The statue whispered in his ear, "Do as I say, and you will live forever."

Jiang Han immediately agreed upon hearing this.

The statue has three requirements: to have many children, to build a shrine on the mountainside, and to ensure the souls of future generations.

He decided to have children first, and then order his children to fulfill the remaining two requests.

Let's get right to it.

Jiang Han used ten thousand taels of gold to marry eighteen wives and worked hard every day.

She hadn't had a single child in three years.

Due to excessive indulgence, he could no longer have sexual intercourse.

Jiang Han was furious.

what to do?

If you don't have children, create them.

Jiang Han abducted the neighbor's son, raised him as his own, and married him eighteen wives.

Give birth! Give birth to one for me!!

The deity was very satisfied and appointed him as the first divine messenger, secretly giving him control over the Jiang family.

Jiang Han's eyes were bloodshot. "Over the years, every move of the Jiang family has been under my control. You can't escape."

"As long as the idol remains, I will never die."

Lin Xi remained calm and tossed out a Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

"Ahhh!!" Jiang Han trembled incessantly, his soul seemed to have faded considerably, as if it were about to shatter in the next second.

Lin Xi scoffed, "You treat the Jiang family as pawns, and the idol treats you as a pawn."

I'll make your soul vanish into nothingness!

Jiang Han didn't want to die, so he shouted, "Don't you want to know the secret of the idol?"

"Let me go, and I'll tell you."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's not important."

"Whether it's the idol or you, you'll both eventually die!"

Jiang Han was truly frightened. "I'll talk!"

"There is a mysterious airflow beneath the ancestral hall, which ghosts and evil spirits cannot directly approach, but pure children can get close."

"The idols, under the guise of bestowing blessings, observe the children's constitution... using their bodies as conduits to gradually absorb the mystical energy and strengthen their own power."

"The soul is trapped because of the backlash. This place does not belong to the Jiang family, nor to the statue. Every time a certain amount of energy is absorbed, the sky turns red."

The other divine messengers were utterly shocked. "How is this possible?!"

They always believed that the statues were magical artifacts left by their ancestors, and that as long as they obeyed the commands of the statues, they could live forever.

Each head of the Jiang family lives to at least eighty years old, and after death becomes a divine messenger, living on forever.

In the end, it was all a scam.

The Jiang family was completely exploited; the children transported the dragon's energy, the adults created wealth, and their souls suffered the backlash.

Jiang Han struggled violently, "I've finished speaking. The statue is the real culprit. I had no choice but to do it."

"I will die if I fail to fulfill the idol's demands."

Nobody wants to die. Do you want to die?

"The idol isn't a benevolent god, it... uh!"

Jiang Han spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes bulging out.

In an instant, his soul shattered.
