From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 148 The Three Treasures of the Golden Boy God

You Ming followed behind the goddess to the plaza in front of the main hall. The plaza was surrounded by a vast expanse of water, and its shape resembled a fetus surrounded by amniotic fluid.

"I haven't asked this deity's name yet."

You Ming felt that this goddess had a gentle personality and always spoke with a faint smile, which made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

However, he felt that it would be a bit presumptuous of him to ask about the person's honorific title so he hesitated.

Just then, he suddenly heard a baby cry.

Suddenly, a beast resembling a Qilin but covered in fish scales leaped out of the water on one side, holding a red ribbon in its mouth, stepping on clouds, and surrounded by rosy light, and pounced towards You Ming's direction.

"You beast, how dare you be so insolent!"

You Ming was startled and subconsciously took a step back, but then he saw the goddess wave her hand, and rays of light appeared, directly slapping the monster back into the water, creating ripples.

"This is a black-scaled fish. It has always been mischievous and likes to play pranks on newcomers."

The goddess turned around and smiled gently at You Ming.

You Ming gratefully cupped his hands in greeting. He might be considered a big shot in Changning County, but in the Heavenly Realm, he couldn't even beat a pet fish.

"Come with me across the bridge, and stay close to me. Don't let that beast play tricks on you again."

The goddess nodded, and with a sway of her long dress, she stepped onto the cloud bridge on one side, with You Ming following closely behind.

"This is the Jade Recording Platform. The name of every pregnant woman in the world will appear here the moment she becomes pregnant..."

She was incredibly patient and led You Ming through the introductions one by one.

"Youming!"

"Why are you here?"

You Ming nodded. Everyone says that the gods in the heavenly realm are arrogant, but that's not really true. Such a powerful god explained things to someone as insignificant as him in such detail.

But just then, at the corner of a side corridor, the Golden Boy God emerged.

When he saw You Ming standing with this goddess, his eyes widened in surprise.

"God Lord!"

You Ming was pleasantly surprised. He had only met the Golden Boy God in the Department of Fertility. Seeing an acquaintance made him less nervous.

“Lord Jianhui, this little carp is my subordinate, so I will take him with me.”

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Golden Boy God, and he smiled at the goddess.

But for some reason, it always gives people a feeling of dryness.

You Ming wanted to greet the goddess, but Golden Boy God grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

"You brat, didn't I give you the guiding jade talisman? How did you end up getting involved with this woman?"

The Golden Boy God grabbed You Ming and ran off in a flash, disappearing from sight. Only when they were far away did he ask a question.

“I came up here by following the Kitchen God of our county through the ‘Path of Smoke Rising to the Clouds’ without using the Jade Talisman for guidance.”

You Ming looked somewhat embarrassed, but the feeling of being guided by the jade talisman was extremely uncomfortable.

"Stay away from that woman from now on, it's for your own good."

"Her name is Lord Jianhui, and she is in charge of the divine duty of [difficult childbirth]. She has a rather eccentric personality. Although she will not harm people, it is not good to be around her for too long."

The Golden Boy God didn't pursue the matter of why You Ming didn't take the proper channels, but simply offered an explanation. However, You Ming was somewhat puzzled by his words. Although every divine office has both positive and negative aspects, it's rare for a righteous god to directly hold a negative divine office.

"Actually, calling it a 'difficult birth' is not entirely accurate. She does not advocate disaster, but rather pursues the divine judgment of childbirth, which is 'not to force those who cannot be born' and 'to stop when it should be stopped'."

“She would forcibly terminate the pregnancy by causing complications during childbirth for some fetuses that were of incompatible races, born from consanguineous marriages, had conflicting destinies, or whose three souls were not in harmony, even at the cost of the lives of both mother and child.”

Although the Golden Boy God disliked this goddess, he did not actually belittle her.

You Ming nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

……

"You Ming, do you know why you were summoned to this Tianqing Ceremony?"

In the celestial realm, the rosy light shone gently, and the divine palaces stretched out like a painting. Several days remained until the grand Heavenly Celebration Ceremony, but already more and more deities could be seen converging on their respective temples.

Golden Boy God and You Ming stood on a high platform in the Department of Fertility.

"Although you now have a proper position, you are just a minor mortal god, insignificant among the countless gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court."

"Even among the countless gods and cultivators of the same rank and realm as you, you would probably be hard-pressed to rank among them."

The Golden Boy God-King spoke with a deep gaze.

You Ming nodded emphatically. He was well aware of this. He was just a minor god from the countryside. Not to mention compared to those prodigies, there were many disciples of major sects in the human world who were better than him.

After he visited the Heavenly Realm, he truly understood the vastness of the world.

Seeing You Ming's serious expression, the Golden Boy God was secretly pleased. He was worried that You Ming would become arrogant after learning that he had Bixia Yuanjun backing him up, which wouldn't be good.

"But you shouldn't underestimate yourself."

"Although many geniuses far surpass you in realm, magical power, and treasures, the event you are participating in is called the 'Shadow of the Great Dao,' which is only open to cultivators below the Dharma Aspect level. It simply assesses an individual's aptitude, mental state, and grasp of combat instincts, without considering magical power or magical treasures."

"Although you still don't have the upper hand in these areas, my requirement for you is that you can get into the top 1,000."

"And in the next few days, I will bring out my most treasured possessions to help you."

The Golden Boy God spoke earnestly to the little carp.

In the entire Celestial Realm, cultivators below the [Dharma Aspect] level are practically equivalent to the children's group in a certain large-scale competition.

However, given the sheer scale of the Tianqing Ceremony, even the children's group attracted considerable attention.

"In the path of cultivation, if one step is fast, every step will be fast. And vice versa."

Although the Golden Boy God has the appearance of a delicately carved child, he also has a certain majesty when he is serious at this moment.

You Ming sighed inwardly. Although the Divine Lord always said that he was born holy and did not know how to cultivate, the Divine Lord was still at a higher level. It was no problem for him to guide his cultivation from his superior position.

After speaking, the Golden Boy God took out a five-colored fruit, a bottle of jade marrow, and a jade slip.

"This is the Five-Colored Spiritual Fruit, which can increase divine sense and expand the spirit. You will consume it directly in a moment, and you must digest it before the ceremony begins."

"This jade marrow is the [Mysterious Bone Embryo Marrow Liquid]. You cultivate the water vein and are a carp that attained enlightenment, so your innate magical power is weak. This item can strengthen your magical power."

"As for this jade slip, it contains some powerful Dao shadows captured by cultivators and gods throughout history. You can memorize them whenever you have time. If you really can't comprehend your own Dao shadow, you can use the ones in this."

The Golden Boy God handed the jade slip to You Ming, quietly lowering his voice.
