"It will probably take about a day."
After assessing the condition of Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu, Hongmeng nodded with satisfaction.
「One day later.」
He would possess a legendary hero, Wang Yuyan, comparable to a Superior God, and a famed hero, Ah Zhu, comparable to an Intermediate God. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a month for heroes like them to complete their reincarnation. However, because of Hongmeng's infinite multiplication talent, they were directly promoted to the level of Superior and Intermediate Gods. Their stroll through the Reincarnation Pool was merely to wash their divine souls and bodies, and to imprint them with Hongmeng's mark. Therefore, the time consumed was greatly reduced.
After reviewing the two heroes, Hongmeng continued to tally up his gains.
Gold, silver, and jewels had multiplied into Divine Gold and Mysterious Silver, exceedingly valuable. But they are of little use to me now. The five grains – rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, and beans – had multiplied into Divine Valley, which is not too bad.
Hongmeng casually threw them, planting them in a piece of divine farmland.
Once Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu awaken, I will have them cultivate the land. Although I am now a Divine Spirit, having just crossed over, my worldly desires still need to be fulfilled. I am not a god without desires. I am just a person who possesses Divine Power, emotions, and desires. Moreover, consuming the crops from Divine Valley can enhance Divine Power and increase cultivation level. Although the improvement is small, it is beneficial and harmless, with the advantage being in its long-term utility.
These pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, and the like can also be slaughtered for meat.
Hongmeng looked towards the Divine Beasts frolicking happily within his one-billion-li God's kingdom, suddenly craving some meat.
However, I'm too lazy to move; I'll wait for Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu to wake up and handle it.
In the one-billion-li God's kingdom, aside from him, the newly sacrificed Divine Beasts, and the two beauties, there were no other living beings. Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to manage these Divine Beasts.
Let them run around as they please.
Finally, Hongmeng's Divine Sense turned to the holy halo behind his head. This Martial Arts Civilization Aura is quite good. Hundredfold comprehension, hundredfold combat power, invulnerable to all evil, all laws are from the heart. It's level one now, but as the level rises, the effects will surely be even more significant. Moreover, if there's a Martial Arts Civilization Aura, then perhaps there's also a Technology Civilization Light Ring, an Immortal Civilization Aura, a Buddhist Civilization Aura...
The more Hongmeng thought, the more he felt there was great potential. The Myriad of Realms Chat Group connects the Myriad of Realms, linking different civilizations. His ideas were likely to become reality. This filled him with anticipation.
After tallying up his gains, Hongmeng's consciousness delved into the chat group:
Huashan Sect Master: "Young Master Murong, how were you able to determine so quickly that your cousin and maid are either Daughters of Destiny or Girls of Great Fortune?"
Yue Buqun's heart was filled with mixed emotions; he was already prepared to sacrifice. But looking at the altar with only the simple offering of three animals and five grains, and then at the rich sacrifices in the chat group from Murong Fu... Without comparison, there is no true measure of worth. He really had nothing substantial to offer. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to make a sacrifice.
The Lord of Great Qin: "Curious +1."
Soul Hall Saint Girl: "You should treat the future video that Young Master Murong sent as a story. In it, Xiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu are clearly heaven's favorites, Sons of Destiny. So, the people related to them are naturally Daughters of Destiny or Girls of Great Fortune."
Bibi Dong also saw her own future and was deeply moved by it.
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "I see, so it's like that. Now I understand. Does this mean Murong Fu is the major villain of their world? No, the minor villain?"
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Bibi Dong, that would mean you're the major villain in your world and must also possess great fortune. If you sacrifice yourself, wouldn't you ascend to the heavens and become an immortal or god?"
Bibi Dong: "The grace of the Upper God is as vast as the sea. I vow to serve the Upper God for this life. But before that, I wish to spread the glory of the Upper God throughout the world, and then ascend to serve the Upper God."
Huashan Sect Master: "Envy and admiration!"
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Envy and admiration!"
The Lord of Great Qin: "Envy and admiration!"
Huashan Sect Master: "How should someone like me, a humble believer who hasn't received God's Revelation or seen the future, go about finding a Daughter of Destiny?"
Yue Buqun was troubled. Murong Fu had made such a grand gesture, and he couldn't be too shabby in comparison. What if the Upper God thought he was stingy and insincere, and decided to make life difficult for him? Wouldn't that be disastrous?
Dominator of the Underworld Association: "I think that renowned ladies of exceptional appearance and ability, with high status and fame, even if they aren't Daughters of Destiny, must be Girls of Great Fortune."
The Lord of Great Qin: "Leader Xiong speaks the truth. If they have great fortune or are destined, they most certainly won't be average; they must have something special about them."
...
「Huashan Sect, Remorse Cliff.」
In front of an altar built of earth and stone, a dignified and elegant woman with a touch of heroic spirit pushed the absent-minded Yue Buqun.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, let's pause the sacrifice for now."
Yue Buqun came back to his senses, looking at his beautiful and intelligent wife, Ning Zhongze.
If she were twenty years younger, even if she weren't a Daughter of Destiny, she would certainly be a Girl of Great Fortune.
As this thought crossed his mind, Yue Buqun was struck with an idea. Sister is already married and may not be qualified to serve the Upper God. But Shan'er has inherited Sister's beauty, and as the daughter of the Head of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, even if she isn't a Daughter of Destiny, she must have great fortune, right?
No sooner had the thought appeared than it took root, firmly latching onto Yue Buqun's heart, incessant and indelible.
If Murong Fu can offer his cousin as a sacrifice, why can't I offer my daughter? If Shan'er could ascend to heaven to serve the Upper God, not only would she achieve immortality in a single step, but I would also have someone on the inside in heaven, wouldn't I?
As the saying goes, having connections makes things easier. Yue Buqun was instantly tempted.
"Brother, what's happening to you?"
Seeing Yue Buqun alternating between frowning and excitement, his face a mask of changing emotions, Ning Zhongze's eyes carried a worried look as she asked with concern, "Brother, are you alright?"
Could it be that Brother has been under too much pressure recently and has suffered a Qi deviation, losing his mind? He suddenly wanted to sacrifice to the Upper God, and now that the altar and sacrifices are all prepared, he wants to stop? What is he doing?
"Sister, pray with me once, and you'll understand," Yue Buqun said, looking at Ning Zhongze. Previously, he had doubts and did not let Ning Zhongze pray. Now, if he wanted to convince Ning Zhongze, he had to make her believe in the Upper God.
"Okay."
Ning Zhongze nodded slightly. I'll see what exactly he's up to.
「After a while.」
Having finished her prayer, Ning Zhongze locked eyes with Yue Buqun, both filled with excitement and agitation.
There really are gods in this world!
Her voice trembled, "S... Brother, did you see it too?"
"Mm."
Yue Buqun nodded seriously and said, "I became lost in thought just now because I saw a believer in another world, Murong Fu, making a sacrifice to the Upper God. His world is similar to ours, but their martial cultivation levels are much higher than ours, with Grandmaster Warriors existing there. He offered a large number of Martial Arts Secret Books to the Upper God, as well as one Daughter of Destiny and one Girl of Great Fortune! After the two were sacrificed, their cultivation levels skyrocketed, they ascended in broad daylight, and their strengths reached levels we can hardly imagine. Eventually, they ascended to God's kingdom, serving the Upper God, achieving immortality, and enjoying eternity. Murong Fu then received a Thousand Years Power and the Swordsmanship Godsend, and the mother of the Daughter of Destiny received a Hundred Years Power, her youth preserved indefinitely..."
Before Yue Buqun could finish, Ning Zhongze's excited face darkened. She interrupted him, questioning, "Are you planning to offer Shan'er as a sacrifice to the Upper God?"
"Sister, I'm doing this for Shan'er's own good!"
"A mortal's life is fleeting, lasting but a few decades, ultimately beauty fades to withered bones."
Yue Buqun grasped Ning Zhongze's soft hand, passionately saying, "Who in this world of men could compare to the great God of Hongmeng? This is an incredible opportunity for Shan'er. Sister, haven't you noticed your cultivation level has broken through to the Innate realm? The Upper God is a god of kindness and virtue; Shan'er is sure not to suffer if she ascends to God's kingdom."
Hmm? Have I really reached the Innate realm?
Only then did Ning Zhongze realize her cultivation level had broken through. Her cultivation level was originally similar to Yue Buqun's, about the seventh level of Houtian.
"Just praying has brought us such divine grace. Doesn't this show the Upper God's generosity and kindness?" Yue Buqun struck while the iron was hot, earnestly continuing, "As long as we work hard to preach for the Upper God, one day His glory will cover the world, turning it into an Earthly Divine Kingdom! We too will ascend to God's kingdom and reunite with Shan'er to partake in eternity. Sister, I know you're reluctant to part with Shan'er, but this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for her. Parting is for a better reunion next time. It's not as if we won't have a chance to see Shan'er again in the future, right? Sacrifice is necessary, for only through giving up can one gain!"
Ning Zhongze fell silent, clearly swayed.
After pondering for a long while, Ning Zhongze relented and said, "Brother, we must have Shan'er's consent for this. We absolutely cannot force her."
"Sister, don't worry! I'm doing this for Shan'er's good. How could I force her?" Yue Buqun was overjoyed and quickly reassured her.
