Deities: Rulers of Nature

If you were to ask Ji Xuan what the difference was before and after he mastered the divine power of plants, the most obvious difference would be in the consumption of divine power.

Before mastering the relevant fields and divine duties, demigods like Ji Xuan used divine power to manipulate the rules of the void realm and then simulate them when performing related divine arts. This process was not only cumbersome but also consumed a lot of divine power.

Just like the divine spell related to seawater that Li Tong used back then, despite its considerable power, he could only use it a few times in total.

Having mastered the divine authority of plants, Ji Xuan essentially possessed the key to this rule. In the future, when casting divine spells related to plants, what originally required five points of divine power will now only require one point to achieve the same effect.

This was only because Ji Xuan possessed the plant domain from the beginning; otherwise, the divine power he consumed would have been even greater.

Another benefit is that Ji Xuan is able to grant believers access to the plant realm through the Faith Thread.

They only need to consume mental energy or blood energy to directly cast level 1-3 plant magic.

Of course, Ji Xuan did not open it directly to all believers, but rather treated it as a benefit, which is currently only available to those within the temple system.

Pope, High Priest, Cardinal, Bishop, Priest, Monk – this is the current hierarchy of temple personnel as defined and established by the Qingdao Society.

One of the core indicators in this system is the level of faith in Ji Xuan.

For example, in order to become a bishop, in addition to various achievements, one must at least be a devout believer.

This is essentially a civilian rank system. As for the combat personnel of the temple guards, their numbers are not large at present, and there are no particularly outstanding leaders. Therefore, Qinglu's opinion is to keep it unchanged for the time being and refer to the cultivator rank.

The only exception is Crimson, who, as the King of Shioyama, is also entitled to visit the plant realm.

As for the increase in divine value and divinity, it was all within Ji Xuan's expectations. What truly surprised Him was the soil domain.

Whether it was due to the environment He was in at the time, the help of the natural oak tree, or the activation of the soil rules during the process of plant divinity, Ji Xuan did indeed master the second domain.

Just like in the plant realm before, given the opportunity, Ji Xuan can use this as a starting point to condense the divine authority of soil.

As a subordinate position to the Earth God, the Soil God has considerable potential, and the divine spells it brings are quite practical.

To put it simply, with the divine authority over plants and the domain of soil, Ji Xuan could bring a great harvest to Golden Village even without expending divine power.

This led Ji Xuan to think of a new divine office: the divine office of agriculture. Compared to the divine offices of nature and earth, this seemed to be closer to Him.

"Bishop Kadia, my youngest son has suddenly developed a high fever that won't go down even after taking medicine. Please help me take a look."

In the center of the underground village, a newly built church stands.

A female Spider-Man, holding a baby Spider-Man in her arms, ran anxiously to Kadia.

The little Spider-Man in her arms had fallen into a coma, its eight spider legs drooping limply, and even its body surface had turned from white to a pale pink.

In her haste, she instinctively reached for the word "Matriarch," but then realized she should address him as "Bishop."

"Don't panic, Kabas. Put the child down first. I'm here, Kyloen will be fine." Kadia's voice was gentle, which soothed Kabas's emotions.

Kabess carefully placed Kylohn on the stone chair, and only then did her tense body relax.

In that earth-shattering battle, Cabes's spouse, eldest son, second son, third daughter, and fourth daughter all died one after another. If she hadn't been pregnant at the time, she probably wouldn't have had the will to live.

Therefore, Cabes truly cherishes Kylohn as if he were her own precious jewel.

"Kabas, we now live in the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm. We have gods who protect us, divine magic that can heal, and medical techniques we learned from the Snake People... Don't worry, everything will be alright." Before treating Kairon, Kadia comforted Kabas again.

In the Right Bank Caverns, a high fever could indeed kill a little Spider-Man.

Whenever she encountered a similar situation, Kadia would devoutly praise Kigen.

As Kadia closed her eyes, an invisible spiritual force began to spread outward, enveloping Kylohn's body. As the spiritual force penetrated deeper, Kylohn's physical condition clearly appeared in Kadia's mind.

A moment later, Kadia opened her eyes, and with her right hand she condensed a ball of green light, which she then pressed into Kylohn's chest.

"Bishop Cardia, how is Caroline?" Kabess asked.

Kabais recognized the divine spell Kadia had cast: Wood Healing, which could replenish a large amount of life force in a short time. It was more effective than mild healing spells in restoring injuries or improving physical condition.

"It's not an illness, it's a good thing." After withdrawing her hand, Kadia explained to Kabas, "Kylon's bloodline has awakened. This process consumes a lot of energy. The reason why Kylon had a high fever and fell into a coma is because all the nutrients in his body were given priority to his bloodline."

"Thank you." After figuring out what had happened, Kabas breathed a sigh of relief and didn't forget to thank Kadia.

"It's what I should do. Take good care of him when you get back," Kadia said, waving her hand.

Kylohn has shown remarkable talent at such a young age, having awakened an extremely rare bloodline. With proper training, he should be able to become a pillar of the Snowdrop Spidermen.

Because of the Kester incident, Kadia examined Kylohn extremely carefully and confirmed that it was not a mutation of the Bloodthirsty Spider bloodline.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Their clan has only had one exception so far, Kester. How could a second one appear so easily?

As Cabas carried Kylohn home, she was also marveling at the changes in Kadia. The original Kadia, as the matriarch, although she would not bully ordinary spider-men, her status and strength were such that ordinary spider-men dared not get close to her, nor could they get close to her.

Now that Kadia has become a bishop, she has an innate amiable quality, and her whole demeanor has softened. Even ordinary spider-men like them can come to the church for help.

That's bronze tier! Back when we were still in the Dark Caverns, who would dare to do that?

On the other side, watching Kabas walk away, Kadia returned to her original spot and continued to flip through a book.

That was the newly compiled Natural Bible of Seido. Compared to the first edition of the stone tablets that looked like murals, the Bible, written in Yoru script, contained a wide range of contents, even including Spider-Man.

This is already the fifth edition. Each of the bishops, including Kadia, has a copy, both to allow them to review it again and to see if there are any problems, and also to facilitate their preaching in the new church.

"I wonder if Carlos and I will ever be worthy of being written into the Bible of Nature." Kadia's thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
