Chapter 468: Chapter 467: Promotion (Thanks to the Alliance Leader, What Did I Lose?)

Li Er stepped out and referred thoughtfully, “So if we’re going by that logic, wouldn’t I have to be a tree god since my surname is Li?”

The Wishful Gourd also voiced its confusion: “I’m named Wishful, so doesn’t that mean… Oh no, that’s not right. The full name is Wishful Gourd; it can’t be broken down, I don’t have a surname.”

Jiang Li didn’t know whether this man and gourd were genuinely baffled or just pretending: “At this initial phase, the miracles we reveal don’t need to be overly miraculous, the primary goal is to make people aware of the existence of the River God.”

Li Er conformed: “Currently, our manpower is limited; it’s difficult to perform miracles everywhere, which will slow down the propagation.”

Jiang Li thought Li Er’s concerns were unnecessary: “Do you believe I can’t even achieve the small feat of splitting myself into millions?”

While talking, Jiang Li splits himself into numerous copies and disappears.

“At the moment, my clones are heading to every river; after tonight, all rivers will reflect my figure, oh, except sewage paths.”

Li Er was gobsmacked; others might not realize the complexity of the spell that Jiang Li just performed, but he understood that even the elite immortals only possess such skills.

Sometimes Li Er doubts whether the difference between him and Jiang Li is actually a mere level gap, it doesn’t feel like it?

“I’ll go to the Elf Forest to advertise the River God to the Human Emperor!” The Wishful Gourd volunteered enthusiastically, its yellow skin turning red in excitement.

Jiang Li stopped Wishful Gourd, “There’s no need for us to exert too much effort in the Elf Forest, the Queen of Elves will help us; as for the Beast Kingdom…”

“I’ll go to the Beast Kingdom!” Li Er took responsibility and volunteered for the task.

“And me! I’ll go too.” Like Li Er, the Wishful Gourd was also excited. If it couldn’t go to the Elf Forest, then the Beast Kingdom doesn’t sound bad either.

Upon seeing the high spirits of man and gourd, Jiang Li felt reassured. “Then it’ll be you two and the Unicorn, headed to the Beast Kingdom to promote the River God. Lans and I will stay in the Holy Empire.”

The transformed Unicorn sported a horn on its head, this wasn’t an issue, in the Beast Kingdom, everywhere one looks they can see beast-human hybrids who maintained some beastly characteristics.

…

The legend of the River God started spreading gradually among the Elves’ Forest, Beast Kingdom, and the Holy Empire established by humans. People also started realizing that the River God is not fabricated, but truly exists and is omnipotent.

The event of a lost axe can’t happen every day, thus River God Jiang Li needed other ways to showcase his greatness.

The river surface glowed gold, signaling the appearance of the River God.

One person kneels before the River God: “Oh Great River God, please grant me a child.”

“…” Jiang Li thought this request was beyond his capabilities.

However, being a Deity— a Deity of the Primordial Chaotic River that he is, it wouldn’t sound reasonable for him to be incapable of granting a child.

Secretly, Jiang Li contacted the couple Ma Zhuo to create some revitalizing medical prescriptions then reach out to the Chief of Alchemy Peak, Su Wei, to amend the prescriptions into something usable in Eira World.

Upon seeing Ma Zhuo’s prescription, Su Wei was astounded, considering these two as concealed alchemy geniuses for coming up with rejuvenating formulas from such unique perspectives.

Jiang Li knew that once this couple starts anything related to child-bearing, their talents are terrifying.

“It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If you use the medicine as per this prescription, you will have numerous offspring.”

That person thanked the River God and left.

People saw him seeming delighted and went forward to ask about the situation.

“It’s truly a real god. I went to church to pray for a child and the priest said he could stand in my stead. But compared to the church, the River God is even more reliable.”

Some raised doubts: “But being able to directly see a deity and having our wishes granted feels quite lackluster compared to the mysterious Seven Gods.”

Others scoffed at the doubt, “Are you implying this is the true form of a deity? How could that be possible? The true from of the River God rests in the Primordial Chaotic River. This is but a mere thought of a god.”

“A single thought from the River God becomes a clone. I heard there are images of the River God everywhere in the Empire.”

“It’s not just in the Empire, tradesmen have said that the Beast Kingdom and Elf Forest also bear the image of the River God.”

“That many clones from the River God!”

…

“Oh great River God, I hope my child can be a great hero. However, I also fear mishaps might happen in the dungeons. Do you have any solutions?”

“Dear mother, all you need to do is to soak your child in the river, and it will ensure his robust health.”

Upon hearing this, the mother joyfully grabbed her child by the ankle and dipped him into the river water.

Lans asked curiously, “Have you decided on a name for your child?”

“His name is Achilles.”

…

“Oh great River God, as a wizard, I have an odd fondness for melee combat, however my teammates are not very happy about it, and I can’t learn close combat skills. Can you transform me into a warrior?” The wizard put down his heavy magic wand and made his wish.

Wizards can cast spells on themselves to enhance their bodies, giving them physical abilities that rivals a warrior’s.

Persistent spells require constant consumption of mana, and hence, this style of fighting can’t be maintained for long. Typically, a wizard will only resort to this when forced into close combat.

With a placid look on his face, Jiang Li responds: “My child, as a god, I’m capable of anything. I can definitely aid you in becoming a warrior, but the skills blessed upon you by the God of Light conflict with mine. You must completely let go of your faith in them to receive the skills I bestow.”

Without overthinking, the wizard abandoned all his skills.

Jiang Li displayed his divine power by imprinting his finger on the wizard’s forehead, helping him to begin his Qi Cultivation to become a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator.

Jiang Li also gave the wizard a manual of body refinement techniques and some resources for his cultivation.

“The God of Light and others provide skills that are shortcuts and unconventional, You shall cultivate according to the mantra in this manual, within ten days, you should start seeing results.”

The wizard was overjoyed. From the moment he attained Qi Cultivation stage, he believed he already became a warrior, and hence naturally believed whatever the River God said afterward.

“What weapon do I need after becoming a warrior?” The wizard looked at his Cranium Hammer spell staff, murmuring to himself, “Might as well replace it with a heavier staff.”

…

The Wishful Gourd served as the spokesperson for the River God, marketing the greatness of the River God tirelessly, attracting all the Beastmen.

“What, you want to learn time manipulation magic? As insignificant as breathing for the River God.”

“Don’t you be doubting, you know what? The River God doesn’t just rule over the Primordial Chaotic River, have you heard of the Time River? The River God rules that too.”

“The River God wanders through the Time River, the one and only god that has existed since the dawn of time and till the end. He is the inception and also the demise. Compared to the River God, the God of Light who governs over the Light domain is but a false god.”

Wishful Gourd chattered nonchalantly, after all, it was Jiang Li’s job to fulfill the promises, it was only there to do the marketing.

When the followers came with the desire for time manipulation spells, the River God Jiang Li almost teared the Wishful Gourd apart in vexation.

You wish to learn time manipulation spells, huh?
