Circuit City God?

Yuanning City.

As the seat of a prefecture, it remained a bustling place with people coming and going.

On a street corner in the south of the city stands an inconspicuous, Lesser God.

The ancestral hall is not large and the interior is simply furnished. There is no incense altar outside the door, but there is a shrine inside, with a clay statue of a god about half a person's height standing on it.

At this moment, Qiu Yan's divine essence was residing within this statue, absorbing the incense offerings on the altar.

Within the Divine Body, radiance shone brightly, with nine hundred and ninety-nine Divine Power Stars layered upon each other, slowly rotating around the Core Talisman, like a shimmering whirlpool in water.

Stellar Vortex.

This is one of the characteristics of Sixth-Rank Deity.

Qiu Yan has been Sixth Grade official for two years now. During these two years, thanks to his scholar clone, a large number of People's Wishes have gathered from his Soul Aperture every day, condensing into stars, making his divine power increasingly abundant and profound.

Two years of effort is almost equivalent to the accumulation of several or even more than ten years by other gods. However, as his divine power gradually increased, he eventually reached a bottleneck. After condensing the 999th star, he could not condense the 1000th star no matter what.

This made Qiu Yan realize that there is a limit to the divine power that Sixth-Rank Deity can accumulate. After some speculation, he also concluded that the limit for Seventh-Rank Deity should be ninety-nine Divine Power Stars.

Qiu Yan had a vague feeling that the bottleneck in his divine power was related to his joining the Divine Office.

However, although it was difficult to create new Divine Power Stars, the gathered People's Wishes were not wasted. Instead, they were used to condense the existing stars, making the divine power more refined, concentrated, and profound.

With their profound divine power, the gods' might and Divine Ability grew stronger, and their influence and interference on the people of the city gradually deepened.

This shrine was built under these circumstances, but the people who contributed the most were Li Bo, Wang Qiao'er, and others.

After being taught a lesson by Qiu Yan, the group still harbored thoughts of revenge, but soon they began to have nightmares every night. The evil deeds they had done and the people they had oppressed repeatedly appeared in their dreams. The difference was that they were no longer the ones who did evil or exerted pressure, but had become the ones who were oppressed. As a result, they suffered every night and could not even get a good night's sleep. Eventually, they were even afraid to close their eyes. Their energy and physical strength were greatly affected, and they became mentally confused and saw enemies everywhere.

But then, by chance, one of the group discovered that being near the stove could calm a restless mind, quell evil thoughts, and allow one to sleep peacefully at night. After that, the others followed suit.

As their State of Mind settled down, their evil thoughts subsided, and Li Bo and the others' personalities actually changed. They stopped doing evil and instead did good. When busybodies inquired, they learned that the group had been influenced by a deity called "Kitchen Lord".

After some back and forth, the worship of the Kitchen God finally began to take shape, and Li, Wang and others also contributed funds to build a shrine and worshipped it devoutly, which allowed Qiu Yan to move out of the murals in the City God Temple and move into a shrine.

Now, the deity himself, who had been living in peace for so long, suddenly felt a tremor in his mind and sensed that his Fortune, which was connected to the City God, was undergoing a dramatic change.

"What's going on? This connection of Fortune has been calm and peaceful since I joined the Divine Office. Why has it become so unstable now?"

As he was thinking, a melodious voice suddenly rang in his mind, echoing repeatedly—

"Com to the Divine Office Hall immediately!"

Qiu Yan recognized the voice; he knew it belonged to the Yuanning Metropolitan City God.

The scholar's City God had already consulted the classics and found out the origin of the name "Yin Xiao'e"—she was actually the beloved daughter of the former dynasty's non-royal prince, Prince Yin.

That Prince Yin was loyal and righteous throughout his life, devoted himself to the cause, and was deeply loved by the people. He once turned the tide and saved the day. Unfortunately, his achievements overshadowed the emperor and were resented by treacherous officials. In the end, he was murdered. However, his noble character will live on forever, and his temple stands in Jiangnan, where incense is burning brightly.

Unexpectedly, the daughter of this Silver Prince actually became the City God of Yuanning Prefecture in Jiannan Circuit.

Thinking to himself, the deity departed from Miao and followed the earth's course. When the true form arrived outside the City God Underworld Office Temple, the first thing he saw were three radiant figures.

Three deities.

However, the energy emanating from the three deities appeared somewhat chaotic.

Deities can unite the thoughts of the people, and their own composition is largely somewhere between energy and spirit. Therefore, in many cases, gods do not need words to communicate with each other; they can perceive each other's state simply through intuition.

The three deities before us are fluctuating wildly, indicating that their divine minds are unsettled.

One of the three deities is Huang Jue, the South City Land God, who has a very good relationship with the main deity.

Upon seeing the arrival of the true form, he Divine Body and appeared before it, his face showing anxiety. "The situation is not good; you'd better be prepared."

"Hmm? What exactly happened? Why is the City God summoning all the gods in such a hurry?" the main body asked.

"Do you remember what happened at the Pan Household two years ago?" Huang Jue didn't speak, but instead transmitted his thoughts.

Qiu Yan nodded; he certainly hadn't forgotten.

Then, Huang Jue continued to transmit his thoughts, "The day the Pan Household was robbed, a disciple of the Upper Spirit Sect was killed, but the culprit has never been found. And on that day, a deity intervened. Now the Upper Spirit Sect will finally come to investigate. I and the East City Land God are responsible for our jurisdiction, and you and Bai Wenpan, as assistant officials of the City God, are responsible for the movement of deities within the city. You will probably also be investigated."

"The Upper Spirit Sect, huh...?"

Chewing on this word, the main body was not surprised. For gods and cultivators, two years was not a long time. Even for mortals, ten years was not too late to take revenge, let alone for cultivators with long lifespans.

At the same time, he also recalled Xi Yun, whom his clone had seen before, and connected the two events, grasping a trace of their intrinsic connection.

After a moment's thought, the true form telepathically asked, "Where did you get this information from?"

Huang Jue did not answer, but turned to look at Bai Wenpan not far away.

The other two of the three deities were Bai Wenpan and the East City Land God. These two deities had solemn expressions, and at the same time, there was a sense of shared hatred for the enemy.

"Min Yuan, this crisis is going to be difficult to handle. I heard..."

Noticing the gaze of the true body, Bai Wenpan sent a thought, but before he could finish speaking, a powerful will descended. The four gods immediately understood, each restrained their thoughts, and with a turn of their Divine Body, they all transformed into azure light and entered the Underworld Office.

The City God Underworld Office Hall is gloomy and solemn.

The City God, clad in armor, still sat regally beneath the plaque and before the screen. On either side of the main hall, rows of chairs were filled with deities.

Once the City God and his entourage revealed themselves, he slightly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes beneath the metal mask, as if he were glancing at the four deities. Then, he raised his hand and struck the gavel.

Snap!

Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent, and even the Votive Thoughts of the people that occasionally leaked from the various deities were restrained by an inexplicable force.

Then, the City God spoke, his melodious voice echoing throughout the entire hall.

"The Circuit City God is about to descend; please wait here patiently."

As she spoke, she looked towards the real person.

"The Circuit City God?"

The true self and the clone, being of one mind and two bodies, naturally knew about the matter simultaneously.

"Wasn't it said that the Upper Spirit Sect was going to investigate? Why has the Circuit City God come instead?"

Having been back in his position for some time, Qiu Yan had developed some understanding of the classification of deities, Circuit City God Divine Name, they were also divided into different ranks.

The area of Great Rui is divided into three levels: Dao, Fu, and Xian. The City God is based in the city, so there are naturally different ones. The City God is usually in the City God, while the City God is in the Metropolitan City God. Above the Metropolitan City God is the Circuit City God, which is located in the Dao or Fu.

"The actions of deities are not as cumbersome as those of mortals. What is called waiting can take years. It's hard to say when the Circuit City God will arrive. Things are becoming increasingly complicated, but it may also be an opportunity..."

As he was thinking this, he passed by the city's notice board and saw that someone was posting a notice that contained things he already knew.

"The Dao Examination is just over a month away. My two years of hard work will all come down to this exam..."
