The City God was completely dumbfounded by Ye Yuan's words.
He felt like he was listening to a heavenly book.
The so-called "Divine Dao rules the world, and prestige spreads all over the four seas" sounded like it.
But how could the Divine Dao be so powerful?
A small City God like him was nothing. In the eyes of a true cultivator, he was just an ant.
As for the 'Heavenly Court' and the 'Infernal World', it was even more unheard of.
You don't know about the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld?"
Ye Yuan was stunned.
He was even more confused than Shing Wong.
The City God was a true god and was under the jurisdiction of the underworld, while the Heavenly Court ruled over all the gods.
When he realized that there was a Shing Wong in this world, he instinctively thought that the Shing Wong must be under the jurisdiction of the Netherworld…
After all, this was common sense. Who didn't know that the City God was the true god of the underworld?
However, he did not expect that the real situation was completely different.
Little Ning County's City God had actually never heard of the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld. This made Ye Yuan feel awkward and puzzled.
"I really don't know. Could it be some famous grotto-heaven? Is it related to the Divine Dao?"
Shing Wong shook his head.
"I heard that the god once told the people in the city in a dream that he would borrow troops to deal with the Fiendish Ghosts…"
"Oh, that's true. In order to deal with the Fiendish Ghost, I went to ask the City God of the neighboring Changxing County and persuaded him to send troops to help. However, even if the two counties worked together, they still didn't have the confidence to take down the Fiendish Ghost.”
"It's actually like this!"
Ye Yuan fell into deep thought.
The Divine Path in this world was so strange. There was no Heavenly Court or Hell. It seemed that there was no organization that ruled over the gods in the world. When something happened in Ning County, they did not report it to their superiors, but to their neighbors for help...
Seeing Ye Yuan deep in thought, the City God naturally did not dare to disturb him.
However, his heart was filled with doubts.
"What is Mr. Ye thinking about? What I said is the truth. Is there anything strange about it?”
After a long time, Ye Yuan came back to his senses and asked again.
"This Ye presumptuously asks God, how did you obtain your God Throne? If they encountered trouble that they couldn't solve, did they have to ask their neighbors for help?”
The City God was stunned. He did not expect Ye Yuan to be interested in these Divine Dao matters. However, these were all common sense, so there was nothing to say.
"There are two ways to obtain a God Throne in this world.”
"Many people, whether they are scholars, warriors, or good people, as long as they accumulate good deeds and do something for the people of the world, they may become gods after death.”
" Most Gods obtained their God Thrones in this way, and so did Little Gods. I'm not afraid that you will cancel them. When Little Gods were alive, they were guerrilla generals of the previous dynasty. Because they protected the city and saved the people from war, they were remembered by the people. After they died, they created a golden body and built a temple, becoming a City God of a county. As for the subordinate gods in the City God's Office, half of them were promoted by me, and the other half were conferred by those who had made contributions in the human world.”
Ye Yuan nodded, indicating for him to continue.
In the mythological system of his previous life, there was also the possibility of becoming a god. However, after obtaining a god position, they would immediately be recorded in the underworld and become an internal god.
"The second type is an imperial edict from an external force. This kind of situation can't happen in a city in the human world. It can only happen in mountains, rivers, and lakes.”
"Many famous mountains and great rivers have spirits of their own, and they can brew an imperial decree. Those who are fated to obtain it can obtain mountain gods and river gods.”
"There are also some immortal sect experts who obtain the imperial decree by chance. They will confer the title of god to those cultivators who are not fated to transcend the tribulation and become their own forces. As for what to do when they encounter difficulties that they can't solve... Those gods who rely on the immortal sect will naturally ask for help from the immortal sect. As for us, we can only rely on ourselves. If we are lucky, we might be able to find help from our neighbors like the little gods.”
Shing Wong revealed everything he knew.
When Ye Yuan heard this, his expression could not help but become strange.
"The gods are actually under the jurisdiction of the immortal sects. Isn't this a mess? In this way, the Divine Dao is really declining.”
This was completely different from the immortals he knew.
"Isn't that so? Although many disciples of the immortal sects were polite on the surface when they saw us, they were disdainful in their hearts. The Shing Wong, who was in charge of a county in the human world, was really not a great character in their eyes.”
Shing Wong sighed.
It sounded nice to say that a city god ruled over a county, but it was just a city in the human world. What value did it have?
As for having an unlimited lifespan, it was not worth mentioning. Being trapped in a county, if nothing unexpected happened, was like being imprisoned in the eyes of the Immortal Cultivators who were used to freedom.
Moreover, the City God's so-called unlimited life was actually a false proposition.
During times of war, countless cities were destroyed. When cities were destroyed, the City Gods disappeared.
If the emperor issued an edict to move the entire city or merge a few cities, the Shing Wong Manor would also be reduced to nothingness.
How many ancient cities were there in this world?
The City God could not interfere with the affairs of the human world, but it would die because of the changes in the human world. It could be said that it had no autonomy at all.
After Ye Yuan heard this, he immediately understood where the City God's inferiority complex came from.
In comparison, the Divine Path was too restricted, and it sounded really pitiful.
"I didn't expect Divine Dao rules to be like this. Truly unfair.”
Ye Yuan sighed. In his opinion, a god like the City God was very necessary to exist. It was more important to protect peace and prevent demons from invading. It was more important than those leisurely cultivators.
If it was in his previous life, although the City God would also be affected by the human world, it would not die with the demise of the city. As long as he was transferred to another city or transferred back to the underworld, there would always be a way out...
"I don't think there's anything unfair about it. It's already a blessing from the heavens to be able to become the City God of a county. What else can I hope for? However, what exactly are the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld that you mentioned just now? Please enlighten me…"
The City God still remembered this matter. For some reason, when he heard Ye Yuan mention the " Nether World," the City God's Great Seal at his waist actually heated up slightly, as if it had sensed something.
In the dark, there was a faint aura pulling.
" The Heavenly Court and the Netherworld…"
Ye Yuan revealed a reminiscing expression and said with a smile.
" It's just that I've read about it from a book in the past. It says that the gods in this world are conferred by the Heavenly Court, that the Heavenly Court governs the human world, that the Infernal Realm controls the Yin Cao, and that the City God lineage is under the control of the Infernal Realm…Now that I've talked to the venerable god, I realize that the book is just nonsense and is not worthy of being mentioned in the hall of elegance.”
Shing Wong nodded and said.
"I see."
But in his heart, he felt a sense of yearning. If that was really the case, how good would that be?
Ye Yuan picked up his chopsticks again. However, after the previous conversation, he had some things in his heart, so the taste of the dishes had faded by 30%.
At this moment, Shing Wong said.
"I invited you today to repay your kindness. To be honest with you, I have long wanted to repay you for the karma I owe you…However, I have been hesitating for the past few days. You are an expert, and I am just a city god. What can I offer you to repay you?”
"I've been thinking hard for a few days, but I still haven't found any clues.”
"I might as well ask you in person. Whatever you need, as long as I can satisfy it, I will do it at all costs!”
City God really did not know what kind of 'sincerity' he could show, so he simply threw the question to Ye Yuan.
At this moment, he was extremely nervous.
If the thing that this expert wanted was too ridiculous, then he would be in trouble.
"What do I need?"
Ye Yuan was stunned and said something without thinking.
When Shing Wong heard this, he immediately revealed a bitter smile.
