From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 230 I Have a Pool of Creation

【The Dark Mother】, shrouded in tattered divine light, darted madly towards the deepest part of Yin Mountain like a slanting dark current.

The depths of Yinshan were equally dangerous for her, filled with countless gods who devoured people without spitting out their bones.

Once captured by those gods, the outcome won't be much better.

But she could die at any moment, so she couldn't care less about that now.

At this moment, she was filled with regret. Why did she have to come out and flaunt herself? For the sake of a "egg-swallowing bird father," she ended up losing her life.

She moved incredibly fast, and instead of fleeing in a straight line, she seemed to be traversing through layers of darkness.

It's as if we're jumping between different dimensions and misaligned time and space.

At the same time, her figure was divided into countless shadows by the mist, each layer intertwined and twisted, seemingly real yet also illusory.

Then a large swath of black mist emanated from her divine body, like ink splashed across the heavens and earth, heavy and thick.

Just like an octopus spewing out a large cloud of ink to confuse the enemy when it tries to escape.

These methods are layered, extremely complex, and extremely cunning.

But this is precisely where the [Dark Mother] is most powerful. Once she tries to escape, even if you are several levels stronger than her, it will be very difficult to catch her.

However, You Ming did not move, his gaze only following the true form of [Dark Mother].

Under the [Battle Vision], no matter how the opponent disguises themselves, he can see their true identity at a glance.

"Cut off the source...sever it!"

You Ming lightly raised his fingertips, as if his palm had traversed countless voids at that moment, and then struck down with a seal.

"boom."

The void ahead suddenly exploded, and the divine realm where [Dark Mother] was hiding shattered instantly, as if an eggshell had burst open.

The Dark Mother screamed in shock and anger, struggling to emerge from within, but before she could utter a sound, all her power collapsed, leaving only a faint trace of her spirituality, which was about to vanish into the illusion.

"seal up!"

The City God arrived just in time. Seeing the glimmer of spirit, he looked directly at it, wielding his golden ruler to suppress evil, and brought it down heavily.

In an instant, golden runes appeared in the void, connecting to form chains that directly sealed off the spiritual energy.

This is the [Forbidden God Altar].

Even if a deity is utterly destroyed, as long as a trace of its spirit remains, it can be resurrected in the future.

Only by sealing away its spiritual essence and slowly eroding it can it be completely killed.

"This...you fought too fiercely this time, expanding your territory by a thousand miles in one fell swoop. With the strength of our Changning Prefecture, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend it."

When the City God saw the devastation of the Yinshan Mountains stretching for thousands of miles, he felt both joy and sorrow.

The good news is that they have expanded such a large territory in one go that it will probably be enough for the next few hundred years.

The worry is that such a large area of ​​land is constantly threatened by the forces of Yinshan, and the noise Youming makes might disturb the old guys deep in Yinshan.

With the current strength of Changning Prefecture, it would be absolutely difficult for them to defend it.

To defend the land, a few strong individuals are not enough; a large population is also needed.

He needs at least hundreds of thousands of people to keep migrating here before he can be confident that he can hold onto this land.

Otherwise, they would have to give up most of the land here.

You Ming naturally understood the City God's thoughts. It was about the population. But which god in the world didn't lack people? No one was willing to relocate the people under their jurisdiction to others.

How much incense offerings will this cause to be lost?

You Ming had no choice; the total population of his jurisdiction was less than 50,000, so there was no way for them to migrate here.

"However, such a large territory cannot be wasted. I will relocate all the slaves from the [Slave Management Bureau] here, and then purchase some slaves from other city gods to fill this area."

The City God sighed, but there was nothing he could do but try to occupy as much territory as possible. You Ming had also thought this matter was troublesome, but when he heard the City God mention the "Earth Slaves," a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.

That's right! The "Earth Slaves," also known as the "Deified People," are man-made beings, but they are also living beings and can produce offerings.

Even in many of the great temples of the heavens, a vast number of "divine people" are kept to provide incense offerings.

"Lord City God, how about we make a deal?"

You Ming suddenly laughed; he knew how to resolve the current predicament.

"I have a pool of creation."

He spoke slowly, and the City God suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The City God, who always presented himself as composed, suddenly lost his composure.

……

That's right, Youming has a [Creation Pool].

It was a gift given to him by Bixia Yuanjun when he built his grotto-heaven.

The Creation Pool can continuously create divine beings, as long as you have enough divine power and incense offerings.

Even for a fifth-rank deity like the Golden Boy God, a pool of creation is an extremely precious and rare item. In the mortal realm, it would be priceless and unavailable.

Let alone an eighth-rank deity like You Ming, many third-rank deities don't even have the means to acquire one.

This is why the City God was so surprised to learn that You Ming possessed the Pool of Creation.

However, he dared not be greedy. Everyone knew that the little carp had a powerful background, and anyone who dared to covet the Pool of Creation would be slapping the face of Bixia Yuanjun.

However, not coveting the Creation Pool doesn't mean you can't use it.

"Your Majesty, you know this as well."

"Even if the Creation Pool creates the most intelligent and weakest Divine Being, it still consumes a wisp of divine power."

"If we want to create a divine being that is comparable to or slightly inferior to humans, it will take a hundred strands of divine power."

"How about this, we split the expenses 20/80, I'll pay 20, and you pay 80?"

You Ming looked at the City God with a smile. He had had the Creation Pool for some time, but he had never created any Divine People. It was because this thing consumed too much energy.

Even if you create one or two deified people, it's better not to create them at all.

But if you build too many, it's hard to recoup the costs.

Those great gods in the heavens also accumulated their vast numbers over a long period of time.

"I'm six, you're four."

Although the City God was tempted, he felt that You Ming's allocation was too unreasonable.

After all, the divine beings created were also handed over to You Ming to manage; he only needed these divine beings to occupy this land for him.

“In that case, let’s bring the River God into the group as well. The River God and I will each contribute 25%, and the City God will contribute 50% of his divine power.”

"The final distribution of the incense offerings will be split 40% between you and me, and 20% between the River God and me."

You Ming thought about it and realized that it was impossible for him to use 40% of his divine power. He himself had also left the Creation Pool, and without his own Creation Pool, everything would be in vain.

The City God's brows relaxed.

Although he ultimately received less incense offerings, he valued the amount of land he owned more.

He would accept a lower share of the incense offerings as long as he could occupy more land.

"I think this allocation method is good. I'll talk to the River God about it later."

The City God nodded, and the two of them temporarily settled on this plan.
