From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 507 Prolonging Life and Promoting Fortune: The Righteous God of Heavenly Blessings
"When I was a lowly god, the deity helped me a lot. If the deity is reincarnated into my territory, I will do my best to assist the reincarnated deity in order to gain the greatest benefit in this chaotic world."

You Ming's expression turned serious as he spoke earnestly.

When he was first reincarnated, although he obtained the compass, the first cheat code was purely for auxiliary purposes and had no combat power whatsoever.

If it weren't for the Golden Boy God Lord elevating him to a divine position, he might have been eaten by a passing monster long ago.

"Of course I believe you."

“You Ming, I know you are a grateful person, so I plan to give you a big gift before I reincarnate.”

In fact, the Golden Boy God was only half-joking. He had known You Ming for so many years and naturally knew his temperament.

"No need for a gift..."

"Youming Tingfeng!"

Just as You Ming was about to decline, he suddenly heard the Golden Boy God take out a document from his bosom.

Upon hearing that he was to be granted an official title, You Ming was wide awake, and he completely forgot about any words of refusal.

"You Ming is in Yuanling County, where he prolongs life, protects life, nurtures and bestows blessings, and has made outstanding contributions. Now, he is specially promoted to the sixth rank [Prolonging Life and Promoting Blessings Heavenly God of Righteousness], in charge of the three powers of blessings, fortune, and vitality. His blessings will flow endlessly, his fortune will be inexhaustible, and his lifespan will be naturally generated."

This document was clearly written hastily; even the wording of the imperial edict was perfunctory.

However, as long as the divine position is real, that's fine.

After speaking, the document in Golden Boy God Lord's hand flew out, turning into a rainbow of light and landing on You Ming.

The official robe that You Ming was wearing had changed from its original light green color to dark green, and the patterns on it had become much more intricate.

At the same time, a deity with a human body and a fish tail vaguely appeared behind You Ming.

His appearance was basically the same as before, with a handsome face and compassionate eyes, except that at this moment, there was a golden wheel behind him.

The golden wheel turned slightly, and he could feel his consciousness expanding outwards as well.

It sounded as if countless copper coins were gently tapping together in my ears, producing a crisp sound.

Then, the sound became clearer and clearer, like a surging tide, coming from the most distant towns, markets, ports and villages in the mortal world.

He felt an unprecedented sense of rhythm, as if it were a flowing order.

Whenever people exchange goods, exchange money, sign contracts, or complete transactions, a faint ray of light merges into the depths of heaven and earth, and is then swept away by that invisible current.

And the destination of that trend is precisely the halo behind him.

You Ming stretched out his hand slightly and felt a faint light floating in his palm, which was neither gold nor wind.

If we had to give this force a name, it would probably be "fortune," which is a spiritual fluid woven from the emotions, wishes, blessings, and desires of countless people.

"This is... the Department of Finance?"

"Does our [Department of Fertility] also have this kind of authority?"

You Ming initially only had the power to give birth to children, which was his primary duty. Later, he was also given the power to care for children, which is completely understandable, since giving birth and caring for children are all part of the same sequence.

Later on, some duties related to "fate" were added to him. Although they looked a bit strange, they could still be considered related.

But now, after his promotion, he has gained the ability to control "wealth," which is completely unrelated to the [Department of Fertility]. Moreover, his current divine position is called "Prolonging Life and Promoting Fortune Heavenly God," and his divine title directly reflects the attribute of wealth. This means that his authority in granting children, bestowing blessings, and bestowing wealth is equal, rather than just touching upon a small part of the duties.

"The Department of Fertility does not have a Department of Finance, but our Empress does. I don't know why, but I feel that the Empress has been paying more attention to you lately. I've heard her mention you several times."

There was an undeniable hint of sourness in Golden Boy's words.

You Ming's heart stirred. He naturally knew that this was because he had been accepted as a disciple by the Taiwei Dao Master, so Bixia Yuanjun would naturally value him more.

However, because the Taiwei Dao Master forcibly modified this matter at the level of destiny, those whose rank has not reached the Golden Immortal level will have this matter directly deleted from their memory.

Unlike Ao Yun, Golden Boy God Lord had a special status, so he couldn't remember that You Ming had been accepted as a disciple by the Taiwei Dao Lord, and he had even completely forgotten that the two of them had traveled to the Milky Way and visited Mount Buzhou together.

"This humble god thanks Your Majesty and also thanks the Divine Lord."

You Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It feels so good to have connections. You can even change the divine position at will."

However, as one of the powerful figures in the Heavenly Realm, Lady Bixia indeed holds numerous divine positions. To her, the [Department of Fertility] is probably just like a small company she controls; she has countless such small companies under her control.

She even wields some authority over the Fighting Department and the Finance Department, two of the eight departments of the Heavenly Realm.

"Alright, my reincarnation is scheduled for September 13th this year. Remember to guide me to my next life. You have to choose a good family for me, and give me all sorts of blessings. I don't want to start from scratch."

The Golden Boy God's expression was somewhat complicated.

You know, I was doing just fine as a fifth-rank deity in the heavens, so why was I sent to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation?

We were born to enjoy life, how could we possibly live like this?

"I've got it."

Seeing the Golden Boy God's appearance, You Ming wanted to laugh, but he didn't want to provoke him too much, so he held back.

……

For You Ming, achieving the sixth-rank godhood was merely crossing a small, ordinary hurdle, a promotion of half a rank.

However, for the vast majority of deities, the leap from the seventh rank to the sixth rank is a huge one.

The vast majority of gods can only spend their lives in county towns or even lower-level places. Reaching the sixth rank means entering the ranks of prefectural officials.

"It's great that my luck has risen to 8 points; it's like my wishes are coming true."

As You Ming felt the constant flow of "fortune," he realized that it was no wonder people often said that wealth was like flowing water.

He can bestow wealth upon anyone at will, or he can take it away from them, making someone rich or poor at his whim.

You Ming had been preparing to manage Toad Heart Island properly recently, but suddenly he has been given the responsibility of "financial fortune," which saves him a lot of trouble.

After all, this is a world where idealism prevails in many ways. No matter how hard you work, if you don't have wealth and power, you may end up with nothing.

"Now that we have the power and responsibility for the financial fortune, we can start using that cheat code."

You Ming stroked his chin, lost in thought.
