Given the many unusual reactions in the God-King Realm, Yang Cheng was almost certain that the other party was after the City Emperor's tablet.
Even Jiang Kai and Sui Wenzhou chose to advance to the patrolling level in Evil Luo Ghost City for this very reason.
Old Master Cui asked in confusion, "But what's the use of this thing? It's just a broken thing, and there's not even a description of how to use it."
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "This small town isn't very big. We've probably explored most of it in the last two days, haven't we?"
There are Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, and even less common temples like the Temple of the Judge of the Court and the Temple of the Kitchen God, but there isn't a single temple dedicated to any deity.
Old Master Cui suddenly awoke with a start: "The City God Temple!?"
"Yes, it's the City God Temple."
The background of this small town should be the Republican era, and the City God Temple can be found in many cities.
Although it can't compare to those large temples in terms of incense offerings, it's definitely not a niche place, and there are quite a few people who come to worship there.
This city has an abnormally large number of temples, but the one thing that is particularly unusual is the lack of the City God Temple.
"For something related to the City Emperor, something that would make the people of the God-King Realm go to such great lengths to find, I can't think of anything other than a divine inheritance."
Old Master Cui was horrified. The idea of divine succession was somewhat distant for him, but according to Yang Cheng's analysis, it was still very likely.
But what Yang Cheng said next surprised Old Master Cui even more.
“Coincidentally, I also have the divine lineage of the City King.”
Old Master Cui was stunned: "How is that possible!? The inheritance of divine authority is extremely rare even for a seven-star level reincarnator."
Even if some people obtain divine inheritance, it might only be the inheritance of a low-level wild god, while the City Emperor's divine office is that of a true god!
There is no lower limit to the strength required to inherit a divine title; you can use it even if you obtain it at the ninth level of the cultivation realm.
The problem is that very few divine inheritances are scattered in the Yellow-level world, so most people are at around the Seven-Star level when they receive a divine inheritance.
Moreover, although Fatty Wang said there are no useless divine successors, only useless reincarnators.
However, there are indeed differences in strength among those who inherit clergy.
Previously, Yang Cheng had looked down on the City Emperor for not being a very strong inheritance, but in reality, the City Emperor was a true god. Although the lower limit was low, the upper limit was extremely high.
The inheritances of celestial soldiers, ghost messengers, and even some low-level wild gods are truly of low minimum and even lower maximum, and are not as useful as some powerful specialized inheritances in the cycle of reincarnation.
"Don't be surprised, it's just an accidental gain of 5% inheritance. Apart from having an extra trump card when being corrupted by evil forces, it's pretty useless."
"If the Divine King's Palace truly intends to seize the City Emperor's inheritance this time, I'd really like to get involved."
Old Master Cui cautiously said, "Brother Yang, if it is as you analyze it, then the City King's inheritance in this Evil Luo Ghost City was specially prepared by King Guangmu Pei Donglai for his disciple Jiang Kai."
If you take it now, wouldn't you be making a mortal enemy of the God-King Realm?
Even if the God-King Realm is concerned about the impact and won't kill you in the main world, the enemy has a large number of people, so it's easy to run into them in the reincarnation world.
"If they team up and attack together, you won't be able to stop them either."
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Now they've all put a bounty on our heads, either alive or dead. They all want us dead anyway, so what's wrong with taking a gamble?"
Even if we hand over this fragment of the City Emperor's tablet to the people of the God King Realm now, do you think they will let us go?
In short, I'm not used to entrusting my life to someone else's decision.
Old man, if you're scared, you can find a place to hide for now. I'll do him a big one tonight.
Once I've drawn enough hatred from them, they'll naturally stop bothering you.
Old Master Cui gritted his teeth and said, "You underestimate me too much. When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky. They want to kill me, how can I just surrender?"
Old Master Cui had always been very cunning and sly, managing to survive through one cycle of reincarnation after another with remarkable steadiness, rarely putting himself in danger.
But being with Yang Cheng at this time, his style of doing things was influenced by Yang Cheng, and he became extremely crazy and radical.
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Alright, even brothers should keep clear accounts. If we can seize the City Emperor's inheritance, I want it."
The City God is the official position, and under him there will certainly be judges such as the Yin-Yang Division and the Swift Reporting Division, as well as secondary divine positions such as the Ox and Horse Generals.
"I'll do everything in my power to get you one of these clerical positions, and then I'll make up the difference for the rest."
Without a second thought, Old Master Cui nodded and said, "Young Master Yang is so generous! Deal!"
Divine inheritance is incredibly precious. Even brothers might turn against each other in the face of something like this, let alone teammates like them who have only teamed up once.
Old Master Cui had lived most of his life. When he was young, he dreamed of becoming a high-ranking Taoist priest in the Celestial Master's Mansion, but he had no connections or abilities. In the end, he just made do in a small Taoist temple, telling fortunes and consulting feng shui.
Therefore, he is very self-aware, knows his own worth, and does only what he is capable of.
Without Yang Cheng, he could at most survive seven days in the Evil Luo Ghost City, and completing the patrolman assessment should not have been a problem.
But he definitely won't get a share of things like the Ghost Market or the Cleric's Succession.
However, even without him, Yang Cheng can still compete with Jiang Kai, Sui Wenzhou, and others for the divine position, and it is still uncertain who will ultimately inherit it.
Therefore, Yang Cheng's proposed distribution plan did not treat him unfairly. Even though it was not a legitimate divine inheritance, it was still a great gain for Old Daoist Cui.
"So the question now is, where is the City God Temple? The whole town is only so big, and we've searched pretty much everywhere we could."
