God of Frost and Snow
He changed his approach, activating the Authority over Frost and Snow, and Yin Yunze gently blew out a breath.
The breath, infused with the Power of Frost and Snow, transformed into a misty white frost as soon as it was exhaled. Then, as the white frost and snow continued to gather, it finally formed a block of ice the size of a washbasin in front of Yin Yunze.
As Yin Yunze stopped blowing, one of the ice blocks that had appeared out of thin air disappeared and fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.
Like a boy who has received his beloved toy, Yin Yunze continued to try.
Yin Yunze first clasped his hands together, then activated the Authority over Frost and Snow, and slowly moved his hands away from each other. With this movement, a crystal-clear sword made of ice appeared in Yin Yunze 'Yin Yunze hand.
With a casual swing, it produced a whooshing sound as it pierced the air. But as Yin Yunze released his grip, the ice sword vanished into a blanket of frost and snow.
This time, Yin Yunze did not make a big show of it, but instead secretly summoned the wind and snow to gather at his feet.
As the power of the wind and snow gathered and lifted beneath his feet, Yin Yunze felt his entire body being lifted off the ground by the invisible wind and snow.
Moreover, throughout the entire lifting process, Yin Yunze did not feel any strain whatsoever. He only felt that if he exerted a little more effort, he could truly use the power of the wind and Yin Yunze to fly into the sky and roam freely.
As the wind and snow dissipated and fell back to the ground, Yin Yunze had only one thought at that moment.
This was a huge profit!
Yin Yunze never expected that his impulsive act of transferring snowflakes from the real world to this world as an embellishment for a temple-building ceremony would actually grant him the divine office of the God of Frost and Snow.
In other words, Yin Yunze is now not only the Land God of the Clear Creek Basin, but also the Divine Office God of God of Frost and Snow!
Unlike deities such as the Land God or the Sun God, who have a single, highly targeted goal.
Frost and snow, being more of a functional concept, can exist as multiple deities.
The most famous example of this plural divine office is the Dragon King.
In Journey to the West, basically wherever there is water, there is a Dragon King. And even a well can have a Dragon King living there.
This can be considered the most prominent example of a pluralistic Divine Office God.
However, there are some differences between the God of Frost and Snow and the Dragon King. The God of Frost and Snow is more similar to Drought Demon, a deity who wields such authority.
Take, for example, the corpse of Prince Jing in Tomb of Prince Jing, which is almost Drought Demon and has already seized the power of drought. If it had its own consciousness, it might very well become a drought god after gathering a sufficient number of believers.
Although, I wonder who would believe this lousy thing.
The characteristic of this type of Divine Office God is that if you possess this kind of authority, you can attempt to possess this kind of divine office.
Of course, conversely, if you possess this kind of divine office, you will naturally also possess this kind of authority.
However, the former's authority is superior to that of the clergy, and the absence of a clergy does not affect the use of authority. The latter's authority comes from the clergy, and once the clergy is lost, the corresponding authority is lost as well.
Unfortunately, Yin Yunze's authority over frost and snow was derived from the latter, from his clergy.
Unlike the Land God, who gains the recognition of local believers and thus connects with the Earth Vein Power, automatically generating a divine status, the divine Divine Office God like the God of Frost and Snow require the Incense of Faith of believers to solidify and maintain them.
The Divine Office God is what people generally understand as Incense God whose power increases with the number of believers.
In fact, the Divine Office God is also the target of most evil spirits' efforts.
However, evil spirits are often crude in their daily lives and more often act according to their desires. Even if their initial intentions are good, they often end up turning themselves into evil gods due to various outrageous or short-sighted actions.
Let alone attaining proper divine authority, simply escaping being killed by poisonous incense and resentment is already considered lucky.
In fact, Yin Yunze had considered assigning himself a divine position before. Judging from the two props, the jade bottle and the precious tree branch, one can guess that Yin Yunze was considering a position related to the god of agriculture.
After all, compared to achieving other outrageous things.
We continuously bring in fertilizers, pesticides, and high-quality grain seeds from the real world, and then move water and adjust the fertility.
The position of deity of agriculture is arguably the one that Yin Yunze can most easily achieve and maintain right now.
However, the unexpected appearance of the God of Frost and Snow's divine position today has given Yin Yunze a better alternative.
After all, although the Agricultural God holds a high position in any mythological system, the problem is that there are very few of them with high combat power!
In comparison, the additional ice and snow abilities of the Authority over Frost and Snow can greatly enhance combat capabilities.
Putting everything else aside, the ability to fly by harnessing the power of wind and snow is an absolute advantage that the early-stage free-range chickens like the God of Agriculture can't match.
Even now, Yin Yunze still doesn't know which deity the "Azure Heavens Jade Maiden" everyone is talking about is.
However, it is clear that Yin Yunze's ability to condense this fox tail with the Authority over Frost and Snow is probably inseparable from the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden.
Without much effort, Yin Yunze could guess that this Azure Heavens Jade Maiden was probably a goddess who held the Authority over Frost and Snow.
In fact, after determining the date for establishing the temple, Yin Yunze also spent some time thinking of a title for himself.
After all, they're already the dominant force in the Qingxin River Basin, and it's not good for them to be called "fox spirit" all the time.
The term "fox spirit" is, to put it nicely, one of the Five Great Immortal Families. To put it bluntly, isn't it just an unofficial, wild deity without any proper status?
It's like being called "Iron Egg" when you're a kid; can you still be called "Iron Egg" when you grow up?
Although the name Green Hill Yi Yun can be used as a divine name, it was not permitted in ancient times to address someone by their full name directly, and it was considered disrespectful.
The proper divine title is equivalent to the ancient people's courtesy name.
Compared to titles like "Madam," "Holy Mother," and "Old Mother," which seem inappropriate at first glance, as well as the overused "Empress" and the somewhat unsuitable "Fairy," Yin Yunze actually wanted to use the title "Yuanjun."
However, after checking, Yin Yunze found that the title of Yuanjun seemed a bit too high. If he were to actually call himself Yuanjun, it seemed a bit presumptuous, and who knew if some passing expert might take a dislike to him and strike him down with lightning.
Not being Monkey Sun, Yin Yunze, to avoid trouble, readily switched to the name of a fairy maiden and prepared to call herself the Immortal Maiden of the Mundane World.
The title "Immortal Maiden of the Mundane World, which sounds approachable. Later, as the story develops, it could be changed to "Primordial Sovereign of the Mundane World).
Of course, this assumption is outdated now.
Yin Yunze now needs to consider whether he should risk offending the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden for the sake of this Authority over Frost and Snow.
After all, if Yin Yunze wants to seize control of this ice and snow power, he will most likely have to accept the misjudgment of the crowd for the time being.
If he were to vehemently deny it and confess that he had no connection with the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, the newly formed Authority over Frost and Snow would likely dissipate immediately.
However, if they continue down this path, Yin Yunze will undoubtedly incur a karmic debt with Azure Heavens Jade Maiden.
If Yin Yunze condensed it on his own, that would be fine, since the Authority over Frost and Snow is not unique anyway.
But Yin Yunze's current behavior, to put it nicely, is to ride on the coattails of Azure Heavens Jade Maiden's popularity to elevate his own status.
To put it more seriously, Yin Yunze could be said to have stolen a sliver of Azure Heavens Jade Maiden's power.
If the transformation isn't done in time and the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden comes knocking, then things will get complicated.
If that Azure Heavens Jade Maiden were ruthless, Yin Yunze might have ended up wearing a fox fur coat!
Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Yin Yunze also felt a little hesitant.
This hesitation lingered in Yin Yunze's mind for a full second before he finally made up his mind.
What a joke! The meat that's already in my mouth—no, already in my stomach! How can I spit it out? Besides, after being a liar for so long, this is just another lie!
Holding tightly to that icy tail, Yin Yunze thought to himself.
Please, putting aside the fact that ice-type abilities are incredibly cool, the accompanying flight ability alone is something that ordinary divine authority can't compare to.
Besides, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. To abandon the Authority over Frost and Snow, which has already successfully condensed its divine office and is only a few steps away from condensing the Frost and Snow Divinity, and instead go to the other extreme to try and obtain other divine authority—wouldn't that be insane?
And what if the victim doesn't find out?
Thinking this way, Yin Yunze felt much better.
Releasing the icy tail, Yin Yunze glanced at the other eight tails, which were considerably dimmer, and suddenly an idea struck her. Could she condense eight other divine authority onto these remaining eight tails?
After truly sensing the Ice and Snow Tail, Yin Yunze felt that although the other eight tails also had physical forms, they were not so real.
It was as if the other eight tails were still in a phantom state, while the icy tail was the only real tail.
In response, Yin Yunze speculated that this was probably the reason she fabricated the story that she was Nine-Tailed Fox.
