Luck!
This is the power of destiny.
After the Yue clan agreed to submit, a large amount of their fortune was stripped away and absorbed by the Qi God.
No wonder these gods all fight for territory.
So that's what it was for...
Long ago, Shen Qian had already realized the wonderful use of luck. In the eyes of low-level martial artists, it was invisible and intangible, yet it did indeed influence something.
For example, the ancient sayings "turning misfortune into good fortune" or "having good luck" are actually the effects of the power of luck.
Throughout history, all those who have achieved great things, especially those who have established imperial empires, have invariably been people of great fortune.
With his current perspective, Shen Qian has long understood that the so-called "path of humanity" is, in a sense, also a process of cultivating one's destiny.
As the fortune gathered, Qi Shen's aura also rose a bit, and Shen Qian's eyes narrowed.
This Qi Shen... can actually directly devour fortune to enhance his strength!
Or perhaps, this is the path of cultivation for these deities?
That's why they have territorial divisions, and that's why they need to compete with each other for territory.
At the same time, Shen Qian finally glimpsed the opponent's strength during Qi Shen's brief display of aura.
Not even a king or nobleman...
However, it far surpasses the Great Protector of the Spirit Witch Clan.
In other words, the opponent's true realm is very likely between the eighth and ninth levels of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
For a moment, Shen Qian felt a little heavy-hearted.
The strength of this Qi God was not enough to make him despair; it was just that in the division of the territories among the three gods of Mangshan, this Qi God had always been relegated to a remote corner.
If we measure the strength of the three gods by the size of their territories, then Qi Shen is clearly the weakest among them.
The serpent god, who may have already perished, was the strongest among them.
Even the Qi God possesses strength exceeding the eighth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, so even if the Barbarian God and the Serpent God are not kings or nobles, they are probably not far off.
However, when viewed on a larger map, the Three Gods of Mangshan are considered to be of low rank.
Doesn't that mean that... most of the hundreds or thousands of gods are kings and nobles?
"You guys know what's good for you!"
As Chen Qian's thoughts drifted, Qi Shen, whose strength had been enhanced, seemed extremely pleased. He spoke again, "From now on, I will descend once every seven days. Let today be the day of my sacrifice!"
The Yuezhi, who had just been bowing respectfully, changed her expression again. She raised her head and asked, "Once every seven days?"
“Once every seven days,” Qi Shen affirmed.
"But we used to worship the snake god once every three months..."
The Yuezhi argued.
"I said once every seven days, and that means once every seven days," Qi Shen said calmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Respected God Qi, I have no intention of offending you, but such frequent contributions to the tribe's fortune will lead to the destruction of my Great Yue Clan within a year. I beg God Qi to see the truth!"
The Yuezhi took a deep breath and resumed his respectful manner.
"Then you should have more children, and the goddess Nuwa will naturally bestow more fortune upon you."
Qi Shen said indifferently.
"But……"
"No buts. Are you trying to witness my divine power by questioning me so persistently?"
Qi Shen's voice suddenly turned gloomy.
"Seven days later, the Dayue clan will set up an altar to await the arrival of the God Qi."
The Yuezhi bowed their heads and said.
"Alright." Qi Shen nodded in satisfaction. "Each time, there must be three young boys and three young girls on the altar as my food. If there is one less, I will take the lives of ten people in place of him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark clouds above suddenly began to churn, and then a giant hand made entirely of dark clouds reached down and snatched away five children amidst the sorrowful cries of many Yuezhi people.
"On my first arrival, I took one less person as a sign of divine grace!"
Amidst low laughter, the dark cloud's massive hand swept away the five crying children, pulling them back into the darkness.
"ah……"
As if it could no longer contain itself, the Moon Wolf made a move to get up, but was met with the calm yet cold gaze of the Yuezhi who turned his head.
"Do you want the Yuezhi to become extinct today?"
She didn't speak, but her clear eyes conveyed everything.
Moon Wolf's forehead veins bulged, but he finally let go of his clenched fists in despair, a look of extreme pain on his face.
The Yuezhi people remained silent, some grieving, others numb.
Yuejun kept repeating the Great Yuezhi's instructions in her heart, trying her best to suppress her aura, but tears still kept sliding down her cheeks.
If only the snake god were still here...
Just as the child was about to be swallowed by the dark clouds, and the Qi God in the sky began to turn around, a low cry suddenly arose between heaven and earth.
"Hiss..."
That strange roar, which no one but the Yuezhi could understand, brought a look of surprise and delight to many of the older Yuezhi members.
"Snake God!"
"It's Lord Snake God!"
At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly churned, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Qi Shen's usually indifferent face, along with a hint of fear.
The next moment...
boom!
A streak of fire, almost invisible to the naked eye, traversed the sky and struck the dark clouds with tremendous force.
"Serpent God, you're still alive!"
The dark clouds churned, accompanied by a roar filled with anger and panic. They abandoned the five children they were about to capture and fled into the distance at lightning speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
