The man was indeed a know-it-all in the divine realm; An Ge obtained a lot of information from him.
For example, the divine realm has a dedicated enforcement team that forbids street fights and the misuse of divine power. However, rules are rules, and when it comes to enforcement, powerful gods and immortal lords don't care much. As long as things aren't too outrageous, the enforcement team will turn a blind eye.
In the realm of gods, it's better to offend a powerful celestial lord than an unknown deity. At least you can defend yourself when the former attacks, but you never know when the latter will strike. If you're bullied by a celestial lord, you have no evidence to report it to the enforcement team.
However, there are also powerful immortal lords who are not afraid of divine lords. These immortal lords have extremely high talents and are no longer in the category of ordinary immortal lords. For example, the cold-faced immortal lord, a rising star in the divine realm, is said to have gained a place in the alliance in just twenty years.
Of course, not all deities possess formidable abilities; that partly depends on luck. However, given that luck is such an elusive element even in the divine realm, most deities are unwilling to attempt it.
Compared to the relationship between immortal lords and deities, the relationship between immortal lords is much more harmonious. Even if there are some minor conflicts, they will not use their immortal power, but will mostly let the law enforcement team mediate or judge.
An Ge guessed that while celestial lords could command the wind and rain in the mortal realm, once they reached the divine realm, everyone became a celestial lord, making them seem quite ordinary. After all, even the young man selling herbal tea on the street was a celestial lord.
She was young because, once in the divine realm, most deities, except for those with eccentric tempers, would revert to their youthful state. She hadn't seen a single elderly person along her journey.
The man was somewhat surprised to learn that An Ge wanted to open a shop. However, some veteran immortal lords, wanting their descendants to have a good life, would prepare certain things for them as soon as they arrived in the Divine Realm, and then deliver these things to the newcomers through special means.
However, it's rare to see someone offer a land deed as a gift. The man looked at An Ge with envy and became even more enthusiastic, talking at length about opening the shop.
After listening to the man's explanation, An Ge learned that in the Divine Realm, shops with special markings were significantly more expensive than ordinary shops, but the experience was also exceptional. However, not all special shops provided a good experience for customers; some shops run by deities with certain business attributes offered poor service and were not as good as shops run by ordinary deities.
"If it's not a shop that comes with its own property, it'll be a bit troublesome. You'll need to take the land deed to the Alliance office to register it, and then find a construction team or a deity with building attributes to build the house. However, these shops can't have a unique style like those that come with their own property; they have to be in the same style as those."
Pointing to a row of ancient-looking buildings in the distance, he continued, "We are the Eastern Divine Realm, so the style should naturally follow Eastern aesthetics. If your connections are strong enough, you can also choose buildings from smaller planes that are more developed. Of course, if it's a deity, you can't force them to change their style, can you?"
An Ge was speechless. She hadn't expected that the Divine Realm would also adopt the Eastern and Western system. This culture was somewhat similar to the small world she had lived in before.
"Aren't there any Western deities running shops here?"
"Most of the Western gods are concentrated in Lister City, which is quite far from here. Their lifestyle is different from ours, and they generally don't come to the Eastern Divine Realm. Moreover, the gods there are all quite arrogant, with titles like Goddess of Nature, God of Death, God of Forging, and that former traitor of the Divine Realm, the God of Darkness. Just hearing these titles tells you how arrogant the gods there are."
It sounded like the two gods weren't getting along, so An Ge, who had originally wanted to ask about the God of Darkness, wisely kept quiet.
After talking for a while, the man finally said enthusiastically, "Since your elders gave you the land deed, they must have told you about it. Take it out and take a look; there are special markings on it."
An Ge looked at the man with a bright smile and said, "I'll only take it after you leave. I wouldn't dare take out something so important in front of you."
The man's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
"Of course, I'm afraid you'll steal my land deed."
The man looked furious. "This is an insult to me, an immortal lord. I kindly explained the rules to you, and you think this way of me? You deserve no reward for your kindness."
An Ge sneered, "Why don't we go to the Alliance Enforcement Team and have a good chat? Didn't you say you'd go to the enforcement team if there were any disputes? If I've wronged you, I might be able to compensate you a lot of money. Anyway, I have elders protecting me, so compensating you wouldn't be a problem."
"No, no need. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll forgive you. I suddenly remembered I have something to do. Give me the referral fee and our deal is over," the man said generously.
An Ge tossed him a high-grade spiritual artifact. "Don't even think about taking your time picking one out like that bookseller. This is the only one. Take it or leave it." Seeing the man's dissatisfaction, she continued, "Or how about we go to the law enforcement team to mediate?"
The man was furious. He shouldn't have introduced the law enforcement team in such detail. Look, it hasn't been long, and this newcomer is already talking about the law enforcement team all the time.
However, since the other party saw through his purpose and still gave him something, he felt a little favorably towards them. Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to be planning to pursue the matter any further, so he didn't need to go to the palace anymore.
"I'm a little curious, how did you figure out my identity when you just arrived in the Divine Realm?"
An Ge's eyes held a hint of nostalgia. "Because I have a good memory."
The man was puzzled, but seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, he wisely stopped asking. He had just offended the other party, and although he was a celestial lord with a long divine life, he wasn't very strong. If a conflict really broke out, he would be the one to suffer.
"My nickname is 'Master Thief'," the man said, giving An Ge a deep look before leaving.
An Ge smiled upon hearing the other person's address, and couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate. When she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, there was a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth, and a fleeting scene flashed by, showing a scene of catching a thief.
Coincidentally, the thief inside looked exactly like the man. So when the man offered to be her matchmaker, she noticed the disdainful look in the eyes of the waiter beside her. This look was definitely not directed at her, and recalling what she had seen earlier, she knew that the man was up to no good.
However, since I was new to the Divine Realm, there were indeed many things I didn't know. Since there was labor offered to me, I might as well take advantage of it. The other party was indeed very dedicated, saving me from many detours.
Seeing how hard he had worked, An Ge gave him a high-grade spiritual artifact. After learning about some things in the Divine Realm, she also knew that high-grade spiritual artifacts from the lower realms weren't entirely without a market in the Divine Realm. Giving him that one was enough to make up for his introduction.
An Ge was unaware that her casual action had created a positive connection.
