The Ceremony Concludes, the God Takes His Place

Although the Sentient Beings' Power of Faith is miraculous, the wishes of only a few thousand believers are not enough to truly transform the illusion into reality and create a Nine-Tailed Fox.

Although Yin Yunze now appears to be a white fox with nine tails, it is actually just a facade.

Rather than talking about the Nine-Tailed Fox in mythology, it's more accurate to say that Yin Yunze is a genetically mutated fox with nine tails, making him quite extraordinary.

Or to be more specific, Yin Yunze is currently a fake nine-tailed fox with only one icy tail. Perhaps only when the other eight tails are given divine authority will Yin Yunze become a true Nine-Tailed Fox.

If placed within the context of cultivation novels, Yin Yunze would be a pseudo-nine-tailed fox with the potential to become Nine-Tailed Fox, but who has only just cultivated one tail.

However, it's too early to say anything about that now.

The formation of a divine authority is extremely difficult and full of coincidences, and even whether it can be maintained afterward is still a question!

Even if Yin Yunze wanted to collect the remaining eight tails, who knows when that would be?

With a contented mindset, Yin Yunze quickly accepted the reality that he was actually just a pretty face.

Seeing that the temple-building ceremony had been delayed for half a day due to this unexpected incident, Yin Yunze decided not to waste any more time.

He once again activated the Authority over Frost and Snow, stirring up wind and snow. Using the power of the wind and snow surrounding him, Yin Yunze flew into the air.

Although I'm not very skilled at it, if I stay still, it still looks pretty good.

Upon seeing this, the audience cheered even more enthusiastically.

"Continue."

Using the power of the wind and snow, Yin Yunze sent his voice to the ears of the little witches.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's instructions, the little witches quickly got up and proceeded with the final part in an orderly manner.

"Please let the gods return to their temple!"

As they spoke, the shortest girl led the way, carrying the ceremonial implements. The remaining eight girls, two on each side, lifted the wooden platform at the base of the statue.

Accompanied by solemn music, the girl and her entourage carried the statue of Green Hill Yi Yun toward the temple.

Seeing this, Yin Yunze, who was concealing his figure in the air using Illusion Technique, sent a gust of wind and snow to lighten the burden on the girls.

"Have you noticed that Lord Yin Yun's statue seems much lighter than before?"

This change in weight naturally caught the girls' attention.

For safety's sake, Yin Yunze must have tested whether the little witches could handle it before preparing this final scene.

If they couldn't carry it, Yin Yunze would naturally have to arrange for several strong men to lift it.

"Red, shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufei coldly rebuked, "And you all, make sure you cooperate well! If anything goes wrong at this crucial moment, even if the adults spare you, I'll skin you alive!"

These days, thanks to her seriousness and fighting skills, Zhang Yufei has become the top person after Sun Qin Zhao Wan. Yin Yunze also entrusts daily dance training to Zhang Yufei, who has a martial arts background.

In this respect, Zhang Yufei is better than Sun Qin.

Objectively speaking, aside from sometimes being a bit slow-witted, Zhang Yufei is indeed the most outstanding among the group of girls under Yin Yunze.

In daily life, Qi Rongrong can only occasionally outsmart Zhang Yufei.

Of course, every time she realized she'd been tricked, Zhang Yufei would mercilessly teach Qi Rongrong a lesson with force.

After getting a beating, Qi Rongrong would then try to find ways to prank Zhang Yufei.

Of course, both relationships remained superficial. Although they seemed to dislike each other, their relationship was actually the best among the nine girls.

After all, compared to one who was the granddaughter of a village chief and the other who was the junior sister of a constable and a martial arts genius, the remaining seven girls from poor backgrounds ultimately felt somewhat inferior in front of them.

Therefore, although Yin Yunze never made any distinctions, the pattern of Sun Qin being the eldest, Zhao Wan the second eldest, Qi Rongrong wanting to compete with Zhang Yufei for the third eldest, and the other seven girls being the youngest had already been formed.

Since no bullying had occurred and the overall atmosphere was relatively harmonious, Yin Yunze turned a blind eye to this situation.

Forcing those seven girls into positions unsuitable for them wouldn't be a good thing for them either.

At this moment, even Qi Rongrong wouldn't dare to disagree with Zhang Yufei's words out of spite.

After this little incident, nothing else went wrong.

After watching closely as the girls carried the statue into the temple and carefully placed it on the altar, Yin Yunze breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there was a slight mishap, the temple-building ceremony was almost completed.

Just as Yin Yunze was thinking this, the magnificent temple seemed to have been switched on by some unknown switch, and it began to change.

In Yin Yunze's eyes, this temple had quietly become one with the Earth Vein Power in this area.

To ordinary people, the temple may not have changed in any substantial way, but it may have gained an inexplicable solemnity.

But in Yin Yunze's eyes, this temple, which cost her hundreds of thousands to build, was shrouded in a layer of Earth Vein Power.

Furthermore, as believers began to enter the temple to burn incense, a layer of purple Power of Incense Offerings began to envelop the temple.

As the new temple began to manifest its miraculous power, in a corner of Clear Creek Village, in a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned by everyone.

An abstract statue that resembled more of a mouse than a fox silently turned to dust.

As a gust of wind blew by, the entire dilapidated temple collapsed beyond repair.

Of course, Yin Yunze no longer cared about the collapse of a dilapidated temple.

At this moment, Yin Yunze was more focused on the temple in front of him, which was beginning to show its divine power.

It was only after truly possessing the golden statue of the temple that Yin Yunze understood why her Expel Evil and Dispel Filth and Fox Fire had failed to harm the Grandfather Three Temple in the slightest.

With the dual protection of the Power of Incense Offerings and the Earth Vein Power, it would be strange if Yin Yunze's Fox Fire had any effect!

Although the Power of Incense Offerings at Yin Yunze's temple are not as powerful as those accumulated over a hundred years by Grandfather Huang Three, the protective effect of the Earth Vein Power in the entire Clear Creek Basin is probably five times that of Grandfather Three Temple.

Given the current speed at which Yin Yunze is accumulating followers and Power of Incense Offerings surpasses that of the Grandfather Three Temple.

Just as Yin Yunze was thinking this, Yin Yunze discovered that a third layer had appeared outside her temple, bathed in a mottled golden purple light.

However, this layer of purple light only enveloped the two layers of protection and did not actually fall.

It shrouded the entire temple, giving it an appearance of being on the verge of collapse.

"Dynastic Karmic Luck? Why would such a thing appear? Could it be—"

With a thought, Yin Yunze transformed into a streak of light and flew into the temple.

This is an ability that Yin Yunze gained after the temple's golden statue was completed: a fixed-point return to the city.

No matter where he is in the world, as long as he has a thought, Yin Yunze can return to the statue he is loyal to.

Upon returning to the statue, Yin Yunze discovered that his perspective was now that of the Subordinate Deity, looking down upon everyone from above.

Among the crowd, Yin Yunze spotted four familiar faces: three adults and one child, two men and two women.

However, having already learned from Peng Shulan that Xu Hanxian wanted to come and mend their relationship, Yin Yunze was not surprised.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze did not appear directly in front of the four people, but instead activated the temple's most important ability: the Dao Field.

She felt a sudden weight on her body, and the next moment, Yin Yunze found herself in a place exactly like the temple she had been to before.

However, the temple was completely empty; there was no one else there.

Although they appear to be in temples, Yin Yunze and ordinary mortals no longer exist in the same plane.

To give an analogy, it's like the surface world and the inner world of Silent Hill.

Mortals exist in the real world, while Yin Yunze currently exists in the inner world of the Dao Field.

As the owner of this place, Yin Yunze learned of the purpose of this Dao Field immediately.

The information left by Grandfather Huang Three has been abridged, and some information is incomplete.

For example, Yin Yunze only learned about the Dao Field's role in fighting enemies from Grandfather Huang Three's information. He didn't know that if the Dao Field wasn't used for fighting enemies, it was a place for gods and their followers to rest.

After all, temples with more incense offerings have a constant stream of worshippers every day.

Wouldn't God find it noisy to be around so many noisy believers?

The most common function of Dao Field is to provide the deity with a private space where they can rest quietly and avoid being driven to a mental breakdown and outburst by the noise of believers.

However, if it's just for people to rest, the energy required to maintain this Dao Field is actually very low.

If maintained for a day, it would only Incense of Faith of ten casual believers. It can be said that this is a state that can be maintained indefinitely.

If one day, an Incense God becomes unable to even maintain the basic functions of its Dao Field.

This Incense God's career is over, and his divine destiny has come to an end.
