Chapter 215: New Subjects

Chapter 215: New Subjects

The Thunder God Grand Venerable of Fei Wu City, in a hurry, jumped up and down.

He couldn't wait to find Qi Yuan and send him to the Northern Sea Eye.

The Dusk Venerable stood by, his eyes filled with admiration, "The Origin Venerable always does things in an unconventional way, so nothing he does surprises me."

At the Hundred Flowers Festival, the Dusk Venerable had witnessed Qi Yuan's uniqueness.

This uniqueness, the courage to take action against evil deities and the quality of being the first in the world, left the Dusk Venerable in awe.

The Fire Lotus Venerable also looked on with curiosity, "I'd like to meet this extraordinary person as well."

Having contemplated twenty-one legends and eight myths, who exactly was this Qi Yuan?

This rather legendary ancient deity might be enough to rival the first person in the Mundane Heart World, the Gluttonyless Holy Mother.

The Fire Lotus Venerable was also a transformation of an ancient heroic spirit.

In her previous life, she had never met the Gluttonyless Holy Mother, but she had heard of her deeds.

The Fire Lotus Venerable held the Gluttonyless Holy Mother in the highest regard.

In a sense, she was also half a follower of the Sage Teachings of No Food.

"Hey, Old Thunder God, you're back?" Just then, a voice came from the air.

The flow of light stopped, and two figures appeared before the crowd.

Everyone looked over, their gazes falling on Qi Yuan, with surprise and awe in their eyes.

Was this the peerless genius?

The Thunder God Grand Venerable glared at Qi Yuan and said angrily, "You know you're back? Hurry up, pack up, and go to the Northern Sea Eye!"

"The Northern Sea Eye? What for?" Qi Yuan was a bit dazed, "Old Thunder God, stop shouting, just say what's going on!"

"What else can be done? Escape, of course! Look at the mess you've made!" The Thunder God Grand Venerable seemed to be at the end of his patience, "You sent your subordinates to kill the evil deities in Feng and Lin countries, and it was satisfying, but what now?"

The Thunder God Grand Venerable pointed at the Dusk Venerable and the others, saying, "These people have left the Ancient Deity Alliance and come to Qing Shui Village to support you, risking their lives!"

Only then did Qi Yuan turn to look at the Dusk Venerable and the others.

Qi Qi also introduced them to him.

Hearing Qi Qi's introduction, Qi Yuan's gaze softened.

Having left the Ancient Deity Alliance and traveled thousands of miles to support Qing Shui Village, Qi Yuan would remember this favor.

When it came to friends, Qi Yuan was never stingy.

"Do you want to be my subjects?" he asked, looking at the Dusk Venerable and the others.

As soon as these words came out, the ancient deities of the Ancient Deity Alliance were all a bit stunned.

They had come to support Qing Shui Village with the thought of dying.

But now the Origin Venerable was asking them to be his subjects, which they found puzzling.

The Thunder God Grand Venerable glared at Qi Yuan, "Now you're thinking of your subjects! Hurry to the Northern Sea Eye, or else the Demon Deity Camp will come, and you'll die here!"

The other ancient deities also felt the same.

The urgent task at hand was to leave this place and head to the Northern Sea Eye.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan shook his head, "The Demon Deity Camp won't be coming."

"What?" The Thunder God Grand Venerable was puzzled.

"Just now, Zhu Zhuangshi and I casually strolled around and blew up four nearby Demon Deity Camps."

Qi Yuan spoke nonchalantly as he took out a bottle of Fish-Frying Thunder Bombs.

"The quality of these firecrackers is excellent, and they can even limit the range.

It's a pity that there are only eight large ones, and I've already used four.

In the future, I can only fry small fish and shrimp." Qi Yuan sighed.

"Dark Thunder Orbs!" The Thunder God Grand Venerable's eyes widened.

As the master of thunder techniques, the Thunder God Grand Venerable was all too familiar with what was in front of him.

This pile of small beads was actually a collection of Dark Thunder Orbs.

Moreover, among them were four fist-sized ones, which even the Thunder God Grand Venerable sensed as a strong threat.

The other ancient deities also looked at the Dark Thunder Orbs in Qi Yuan's hand with awe, their divine orifices automatically activating to protect their bodies.

"I used four of these large ones to blow up four Demon Deity Camps." Qi Yuan put away the Dark Thunder Orbs, "So, for the time being, it's estimated that no Demon Deity Camp will come.

Everyone can eat in peace."

Qi Yuan's voice was relaxed.

Since they had killed the evil deities in Feng and Lin countries, it would attract the Demon Deity Camp to surround and kill them.

To avoid this, it was simple—destroy the Demon Deity Camp in advance.

Without the Demon Deity Camp, wouldn't Qing Shui Village be worry-free?

The Thunder God Grand Venerable fell silent.

The ancient deities of the Ancient Deity Alliance on the field were also speechless.

Qi Yuan always broke their understanding.

The Thunder God Grand Venerable took a deep breath and muttered, "From now on, whoever calls me a hothead, I'll rush at them!"

A hothead?

How dare he compare himself to the Origin Venerable?

The Origin Venerable was the real hothead!

Compared to the Origin Venerable, he was just a timid turtle.

"So, do you want to go to the Northern Sea Eye?" Qi Yuan once again looked at everyone and extended an invitation.

"Do you want to be my subjects? I'll have some small benefits to give to you."

The Dusk Venerable was helpless, as Qi Yuan was quite persistent about becoming subjects.

When Qi Yuan first heard the invitation, he was surprised and didn't say a word.

The other Ancient Deities were also perplexed, unsure of Qi Yuan's intentions.

However, the Ancient Deities who had followed Qi Yuan from the Ancestral Grounds were full of anticipation as they looked at him: "Master, will we get some benefits too?"

Pine Gazing Ancient Deity looked at these people and couldn't help but say, "Master is giving you the Divine Domain Elixir, what more could you want?"

At this moment, Pine Gazing Ancient Deity, with his brittle bones, was always considering Qi Yuan's well-being.

The other Ancient Deities, including Dusk Venerable, were astonished by these words.

Were these benefits the Divine Domain Elixir?

The Divine Domain Elixir could condense the embryonic form of a Divine Domain, an invaluable treasure for Venerables.

The breath of many Ancient Deities quickened.

"We came here with the determination to die, and becoming subjects is just becoming subjects. If we can obtain the Divine Domain Elixir, it's not a loss," Dusk Venerable said with a hearty laugh.

In other situations, if someone tried to entice him with the Divine Domain Elixir, he definitely wouldn't choose to become a subject.

But now, everyone was like grasshoppers on a rope, sharing life and death.

There was no need to be particular about these things.

After all, they were all going to die.

Moreover, Origin Venerable's actions had earned the respect of these people.

"Then let's follow Origin Venerable as our master!" Fire Lotus Venerable said gently.

The other Ancient Deities also spoke up, some hesitantly, but still willing to follow Origin Venerable as their master.

In the Mundane Heart World, even a verbal pledge of loyalty would take effect.

Thunderbolt Supreme looked at Qi Yuan and scoffed, "I don't fancy your Divine Domain Elixir, so I won't be your subject."

As a Supreme, he wouldn't bow for the sake of the Divine Domain Elixir.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan seemed a bit disappointed: "What a pity, I had prepared a grand gift for you, Thunderbolt Supreme. Since you don't want to be my subject, I'll have to reconsider this grand gift..."

"What grand gift would I care about?" Thunderbolt Supreme brushed it off, but looking at Qi Yuan, he continued, "Forget it, you begged me three or four times to become a villager of Qing Shui Village.

You've been so humble, and I'm a kind person, so I'll reluctantly agree to become your subject.

Don't think I'm doing this because I fancy your grand gift!"

Thunderbolt Supreme seemed quite proud.

In the end, he still chose to become Qi Yuan's subject.

"Today is full of joyous events," Qi Yuan was also excited.

Qing Shui Village had many Venerables, but the only Supreme was Lotus Blossom Supreme.

Lotus Blossom Supreme was in the Northern Sea Eye, and now there was also Thunderbolt Supreme.

"Enough with the joy, if you keep smiling, you'll laugh yourself to death!" Thunderbolt Supreme, now a subject of Qi Yuan, spoke without courtesy, "You're quite fierce, directly destroying four Demon Deity Camps. This time, the new deities won't be able to delay the Divine Battle!"

In the Mundane Heart World, the power of the new deities far surpassed that of the Ancient Deities.

If a Divine Battle of the same scale as the Battle of Hongtu were to occur between the two, the Ancient Deities in the Mundane Heart World would have been wiped out long ago.

The reason so many Ancient Deities still existed was that the new deities didn't take action and sweep away the Ancient Deities.

The reason for this was simple.

Within the Celestial Pillar, there was a Yang Deity in hiding, devouring the Heavenly Dao of the Mundane Heart World.

This also caused a deficiency in the Heavenly Dao of the Mundane Heart World.

Specifically, Divine Infant Cultivators, and even True Deities, would feel a sense of hunger.

The Yang Deity had been devouring the Heavenly Dao of the Mundane Heart World, and perhaps in a few more days, the Heavenly Dao would be completely consumed.

At that time, the life and death of all Ancient Deities in the Mundane Heart World would be at the mercy of that Yang Deity's whim.

Therefore, many of the new deities didn't bother to risk their lives to kill the Ancient Deities.

After all, they only needed to wait a few decades or a hundred years for the Yang Deity to consume the Heavenly Dao.

All the Ancient Deities would die.

However, Qi Yuan had killed a hundred demons in Maple and Lin's countries, and then destroyed four Demon Deity Camps.

The demons in other areas of the Northern Wasteland probably wouldn't care about the fate of these Demon Deity Camps and might even treat it as a joke over tea.

The Northern Wasteland had five continents, and the demons on the other four continents would turn a blind eye. The Demon Deity Camp Lord of Qingheng Continent would definitely not sit idly by.

The camp lords of the four camps were all capable generals.

After being destroyed by Qi Yuan, he would definitely seek revenge to regain his honor.

"It won't take more than ten or half a month for the generals under the Qingheng Continent's Camp Lord to arrive. You handle it!" Thunderbolt Supreme had already given up.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan revealed a smile: "Is the game setting that after defeating the small ones, the big ones will come?

My setting is, after defeating the small ones, I'll defeat the big ones!"

How could he possibly let his enemies come in waves to attack him?

His style was to strike first and be the strongest! He would take advantage of his enemies' lack of attention and directly destroy them.

"I'll wait and see your performance!" Thunderbolt Supreme glared at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan's voice boomed with confidence, "I've found the game's bug, and I'm about to sweep through the Mundane Heart World!"

In the past, creating powerful beings was a challenging task with numerous restrictions.

Now, those limitations are almost non-existent; all that's needed is mass production.

This game is all about unleashing troops and dominating.

It's even simpler than the Flowing Wind Realm.

Of course, the only issue is the presence of a formidable Yang Deity opponent.

"The Great Venerables of Qingheng Continent are mere minnows compared to my experience. There's no need for concern."

Qi Yuan called out, "Come here, Qi Qi!" His thoughts were quick; he had just been discussing the crisis on Qingheng Continent, and now he summoned Qi Qi.

"Father!" Qi Qi appeared, exasperated, as she was busy with other tasks.

"How's the progress on the basic information registration?" Qi Yuan asked.

Before leaving Fei Wu City with Zhu Zhuangshi to unleash the Fish-Frying Thunder Bomb, Qi Yuan had given deep thought to how he could expand and strengthen his forces.

One crucial aspect was finding suitable paths for his loyal subjects, especially the Venerables, to ensure their growth.

Qi Yuan's current challenge was the lack of high-end combat power.

Take Zhu Zhuangshi, for example. Even with the acquisition of a Myth-level Divine Contemplation Technique and various resources, his strength had increased, but he still paled in comparison to the Lotus Blossom Supreme, who had obtained the Hundred Flowers Immortal's Divine Contemplation Technique, a legendary-level skill.

However, in terms of potential, the Heavenly General Tianpeng's prospects were even higher.

The path for the Venerables was clear, unlike ordinary subjects who could cultivate any Divine Contemplation Technique.

Only the path of the Divine Contemplation Technique, similar to that of the True Deities, could be followed.

Just like the Lotus Blossom Supreme and the Hundred Flowers Immortal.

So, Qi Yuan's idea was to write down the expected deity positions for his True Deity subjects, based on their cultivation paths.

This way, he could match each of them with a suitable Divine Contemplation Technique.

By doing so, their combat strength would increase more rapidly.

"Here's the form!" Qi Qi waved her hand, and a stack of papers with a modern feel appeared, filled with various information.

Qi Yuan glanced at the form and gently pushed it outward.

Suddenly, each of the Ancient Deities held a copy of the form in their hands.

"Fill this out, and I'll be back from the feast. Once I'm done, we'll collect these together."

"Age? Name? Personality?

Skills mastered? Cultivation methods? Expected deity position?"

The form contained peculiar information that left Huanghun Venerable amused and bewildered.

If Huanghun Venerable had lived on Blue Star, he would have noticed that the form's content resembled a resume used for job interviews.

"Huanghun Venerable, what does Origin Heaven Supreme mean by this?" Huolian Venerable asked.

The other Ancient Deities were equally perplexed.

What was the purpose of filling out these forms?

"I'm not sure," Huanghun Venerable shook his head, momentarily struck by a terrifying thought, which he quickly dismissed.

Impossible.

"Could it be that the Great Lord intends to create personalized Divine Contemplation Techniques for each of us?" At that moment, the Pine Gazing Ancient Deity trembled as he voiced his speculation.

The other Ancient Deities turned their attention to him.

They had entertained similar thoughts but deemed them too far-fetched.

"The Great Lord does indeed possess knowledge of numerous Ancient Deities we've never encountered.

But how could he possibly create personalized techniques for each of us?

I suspect that after we fill out the forms, he will select a few suitable ones and proceed with the Divine Contemplation." The twin sister analyzed, and her words gained approval from most of those present.

That seemed like a more plausible scenario.

Upon hearing this, Pine Gazing Ancient Deity turned to one of the Ancient Deities, "Li Xiao, are you planning to follow the Physical Body Path?"

Li Xiao looked bewildered, "I'm focusing on the Wood Technique. The Physical Body Path was just a casual suggestion!"

"No, you must follow the Physical Body Path! You can't take the same path as me!" Pine Gazing Ancient Deity insisted, his voice filled with urgency.

After all, on the same cultivation path, there might only be one powerful Ancient Deity.

Only the Divine Contemplation Techniques of Great Venerable-level beings would be of significant use to the Venerables present.

So, if they followed the same path, it was unlikely that Qi Yuan would bestow them with a Divine Contemplation Technique.

Li Xiao glanced at Pine Gazing Ancient Deity and sighed, "That's preposterous! Why are you so anxious? Alas, it's embarrassing that we're neighbors."

Pine Gazing Ancient Deity and Li Xiao began to argue, and the atmosphere in the room lightened.

The previously tense environment became much more relaxed.
