A Single Thought Made All the Difference

If the opponent is of the same level, Yin Yunze has the advantage of being on the ground.

Just like how Grandfather Huang Three beat Yin Yunze before, in Clear Creek Village, Yin Yunze can easily beat opponents of the same level.

Even if the opponent is Land God of the same level, if they are not in your territory, the Land God will lose 90% of their strength.

Even those Incense God who possess more mystical divine positions, although not bound by the Earth Vein Power and able to preserve their strength more intact, still cannot fully exert their power for an extended period without the support of their believers.

It can only be said that the Earth Vein Power of these Divine Office God has "transformed from the land into the believers themselves."

Once outside their own territory, without the support of their followers, they can at best maintain the strength to fight.

In a direct comparison, it is definitely not as good as the Land God who is blessed with the Earth Vein Power.

Among low-ranking Incense God like Yin Yunze, the ironclad rule that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake is truly undeniable.

Those experts who were far stronger than Yin Yunze wouldn't even bother with a nobody like Yin Yunze. A Land God from Slope Mountain Village wasn't as worthy of their attention as a spiritual herb.

However, if Yin Yunze were to one day become powerful enough to attract the covetous eyes of those powerful figures, they would have to consider the price they would have to pay to condense the same divine essence again after killing Yin Yunze.

In comparison, befriending others and then exchanging resources for resources is a better option.

It can only be said that Yin Yunze's current situation is that the younger ones can't beat him, and the older ones look down on him.

As long as Yin Yunze has no ambition and doesn't offend anyone, no one will take away Yin Yunze right to wallow in the mire.

On the contrary, as long as Yin Yunze behaves properly, people will have to be mindful of the Karmic Force brought about by killing a beloved Incense God.

Therefore, Yin Yunze doesn't need to worry about any dangers in this regard at all; on the contrary, he belongs to the type who can live a relatively comfortable life.

Returning to the divine status presented to Yin Yunze, it is actually a special case within the first type of transfer.

Of course, this wasn't because Grandfather Huang Three suddenly had a change of heart before his death and wanted to entrust this divine status, along with Upper Creek Village, to Yin Yunze.

On the contrary, if he could, Grandfather Huang Three would definitely drag Yin Yunze down to hell with him.

This deity title of Upper Creek Village was prepared by Grandfather Huang Three for himself.

It might seem strange, but how could Grandfather Huang Three, who was originally the Land God of Upper Creek Village, transfer his Land God Divinity of Upper Creek Village to himself?

Because Grandfather Huang Three was deeply entrenched in his problems and knew he was powerless to change anything, he made a plan to live a second life. This Land God Divinity was what Grandfather Huang Three prepared for his newborn self.

Previously, Yin Yunze thought that Grandfather Huang Three was full of nonsense and that probably only a few of his ten sentences were true.

However, based on the information Yin Yunze has received, he has wronged Grandfather Huang Three Yin Yunze. In fact, ninety percent of what Grandfather Huang Three said was true.

This includes the fact that Grandfather Huang Three's true form was indeed imprisoned within the Grandfather Three Temple. It also includes the fact that Grandfather Huang Three genuinely wanted to use Yin Yunze's power to kill the original Grandfather Three Temple. And it also includes the fact that Grandfather Huang Three truly couldn't hold on much longer.

Although this "not a long time" is measured in years.

However, for an old weasel that is almost two hundred years old, two or three years is really as short as a passing cloud.

Of course, there were also dishonest parts in what Grandfather Huang Three said.

For example, the old man-like Grandfather Huang Three was not the Avatar he claimed to be.

Rather, it was the more complete and rational part that Grandfather Huang Three cut off from the original body using his talent for mental manipulation.

Grandfather Huang Three had a well-thought-out plan. First, he prepared to transfer the Land God Divinity, weakening his own power. Then, he would cut off the unpolluted part of himself and place it in a suitable vessel to live out his second life.

Finally, as long as you obtain the packaged Land God Divinity, you can become the new Land God of Upper Creek Village and then destroy your old body, which has been corrupted by poisonous incense and resentment.

Throughout the entire process, Grandfather Huang Three could operate it all by himself without needing any help from others.

After all, given Grandfather Huang Three— so bad that even passing evil spirits would want to kick him a couple of times—it was unlikely he could find someone else to help him with this plan. So, initially, Grandfather Huang Three was only prepared to rely on himself.

But an unexpected incident occurred in the second step of this plan.

First, regarding the part about cutting off the connection, because the decision was made too late, only about one-fifth of the rational part remained.

In order to preserve more strength, Grandfather Huang Three cut off too much of his rationality, a full 15 percent of it.

As it turns out, trying to contain the remaining 80% with only 5% is wishful thinking.

The remaining rationality was not only completely unable to control the madness, but was instead eroded and devoured, leading to a state of utter madness.

Even though it was the same person, faced with his own madness, Grandfather Huang Three couldn't get the other party to obediently hand over the Land God Divinity.

The difference in strength was several times greater, and the fact that the Land God Divinity was still in the opponent's hands made it impossible for Grandfather Huang Three to use force even if he wanted to.

Furthermore, to prevent his own madness from escalating, Grandfather Huang Three had to arrange for someone to appease him through a blood sacrifice.

On one occasion, because the blood sacrifice was delayed, Mad Grandfather Three rushed out of the Grandfather Three Temple and bit several people to death on the spot.

Later, after they had eaten their fill, Grandfather Huang Three took them back to Grandfather Three Temple.

This is why the people of Upper Creek Village say that Grandfather Huang Three has gone mad.

As the blood sacrifice proceeded, this Mad Grandfather Three recovered from the initial weakened state of preparing to enhance his divine status and sever his spirit.

As his main body gradually recovered, Grandfather Huang Three was truly at a loss.

It was at this moment that Yin Yunze arrived. Seeing Yin Yunze's unfamiliar face immediately gave Grandfather Huang Three new hope.

In fact, Yin Yunze was discovered by Grandfather Huang Three the moment he entered Upper Creek Village.

At first, Grandfather Huang Three really only wanted Yin Yunze to help him get rid of his crazed original form.

At least, it's true that Grandfather Huang Three could suppress his true form, allowing Yin Yunze to take the opportunity to eliminate the crazed entity.

It's not even necessary to actually eliminate them; it's enough to reach a level where Grandfather Huang Three can seize the divine status of the Land God of Upper Creek Village.

Then Grandfather Huang Three can possess the prepared container and become the Land God of Upper Creek Village again, living a second life.

If things only go this far, then it's not too bad for Yin Yunze.

After all, helping a Land God return to normal and forging a friendship is itself a mutually beneficial act.

Grandfather Huang Three was reborn and given a second chance at life. Yin Yunze gained the friendship of the old Land God, and the two villages were able to form an alliance.

However, unsurprisingly, an accident still occurred.

The moment Grandfather Huang Three actually met Yin Yunze, his mindset changed.

Because Grandfather Huang Three discovered that Zhao Wan had an unparalleled affinity with the Incense God.

Even though Grandfather Huang Three had already prepared a new vessel, a highly talented junior.

But compared to Zhao Wan, that junior was simply a piece of trash.

As for the gender issue?

For a nearly two-hundred-year-old weasel, gender is completely unimportant!

Therefore, from the moment he discovered Zhao Wan's extraordinary nature, Grandfather Huang Three's mentality changed due to greed.

As Grandfather Huang Three's mindset changed, the original mutually beneficial cooperation turned into a jungle Principle where the big fish eat the small fish.

What started as a simple plea for help has transformed into a calculated scheme based on desire.

Grandfather Huang Three not only wanted Yin Yunze's help, but also Zhao Wan, who was supposed to be Yin Yunze's vessel. Having already offended both of them, Grandfather Huang Three wasn't even going to let Yin Yunze off the hook.

The Spirit Descent upon Zhao Wan, a pure spiritual Fox Immortal, was, in Grandfather Huang Three's eyes, a perfect tonic for himself.

Anyway, Grandfather Huang Three's usual style of doing things was to offend all the evil spirits in the area, so he wasn't afraid of offending a Fox Immortal or Land God.

If you've got the guts, come and beat me up!

Although Grandfather Huang Three was the most rational part of it, he was still removed from the madness itself and was not as clean as he imagined.

Driven by greed, they became reckless and disregarded all consequences.

However, to achieve this three-birds-with-one-stone plan, Yin Yunze's entry into the Grandfather Three Temple is an essential condition.

Yin Yunze was previously confused, knowing that the golden statues in temples were important, but he didn't understand exactly why. It was only from the information from Grandfather Huang Three that Yin Yunze understood the special nature of temples with golden statues.

Because temples with golden statues, under the control of the Incense God, can form a concept similar to a domain found in many anime and novels.

Of course, in the information left by Grandfather Huang Three, this closed area was called: Dao Field Daoist temple).
