The Divine Statue in the Heart, the Domain of Law Unfolds

Flames erupted, engulfing the thirteen people!

The other twelve people, except for Shao Jing, were initially startled, but then felt a warm sensation envelop their bodies and calmed down. In contrast, Shao Jing remained calm, letting the flames engulf his body without even twitching his brow.

The flames spread, Qiu Yan's will descended upon them, invading the bodies and minds of Shao Jing and the others through the flames and the Domain of Law.

For the past ten days or so, Shao Jing and the other thirteen people knelt before the statue of the god, chanting the Divine Name and visualizing the statue. In their hearts, they vaguely saw a bright and blurry figure.

Now, Qiu Yan's Divine Sense and Domain of Law extended in, immediately connecting with this figure and linking the two together!

Instantly, the hearts of the thirteen people opened up, and memories from birth to the present flowed in, allowing Qiu Yan to instantly understand their thoughts, ideas, and memories, to know their past, and to understand what motivated them to kneel here.

It can be said that none of these thirteen people knelt here simply because of their longing for or reverence for the Heavenly Gods. They all had personal reasons, whether for their tribe, their partners or children, or for themselves.

Qiu Yan could understand this.

"The tribespeople of the Lianxi Tribe are different from the people of Great Rui. They live in the Land of the Divine Remains, fighting against nature and all things, waging war against other tribes, and even facing the possibility of being enslaved by the 'Heavenly Gods' at any moment. Their lives are precarious, their living environment is harsh, and resources are scarce. Under such circumstances, the continuation of their race is the top priority. When they pray to the gods, other factors will naturally be involved, and it is difficult to find believers who are wholeheartedly devoted to the gods..."

The thought flashed through Qiu Yan's mind. He had already read through the memories of the thirteen people and noticed that among them, the one with the firmest resolve and the most unwavering faith in God was none other than Shao Jing, the leader.

Although this chieftain of the Lianxi Tribe was praying to the gods for the sake of the tribe, he firmly believed that the Heavenly Gods were omnipotent, and therefore he was sincere.

"These thirteen people each have their own purposes, all seeking to gain extraordinary power, which is not a bad thing. If their goals are achieved and maintained in the future, they will continue to worship me. Therefore, according to the plan, we will construct a system of 'Seeking Gods, Gaining Power' in this Land of the Divine Remains as the beginning of our Divine Path experiment."

As he pondered, Qiu Yan's consciousness shifted, plunging into the hearts of the thirteen people.

Instantly, a grand vision descended upon their minds, conveying a few words that were deafening, cleansing their Human Thoughts, and probing their very souls. It was immense, leaving the thirteen people shaken and horrified.

However, beneath all the grandiose exterior, what Qiu Yan conveyed was nothing more than inquiry and guidance.

Those who have persevered to this point will not be swayed by a few words; they have resisted the overwhelming thoughts in their hearts and become even more determined.

Subsequently, the Domain of Law fluctuated, and a portion of the incense and People's Wishes of the Lianxi Tribe separated, condensing into several points of divine power, which were then invested into the hearts of the thirteen people.

This divine power landed in the hearts of the thirteen people, and combined with the figure residing in their hearts, the outline of that figure became clearer and clearer, and it even emitted Domain of Law fluctuations!

It was as if, in their hearts, an idol was being erected!

The statue sits in the center, Domain Derivation!

Even Qiu Yan was surprised by this.

"Oh? It's much better than I expected! That's right, when I first envisioned it, I was only just touching the threshold of the Fourth Grade, but now I've already entered the Fourth Grade, so it's naturally much smoother to execute it."

The process of making the divine image clear in one's mind is not always smooth sailing. After all, it involves allowing divine thoughts and power to invade the heart, and any resistance will create obstacles.

Human hearts are unpredictable. Among the thirteen people, there will always be some who have doubts, which makes the fusion of divine power not go smoothly, thus causing a collision at the level of consciousness and erupting in pain. However, after kneeling and praying to the gods for more than ten days, they will not choose to back down. Even those who are in pain are enduring and persevering.

Finally, the image of the god in the hearts of the thirteen became completely clear and lifelike, with a touch of orchid in the center of the image.

This touch of pale blue is the Divine Power Seed.

Back then, after Qiu Yan obtained the furnace fire of the World-Troubling Copper Furnace, he condensed it and transformed it into a bit of Fourth Grade divine power. After that, as Third Grade person, he could wield a Fourth Grade and exert some of the power of a fourth-grade person. Now that his main body has advanced to the Fourth Grade and his Divine Power Stars has transformed, the bit of divine power that has been separated also has the power of Fourth Grade.

"Now that the task is accomplished, it's time to retire. But we must leave a trace of Spiritual Light in their hearts so that they can gradually unleash the power of the divine image within them. This Land of the Divine Remains is lacking in Spiritual Qi, and it's difficult to retain thoughts here. If they want to use Divine Ability, they will have to find another way... Hmm?"

Qiu Yan was about to withdraw his Divine Sense, since it was transmitted from a distance and crossed a certain barrier, which greatly consumed his Divine Sense and made it difficult to sense accurately at any time. However, as he withdrew, he was surprised to find that thirteen fragments of the soul returned with his Divine Sense!

These thirteen fragments returned to their bodies with a thought, entered the Divine Power Space, and fell into the projection of the cloud-covered earth!

The earth is shrouded in mist, subtly changing.

A thought struck him, and Qiu Yan focused his attention on it, examining it carefully.

On the other side, in the Lianxi Tribe, flames erupted from the statue, shooting into the sky. They first engulfed the thirteen figures kneeling before the statue, then subsided before being released again.

After this back and forth, the thirteen people changed significantly. Several of them showed pain on their faces and screamed, but there were no signs of burns on their bodies.

What's going on?

This unexpected turn of events attracted the attention of those around him. Huo Zhu was startled and stepped forward, followed quickly by the others.

Just then, the clan elder was helped over. After listening to the description from the others and looking at the appearance of the people in front of the statue, the old man made a decisive decision and called for people to go up and pull the thirteen people back.

"Huo Zhu, since you're here too, come and lend a hand."

At the elder's command, the Huo Zhu and several others stepped forward to pull up the person on the far side of the thirteen.

However, because the divine power in his heart had merged with the outline of the god, this person was in excruciating pain. He endured it by force, but when someone pulled him like this, he instinctively struggled. The excruciating pain stimulated his potential, and his strength surged, throwing the two people who were supporting him away!

"Hmm? You dare to hurt my people!" Huo Zhu raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, grabbed the man, and twisted his wrist. With a "crack," he bent the man's arm!

Although the man's potential was unleashed by the intense pain, his strength was still no match for Huo Zhu's, and he screamed in agony.

"Stop! It was an unintentional mistake. Why resort to such a vicious attack?"

At this moment, a faint voice came from the side, weak and lacking in strength.

"Oh?"

Huo Zhu stopped what he was doing, glanced at Shao Jing, but didn't reply.

The one who spoke was Shao Jing.

"How can we let this go so easily?"

At the same time, the two people who had been thrown back returned angrily and sneered at Shao Jing, "Clan leader, you can't handle this. The flames of the divine statue engulfed you and caused you pain. It must be that the Heavenly Gods are angry and want to punish you. Whether you can continue to be the clan leader is another matter. You'd better not meddle in other people's business."

Although these two were usually dissatisfied with Shao Jing, they didn't dare to be so blatant. But Shao Jing was currently weak and unable to maintain his position as clan leader. The recent eruption of flames had caused several of the thirteen to appear pained, making people suspicious that it was Heavenly Gods punishment that emboldened the two to act so arrogantly. After saying that, they made a move to attack the others!

"I said stop!" Shao Jing's anger flared, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a surge of intent welled up from the bottom of his heart. He involuntarily visualized the figure of Heavenly Gods being, and his body trembled instantly. Visible ripples spread out, connecting with the soil beneath his feet and the Earthfire.

The next moment, the ground shook, the soil beneath the two men collapsed, and half of their bodies sank into it!

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, the two burly men stuck in the mud panicked, even the Huo Zhu changed drastically, the clan elder looked astonished, and the many clansmen surrounding them were stunned.

Soon, all eyes were on Shao Jing, and thoughts were swirling in the crowd.

Shao Jing felt a warmth in his heart, and after a moment of contemplation, he turned back to look at the statue, his face filled with excitement, and knelt down once more.

Many gazes shifted to the cracked and flaming statue, their eyes burning with fervor, even the Huo Zhu was no exception.

"Planting a god in one's heart is like moving a divine statue. It allows one to wield the Domain of Law and manipulate surrounding objects. The site of the Land of the Divine Remains is filled with soil and flowing Earthfire, perfectly suited to the position of the Kitchen God. After analyzing the Crimson Divine Sense, it's like adding wings to a tiger, enabling even greater utilization of fire power. As for other wonders, there's no rush to reveal them. We need to carefully arrange their ranks to solidify the sacrificial culture and further refine the system so that divine power can be fed back after the believer's death. Besides, this unexpected gain also needs to be carefully studied..."

Qiu Yan was thinking, but his attention was focused on the Divine Power Space.

Beside the Incense Divine Pool, a new area appeared on the misty "land," resembling the former residence of the Lianxi Tribe.

At first glance, this projection appears the same as those elsewhere, but upon closer inspection, one can see thirteen silver dots.

"Silver..."

As he pondered, Qiu Yan had an idea, then shook his head.

"Haste makes waste. The most urgent task now is to proceed according to plan and first conduct some reconnaissance..."

The deity itself flicked its finger, and the remaining Crimson Divine Sense drifted away, emitting fluctuations that pulsed like a heartbeat. Then, Qiu Yan's own Divine Sense merged into it.

The two Divine Sense clashed and devoured each other, causing the fluctuation range to expand rapidly.

Qiu Yan has now advanced to the Fourth Grade, and in terms of the quality of his Divine Sense, it is a notch higher than that of the Crimson Divine Sense. After several clashes, he suppressed it.

Knock knock knock!

Soon, the combined Divine Sense emitted sounds that traveled far and wide.

The deity himself closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and remained motionless, concentrating on sensing the divine presence.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes!

"I didn't expect it to be so close to me; I thought it would take quite a while to find it..."

After saying this, he stood up, his body transformed into a ray of light, and flew out of the building, heading north, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
