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

Chapter 63: A Pleasant Rain Falls! This S-Rank Mission! I Succeeded!
At this moment, a soaring dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Great Dragon Pool.

Countless people looked up at the distant sky in unison. They saw a white dragon cutting through the clouds, flying at an astonishing speed towards the majestic "Heavenly Gate".

"Look! It's the Well Dragon King! The Well Dragon King has really come!"

"We respectfully invite the Lord of the Spring Water Palace!"

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted from all around the Great Dragon Pool.

However, there were also some sharp-eyed people in the crowd.

"This Well Dragon King... seems a bit small in size..."

During that earth-shattering event three years ago, many people in Longhu County witnessed the figure of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

It was truly a dragon that blotted out the sky, its hundred-foot-long body suffocating.

In comparison, the white dragon before them was only ten zhang long, and its imposing presence was far inferior.

……

"hold head high!!!"

Above the sea of ​​clouds, the Dragon King of the North Sea was furious: "How dare you, a mere worm at the bottom of a well, be so insolent before me!"

The raging dragon's might poured down like Mount Tai, aiming to strike the Dragon King of the Well.

Unexpectedly, a divine light suddenly burst forth from the altar, instantly dissipating the dragon's might into nothingness.

The Dragon King of the North Sea widened his dragon eyes: "This..."

The cold voice of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, came: "This fiend has already received the blessing of merit, but it is too late."

……

In that split second, the Well Dragon King plunged into the [ritual position].

"hold head high!!!!!"

Amidst the thunderous roar of the dragon, the 100,000 merits contained within the [Sacrificial Position] burst forth like a celestial river bursting its banks, transforming into a continuous stream of brilliant gold that flowed into the white dragon's body.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

Its body grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Ten feet!

Twenty feet!
Fifty feet!
In the blink of an eye, it had reached a size of seventy zhang!
The snow-white dragon scales shimmered with a cold, icy light under the blazing sun, each scale resembling divine iron forged through countless trials.

The once slender dragon horns have now transformed into gnarled jade pillars.

"hold head high!!!!!!"

Having completed its transformation, the Well Dragon King raised its head and let out a long roar.

However, this time the dragon's roar was completely different from the previous ones.

Its terrifying power rivals that of the Four Dragon Kings!
Clearly, it possesses the magnificent dragon's might, forged through the tempering of incense offerings from countless people and the baptism of merit.

A qualitative change has been completed!
The Dragon King of the Well unleashed a powerful breath, soaring into the sky and tearing a gap in the heavens!
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, fearing the consequences, immediately disappeared into another cloud.

At this moment, beneath the clouds, countless people witnessed the transformation of the Well Dragon King from his previous appearance to his current extremely majestic form.

They were all stunned and bewildered.

Someone shouted first, "Congratulations to the Lord of the Spring Water Palace on attaining enlightenment!"

In an instant, they all knelt down and began to worship devoutly.

……

……

Above the clouds.

"Damn it! Damn it! This is so humiliating! So humiliating!" The Dragon King of the North Sea was furious and extremely frustrated.

"If it weren't for the Star Lord's decree, I would have crushed him to ashes today, no matter what!"

"That's right! It's just a tiny bug from a well, yet it dares to provoke us!" The West Sea Dragon King's eyes also revealed a bloodthirsty glint. "Brother, let's avoid its sharp edge for now! This Well Dragon King has received such a great merit; he probably won't leave this place anytime soon. We can find a place to kill it later!"

"Avoid his sharp edge?!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang's anger flared, and he suddenly remembered that the Lord Ji Shuibao had said the same thing to him before.

"A humiliating disgrace! Absolutely a humiliating disgrace!!"

Just as the four dragons were locked in a stalemate.

Whom do you call a well bug?

Buzz! !

A boundless divine sound resounded from the heavens above.

The four dragons immediately froze, and in disbelief, slowly turned their heads.

A golden light shot down from the heavens, passing by the Four Seas Dragon Kings and heading towards the Well Dragon King below.

The Four Dragon Kings were shocked: "What is this?!"

Following the golden light, I looked down from the clouds.

Above the Great Dragon Pool, golden light descended from the sky and instantly landed on the Dragon King of the Well.

His body transformed once more!
Every scale turned to gold! Surrounded by auspicious seven-colored light, lightning surged between the horns, and its power suddenly surged again!

The Four Dragon Kings were shocked: "Guardian...Guardian Golden Dragon!?"

It's not hard to tell from that divinity that the golden light is none other than the God of Wealth!
A righteous deity from the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance has actually accepted the Dragon King of the Well as his golden dragon mount?!

Before the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas could react, the clear sky, bright sunshine, white clouds, and mist suddenly plunged them all into utter darkness.

In the darkness, a light, golden rain began to fall, its boundless divinity causing the four dragons to freeze in their tracks.

Suddenly, a pair of enormous golden eyes opened wide.

Beneath those eyes, the Four Dragon Kings appeared as if they were four earthworms crawling on the ground.

"roll!!"

A divine roar resounded decisively through the darkness.

In an instant, a violent storm swept through the entire space.

When the four dragons came to their senses, their teeth trembled, and all their scales stood on end, as if they were four frightened kittens.

"Star Lord, spare us!" Instantly, the four dragons fled in a frenzy and quickly disappeared from this area.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Great Dragon Pool.

This sudden change once again drew gasps of astonishment from the crowd!

To everyone's surprise, the Well Dragon King, which had just completed its transformation, changed again. Its originally snow-white scales turned into a brilliant gold, and its whole body suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light, which was like the sun melting gold, permeating every inch from the dragon's head to its tail.

"The Well Dragon King... has turned into a golden dragon?!"

The people of Longhu County were completely bewildered.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

But at that moment, it seemed as if celestial music drifted from the heavens.

Then, something completely unexpected happened.

A divine image, stretching across the sky, slowly emerged.

When the Dharma Image spoke, its voice was like a resounding bell, instantly spreading throughout heaven and earth:
"By imperial decree, the Lord of the Spring Water Palace is hereby appointed as the Golden Dragon Guardian. He shall enjoy the offerings of incense and sacrifices, and shall be in charge of wind and rain, and shall forever guard the territory of Longhu County."

The Dragon King of the Well instantly transformed into a dragon-headed human, and knelt down in the void before the Dharma image in the sky.

"This humble deity obeys the decree and kowtows to thank the Immortal Lord of Wealth for his mercy

"Lord Juncai?! God Juncai!"

The sudden scene brought Wang Zhongmin and the others back to their senses, and they looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.

Meanwhile, on the high platform, Lu Chen sat looking somewhat tired.

The image of the God of Wealth lowered its gaze and suddenly swept it towards him.

Lu Chen smiled and waved at Him, silently calling out, "Brother."

A meaningful smile flashed across the eyes of the God of Wealth, and his image gradually dissipated into the auspicious clouds.

"Lu Chen! Could it be..."

Sun Yourong ran up to Lu Chen, almost unable to believe the thoughts in her mind.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. There's only one last step left in the ceremony!"

—A memorial to the emperor.

Despite the lingering pain in his body, Lu Chen used the peach wood sword to support himself as he stood up.

Sun Yourong went to help him, but Lu Chen gestured that it wasn't necessary.

He slowly walked to the front of the stage, picked up the prayer document on the table, which was titled "Prayer for Rain".

Then he began to recite aloud:
"Respectfully presented to the Holy Sovereign of the Spring Source Water Palace:"
"In the southern border of the land, a drought has raged for over a month, leaving the land parched and barren. Fields crack, crops withered… Your disciple will lead the people in gratitude, offering sacrifices year after year, throughout the four seasons, to forever receive Your Majesty's grace. We humbly submit this petition for Your Majesty's consideration!"

Wait until the petition is burned!

"hold head high!!!!!!!!!"

With a long roar, as if receiving a command, the Dragon King of the Well summoned clouds and lightning, and dark clouds began to gather above the entire Great Dragon Pool.

At that moment, all the people looked up at the sky and held their breath!

Among the crowd, some people clutched the hem of their clothes, while others stood on tiptoe to look at the clouds.

Even the children stopped crying and stared intently at the dark cloud.

"drop!"

Until the first drop of rain hit the ground, splashing up fine soil.

Someone hesitated for a moment, then reached out and caught the raindrops, which landed in his hand without any surprise.

He suddenly cried out, "It's raining! It's really raining!"

As soon as he said this, a torrential downpour began!

Immediately, screams filled the entire Great Dragon Pool.

On the high platform, Wang Zhongmin and Chen Tiansheng looked up at the sky, spread their arms wide, and opened their mouths wide, tears streaming down their faces.

The rain soaked their clothes instantly, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.

It's been three years!
They had waited three long years for this day!

"Mr. Lu!!!"

The two turned around excitedly to look at Lu Chen, only to find that Lu Chen was lying on the ground in a "spread-eagle" position.

Watching the torrential rain pouring down from the dome.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, letting the rain soak him, and grinned.

"I did it!! I finally succeeded in this S-rank mission!!"

At this moment, the entire Dalongtan area was plunged into an unprecedented frenzy.

Everyone was crying, running, screaming, hugging, and even kissing wildly in the rain!
Among the crowd, Master Lingshui's face was already extremely gloomy. He glared fiercely at the direction of the high platform, then patted the red-spotted woman sitting below him: "Let's go!"

The woman with the red spots nodded and glanced at the high platform, her eyes filled with a chilling glint!

……

Time flew by, and two hours later...

Beside a dry well deep in the mountains where the spring source water palace is located.

Lu Chen, who had just been bandaged up at the hospital and changed his clothes, was brought over by the local earth god.

"My Lord!!"

The Dragon King of the Well, dressed in his finest attire, had been waiting for some time.

Lu Chen saw a dazzling array of multicolored light behind him. He clasped his hands and smiled, "Congratulations, Dragon King, on becoming a guardian golden dragon under the God of Wealth."

The Dragon King of the Well was extremely respectful: "It is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessing! Without Your Majesty, I fear I would have spent my entire life cowering here, never seeing the light of day!"

Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "You're too kind. My visit to Longhu County is both a blessing for you, Dragon King, and a blessing for me. By the way, why did you rush to have the Earth God deliver a message asking me to come here?"

The Dragon King of the Well gestured for him to enter: "Your Majesty, please come into the palace for a chat. I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Oh~" Lu Chen said suspiciously.
