The kobold priest, or in other words, this is an elemental ritualist. This too was something Du You's doppelganger researched after reaching the seventh tier and gaining more authority in this world.
The reason he did not allow them to cultivate previously was because Du You didn't have a method to control the ritualists. But now it's different, as Du You has developed a method of control and has set to controlling these kobold priests as well.
The stronger they cultivate, the more intensely they are controlled, and they are controlled both through bloodline and soul.
These priests are also different from traditional priests because they use elemental power.
They do not worship ancestors, nor divine spirits, and there's no need for them to worship any hodgepodge of things. Du You directly instructed them to worship the elements and gain power from them, while he, as the god of the kobolds, governs the elements.
