Please control me, my divine being!

Li Qinghe, with a cold expression, stuck the torch into the mud.

The wooden board is quite large, with dark red lines interwoven to form intricate patterns.

Unfortunately.

Part of the design has been burned to ashes.

This was clearly done by practitioners of the Fa Sect.

Only with a complete altar can a ceremony be performed.

Everything here has been destroyed.

The remaining ritual diagrams were also defective and could not be used to communicate with any deities.

however,

Li Qinghe pulled the wood-chopping knife from his basket and, without hesitation, lightly sliced ​​the skin on the back of his hand.

Nourishing.

Blood trickled down his fingers and gathered at his fingertips.

"Ouch, that hurts! What are they doing?"

The girl cried out inwardly, but her body did not stop. She maintained a blank expression and used her finger as a pen to fill in the missing parts of the burned pattern.

The strokes on the diagram are crooked, yet they maintain a unique regularity and arrangement.

Without extensive practice and repeated drawing of instrument diagrams, it would be impossible to complete the work.

Even drawing straight lines is difficult.

However, the diagram drawn by Li Qinghe showed no error or deviation whatsoever.

Even a cultivator who has been immersed in this art for many years could not have drawn it as perfectly as she did.

The reason for this is naturally because Zhou Qing is in control.

Because after entering the cellar, the job system, which had never been used before, suddenly popped up on its own in the game interface.

The entire system is divided into three blank slots: the path, faith, and sacrifice.

Zhou Qing tapped on the first step of the path, and the game text immediately popped up.

[Currently owned item: Human broker's ledger - unlocks the cultivation path of the Human Broker, a street-smart martial arts sect]

Everything has its price, and everything can be traded. The broker uses a golden scale to weigh prices, and a black contract to exchange lives.

Should we include the "human slave trader's ledger"—a spiritual object found on the path of cultivation?

Zhou Qing placed the account book into the groove, and heard a click. The path lit up, and a thin ink line extended out.

Then there's the second empty slot, for faith.

Evil spirits wreak havoc in this world, and all beings suffer. Only by upholding faith and drawing upon the power of the divine can one achieve extraordinary things and embark on the path of enlightenment.

Currently selectable faiths:

The ways of the common people and the underworld —

Master Ya, the patriarch of brokers. (Job compatibility 90%, job success rate 0%)

King Scales, the god of worship for merchants. (Career compatibility 60%, Job success rate 0%)

The City Lord, a folk deity born from the bustling marketplace. (Job compatibility: 30%, Job success rate: 0%)

More...】

All three gods have a percentage of zero.

According to the game, the power of cultivators in the game world originates from various gods.

To embark on the path of cultivation and become a practitioner, one must have faith in a deity.

However, the few gods who were associated with the path of the Yaman did not seem to like him very much.

Let's not even talk about compatibility.

Can a 0% success rate really be considered an option?

Without religious faith, the entire inauguration process cannot proceed.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to select the "More" option.

It is obvious that no mortal deity is willing to accept it.

How can the gods bestow divine power without any effort?

But there's always a way out.

In a flash of inspiration, you decided that instead of relying on others, you should rely on yourself and create a completely new god.

This is after the game text.

Zhou Qing found that she had entered text in the "Faith" field.

Hmm, so you're going to create your own gods?

He recalled the deities from earlier—the Ya Gong, the Golden Scale Lord, and the City Lord.

Each one of them sounds very strange.

The name you create shouldn't be too unconventional.

After all, it's a non-existent god, so it's best to keep a low profile.

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

I typed two characters on the game interface: Qingzhu.

After entering your own name, the game interface becomes blurry.

Next, Zhou Qing discovered that the content he could edit and inject was incredibly dense.

Honored name, authority, function, prayer...

Creating a complete god in such a short time, isn't that asking too much of people?

Fortunately, after trying it, he found that he only needed to think of the name of the deity; the other fields were not required.

After entering 【青主】.

Within the space of faith, an oval-shaped golden badge slowly emerged and filled the groove.

The image above is a simple line drawing of a young man.

Although there are only a few strokes, based on the appearance and hairstyle, it is still possible to identify that this is Zhou Qing herself.

[The Azure Lord, a mysterious deity, possesses unknowable power. (Job compatibility?, 100% success rate in job selection)]

The job fit is unknown, but the success rate is 100%.

Great, as long as the process can continue.

After all, once the job application process begins, the "human slave ledger" placed along the way has already been used up.

If we stop now, we'll get nothing.

The path and faith have been completed; only one final step remains before successful inauguration: the sacrifice.

Sacrifice is a way for believers to communicate, make offerings, and pray to deities by setting up altars and performing specific rituals.

Current altar: Underground altar of the River God Temple.

Offerings: To be placed.

You still need to find offerings, right?

Changing jobs in this game is really troublesome.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment, and realized that the only thing that could be used as a sacrifice in the underground cellar of the River God Temple was the three charred humanoid monsters.

He immediately gave the order to move the three monsters to the center of the altar's ceremonial diagram.

In an instant.

The sacrificial ceremony began immediately.

The three empty slots that popped up in the career system have finally been filled.

Each groove glows with black light, and an ink line extends out. The three ink lines converge, like ink drops falling on paper, suddenly bursting open to reveal a traditional Chinese ink painting.

The entire scroll slowly unfolds.

Just like the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", this painting depicts the various aspects of daily life in the city.

Itinerant merchants, settled traders, fortune tellers, beggars, peddlers, laborers...

There are several hundred people in the painting.

People from all walks of life, young and old, men and women, create a bustling and vibrant scene of everyday life in the city.

In this ink painting, a figure dressed as a broker is illuminated and turned into color, making him extremely eye-catching.

The "Marketplace and Martial Arts World - The Broker" skill has been activated, granting access to the Broker's Path.

This sacrifice grants 3 points of divine power.

Current divine power: 3 points.

Zhou Qing's fingers touched the highlighted figure pattern.

[Please select to give to believers: blessing, trial, or divine revelation.]

Zhou Qing immediately chose to bestow blessings.

Then.

On the map of the bustling city and the underworld, a skill point allocation chart resembling a pyramid appears.

At the very bottom are countless tiny dots.

As he focused his attention, he clearly saw that these small dots represented basic attributes: strength, spirit, agility, comprehension, inspiration...

The next level connected to the smaller node is a node of a larger size.

[Common Skills: Keen Insight], [Common Skills: Eloquence], [Promotion]...

These larger nodes are clearly extraordinary abilities.

Only now did Zhou Qing understand the game's class system.

Players take on the role of a deity, gaining divine power through sacrifices to their game characters, and then adding stat points to their characters through "blessings."

Judging from the career system, players may be able to control more than one game character in the future.

Management simulation game!

However, Zhou Qing had no other options at the moment, so he unhesitatingly bestowed all three points of divine power upon Li Qinghe.

[Believer: Li Qinghe]

[Faith Level, One.]

[Blessing: Strength LV1, Spirit LV1, Inspiration LV1.]

[Common Skills: None]

The three dots below "Common Skills and Keen Insight" are exactly the attributes he prefers.

After all of them are lit up this time.

The next sacrifice will light up the major node, allowing you to truly obtain this mundane skill.
