Li Yue stared blankly at the information before him.
He was truly bewildered.
The message that had appeared in his mind clearly stated that offerings collected during the two annual grand sacrifices would receive a 20% increase.
That's 1.2 times!
But now—
What was with this hundredfold increase?
He immediately opened the "Regional Chat."
If he still had a physical body, he felt his heart would be pounding fiercely at this moment.
Just as he opened the "Regional Chat" interface—
A flood of messages instantly swept across.
[Damn! The offering my believer gave me was the corpse of a Tier 1 Fire Fox. The 20% increase is pretty good—it's a whole size bigger!]
[A ten-year-old 'Bone Strengthening Flower' became a twelve-year-old one!]
[Freshly baked superior 'Qi and Blood Pill', ah, it's increased by 20%. Selling it for only three strands of divine power!]
[Aren't you guys adapting too quickly? I'm still in a daze.]
[Is there a kind brother who can lend this girl two strands of divine power? Once I get a physical body, I'll give you a special treat ~]
[Looking for a CP! I'm a sweet Southern girl wanting someone to keep warm with!]
[Oh my god! I found a dog demon outside my believer's village! So scary—!]
[Anyone need a Tier 1 broadsword? Two strands of divine power per sword.]
[Holy crap! I'm completely numb. My believer's offering was actually a kidnapped bride? My believer runs a bandit den!]
...
"It seems everyone else only got a 20% increase…"
"Only my offerings got a hundredfold increase?"
Li Yue's face lit up with joy.
The difference between a hundredfold increase and a 20% increase was enormous.
A 20% increase—
Could only slightly improve the quality of Tier 1 items.
But a hundredfold increase?
Could turn a Tier 1 item into a Tier 4 item!
This advantage was simply overwhelming!
This collective transmigration feels like I have a cheat!
He opened the "Regional Trade" interface.
Here, not only could gods in the same region trade with one another,
They could also sell valuable items to the "God Shop."
However, the price in the "God Shop" was definitely not generous.
Or rather—
The main function of the "God Shop" was to assign a value to items.
"According to what I just saw in the 'Regional Chat'…"
"The price of a Tier 1 item in the 'God Shop' is about 1,000 strands of faith power—equal to one strand of divine power."
"A Tier 1 item with a 20% increase is around 1,500 strands of faith power."
"The value clearly exceeds just 20%."
"Then what about my offerings after a hundredfold increase?"
He looked at the 'Dragon Blood Flame Grass' that had undergone the hundredfold enhancement.
The entire plant floated in the "Divine Domain", glowing with a scorching red light. Faintly, a small dragon-shaped mist could be seen swirling around it.
In terms of appearance—
It far surpassed the Tier 1 'Body Strengthening Grass' previously on the offering table.
He reached out to grab the 'Dragon Blood Flame Grass', and with a thought—
It immediately disappeared and appeared in the "God Shop".
A stream of information followed.
---
[Name]: Dragon Blood Flame Grass
[Tier]: Tier 4
[Effect]: After a Tier 3 'Primal Gang Realm' peak martial artist consumes it, there's a 50% chance of breaking through to Tier 4 'Yin Yang Realm'.
[Price]: 360 strands of divine power
---
"360 strands of divine power!"
Li Yue's expression brimmed with excitement.
That was equivalent to nearly eight years of faith power income from his current believers!
And it was more than enough to promote his godhood from 'Unranked' to 'Rank 9'!
Once promoted,
He would no longer be a wild god, but a proper Land God!
Right from the start, he had pulled far ahead of the other Blue Star wild gods.
While others were racking their brains for just one or two strands of divine power,
He had easily acquired 360 strands.
"It feels like I'm playing a game with a cheat…"
"This feeling…"
"It's really refreshing!"
He muttered, the smile at the corner of his mouth impossible to suppress—even with the Divine Seal.
Without hesitation,
He sold the Tier 4 'Dragon Blood Flame Grass' to the "God Shop".
As for its effect?
He didn't care.
Among his believers, only two were Tier 1 'Body Refining Realm' martial artists. The rest were ordinary mortals.
They couldn't use a Tier 4 treasure like the 'Dragon Blood Flame Grass' anyway.
Once the sale was completed—
Li Yue immediately sensed 360 strands of divine power flowing into his body.
The surge of divine power made him feel immensely powerful.
He even had the urge to try the 'Golden Blade Technique' again.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
"Wasting divine power on testing divine arts is shameful."
He suppressed his excitement.
Then—
He channeled 100 strands of divine power and began his godhood promotion!
...
Outside the Land God Temple.
The villagers who had knelt now stood up one by one.
They were already accustomed to the two annual grand sacrifices.
It was tradition.
Even though Lord Zhang Yue had never shown divine power, no one felt that worshipping him was a waste.
After all—
Worshipping the gods brought peace of mind.
That's what most of the villagers believed.
However, five elderly devotees of Lord Zhang Yue took the lead in organizing the grand sacrifices each year.
"Huh?"
"Where's the 'Body Strengthening Grass'?"
Li Youming, over fifty and hunched with age, was about to clean the offering table—especially the precious 'Body Strengthening Grass', which needed to be properly stored.
But after looking around—
There was no trace of it.
Where was the grass?
Where had such a large herb gone?
The other elders turned to look after hearing this and became anxious upon realizing it was missing.
After all—
It was a Tier 1 spiritual herb worth ninety taels of silver!
The most valuable item in the village!
They searched everywhere, flipping through the surroundings, but the 'Body Strengthening Grass' was gone.
"Could a bird have snatched it while we were kneeling and praying to Lord Zhang Yue?"
One villager suggested.
"No way."
"This is the Land God Temple. No bird has ever dared steal food from the Land God's altar."
Li Deyang shook his head.
"Then…"
A timid seven- or eight-year-old girl softly said:
"Could it be that Lord Zhang Yue… accepted it?"
As soon as she spoke—
Village chief Li Deyang was stunned.
The other villagers were also stunned.
Lord Zhang Yue accepted it?!
Swish swish swish—
All eyes turned toward the Land God statue inside the temple.
Boom—!
Suddenly, a thunderclap roared in the sky!
