The City God was a byproduct of the cultivation dynasty after the spiritual qi recovery.
At that time, in the cities of the world, other than the “Yang Official” who handled mortal affairs and ruled over a region, every place also had a corresponding “Yin Official” who was specially responsible for the Netherworld affairs of a region.
This Netherworld was not the land of reincarnation or the underworld, but a world that mortals could not see.
Among them were the spirits in the mountain and the ghosts after death.
It could be seen how ambitious the cultivation dynasty was at that time. Not only did they have to care about the living, but they also had to rule the dead and demons.
The City Gods of various places were basically not conferred to living people. They were all demons, spiritual beasts, and loyal cultivators who were willing to submit to the dynasty and die for the country.
This was slightly similar to Jiang Li’s current Prosperous Jiang Hong. He did not mind those demons and ghosts that were not presentable on the outside.
Yin and Yang cooperated with each other and restrained each other in order to maintain the stability of their rule.
The foundation was naturally the Heaven-rank artifact, the City God’s Hall.
With this hall as the guide, even if these spirits died in the mountains and did not have special incense divine arts, they could still enjoy the power of incense offerings.
Therefore, this system almost covered the entire dynasty back then. It was not strange for its number to reach a million.
“That’s Guzhuo City’s City God Yang Jiaoshan! Fuxing City’s City God Chen Wenlong!”
“There’s also Fortune Province’s City God Zhou Ke, Wuhu City’s City God Xu Sheng, and Willow River’s City God Zong Yuan!”
“Suzhou City’s City God Chun Shenjun, Fengzhou City’s City God Su Yin, Southern Giant City’s City God Zhong Ying, Shaoxin City’s City God Pang Yu, Quwo City’s City God Shen Sheng, Jinan City’s City God Tie Xin, Zhengzhou City’s City God Ji Xin, Tainan City’s City God Zhu Yigui...”
All of them were old fellows who had lived for thousands of years and knew quite a bit about the past.
Coupled with the fact that they had cultivated the Essence Soul, it was impossible for them to forget some things.
Therefore, although these City Gods had disappeared for five thousand years and had only left behind some portraits and records, they recognized many of them immediately.
“Apart from the Capital City’s City God and the 18 Duke’s City Gods, all the City Gods are here!”
According to the prosperity of the area under their jurisdiction and the number of people, the City Gods were naturally stronger or weaker.
They could roughly be divided into five grades. There was also the Duke’s City God whose status was comparable to a noble, and the Capital City’s City God who was even more noble and could only be held by the royal family’s ghosts.
The higher the grade of the City God, the more incense offerings they received, and the stronger they were.
“Their strength is completely different from back then. The Blood King has spent a lot of effort on them. Everyone, be careful!”
If these City Gods only maintained their standards back then, they would naturally be a group of useless people.
This was under the circumstances that Jiang Li had a complete status.
The situation of other ordinary Earth Immortals would probably be much worse than him.
Coupled with the injuries they had suffered earlier, it was already the best outcome to have their combat strength reduced by half.
“Kill them!”
As soon as the Blood King finished speaking, the million City Gods who were originally standing quietly in the surroundings suddenly pounced at them crazily.
They had no rationality as if they had turned back into demons and ghosts, only using their long fangs and sharp claws to injure people.
However, the people from the Divine Judgment Hall were not much better.
Under the envelopment of the four braziers, 99% of the spells they used had no effect. They would dissipate as soon as they left his hand.
The artifacts in their hands were also greatly suppressed here.
After less than a thousand feet, it would fall to the ground. Even if it was used to smash people, the power would be greatly reduced.
Helpless, other than the three divine pillars, the other dignified Earth Immortals could only fight the million City Gods on the ground like ordinary mortal martial artists.
This scene was simply like the center of a world war, but the heads of the two countries used marbles to determine the outcome.
It looked a little funny.
The Divine Judgment Hall had the absolute disadvantage in numbers as if they were about to be swallowed by a million City Gods at any time.
However, although these City Gods had been cleansed by incense offerings, most of them were still far inferior to true Earth Immortals.
It was impossible to kill everyone with one spell technique.
However, other than those powerful first and second-grade City Gods, it was not a problem to slap three to five to death.
Although these million City Gods were many, they could only exhaust the experts. It was very difficult to really kill the Divine Judgment Hall experts.
Sooner or later, they would be able to slaughter all these historical remnants.
However, the more this was the case, the more uneasy the Divine Judgment Hall felt. The situation seemed to be amiss.
After smashing a Tiger Demon City God into pieces, Jiang Li also felt very strange.
“Too weak!”
“The power displayed by the Blood King Palace is too weak!”
