The Law Follows the People's Hearts, a Mouth Swallows Rivers and Mountains

The Core Talisman of the deity mainly records two Divine Rank: one is the position of the Kitchen God, and the other is the position of the Mountain God of Mingyuan Mountain.

The role of the Kitchen God is central here, forming the main body of the Divine Script, and the derived Law Script also primarily focus on the Kitchen God.

The Law Script on the edges of the talisman mainly depict Stove Fire, cooking smoke, stove, the control over the Withering and Flourishing of Mingyuan Mountain, and the communication between the Yin and Yin-Yang of Mingyuan Mountain.

The first three items all originated from the position of the Kitchen God. Compared with the past, there have been significant changes, but the concept is more comprehensive. The three Divine Office work together and have a significant impact on restaurants, kitchens, and teahouses, which is an important driving force for the spread of sacrificial rites.

However, at the same time, several Divine Office gradually appeared in the distorted and changed Law Script, including the content of "Household Protection and Safeguarding People's Health the people," which was also associated with the Divine Rank the Kitchen God.

These two new Law Script represent two New Law titles. The direct reason for their creation is that many people who were worshipping at that moment believed that the Kitchen God possessed such abilities.

What the people desire, Creation from Nothing!

The gods grant the People's Wishes!

"Effort always pays off. No wonder Dong Grand Preceptor said that gods are merely the figments of the people's imagination. Now it seems he was right. As long as the people believe you can do it, you can do it! The realm of Divine Ability Domain of Law follows the will of the people! However, the Divine Office is newly established and not yet stable. If believers forget or change their minds, it will inevitably disappear in the end. We still need to carefully manage it and strengthen the concept in the future."

The changes in talismans present both opportunities and challenges.

The increase in Divine Office led to a rapid increase in the area occupied by the Kitchen God Divine Script in the Core Talisman, crowding out the Divine Script of the Minyuan Mountain God.

At the same time, the drastic changes in the talismans revealed Original Edition imperceptible details.

Between the Kitchen God Divine Script and the Minyuan Mountain God script, a strange Divine Script unexpectedly appeared.

"Huh?" Qiu Yan let out a soft exclamation, his thoughts sweeping across the text. He thoroughly comprehended the contents of this Divine Script. It contained the meaning of Fire Seed, but not a spark of flame. Rather, it symbolized the Humanistic Fire Seed of civilization's progress. It was a cultural symbol of a tribe or a people!

After a moment's thought, Qiu Yan understood the origin of this Divine Script.

"This was formed by the hopes and aspirations of the Lianxi Tribe. Due to the great distance and small number of people, it is not easily noticed and is usually obscured by the position of the Kitchen God. Furthermore, because it is so small, it has not yet developed into a specific Divine Office, so no corresponding Law Script have appeared on the edges of the talisman. However..."

A thought flashed through Qiu Yan's mind, and realizing the profound significance of this Humanistic Fire Seed, he moved the Soul Split script, causing it to gradually shift until it finally stopped at the center of the talisman!

Click! Click! Click!

Because of the movement of the Divine Script, the divine power, Incense Faith within the talisman collided, causing the entire talisman to become slightly distorted and showing signs of collapsing.

However, this distortion and collision allowed Qiu Yan's consciousness to delve deeper into the talismans and explore their microscopic mysteries.

"This is a great opportunity for me to observe the changes in the talismans up close. I may not have such a good opportunity again in the future."

With this thought in mind, Qiu Yan's consciousness deepened, and gradually, he discovered the secret of divine power transformation.

Those streams of popular Votive Thoughts converged and were drawn in, flowing first along the strokes of the talisman from the outside in. They intersected and coalesced, becoming imbued with the Divine Name mark, before turning outwards, flowing through the edge of the Law Script, and merging with the aura of the Domain of Law, thus transforming from thoughts into pure divine power.

However, this discovery made Qiu Yan realize a hidden danger—

"These thoughts are transmitted through the strokes of the talisman. Although they are compressed and condensed, the distracting thoughts and trivial emotions within them also taint the talisman. Although they are few, over time, after decades or hundreds of years, the remaining distracting thoughts become quite considerable. Moreover, they remain attached to the talisman and may eventually merge with it!"

Talismans are the foundation of a deity. If worldly thoughts and distractions are allowed to merge with talismans, it will pollute the deity's mind. In severe cases, the deity may lose itself and fall into madness. Even in mild cases, changes in temperament are inevitable.

"Prevention is better than cure. We must take precautions beforehand. I don't know how other deities do it, but it's easy for me."

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, a spark suddenly appeared around the Core Talisman. The flame then flickered and expanded, instantly enveloping the entire rune and scorching it.

This is the flame originating from the Kitchen God, which has the effect of purification and refinement. Those people's Votive Thoughts mixed with black-hearted talismans will be burned and refined as soon as they enter the flame's embrace, and will be completely removed without a trace.

"In this way, I need to plan my accumulated divine power. First, I need to maintain a reserve of divine power, which will be used to advance to higher ranks and also to fight enemies in critical moments. This Soul Split power will be the largest."

"Secondly, a small portion of the divine power is used to maintain the purification of the flames, burn the Core Talisman, eliminate hidden dangers, and maintain mental stability. This part of the consumption is not large; for every hundred stars absorbed, only one star needs to be consumed."

"Thirdly, Soul Split should be allocated to respond to the believers' calls. This will deepen their reverence and help spread the worship, creating a virtuous cycle. Approximately one-tenth of the divine power should be allocated to establish a cycle and response mechanism. Only by solidifying the believers' habits and gradually expanding the scope of the worship can a stable source of incense be cultivated, thus ensuring the continuity of divine power."

The divine mind, amplified by the Incense Faith, operates at a speed comparable to Qiu Yan's supercomputer from his previous life, and thus quickly formulates a solution.

Although the plan has been developed, implementing it will not be easy and will have to be done step by step. At present, the main task of the deity is to combine the newly acquired Divine Office with the Divine Rank the Kitchen God, and at the same time put the things that have been planned into action.

Two brand-new Divine Office have been formed.

Household Protection and Safeguarding People's Health.

These two ideas originated from the people's thoughts about the Kitchen God's actions, which in turn endowed the deity with supernatural Divine Ability, and the integration with the Divine Rank went very smoothly.

With the Divine Office secured, the changes in the Core Talisman gradually leveled off before long.

At this moment, the deity moved his hand, and three orbs of light appeared in his hand: two emerald green and one dark blue.

At the core of the ball of light were three talismans, which were the three divine talismans obtained from the Tongshan Demon King.

"I really don't know where this Tongshan Old Monster got these three talismans. Logically speaking, all divine talismans are controlled by the Heavenly Court and recorded in the register. Even when Subordinate Deity are granted titles, it's mostly a projection of a talisman, while the talisman itself is controlled by the Orthodox God..."

Filled with questions, Qiu Yan had learned this information from Yin Xiao'e, Bai Wenpan, and others. But of course, he wouldn't get any answers now.

As the ball of light appeared, its radiance scattered, and three distinct divine powers spread out, each occupying a region.

Among them, the dark blue one was the most powerful, emanating a viscous aura, resembling an abyss.

Looking at the dark blue ball of light, the deity frowned, pondered for a moment, then swept his hand away, taking the ball of light back.

"This swamp Divine Office is too unfamiliar, and it's located within the Five Marshes Realm. The talisman itself has flaws, not to mention the Five Marshes Ancestor who hasn't been dealt with yet. My divine power hasn't accumulated to the threshold of the Fifth Grade yet. If I rashly absorb it, there might be hidden dangers."

Having put away the swamp talisman, the deity's gaze naturally fell upon the other two orbs of light.

These two beams of light, one exuding a vast and boundless aura, and the other revealing a surging and boundless spirit.

"Nine Spirits Mountain and the Great Snow River..."

The deity himself silently counted the days.

"There are only a few days left until the end of the month. To conceal my Heaven-Born Deity and self-created Divine Office in the Underworld, I need at least two divine talismans of the same rank for cover. These two talismans are Fifth Grade, and in terms of terrain and location, they are the best choice. Since that's the case, there's no need to hesitate. However, my foundation is not in the Earth Deity, and I cannot allow myself to be controlled by the Heavenly Court again because of two Divine Rank. Therefore, I need to make some arrangements and not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."

With this thought in mind, the deity opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing the two orbs of light!

Swallow.

The light moved within the Divine Body, gradually sinking down, and soon settled in the center of the Divine Body, flying towards the Core Talisman one after the other.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the divine Divine Body of the deity trembled violently, and the Core Talisman, which had just begun to calm down, twisted violently again due to the arrival of the two orbs of light!

In the radiance, two talismans flew straight over and merged into the Core Talisman, representing the two Divine Script of Nine Spirits Mountain and Great Snow River, one on the left and one on the right, combining with the position of the Kitchen God, while the mass of Minyuan Mountain God runes was instantly swallowed up by the Nine Spirits Mountain God runes.

For a time, the core of the talisman, several runes, fought each other for dominance.

Suddenly, two more sections of Law Script appeared at the edge of the talisman.

Some of these positions are represented by three different Divine Office: those who govern the Withering and Flourishing of Nine Spirits Mountain, those who command the living beings of Nine Spirits Mountain, and those who communicate between the Yin and Yin-Yang of Nine Spirits Mountain.

The other part reveals three Divine Office: controlling clouds and rain in the Great Snow River basin, leading the Great Snow River, and guiding drowned souls.

Instantly, the Divine Script surged, and the Law Script changed.

Regardless of the changes, under Qiu Yan's intervention, the position of the Kitchen God and the Humanistic Fire Seed remained unmoved, occupying the central position of the talisman, while Nine Spirits Mountain and the Great Snow River were positioned to the left and right, gradually stabilizing.

The faint Kitchen God's Flame shrouded the position of the Kitchen God and the Humanistic Fire Seed, subtly separating it from the other two types of Divine Rank.

Just as the talisman changed, the deity himself landed on the Stove Mountain and sat there silently.

The entire Stove Mountain stands in the center of Nine Spirits Mountain, becoming the highest peak of this mountain range.

Meanwhile, Water-Crossing General, who had been forced to leave his cave abode, led the demons, both large and small, on a long and arduous journey. After a period of running, he finally recovered and turned around to look at Stove Mountain, gritting his teeth in hatred.

"Where did this wild god come from, daring to seize my cave cave abode!"

With Water-Crossing General suddenly had an idea.

"I've got it! This wild god arrived suddenly, but his actions have crossed the line. I might as well use one tiger to devour another and sit back and watch the two fight!"

Upon realizing this, he suddenly laughed, then flipped over and jumped into the rushing river.

"General, what are you doing?" the lesser demons asked, puzzled. Just then, a head emerged from the water—a toad's head—and croaked, "Croak~, you little ones, come with me! We're going to the Water Palace to lodge a complaint!"
