"I knew it, I knew that the City God is still here. He has not left and is still protecting us..." The old man muttered to himself and looked at Zhou He enthusiastically.

Zhou He ignored them and jumped off the altar. Then he stretched out his hand and saw the fragments of the exploded statues flying up one by one, and then a statue of the god was reassembled on the altar.

That face was eighty percent similar to Zhou He's.

Immediately, Zhou He had a thought in his mind, and his figure disappeared from where he was.

The three old men also saw the statue of the City God, and they all looked enthusiastic. They were already convinced that Zhou He was the City God.

The three people did not leave, but gathered together not knowing what to say.

After a few minutes, it seemed that they had reached an agreement. The three of them dragged the five corpses out of the temple together, found a place, dug a hole at random, and buried them.

Finally, Wang Ergou and his wife carried three bundles of firewood to the county town to sell, but the old man stayed at the Chenghuang Temple and actually started cleaning.

…

Zhou He appeared in a room.

Here, it is empty and very shabby, and it is the space that Liu Tianyu brought here.

Now, Zhou He has entered it physically.

This space is a special space in the City God's Temple, opened up with the City God's golden seal.

Cultivating here can get twice the result with half the effort, and it is also where the City God and his subordinates live.

It seems that due to the dilapidation of the City God's Temple, this special space was reduced to only one empty room.

Now, Zhou He can be said to be a real city god.

"Fuyuan is here. It's really impossible to stop him. He just came to this world, and his strength has improved so much, and he has become a city god." A happy smile appeared on Zhou He's face.

Immediately, Zhou He took the scroll in his hand and smiled on his face.

[Scroll of Painting]: The best magic weapon, which can reflect the soul and keep it immortal. It can be connected to the statue of the god and absorb and store the power of incense.

Zhou He tossed it gently, and the scroll unfolded and was finally hung on the wall.

The face of the scroll is exactly the same as that of Zhou He, and there is also a golden seal of the City God on the lower right side.

Although this scroll can protect his soul, it has no effect on him.

However, it is still a top-quality magic weapon, several levels stronger than his soul-enchanting chain.

"The power of incense is a good thing. It seems that I have to make the city god's incense flourish." Zhou He touched his chin and thought.

"However, the most important thing now is to complete the ritual of the City God's golden seal first." Zhou He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine the golden seal.

He only has preliminary control, but he can also deprive Liu Tianyu of his control. If he completes the sacrifice, the power will definitely be even more powerful.

…

Another day has passed.

Zhou He finally completed the golden seal sacrifice, put the golden seal into his body, and began to recall Liu Tianyu's fragmentary memories.

After absorbing the soul power of the previous City God Liu Tianyu, he also obtained some fragmentary memories from it.

These memories are Liu Tianyu's most important ones.

They are the method of setting up the spirit gathering array, the memory of being killed by the tree demon grandma, and the reason why the immortals did not come out.

This place is the human world, and humans are the rulers here, controlling this world.

However, at some point, people's hearts have become filthy, violent, cold-blooded, greedy, and selfish. In this way, the world is filled with an evil spirit.

When this evil spirit filled the world, the gods were afraid that the evil spirit would pollute their bodies, so they withdrew from this small world.

In the final analysis, it is the sins of one's own doings that make this world so filthy, with evildoers so rampant that immortals and gods cannot emerge.

The previous City God of Guobei County, for some reason, did not leave, but stayed here.

In the end, he was forcefully attacked by the tree demon, who killed his body, destroyed his appearance, and finally ended up as a remnant soul.

This world is just one of the three thousand great worlds and countless small worlds.

The Three Pure Taoist Patriarchs, the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods in heaven, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism cannot possibly appear in so many worlds.

The immortals and gods in each world are just one of the billions of divine thoughts that have been differentiated from their own bodies.

Of course, things like the city god, earth god, river god, judge, etc. are all local immortals and gods, who truly manage the laws of this world.

A large number of immortals and gods withdrew, so that the laws of the world collapsed, and the mountain gods, river gods, and city gods disappeared.

Even the underworld has no one to manage it. There are only big demons from the underworld like the Old Demon of Montenegro who occupy the former underworld cities and dominate them.

Just like Liu Tianyu, although he was a city god, his cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul stage. However, due to some ulterior secrets, he did not leave with the gods.

As a result, the immortal body was polluted by evil spirits, and its strength declined extremely quickly, reaching the golden elixir stage.

It was precisely this that caused the tree demon grandma to come directly to the door, greedy for the power of incense.

Most of the power of the incense was also robbed. If his remnant soul hadn't seen the opportunity and got some incense from the statue into the painting, without the warmth and nourishment of the incense power, he would have died long ago.

"Huh! It's really your own fault. You can't live without it." Zhou He sighed and shook his head after learning the secrets.

However, these are none of Zhou He's business anyway, he just needs to gain some benefits and improve his strength.

"At least, we have to advance to the Golden Core stage." Zhou He stood up slowly and prepared to leave the special space.

Suddenly, Zhou He was stunned, and he quickly looked around the room.

The originally somewhat dilapidated and empty house turned out to be extremely tidy at some point, as if it had been cleaned and repaired.

At the same time, Zhou He clearly felt that the room was actually about one-third larger.

"What's going on?"

Zhou He quickly released his spiritual consciousness and instantly enveloped the entire City God Temple.

At this time, the Chenghuang Temple had been cleaned.

All the weeds, dead leaves, and filth in the courtyard were cleared away.

The debris, dead grass and a lot of dust in the house were also swept clean.

The entire City God's Temple was completely new. Even his offering platform was enshrined with some fruits and a roasted chicken, and a few sticks of incense were placed in the incense burner.

And the huge incense burner that fell down in the center of the courtyard had been erected at some point, with a handful of burning incense erected inside.

"Is this the power of incense?" Zhou He sensed his statue and found that it actually had a little more power of incense.

Although it is very small, it is indeed the power of incense.

Zhou He looked at the old man who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard and Wang Ergou's wife who was weeding, and murmured in his heart: "Are they them?"

At this moment, outside the City God's Temple, Wang Ergou limped towards the City God's Temple.

As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, Wang Ergou's wife quickly exclaimed and then greeted her with a worried look on her face.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you covered in wounds?" Wang Chunhua looked worried.

"Ergou, what's wrong with you?" The old man also came over quickly.

"Huh, it's not like the guys at Laifu Inn, the price of firewood has been suppressed again."

"I didn't want to sell it to them, so they forced me to buy it. They only gave me a few copper coins. I refused and that's what happened in the end." Wang Ergou said angrily.

"Ergou, don't do this next time. They are more powerful, so just don't sell to them next time." The old man sighed and said.

"But I just can't swallow this breath." A look of anger appeared on Wang Ergou's face.

"Master, don't be like this. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about me and grandpa," the wife said.

"Okay, I understand." Wang Ergou fell silent immediately after hearing this.

Yes, you should not only think about yourself, but also think about your family. If something happens to him, his grandfather and his wife will have no one to rely on.

In this world where people cannibalize people, it is destined to be difficult for the two of them to survive without support.

Zhou He looked at their family, thought for a moment, and with a thought in his mind, he left the special space and appeared in the courtyard.

Zhou Heyi showed up, and the old man noticed it immediately. Then, with a look of surprise on his face, he was about to kneel down.

Wang Ergou and his wife also immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

But Zhou He reached out and released a gentle force to lift the three of them up.

"No need to be polite, you three are responsible for taking care of this City God's Temple?" Zhou He said with a faint smile.

"The little old man saw that the Chenghuang Temple was too messy, so he took it upon himself to clean up and repair it with his grandson and grandson's wife." The old man said with an excited face.

"Very good." Zhou He smiled and waved his hand, releasing a soft force that penetrated Wang Ergou's body.

Immediately, Wang Ergou's injuries were healed immediately, and he also recovered from his bruised nose and face.

"Your Excellency, the City God, I am willing to serve you." The old man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou He.

"Thank you City God for treating my injury. We are all willing to serve you in the City God's Temple!" Wang Ergou and his wife also knelt on the ground suddenly.

Zhou He looked at the three of them and suddenly felt dumbfounded.

However, the words of the three of them made Zhou He think about it.
