Dividing Divine Offices
However, the identity of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens is now too deeply associated with the Agricultural God, making it difficult to establish new divine roles.
Although a deity whose primary function is Agricultural God is actually more powerful in combat than a typical deity who is primarily focused on warfare, this contrast is quite endearing.
But based on what Yin Yunze has experienced, he understands that this is simply impossible.
Once your first impression has become deeply ingrained, it's very difficult to change how others perceive you.
Therefore, rather than going through the trouble of creating a second divine office for Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, Yin Yunze chose to directly create a second Avatar.
This image of the silver-armored fox girl is the divine position of war god that Yin Yunze prepared for himself.
However, having learned from the previous experience with the male statue, Yin Yunze is now somewhat uncertain.
If this image is posted, won't it be seen as usurping someone else's place, and then it'll explode?
With a hint of nervousness, Yin Yunze placed the silver-armored fox spirit to the left of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Although, under Yin Yunze's tense observation, the believers did experience some fluctuations in their feelings towards this silver-armored fox girl.
Ultimately, because of their shared origins, they might have considered it Avatar of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, and thus did not resist it too much.
He let out a soft breath, and then Yin Yunze took out the second statue.
Now that he had an idea, Yin Yunze naturally planned to go all the way.
The two statues, however, depict a fox-eared girl with white hair and black eyes, dressed in plain clothes.
The girl with dark eyes was dressed in plain white clothes, her hair loose.
He held a booklet in his left hand and a round plate in his right.
Yin Yunze intends to position this second statue as the deity of the God of Death.
Life, battle, death.
If Yin Yunze could truly gather all three divine positions, he would be able to handle most situations.
Moreover, Yin Yunze's two new images were not decided on a whim.
The silver-armored war god Avatar, Yin Yunze plans to use thunder and the Authority over Suppressing Evil as his main weapons in the future.
With these two powers, once the God of War was born, there was no fear of being unable to defeat anyone.
The Avatar of Death is the Authority over Frost and Snow and the Rebirth Golden Lotus Seal. The combination of the two barely qualifies.
After all, frost and snow often represent winter, the time of year's decline, and are therefore often associated with the concept of death.
The Rebirth Golden Lotus Seal can help the souls of the deceased find peace.
In addition, Yin Yunze could also get the City God to do things for her to some extent.
After this divine office was conceived, it was indeed possible to truly shoulder this responsibility.
With that in mind, Yin Yunze placed the statue of the black-eyed fox girl to the right of the image of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
Similar to the statue of the silver-armored fox woman, it also caused fluctuations in the faith of believers.
However, because they share the same origin, they were not resisted or destroyed.
However, although they were not boycotted, no real Incense of Faith were actually placed on these two new gods.
Yin Yunze also understood that what followed was the most important thing.
As Yin Yunze slowly closed his eyes, countless Power of Incense Offerings surged violently within his mind.
Within the territory of Anqing Prefecture, all of Yin Yunze's followers.
Whether human, monster, or Orthodox God.
Whether asleep or awake.
They all fell asleep at the same time, without prior arrangement.
All living beings in Anqing Prefecture had the same dream at the same time.
This is a pitch-black world, with no end in sight.
Then, a giant Nine-Tailed White Fox appeared from the void, its radiance dispelling the darkness of the world.
No verbal explanation is needed; it's immediate.
All living beings suddenly realized that this Nine-Tailed White Fox was none other than the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
As these creatures had anticipated, the Nine-Tailed White Fox opened its mouth and spoke in a light, melodious voice, "I am Green Hill Yi Yun!"
Just as the believers were about to kneel and kowtow, they suddenly saw the Nine-Tailed White Fox split into three, transforming into three nine-tailed fox-eared maidens.
Standing between the three was a Nine-Tailed Fox -eared girl with white hair and green eyes, holding Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase in her left hand and Jeweled Tree Glazed Branch in her right.
This image is also the one most familiar to believers: the image of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
Her gaze fell upon all the beings in the dream, and the green-eyed, fox-eared girl softly said, "I am the leader of the Three Qing, the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens! My duty is to oversee growth and prosperity!"
Following her was a girl with white hair and red eyes, dressed in silver armor, standing to the left of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
Although both are nine-tailed fox-eared girls, they are different from the peaceful and holy Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
This young girl seemed to be surrounded by an air of arrogance that seemed to defy heaven and earth.
The red-eyed girl held a three-pointed, double-edged sword in her right hand and a golden dragon-scale bow in her right.
The silver-armored fox spirit then declared softly, "I am the second of the Three Qing Ones, True Lord of the Azure Source! In charge of victory and protection!"
Finally, there was the girl with the simplest appearance, dressed in plain clothes and with dark eyes.
Unlike the other two, this white-haired, black-eyed, Nine-Tailed Fox -eared girl exudes a cold and aloof aura that commands respect and keeps one at a distance.
However, at first glance, he gives the impression of being very cold and aloof.
But upon closer inspection, one can sense a hint of pity for the world beneath the girl's cold exterior.
The girl with dark eyes held a book in her left hand and a constantly spinning wheel in her right.
With her gaze lowered, the fox-woman in plain clothes spoke softly in a clear, cold voice, "I am the last of the Three Qing, the Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether! My duty is to govern death and peace!"
Finally, these three fox girls, who were exactly alike yet vastly different, merged into one in an instant, transforming into the original Nine-Tailed White Fox.
This time, the Nine-Tailed White Fox looked at all living beings and said simultaneously in three different voices, "I am Three Qing, Green Hill Yi Yun!"
The announcement, though not loud, lingered for a long time in the hearts of all living beings in Anqing Prefecture.
When they opened their eyes, everyone found that the sky was already bright.
"I think I had a strange dream that involved the Goddess Yuanjun."
In an ordinary house, a husband casually said something to his wife.
Unexpectedly, the wife immediately replied, "I had a dream too! I dreamt that there were actually three Yuanjun Goddesses—no, it was a Nine-Tailed White Fox that split into three Yuanjun Goddesses—no, that's not right either—"
"----It is Lady Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, Lady True Lord of the Azure Source Zhenjun, and Lady Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether Fujun!"
On the street, an old scholar, smugly addressing the crowd waiting nearby, said, "The meaning of that dream is that the three goddesses are all one—only, Avatar of different divine roles, each presiding over a different divine office! Let me tell you, you..."
Afterwards, make sure you worship the right person—"
In this ancient society where entertainment was scarce, everyone shared the same dream.
Moreover, the dream of the mythical scene of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens splitting into three naturally became the biggest topic of conversation in the streets and alleys.
Many people shared their insights about that dream with others, engaging in lively discussions.
Although there have been instances of differing opinions, disputes, and even physical altercations.
However, no one has raised any objection to the concept that the Three Qing Goddesses all come from the same source and are a unified trinity.
It seems that from the very beginning, this concept was deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.
Inside the county lord's temple, it was as if the lively scene of the day when Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens took over the temple had been recreated.
The fact that everyone had the same dream was already considered very strange by the people.
With a mixture of belief and skepticism, they arrived at the county temple.
When they saw True Lord of the Azure Source and Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether standing beside Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, exactly as they had in their dreams.
All the believers immediately understood that the dream was a divine oracle sent down by the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
It must be said that the people in this world are still simple and honest, and they quickly accepted this new setting.
In fact, Yin Yunze's plan didn't even require the steps of pretending to be True Lord of the Azure Source and Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether to perform miracles; these believers simply accepted it.
That's true, otherwise, how could they be called believers!
Naturally, they would believe whatever the deity Yin Yunze said!
But why don't you want to believe that I'm actually just an ordinary human male?
However, Lady Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens harbored deep resentment towards this.
As believers came to understand and acknowledge the divine authority of True Lord of the Azure Source and Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether.
The power of Incense of Faith began to be passed on to Yin Yunze, targeting them as well.
Sensing the incense burning from the other two Avatar, Yin Yunze noticed that this incense was also slightly different.
Compared to the peaceful and pure Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, the incense offerings received by True Lord of the Azure Source are more fervent. Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether, on the other hand, is relatively more aloof.
Unsurprisingly, they appeared on the same day.
However, the Incense of Faith for the second brother, True Lord of the Azure Source, far exceeds that for the third brother, Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether, by almost five times.
In contrast, some venerable ones who were about to travel to other places had already begun to pray to True Lord of the Azure Source for safety and protection.
However, on Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether's side, although there were incense offerings, no one actually made any requests.
Thinking about it, that's actually quite normal.
After all, people throughout history and in every world have been somewhat averse to the topic of death.
If it weren't for the fact that the Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether and the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens are one entity, there would probably be far fewer people worshipping them.
However, the combined Incense of Faith of these two new gods still doesn't even amount to a fraction of that of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.
Yin Yunze wasn't disappointed, after all, it was only the first day.
This level of progress is already quite good.
As time passed, Yin Yunze discovered that the amount of Incense of Faith that True Lord of the Azure Source received in just one day was already comparable to that of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens during the Qingnü era.
However, although True Lord of the Azure Source has initially formed a divine office, he shows no sign of forming a physical body.
As for the poor third son, Prefecture Lord of the Azure Nether didn't even have a real divine position.
