From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 142 Everyone Can Be an Official

"Now we have Wu Mo, the [Official in Charge of Fire], who is calm and cautious, diligent and careful in his work, skilled in official documents and knowledgeable in petitions. Over the years, he has assisted the chief in drafting registers and handling petitions, working diligently without any slackening. Now he is appointed as the [Chief Registrar], responsible for recording all petitions from the foot of the mountain, signing petition seals, storing files, managing copies of the official seal, and overseeing all affairs within the office."

You Ming valued Wu Mo the most, so although he was only a ninth-rank official, this position was equivalent to the head steward of Yuanling Mountain, and he could manage everything.

The extent of his power depends entirely on how much support You Ming provides him.

As soon as You Ming finished bestowing the title, a beam of light flew out and landed on Wu Mo.

Wu Mo was originally dressed in a simple gray cloth robe, but now he was wearing a light blue square-collared official uniform with a pen-drawing jade pattern embroidered on the lapel and a divine seal branded on the side of the ink pouch at his waist.

He wore a small crown, his hair was neatly tied up, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes. The official pen in his hand had transformed into a magical artifact, shimmering with a faint light.

Wu Mo was originally ugly, his body as if it had been burned, but now he has transformed into a handsome man, looking like a refined scholar from the mundane world.

"Thank you, sir."

Wu Mo was filled with emotion. He was a lonely ghost, and if it weren't for the adults taking him in, he probably would never have had the chance to become a god in this lifetime.

Once you become a god, you are in a completely different world from the past.

Even if one's lifespan is exhausted, one will still have great blessings in the next life, and will surely be born into a royal family, or be endowed with spiritual roots, allowing one to embark on the path of cultivation.

His bow was sincere.

"【Lamp Guide】Cang Zhao'er, born of a rat spirit, possesses profound understanding of the unseen realms and guides the reincarnated souls. He works diligently and tirelessly. Now, he is appointed 【Assistant Soul Guide】, responsible for guiding souls and ensuring his name remains forever..."

As You Ming finished speaking, Cang Zhao'er's figure also changed.

Cang Zhao'er originally wore coarse cloth clothes, but after ascending to godhood, she changed to wearing a black short robe and skirt with three circles of spirit patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and wore velvet boots, walking silently.

A faint silver light flickered in its dark, gleaming eyes, as if capable of intimidating evil spirits.

Cang Zhao'er was naturally extremely grateful. They had been guarding the hamster family and watching over the warehouse for the gods for generations, but they had never had the chance to obtain a divine position.

She has only been here for a little over a year, and she has already ascended to godhood.

From this day forward, it's not just about bringing glory to our ancestors; the family genealogy will have a separate page starting with her.

You Ming also bestowed titles upon the others.

The Bed Goddess was appointed as the "Child-Protecting Master," the Barefoot Runner as the "Spirit Messenger of Wishes," and the Dream Fire Fox as the "Guardian of the Divine Office."

Actually, given that Yi Meng Huo Li was always sleeping and not doing anything productive, You Ming wouldn't have bestowed a divine title upon it.

But what can you do when someone's uncle is the City God?

If you promote others in the same batch but not give it a divine position, the City God will think you're trying to undermine it.

Besides, You Ming has a good relationship with the City God, so this guy is practically his junior.

……

With everything arranged and the gods returning to their duties, the incense smoke rose, and Yuanling Mountain finally entered a phase of high-speed operation.

Although You Ming had originally bestowed titles upon them, it was merely a name without any real power. But now, they are all ninth-rank deities, and the authority that comes with their divine positions allows them to mobilize more power.

That's precisely why You Ming was able to extricate himself from these trivial matters.

Only at this point did he begin to enjoy the freedom of being a leader.

The very next day, You Ming's true form burrowed into the underground cold pool. The Five Elements Water Suppression Platform trembled slightly, and the surrounding Five Elements Water Qi slowly entered his true form, adjusting his aptitude bit by bit.

At the same time, his mind became focused and his consciousness entered a meditative state. His Yin Spirit left his body like a wisp of light, slowly escaping from the top of his head and transforming into a half-human, half-fish Yin Spirit. A garment as thin as gauze, yet seemingly with starlight flowing within it, was draped over the wandering Yin Spirit, causing his body to quickly solidify.

In his mind, he roughly determined the location of Lifeng Ridge, and then five-colored light appeared all over his body, and a huge colorful cloud appeared.

In an instant, his body transformed into a rainbow and vanished from Yuanling Mountain in the blink of an eye.

This time, he was traveling as a spirit. Although he was not protected by a physical body and his spirit was more vulnerable, he was fortunate to have the [Outer Garment of Fetal Light], which gave him strength similar to that of a Dharma body.

Without the constraints of a physical body, he was able to unleash even greater power.

You Ming headed westward, his robes swaying gently, the clouds beneath his feet shimmering with five-colored light, like a rainbow leaping across the sky and sea.

The world was suddenly opened up.

The wind howled without a trace of hesitation. Mountains and rivers receded like ink splashed across a scroll, peaks and ridges shrank beneath his feet like feet, and the floating clouds were swept away, leaving a long trail, as if someone had wielded a brush from the sky to write down a breathtaking scene of ten thousand miles.

You Ming stood atop it, his figure as still as a mountain in the raging wind, yet he felt a sense of freedom and joy he had never experienced before.

"Without borrowing a flying sword or using a talisman, one can soar through the sky and traverse the earth simply by rising from the clouds... This is truly a divine being."

His mind was at ease, as if it could encompass the vast world, and his cultivation seemed to have improved somewhat.

You Ming was already traveling in his Yin spirit form, and riding on a five-colored treasure cloud, his speed was naturally extremely fast. Although the distance from Yuanling Mountain to Lifeng Ridge was more than half of Bingzhou, he arrived in just one hour.

Although Lifeng Ridge is called a "ridge," its terrain is actually quite complex, with undulating and staggered features.

Surrounding the area are broken valleys, desolate forests, and old roads with crumbling rocks, stretching for dozens of miles.

Youming flew through the air, looking down at the world, and all he could see were wind-eroded rocks, broken bridges and rotten wood.

The spiritual energy is extremely thin.

Because of this, there are no cultivation sects here, and even few intelligent demons. You Ming searched around but only found a few spider demons and centipede demons.

They couldn't even speak properly. You Ming wanted to ask for directions, but he was incoherent and couldn't express himself completely.

You Ming looked around, feeling somewhat worried.

The cultivator named Zhao Yiru only said that the fragments of the divine tree were in Lifeng Ridge, but he didn't say the specific location. In such a large area, where could one possibly search for them?

"How about... we try increasing our spirituality?"

You Ming suddenly had an idea. Zhao Yiru suggested sealing the divine tree to prevent its spiritual energy from leaking out.

But since the spiritual energy is so strong, even if it is sealed, there will still be some clues.

Perhaps by strengthening one's spirituality, one can gain some insight.

At that moment, You Ming manipulated the compass and used the cheat code [Equal Adjustment].

Appearance -3, Comprehension -2, Spirituality +5.

He originally had two points of spirituality, and after adding five, it instantly became seven points, breaking through the limit that a normal person could reach. His powerful spirituality seemed to merge with the world.

You Ming's stats are already quite impressive; he hasn't even used his Willpower and Luck stats yet.

Because after spiritual elevation, one may encounter various forms of pollution, requiring a strong will to resist them.

He has come here to search for treasure, and he needs a lot of good fortune to help him obtain it.
