I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Perhaps it was because he lacked knowledge about divinity, so he could ask Wang Shu for advice.

"Could you explain the concept of divinity to me?"

Lin Yi hadn't forgotten about Jiang Linglong, although she was now able to temporarily control her rationality because she had regained power.

But Lin Yi cannot rest easy until this hidden danger is resolved.

Wang Shu was also surprised that Lin Yi, who was so powerful, didn't even know such common sense.

He was able to fight against the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, which means his strength has reached at least that level. Does he not have a divine status himself?

Wang Shu didn't quite understand, but she couldn't pry into Lin Yi's secrets right now, since the two of them hadn't established a complete trust relationship yet.

Once she helps subdue Xihe, we can try asking her some questions.

Now, all she needs to do is answer Lin Yi's questions.

"Divinity is the embodiment of divine position. In essence, this is the divine position of the Taiyin Star Lord. If you merge and absorb it, you will become the new Taiyin Star Lord."

"I understand, it's the same as a mortal's seal."

Wang Shu: "..."

Is it possible to understand it this way?

It doesn't seem to have any problems, but there is still a difference between divine items and mortal tokens.

"Divinity is not only a token, but also a vessel of faith. Gods can only obtain the power of faith through divinity, and the faith of all living beings will also affect the gods through divinity."

Wang Shu gave an example: "For instance, my status as the Taiyin Star Lord is influenced by how people perceive the moon."

All beings consider the moon beautiful and pure, therefore I am also a goddess of purity and beauty; my beauty surpasses all others in the three realms.

She wasn't embarrassed at all when she said that.

Lin Yi was too lazy to argue with her.

He was simply trying to understand what it meant.

Note: The faith of the masses can change the gods.

"This influence can be positive or negative. For example, Yao Ji."

Wang Shu always used examples from herself and the people around her, because she knew them well.

"Yao Ji was originally a star goddess, and a shooting star goddess at that. People worshipped her, believing that she would bring disaster, and unlike other stars, she did not keep to her proper place, so she was unruly and rebellious."

Of course, perhaps that's just how she is.

Wang Shu then casually posted a critique of Yao Ji.

After she finished speaking, she realized that this wasn't convincing enough, so she added another example.

"Yao Ji stole the authority of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but the authority of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was something she comprehended on her own. She stole the divine essence but could not integrate it. In the end, she borrowed the magic weapon of the Heavenly Empress to split the divine essence."

She stole a portion of it, used a secret method to sever her connection with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and then merged another part of her divine essence with the divine essence of the female demon.

From then on, the original Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden became Nuba. And since she possessed the untainted divine nature of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, she naturally became the new Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

The goddess Ba was the goddess of drought, and all living beings harbored malice towards this malevolent deity. They believed that malevolent gods were cursed spirits, and this malice ultimately affected the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who had transformed into the drought demon.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yi then realized why Jiang Linglong had become a zombie. She hadn't been bitten by a zombie because her own divine essence had been corrupted, and Jiang Linglong had been corrupted along with her.

Wang Shu was just trying to give an example; she had no idea about the relationship between Lin Yi and Jiang Linglong.

This example was so insightful that it directly solved his case.

Yao Ji was indeed the ringleader, but she had many accomplices.

Without someone helping her perform the secret technique, she would never have been able to steal the divine status.

"How did the divine status of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden fall into the hands of Yao Ji?"

Seeing that Lin Yi cared a lot about the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Wang Shu didn't think much of it.

Now that she's determined to rebel with Lin Yi, she naturally won't hide anything from the people of the Immortal Realm.

"The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, but her divine status remained in the Immortal Realm. Yao Ji, relying on her deep favor, secretly stole it!"

In order to completely prevent the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden from having any chance to turn the tide, she even colluded with the Demon Clan and threw the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's divine status into the Demon Abyss.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden not only had to endure the drought demon's curse, but also be corrupted by the Demon Abyss. She could only fall into demonhood, never again be an immortal.

When Wang Shu mentioned this, she also expressed her disdain for Yao Ji.

Because from beginning to end, this guy didn't do a single good thing.

Stealing divine status and divine positions—he's nothing but a thief.

But instead of concealing her theft, she proudly proclaimed it everywhere, as if she wanted the whole world to know that she had obtained the position of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden through theft.

From that time on, no immortal with divine status dared to leave their divine status in the immortal realm when they descended to the mortal world.

What I fear most are these kinds of thieves.

Just like the Star Lord of Greed.

The means he preserved for himself was not a divine status, but a wisp of divine soul.

If the divine essence remained in the Immortal Realm, Lin Yi might not have been able to kill him.

Yao Ji alone made all the gods in the celestial realm feel insecure.

If even a goddess of such high status as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was treated this way, how could those of lower status escape such a calamity?

Even the Five Heavenly Emperors carefully guarded their respective directions, rarely returning to the Heavenly Court, and never allowing their divine status to leave their physical bodies.

Therefore, Wang Shu's handing over her divine status to Lin Yi was indeed a sufficient expression of her sincerity.

Lin Yiguang was already satisfied enough after listening to all the examples she gave.

Because the answer he originally needed to spend a lot of time searching for had already been found by Wang Shu.

This is the joy of directly identifying the person who asked the question!

There are two ways to reverse Jiang Linglong's symptoms.

First, change the image of the drought demon in people's minds.

Lin Yi still remembers that not long ago, due to a severe drought, many places were fighting against drought demons.

Once the drought demon is driven away, the drought can be resolved.

This is a folk tradition in many places.

All of this must be changed, otherwise Jiang Linglong will suffer every time they fight the drought demon.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't blame these people.

They were not the ones who caused all these mistakes; it was the Celestial Realm.

Lin Yi will help Jiang Linglong get revenge for this.

The second step is to go to the Abyss of Demons to retrieve the lost divine essence.

He will make a trip there after we win this battle.

“I have seen your sincerity. To convince her, I can give you a drop of my blood.”

Lin Yi condensed a drop of his own blood and sensed the pure Yang divine power within it; Wang Shu was also a little tempted.

She also longed for the pure Yang divine power.

Yin and Yang are inherently mutually attractive.

But she also knew that she had to be patient at this time.

Perhaps, once she successfully defeats Xihe, Lin Yi might give her some of his essence blood.

"Then I'm leaving. You must protect me. The divine power is in your hands. Even if I die, there is a way to bring me back to life."

"Alright, don't worry, no one can take your divinity from me."

Lin Yi carefully placed the crescent moon close to his body, and Wang Shu nodded in relief. Then, carrying the Haotian Mirror, he flew into the sky.

Seeing that she had left, and having nothing else to do, Lin Yi began to think about how to clear Jiang Linglong's name.

But no matter how much I think about it, I can't get around the root cause of the drought demon.

Since that's the case, let's just get straight to the point and clear the name of the drought demon.

Anyway, the original drought demon is gone, and the current drought demon is Jiang Linglong.

To change the public's impression of the drought demon, the only solution is to rewrite the legends about it.

Lin Yi is quite experienced in this area.

As long as a story resonates with people, black can be portrayed as white, and white as black.

He decided to write the story himself.

He has read a lot of novels, watched a lot of TV series and watched a lot of movies, so he knows the public's preferences very well.

The most attractive qualities for a female protagonist can always be summed up in three words: beautiful, strong, and tragic.

Her beauty and strength inspire admiration, while her tragic fate evokes pity.

When these three are combined, they become invincible.

Lin Yi originally wanted to create a character for Jiang Linglong, but then he thought, why bother with a character? Just use this story, adapt it a bit, and that's it!

To enhance the relatability for ordinary viewers, Jiang Linglong's identity is that of an ordinary immortal who cultivated step by step to become a drought demon, but because she offended a powerful figure and was plotted against, she became a drought demon and suffered its curse.

Even under such circumstances, she would rather suffer the pain herself than bring disaster to the people. This is why the drought demon would flee after being driven away only slightly.

Despite possessing immense power, he couldn't bear to harm the weak, and thus suffered prejudice and abuse from the world...

The story has become quite heartbreaking up to this point, but if it's only heartbreaking, it won't be easy for it to spread widely.

The ending must be satisfying and cathartic.

So Lin Yi added himself to the list.

The drought demon has been bullied like this, it must get revenge, but how can it get revenge?

This requires a love story.
