The time required to start this deification ritual is not long, but it is also not short.

However, no name appeared on the List of Gods. The Taoist was relaxed and felt that there could be no problem with the ritual. The reason why it was so slow was probably because the world was vast after all. Although the power of the formation was mysterious, it was not easy to penetrate every part of it. It took time.

Now that I have gained something, I am not in a hurry, because the old cow outside is calling me to eat.

Qi Wuhuo didn't pay any attention to this matter, as if it was not a big deal.

When he came out, he saw Mingxin still deep in thought, so he reached out and patted the little Taoist Mingxin on the head.

The young Taoist priest was startled.

Qi Wuhuo sat next to him and said gently:

"So, your friends aren't the same anymore than they were when you first met them. What do you do?"

The young Taoist thought for a moment and said, "I'm thinking of doing something..."

"Maybe it's just changed, just like what you said, Master, people will always change. As long as the original heart is still there, no matter how the outside changes, it's just external, just like a person wearing clothes. No matter how many clothes he changes, he is still the same person."

"Identity and status are just outer clothes. I am who I am."

Qi Wuhuo nodded.

Dinner was cooked by Lao Qingniu.

It's quite hearty, but there's no beef.

The fact that Taoist disciples do not eat beef is somewhat related to the existence of this old blue ox.

After the meal, the young Taoist Mingxin packed up his things and left. It was getting dark earlier and people were in a hurry to avoid the cold. Qi Wuhuo lowered his eyes slightly, and his mind had risen to the sky. If the Qi Refiners still had the courage to open their eyes and look at the Taoist in the sky, they would find

The Taoist who had originally closed his eyes, now slowly opened his golden eyes a little.

Qi Wuhuo's gaze fell on the supplementary volume of the Heavenly Book.

I saw that name——[Cheng Shuisheng].

Shuisheng, this is a very standard name for people from Jiuzhou. Qi Wuhuo sensed the magic weapon in his hand slightly and his finger gently fell on the name. The name caused ripples to appear and pictures appeared in front of Qi Wuhuo's eyes, which were the life of this Cheng Shuisheng.

He was a brave and strong boy with great brute strength. He once slept in a haunted building at night and refused to listen to the people's advice.

There was a beautiful female ghost at night, but I scolded her three times and she went away.

People could only hear the sound of knives. The next day, a fox and a weasel were found dead at the door. Everyone was shocked and saw his brows were raised, and no one could look up.

At the age of eighteen, he joined the army because of his bravery.

Once fought against other countries.

He spent eighteen years of his life at the border fighting against the invasion of the Demon King of that time. Later, in a battle, he rushed into the demon clan's territory alone to conduct guerrilla warfare, killing dozens of enemies and breaking one of their arms, without separating the flesh and bones. He then drew his sword and killed the enemies himself, saving the people at the border who had been captured. He was promoted to a captain for his meritorious service and was in charge of logistics.

Later, he had a dispute with his superior, who whipped him. He resigned and returned to his own village. He had no wife or children. He spent all his family wealth to build roads and bridges and set up a private school. When he was 81 years old, on his way back to his hometown, he killed a wild wolf with one arm. He was overjoyed when he heard that the mighty King Li Zhai was leading his army to whip the world.

Later, he heard a storyteller telling about the great victory of the human and demon races, and heard the name of the army he had served in.

He laughed three times and then died suddenly.

He has achievements and the luck of humanity. Although he cannot bear enough luck of incense, he is qualified to be listed at the end of this list. Only then did Qi Wuhuo realize that when he set up this list at the beginning, he was comparing it with the gods and immortals, but the luck of humanity is magnificent, with such a vast area and so many heroes.

There are definitely quite a few people who meet the requirements of the List of Gods but lack the spiritual power and luck to be comparable to the immortals and gods in heaven.

It was only at this time that Qi Wuhuo seriously thought about how such a great man could be deified.

The Taoist withdrew his consciousness.

Qi Wuhuo thought for a while, then returned to the quiet room, took out a piece of paper and pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on it: "From the Queen Mother Hou Tu Huang Di Ji."

"I sent a message earlier. Queen Wa knew of your good intentions and agreed to meet with Queen Hou Tu someday."

During this period, Qi Wuhuo wrote letters to Hou Tu Huang Di Niangniang almost every month.

Not to mention that the Empress basically treated this Taoist as her own junior.

Just to say that the relationship between Hou Tu Niangniang and Wa Huang Niangniang is very good. They have been good friends since ancient times. Knowing that Wa Huang Niangniang has partially recovered and can appear on earth for a period of time every day in the form of an incarnation, they are naturally very happy. They have already been here several times in the form of an incarnation.

Because of the duty of the Queen Mother Houtian to regulate and suppress the earth veins, she could not often come to the human world where the luck was strong but fragile. So before she left last time, she repeatedly instructed this Taoist to write to her frequently to inform her of the news about the Queen Nuwa.

Qi Wuhuo exchanged a few pleasantries, then wrote a letter and raised his own questions. He mentioned the plan of deifying the gods in the human world to Hou Tu Niangniang, and then asked: "Niangniang, I had considered before that the incense and god positions in the human world should be set similar to the god positions in heaven, but the human world is vast, the years are long, and there are endless heroes. Even a small place can have heroes."

“Although there are many seats in heaven, there are some that are not suitable, and these heroes on earth are all attached to their homeland.”

"I want to ask the goddess, can the destiny of humanity be connected to the law of earth veins? In addition to the mountain gods, water gods and conventional earth gods, is there a 'land god' who regulates the affairs of the people in villages and towns? According to the sayings of the human world, it may be the 'land god' or the 'land goddess'..."

"I'm afraid the method of conferring titles is different from that of the gods. I don't know much about it, and I'm worried that if I use the method of conferring titles from the gods, there will be more problems."

"Please give me some advice, Madam."

Qi Wuhuo put down his pen and then tapped the table gently, whereupon a small medicine spirit appeared and helped the young Taoist to send the letter. Qi Wuhuo's current incarnation was in harmony with the destiny of the human world, so it was not easy for him to escape underground. He was of the wood element and had the guidance of the small medicine spirit from Hou Tu Huang Di Niangniang, so he could escape underground very quickly.

Young Taoists sometimes feel that.

If this little medicine spirit has another adventure or sudden enlightenment in the future, he may be able to master the art of escaping underground.

It would be really incredible.

Even if there is someone who can travel at a speed of 108,000 miles.

As long as you are still on this earth.

I’m afraid it will be intercepted by this little medicine spirit.

The little medicine spirit took a bite of a fruit, jumped backwards holding the letter, landed on the ground, and disappeared silently.

Qi Wuhuo thought about it and wrote another letter.

This letter was from the underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell. This letter was written more like a conversation. He first apologized politely, saying that he had left behind a soul, and then concealed the truth about the Conferred God event, and asked the underworld if they could join forces to build more City God temples in the human world, instead of just having the City God temples in the prefectures of large states as in the past.

Now the human world is cut off from the heavenly world.

Although he had the opportunity and time, he also lacked the natural assistance of the Thunder Department's thunder to ward off evil spirits and the stars to suppress evil. During this period of time, Qi Wuhuo had already vaguely sensed the changes in yin and yang. He didn't know yet whether it was a natural change or the result of such rapid changes caused by the actions of forces in the heavens, such as the Tianshu Academy, who were dissatisfied with the human world.

The changes of Qi circulate through the six realms.

Immortals and gods are not allowed to enter the human world for the time being.

However, it is inevitable that with their magical powers, they can influence the flow of Qi and thus subtly influence the human world.

Qi Wuhuo didn't think that he could rest easy just by relying on a formation.

After doing these two things, the Taoist's consciousness came into contact with the consciousness of Cheng Shuisheng, who died with a loud laugh. He had no resentment and even felt that he was satisfied with his life and it was time to leave. The only thing he couldn't let go of was his hometown where he was born, raised and buried.

He just lay there for a long time, but there was no sign of the legendary ghost coming to lock him up. When he was puzzled, he heard a voice calling, "Old sir, old sir?"

Cheng Shuisheng opened his eyes suddenly, but did not see the underworld that was said to scare children.

Instead, he saw a Taoist sitting cross-legged in the sky.

The old man asked suspiciously, "Who are you? I am not dead, old man?"

The Taoist replied, "He has indeed died of old age."

"Hmm? After death, shouldn't we go to the netherworld?"

"That's right, but I do have another option to ask you..."

The Taoist smiled, used his magical powers, gained the old man's trust, and then asked him if he would be willing to transform into a [god] to protect his hometown. The old man was surprised at first, but then agreed without hesitation, and then asked curiously: "What kind of god?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "It's not a good position actually."

"It's just to continue to protect the good weather and good harvests on earth."

"You won't have any chance to abuse your power. People will only offer you incense and fruits, and you won't live too long. When people forget about you, the incense will be gone, and your body of luck will disappear. At that time, you may return to reincarnation again."

"The only benefit is..."

Qi Wuhuo paused and said, "Perhaps, I can only let you see the human world for another one or two hundred years."

This old man who had fought all over the world couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"ah?"

"Hahaha, being able to see a peaceful world for another one or two hundred years, isn't this the greatest reward?"

"I've fought all over the world, killed people until the blade of my sword was bent, isn't it just to see these people live a good life? Before, I thought that only a dozen years was too short, but now it seems that I suddenly have an extra one or two hundred years. Hahahaha, it's not a loss, it's not a loss!"

"But, Taoist Priest, what position will this so-called [God] be given?"

"What position..."

Qi Wuhuo paused and replied, "I'm still waiting too."

Either it is a small piece of land, or it is a messenger from the underworld.

If that doesn't work, then you have to be the guardian of the world.

This world is vast, and only those who appear once in a thousand years are worthy of being deified.

It is true, beyond expectations.

And while waiting, a number of names suddenly appeared on the List of Gods.

It's all similar situations.

It was probably because before, the ritual of conferring the gods was still trying to combine with the destiny of the human world, just like the buildup of strength before a move in a battle, but now that the strength was ready, it naturally captured all the souls that met the minimum requirements of the List of Conferred Gods in one go and included them on the list.

Many of them are similar to that old man. They may be generals who protected a region during their lifetime, or teachers who taught many disciples. There are also old men who saved many people in years of disaster but lived in poverty themselves.

There are people who work hard, people who work desperately, people who plead for the people, and people who sacrifice themselves for the law.

The list of gods is brilliant.

The names are densely packed together, and each person's experience is a legend, with a shining touch of humanity. Although they do not have the power of immortals or gods, they have all lived a life without regrets.

This is just the beginning.

Qi Wuhuo was moved and sighed.

Although at the beginning, it was felt that those who had made contributions to the world and done good things for the human race were considered to be the threshold for entry into the list, there should be quite a few of them.

But I never thought there would be so many people.

I have no regrets in this life, and I deserve to be on the list along the way.

The Taoist suddenly felt that when he held this list and ascended to the Heavenly Palace again, Zhang Xiaoyu would probably be outshone.

Even though it hasn't been conferred yet, the [Ghost Qi] in the body has already sensed something and is becoming extremely excited.

It was just that at this moment, the Taoist suddenly saw several names appear at once. They were all fierce generals in the army. Looking at their experiences, they all joined the army since childhood, had confronted the demon tribe, participated in several previous catastrophes, and some were even members of the Black Armor Army.

"He joined the army when he was young and was very brave. During the Jinzhou disaster, he turned back and led his troops to travel thousands of miles to fight against the demon tribe... He followed King Weiwu to attack Qiulong Kingdom and died in battle under the Taoist Xuantong."

"When I was young, I traveled around the country and became a knight-errant. I was impressed by Li Zhai..."

"I followed King Weiwu to attack Qiu Longguo and died in battle under the Taoist Xuantong!"

"He studied when he was young, but later gave up literature and turned to martial arts... He followed King Weiwu to attack the Qiulong Kingdom, and died in battle under the Taoist Xuantong."

The names of the brave generals in the army were all those who had fought for the country and for the human race against the demon race. However, their experience was finally cut off when they followed the mighty king to the battle. Qi Wuhuo was slightly startled and frowned:

What happened to the mighty king?

Qiu Longguo...

That was the place where Yu Yangzi, the senior brother who had been expelled from the sect by the teacher, was.

…

The letter that Qi Wuhuo had previously written to the underworld was burned using a special method, and turned into a wisp of green smoke that drifted into the underworld. This matter did not belong to the True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu, whom Qi Wuhuo was familiar with, but fell into the hands of another True Lord Tai Su Miao Guang.

He flipped through the letter from the Taoist priest and paused.

I could indeed feel the Taoist's sincerity, and I knew that what he said was actually a good thing for the human world. Building city god temples in the underworld was also a win-win situation for the underworld, which was unable to take care of the ghosts of the six realms at the moment and had to rely on the Yin De system.

All you need to do is agree and nod.

But his gaze shifted and he subconsciously looked at the jade slip next to him.

This jade slip comes from heaven.
