Inviting Him into the Game

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, the expressions of these City God immediately softened considerably.

After all, Yin Yunze has now risen to the rank of Prefecture God. If he still holds a grudge, their future days will be difficult.

Yin Yunze's words, however, expressed an attitude of not holding grudges.

Of course, these City God were well aware of this.

What Yin Yunze said about being able to seek Yin Yunze help in the future was nothing more than an empty promise that might never be fulfilled.

If these City God encounter trouble, they can indeed seek help from Yin Yunze.

Whether Yin Yunze helps them or not depends on Yin Yunze mood.

Yin Yunze merely provided them with a channel to seek help, rather than promising to help them once.

If they really want Yin Yunze's help, these City God will probably have to show some sincerity.

However, regardless of the circumstances, having a chance to reconcile with Yin Yunze and gaining a free opportunity to seek help from the Prefecture God, they weren't entirely at a loss.

"Thank you, Lady Yuanjun!"

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave now?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the City God began preparing to return home.

As City God who govern a county, they actually have many things to do.

Regardless of how much or how little they do, if they do absolutely nothing, they won't be able to hold onto their positions as City God.

It's enough to have some connection with this Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens; judging by her behavior, who knows what will happen next.

These City God chose to keep their distance from Yin Yunze, avoiding any trouble.

Getting too close probably won't lead to anything good.

"----Okay, then you can go back."

Originally, Yin Yunze was thinking of inviting these City God to another meal.

However, since none of these City God had this idea, Yin Yunze naturally didn't presume to do it himself.

With Yin Yunze's permission, these City God immediately transformed into streaks of light and returned to their City God.

"You bunch of guys, are you trying to avoid a plague?!"

He muttered a silent complaint, and after all the City God had left, Yin Yunze looked at Guo Jing, who was still standing there, and said softly, "Jing'er, everything's alright here now, you should go back too."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Guo Jing nodded upon hearing this, then transformed into a stream of light and returned to the City God in Qingling County.

After surveying the original site of Tomb of Prince Jing a few times, Yin Yunze thought about it and decided to give up on any plans to take precautions.

After all, the Tomb of Prince Jing has already been pressed down to a depth of 10,000 meters by Yin Yunze, so there's really nothing an ordinary person can do anymore.

For those powerful figures who actually have the means to do something, there's no real point in Yin Yunze setting up additional defenses here.

After confirming that nothing was amiss, Yin Yunze changed his mind and transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the County Princess of Qingping Temple in Anqing Prefecture.

After it was finally completed and the statue was enshrined...

The statue of the County Princess of Qingping also became a point of reference for Yin Yunze to return to the city.

Compared to Clear Creek Village, where Yin Yunze commissioned people from the real world to build the Qingnü Hall, this County Lord Temple is relatively less exquisite.

However, although the county magistrate's temple is less exquisite, it occupies several times more space and looks much more imposing.

At this moment, the main hall of the county temple, which should have been empty, was densely packed with all kinds of believers.

Although Sun Qin and her group of priestesses tried their best to maintain order in the hall, it was still noisy and chaotic.

Despite the noise, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Furthermore, everyone was restrained, and no unpleasant accidents occurred despite the crowd.

No one had any ill intentions towards Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens because of this sudden downpour.

This sudden downpour, in any other context, would undoubtedly be a bad omen.

However, for Anqing Prefecture, which had been suffering from drought for almost a year, this was incredibly good news.

The rain fell as soon as the County Princess of Qingping took office, which is the best proof of Yin Yunze's Authority of the Agriculture God.

Not to mention, almost everyone witnessed the grand spectacle of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens suppressing the Drought Demon, which Yin Yunze broadcast.

All I can say is that the excessive incense smoke inside the county temple made Yin Yunze feel a bit choked up.

With a change of heart, Yin Yunze did not step out of the Subordinate Deity, but instead immersed himself in the Dao Field of the county lord temple.

As a branch temple, this county magistrate's temple has the same function as the main temple in Clear Creek Village, and naturally it can also form a Dao Field.

As Yin Yunze entered the new Dao Field, a white figure darted over.

"This is the Great Perfect Halo Aspect? Let me try it!"

Saying some somewhat offensive words, the white figure didn't hold back and reached out to grab the Great Perfect Halo Aspect.

Logically speaking, this Great Perfect Halo Aspect is a manifestation of the merits of the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, and it is impossible for others to touch it.

But this figure actually pulled the Great Perfect Halo Aspect out from behind Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, and then immediately placed it behind himself.

Having lost the Great Perfect Halo Aspect, the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens immediately fell to the ground, and the miraculous power of the golden lotus supporting her feet was gone.

On the contrary, the one opposite immediately received the miraculous Great Perfect Halo Aspect.

However, the light from the Great Perfect Halo Aspect illuminated the face of the person opposite.

It is also identical to the appearance of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.

The divine body wasn't annoyed that the mortal body was so eager to play with this Great Perfect Halo Aspect. After all, it was indeed fun.

Both are of the same kind; if they can use a divine body, they can also use a mortal body.

The Rebirth Golden Lotus Seal is closer to Divine Ability, and several other authority can be used simultaneously by both divine and mortal bodies.

This large, Great Perfect Halo Aspect is more like a prop such as Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase and Jeweled Tree Glazed Branch.

At any given time, only one individual between the two parties can receive the miraculous power of the Great Perfect Halo Aspect.

After playing around for a while, the mortal even began to try to lie flat in mid-air, lazily adopting a sleeping posture.

Stretching its body freely and swaying its nine tails, the mortal commented, "Sleeping like this is much more comfortable than lying on the ground—"

Glancing at the mortal body, the divine being conjured a long, icy chair for himself and lazily sat down on it. "Ah, it's finally over!"

Hearing the divine body say this, the mortal body rose, sat cross-legged in mid-air, nodded, and said, "What a tiring day."

"But the matter isn't over yet—" the divine body pondered for a moment, then said softly, "However, let's just wrap things up a bit more."

While it's called the final step, what actually needs to be done immediately is only related to Liu Zhengyuan.

With a thought, Yin Yunze focused his consciousness entirely on his divine body.

However, looking at the mortal body sitting cross-legged in the air with its head down under the influence of the Great Perfect Halo Aspect,

Yin Yunze thought for a moment, but still didn't take away the Great Perfect Halo Aspect.

With his Divine Sense sweeping across Anqing City, Yin Yunze quickly located Liu Zhengyuan.

Coincidentally, Liu Zhengyuan had just finished receiving the Ministry of Rites official who had bestowed an imperial edict upon Yin Yunze and was currently free.

Without giving it much thought, Yin Yunze invited Liu Zhengyuan into the Dao Field.

With a sudden flash before his eyes, Liu Zhengyuan was somewhat surprised to find that he had arrived at the county temple of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.

Moreover, compared to the county temple, which should have been bustling with activity, this place was unusually quiet.

However, Liu Zhengyuan soon saw the two Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens sitting in front of him.

However, Liu Zhengyuan felt somewhat unsure how to face this deity.

The one sitting on the ice bench was alright, but the one floating in mid-air was a bit...

Hmm, it's not quite as proper anymore.

However, being a seasoned official, Liu Zhengyuan naturally wouldn't show any abnormality, and still respectfully greeted, "This humble official greets the County Princess!"

Feeling somewhat tired, Yin Yunze didn't bother with the snow-cooking and tea-making process.

Although Liu Zhengyuan had already caused a lot of trouble today, Yin Yunze felt...

Rather than finding Liu Zhengyuan again in a few days, it's better to just confess everything at once.

Looking at Liu Zhengyuan, Yin Yunze went straight to the point. "Prefect Liu, I've come to see you mainly because there are two things I need to tell you."

Having entrusted his wife and daughters' lives and fortunes to Yin Yunze, Liu Zhengyuan naturally knew how to maintain his position. "Please speak, Your Highness!"

"Firstly, there are the grain varieties that I mentioned to you before, which have increased yields."

Because of the difference in the flow of time between the real world and this world, a period of time in the real world is not considered long.

Converted to the time system of this world, it would have to be measured in months.

However, since winter hasn't arrived yet, this slight delay won't cause any problems.

Now that he has the Authority of the Agriculture God, Yin Yunze can quickly accelerate the ripening of a batch of grains and see how they grow in this world.

"In a few days, send someone to Qingling County to check with Magistrate Xu on the yield of this batch of grain seeds. If it's feasible, next year you can use my name to select suitable grain seeds for each county to plant."

Hearing Yin Yunze say this, Liu Zhengyuan, with seven parts sincerity, earnestly flattered, "Your Majesty the Goddess has such a benevolent heart; it is truly a blessing for the people! After this good rain, the people must have gained confidence. Under Your Majesty's blessings, next year will surely—"

The County Princess of Qingping was, after all, just an official position. When it came to matters concerning the Authority of the Agriculture God, Liu Zhengyuan naturally switched to the respectful title of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.

The titles County Princess of Qingping, Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, and Qingnü all refer to Yin Yunze.

However, if you really want to distinguish them, there are indeed some differences.

The County Princess of Qingping represents Yin Yunze's noble rank in the imperial court.

Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens is the true deity corresponding to the god of Agricultural God.

The original title, Qingnü, was more in line with the Authority over Frost and Snow that she had acquired from Azure Heavens Jade Maiden.

Of course, as long as Yin Yunze doesn't care about the difference, it doesn't really matter which one he calls him.

If a believer calls upon the Lady Qingnü and asks Yin Yunze for rain, Yin Yunze wouldn't force them to call her Yuanjun before agreeing to send rain.

However, Liu Zhengyuan had been in officialdom for decades.

Liu Zhengyuan pays more attention to and is more meticulous about these subtle differences than most people.

After all, in officialdom, you could really offend someone and get yourself into trouble just because you didn't use the right title.

However, Yin Yunze genuinely didn't pay attention to such subtle differences.

Looking at Liu Zhengyuan, Yin Yunze brought up the second matter. "The second matter is related to resolving the issue you're worried about."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan became serious, his expression grave, and said, "Please speak, Your Highness!"

"Don't be so nervous. This should be good news for you."

Waving his hand to signal Liu Zhengyuan to relax, Yin Yunze said softly, "It's like this, this time, the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau also sent someone down to contact me. During this process, I reached a preliminary deal with that person. I reckon that if you join in, perhaps you won't be under that Lady Yao woman's control in the future."
