Chapter 156: Chapter 154: Building the Divine Domain

"Is this servitude even legitimate?" A sly grin appeared uncontrollably at the corner of Yang Qizhou’s lips.

Speaking of making Lena the ’representative’ of the ’God of Victory’ on earth to manage the vast number of future believers, it seemed like quite a decent idea after all.

But who knows how the game character will decide.

Let’s keep going.

...

...

"Turning the villagers of Fire Stealing Village into believers—this was a thought you had when you were becoming a true Wizard, and now it has finally come to fruition. This put you in an exceptionally good mood,"

"You continued to use your intent to manipulate the ’God of Victory’. A lofty, ancient voice, filled with the majesty of a god, echoed once more... ’You must mobilize the villagers to construct an altar in the center of the village—that shall become My Sacrificial Altar. Additionally, every morning and evening, you must mobilize the believers to recite My full honorific name in reverence and offer devout prayers. That is the way to please Me. Remember this carefully.’"

"As the Night Watcher of Fire Stealing Village, Lena was quite familiar with rituals to serve ’gods’. She accepted the ’God of Victory’s’ instructions with anticipation and readily agreed."

"Turning the villagers of Fire Stealing Village into believers—it was a surprisingly smooth process! You can’t help but smile as you continued manipulating the ’God of Victory’, withdrawing him entirely from the real-world plane."

"At the same time,"

"You saw various Night Watchers, including Yixiu, and numerous believers rushing in with looks of fear, glancing around nervously. They had seen the colorful, radiant lights emanating from Lena’s house and thought something ominous had occurred. They wanted to rush in to help but were blocked by the ’God of Victory’s’ divine power. Now that the ’God of Victory’ had departed and His might had dissipated, they finally entered."

"Lena, both moved and touched, explained the situation to everyone present and shared the news of Fire Stealing Village’s faith conversion to the ’God of Victory’."

"The villagers didn’t oppose. Fire Stealing Village had endured far too much. The retreat of their Divine Domain and the withdrawal of blessings had made them realize that their original deity, the Fire Stealing Ancient God, had problems. If the village were to survive, another god’s protection was inevitable."

"The villagers quickly dispersed to begin preparing for the construction of the Sacrificial Altar and their first holy ritual."

"Witnessing all this, you realized that turning the villagers into believers of the ’God of Victory’ was an unchangeable fact by now. Then, you began pondering whether you should reveal yourself to Lena or quietly leave unnoticed."

"But just then, a familiar voice suddenly called out—it was Lena. She said... ’Come out, explorer. I know you’re nearby.’"

"Discovered?"

"You felt momentarily surprised, thought it over briefly, and decided to deactivate the effects of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes’. However, you kept the effect that concealed your ’Wizard Aura’ intact since you certainly didn’t want Lena to discover your identity as a Wizard."

"Curious, you asked her... ’How did you find me?’"

"Lena shook her head, a discernible smile surfacing in her now-normal-clear eyes... ’I didn’t find you, but I knew you were here. The reason is simple: without your guidance, that ’God of Victory’ wouldn’t have been able to cross the Twilight Barrier and enter Fire Stealing Village.’"

"You finally relaxed. For a moment, you were truly startled, thinking she might have figured out your manipulation of the ’God of Victory’. You didn’t respond, merely shrugged to admit it silently."

"At that moment, Lena adopted a serious expression, her voice filled with sincerity and earnestness as she said... ’Though I don’t know where you found this ’God of Victory’ or what sort of trade you’ve made with this deity that wields authority over good fortune, I still want to thank you for your help.’"

"You thought privately to yourself... No need to thank me. I’m doing it all to harvest faith and gain more Old Sacrifices."

"Your mischievous nature flared up again. Seeing Lena’s heartfelt sincerity, you couldn’t resist teasing her and grinned mischievously as you said... ’How will you thank me? Perhaps by offering yourself in marriage?’"

"Faced with your teasing comment, Lena remained silent for a long time. Then, she quietly replied... ’I’ve told you before that I’d marry you, but you refused.’"

"Instantly, the atmosphere turned awkward."

"You quickly and deftly changed the topic, putting on a grave expression as you asked Lena... ’Now that we have divine protection, what’s your plan for handling the Favored of the ’Lord of Night’ outside?’"

"You saw Lena shake her head, her expression bitter... ’I haven’t figured it out yet. The ’God of Victory’ likely isn’t a high-ranking deity, at best comparable to the Fire Stealing Ancient God, perhaps even weaker. On the other hand, the Mysterious Shadow is the Favored of the ’Lord of Night’, empowered with a fragment of the ’Lord of Night’s’ authority. Leaving aside whether the ’God of Victory’ is willing to confront the ’Lord of Night’ for Fire Stealing Village, even if a fight broke out, the odds of winning aren’t great.’"

"You mused privately to yourself... That’s exactly right. You recalled that before entering Fire Stealing Village, you had already manipulated the ’God of Victory’ to engage in a hidden battle of authority and symbolism with the ’Mysterious Shadow’. The ’Lord of Night’s’ Favored had nearly defeated the ’God of Victory’ by reciting the full honorific name of the ’Lord of Night’."

"Unless a position capable of directly confronting the ’Lord of Night’s’ might is attained, there’s little chance of victory against the ’Mysterious Shadow’."

"You exchanged a few more casual comments with Lena before she quickly got busy again, preparing for the construction of the ’God of Victory’s’ altar."

"Soon, you followed her out and saw the villagers rapidly constructing a platform at the center of the village. After performing a Fire Stealing ritual to endure the long, dark night, the platform was completed by noontime the next day."

"Under Lena’s direction, Fire Stealing Village began its very first Old Sacrifice ritual to the ’God of Victory’."

"The villagers’ simultaneous recitation of the full honorific name of the ’God of Victory’ resonated across the area."

...

...

Oh crap, so many people reciting the full honorific name of the ’God of Victory’—is my head going to explode?

Seeing the textual content, Yang Qizhou was taken aback.

Apparently, he was overthinking it. When hundreds of villagers simultaneously recited the full honorific name of the ’God of Victory’, a grayish-white mist surged forth again, forming countless bubbles. Each bubble displayed the corresponding image of a believer. Only the particularly devout ones or individuals like Lena, who had a direct connection with the ’God of Victory’, would receive spontaneous revelations. Otherwise, unless you clicked on the bubble to connect the prayer medium, you wouldn’t hear the believers’ voices of prayer.

"Phew, thankfully. Otherwise, having hundreds of believers chanting in my ears twice every day would either drive me crazy or at least annoy me to death—not to mention the future when the number of believers would reach thousands, tens of thousands, or even more."

Relieved, Yang Qizhou turned his attention back to the game.

...

...

"A vast surge of faith energy transformed through the prayer channels into ’Old Sacrifices’, materializing before you."

"You received 580 Old Sacrifices."

"Although the quantity was a bit low, the fact that this was a daily, sustainable income made you quite satisfied with the result. Moreover, as the number of believers increased, so would these figures—it was highly promising."

"Next naturally came the stage of constructing a Divine Domain."

"You watched as an indescribable force, imperceptible to ordinary people and of an unnameable color, surged forth from your being. It intertwined with the transparent faith energy emanating from the villagers’ devout prayers. Soon, an inexplicable sensation began permeating through Fire Stealing Village."

"This was the ’God of Victory’s’ Divine Domain."

"Conceptually speaking, from this moment onward, Fire Stealing Village fell under the dominion of the ’God of Victory’."

"This was your first group of believers and held a special place in your heart. You didn’t want Fire Stealing Village to be consumed by the wilderness’ unknown horrors. After pondering for a moment, you quickly reached a decision."

"You retrieved the ’Golden Law Book’."

"You murmured to yourself... ’The contents of the two ’Golden Law Books’ are interconnected. Placing one of them in Fire Stealing Village means that if danger arises, I can fully utilize the other one to inscribe new edicts to suppress unknown dangers and protect the villagers from harm.’"

"With this thought in mind, you promptly made up your mind."

"A pillar of light descended upon the altar, connecting heaven and earth. This was a miracle displayed by channeling the immense faith energy within Fire Stealing Village through the ’God of Victory’s’ mental aspect."

"You solemnly placed the ’Golden Law Book’ within the pillar of light, allowing it to slowly land on the altar."

"You then activated the authority of ’Gathering Fortune’, creating a protective barrier around the area. Anyone attempting to approach the ’Golden Law Book’ would encounter dire misfortune and perish in a variety of catastrophic accidents."

"Through the ’God of Victory’, you conveyed the first divine oracle to the believers... ’I am the God of Victory, who commands good fortune, and I shall protect you from the unknown horrors of the wilderness. The Golden Book represents My authority. No one is to touch it; otherwise, grave misfortune will befall the thief.’"

"You saw the believers of Fire Stealing Village cheer even more fervently. Though they didn’t recite the full honorific name this time, you still received 200 Old Sacrifices."

"You were quite pleased with this outcome."

...

...

Yang Qizhou, like his game character, was also very satisfied with the result.

A total of 780 Old Sacrifices had been collected.

The figure might not seem substantial at first glance, but this was just from one day and limited to Fire Stealing Village. As the story progressed, the ’God of Victory’s’ believers were bound to multiply, and the daily Old Sacrifice income was sure to become significant. freёwebnoѵel.com

Truly a promising future,

"Oh right, I wonder if those 200 Destiny Fire Bottles have been sold yet." Suddenly reminded of this, Yang Qizhou hurriedly opened the ’Destiny Exchange’.

What surprised him was... Of the 200 Destiny Fire Bottles, 170 had been sold, but 30 remained unsold.

Could it have been priced too high?

"No, that’s unlikely. If the price were too high, 170 wouldn’t have been sold within just twenty minutes. This indicates that the price of 80 Old Sacrifices per bottle is still within the acceptable range for players."

"The reason the remaining 30 haven’t sold is likely because the buyers simply don’t have as many Old Sacrifices as they thought they did."
