Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 143 Banning
"Two quarters and six."

"Junior Brother Yuan, this person's true scripture is far more powerful than ours." In front of the Purple Lotus Temple, a goddess teased Yuan Zhong, whose face was ashen.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhong snorted coldly: "It's just a Spiritual Divine Scripture. What's the use of it being well-written? The path to enlightenment is still long."

Sarcastic remarks were made.

The celestial beings surrounding the mountain below gasped in surprise once more.

"It's been two quarters and seven seconds! My God, in the last fifty years, I have never heard of a divine scripture in the River Drum Heaven that can be burned and recited for so long."

"Who exactly is this extraordinary person who has attained godhood?"

“What Brother Zhili said earlier is indeed true. It is truly heaven’s help for us. If we can become the attendants of this venerable god, our future will be limitless.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhili laughed heartily, and under the influence of the spirit wine, he began to ramble incoherently:
"Everyone, you may not believe it, but before I came here, I had a premonition that my opportunity lay not with the Wondrous Response Spirit God, but with this Venerable God. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

"Zhang Zhili, others are proclaiming godhood, why are you jumping around like this? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was your father who was proclaiming godhood!" Zhong Ping couldn't take it anymore.

"You!" Zhang Zhili choked on his own words.

Zhong Ping ignored him and instead looked around for Su Xintang.

While searching, he kept asking the people around him, "Have you seen Su Xintang?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shenyou immediately sneered, "Zhong Ping, stop looking. Do you think everyone is her master? She can't enter the realm of this Venerable God!"

Zhong Ping frowned, but he couldn't argue, because Lu Shenyou was right.

But at that moment, Hong Shuang suddenly asked in confusion, "How come I remember that Senior Brother lives here?"

"What do you mean?" Zhong Ping was taken aback.

"Heh~~ Hahahahaha..." Zhang Zhili burst out laughing instantly, and said sarcastically, "Hongshuang, you don't think that Suxintang was allowed into the Sleeping Realm just because she is a neighbor of this Venerable God, do you?"

“If you ask me, it’s good to let them in. Let them see how others compete for the sacrificial offerings. The most painful feeling in this world is being able to watch but not be able to eat,” Lu Shenyou added.

"Hahahahaha..."

Just as they were laughing, someone else exclaimed, "It's already two quarters of an hour! Good heavens!"

One sentence silenced the celestial beings.

The gods of the Purple Lotus Temple could no longer stand still and floated over one after another, looking closely and calculating the duration as "two quarters and eight seconds," a sight unseen for a hundred years.

Beside the palanquin outside the Zheng Shen Mansion, Cui Ying, also a member of the Second Quarter Eighth Division, scrutinized the still-drifting wisp of green smoke, a fighting spirit rising in her eyes.

"Is it not over yet?" Lu Xiqing stood beside the palanquin, her expression full of shock.

Another moment passed.

"It's been three-quarters of an hour!" Lu Dai's eyes narrowed, and she asked in surprise, "Haven't seen him for two hundred years, what kind of divine scripture has this person written?"

The words fell.

Several streaks of light rushed in from different directions outside the island and landed one after another beside the Purple Lotus Palace Master.

All the celestial beings looked up and saw that around the Purple Lotus Palace Master stood several deities with five incense wheels behind their heads.

"That is?"

"The temple masters of the surrounding divine islands, the Crimson Forest Temple Master, the Azure Netherworld Temple Master, the Fire Crystal Temple Master, the Mufeng Temple Master, and the Jade Emerald Temple Master, have gathered from the six islands of the Southern Region of the River Drum."

"Even the temple masters of the surrounding sacred islands have been alarmed?"

"A deduction lasting 35 minutes is something we haven't seen in nearly two hundred years. We must come and take a look!"

In fact, the celestial spirits were mistaken. The palace masters simply wanted to see who was burning the true scriptures in the celestial realm; it was a rare sight.

But when they arrived, they discovered that the incense had already been burning for three-quarters of an hour.

Palace Master Chilin asked in surprise, "Brother Zilian, whose attendant is this, that he has such an opportunity?"

"I don't know," said the Palace Master of Purple Lotus, shaking her head.

"You don't know your own territory?" the Fire Crystal Palace Master asked, puzzled.

"Don't talk nonsense. That old lady is still watching. What do you mean 'my territory'? This is the fiefdom of the manifested god." After saying that, the Purple Lotus Palace Master gestured to the God's Palace in the distance.

"What's there to be afraid of? We are under the command of the True Lord."

"Go tell those two true gods on Fire Crystal Island what you're saying," the Purple Lotus Palace Master joked.

"..." Upon hearing this, the Fire Crystal Palace Master immediately shut his mouth. Being a palace master is truly a tough job.

“It’s done in three quarters of an hour!” At this moment, Palace Master Mufeng interjected.

Upon hearing this, the six palace masters immediately fell silent. The Purple Lotus Palace Master even racked her brains, carefully recalling, "Who exactly is it? When did such a person arrive at Purple Lotus Divine Island?"

Yuan Zhong, who was lagging behind the gods, was so angry at the sight of the palace masters having such a heated discussion that he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Villain!

You villain!

Who on earth is it that came to Purple Lotus Island to burn the true scriptures?

Now look what's happened! As a newly promoted Spirit God, having just finished his slumber and at the height of his fame, he has been completely overshadowed by the brilliance of this villain!
"It's 3:42 already, how could it have taken so long?"

"Could it be that it's about to break the record set when it manifested the true god and proved itself as a spirit god?"

Upon hearing this, the celestial beings below began to discuss it.

"Manifesting a true god? Are you referring to that one?"

"It's Lu's great-aunt."

"How long did it take Him to burn the true scriptures when He attained His divine status?"

"I don't know."

"Brother Shenyou, how long did it take for your great-aunt to burn the paper offerings to prove her divine status?"

“Three quarters three, my grandfather was three quarters four.” Lu Shenyou stared intently at the wisp of green smoke, a strange sense of crisis washing over him.

Is there a deity on Purple Lotus Island whose talent surpasses that of my grandfather and great-aunt?

Is this still available?

This is outrageous!
At the same time, beside the palanquin outside the Zheng Shen Mansion, Lu Xiqing couldn't help but say, "Grand Aunt..."

“The True Lord above us now, when he burned the True Scripture back then, it only lasted for two quarters of an hour,” Lu Dai said calmly. “A good start doesn’t mean it will be good in the future.”

However, even so, those who attain the status of a true god generally spend more than two quarters of an hour burning the true scriptures. That particular True Lord was a complete accident.

He's usually a nice guy who doesn't offend anyone, so nobody takes him seriously.

However, in that fierce battle for the throne, this True Lord, who only had eight incense offerings, outmaneuvered seven others, devised a plan to kill six Nine-Wheel True Gods and one Eight-Wheel True God, and seized the position of Imperial True Lord in one fell swoop.

If Lu Guang hadn't risked his life to protect her, Lu Dai would have died that time too.

It was during that same incident that Lu Dai developed the habit of overthinking everything.

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, several more streaks of light flew in...

"The divine bodies of the surrounding islands have also arrived!" the celestial beings exclaimed in surprise.

Those who came were all minor avatars of the righteous gods from the surrounding divine islands. They did not ride in a palanquin, since they had come uninvited, and riding in a palanquin would be an act of provocation against Lu Dai, the lord of the fiefdom.

These deities stood around Lu Dai's palanquin and paid their respects to her.

Lu Dai had no choice but to create a avatar to stand with them.

At this moment, the celestial beings below looked up and were terrified by the sight of those "big light bulbs," so much so that they dared not even discuss anything.

"Senior Lu, who is this? His incantation has lasted for three quarters of an hour, hasn't it?" a seventh-rank deity asked curiously.

"I don't know." Lu Dai shook her head.

"Isn't he a sacrificial attendant of the Lu family?" asked one of the eight-wheeled righteous gods beside him, somewhat surprised.

"No."

Upon hearing this, the gods fell silent and all turned to look at the still-rising wisp of blue smoke.

"It's been three-quarters of an hour!"

"How long will He burn these prayers? What kind of sacred texts have He written?"

"Could His scriptures possibly save billions of lives?"

"How is that possible? How could a spirit god have such insight? There are billions of living beings; even the population under the protection of a righteous god doesn't exceed that!"

"Three quarters and sixty seconds! Unprecedented in a thousand years."

"More than a thousand years!"

Even these righteous gods, who were well-versed in many things, were somewhat confused at this moment.

In contrast, Yuan Zhong, who had initially hated her to the core, suddenly stopped hating her.

The duration of this incense offering exceeds that of both the Manifestation God and the Powerful God. What is there to hate?
"It's three-quarters of an hour!"

Lu Dai could no longer sit still. Her Dharma body floated and flew directly to the top of the heads of the celestial spirits.

She wanted to see who it was!
If it really is Su Xintang, then I will search every inch of Zilin Divine Island today and find Meng Bai!

This old guy actually has such methods?
All the other righteous gods also flew over. Although it was almost dark, the incense and prayer wheels of these righteous gods illuminated the place as if it were daytime.

"Three quarters of an hour and nine o'clock!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wisp of smoke dissipated, and golden light shone brightly in the sky.

Countless mysterious Daoist chants surged, auspicious energies descended, and strange phenomena appeared and disappeared intermittently. The celestial beings seemed to hear the chanting of the Daoist voice.

"Heaven bestows merit."

"It's done!"

"It actually worked! Burning the true scripture for three quarters of an hour and nine seconds, such a duration is probably something that no one will be able to achieve for the next thousand years."

"What title should be bestowed upon such a divine being?"

The celestial beings are speculating about what title Heaven will bestow upon them, and the righteous gods and temple masters are also guessing.

However, many ordinary Heavenly Spirits, like Su Xintang, did not quite understand these tricks and asked in hushed tones.

Is there any particular significance to this title?

"Yes, although people don't say it, there are different levels of titles."

"How to say?"

"This lowest title is based on the region in the mortal world. Because Heaven will allocate a small area of ​​sacred space in the mortal world for the deity, and the title will be based on the name of the sacred space."

"I see."

"The location of the temple will be written in the sacred edict. You can choose to go to the temple to become a god and protect the area, or you can choose not to go and attach yourself to the righteous gods or the deities listed in the registers, and go to their temples to seek a position so that you can enjoy the incense offerings."

"Can this still happen?"

"Of course. Look at those two divine generals. They attached themselves to the manifested gods and obtained the positions of the thirty-six divine generals. Heaven recognizes these legitimate positions, and once they obtain them, the titles on their official documents will change accordingly."

After that, another person chimed in, "Even the temple masters of the various divine islands have official duties and are under the command of True Monarch Yu Chen."

"So, the worst title is a regional title, and what about the better ones?"

"The better ones are titles like Wonderful Response Spirit God, or titles like Propagation and Security, which have specific meanings and describe the god as having special abilities."

For example, "妙应" (miàoyìng) refers to one's medical abilities; "宣化" (xuānhuà) refers to one's educational abilities. However, generally speaking, the titles of deities end there.

"Is there anything better?"

"That's for sure. I've heard that six thousand years ago, a great and compassionate spirit god emerged from the planet Niuzhu."

"Are you talking about...?"

"That's right, it is the Lord of the Ox Constellation, the Northern Ox Gold Prosperity and Great Compassionate Ruler of the Domain, also known as the Ox Gold Imperial Star Lord."

"You mean, this person can also receive the title of Great Compassion?"

"How could that be! I was just telling you, there are indeed better titles. However, it seems that no spirit god in the Hegu region has ever received one in the last few thousand years."

"What title will this deity receive?"

"Who knows? It shouldn't be too bad. Once the merit-based life-extending ceremony is over, the 'Spiritual God's Precious Proclamation' will soon be issued, and then we'll be able to see the title and the name."

At this point in the conversation, all the celestial beings looked up at the golden sky.

They all wanted to know who this spirit god was who had spent three quarters of an hour burning the true scriptures, and what title he would receive.
