Jia Xitong's original intention was to fabricate a reason that would convince them.
However, the more these people listened, the more engrossed they became. Even the new patriarch of the Merfolk, the adults of the Tuohai Clan, and Huo Rui were among them, listening to Jia Xitong's stories of the gods.
wrong
Not only these people, but also the temple servants surrounding them.
It's quite a coincidence.
Jia Xitong not only knew these background stories of the prehistoric world, but also knew some things about the dragon race and the five great gods.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, the human race was in decline, and the dragon race reigned supreme. Five genius cultivators from among the human race went to the Dragon Palace seeking the protection of the dragon race. In the Magpie Mountain Range, they received the blessings of heaven and earth and obtained the opportunity to become gods..."
She began to recount how the dragon race perished and how the human race was revived.
Wasn't this all to increase the number of followers for her talisman master? She specifically brought up the name Hu Zhongping in detail. She talked about his relationship with the dragon clan (which was far-fetched), his powerful strength, noble cultivation, and heroic deeds.
Although there are some exaggerations, it is about 60% true.
Telling stories is more useful than teaching people how to draw talismans!
Jia Xitong never expected that her accidental encounter, after only two days of telling stories, would lead to the "thousand" characters appearing on the Bo Tong's edict.
She once worked diligently as a teacher, imparting knowledge and resolving doubts, yet it was all less effective than making up a story.
As the saying goes, deep affection is hard to retain, but clever tactics win people's hearts.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, could you please write down all the stories I've told these past few days?"
Jia Xitong has prepared a new story; she's ready to make a strong showing today and take down the rest of them.
In the future, more copies of this story can be published and spread throughout the Aotian Continent, allowing us to earn followers effortlessly.
She had a beautiful dream.
But something unusual happened today.
Just as Jia Xitong sat down with the chipped water glass in her hand, before she could even warm her bottom, a crane with a pure white body and a red crest on its head suddenly appeared on the horizon.
The crane attacked her directly.
Logically speaking, Jia Xitong, at the level of a Talisman King, should be able to handle a mere magical beast.
However, just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly felt a powerful force, and there sat a red-robed divine servant at the Martial Saint realm.
We definitely can't win a fight.
Just as Jia Xitong tried to resist, she was suddenly grabbed by the other party.
"Small bucket!"
"Slim bucket!!"
The people below chased after her in a panic, but she could only watch helplessly as they grew smaller and smaller.
##
Shock! I was captured by a group of divine servants because I told such a good story.
That's right, that's how they got caught.
When Jia Xitong was first captured, she had already considered several possibilities on the way the red-robed divine servant flew away, but she had not thought of this one.
It's unbelievable.
She was currently sitting in the middle of four red-robed divine attendants, surrounded by a group of divine attendants at the Martial Emperor and Martial King levels.
They captured her just to hear stories of gods, and because they were dissatisfied with Jia Xitong's constant stories about the God of Talismans on the coast, they specifically captured her to tell the story of the God of War.
This is... something I never expected.
Looking at the red-robed divine servants in front of her, Jia Xitong knew she couldn't defeat them, so she could only submit to their demands in humiliation.
Which part would you like to hear?
"Let's start with the birth of the God of War."
These divine servants have a deep love for the God of War. It's clear that if she were to try and smear him now, she would be executed. Jia Xitong decided to pick out things that would please them.
"The origins of the Five Great Gods are actually quite unfortunate."
Jia Xitong began to fabricate a story.
"In the beginning of time, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth became the five natural elements. The five great deities were born from these elements. The God of Weapons is metal, the God of Medicine is wood, the God of Talismans is water, the God of War is fire, and the God of Arrays is earth. These five deities, born under the creation of heaven and earth, are like brothers from birth, carrying the destiny of humanity..."
Why is the God of War associated with fire?
At this moment, a divine servant inquired.
Because I see you burning with anger.
"Because fire can temper everything, and the God of War is the strongest."
The attendants below nodded slightly after hearing this, clearly satisfied with the explanation.
Jia Xitong was under immense pressure and thought of many plot points. She even selflessly dedicated the glorious and righteous storyline she had designed for her master, the God of Talismans, to the God of War.
Although these attendants listened with rapt attention, they were not so easily fooled.
"Since the God of War is already so outstanding and perfect, and treats the other four gods like brothers, why did the other four gods break with the God of War in the end? And become enemies with him?"
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
The whole affair of the five great mages falling out at the end is common knowledge.
This is where Jia Xitong got her question.
What else could cause a complete breakup?
Issues of interests, beliefs, and emotions?
Jia Xitong's mind raced; she had to come up with a reason today. Looking at the divine servants before her, a choice suddenly came to her: "Because of you."
"us?"
The attendants looked at each other, their first reaction being that it was a lie.
When the five great mages fell out, none of the people here were even born yet.
"Believers, you know."
Jia Xitong wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, he pretended to be high-spirited and asked, "What is a god?"
The god who had been guarding the statue of the God of War for many years thought, "The God of War is a god."
See how shallow that is?
"The God of War is a god, but you do not understand gods. Gods were originally human, and they cultivated themselves step by step. However, everyone knows that the difference between a Martial Saint and a god is only one step, but it is the difference between a firefly and a star."
Why?
Because they never transcended the realm of humanity, they were not guided by faith.
Jia Xitong rose from the futon she was sitting on, raising her hands. "Countless living beings struggle to survive with their insignificant strength. Yet, within the body of an ant lies the power that makes a firefly a star."
When one's cultivation reaches its peak, the body can no longer increase its strength.
The greater breakthroughs lie in spirit and faith.
The final step to becoming a god is being recognized by all living beings.
The origin of believers.
Jia Xitong originally went there to tell a story, but suddenly felt that she had grasped something important.
An opportunity!
The opportunity to become a god!
This explains why the Master of the Talisman God asked her to help develop followers, and why the God of War built a temple. In the original story, Xiao Shang became a god by killing all living beings. In reality, there are also those who aspire to become gods, such as Wan Zhi, who also commits murder. When there are no followers, fear and despair become another form of faith, turning them into demon gods.
Two ways to become a god.
The secrets hidden within these deities, never revealed to the world!
A wave of emotion surged through Jia Xitong's heart, and after realizing what had happened, she wanted to slap herself twice.
Why did she say that so quickly? These divine servants heard her!!
