The divine child selects a new candidate every hundred years.
The Vermilion Bird Temple has ruled the divine land for ten thousand years, and all its divine children combined could form a divine army.
Therefore, this thing has an expiration date; it must be replaced every hundred years, a rule that the temple has never changed.
Those with sufficient cultivation and an excellent reputation can obtain the position of temple elder after stepping down from the position of divine son.
This is a shortcut to becoming a powerful elder, because in the millennia-long history of the Divine Land, there has never been a case of a divine son succeeding the position of the divine lord.
Because that Vermilion Bird God Lord has lived for ten thousand years, and it seems he can live for another ten thousand years.
This led to the concept of the "divine child" becoming a symbol, a symbol of rapid access to the upper echelons of the temple.
But one thing is very strange, because all those who step down from the position of the Son of God eventually become close attendants to the Lord God.
After becoming attendants to the God, these divine children never appeared again.
There has never been an exception in the past ten thousand years.
Some say that the divine child always followed the divine master to cultivate, hoping to reach a higher level of cultivation.
Some say that the divine child cultivated the supreme technique bestowed by the divine lord, but perished during the cultivation due to insufficient talent.
There are many conflicting accounts, and no one knows exactly what happened.
Nevertheless, becoming a child of God is still the most glorious thing, because the child of God has too many privileges.
Once one becomes a divine child, one can read and practice all the forbidden techniques and martial arts within the temple, and the resources needed for cultivation will be provided without limit.
When they travel, they are greeted with the kneeling worship of the people of the land, and even the elders of the temple bow to the divine son.
This is an absolute symbol of status.
Because the son of God is the son of the God, equivalent to the crown prince in a kingdom.
However, there are three crown princes in the Vermilion Bird Temple.
Competition exists even among the divine children; it is not merely a contest of cultivation and talent, but also a battle of intellect and personal charisma.
Cultivation level is certainly the most important factor, but one's conduct and the reputation of those under one's command are also directly related to the future development path of the divine child.
This is why the divine child always acts in a very approachable manner.
Every year, he would hold a three-day sermon and teaching session on the summit of Nanli Mountain outside the Vermilion Bird Divine City.
What he preached was the path of cultivation, and he taught and enlightened the people of the land on behalf of the divine lord.
This time of year is the most lively time in the entire Vermilion Bird Divine Land. Being able to hear the divine son preach and teach is a great honor in itself.
Today is the day that the divine son Que Yue Li will preach and impart knowledge.
Although some audacious thieves had wreaked havoc in the city a few days ago, Divine Child Que Yue Li still chose to hold his sermons and teachings as scheduled.
Such a divine son naturally won the love and admiration of many people in the land.
Mount Nanli is a thousand feet high, and on the platform at its summit stands a high platform, which is where the divine son preaches.
Below the mountain peak, the hillside was filled with the people of the divine land who came to listen to the sermon, many of whom came simply to admire the divine son's appearance.
The divine child could not possibly be someone with a lewd expression and an ugly face; every generation of divine children has been a handsome and otherworldly person.
Looking at the devout expressions on the faces of the crowd below, Que Yueli's lips also curled up slightly.
Among the divine children of their generation, Que Ti was undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of cultivation, talent, intellect, and personal charisma.
This is generally accepted.
No matter how hard Que Yueli tries to cultivate and hone his interpersonal skills, he will always become a mere supporting character in front of Que Ti.
He no longer possessed any divine aura; it was as if all attention would be instantly stripped away in front of Que Ti.
This reality frustrated Que Yueli greatly, yet he was powerless to change it.
Especially after Que Ti entered the battlefield of the boundary, he made many outstanding contributions, and his prestige within the temple reached its zenith.
Some even said privately that the outcome of this year's competition for the title of God Child had already been decided ahead of schedule.
There's no need to wait a hundred years for a decisive battle.
But there's always a way out. Just when Que Yueli thought he had no chance to compete with him anymore...
Que Ti died.
Moreover, it was the most humiliating and disappointing thing that happened: he was captured alive and executed by the enemy.
This news shook the entire Vermilion Bird Divine Land and caused resentment and grief throughout the Vermilion Bird Divine Palace, but for Que Yue Li, it was an excellent opportunity.
Only the strongest among the divine children can obtain a higher elder position, and only the strongest can cultivate alongside the divine lord.
Therefore, Que Yue Li would never let go of such a golden opportunity. With Que Ti dead, Que Sheng, the least noticeable of the three, was no threat at all.
What he didn't know was that Que Ti's identity was revealed by the most inconspicuous Que Sheng.
Que Sheng, whom he considered harmless, had actually conspired with others to set a trap for him today.
As several loud bell tolled, the entire Nanli Mountain fell silent, for it was time for the Divine Child to formally preach and impart his teachings.
Que Yueli's voice was very magnetic, and combined with his powerful cultivation, he could clearly deliver every word to everyone's ears.
He spoke slowly, but his understanding of the existing cultivation methods in the Vermilion Bird Divine Land was extremely thorough.
Many people with low cultivation levels who were stuck at a certain realm closed their eyes and regulated their breathing on the spot, and then broke through the barrier and successfully advanced.
This scene was playing out throughout Nanli Mountain. As he watched those who broke through the barriers because of his preaching, Que Yueli's smile deepened.
Because these people will become his most loyal supporters.
The three days of lecturing and teaching passed in a flash, and by this point, Que Yue Li had basically achieved his goal.
In high spirits, Que Yueli looked up at the sky and then smiled at everyone.
"There is still some time left, so if you have any questions about cultivation, please feel free to ask me. I will do my best to answer them for you."
This is the perfect stage to showcase his approachable side, so how could Que Yueli possibly let it pass by?
There are techniques to allowing people present to ask questions freely.
First, one's cultivation level cannot be too high; second, one must be a follower of the speaker. Only in this way can the sermon and instruction reach its most perfect state.
Que Yueli glanced over and saw a handsome young man in the crowd raising his hand high.
Most importantly, the young man's face was filled with a deep sense of self-admiration.
This is the best candidate.
Que Yueli pointed at the young man and asked with a gentle smile.
"What is your name? What is there that you don't understand?"
The young man was thrilled and quickly squeezed through the crowd to stand less than ten feet away from Que Yueli.
"Replying to the Divine Child, my name is Qin Feng, and there is indeed something I do not understand."
Que Yueli waved his sleeve lightly and spoke slowly again.
“Tell me.”
Qin Feng nodded excitedly upon hearing this, then asked with a slightly shy expression.
"I just wanted to ask a question."
"Is the Divine Child so awesome?"
