A disturbance occurred in the heavens and earth.
The Clear Spring Darkness Element Law has become a god.
With an oval face, a single ponytail, and medium height, dressed in a gray coat, black vest, and skinny jeans, paired with a short skirt, Clear Spring's human form exudes youthful beauty.
"This outfit—" Jason, as Clear Spring's contractor, looked at the other party's attire and felt something was off.
"It's just that you changed the color of the dress you designed for Vini!" Clear Spring said with a smile.
"Uh--" Jason had tried to promote the customs and trends of his previous life in his early years, some successfully and some unsuccessfully.
For example, in terms of clothing, only a few styles have been adopted by a small number of people in the Yulan Continent.
The Clear Spring outfit was one of Jason's most unsuccessful designs, and only Veronica wore it for a period of time.
With Veronica giving Jason a sharp rap on the head, the group successfully changed the subject.
"How long have I been in meditation?" Clear Spring asked.
Linda stretched, feeling restless being stuck here without being able to cultivate. "Eleven years... it's almost time for the Necropolis of the Gods to open."
"So fast! I wasn't prepared at all." Clear Spring frowned.
Jason vaguely felt that the other person looked a lot like Bebe when she wrinkled her nose.
Shaking off these distracting thoughts, Jason took out several Divine Artifact: "Let's pick a suitable Divine Artifact first. This time, we'll test the waters in the Necropolis of the Gods; there'll be plenty of time later."
Jason has no intention of letting this avatar leave the Yulan Plane anytime soon; it seems that Clear Spring should also have time to cultivate in seclusion for several thousand years before leaving.
Deity-level beings have a very weak sense of time. Their cultivation speed, like Linley's in the original work, which seems to be a matter of life and death, is probably rare even in the entire Coiling Dragon World.
Clear Spring didn't stand on ceremony and chose a Midgod Artifact short sword, a Lowgod Artifact dagger, and a Highgod Artifact robe.
Although the two offensive Divine Artifact are not high-level, the materials are good and they are very suitable for Clear Spring's fighting style.
The Clear Spring Darkness Element Law is a breakthrough to Lowgod by mastering the profound Profound Mysteries of "Curse".
"Let's go see how much Linley and the others have grown over the years."
The landscape of the Yulan Continent has changed dramatically.
Five years ago, Jason used Soul Transmission to instruct the Four Directions Knight Order to lead the Chaotic Territory and eradicate the faith of the two major clergy within it.
The area is now named "Four Directions Knight Territory," divided into four duchies: "Dragonblood," "Tigerstripe," "Violetflame," and "Undying," managed by members below the Saint-level from the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans.
As for the Saint-level of the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans, they all joined the Four Directions Knight Order and were directly under Jason's command, though they were also subject to his restrictions.
The Luo'ao Empire has been annexed by the Rhine Empire, Blazing Sun Desert has also been made a subordinate region under the jurisdiction of the Rhine Empire.
After that great battle, neither the "Demon Lord" nor the "God of Yellow Sand" took any further action, nor did they respond to the faith, seemingly realizing that they could no longer cause trouble under Beirut's surveillance.
The Demon sorcerers of the Saint-level of the Luo'ao Empire were pragmatic and surrendered directly under the siege of Dylan and his forces, expressing their willingness to destroy all cultivation methods and leave the Yulan Continent in exchange for their lives. As for the secular part of the Luo'ao Empire, they were powerless against the undead sea of the Rhine Empire —there was no need to avoid Necromancy when dealing with the followers of Demon.
As for the interior of the Blazing Sun Desert, it was originally a loose tribal alliance, with only a handful of Saint-level directly under the God of Yellow Sand. They also readily left the Yulan Plane when faced with Dylan.
Jason's faith was thus formally established.
Jason had previously only preached within the Rhine Clan, and it wasn't mandatory.
Over the past decade, Jason's faith has surged, especially within the Rhine Empire. The Rhine Empire had previously prohibited the two major papal churches from proselytizing, and its residents generally worshipped some "non-existent gods" or secretly worshipped War God and High Priest. Now that a powerful god has appeared directly within the country, it is easy for them to become Jason's followers.
Jason could sense the Power of Faith within his soul sea.
The Power of Faith can enhance the soul strength of deities, accelerate the deduction of laws, and to a certain extent protect the soul from soul attacks.
Currently, every two thousand years, this Power of Faith can increase the soul's strength by the equivalent of one Soul Gold Bead;
The speed of law deduction has not improved much, less than one-twentieth of the speed of the main body. It should be noted that the main body only has the strength of the Saint-level, and its speed of law deduction is far inferior to that of the Divine Clone.
As for protecting the soul, the Power of Faith is like a thin membrane attached to the soul, at most able to block one soul attack from Lowgod, and that's only if the Lowgod is not good at soul attacks.
"Lord Jason."
Before him stood Wharton, now an adult. Unlike when he was a child, Wharton no longer addressed Jason as "Uncle Jason," but instead knelt on one knee like a knight before a loyal follower.
"Get up, don't be shy, just call me uncle."
"Your subject dares not." Wharton is currently at level nine in human form and holds the title of Duke of the "Dragonblood Duchy".
As for Linley Lei, he serves as the "Secretary-General of the Knights Order" as the strongest member of the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans, with ten subordinates under him, responsible for the discipline of the Knights Order.
Both are married with children. Linley's wife is Delia, just like in the original story, while Wharton unexpectedly ends up with Jenny. Without the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope of the original, Jenny doesn't develop feelings for Linley, and due to her favorable destiny talent, she has a high chance of becoming Saint-level.
As for the current commander of the Knights, he is the former acting commander, Felix Bolei of the Bolei Clan. The position of commander does not require great strength, but rather the ability to balance the interests of the various members and resolve conflicts. Linley or Wharton.
Neither Veronica nor Monica joined the Four Directions Knight Order, and they both now share the surname "Rhein," with no intention of changing it.
Within a single day, the core members of the Four Directions Knight Order Dragonblood Castle.
Quite by chance, the giant magic crystal mine and the small Divine Plane were both located within the territory of the Dragonblood Duchy, and the Baruch Clan built Dragonblood Castle here after discovering this secret realm.
The Baruch Clan only opened the Dragonblood Castle area to the other three families for cultivation. As for the Divine Plane, only Jason and members of the Baruch Clan could enter, which made the other three families very envious.
Jason didn't care about this. That Divine Plane only enhanced the speed of comprehending the laws, and its effect on bottlenecks was weak. In fact, cultivating in an area with extremely high elemental concentration like Bloodshadow Valley, the speed of comprehension was not much lower.
For those cultivating laws above the Saint-level, comprehension is paramount; differences in deduction speed can be bridged over time.
Jason recently found some basic information about magic arrays in his two avatars in the Netherworld. Once he collects some materials in the Necropolis of the Gods, he will create a few energy-gathering magic arrays for the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans, which should allow him to build several treasure lands similar to Bloodshadow Valley.
At the dinner, the hall was filled with guests, and Jason was seated at the head of the table.
The Four Directions Knight Order was officially established five years ago, after the Chaotic Territory was unified.
"From now on, everyone will be in the Saint-level. You must be careful to restrain yourselves and not make a big fuss over trivial worldly matters. Cultivation is the main theme of life in the Saint-level."
Jason heard that recently, many members of the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans had caused trouble, and there were even internal conflicts. It was Linley who suppressed them with his absolute strength. Among the Four Ultimate Warriors, only Linley had a relatively high achievement in the laws. Of course, this does not include Monica and Veronica.
Jason exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business.
"With the opening of the Necropolis of the Gods imminent, Lord Beirut should grant me some slots. Let's take this opportunity to select a group of people. We'll tentatively allocate three slots to each of your four families."
Jason couldn't remember how many slots each of the War God and his group had in the original story, but it seemed to be more than twenty. The Four Ultimate Warrior Clans would each send twelve people, and Jason planned to give the remaining slots to the Rhine Clan and Bebe and his group.
Once the room quieted down again, Jason continued, "Your four families are now strong enough to protect yourselves, so there are some things I will no longer hide from you."
Jason took out two books. "These two books explaining the laws were seized by my ancestors in battle. I now give them to you, hoping you will devote yourselves to cultivation and not waste your exceptional talents."
Discussing arose during the banquet—having dealt with the Rhine Clan for years, they had long known of the existence of such books, but had always been strictly guarded against and unable to obtain them.
Jason ignored their excitement and handed the two books to Linley: "Linley, make copies of these two books and distribute them to them."
"Jason, Lord Jason!" Linley couldn't hide his excitement as he carefully took the book.
The banquet continued until midnight before people gradually dispersed.
