Mythical Three Kingdoms

”Ha, it’s already built, quite fast,” Taishi Ci remarked in surprise.

If it were in the Central Plains where Inner Qi existed, Taishi Ci would not feel this way. However, in the Wa Kingdom, a place devoid of Inner Qi, such speed was indeed astonishing. Since the temple was built, Taishi Ci naturally needed to personally capture Chen Xi’s Spiritual Talent.

”Honored god, how should we proceed with the sacrifice to this deity?” Void Tsujimikado respectfully inquired.

”Leave the rest to me, who knows if I can pull him over,” Taishi Ci shrugged and said, ”Let’s go, take a look.”

When Taishi Ci went over, the newly constructed temple was already filled with rows of witches and divine officials, about thirty people. All had already received the blessing of the Fantasy God. For some unknown reason, after Taishi Ci’s blessing, the speed of the Wa Kingdom’s Fantasy God’s blessing had significantly increased.

”Give me an incense stick.” Taishi Ci personally went over to offer a sacrifice to this empty temple without even a statue. As he bowed, all the divine officials and witches behind him followed suit in bowing with Taishi Ci.

Then, inexplicably, a cracking sound of glass shattering was heard by everyone. Simultaneously, all the catastrophic weather phenomena occurring across the Wa Kingdom instantly dissipated, and the four seasons began automatically calculating all the celestial phenomena.

After completing this, a beam of light suddenly descended from the high heavens, directly onto the empty divine position in the temple.

”Uh, Ziyi...” Chen Xi found himself a bit bewildered, as he was clearly on his way back to Ye City, so how did he suddenly end up here? What was going on?

”Marquis Chen, I pulled your Spiritual Talent into the Wa Kingdom,” Taishi Ci was also taken aback, and the other witches and divine officials immediately knelt upon seeing this scene.

Nevertheless, anyone who saw a large and lazy Nine-Tailed Fox crouched on the temple altar would surely be surprised. However, the pure white Nine-Tailed Fox, emanating a faint golden Radiance, in its lazy posture made all divine officials feel a sense of peace.

”I feel like my Spiritual Talent has shattered something and arrived at a strange place. My Spiritual Capacity has increased significantly, and it seems these spiritual levels have gained many peculiar Attributes.” The fox, half-closing its eyes, twitched its ears, then used one of its tails to smooth its fur before stretching out its body as if it wanted to lie down.

Taishi Ci quickly explained to Chen Xi, who immediately understood what had happened. His Spiritual Capacity had most likely squeezed into the Divine Village, thereby absorbing all the Spiritual Levels associated with the four seasons belonging to the Fantasy God.

In reality, Chen Xi was unaware that his Spiritual Talent had always been blocked by the Wa Kingdom’s deity system from affecting the Wa Kingdom.

However, just now, Taishi Ci’s sacrifice, along with the bows from those witches and divine officials, effectively shattered the resistance of the Divine Village towards Chen Xi’s Spiritual Talent, allowing Chen Xi’s Spiritual Talent to squeeze in successfully.

”Oh, my form here can be considered a Fortune Form of Divine Descent. In the Central Plains, the system concerning my Spiritual Talent has already been established, but can’t achieve the same as here. It seems it’s because the Divine Position has fixed my Fortune Form.” Chen Xi glanced at one of his protruding tails, finding nothing strange, only amused.

”Find me a witch, and I’ll bestow a blessing.” Chen Xi expressed dissatisfaction with the peculiar Attributes clinging to the outskirts of his Spiritual Capacity, being only interested in pure Spiritual Capacity.

”Let’s go with her.” Taishi Ci pointed his finger at Void Tsujimikado, indicating to bestow the blessing onto his concubine, thinking it wasn’t a loss anyway.

Although Taishi Ci spoke in Chinese, the witches and divine officials dared not translate using their abilities. Nonetheless, the action was obvious enough to be understood, leaving the witches and divine officials with a look of pity. However, there was nothing they could do, as this was some squabble between two great deities, and ordinary mortals had no say in the matter.

”Well, Auntie will probably be pleased you’ve found another concubine,” Chen Xi said as he curled a tail toward Void Tsujimikado and spoke to Taishi Ci. The witches and divine officials below were extremely envious, just lamenting their lack of such fortune.

”Alright, I’ve transferred all authority to her. She can control the four seasons now. This place is quite cumbersome, and it seems it’s time for me to leave,” Chen Xi said, waving one of his tails in Taishi Ci’s direction.

”Marquis Chen, aren’t you surprised?” Taishi Ci inquired curiously, ”Not to mention crossing ten thousand miles in an instant, but just your current form itself—don’t you have anything to say? You’re now a Nine-Tailed White Fox.”

”Not really, although this aspect is worth investigating. Besides, it’s just my spirit that’s here. While it seems unbelievable, it’s actually easy to understand. After all, my Spiritual Talent covers the entire Central Plains, and I’ve seen another Nine-Tailed White Fox before,” Chen Xi said nonchalantly. This sort of event had happened before; it was just that this time it caused a bigger stir.

”Well, you’re certainly impressive,” Taishi Ci said with admiration, as the part of Chen Xi on the Divine Position began gradually dissolving.

”It truly is a good ability, though it seems somewhat impractical. I recall a certain secret technique that seems capable of this degree of remote projection. By the way, this must have consumed a large amount of Inner Qi.” The Nine-Tailed Fox swayed its large tail as it slowly disappeared.

Chen Xi was right in estimating; this projection method indeed consumed an immense amount of Inner Qi. However, earlier he had just compressed a bunch of Fantasy Gods, gaining the Divine Positions of these gods along with a massive influx of unnecessary Inner Qi.

The important part wasn’t any of this, but that Chen Xi’s Spiritual Talent entering the Wa Kingdom’s deity system meant the complete collapse of the Wa Kingdom’s deity system.

Originally, these Fantasy Gods, relying on the Wa Kingdom’s vast Inner Qi and inexhaustible Spiritual Capacities, would eventually form the deities recognized by the Wa Kingdom people.

The structure of these deities was similar to the immortals of the Central Plains, being a composition of Inner Qi and spirit. However, compared to the immortals of the Central Plains, these deities had some special abilities.

Furthermore, thanks to highly similar fantasy-affixed Spiritual Capacities, these deities would gradually develop personalities of their own. Though derived from the mental energy of mortals, ultimately, through this method, they would transform falsehood into truth and finally form genuine deities.

But with the entry of Chen Xi’s Spiritual Talent, the Wa Kingdom’s deity birth plan was effectively aborted. Chen Xi’s Spiritual Talent, which comes with Free Spirit Energy absorption, would pull all the Spirit Energy gathered in the Divine Village onto itself.

This resulted in those Fantasy Gods turning into pure Inner Qi puppets, bereft of any resistance against the strong figures of the Central Plains.

With Chen Xi’s departure, the other witches and divine officials were finally able to rise, and it was only then that Void Tsujimikado managed to control his power with difficulty, as Chen Xi had just bestowed him with an entire Divine Position for managing the weather and seasons.

”How does it feel?” Taishi Ci curiously asked, saying Chen Xi thought this side was cumbersome and entrusted everything to Void Tsujimikado. Curiously, it piqued Taishi Ci’s interest too.

”I seem to be able to control the four seasons and change the celestial phenomena at will. I can also preset the celestial conditions to have the weather follow my parameters gradually,” Void Tsujimikado excitedly replied, completely unexpected that the deity would grant him such Mighty Power, ”Thank you, Honored God.”

”Do well; in a while, I also will have to leave. Manage this place well,” Taishi Ci said with satisfaction. Having someone like him here ensured a consistent output; transporting shipbuilding materials wouldn’t hurt his wallet anymore.

”Honored God, you’re leaving too?” Void Tsujimikado was startled.

”I can’t stay here forever,” Taishi Ci said helplessly.

All the witches and divine officials bowed their heads. They had anticipated Taishi Ci’s departure. After all, deities would not dwell among mortals for long. Many mythologies describe deities helping humans solve problems and then disappearing shortly after, and in their eyes, Taishi Ci was no different. Mortals need to be governed by mortals after all.

”In the future, after I’m gone, you’ll replace me in managing this place. I’ll return and check once in a while,” Taishi Ci said, patting Void Tsujimikado with satisfaction. As Void Tsujimikado was considered his concubine, Taishi Ci was determined not to shortchange him.

”I will not disappoint the esteemed god’s trust,” Void Tsujimikado replied respectfully.

”Call me husband,” Taishi Ci said somewhat dissatisfiedly. Void Tsujimikado was a bit bewildered; could a mortal become a god’s spouse? Meanwhile, everyone else, regardless of gender, gazed enviously at Void Tsujimikado.
