Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 116 Demand List! Entering the Lu Family Temple!
"Okay, then it's settled!"

Yu Feng patted Lu Chen's shoulder with his broad hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Go back and prepare well, and settle the three thousand followers of the Rakshasa Cult as soon as possible. Remember, everything should be done with caution, and do not cause any trouble."

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will make proper arrangements."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, he prepared to take his leave.

Before he turned away, Yu Feng added, "You should have confidence. You might as well plan the temple arrangement in advance. Think about what kind of temple you want to build and which deities you want to worship. Remember, a new temple can only worship a maximum of sixty deities. You need to carefully consider this number."

"Yes, I will remember!"

Lu Chen bowed deeply, bid farewell, and left.

Watching his retreating figure as he pushed open the door, Yu Feng silently produced a scroll of amnesty documents in his hand. He sighed, shook his head, and chuckled, "What's going on here? This kid... he's becoming more and more unpredictable."

……

On the way back, Lu Chen was also reflecting on what Yu Feng had said earlier.

"Solve a case? Solve what case? Has Jiangdu City been rather unsafe lately?"

He pursed his lips, suppressing his questions for the time being.

"However, Yu Feng reminded me that as long as I complete one more task, I will be able to officially become a new noble and start building the Lu Clan Temple! At that time, which gods will move in first and how the statues will be sculpted all need to be planned in advance."

Building temples is relatively simple.

With sufficient manpower and funding, given current infrastructure capabilities, speed is by no means a problem.

However, making idols is much more complicated.

Creating a statue the size of a mineral water bottle was already heartbreaking for Lu Chen, let alone a towering statue several meters tall.
"These statues absolutely must be custom-made by Chen Tiansheng!"

Lu Chen spent the money willingly, even eagerly.

"It seems I need to discuss this with my elder brother, Yama, and the Plague Emperor to see which of their subordinate gods or fellow Daoists need to be arranged. There are only sixty spots, so there's more than enough room to allocate them as needed."

Having made up his mind, Lu Chen sped up.

However, before returning to Nanshan Community, he stopped by the Xinghai Watches flagship store.

The flagship watch I ordered a while ago has already arrived.

The other party came to deliver the goods in person, but when they found no one there, they called him.

Lu Chen was busy with the seven-day exorcism in Qianjiang City at the time and didn't have time.

He then told the other party that he would pick it up in person once he was done with this busy period.

It just so happens that it's on my way today.

……

Inside the Xinghai Watches flagship store.

"Ding-dong, welcome!"

The automatic door opened in response.

"Mr. Lu, you've arrived! Welcome, welcome!"

The shop assistant recognized him at a glance.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up the watch I pre-ordered."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll call the manager right away."

After a while...

"Mr. Lu, that's roughly how you operate the [All-God] flagship watch. Would you like me to demonstrate it for you again?"

"No need, I'll study the remaining details when I get back."

"Okay. If you encounter any problems during use, please feel free to contact me. For the [All-God] flagship series, we offer 24-hour on-site service!"

"it is good."

Lu Chen put on his watch, turned and left.

"Manager, don't you think Mr. Lu seems a little different from when he came last time?" A shop assistant whispered, looking surprised.

"Oh? How is it different?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it... it's just a feeling. Compared to the last time he came, his expression seems even more profound, making him unfathomable."

The manager chuckled upon hearing this: "That's called composure!"

"Really? Then why is he driving a pink luxury minivan?" the salesperson asked, puzzled.

……

"Ah!"

In the car, Lu Chen sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and looked down at the new wristwatch that was scanning data.

As the loading progress bar advanced, a crisp voice prompt rang out in the carriage:
"Currently, there are four deities worshipped: Wenchang Emperor, God of Wealth, Yama, and the Plague Emperor."

"The service of the Wenchang Emperor is 0.5%".

"The degree of the God of Wealth's attendant is 61%."

"King Yama's service level: 50%"

"Plague Emperor Haotian's Divine Rank: 34%"

"Congratulations, esteemed flagship user of Quan Shen! Your achievements have surpassed 98% of all spiritual practitioners nationwide!"

After the electronic female voice finished broadcasting, Lu Chen's heartbeat, which had briefly accelerated, gradually calmed down.

"The level of serving the gods has increased significantly! My brother was only around 50% before, but now he has finally broken through the 60% mark. The King of Hell's increase is also considerable. The Plague Emperor is only 34%. As expected, the Star Lord is aloof."

Lu Chen was quite satisfied with this result. The higher the level of service of the God of Wealth, the more prosperous his fortune would naturally be.

The other deities are also more likely to grant opportunities.

"However, with my current achievements, I'm only ahead of 98% of all spiritual practitioners in the country? It seems there are always people more capable than me."

Lu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, a feeling of deep emotion welling up inside him.

"The whole country is so vast, it's full of hidden talents!"

……

When Lu Chen drove to Nanshan Community, he could see from afar that the entrance of the community was crowded with people.

Not far away, more curious residents were pointing and watching.

Lu Chen parked his car and walked over quickly.

"teach--"

"Shh!" Lu Chen immediately raised his index finger, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Keep it down."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The believers immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

"Elder Zeng, where is Elder Wang?"

"It feels like I'm waiting for you at your home."

"Okay, please wait here."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"Slap!" A fellow follower raised his hand and slapped the man on the back of the head, whispering, "Didn't you hear the leader say 'Shh'?"

"Oh, oh, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Lu Chen smiled helplessly, pushed through the crowd, and walked inside.

Three thousand followers gathered, and the neighborhood was packed with people, making it impossible to move.

"Xiao Chen, who are these people? They said they came to see you? Are they all here to buy ghost money?"

When Lu Chen returned, the neighbors immediately surrounded him, asking him a barrage of questions.

"Uncles and aunts, everyone, don't worry. These... are all my friends. Um, please allow me to go home first, and I'll have them leave in a bit. Please forgive me."

"Oh, so they're your friends! Why didn't these kids say so sooner! Quick, quick, don't just stand there, hurry home, boil some water, make tea, get some snacks and fruit, and properly entertain Xiao Chen's friends!"

"Yes, yes, I'm going right now!"

Upon hearing that he was Lu Chen's friend, the neighbors immediately became enthusiastic and sprang into action.

Feeling touched by this simple warmth, Lu Chen walked towards her home.

Even the stairwells were filled with believers.

"Master!"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and pushed open the door to enter the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard my mother's hearty laughter.

"What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a great time?" Lu Chen closed the door behind him.

"My son is back!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile and waved. "Come here quickly. This Miss Zeng is really good at talking and has a lot of skills. She said I can live to be at least a hundred years old!"

"One hundred years old?" Lu Chen chuckled. "Mom, even if you want to live to two hundred or three hundred, your son has ways to help you."

"Oh my, why live so long? You'll become an old monster! A hundred years old is just fine! Well, you guys chat first, I'll go cook."

"Mom, don't bother, let's go out to eat tonight."

Lu's mother thought it made sense. With so many people outside, even if they burned through the pot at home, they still couldn't make it.

"Son, who exactly are these people?" Lu Jianming pulled Lu Chen aside and asked in a low voice, his face showing undisguised worry.

"Dad, Mom, you should go back to your room and rest first. I'll tell you everything after I've finished dealing with what I'm doing."

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy." Mr. and Mrs. Lu exchanged a glance, still having some doubts, but still went back to their room.

In the living room, Lu Chen sat down in the main seat on the sofa.

"Master!"

Zeng Rou and Wang Zhidong immediately bowed down.

"Get up and talk."

Lu Chen raised his hand to help them up, and the two of them stood up.

"The imperial edict of amnesty has been issued. From now on, you can all register in Jiangdu City and live as upright people."

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly stirred Zeng Rou and Wang Zhidong's emotions, leaving them unable to contain themselves.

So fast? !

It seems that their young cult leader's methods are far more unfathomable than they imagined.

Zeng Rou, with her meticulous mind, keenly sensed something and tentatively asked, "Master, our identities are sensitive. Did the imperial court really accept us so easily? Or... were there any other conditions attached?"

Lu Chen gave her an approving look, then his expression turned solemn. "To tell you the truth, although the court has granted you amnesty, it has also put forward rather harsh conditions. In essence, it still wants to imprison you and keep you under strict control."

"Confinement?"

Upon hearing those two words, their expressions immediately changed.
