Chapter 7 Ye Tiandi: Stranded on Mars, Big Shot Save Me!_1
The Power of the Divine Spirit. It was terrifying indeed.
Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, and others had a look of reverence in their eyes. They had previously only pondered over the immortal divine body of the God of Hongmeng, knowing that the God of Hongmeng was extremely powerful, an Immortal True God. They could simply pray and receive divine grace. But they did not hold much reverence in their hearts.
However, the scene just now, where tens of thousands of soldiers along with the plains and hills were instantly reduced to ashes, deeply shook their souls. The Divine Spirit not only had grace as vast as the ocean but also possessed might like a prison.
"Respectfully inviting the issuance of my God's divine mandate!" Jing Ni, having casually obliterated the Mongolian Army with a palm strike as if swatting a mosquito, felt no ripple in her heart. Kneeling in the void, she spoke respectfully.
"Granted!"
A grand and magnificent Dao voice arose from the distant heavens, seeming to traverse past, present, and future, echoing through the eternity of time and space. Endless Rules and Dao rhymes weaved together into a Golden Command, descending from an unknown place far away and falling into Jing Ni's hands.
Seeing this scene, Huang Yaoshi and the others were further shocked. They already knew from Jing Ni's words that she was merely a Divine Envoy. However, seeing her incredibly humble demeanor, the image of the God of Hongmeng in their hearts grew even more imposing, and their eyes filled with deeper reverence.
Jing Ni lifted the divine mandate, stood up, and with eyes like torches, looked down upon the world, announcing, "Hear my God's divine mandate! Little Dragon Girl, for her meritorious service in preaching the faith and performing sacrifices, is hereby appointed to the Post of Envoy of the World God. She is granted Thousand Years Power and bestowed with the Jade Girl Immortal Sutra. As for the others, they are granted varying Cultivation Levels, some receiving up to one hundred years."
As Jing Ni's voice resonated, boundless divine light fell from the sky. The largest portion landed on Little Dragon Girl, followed by Granny Sun and The Seven Sons of Quanzhen. A Divine Spirit Mark appeared on Little Dragon Girl's forehead, noble and sacred, inviolable and divine. A powerful aura permeated around her, and as the Jade Girl Immortal Sutra operated, her Cultivation Level visibly skyrocketed at an alarming rate. In the blink of an eye, she surpassed the Supreme Grandmaster, finally stopping at the fourth-tier Cultivation Level defined by Hongmeng.
Granny Sun and The Seven Sons of Quanzhen reached the rank of Supreme Grandmaster. Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, and others only had a slight improvement, merely reaching the Peak of Grandmaster, while the ordinary followers were cured of all their diseases and the disabled regained their health.
"Gratefully thanking my God for His gracious favor!" Little Dragon Girl floated in the air, ethereal as a fairy, her hands respectfully receiving the Golden Command that fell from the sky.
"'I hope you all will continue to strive and not fail the high expectations of my God,' Jing Ni stated. Then, she turned and departed." Li Mochou and many Sacrifices closely followed behind, disappearing into the horizon with the heavenly divine light.
The sky returned to calm. But everyone was as if in a trance, struggling to return to their senses for a long time.
"Little Dragon Girl will certainly not fail the high expectations of my God. I will shatter into pieces and shall not refuse even a thousand deaths," said Little Dragon Girl with a determined voice. Then she stood up, and the others were similarly awakened, expressing their thanks in unison, "Thank you for my God's gracious favor!"
"HISS! There really are gods!"
"With just a flip of the hand, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were turned to dust, the sea transformed into mulberry fields. The mighty power of the Divine Spirit is truly unimaginable!"
"I shall believe in the God of Hongmeng. I want to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect!"
The martial artists who had gathered to watch the spectacle returned to their senses, their shock mingled with excitement. They hadn't expected to witness a Divine Manifestation; this lifetime had truly been worthwhile.
"Congratulations to the Sect Hierarch for becoming a Divine Envoy, greatly advancing in cultivation. Ascending to immortality and divinity is within reach!" Ma Yu and the others looked at Little Dragon Girl with admiration and awe, clearly sensing the terrifying aura emanating from her.
Huang Yaoshi and others also offered their congratulations. Yet, their gazes were somewhat complex. They used to be the strongest martial artists in the world, but now even The Seven Sons of Quanzhen had far surpassed them.
Of course, they understood. After all, it was only today that they began to worship the God of Hongmeng, and they had not made any contributions, so receiving some rewards was already a great grace. How could they dare to ask for more?
"All right, prepare yourselves. In three days, I will go to the Capital City and have the Emperor proclaim the Hongmeng Divine Sect as the National Religion, so that the entire nation will worship our God!" Little Dragon Girl spoke indifferently. Propagating the religion through the nation was the quickest way.
"Sect Hierarch, we are willing to go to Mongolia and the surrounding lesser countries to persuade them to worship our God," Huang Yaoshi and the others said. They too wished to make contributions, so that they might receive more rewards. The ones who once stood at the peak certainly didn't want to fall behind others. For Little Dragon Girl, as a Divine Envoy, they figured there was no longer any hope of surpassing her in this lifetime. But now even the junior generation of The Seven Sons of Quanzhen had climbed over their heads, which was frustrating to them.
"You may!" Little Dragon Girl nodded and then returned to the Hongmeng Divine Sect in Zhongnan Mountain.
The news of the God of Hongmeng's Divine Manifestation and the dispatch of a Divine Envoy to obliterate thirty thousand Mongolian soldiers with a single palm strike, leaving behind an unfathomably deep palm imprint, soon swept through the lands like a storm. The whole world was boiling with excitement. In just a few short days, countless people chose to worship the God of Hongmeng.
When the news reached the Capital City, the rulers and ministers of Great Song were all stunned.
"Are there truly Divine Spirits?" Emperor Zhao Yun of Great Song stared at his intelligence officer, shaking with excitement and confirming repeatedly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. Tens of thousands of citizens have seen it with their own eyes, and the plains, hills, and mountains not far outside of Zhongnan Mountain have disappeared, turned into a huge lake shaped like a palm imprint, stretching for hundreds of miles..." The intelligence officer reported all the details, which made Zhao Yun extremely excited and thrilled. The presence of Divine Spirits implied the prospect of immortality. This was something emperors of all generations had longed for.
While Great Song confirmed the Divine Manifestation, Little Dragon Girl, along with Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and others, arrived at the Capital City. With her formidable power and the prior miracle, Little Dragon Girl was warmly received by Zhao Yun upon her arrival in the Capital City.
How beautiful! Zhao Yun was immediately stunned when he saw Little Dragon Girl. He thought that the beauties of his six palaces paled in comparison! Little Dragon Girl was already ethereally beautiful and unsurpassed in her loveliness, and now, with Thousand Years Power and the Jade Girl Immortal Sutra, she was comparable to a Celestial Being, with a transcendent aura. Zhao Yun couldn't resist her. As an Emperor, any beauty he desired, he could have for his enjoyment, so his gaze suddenly became fervent when he saw Little Dragon Girl. Being the Emperor and with Little Dragon Girl as a Divine Envoy, wouldn't they be a match made in heaven?
"Hmm?" Little Dragon Girl frowned slightly and a powerful aura pressed down.
THUD. Zhao Yun instantly knelt down. An endless tide of fear surged into his heart, and for the first time, he felt death so near.
"Audacious!"
"There is an assassin!"
"Guard His Majesty!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
Seeing Zhao Yun kneeling, the surrounding ministers and guards shouted loudly and rushed towards Little Dragon Girl.
"Do you wish to die?" Little Dragon Girl levitated, her formidable aura spreading and pressing down. The hundreds of guards who had rushed over, regardless of their martial arts level, were instantly pressed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Spirit cannot be defiled, and the Divine Envoy, as the spokesperson of the Divine Spirit in the mortal realm, cannot be defiled either. Your Majesty, you must apologize to the Divine Envoy immediately!" One of the ministers, afraid of dying, tugged at Zhao Yun, urging him hurriedly.
"Divine Envoy, forgive my transgression. Just now, upon my first encounter with the Divine Envoy, I was astounded by her celestial beauty, and any offense was unintentional. I implore the Divine Envoy's forgiveness!" Zhao Yun had also come to his senses by then, his back drenched in cold sweat. How foolish he had been just now! This was a True God's envoy, not comparable to those phony devotees of the past. Though it was embarrassing for an emperor to apologize, he had already knelt; could there be anything more humiliating? Moreover, he genuinely felt the breath of death. He had no doubt that Little Dragon Girl would dare to kill him.
"Please, Divine Envoy, show mercy. His Majesty was merely confused for a moment, dazzled by the Divine Envoy's heavenly grace and beauty, with no intention of offense or blasphemy!" The numerous ministers spoke up, recalling the Divine Envoy's descent from the heavens, annihilating thirty thousand Mongolian cavalry, turning grassy mounds and ridges into vast seas and lakes. Now, with Little Dragon Girl hovering in the air, resembling an Immortal God, they truly lacked the courage to resist.
"This shall not set a precedent!" Little Dragon Girl declared coldly.
"Thank you, Divine Envoy, thank you!" Zhao Yun and the others were overjoyed, as if they had received a royal pardon.
"Enough, follow me as I recite the prayers to my God!" Little Dragon Girl did not elaborate further. Although Zhao Yun was at fault, he had merely looked at her with lustful eyes, and she would not kill for that. A small punishment would serve as a great warning.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun and his ministers dared not refute, though in their hearts, they did not take it too seriously.
However, as they finished their prayers and felt their bodies strengthening, everyone became excited. Especially Zhao Yun. As the Emperor, he had been indulging in a different beauty each night, and his body had been hollowed out. But now, he felt a hundred times more robust than in his youth. He could take on ten men! Zhao Yun was thrilled. Tonight, he was determined to have a vigorous fight!
And having felt the greatness and terror of the God of Hongmeng, he indeed no longer dared to look directly at Little Dragon Girl, his heart filled with boundless reverence. The envoy of a True God, especially one so fearsome, was definitely not someone he could afford to offend or covet. Moreover, just praying brought divine grace; soon, all people under heaven would become followers of the Upper God, and it would just take a single word from Little Dragon Girl to depose him as Emperor.
「In the time that followed.」
With the strong support of Zhao Yun and the civil and military officials, the Hongmeng Divine Sect became the National Religion, Little Dragon Girl became the State Preceptor, and the whole country worshipped the God of Hongmeng. Statues of the god sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain all over the country. Mongolia and other surrounding small countries, under the majesty and grace of the Divine Spirit, all integrated into the Great Song and worshipped the God of Hongmeng. A revolution that swept across the world began vigorously.
「10,000 Heavens Chat Group.」
Huashan Sect Master: "Although I know the divine might is unfathomable, capable of obliterating heaven and earth, witnessing Jing Ni annihilate an army of thirty thousand with a flip of her palm, leaving no bones behind and turning mountains into lakes and seas, is still utterly shocking!"
The Lord of Great Qin: "Seeing Jing Ni again, it truly feels like a dream."
The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Yes, ever since joining the chat group and encountering the Upper God, our destinies have undergone earth-shaking changes!"
Tushan's Second Master: "Ah, how lonely it is to be invincible. I wonder if Ye Tiandi has embarked on his journey with the Nine Dragons Coffin?"
Dominator of The World Association: "I just went to the Eastern Sea and captured a Divine Dragon, preparing for the next sacrifice to our God!"
Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Leader Xiong is formidable. I haven't even collected all the Different Fires of our world!"
Upper God's Dog Son: "Sister Yun, what are you missing?"
Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Apart from the Green Lotus Core Flame that was offered up and the Golden Emperor Burnt Sky Flame taken by Xun'er, I'm missing the last two from the Different Fire List!"
Dominator of The World Association: "…"
Upper God's Dog Son: "Sister Yun, you've changed, I suspect you are showing off!"
Huashan Sect Master: "Be confident, remove the doubt! Master Yun is indeed showing off, how can we ordinary people go on!"
Upper God's Dog Son: "With all the big shots showing off, how am I supposed to live?"
"I'm going all out, I'll first hoodwink an Iron-eating Beast King to offer as a sacrifice to our God!"
Dominator of The World Association: "Dog Son, farewell on your journey!"
Upper God's Dog Son: "Scram!"
The chat group was bustling with activity. Naturally, Little Dragon Girl's sacrifice was also broadcast live. The scene where Jing Ni took action shocked them profoundly.
Divine grace like the ocean.
Divine might like prison.
Each member inwardly cautioned themselves to always maintain a reverential fear of the Divine Spirit.
Their changes were clearly perceived by Hongmeng. Watching Jing Ni return to report, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "You did very well!"
Of course, Jing Ni's action was also with his consent.
"To serve our God, I will bravely face death!" Jing Ni's voice was clear and crisp, her gaze determined and steady.
"Rise." Hongmeng spoke and then awarded her one million Divine Crystals and two powerful martial arts techniques.
"I thank my God for this gracious gift." Jing Ni accepted the rewards, then quietly retreated behind Hongmeng, like a ghostly bodyguard.
「At that moment.」
Hongmeng's eyebrows raised as he entered the chat group.
Ye Tiandi: "I've met with calamity! I'm on Mars, dire emergency, I need a big shot to save me!"
