"So it's Lord Long Fei."

Moria gracefully bowed with his hand on his chest, looked Ling Feng up and down, and said with a smile, "We should visit each other more often in the future, since we are neighbors."

"sure."

Ling Feng returned the greeting with a cupped hand, but the man was indeed overly enthusiastic. There was no reason for him to be so hospitable, so Ling Feng still felt a bit wary of this Moria.

While the two were talking, Della and Number 27 both consciously stepped aside.

Even the seatless gods are clergy, and they have no right to interrupt conversations between "gods".

Just then, several more streaks of light flew in from different directions of the core palace.

"Haha, Moria, you're quick on your feet!"

A loud voice rang out, and the newcomer was as tall and strong as an iron tower, with bronze skin, bulging muscles, wearing only a simple leather armor, carrying a giant axe the size of a door on his back, and exuding an aura as hot and violent as molten lava.

"My name is Serik, number 21. You're a new kid, and you look pretty sturdy! You can spar with me sometime!"

The burly man walked straight up to Ling Feng, and with each step he took, it seemed as if the ground itself was gently swaying.

"Selek, you big guy, don't scare the new friends."

Another gentle female voice rang out, and a beautiful woman in an ice-blue dress stepped through the air and landed in front of Lingfeng Palace. She bowed gracefully to Lingfeng and said, "Newcomer, my name is Aisha, number 26. Welcome to the core layer."

Ling Feng nodded in greeting. These people were all first-level clergy members numbered in the twenties. Although in the Silent Domain, the number did not fully represent strength, the earlier the number, the longer they had been there.

The divine aura here is so strong that, given that everyone here is a first-level deity, the longer one spends cultivating and comprehending the essence of their divine office, the greater their strength will increase.

Therefore, the earlier the number appears, the more it can represent strength to some extent.

Immediately afterwards, several more figures arrived, their auras sometimes strange, sometimes ethereal, sometimes heavy, and without exception, they were all first-level clergy of the core level!
“Number 22, Lilith.”

"Number 24, Gru."

"..."

Ling Feng had only been at the mansion for a short while when almost all the seatless gods after the 20th had arrived.

Besides greeting each other, they probably also want to see how good they are as a newcomer.

After all, those clergy who can enter the core area are all potential "competitors".

Seeing so many people gathered in front of his door, Ling Feng shook his head and smiled wryly, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you all for coming to my residence. Please come inside and have a chat."

As he spoke, he turned back to Number 27 and said in a deep voice, "Number 27, you lead the way."

Come to think of it, I've never even been inside myself.

"Okay, master!"

Number 27 nodded, then skipped and hopped ahead to lead the way.

Looking at the petite figure of number 27, Naserik couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Longfei, you like this kind of loli type?"

"Ahem... Actually, the image of number 27 is randomly generated."

"Oh, really? Hehe..."

Ling Feng's forehead went black. This guy must think that Number 27's appearance was designed according to his own preferences, and judging from his expression, he didn't believe his explanation at all...

Forget it, let him be.

"Ignore this sleazy guy."

Aisha rolled her eyes at Serik, who pouted but restrained himself a bit.

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened slightly; it seemed the relationship between the two of them was rather unusual.

However, compared to Elsa, Serik and Elsa seemed more open and straightforward, while Moria, who arrived first, although he appeared polite, gave off a sinister and cold feeling, and a very deep sense of cunning.

The next moment, led by Number 27, the group arrived at the main hall.

The intelligent mechanical beings within the mansion quickly brought out tea and refreshments to entertain the guests, which was quite convenient.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we finally got down to business.

Moria asked, seemingly casually, "Brother Longfei, you're new here. What are your thoughts on the seating arrangement challenge a year from now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Ling Feng; this was the question they cared about most!
Ling Feng smiled and slowly said, "The top ten divine thrones possess unfathomable power. I am not one to overestimate my abilities. You are all outstanding individuals of the first-level divine office. If you have not yet succeeded, how could I dare to humiliate myself?"

"Brother Longfei, there's no need to belittle yourself."

Serikron laughed and said, "The seating arrangement challenge doesn't have any first-come-first-served rule. In the end, strength comes first. You've only just arrived here, so you probably don't know yet, but every Level 1 Cleric who enters the core area can receive Source Dust for free every month in the first year. Your true potential will be revealed in this first year."

"If you can increase the integration rate of the original divine authority to over 95% within a year, you can be considered a seed player in our core area who is truly qualified to challenge for the seat."

"95%?"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly. He remembered that when he was tested, his divine fusion level was only about 90%.

Sigh, it seems I'm still a bit too low!
"good."

Seeing Ling Feng's slightly embarrassed expression, Serik immediately became beaming and said, "I, Serik, have been in the Silent Domain for thirteen years now, and my divine fusion level has reached 88%! Hmph, among the first-level clergy after serial number 20, that's the highest."

Next, Aisha, Gru, Lilith, and others also reported their fusion rates, which were mostly around 80% to 85%.

Morris, on the other hand, actually reached 87%, just a little short of Berequent.

"By the way, Brother Longfei, what's your fusion level now?"

Serik smiled broadly, “Generally speaking, the fusion level can increase by about 10% in the first year. If your fusion level is already above 70% when you first arrive, then that’s already excellent.”

"Forehead……"

Ling Feng paused, scratched the back of his head, and didn't know what to say.

"You rascal, you're still hiding things!"

Serik raised his large hand and patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, laughing heartily, "Don't be embarrassed, even if it's below 70%, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't overtake others in the later stages..."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled wryly, "Brother Serik, my fusion rate seems to be... cough cough, 90%?" "90%, haha, that's not low..."

As Serik spoke, his eyelids suddenly twitched. "What? 90%?"

If someone gets 90% right away, what about someone who trained hard for 13 years and barely reached 88%?
Is he capable of enduring hardship?

"Cough cough..." Serik's expression turned somewhat strange, and the other clergymen all stared at Ling Feng.

"Long Fei...cough cough..."

Serik, who had been calling everyone "brother," suddenly seemed a bit insecure. "Um... you didn't see that wrong, did you? 90%?"

Ling Feng immediately took out the badge issued from the testing hall, infused it with a wisp of divine power, and the badge directly unfolded a holographic screen.

The information recorded above clearly showed that Ling Feng's divine fusion level had reached an astonishing 90%!

"Good heavens! You're my brother!"

Serik scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Brother Fei, you started with 90% fusion. In a year, won't you be heading towards 100%?"

Ling Feng replied modestly, "Thank you for your kind words. I am new here and need the guidance of all the seniors."

After saying that, he had a thought, and his palm flashed with light. Hundreds of Fangus crystals, which emitted pure energy fluctuations, immediately floated up from his palm.

"A small gift, nothing more."

With a flick of his finger, Ling Feng sent these priceless Fangos crystals flying precisely to each of the first-level clergy present.

Everyone gets a share; no one is left out.

The group took the Fangges crystals, and saw that these Fangges crystals were crystal clear, full of energy, and were obviously the best of the best!

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I hope you will not hesitate to offer your guidance."

Ling Feng smiled slightly. He had a good grasp of interpersonal relationships!
"Brother Fei, that's a real friend!"

Serik wasn't ashamed at all; he was just a little brother a moment ago, and now he's become Brother Fei.

He patted his chest and laughed loudly, "If you ever need anything, just come find me in Hall 21. This is my identification code; contact me anytime! Whether it's a fight or a treasure hunt, I, Serik, will definitely lend a hand!"

The others followed suit, leaving their identification codes for future contact.

Moria carefully accepted the crystal Ling Feng had given him, his eyes gleaming even brighter. He hadn't expected this newcomer to be so wealthy.

Ling Feng shrugged. He had taken over 70% of the Fangus crystal inventory of the Longze family's Crystal Energy Bank. This amount of Fangus crystal was just a drop in the ocean for him.

It's perfect for winning favors.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid of these people coveting his wealth, as he had two powerful backers: the Amaterasu Throne and the Starry Sky Throne.

If they did a little research, they probably wouldn't dare to have any wicked thoughts.

With Ling Feng's generous gift, the atmosphere of the subsequent conversation became much more harmonious.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Feng discreetly gathered information about the Clergy, including their rules, factions, and secrets.

Ling Feng pretended to be curious and inquired, but in reality, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could find out any information about himself and Yu Bingqing, the two "visitors from outer space".

Unfortunately, Ling Feng didn't want to bring it up, and these people didn't seem to know about it either.

After talking for a while, Ling Feng didn't get any particularly valuable information.

Although somewhat disappointed, Ling Feng knew he couldn't be impatient at this moment.

Anyway, I've already successfully infiltrated the clergy, I can find an opportunity to inquire about it later.

"correct."

Suddenly, Serik thought of something and said, "Brother Fei, with your talent, if you plan to challenge the top ten Gods a year from now, you could challenge the tenth-ranked Goddess of the Stars. Among the top ten Gods, the Goddess of the Stars is the most gentle. If you challenge her and lose, you won't be seriously injured. Moreover, being able to fight against a God-level expert will give you some experience in challenges."

As he spoke, he patted his chest with immense pride, "I've challenged the Star Goddess a few times, and I'm somewhat acquainted with her. If I have some free time in the future, I can introduce you to the Star Goddess!"

"Oh? Really?"

Ling Feng raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, secretly amused, but he didn't say anything. He simply nodded and said calmly, "Then thank you!"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Serik laughed heartily before saying, "It's getting late, Brother Fei, so we'll take our leave now!"

"Farewell!"

……

After seeing off those "neighbors" in the core area, Ling Feng originally thought he could have a period of quiet cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the second-level clergy from the Central District came to visit one after another, all bringing gifts.

Ling Feng accepted all the gifts without hesitation. After receiving the gifts, he also distributed some Fangos Crystals, which immediately made these second-level priests extremely grateful.

Despite being clergy, their wealth is nowhere near that of the major families in the upper city.

Especially strategic materials like Fangus crystals!
As a second-level clergyman in the Central District, the monthly ration is no more than three Fangus Crystals!
Compared to the prices in the upper-level area, three coins are not a small amount, but who would complain about having too many of these?
Ling Feng threw out dozens of top-grade Fangges crystals in one go, no wonder they were so excited.

On the third day, as expected, third-level clergy from the outer ring area also came to visit.

Ling Feng was not stingy either; he gave ten Fangus Crystals to any Level 3 Cleric who came to visit him.

Building good relationships with these clergy members first will make it much easier to gather information in the future.

Thus, in just a few days, apart from the first-level clergy ranked above number 20 in the core area whom Ling Feng had not yet met, most of the other clergy had already made a deep impression on this generous "Brother Fei".

Two more days passed. Ling Feng, who had been vaguely worried, was concerned that Wu Zhao, the first god-seat mentioned by Long Ze Li Yue, seemed to be paying extra "attention" to him. He was worried that the other party might do something.

But for several days in a row, there seemed to be no other activity.

Soon enough, the supplies allocated by the Clergy to the seatless gods were delivered.

This includes "Source Dust," which is highly regarded by Sariel and other first-level clergy. (End of Chapter)
