Worship the God!

Wandering Soul are very common in the Netherworld. They have no affiliation, come from various backgrounds, and recover from a long period of being lost, regaining consciousness.

At that moment, several Wandering Soul, who were roaming around a mountain peak, suddenly felt a sense of alarm and then noticed a shooting star in the sky, falling straight towards them!

This scene was not unfamiliar to them.

"A deity is coming to settle here!"

"A new Fifth Grade deity!"

"I never expected to be chosen here; this is a place where Demon Mark remain."

As the chants were transmitted, the Wandering Soul hurriedly dispersed and swiftly departed, leaving the area within a ten-mile radius of the mountain.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted, echoing through the mountains and valleys and carrying far and wide, causing the ground to tremble.

In an instant, dust billowed up in the valley on the west side of the mountain, and a three-story pavilion rose from the ground.

Foundation, ridge, beams, bricks and tiles... all appeared Creation from Nothing, combined and arranged to form a stable structure.

Around the pavilion, the mountainside shifted, and the uneven ground gradually solidified. One after another, courtyard walls broke through the soil, with green tiles and white walls surrounding the pavilion. Instantly, an atmosphere of scholarly refinement emanated from it, and from a distance, it looked as if an academy Luo Shan.

"First, establish a foothold, then set up Domain of Law."

Reading the insights transmitted by Yin Xiao'e, Qiu Yan understood them and added his own thoughts. His Divine Body then flew out of the pavilion. With a Divine Body, several Divine Power Stars flew out, quickly burning and releasing layers of light screens that expanded to cover the entire pavilion and then extended outwards.

The next moment, a rumbling sound came from the center of the academy, and a stove rose from the ground, nearly three zhang high, with flames rising and smoke billowing from it; behind the academy, a small hill rose up, covered with thin wood.

"With the establishment of the Domain of Law, this foothold in the Netherworld now has some protective power."

Having done all this, the true form descended from the sky and stood in the courtyard, sensing the changes and mysteries around it.

At this moment, Yin Xiao'e also descended from the sky, but instead of entering the academy, she hovered to one side and waited for Qiu Yan to come to his senses before inviting him in.

"Entering a deity's Netherworld Domain without permission is tantamount to declaring war. Remember this." Yin Xiao'e's first words upon entering the courtyard were a warning. She then glanced around and nodded. "Your current location is taking shape. The rest is to connect with the believers and quickly establish a Yin-Yang Road."

As she spoke, she floated up again.

"Originally, a new god was supposed to visit the Underworld upon landing, but for the next few days, you might as well first sense the changes in the Netherworld and the Yin-Yang Road, try to deepen your connection with the believers, and recover your divine power. Once you have explored the supernatural Divine Ability of Fifth Grade god, it will be time to set off for that ruin. My Netherworld Domain is not far from you; if you need anything, feel free to call upon me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took flight, soaring away and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

I withdrew my gaze.

"To connect believers and establish Yin-Yang Road? I wonder, after this Yin-Yang Road is established, will there be only one exit to the Mortal Realm, or multiple exits, or will it be fixed in one place...?"

Qiu Yan considered the possible changes that the Yin-Yang Road might bring. As he thought about it, his Divine Body rose into the air and entered the third floor of the pavilion. He sat cross-legged in the empty room, closed his eyes, and remained silent, immersing himself in the world.

Reflections...

"Currently, there are 397 people who worship me. Most of them worship me casually, 103 people remember me often, 72 people have a sense of awe, only 51 people are quite devout and worship me every day, and 17 people have placed idols in their homes. Well, let's start with these 17 people and try to expand our influence."

As soon as he thought about it, his divine power changed.

In order to establish a foothold in the Netherworld, I have already consumed a lot of divine power. In addition to the divine power I used in the battle against the Rhinoceros Beetle, I barely broke through a thousand Divine Power Stars when I advanced to the Fifth Grade, and then fell back to more than nine hundred.

Bouncing! Bouncing! Bouncing!

Among the more than nine hundred stars, a few suddenly began to move, releasing wisps of divine power that were transmitted through the invisible Incense Faith.

"Old Wang, what god are you worshipping again? You told me about it yesterday, but you've already forgotten."

Early in the morning, Wang Lixi had just finished offering incense to the family deity when he heard his wife, Sun-shi, asking him a question.

Wang Lixi quickly said, "This is the Kitchen Lord, please be respectful and don't offend the deity."

Wang Lixi was a cook at Zhang's Restaurant. The night before last, a riot broke out in Yuanning City, and a huge fire broke out. The incident happened right next to Zhangji Restaurant. Wang Lixi went out to watch the commotion, but he was unexpectedly engulfed by the flames. He thought he was going to die, but he witnessed a scene of divine intervention. After he and the other victims escaped the Sea of Fire, he was so moved that he immediately knelt down and worshipped the gods.

After the government officials came and quelled the incident, Wang Lixi returned home, but he was still unable to calm down. He kept recalling the appearance of the deity and suddenly realized that it was the same as a deity he had seen in a dream before. He immediately understood and invited the statue into his home yesterday, and set up a statue of the Kitchen God in his house.

"I know that," Sun-shi nodded after hearing the advice, then frowned. "By the way, is the money ready? Send it to the manager in the next couple of days. I heard that the chef hired by Joyous Arrival Restaurant is a famous chef from Central Passes, with exceptional skills. That's why he's taken away all of the owner's business, and now the owner is also thinking of hiring a chef from out of town. If you don't hurry up and make arrangements, you'll lose your livelihood!"

"Don't worry about it. Everything's ready. We'll deliver it tonight. But anyway, people like things to be different. It's only because they're used to Central Passes cuisine that Guanzhong cuisine feels fresh. They'll probably go back to eating it soon anyway. Don't worry, it's fine!"

After muttering a few words to reassure his wife and exchanging a few more words with his two sons, Wang Lixi left home and quickly arrived at Zhang's Restaurant.

The tavern's main hall was deserted. At this time of day, it would usually be half full of people having breakfast. On the other hand, the Joyous Arrival Restaurant across the street was bustling with people.

"Lixi, you'd better be careful today. The boss just threw a tantrum in the kitchen and smashed bowls!" Seeing Wang Lixi enter, Manager Zhao, who had been huddled behind the counter, immediately perked up and came over to whisper, "If you have any ideas, use them quickly, don't hold back."

Seeing Manager Zhang's winking and gesturing, Wang Lixi took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to punch him. He knew that Manager Zhao wanted money. Under normal circumstances, as Wang Lixi head chef, how could he tolerate such treatment? But now the situation was beyond his control, so Wang Lixi reluctantly thanked him and hurried to the kitchen.

Lifting the curtain, the kitchen was in complete chaos, with two workers picking up broken dishes.

"Where's the boss?" Wang Lixi grabbed one of them and asked in a low voice.

"He just left, furious, and told you to go see him as soon as you arrived."

These words startled Wang Lixi, filling him with a sense of foreboding.

Just then, a shout came from outside the curtain, announcing that a customer had arrived and ordered a stir-fry dish.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lixi sighed, then put aside his other tasks and began to light the fire and cook.

As Wang Lixi lit the Stove Fire and preheated the iron pot, he gripped the handle and suddenly felt a wave of warmth wash over him, instantly filling his entire body, making his hands and feet feel warm and cozy.

"Hmm?" Wang Lixi was suspicious, but he still added oil and scallions as usual. Oil droplets and thick smoke rose up and slowly spread.

A short while later, several of the odd-job workers suddenly changed their expressions, their noses twitched, and they whispered, "What's that smell? It smells so good! So good!"
