incense Burner with a lid, placed it on the table, glanced at the three people in the room, and slowly said in her unique, melodious voice, "Now that Min Yuan has ascended to the Fifth Grade, it's time to have a talk."
As she spoke, she turned to face the original body and said, "Do you still remember what I mentioned when you joined the Divine Office?"
Looking at the City God before him, sensing the calm aura emanating from him, and recalling the scene of Yin Xiao'e crushing the Divine Rank talisman, the true form narrowed his eyes, finally nodding and saying, "You said back then that you needed my assistance in a certain matter."
Yin Xiao'e nodded. "That's right. After today's events, you should be very clear about the situation faced by those appointed Subordinate Deity the Heavenly Court. They are subject to the life and death power of the Orthodox God, and can be dismissed at will. The matter I asked you to help is related to this. I just don't know if you are still willing to lend a hand?"
Compared to the past, Yin Xiao'e's wording has changed slightly. This is because although Qiu Yan has just been promoted to the Fifth Grade, he is a genuine Fifth Grade deity, equivalent to the Metropolitan City God, and the two are now on equal footing.
This was precisely why Bai Wenpan horrified.
"He actually reached the Fifth Grade rank through his own efforts!"
Bai Wenpan's expression shifted between light and dark.
"The Fifth Grade is a watershed moment. Once you step into it, you can break through some restrictions and interfere with the mortal world! But Min Yuan only reached the Sixth Grade two years ago. Even if he is Heaven-Born Deity, his progress is too fast! Putting aside everything else, just the divine power required for advancement alone would take at least several decades or even hundreds of years to accumulate for someone at the Wenpan rank. Ah, it must have been the Metropolitan City God's help just now..."
He naturally had no idea that Qiu Yan, by using his clone, had collected the People's Wishes of Qingchang County and possessed abundant divine power.
Leaving aside Bai Wenpan's surprise, after listening to Yin Xiao'e's words, the main body pondered for a moment, roughly grasped the other party's purpose, and then said, "Although you have taken my Divine Rank, this was originally appointed by you. If it weren't for the protection of the Divine Office these past two years, I would not have been able to safely analyze the Incense Divine Power, and only today could I have ascended to the position on my own. Moreover, you helped me condense the Fifth Grade with the People's Wishes in the Incense Burner. I will not forget this kindness. But now that things have come to this, let's make things clear."
Yin Xiao'e nodded. "Okay!" She didn't hesitate at all and was about to explain in detail, but Qiu Yan's expression suddenly changed slightly. He raised his hand and waved it, saying, "Wait, I'll ask you in detail after I return!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, transforming into a ball of fire, and he flew away and disappeared!
Upon Bai Wenpan was once again shocked!
"This is the core Domain of Law of the Metropolitan City God, and everything here is under Metropolitan City God control. How could Min Yuan leave so easily? And why is he in such a hurry?"
