Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

The moonlight, carrying a fragrant breeze, instantly entered Chu Ci's nostrils.

"Huh! What are you doing?" Chu Ci was startled by this scene.

Don't move yet.

Without saying a word, Eli reached out and placed a hand on Chu Ci's chest.

In an instant, the soft moonlight enveloped Chu Ci, and the surrounding sea of ​​flowers shone with dazzling brilliance.

This force was not malicious; in fact, it even carried a hint of warmth. The silvery moonlight appeared cold and clear, yet it made one feel as if they had returned to their mother's womb, bringing a sense of peace.

But before long, the moonlight slowly faded away.

Eli withdrew her hand and looked at Chu Ci with some confusion.

"Hmm? Is there a problem?"

Chu Ci snapped out of her reverie and looked at Eli in front of her.

[Strange, I sensed a power of rules within you? But that's something only a demigod could do, and you're not even a king-level being yet. Logically, this should be absolutely impossible.]

Eli, still somewhat unwilling to give up, circled around Chu Ci twice more.

It should be noted that when a King-level expert undergoes a life leap, the power around their body transforms into a special magnetic field that covers all directions, known as a domain.

Only those at the Saint rank who can glimpse the core essence of the world and comprehend its rules can mobilize the power of the rules known as the underlying logic of the world.

However, to incorporate the rules into one's own body, construct one's own world, and use it at will, that is the realm of a demigod.

In her time, there were examples of Saint-level prodigies who forcibly incorporated the rules into their bodies and successfully survived. However, the problem was that the physical strength of those Saint-level prodigies was far greater than that of Chu Ci now!

It's like trying to put an entire ocean into a small water glass—it seems impossible, right? Yet, the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) managed to do just that.

"Um... could you please stop staring at me like that? You know, being stared at like that by someone like you, a god, puts a lot of pressure on me, okay?"

Chu Ci's lips twitched slightly.

Eli, however, didn't seem to care and even moved closer to her, the two almost touching.

No wonder His Majesty wanted me to stay by your side; there are indeed many things about you that I don't understand. But then again, his vision extends far beyond what I can see.

After saying that, Eli distanced himself again.

This left the Chu Ci completely bewildered.

Why does this guy sound like he's trying to cling to me? No, you're a god! And who is this Your Majesty?

Wait a minute? Since Eli fused with the Heart of the Astral Plane to reshape this body, could it be that the phantom in the Star God Peak Secret Realm is the Your Majesty she spoke of?!

I'm good!

Even a god respects him so much, I didn't say anything bad about him back then, did I?

Um, I think I made a few comments about him.

But he can't hold a grudge, can he?

Chu Ci now feels that she was lucky to have survived that secret realm.

At that moment, Eli's voice came again.

【However, although Your Majesty wants me to stay by your side, I cannot abandon the people here. I hope you can give me some time to properly settle them. As compensation, I will give you this.】

As she spoke, to Chu Ci's astonishment, she raised her hand and waved it gently.

The bright moonlight lifted the majestic temple, and then the light transformed into a silver-white blade that cleaved it in two!

The palace, which was clearly built entirely with Saint-level materials, was easily shredded like tofu by the power of the gods.

The shock was beyond words for Chu Ci. After all, Eli, as the moon god, was not a god who was particularly good at fighting. If it were one of those beings who were skilled in battle, how strong would they be?

Here, you can keep this half for now.

Eli dragged half of the palace to the front of Chu Ci.

At that moment, the system's voice also sounded.

[Ding! 217 Moonlit Jade Detected. Add to system inventory?]

Gollum~

Chu Ci shakily clicked "confirm," and half of the palace instantly disappeared before his eyes.

Despite this, the shock in his heart had not subsided.

Of course, this wasn't because of Eli's immense strength, but because the other party was giving him just too much!

Because the item was too large, the system divided the palace's basic material, Moonlit Jade, into 217 portions.

But how much is one of those portions? It's a full 10 tons!!!

"Sis, from now on you're my sister! If you tell me to go left, I'll never go right!"

Chu Ci immediately knelt down in submission.

What is the power of money? This is the power of money!

What? You're saying I have no backbone? If someone threw a hundred million dollars in your face right there, would you yell at them for littering?

You call me materialistic? That's ridiculous. There's an old saying in the Federation: "Discretion is the better part of valor."

In any case, Chu Ci now understands once again the true value of the idiom "rich and willful".

Goodness gracious, that's enough to exchange for so many Mainland Currencies!

【Hmm? What's wrong? I haven't given you what I wanted yet; that half of the palace was just unusable materials.】

Eli looked down at Chu Ci, who was chuckling to himself, with a puzzled expression.

What?! There's more?!

Bathed in moonlight, half of the palace compressed and contracted, eventually coalescing in Eli's hand into a silver necklace in the shape of a full moon, with a faint divine radiance flashing across it, but it was quickly put away.

Eli gently landed on the ground with the necklace in his hand and handed it to Chu Ci.

[This moon jade was hastily crafted by me, and given the limited materials available, I can only upgrade it to the Rule level. Upgrading it to the next level is unlikely, but it should be sufficient for your current needs.]

Chu Ci reached out and took it, and the system notification sounded suddenly.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Rule-level item—Moon Goddess Jade!]

This item contains the authority of the moon goddess; it will automatically protect its owner when you are in extreme danger.

[At the same time, you will be protected by the purifying power of the Moon Goddess, and negative effects of the Rule level and below will not affect you.]

Unaffected by negative effects? That doesn't sound very useful, does it?

Chu Ci glanced at his Illusory Shadow skill, which could dispel all negative effects on himself after use; it was one of his divine skills.

At that moment, a system notification sound rang out.

[Ding, please understand one thing: your current level is insufficient to manipulate the rules. You have not made a leap in power and life force, and your skills are therefore affected. If you are controlled by a rule-level negative effect, the dispelling effect of Illusory Shadow will be nullified.]

Um... okay, I guess I'm just too bad at the game.

Without further thought, Chu Ci equipped himself with the Moon Goddess Jade.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have received the blessing of the Moon Goddess's purifying authority.]

Special Effect: Saintess's Blessing (Restores 1% of maximum health per second)

The Moon Goddess's Blessing (Negative effects of Rule-level and below are ineffective.)

In the special effects section, the Moon Goddess's Blessing immediately appears after the Saintess's Blessing.

Then Eli's voice rang out again.

[I apologize, I am not a warlike god, and this item may not be of much help to you. However, in my opinion, you will inevitably travel to some dangerous places in the future, where the environment is not as peaceful as in "God's Realm." This purifying power should be able to lend you a hand.]

[But rest assured, once things are settled in Holy Moon City, I will follow this full moon to find you. At that time, I will serve by your side as Your Majesty instructed.]

Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed.

Giving money and such powerful props, she's practically a super rich woman!

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can do it at your own pace." Chu Ci waved his hand and said quickly.

The two then talked about the City of the Dead Moon and the Moon Blood Bead.

According to Eli, the plan for divine creation was not only being undertaken by the people of Dead Moon City, but also by other powerful individuals.

Although I don't know that person's identity, judging from the power he used, he should also be a fallen familiar, although their powers seem to be slightly different.

Fallen followers? Doesn't that refer to the fallen church?

Slightly different from the power used by the City of the Dead Moon? Perhaps only those few in the City of Sin could do that…
