People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 286 Inside the mall, during the temple fair, I unexpectedly encountered Yang Tianyou!
Kyushu, Fire Cloud Cave.

Just as the Styx River entered the Nine Provinces, Fuxi and the others in the Fire Cloud Cave sensed it and turned to look in the direction of the Styx River.

"The Styx River? What is he doing in my Nine Provinces?"

Despite Styx's repeated setbacks in the Netherworld over the years, it has not diminished his reputation in the primordial world.

The Styx River proves its Dao through killing, and there is a saying that as long as the sea of ​​blood never dries up, the Styx River will never die.

In terms of combat power, he was among the top few of the many Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World.

Back in the Blood Sea, Styx single-handedly fought against Kunpeng and Zhen Yuanzi, two Quasi-Saints with two Corpses, plus Jin Yuan Ancestor, a Quasi-Saint with one Corpse, and managed to hold them off for thousands of years, demonstrating his formidable combat power.

Now that Styx, a formidable and unrestrained killing god, has arrived uninvited, even the Three Sovereigns, who are near-saints, couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that things were somewhat troublesome.

With their cultivation level, defeating Styx wouldn't be too difficult.

The problem is that the Nine Provinces of today are far more diverse than they were during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The number of clansmen is so large that they can be said to be spread throughout the entire Nine Provinces.

Given Styx's fighting strength, if they were to cause trouble in Kyushu, even if they intervened in time, a large number of innocent people would die. In severe cases, several major cities might even be completely annihilated.

More importantly, even if they took action, they were somewhat helpless against the Styx.

In modern terms, Styx is like an unkillable cockroach; as long as the Blood Sea still exists, it won't be long before he can be fully resurrected from it.

If they really angered Styx, this god of slaughter who has no taboos, and he started causing trouble in Kyushu from time to time, they would either have to run to the Blood Sea to block the gate from the opposite direction, or they would have to ask a sage for help.

Therefore, they will not act rashly until they have determined Styx's purpose in entering Kyushu.

As the only three sub-saints in the primordial world, the Three Sovereigns could also sense that calamity was brewing in the primordial world, making it difficult to deduce the purpose of the Styx River's arrival.

"Let's wait and see..."

Fuxi remained silent for a moment. For the sake of the safety of the human race, he decided to wait and see. If the Styx River did not come to the Nine Provinces with malicious intent, then he would let it be.

If he were only coming to Kyushu, it wouldn't endanger the interests of the human race, and given Styx's status, he would naturally be qualified to do so.

Of course, if the Styx behaves in any unusual way that could endanger the human race, they will take action immediately. At worst, they will take turns blocking the entrance to the Blood Sea to prevent the Styx's retaliation.

Styx had guessed some of what was going on, but he didn't take it to heart.

After entering Kyushu, he wandered between various cities, searching for something.

"The Nine Provinces are only so big. As long as you are still here, I will definitely find you. If I can't even deal with a mere Great Luo like you, then I won't need to ask Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan for advice!"

Styx walked through the bustling market, yet no one noticed his presence. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he walked out of this great human city, covering a million miles in a single step, heading towards the Nine Provinces Mall.

at the same time.

Outside the mall.

A beautiful fairy, dressed in a pink fairy dress, with a gentle and elegant temperament and long hair reaching her waist, sat cross-legged on the back of a slightly rounded blue divine bird, with a fiery red divine bird perched on her shoulder, as she arrived outside the city gate.

The person and the two birds were none other than Yunhua and Qingluan.

Today, the mall can be described as the most bustling city in Kyushu.

Even before the establishment of the Great Shang Dynasty, when it was just a trading city, it started with trade.

After Cheng Tang established the Shang Dynasty, he vigorously promoted trade.

If the Kyushu trade system were a religious sect, it could definitely become the state religion of the Great Merchants!
Fairy Yunhua jumped off the back of the Azure Phoenix and looked at the city not far away, bustling with people. Her eyes held both curiosity and a hint of worry.

"Sister Qingluan, are we really alright? If the Emperor finds out, won't he punish us?"

"Don't worry, the Emperor is very easy to talk to."

The Azure Phoenix stretched out a fair arm from under its wing, patted its chest forcefully with a loud thud, and revealed a confident expression.

"As long as things don't go wrong in the Peach Garden, the Emperor won't blame us."

"Besides, the Empress's family back home definitely knows about our affairs in the mortal realm, and she hasn't said anything. Doesn't that mean she agrees to let us come down to play?"

Suzaku nodded in agreement, confidently echoing:
"Yes, yes, Sister Qingluan is right. We've often gone down to the mortal realm to play with Bai Yin over the years, and the Emperor hasn't said anything about it, so you can rest assured!"

"Alright, alright, the temple fair is about to start, let's hurry in, the human chefs make such delicious food."

The Azure Phoenix stretched out an arm from under its wing, put its arm around Fairy Yunhua's shoulder, and strode toward the city gate.

Humanity and the Heavenly Court have cooperated for many years, and now there are numerous temples throughout the Nine Provinces. Heavenly deities can be seen everywhere, and a scene of coexistence between humans and gods has been achieved.

Qingluan and the others simply showed their proof of divine status from the Heavenly Court and successfully entered the city.

In the Great Shang Dynasty, a temple fair was held every hundred years. After all, this was a primordial world where everyone could cultivate, and the Nine Provinces could be considered to be full of earth immortals.

Against this backdrop, holding a temple fair once a year is clearly unrealistic.

Furthermore, since the human race does not yet have the custom of celebrating the New Year, the temple fair is the most important festival in the Shang Dynasty.

Today marks the opening of this temple fair.

The already bustling shopping mall became even more crowded today, with people from all over Kyushu coming to participate in this grand event. Everywhere you looked, there were people.

The further you walk towards the temple complex, the more people there are on the streets.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would probably take quite a bit of effort to squeeze past these people.

This is why the human race, protected by the Nine Cauldrons Formation, does not need to worry about external threats, and has a large number of celestial gods and human cultivators maintaining order, which is why they dare to hold such a temple fair.

Otherwise, if a powerful enemy were to attack at this time, many people would likely perish.

Alternatively, a conflict occurring within the shopping mall could also result in numerous casualties.

However, Fairy Yunhua was accompanied by two Great Luo Golden Immortals, Qingluan and Zhuque, so it was impossible for them to block her way.

Soon, the two birds and the woman arrived outside the temple complex.

There are over a hundred temples here, and 99% of them are quite similar in construction specifications and materials used, with only eleven temples being exceptions. Among them, there are four temples of the highest specifications: Taiqing Temple, Yuqing Temple, Shangqing Temple, and Nuwa Temple, which are temples dedicated to the saints.

Secondly, there is Yang Xuan's Emperor Temple, which is only slightly less grand than the four Sage Temples. If one doesn't look closely, one might not even be able to tell the difference.

At first, Fairy Yunhua was startled to see Yang Xuan's Emperor Temple and Sage Temple built together.

Although she spent most of her time in the Heavenly Court, she was able to cultivate to the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so she couldn't possibly be some ignorant girl.

She was well aware that if Yang Xuan's Emperor Temple was indeed of the same standard as the Sage's Temple, it might not be a good thing. If someone with ulterior motives saw it, they could accuse him of disrespecting the Sage.

She was thinking that she would find an opportunity to bring up this matter with the Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty and resolve this potential threat to Yang Xuan.

She only gave up the idea when she saw that Yang Xuan's Emperor Temple was half a step shorter than the Sage Temple.

But she was still deeply moved. The scale of Yang Xuan's temple showed how high his status was among the human race.

"The Heavenly Court corresponds to the Heavenly Dao, and the Emperor is a second-rank Emperor in the Heavenly Court. The Underworld corresponds to the Earthly Dao, and the Emperor is also a second-rank Ghost Emperor in the Underworld. The Human Race corresponds to the Humanity Dao, and the Emperor is also a great sage of the Human Race."

"Throughout the primordial world, there is probably no other being who can hold such a position in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man as the Emperor!"

As Fairy Yunhua gazed at the Emperor's Temple, located at the highest point and built alongside the Holy Temple, her eyes shone brightly, her face radiant with spring-like joy, unable to conceal her admiration and a touch of unusual brilliance.

Even without the matchmaker's intervention, a person of Yang Xuan's immense power would still have countless admirers, both men and women.

This is especially true for a simple girl like Fairy Yunhua who never leaves her home. With the red thread of fate tied by the Old Man of the Moon, it's perfectly normal for her to have some other thoughts.

However, she was still a naive and inexperienced young girl. Her cheeks flushed slightly at the thought of Yang Xuan. She turned to look at Qingluan and Zhuque and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that their attention was not on her.

Then, she looked at the temple in front of her again.

Below Emperor Yang Xuan's temple, there are six other temples of a higher standard than the others, but they are worlds apart from Emperor Yang Xuan's temple.

These seven temples are of similar scale: the Three Officials Temple, dedicated to the three human emperors Yao, Shun, and Yu; the Heavenly Emperor Temple and the Queen Mother Temple, dedicated to Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West; and—

The Temple of the Mysterious Lady, belonging to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady!

Under Yang Xuan's arrangement, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has now firmly established herself as the God of War of the Heavenly Court, and is now the most famous celestial being in the Heavenly Court after Yang Xuan.

Even if the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods ends in the future, and Yang Jian is physically listed on the list and granted godhood, the title of God of War of the Heavenly Court will still belong to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Even the two Heavenly Lords, Haotian and the Queen Mother, cannot compare to the fame of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in the Nine Provinces.

The main reason for this was naturally due to Yang Xuan's propaganda. The Xuan Nu Temple of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady could be said to have blossomed all over the prehistoric world, and could reap a huge amount of incense offerings every day.

Furthermore, Yang Xuan could help design her invocation ritual. When the followers of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden perform the invocation ritual, they must shout—

[Please, Holy Mother of the Nine Heavens, War Emperor, descend to vanquish evil and uphold justice!!!]

Furthermore, believers must use their magical powers to shout loudly, and the sound can travel at least hundreds of miles away.

This action, while somewhat shameful for the current prehistoric world, has yielded surprisingly good results.

Every time the followers of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady perform the ritual of invoking the gods, it is equivalent to conducting a large-scale propaganda campaign.

As a result, after helping the demon race, the number of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's followers increased several times over.

Nowadays, the name of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is well-known throughout the Nine Provinces and the Demon Clan. Her fame is considerable, far surpassing that of Haotian and the Queen Mother, who are considered insignificant.

On the other hand, it was due to the personal reasons of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

After being assigned to the Ministry of War by Yang Xuan, she often led teams down to the mortal realm to kill evil spirits.

Over the years, she has defeated hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals have become the victims of her sword.

If it weren't for the fact that after a Great Luo Golden Immortal dies, their true spirit would be accompanied by their incomplete divine soul and return to the River of Fate, then Yang Xuan's Human Emperor Banner might have gained several more Great Luo Realm Yin Souls as a result!
The primordial world was vast, and there were countless living beings. Although there were few Great Luo Golden Immortals, there were still quite a few of them.

An ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal might spend their entire life without ever having the chance to fight a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's record of defeating hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals, with more than ten dying by her sword, is truly astonishing.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, it is estimated that only a few great demons during the Lich War, or even a killing god like Styx during the Great Luo era, could have such amazing achievements.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is so famous in the prehistoric world, and that the scale of her temples in the Nine Provinces is comparable to that of Haotian and the Queen Mother.

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to become a renowned deity like Sister Xuan Nu, helping the Emperor maintain order in the primordial world..."

"Hmm... I only thought of this to help my brother, yes, that's it!"

Yunhua rubbed her cheeks, turned her gaze away from the temple above, and followed the two strangely shaped divine birds, Qingluan and Zhuque, forward.

This temple complex can be considered a sacred place for the human race, where one can freely traverse using flying abilities, but can only proceed on foot.

Before she could take a few steps, a young man suddenly slipped and fell down in front of Fairy Yunhua with a cry of surprise.

This happened so suddenly, and Fairy Yunhua's attention was focused on the surrounding temples. If she had come here alone, she probably would have been bumped into by this person.

But just then, a chubby blue divine bird suddenly appeared in front of Fairy Yunhua, and stretched out an arm as soft as a noodle from under its wing, which pressed down on the man's shoulder.

Pushing him away also helped him regain his balance.

The young man was slightly taken aback when he saw the strangely shaped divine bird, but then he showed a hint of apology and bowed to Fairy Yunhua behind the divine bird.

"This humble Taoist priest, Yang Tianyou, has frightened the fairy. Please forgive me!"

P.S.: 8,000 words finished today!

I would like to express my gratitude to the author, Mengchenyanyukonglingluo, for the generous donation. I never expected to receive so many donations at once.

Then I checked the backend and found that the book had received a lot of generous donations, some from Qidian and some from QQ Reading. The author is extremely grateful.

The author is aware of their current limitations, but they would be very happy if they could write a plot that satisfies everyone, get subscriptions and follow the story, and even send monthly tickets.

Tipping is actually unnecessary; it's not a small amount of money anyway.
