Chapter 84

Yintong explained the situation in the underworld, and Shuiyong, the Lord of Water, looked sympathetic. Similar to Yintong, he was responsible for this matter and also had someone pushing from behind.

"I'm fine. The Netherworld is vast, so compensating Lord Cao with a new territory is manageable. But what about your City God's side? Longchuan has suffered a disaster, and at least the City God of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty should give an explanation. And what about the Fourth Rank City God who died as bait?"

"Someone from the Great Zhou Dynasty is coordinating. As for the deceased City God," Shuiyong smiled, "he will be the future Lord of Qinglong City. Initially, I saw his lack of cultivation and intended to use this incident to temper him. Afterward, I can reincarnate his soul for another life of cultivation. But for now..."

Shuiyong looked at the various City Gods below who were performing the ritual to the Heavenly Path. "Who do you think is suitable to temporarily take the position of the Lord of Longchuan?"

Yintong, the Lord of the Underworld, politely declined, "This is a matter for your City God system. We from the Underworld should not interfere."

Emperor Yang closed his eyes to rest and said nothing.

"Then," Shuiyong looked among the County City Gods and pointed to the City God of Jinglong City. "Him."

"Wait a moment." The red-robed divine being, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke, "Why not let this young man continue as the acting City God until the new City God returns?" The divine being pointed to Xun Yi, and Emperor Yang immediately opened his eyes, looking at the red-robed divine being and then at Shuiyong.

You didn't speak up just now, Shuiyong's anger flashed and then disappeared, and he laughed, "This young man is a noble lineage's Destiny God. Without the noble lineage's permission, how can I arrange it casually?"

The red-robed divine being was a先天神 (先天神 means a primordial deity) of the Fortune God system, specifically there to distribute rewards. Seeing another Destiny God appear, he was delighted but showed no emotion on his face: "If the City God of Jinglong County acts as the City God of the prefecture, when the prefecture City God returns, the County City God's position will be demoted, which would not be ideal. It would be better to let this young man continue as the acting City God. After all, he is just a minor deity of the First Heaven, not part of our Fortune God system."

Not part of the Fortune God system, Emperor Yang and others inwardly sneered: The Destiny Gods are the most special among the Fortune God system, and they are self-realized. How many do you have in your Fortune God system?

The path of advancement for Destiny Gods includes the Supreme Fortune Emperor and two Eighth Heaven Assistant Emperors. The Great Destiny God oversees longevity, and the Lesser Destiny God oversees life. They can even change to other deities like Wealth, Rank, and Literature, making them the most important deities in the Fortune God system. The entire Fortune God system has only 23,000 Destiny Gods, most of whom were created through incense offerings and wishes and cannot condense an imperial soul. Only 8,000 Destiny Gods achieved their positions through their own efforts, and most of them have changed to other Fortune Gods. Those who remain firmly on the Destiny God path are few.

"Given the solidarity of the Fortune God lineage, would they abandon a self-realized deity with high potential?" The various deities had different thoughts. Emperor Yang, recalling his meeting with Xun Yi a few years ago, decided to help, "Since he was designated by Lord Cao, why not ask Lord Cao's opinion? After all, the people in the City God's residence are his subordinates."

Yintong, the Lord of the Underworld, wanted to repay a favor to Lord Cao and agreed, "Yes, since he was designated by Lord Cao, let him continue in the absence of the new City God."

Seeing the attitude of the great deities, Shuiyong said, "Since my fellow deities have this intention, I dare not refuse." He wrote a talisman and handed it to the red-robed Fortune God.

The Heavenly Court rewards deities through the Fortune God lineage using the Heavenly Fortune Treasure Plate to calculate. The size of the merit determines the corresponding reward.

The divine being held a golden light, and a circular plate projected from it, emitting a holy and majestic aura.

Emperor Yang and others stepped back three steps, showing respect for this treasure left by Emperor Yan.

"This Heavenly Fortune Treasure is no less powerful than a primordial divine artifact and seems to complement the Nine Heavens Honggong Yuande Taishang Jing that Xun Yi practices."

The merit tree conceived by the Taishang Jing resonates with the Heavenly Fortune Treasure Plate, which grants them merit powers. In other words, the Fortune Gods can communicate with the heavens and use the Heavenly Fortune Treasure Plate to calculate their own merits without needing others. Therefore, many merit gods are high-ranking deities' subordinates, responsible for helping deities distribute merits.

The Heavenly Fortune Treasure Plate in the hands of the Fortune God rotated, transforming into golden light carrying the City God's talisman and descending to the mortal world.

Xun Yi and others waited patiently. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and golden clouds gathered, showering each City God with merit rain.

Xun Yi's merit tree responded, resonating with the Heavenly Fortune Treasure Plate, informing him of the Fortune God system's rewards.

"Each County City God is rewarded with 10,000 merits for saving the emperor. The Prefecture City God is rewarded with 100,000 merits for protecting the divine city and exposing the Earth Mother Temple's conspiracy." Protecting the City God's residence alone would not have earned so many merits. The key was the Earth Mother Temple, which allowed the Heavenly Court to track the whereabouts of several rebellious Earth Mothers and suppress a few Earth Mothers within the system, hence the 100,000 merits.

However, as an acting City God, Xun Yi, according to the rules, could only receive half. 50,000 merits were sealed in the City God's residence, and the remaining 50,000 were bestowed upon Xun Yi.

"Dividing the merits among Aunt Xue, Judge Wen, and others, I won't have much left."

Shuiyong's talisman opened, and with this talisman, Xun Yi could officially take charge of the prefecture.

The County City Gods saw the talisman and looked at each other. "We pay our respects to the Prefecture City God."

The master-subordinate relationship was re-established, and Xun Yi felt the earth's fortune of the entire Longchuan Prefecture flow into him. In his mind, a new divine flower bloomed.

"It must be for reviving and saving people." Xun Yi stared intently at the merit divine flower, silently chanting in his heart.

The flower bud slowly grew, and the innate divine script "Life" appeared on it.

Information about this divine power spontaneously flowed into Xun Yi's mind: "Heal flesh and bones, a healing divine power. Advanced: limb regeneration. Ultimate: resurrection."

Seeing this divine power, Xun Yi laughed heartily under the tree. "There's hope for my mother's resurrection."

"Indeed, you get what you need. The Fortune God is truly the best divine position in the world."

The strong luck of the Fortune God means divine favor. As long as the belief is strong, the newly granted merit divine powers will be what the Fortune Gods need.

The only slight drawback was that his merit value stopped at 14,500 and did not move.

The Second Heaven merit divine power requires 10,000 merits for each divine power. The first divine power was obtained at 5,000 merits, and the next should be at 15,000, 25,000, 35,000, and 45,000.

Just 500 points short.

Xun Yi looked at the merit book in his hand. The remaining 40,000 merits were all distributed, with each beast receiving a few hundred merits.

"Fine, a thousand gold for a bone. My grandfather said, 'Reward generously for great deeds, and punish severely for faults.' Consider it a way to win people's hearts." Xun Yi sighed inwardly as the merits slowly drained away, smiling and thanking the beasts. At the same time, he used his newly obtained divine power.

"Heal flesh and bones." With the City God's divine power, the entire divine city was covered by this divine power. All the spirits and beasts, unless severely injured, had their wounds heal under the green mist, leaving no scars. The severely injured spirits and beasts gradually felt less pain and stopped deteriorating.

"The Fortune Gods are indeed experts in blessings," Liu Gong silently envied, seeing the spirits and beasts of Chulu lively and thanking them.

Xun Yi waved his hand. "I should be the one to thank you. This time, I am grateful for the Chulu spirits and beasts who bravely came to rescue us. The city was already planning to build a place for the Chulu spirits and beasts to live. Now, after this disaster, it will need your help to rebuild your homes." He instructed Judge Wen to expand the living area for the Chulu spirits and beasts.

He also used the reconstruction of homes as an opportunity to re-plan the residential areas for the city's spirit beasts.

Liu Gong agreed to everything. After Xun Yi hosted a banquet for the spirits, he suddenly remembered something. "I have a favor to ask of you all."

"Whatever you need, just say it," a bear-headed, muscular man patted his chest. "With everyone here, we can help you."

"It's not a big task, just a small favor," Xun Yi smiled, looking at the group of "laborers" and calculating in his mind: After giving them so many merits, borrowing a bit of their strength shouldn't be too much, right?
